Chapter 465: She Wanted to Be Jiang Muye's Girlfriend, but He Treated Her Like a Mother-in-Law

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

This time, Leng Ruoli hadn't come alone—she had actually brought Jiang Muye with her.

Jiang Muye continued to shamelessly call her "Mother-in-Law," instantly pinning that identity onto her.

She wanted to be Jiang Muye's girlfriend, but he treated her like a mother-in-law!

Hoo.

Xiang Shan evened out her breathing and gave Jiang Muye a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Don't make me sound old. I'm very young, and besides, I never agreed to you being my son-in-law."

"Sooner or later, so I've gotta get used to saying it. If you don't like 'Mother-in-Law,' I'll switch it up." Jiang Muye rolled his eyes and said, "Mom!"

That one "Mom" nearly sent Xiang Shan to her grave.

Xiang Shan wanted to erupt into a silent storm of profanity. Her hand really was about to grab her high heel and hurl it at him.

"Just call me Sister Shan," Xiang Shan said coolly.

Leng Ruoli muttered, "Mom, you're so much older than him, you could've given birth to him! Him calling you Sister Shan doesn't fit."

Xiang Shan felt like she'd been mortally wounded.

She really was about to bend down and grab her high heel!

This was beyond tolerable!

Jiang Muye was holding back laughter and gently pinched Leng Ruoli's waist.

The two of them had originally come to mess with Xiang Shan, but he'd never imagined Leng Ruoli would be this sharp-tongued—even better at wounding people than he was.

What a Leng Little Knife, sparing no one with that mouth of hers!

Leng Ruoli shot him a reproachful look and grabbed his hand, giving it a series of gentle squeezes.

Xiang Shan was already furious inside, and watching Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli act as if she weren't even there, exchanging affectionate looks, she was force-fed a massive bowl of dog food.

She was done! Why should she eat dog food? She wanted to be single no more!

Xiang Shan had never imagined she'd end up competing with her own daughter for a man.

"What exactly did you two come here for?" Xiang Shan said unhappily.

Leng Ruoli gave Jiang Muye a sweet smile, then said to Xiang Shan, "Mom, we came to keep you company! You just got here, you don't know anyone, you must be so lonely. And tonight, I'm going to have my fiancé show off his skills for you."

Jiang Muye followed his wife's lead: "That's right, let me cook you a meal. My cooking's pretty good, I guarantee you'll like it."

"No thanks, I—" Xiang Shan had just started to say when Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly and said, "If you don't eat, Mom, I'm afraid you'll go hungry. I gave the cooking lady the day off, and takeout's forbidden here. Sure, you could go out, but I'm afraid I'd have to confiscate your credit cards—they might get frozen at the drop of a hat."

Xiang Shan: "…"

Her daughter used to be so soft and adorable, so obedient too. How could she be this scheming now?

Jiang Muye stroked Leng Ruoli's hair and said with a smile, "How can you do that?" He looked at Xiang Shan. "Mother-in-Law, don't worry. If you want to go eat, I can take you, but it can only be Shaxian Snacks—after all, this is all the secret stash I've got."

Xiang Shan: "…"

Scheming! Profiteer!

Her good daughter had been corrupted by Jiang Muye.

But she just happened to fall for this forceful side of Jiang Muye.

Xiang Shan put on an angry face, but her words had already softened: "If it doesn't taste good, I won't eat a single bite."

"Got it, Mother-in-Law, don't worry." Jiang Muye had the System—how could his food not taste good? He'd guarantee Xiang Shan's chopsticks never stopped.

"Don't call me Mother-in-Law!" Xiang Shan said through gritted teeth.

"Got it, Mom."

"…Get going!" Xiang Shan practically roared.

"Got it, Mom."

Veins were bulging on Xiang Shan's forehead. She pinched her temples, trying hard to calm herself down.

As Jiang Muye stood up, Leng Ruoli said with a smile, "I'll be your assistant."

Leng Ruoli followed Jiang Muye like a little tail, only to be caught by Xiang Shan: "What are you going for? You don't even know how."

Leng Ruoli muttered, "Who says? I've been studying hard. I can't be a chef, but at least I can handle a few small dishes."

She smiled and asked Jiang Muye, "Right? Hurry and tell my mom!"

Leng Ruoli acted spoiled, and Jiang Muye felt his whole body go weak, as if a current of electricity were flowing through him.

Jiang Muye involuntarily started nodding: "Right, she's absolutely right."

Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly, and right in front of Xiang Shan, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jiang Muye on the cheek: "Heh heh, your reward."

"Then you've gotta kiss me on the lips." Jiang Muye grabbed Leng Ruoli's slender waist and gave her a deep French kiss.

Of course, it was quite embarrassing in front of Xiang Shan.

She was, after all, his future mother-in-law.

But as long as they weren't awkward, the one who was awkward was the mother-in-law.

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli kissed so sappily that Xiang Shan felt like grabbing a kitchen knife.

"So you two came here to shove dog food down my throat?" Xiang Shan crossed her legs and raised an eyebrow unhappily.

"We're a couple, so the happiness is unstoppable—a little hard to hold back." Jiang Muye said matter-of-factly.

Xiang Shan hadn't been wrong—he and Leng Ruoli really were deliberately feeding her dog food.

Who told Xiang Shan to come stir up trouble? Especially since the happier and closer he and Leng Ruoli were, the sooner Xiang Shan would give up, making her understand there was nothing she could do about their happiness, much less find a crack to squeeze through.

Leng Ruoli nodded straight away: "Mom, I know you're a single dog, so hurry up and find a husband. Then our whole family can go out together, and you won't need to worry about being our third wheel."

Xiang Shan just wanted to laugh at that.

She only wanted to date Jiang Muye. She couldn't settle for anyone else.

And yet her daughter kept hinting that she was a third wheel—how could that not sting Xiang Shan deeply?

"No need. If you're going to cook, hurry up and go." Xiang Shan smiled without smiling. Right now she couldn't stand this sickeningly sweet scene. It was torture.

Torture to death!

Leng Ruoli and Jiang Muye walked to the kitchen still holding hands.

Xiang Shan smiled speechlessly.

Was all this really necessary just to cook a meal?

Xiang Shan went to the kitchen to take a look, and the sweetness between them was off the charts.

"Honey, tie my apron for me!"

"Got it, hubby, no problem! Just treat this place like your own home!" Leng Ruoli giggled and tied the apron on Jiang Muye.

Xiang Shan's gaze turned resentful.

How she wished she could transmigrate her soul into her daughter right now! Ah, so infuriating—why did her daughter have to meet Jiang Muye first? If only she'd been just one step later!

"Hurry up with the cooking, I'm starving!" Xiang Shan urged with a deadpan face.

"Don't worry, it'll be done quick. Man and woman working together, the work's never tiring. With my honey here as my assistant." Jiang Muye smiled frankly.

Leng Ruoli said shyly, "You're the chef, I can't really help much."

"In that case, come out and chat with me." Xiang Shan was single-mindedly trying to keep her daughter away from Jiang Muye.

"Mom, no way, I need to cheer on my hubby here!" Leng Ruoli muttered.

"Right, I need my darling's loving hug!" In the past, Jiang Muye would never have said such sappy lines, but now he'd completely sacrificed himself, enduring goosebumps as he played along with Leng Ruoli.
