Chapter 464: A Perverted Hobby

"At first I thought that if it was a man, I'd just let it go. My daughter likes you, and it's not like you're the only choice. But now I can't find anyone else as unique as you. I want there to be a result now, something that can change the current situation."

Jiang Muye: "!!!"

This is a wolf of a woman!

You have such a perverted hobby! No wonder Leng Ruoli was so nervous when she mentioned you.

Jiang Muye had already prepared himself for his mother-in-law not liking him, but he hadn't prepared himself for his mother-in-law liking him way too much!

Life was really too hard! He just wanted to get married, so how had he run into the hardest level in the world!

"Auntie, I will never fall for you. No matter how much you like me, it's useless. I only like Leng Ruoli, and I'm still going to marry her."

Right at that moment, the elevator opened, and Jiang Muye resolutely walked out.

"People's minds can change." Xiang Shan walked out, opened the car door, and spoke to Jiang Muye with profound meaning. As she got in and put on her sunglasses, a crisp voice came from outside.

"That's a line I should be saying to you. I like challenges too, and I will absolutely make you agree to me and Leng Ruoli being together."

Xiang Shan stared in astonishment at Jiang Muye, whose gaze was ice-cold outside. He was backlit, his whole body shimmering, the very picture of arrogance.

Jiang Muye turned around and re-entered the dental hospital without a second thought, where he happened to run into Leng Ruoli.

Xiang Shan bit her lip, looking thoughtfully, then drove off.

When Leng Ruoli saw that Jiang Muye was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, phew, phew, you didn't get hit, did you?"

Seeing Leng Ruoli anxiously caressing his face, looking so nervous, Jiang Muye immediately soothed her emotions. "I'm fine. She won't hit me."

"What happened?" Leng Ruoli asked in confusion.

Jiang Muye placed both hands on Leng Ruoli's shoulders and said, "You can't get too excited about what I'm about to tell you."

Leng Ruoli nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli and said, "Your mom likes me."

Leng Ruoli burst out laughing. "As expected of my fiancé, getting my mom to like you so quickly. I was worried before that you two wouldn't get along, but…" Leng Ruoli sensed something was off and her smile faded. "Then why is my mom against our marriage?"

No matter how she thought about it, it didn't make sense.

Jiang Muye said gloomily, "I mean she likes me as a man likes a woman. Your mom wants me to be your stepfather."

Leng Ruoli: "…"

She suspected she had misheard.

This was way too criminal!

After Jiang Muye explained the whole story to Leng Ruoli, she sighed. "How could something so outrageous happen."

"I'm helpless too," Jiang Muye shrugged. "A one-in-ten-thousand chance and I ran into it. Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place."

"Aren't I now love rivals with my mom? One is my fiancé, the other is my own mother. I'm a sandwich cookie squeezed in the middle!" Leng Ruoli suddenly felt that the situation was way too thorny.

She had no idea what to do at all.

"Right now we can only try to persuade your mom to accept me as her son-in-law," Jiang Muye analyzed calmly.

Leng Ruoli thought for a moment, then something occurred to her. "Let's go find her right now and explain everything."

Just as Leng Ruoli was about to leave, Jiang Muye grabbed her.

"Have you thought of how to persuade her?" Jiang Muye held onto Leng Ruoli. "Otherwise it's just wasted effort."

"Yeah, this isn't easy to resolve." Leng Ruoli was caught between laughter and tears.

This time the love rival wasn't one of those little girls who could be dealt with casually. This time she had to face her own mom!

Her mom was very strong-willed by nature, and once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't easily change it.

Especially now that her mom really liked Jiang Muye. Never mind whether she'd keep pursuing him, just the fact that she opposed Leng Ruoli being with him was fatal.

"No matter what, I can't give you up." Leng Ruoli stepped forward and directly hugged Jiang Muye's waist.

Seeing Leng Ruoli clinging to him, Jiang Muye instinctively kissed her cheek and said, "I couldn't agree more."

They had been through so much already, and had finally struggled to the point of getting married. Now that this hitch had appeared, how could they retreat?

"How about we try this method." Leng Ruoli blinked at Jiang Muye, suddenly giving him a clever smile. Jiang Muye leaned down to listen, and when he heard her words, his eyes lit up. "I think we can give this method a try."

Leng Ruoli gave a charming smile, laced her fingers with Jiang Muye's, and kissed them by her lips. "It's just that you might have to suffer a bit. My mom has a bad temper, so don't take it to heart. I'll make it up to you properly afterward."

"It's fine, as long as we can get married. This is us working for our future, so of course I'm willing."

After the two of them formulated their plan, they began to carry it out.

That evening, at Xiang Shan's villa.

Xiang Shan was in a video conference, and on the other side of the screen were executives from her overseas studio.

She began pointing out problems with composure, hitting the nail on the head, and promptly resolving the issues that needed handling.

But the matters were too numerous and chaotic, leaving Xiang Shan utterly exhausted.

After hanging up the video call, she rubbed her temples wearily.

"Knock, knock, knock." A knock came at the door.

"Come in," Xiang Shan said coolly.

The butler walked in from outside and spoke to Xiang Shan with great reverence. "Madam, the young lady is back and is waiting for you downstairs."

Thinking about her complicated relationship with her daughter, Xiang Shan felt a headache coming on.

But what had to come would come. Even if she was unwilling, she had to face it.

"Alright, I'll go down." Xiang Shan closed her laptop and left the study.

As she descended along the curving elevator, she saw Leng Ruoli and Jiang Muye sitting on the sofa, laughing and chatting.

Jiang Muye whispered something in Leng Ruoli's ear, and her skin flushed red.

"You're so annoying~" Leng Ruoli shyly pushed Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye fell onto the sofa, laughing carelessly, then pulled Leng Ruoli back into his arms. They were clearly inseparable, the very picture of a couple deep in the throes of love.

To Xiang Shan, this scene was a bit jarring.

Her own daughter was much more cheerful than before, which was a good thing.

But she didn't like the person who made her daughter so cheerful, because that person was the one she had feelings for.

Especially since Jiang Muye, who was always cold and distant with her, was now all lovey-dovey with her daughter, as if she had become invisible and couldn't fit in at all.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Xiang Shan coughed.

The two who had been flirting quickly looked at Xiang Shan coming down the stairs.

But the two of them didn't seem to restrain themselves. Jiang Muye's hand was still brazenly placed on Leng Ruoli's waist, and Leng Ruoli was leaning into Jiang Muye's embrace with an intimate posture.

"Mom," Leng Ruoli called out.

Jiang Muye followed up after Leng Ruoli. "Greetings, Mother-in-Law."

"…" Xiang Shan had the urge to throw her high heels at him.

So everything she said during the day had been for nothing?
