Chapter 165: So, Whose Girlfriend Is She? (1)

Shi Guang was really nervous, such that she could only sit awkwardly straight–she had long forgotten about the lines she had prepared with Huo Zhan beforehand. Because she had a guilty conscience, she was stuttering with her words as well.

On the other hand, Huo Zhan was way more composed, and thanks to his sweet tongue, Mummy Huo was totally gleeful with his coaxing. However, that did not mean that she had let Huo Zhan off the hook just yet.

She looked at Shi Guang beside her and said tenderly, “Shi Guang, I’ve watched you grow up. Since you were young, you were always someone stellar in character and grades… an obedient and well-behaved child. You’re completely different from this smelly brat of mine. It’s a pity that you’re my neighbor’s kid and I was always just thinking of how nice it would be if you were my own daughter instead. Of course, I want you to be my daughter-in-law, but this son of mine… he really is…” She then looked at Huo Zhan fiercely.

To be honest, she wasn’t too convinced that the two of them were together. Back in the past when she was always talking about how good Shi Guang was, Huo Zhan would always be making faces by the side.

When she asked if the two of them wanted to try getting together, he would roar out into laughter, bending over while clutching his stomach and laughing as if it couldn’t have been any funnier. “Stop messing around, mum. Shi Guang? That kid is better off being your daughter than your daughter-in-law!”

But, the moment she said that she was about to forcefully arrange a marriage for him, he declared that Shi Guang was his true love?

That was really hard to believe!

Huo Zhan was already long used to the cold stares of his mum as he pulled out a cheery face. “Mum…”

“You shut up!” Mummy Huo stopped him, not wanting to listen to his nonsense. She then looked at Shi Guang once more and said with a tender voice. “Shi Guang, I want to listen to it from you. You’re different from Huo Zhan–you haven’t had any boyfriends before, and you’re someone with a sincere and serious attitude towards relationships and marriage.”

Shi Guang was really touched. She knew that Mummy Huo was saying that out of concern for her, afraid that she might end up being hurt by Huo Zhan. After all, for two people to be together, the worst thing that could happen would be for one to be totally unbothered while the other faced it with a serious attitude.

“Auntie, Ah Zhan 1 is not as bad as you make him out to be. The two of us really want to give it a shot to see if we’re compatible.”

With that said, Shi Guang smiled out as her eyes curved into the arcs of a moon, glistening with a slight sparkle in them.

“Then, have you discussed with Ah Zhan about marriage yet?” Mummy Huo really adored Shi Guang from the bottom of her heart, and could not wish for anything more than her son to marry the latter in as soon as possible.

Shi Guang flushed red as she waved her hand off immediately. “That… not yet! We’re not at that stage yet!”

Huo Zhan’s face turned serious right away as well. “M-Mum! That’s too hasty, isn’t it? We’ve only just gotten together! To talk about marriage right now? That is something that is too serious for us to discuss. Things are different from the past now… You’ve got to be more open-minded!”

“… Is that so?” Mummy Huo looked at him with raised brows, clearly skeptical.

“Of course!”

Huo Zhan shifted seats and moved beside his mum. Extending his arm, he hugged her around her shoulders. “This time around, I’m really serious about this relationship. Mum, believe me just this once. Even if you don’t believe me, you’ve got to believe in Shi Guang, right?”

With that said, he cast a look over at Shi Guang.

“That’s right, auntie!” Shi Guang smiled out once more. However, it was a dry and guilty smile. Thankfully, the waitress served the dishes, causing the awkwardness in the air to slowly dissipate away.

In between, Huo Zhan went to the restroom.

Mummy Huo smiled over at Shi Guang. “Aren’t you an athlete? Why are you still so skinny? You look as though the wind would blow you over! You should eat more and grow more meat!”
