Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Cough cough cough..."

Si Jinyi was drinking soup and almost choked to death.

Zhuang Hongye was almost choked to death by the duck head.

The two of them stared at each other and said in unison: "We won't get married for now, we still need to get used to each other for a while!"

"You've been getting along for a year now, and you've learned everything you need to know. What else is there to get along with? Your dad and I were arranged by the organization at the time. We got married after meeting once, and we've been together for a lifetime."

Si's mother thought the two were shy, so she used herself as an example and said, "Marriage needs mystery. If the adjustment period is too long, you will know what the other person is going to fart, and there will be no mystery at all. The marriage will be meaningless. When I married your father, I didn't know anything about him. I felt new and fresh every day, just like finding a treasure. It was so interesting, and I spent my whole life without realizing it."

"Mom, now is different from your time!"

Si Jinyi glanced at Zhuang Hongye guiltily.

This fucking operation was completely beyond his expectations. How is this going to end?

"What's different? People nowadays don't need to get married? You are dating and have been dating for a year, right?"

Mother Si glared at her son fiercely, but when she looked at Zhuang Hongye, her face was full of smiles with a kind look in her eyes.

"Correct!"

Si Jinyi and Zhuang Hongye hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.

"You've been dating for a year and know each other well, why don't you get married? Jinyi, are you trying to be a hooligan?"

Si's mother's face changed, she raised her hand and slapped Si Jinyi hard on the head.

"Ah...Mom, why did you hit me?"

Si Jinyi grimaced in pain and felt extremely aggrieved. He felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.

"I'm going to hit you. You've been dating Hongye for a year, and you even brought her home for the New Year, but you didn't marry her. Aren't you a hooligan? If you keep talking nonsense, let your father teach you a lesson!"

Mother Si slapped him a few more times and said to Zhuang Hongye, "Don't be afraid, Hongye. I'll support you. If this boy dares to betray you, I'll beat him to death!"

Zhuang Hongye twitched his lips, and for the first time he felt that he was in a difficult situation.

If she tells the truth now, will Si Jinyi be beaten to death by his mother?

Si Jinyi and she made eye contact in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and both of them strangely understood each other's meaning.

"Can I tell the truth?" Zhuang Hongye asked.

"If you dare to say it, I will go to your parents' grave and confess!" Si Jinyi threatened with gritted teeth.

If his mother knew the truth, she would definitely beat him to death.

Zhuang Hongye gritted her teeth. She was also afraid that her parents, brothers and sisters would know the truth and the Taoist priest would come to her dreams to chant sutras every day.

Mother Si was very pleased to see the two of them exchange glances. She slapped Si Jinyi hard on the butt and announced, "Don't worry about the banquet. Go back to Shanghai tomorrow and come back on the 15th day of the first lunar month. I have sent out the invitations. If the bride and groom are not here on the 16th day of the first lunar month, don't blame me for being rude!"

The last sentence was said by Si's mother to Si Jinyi, with murderous eyes.

In Si's mother's mind, Zhuang Hongye is well-behaved and sensible, a good girl. She definitely has no objection to Sixteen's wedding banquet, and it's all her son's fault.

An hour later, the two sneaked out and found a secluded place to chat.

"I only agreed to help you act, not to marry you. I will return to Shanghai tomorrow. You can do whatever you want." Zhuang Hongye said gritting her teeth.

"How could I have known it would turn out like this? My mother has a bad heart and cannot stand any stimulation."

Si Jinyi was so confused that his head was spinning. The development of this matter had completely deviated from his budget and he didn't know what to do.

"Does your mother really have a heart disease?"

Zhuang Hongye looked suspicious. She now had no trust in this guy at all.

"It's absolutely true. Can I joke with my mother? If you don't believe me, ask Xia Qingqing!"

Si Jinyi swore an oath.

Zhuang Hongye glared at him fiercely and went to Xia Qingqing to discuss countermeasures.

Xia Qingqing curled up on the sofa, eating pine nuts peeled by Shen Qiubai and Xiaoyu, with the obedient Xuetuan in her arms. Her happy life made her not want to go back to Shanghai.

"The Si family's invitations have been sent out. The whole capital knows that you and Si Jinyi will hold a wedding on the 16th day of the first lunar month. If you back out now, what will the Si family do?"

Xia Qingqing said this deliberately because she could see that Zhuang Hongye didn't actually hate Si Jinyi, and similarly, Si Jinyi was also interested in her.

Otherwise, there is no way these two people would pretend to be a couple. If they really hated each other, even acting would be disgusting.

"I just don't know what to do, so I came to you for help!"

Zhuang Hongye was so worried that she pulled out a handful of hair. She despised herself for being so indecisive.

If it were in the past, she would definitely leave without saying a word, not caring whether the Si family would be embarrassed or not, let alone worrying about whether Si Jinyi's mother could withstand the shock.

But now she is wavering. She is worried about the Si family being embarrassed and Si Jinyi's mother getting sick. She is afraid of everything. This is not like her at all.

"Hongye, you are normal now. You used to shut yourself off. You seemed strong, but you were not happy. Now you are much more lively than before, and you smile more often. I like you now!"

Xia Qingqing saw through her heart and tried to persuade her patiently.

In the past, Zhuang Hongye was a lone ranger in the night. She armed herself with a cold appearance and looked very powerful, but she was not happy and even longed for death.

Zhuang Hongye is now warmer. She is no longer cold and indifferent. She will not quarrel or argue with others. There are people and things that she cares about in her heart. It seems that she has more constraints, but she is happy.

Zhuang Hongye was silent for a long time, then she asked, "Am I very indecisive now?"

"Of course not, you just have something you care about, so you think more about the problem. People have seven emotions and six desires, and it is normal for you to be like this now." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

"We'll talk about this later. First, help me figure out how to avoid the 16th day of the first lunar month."

Zhuang Hongye was almost worried to death and pulled out another handful of hair.

"Sixteen will definitely not be able to escape, unless you want to embarrass the Si family and want to make Aunt Si sick out of frustration." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

In fact, Si's mother didn't have a heart disease at all, she just had a little arrhythmia, but she always brought it up. Over time, the men in the Si family thought she really had a heart disease and were afraid to provoke her.

Xia Qingqing heard from Cheng Yueyun that her mother-in-law was happy to see the men of the Si family suffer losses, so she didn't say a word for decades.

Since Zhuang Hongye was hesitant, she gave him a push.

It's not that she is meddling, but when Zhuang Hongye and Si Jinyi are together, the expressions on their faces are the most varied, which shows that there is a strong chemical reaction between the two of them, and now she is urgently needed to give them a push and act as a reactant, which will definitely have unexpected results.

Zhuang Hongye fell silent again. She really couldn't bear to see Si's mother fall ill.

These days at Si's house, Si's mother took great care of her and made her feel the warmth of a mother. She was so happy that sometimes she even wanted to make her fake love with Si Jinyi real, which seemed like a good idea.

But she is still rational. Si's mother is Si Jinyi's mother, not her mother.

The next day, Zhuang Hongye and Si Jinyi returned to Shanghai. Si's mother prepared nine roast ducks for Zhuang Hongye to take back and eat.

"I've calculated it. It's just one a day. After I finish eating, I'll go back to the capital and continue eating."

Mrs. Si smiled very lovingly. She pulled Zhuang Hongye's scarf and gently touched her face.

Zhuang Hongye's eyes felt a little sore, and she used a lot of effort to control her tears.

When she was a child, her mother pulled the scarf for her in the same way. Every time after pulling the scarf, her mother would touch her face. At that moment just now, she seemed to see her mother and almost screamed out.

"Good boy, from now on you will have plenty of roast duck. If you want to eat it, just call me and I will send it to you!"

Mother Si had a look of pity in her eyes. She and Xia Qingqing had inquired about Zhuang Hongye's life experience and knew that she was a child with a miserable life but a strong character. She would have to treat this child well in the future.

"Well, I'm leaving."

Zhuang Hongye hugged Si's mother, and when she turned around, her eyes were red and tears were on her eyelashes.

Si Jinyi glanced at her, and after getting in the car, he joked, "You've developed feelings for my mother, are you reluctant to let her go?"

Zhuang Hongye ignored him and turned her head to look at Si Jinyi's parents outside the window.

Si Jinyi was so annoyed that he touched his nose awkwardly, then said inexplicably: "If you are so reluctant, why don't you just marry me, and my mother will be your mother from now on!"
