TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 114 - Engagement

Mu Jingzhe felt a warmth in his heart. “Thank you, Shao Dong, but you don't have to sleep near my feet.”

"It's okay. Your feet don't smell.” Shao Dong did not think there was anything wrong with it and did not mind at all.

Mu Jingzhe: “That's not what I mean. Hes…"

“It's okay, Mom. Sleep only.” Shao Xi, who was sleeping on top of his head, patted Mu Jingzhe on the shoulder. "If you can't sleep, will we sing a lullaby to you?"

Both Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei became excited after hearing the suggestion. Mu Jingzhe was annoyed because it reminded him of the embarrassing incident when he sang the lullaby earlier. Little Bei became excited because he wanted to sing. “I can sing, Mom.”

Forget it, if he sings a lullaby 'bombing school', it will make sleeping even harder. "It's okay, I'm sleeping right now." Mu Jingzhe instantly closed his eyes.

Shao Xi chuckled as she looked at Mu Jingzhe's expression and turned off the flashlight.

Perhaps because the children were protecting her, even though Mu Jingzhe had only pretended to sleep at first, he had actually fallen asleep afterwards.

Knowing that Mu Jingzhe was sleeping with them, the five children also fell asleep peacefully.

The atmosphere in the Shao Family was relaxed, and they all fell asleep peacefully. However, the atmosphere in the Mu Family was rather heavy and strange.

Tang Moling suddenly ran out but because he was worried that something had happened to Mu Jingzhe, it was not for any other reason. Old Madam Mu and the others did not understand why.

Although Tang Moling later came back and said that he only ran away because he had a car and thought that he could help save lives, he barely managed to get away with this explanation.

However, Mu Xue's expression did not look good, and she ignored Tang Moling. This made Old Madam Mu and the others feel that something was amiss.

Due to their previous experience, they immediately wondered if Mu Jingzhe had returned to his old ways and had come to snatch the person Mu Xue liked.

Before Old Madam Mu could speak, Tang Moling suddenly fell ill.

Since there was no evidence and Tang Moling was sick, they could only take care of him first. Mu Xue was also persuaded by Old Madam Mu and had no choice but to take care of her for now.

Tang Moling's fever lasted for half a day before subsiding after dark. After a night of rest, she felt much better the next day and also regained her mental energy.

Mu Xue, on the other hand, looked haggard. One of the reasons was because she had taken care of Tang Moling. Another reason was the matter weighing down his mind.

He couldn't forget Tang Moling's previous reaction. After seeing that Tang Moling had slightly recovered a lot, he said, “You can leave now. Never come back again.”

Mu Xue had her own pride and could not pretend to be chaotic.

Tang Moling was surprised. "Mu Xue, don't get me wrong ..."

“I don't misunderstand. I'm not blind either. I can tell." Mu Xue cut him off. “I don't want to know how you two passed. I don't want to see you now. I have no other request. I'm just hoping you won't be with him in the future. ”

Tang Moling looked at Mu Xue's haggard appearance and felt as if a knife was cutting through his heart. "It's not like that. Mu Xue, don't misunderstand me. The reason I reacted so violently was because one of my family members had been bitten by a venomous snake and died. That's why..”

He knew that he had let Mu Xue down, so Tang Moling's heart was filled with distress and regret. Therefore, he had no choice but to lie.

He really liked Mu Xue. He was very confident in this relationship. There was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that the one who should have spent his life together was Mu Xue.

He was very confident in his intentions and future with Mu Xue. However, his heart thumped when he saw Mu Jingzhe. He should not allow himself to be affected.

Now, everyone in the Great Eastern Village knew about his relationship with Mu Xue. He must be responsible.

The tears that Mu Xue had suppressed finally fell. "Thul? But why do I feel that you have been distracted recently?

“It was because of work. I've taken a lot of responsibility, so I'm distracted.”

Tang Moling wiped away Mu Xue's tears, his heart ached for her. “I didn't do a good job and I made you sad. Actually, the goal I came to this time was to discuss the engagement with you. I want to get a matchmaker to apply for a wedding. ”

Old Madam Mu had hinted twice that she should apply for marriage. He wants them to get engaged. Otherwise, there will still be some ambiguity about their relationship.

Tang Moling knew that he had to do this. There was a voice in his heart that urged him to do so, but he did not know why he had not done so yet. Now, he knew that he had to do it.

Mu Xue was stunned when she heard the words 'marriage flame'. She looked at Tang Moling, whose eyes were filled with her. "Do you want to? If you do, I'll ask someone to come ... "

Mu Xue's heart surged. "Why are you talking about this when you haven't even recovered?"

He blushed and left. Although he did not give an answer directly, his intentions were clear.

Tang Moling smiled in relief as he watched her leave. Yeah, this is what he's got to do.

Tang Moling wondered and very quickly, following the habits of the Great Eastern Village, he invited a matchmaker to propose. He sent two carriages full of engagement gifts, which were much better than what other families usually received.

Everyone knew about the relationship between Tang Moling and Mu Xue, so the villagers were not surprised.

Soon, the engagement date was set. When they look at the calendar, they realize that a good day is coming. If they missed it, they would have to wait another two months.

After Old Madam Mu waited for so long, Tang Moling finally proposed. How could he wait two months? He immediately decided on the closest date.

The engagement day had yet to arrive, but Tang Moling's gifts continued to arrive.

Engagement gifts consist of the best food and items. The Mu Family finally found out a little about Tang Moling's identity. They didn't know much, but they knew that Tang Moling would be the heir to a prosperous extended family in the future. He was so rich that they could not even count how much money he had. In the future, Mu Xue would be able to live a good life by marrying him.

Given Tang Moling's status, there were many rich young women waiting to marry him, but Tang Moling had chosen Mu Xue.

Old Madam Mu was so proud that she told the villagers everything she knew. His heart swelled with pride when he saw everyone envious.

After the engagement date was set, both Old Madam Mu and Tang Moling heaved a sigh of relief.

Because of the engagement, Mu Xue finally felt a sense of security and was no longer constantly anxious about losing Tang Moling. Just like before, he became his quiet self again. It was as if she had returned to the beginning with Tang Moling and their relationship started to sweet again.

Only in the middle of the night did Tang Moling feel a little uncomfortable and guilty, not only towards Mu Xue, but also towards Mu Jingzhe.

Even though he knew that Mu Jingzhe had not been bitten by a poisonous snake, he was still a little worried about his condition. However, he deliberately stopped himself from wondering about Mu Jingzhe's condition, fearing that he would falter again.

He did not even dare to face Mu Jingzhe and he felt extremely guilty. She did not expect Mu Jingzhe to be unaffected and even happily came to help on the engagement day. He even gave them a kettle with the word 'happiness' written on it.

"When you get married, I'll definitely give you a big gift."

Seeing Mu Jingzhe in such a state, Tang Moling heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he felt disbelief and depressed.

Mu Jingzhe clearly did not know about Tang Moling's conflicted feelings.

Although the Mu Teng and Li Zhaodi parts of the family assets had been carved out, and things had become unpleasant between Old Madam Mu and them before, they had not severed ties at all. On a big day like Mu Xue's engagement, Mu Jingzhe still had to help. He was not close to Mu Xue, but after all they were cousins, so he naturally had to leave.
