Chapter 1728

"Got it, Mom!"

Ximen Wudi obediently nodded in agreement.

……

Seeing this, Lin Mu smiled with satisfaction, and only then did she leave the house with Lin Fu.

"Ximen Wudi, you little girl!"

After Lin Mu left, Lin Fu looked at Ximen Wudi helplessly and said.

"Hehe! Little Auntie's just worried about me!"

Ximen Wudi grinned and looped her arm through Lin Fu's.

"Regardless, you still need to restrain yourself a bit. Don't go making my daughter-in-law's belly hurt again like last time!"

"……"

Lin Fu's face darkened, and he said: "Wife, what are you saying? Momo's belly is carrying my Sun Zi—how could I bear to bully her?"

Hearing this, Lin Mu glared at Lin Fu.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Momo's still far from being pregnant. Besides, she's still very slim right now—where does she look like she's carrying a child?"

"This… I don't really understand either."

Lin Fu scratched his head and said.

"Hmph, if you don't understand, then shut up!"

Lin Mu snorted lightly and said.

"Alright, alright, alright, I won't say any more!"

Lin Fu wore a pleading expression.

Seeing this, Lin Mu shook her head helplessly, and only then turned and left.

Seeing the two leave, Ximen Wudi put away her smile, frowned instead, and said: "Little Uncle, how are you planning to handle this matter?"

"This matter—you still shouldn't interfere."

"No way. Little Auntie is my friend, I have to help her. Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll be wronged."

Ximen Wudi objected firmly.

"Sigh! This kind of thing isn't suitable for you. A young child like you should just focus on your studies. As for other matters, you shouldn't bother with them."

Lin Fu sighed, shook his head, and said.

"But…"

"No more 'buts'! Do you know what Little Auntie does for a living? Don't you want to know?"

"Hmm? What does she do for a living?"

"Your Little Auntie is studying abroad, she's a music teacher at a private college. All these years, your Little Uncle has never married or had children. Every three or four years, your Little Auntie goes to France to keep your grandfather and me, and your Little Uncle company! Your grandfather's and my illness—both are because of Little Auntie. We hope the two of you can be together properly, but this kind of thing, we have no way to handle either. So, Momo, you should let this matter go! Don't interfere in this matter."

"……Oh, I understand!"

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I'll bring my brother back as soon as possible. When that time comes, they can be reunited."

"Mm."

Lin Fu smiled upon hearing this.

……

At dinnertime, Ximen Wudi and Little Auntie sat at the same table eating.

At the dinner table, Ximen Wudi asked about Little Uncle's recent situation, but Lin Mu answered by skirting around the important points.

"Your Little Uncle is studying abroad, his studies are busy. Once he graduates, you can call him back to play together!"

"How wonderful!"

"Momo, you should hurry up and get married too!"

Lin Mu suddenly spoke up and said: "Before, we had too many concerns. Now that I think about it, we really should give the child a complete family. Don't let some outside factors affect your own future, understand?"

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi nodded and said: "Mm! I understand! Thank you for the reminder, Little Auntie! From now on, I'll definitely work hard!"

"If you can think this way, that's for the best!"

Lin Mu smiled and said.

……

"Little Uncle, have you considered what Little Auntie said?"

Halfway through dinner, Ximen Wudi suddenly turned to Lin Fu, who was eating with his head lowered beside her, and asked.

"Consider what?"

Lin Fu raised his eyes and asked.

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi paused and said: "Little Uncle, do you like Little Auntie?"

Lin Fu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ximen Wudi, and said: "Why are you suddenly asking this kind of question?"

"I… I just feel that Little Uncle and Little Auntie are quite a good match, so I want to play matchmaker and get you two together."

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Ximen Wudi's words fell, Lin Fu choked on his food.

Lin Mu also showed an awkward expression.

"Momo, you little girl, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Lin Mu hurriedly spoke up to scold her.

Ximen Wudi pouted and said: "I'm not talking nonsense. I really do think Little Uncle and Little Auntie are quite a good match. If Little Auntie doesn't mind Little Uncle, I'd actually be willing to play matchmaker for you two!"

"This…"

Lin Mu looked toward Ximen Wudi, hesitating to speak.

"How about it? Little Auntie, my idea isn't bad, right? I'm sure Little Auntie will definitely like it!"

"…"

Hearing those words, Lin Mu was instantly speechless.

How should she answer?

"Momo, that's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"I…"

Lin Mu opened her mouth, looking at Ximen Wudi with a troubled expression—she truly didn't know how to answer.

"I think your Little Uncle and Little Auntie aren't a good match. We should just separate them!"

At this moment, Lin Fu, who had been sitting nearby, spoke up.

"Little Uncle, you don't like Little Auntie?"

"This…"

Lin Fu hesitated, but finally said, "Your Little Uncle and I haven't known Little Auntie for long, so I still hope your Little Uncle will be happy."

"But Little Uncle and Little Auntie are truly in love."

"Momo, what we're doing isn't forcing Little Auntie to marry into our Lin family. We just feel she isn't worthy of our household!"

"…"

Hearing her own Little Uncle's words, Ximen Wudi couldn't help feeling a surge of frustration.

What kind of logic is this?

Does Little Uncle mean he looks down on Little Auntie's background?

"Little Uncle, you really don't like Little Auntie?"

Ximen Wudi spoke again, asking.

"I don't like her!"

Lin Fu said without the slightest hesitation, and his words sent a chill through Ximen Wudi's heart.

"Why don't you like her?"
