Chapter 451: Leng Ruoli's Biological Mother
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
After agreeing on a location, Leng Ruoli went to meet her.
Not long after she arrived, she caught sight of an elegant figure appear.
The woman had a Milanese style silk scarf tied around her neck, was dressed rather elegantly and generously, and wore beige high heels. She walked with a breeze.
When Leng Ruoli saw her, her eyes instantly lit up, and she called out sweetly, "Mommy!"
The moment Leng Ruoli called out, the woman's gaze softened a little, and she curved her red lips at Leng Ruoli. "Has it been a long wait."
Leng Ruoli was rather surprised.
Her mommy was a perfectionist, and in the past she rarely showed her a smile, but now her expression was clearly much better, and she was even smiling at her.
"Mommy, did something good happen to you?" Leng Ruoli asked curiously.
The woman's red lips curved faintly. "There is indeed one thing." Her gaze landed meaningfully on Leng Ruoli. "It's just that we still have to wait."
After hearing Xiang Shan's words, Leng Ruoli felt somewhat puzzled. "What is it that needs waiting for?"
"The matter of finding you a dad." Xiang Shan paused. "It needs a bit of waiting. I'd say there's a good chance."
The words shocked Leng Ruoli.
She sized Xiang Shan up carefully. Her charm still lingered. No wonder she'd been so amiable when she arrived, far gentler than before. So it was love that had nourished her.
Leng Ruoli was overjoyed. "Mom, you have someone you like? Who is it? Do I know them?"
"You don't know him, but I'll introduce you two. By this afternoon, you'll be able to meet." With that thought, Xiang Shan felt extremely delighted. "You help me scout him out too."
Leng Ruoli suddenly felt a bit nervous. "I'm not mentally prepared yet."
"What preparation do you need? Just act like you usually do. Actually, I need your help right now." Xiang Shan furrowed her brows. "He isn't very old. How can I make myself look a bit younger?"
Leng Ruoli gave an "Ah" of surprise. "Mom, about how old is he?"
She had a bad feeling about this.
Xiang Shan thought for a moment, then said, "Around twenty, I'd say."
Leng Ruoli was speechless.
Her mom was amazing! If she didn't make a move, then fine, but the moment she did, she found someone more than twenty years younger than her.
But the problem was, if it really worked out, then how was she supposed to address him?
If he was even younger than her, then calling him dad would be absolutely awkward.
While Leng Ruoli was doing a lot of internal fretting, Xiang Shan furrowed her brows slightly. "What's wrong? Do you think the age gap is too small?"
"It is a bit, it makes me feel like it's a little sudden." Leng Ruoli coughed lightly to dispel her awkwardness. "But, if the two of you truly love each other, I won't oppose you being together."
After all, it had been so hard for her mom to find happiness. Leng Ruoli also understood that finding someone you like was very difficult, especially since being together required the two of them to go through a lot. If she became a stumbling block on her mommy's path, then her conscience would definitely trouble her.
After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, the corners of Xiang Shan's mouth lifted slightly. "Even if you opposed it, it would make no difference. But," she paused, "I'm still very happy to have my own daughter's approval."
Leng Ruoli could not help but smile sweetly. "Then what kind of personality does he have? How did you two meet?"
"I'm starting to believe in fate now." When Xiang Shan mentioned the person she liked, there was a faint warmth in her eyes. "He's one of the more outstanding guys I've met, one of the more reliable and down-to-earth ones for his age, and fairly wise, and full of a sense of responsibility. Anyway, I rather admire him."
Her mommy was very picky, so now that Leng Ruoli saw her mommy able to list so many praises, the other party was definitely outstanding.
"From what you say, Mom, if he's so outstanding, the competition must be fierce, and there must be lots of young girls who like him." Leng Ruoli understood this deeply, after all, her own man attracted quite a few girls.
His Peach Blossom Luck was just too abundant. Wherever he went, he drew butterflies and bees.
Fortunately he was reliable, and he was very devoted and deeply affectionate to her, and wouldn't be casually lured away by those girls, nor would he flirt around.
"Don't you believe in your mommy's ability?" Xiang Shan was still quite confident. "Guys don't only like young and pretty girls, they also like mature women with tactics and wisdom."
Although she wasn't clear on his exact thoughts, if she took the initiative to strike, there was no guy she couldn't handle. He only needed to crook a finger and he'd come to her side.
Leng Ruoli looked at her mommy's beautiful appearance. She didn't look like a woman in her forties at all. She was tall and graceful, open-minded, and looked like a young lady in her early thirties.
Standing together with her mom, they were like sisters. Nobody would ever connect them as mother and daughter.
"Come, pick me an outfit that looks young and is more appealing to guys, and pick one for yourself while you're at it. Later we'll go meet him together." Xiang Shan said to Leng Ruoli with a smile in her eyes.
Leng Ruoli was overjoyed when she heard this. "Okay~"
She enthusiastically and actively recommended dresses to Xiang Shan.
Originally the two of them hadn't been close, but now the distance between them was suddenly bridged.
"Mom, what do you think of this dress?" Leng Ruoli took down a dress and held it in front of herself, then turned toward Xiang Shan.
After looking, Xiang Shan thought for a moment, then hesitated. "Would it make my legs look too short? The color seems a bit too pink."
"Mom, just try it. Your legs are so pretty, of course you have to pick a dress that shows off your long legs. Besides, this pink really brings out your complexion. You're so elegant, and it suits your skin tone too." Leng Ruoli said enthusiastically.
After hearing her words, Xiang Shan felt a bit tempted. "Alright, then I'll go try it on."
So Xiang Shan went and changed into it, and put together, it really made Leng Ruoli's eyes light up.
She was so pretty, entirely having inherited her mom's beauty.
Even though she was forty now, her face hadn't left the slightest trace of the years, and her figure was still so good.
Especially since this dress really showed off her figure, curvy in all the right places. Once her mom put it on, she was just like a young lady in her twenties or thirties. It really looked great.
"It looks great! Mom, I'll buy it for you, it really suits you~ I picked out an outfit for you too, try changing into it and let's see." Leng Ruoli smiled and continued recommending several outfits to her.
Xiang Shan listened to Leng Ruoli and began changing into them.
When clothes looked good on her, Xiang Shan's mood was naturally good too.
Women all had a desire to shop, especially when her own daughter was so satisfied with how she looked, so Xiang Shan naturally had to buy them.
"Look at this, does it look good?" After Xiang Shan came out, she saw something, took down a green dress and turned toward Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli nodded repeatedly. "It looks great."
"A gift for you, I think it suits you very well." Xiang Shan smiled.
Leng Ruoli was overwhelmed with favor. She held the dress Xiang Shan gave her, overjoyed. "Really? Thank you, Mom!"
