Chapter 901

Shen Manting was unhappy . She stamped her foot behind his back, snorted, and then stormed out .

Ou Ming came to the table and sat down . Shen Manting saw him sitting in front of Qiao Ziqing . She glanced at them and walked in their direction .

When she came to Mother Ou, Shen Manting gave her a clever smile and said softly, “Aunt, let me help you with your rice . You need to eat more . ”

Qiao Ziqing looked at Shen Manting, her daughter-in-law . The more she looked at her, the more she loved her . She nodded to Shen Manting and said, “Okay . ”

Mother Ou’s affirmation made Shen Manting smile triumphantly, and she looked at Ou Ming to see if he had noticed .

Ou Ming, acting as if he hadn’t seen anything, took the meal handed to him by the servant and began eating in silence .

At this time, Qiao Ziqing was somewhat disappointed in Ou Ming and shouted, “Xiao Ou, you shouldn’t be caring for your own stomach! You should be taking care of Manting!”

Ou Ming listened to his mother’s advice . He grabbed a bunch of vegetables with his chopsticks and put them in Shen Manting’s bowl . He returned to his meal without a word .

Ou Ming’s actions toward Shen Manting were very fast and showed his indifference to her . When Shen Manting noticed this, she smiled with some complacency . No one noticed her smile, as it was not obvious and very difficult to detect .

Qiao Ziqing stared at her son angrily and said, “Look at you, how can you treat girls so rudely? It’s not chivalrous at all . Fortunately, Manting is generous to you . You need to drive Manting home after dinner . Is that clear?”

Ou Ming was impatient . When he saw the seriousness and expectation on his mother’s face, he couldn’t bear to refuse and said, “Yes, Mother . ”

Shen Manting hid a smile by bowing her head to eat .

What I did was right . It is the right thing for me to please Mother Ou if I want to control Ou Ming . I am the only one that can be his wife!

I don’t believe that my station and wealth are treated no better than a mistress who has nothing at all .

Hearing Ou Ming’s response, Qiao Ziqing was satisfied and forgave him for his rude behavior . Qiao Ziqing passed Shen Manting a dish and asked, “Are you satisfied with your stay at Xiao Ou’s house?”

“Very well, thank you . Ou Ming’s home is very comfortable, and he’s very kind to me,” said Shen Manting with a smile . “Aunt, today I’m actually here to discuss the wedding date . After all, we’re not young anymore . I’ll be 27 years old this year . In the past, my grandmother sent me to a fortune teller . This fortune teller said that I had to get married this year, otherwise it would be bad luck . ”

Ou Ming sneered at her words and answered disdainfully, “How long has it been since you heard that? Do you still believe it? So silly! Fortune telling is a debased art surrounded by superstition . ”

“Fortune telling is more credible than non-credible . ” Shen Manting looked at Ou Ming with a serious face . “The fortune teller has also said that our lives complement each other . It’ll be better for us to get married this year,” Shen Manting answered with a threatening look .

Ou Ming continued to eat his meal with deep eyes and a serious expression .

Shen Manting spoke about the fortune teller with confidence because she thought that Mother Ou must rely on Shen Luo’an’s medicine to maintain her life . What Shen Manting didn’t know was that Ou Ming had begun to study the causes of his mother’s illness two years ago . She also didn’t know that he had been trying to develop Shen Luo’an’s secret prescription for the medicine Mother Ou desperately needed .

Once I succeed, I will no longer need to maintain this relationship with Shen Manting . She is such a disgusting woman .

When the time comes, I will be able to break up with Shen Manting and marry the person I really like . Before then, I cannot afford to gamble .

Hearing Shen Manting’s proposal, Ou Ming raised his eyes and said without expression, “It’s November, and this year will be over in a month . Isn’t it a little too late?”

“No, we just need to get our marriage certificate first . There are other procedures for the wedding, but everything will be fine as long as they are finished before the end of the year,” said Shen Manting, smiling . She turned to Qiao Ziqing . “It will be my grandmother’s eightieth birthday at the end of the year . It will be a double blessing if we have the wedding then too . What do you think of my proposal, Aunt?”
