Chapter 461: Meeting My Mother-in-Law Tomorrow
"Should have no problem," Jiang Muye said smugly.
After the toasts, the newlyweds left.
Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye with a smile. "You're so quick-witted. If you hadn't stepped in, I don't know what I would've done."
Jiang Muye reached out and ruffled Leng Ruoli's head. "Hey, my brain's definitely fast. After all, I have to manage so many companies. Besides, it's only normal that my thinking's clearer than yours. You, on the other hand, got all dumb from being in love. But it's cute."
Hearing that, Leng Ruoli was dizzy with sweetness, honeyed right down to her heart. "I want to be your wife as soon as possible!"
Jiang Muye rubbed Leng Ruoli's hair. "And I want to be your husband. Ah, if I could, I'd really want to hurry to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the certificate."
"Then I'll go steal the household register tomorrow!" Leng Ruoli clenched her little pink fist, all fired up.
Seeing how serious Leng Ruoli looked, not at all like she was joking, Jiang Muye was a bit frightened. "Tomorrow? But we haven't prepared the marriage certificate photos, and we haven't done the premarital checkup. There's no time."
Leng Ruoli let out an "ah" and muttered, "Right, so complicated."
"There are a lot of steps, but if the ending is marrying you, then it's no trouble at all. Oh, and whatever you do, don't go steal the household register. If Mother-in-Law suspects I put you up to it, her impression of me will definitely take a turn for the worse," Jiang Muye instructed Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli mm-hmmed and said sweetly to Jiang Muye, "My fiancé is so great, so thorough. Alright, I don't care about waiting one more day. Anyway, you two can meet tomorrow night."
After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Muye was full of anticipation.
He hoped this Mother-in-Law wouldn't make things difficult for him, and even more that she wouldn't beat the mandarin ducks apart. Then he'd be able to marry his wife smoothly.
So after the wedding ended, Jiang Muye drove Leng Ruoli back.
Leng Ruoli looked at the buildings outside the window, bewildered. "This doesn't seem to be the road back to the villa."
Jiang Muye nodded straight away. "Right, it's definitely not the road back to the villa."
"Then where are you taking me now?" Leng Ruoli asked curiously.
"To buy clothes," Jiang Muye said with a grin.
Leng Ruoli's little face flushed red, a bit embarrassed. "No need, right? You've bought me so many clothes already, too many. There's no room for them all."
"I'm buying them for myself." As soon as the words left Jiang Muye's mouth, it was like a bucket of cold water. Leng Ruoli muttered, "I bought you so many clothes. Do you not like them?"
"I like them." Jiang Muye nodded.
"Then why do you still want to buy clothes?" Leng Ruoli asked.
"Isn't it because I'm going to see your mother tomorrow? I figure there's nothing formal enough in my wardrobe. Ahem, ahem, ahem, changing into a fresh outfit can't be wrong." Jiang Muye felt a bit embarrassed.
Actually, he really did care about this meeting. After all, first impressions were important, and it had a bearing on whether his and Leng Ruoli's future would go smoothly.
Only when a girl had her parents' support could things be happier.
Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye with a smile. "I think you look good in anything. You're a born clothes hanger. Super good!"
Seeing Leng Ruoli praise him, Jiang Muye's ears suddenly turned a little red. He coughed. "Even though saying this is a bit shameless, I think so too. But I'll still buy one. Mm, and I'll buy you an outfit while I'm at it."
"No need, I have plenty. I'll buy for you. You're going to see my mom, after all." Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye with a smile.
Jiang Muye insisted. "No, I'll pay for my own."
"Then I'll buy you milk tea?" Leng Ruoli said with a beaming smile.
"Alright, that works. I'll pay the big money, you pay the small money." That was how a relationship stayed balanced.
Jiang Muye took Leng Ruoli to the mall. After entering a brand-name store, Jiang Muye got a bit fidgety. He'd said he wasn't nervous about meeting his mother-in-law, but his palms were still sweating.
"What kind of guy does your mom like?" Jiang Muye asked. "Does she want me to dress more flashy, or more casual? A suit, or casual wear?"
Jiang Muye picked out several pieces of clothing, and now he had a case of choice paralysis.
Leng Ruoli smiled at Jiang Muye. "Anything's fine. Just go wearing clothes. As long as you don't go shirtless and scare her, that's enough."
After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Muye knew she was teasing him. Without thinking, he leaned by her ear and said playfully, "You think just any woman gets to see this whenever she wants? It's for you only. Cherish it."
Leng Ruoli's ears were pink and tender, and she felt terribly embarrassed.
She began seriously analyzing the clothes for Jiang Muye, and by the end even she was torn. "You really do suit anything. Which one's better? Forget it, let's just buy them all!"
"Miss Leng really is rich and generous, actually wanting to buy them all. That's a bit too lavish." Jiang Muye chuckled.
"Of course. I'm never stingy with my boyfriend." Leng Ruoli's face glowed, and she was a little smug.
Jiang Muye reached out and pinched her cheek. "Alright, I know. Then I think I'll go with this light gray casual shirt. It matches you better."
"Okay." Leng Ruoli pushed Jiang Muye into the fitting room.
When Jiang Muye came out, Leng Ruoli's eyes lit up. She went up and started buttoning the top buttons he'd left undone, instructing him, "Mind your image. You're a man with a girlfriend now."
Seeing Leng Ruoli's little gesture, Jiang Muye burst out laughing. "Alright, I know."
He looked in the mirror and felt something was still missing.
"Should I change into another one?" Jiang Muye asked Leng Ruoli.
Seeing Jiang Muye doubting himself, Leng Ruoli shook her head. "No. This is super handsome. I really don't think you should cater to my mom's tastes. Honestly, I don't even know what my mom likes. She's just unpredictable."
Leng Ruoli patted Jiang Muye's back, gave his lower back a light pinch, and said with a big smile, "As long as I like it."
Jiang Muye suddenly caught Leng Ruoli's mischievous hand. Her little moves made his heart itch.
"Then do you like it?"
Leng Ruoli stood on her tiptoes and answered with a smile by Jiang Muye's ear, "I like it. Like it a lot. Also, my period ended today."
Jiang Muye's heart pounded.
A moment later, he grabbed Leng Ruoli's hand and went to pay, not hesitating for a second.
"What are you in such a hurry for? Weren't you still going to pick out more clothes?" Leng Ruoli was bewildered.
He was a completely different person from the Jiang Muye who'd been agonizing back and forth just now.
Jiang Muye's lips curved up as he said to Leng Ruoli, "There's no need. Clothes are fine just thrown on. Anyway, I'm a clothes hanger, everything suits me. What I need to do now is to keep you liking me…"
Such a great night, how could he give it up?
Why buy clothes? They were going to come off soon anyway. Might as well make a mess of it.
