Chapter 1567: You Are Muddled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Yuan was obedient and drank the milk. He started to make use of his injury to gain sympathy, and he made himself look like he was in a lot of pain. He laid in his blanket and only revealed one side of his face and a wet eye.
The heart of Mu Yuan’s mom was softened.
Poor son.
“Why do you want your cell phone? Your dad has applied for leave for you. You also don’t have any tasks. Stay at home obediently and recuperate.”
Mu Yuan thought that he and Jack would usually not have very explicit chats. After all, they were cell phones. If they had committed something, their cell phones had to be checked. Hence, they practically did not leave any information. It was mostly phone calls and videos, so he felt more at ease. It was just that there were quite a number of Jack’s photographs in his cell phone’s album. It was fortunate that technology was advanced now. Without the password, his dad could not see the photographs.
Right, he cannot see them. He cannot see them.
Mu Yuan’s mom was about to say something but stopped. Mu Yuan also felt great pain in his heart. She said, “Xiaoyuan, you are not young anymore. Mom has a friend whose daughter is coming back after graduating in France this year. She is very good-looking and is highly educated. She is also obedient, and her family background is very clean. Do you want to meet her?”
“...” Mu Yuan was astonished.
He was only 23 and was being forced to go on a blind date?
What the heck?
“No!”
“Don’t be willful,” Mu Yuan’s mom said. She kept feeling a prick in her heart. The image on that day circulated in her mind, and she kept feeling that something was going to happen. Moreover, it would be a very scary matter. Before it happened, she had to stop it.
She had to fight hard with her life to stop it.
“Mom!”
“Be obedient. We also know the other party’s background very well. We like... ”
“What blind date? What about knowing their background very well? What’s the point of you all liking her? Is she going to live with you all? Right, I am in the military all year round, and my family cannot follow me. She indeed cannot live with me. Then, you all can go happily. Why ask me?” Mu Yuan pulled his blanket and covered his face. He was so angry that he kicked twice. He curled himself up in his blanket.
Mu Yuan’s mom said, “What silly words are you saying? Anyway, you have to meet her even if you don’t want to. She is a pretty girl and is knowledgeable. What’s there to be unsatisfied with?”
“Mom, it’s too late,” Mu Yuan said dully. If he had not gone to the West Point Military School when he was 16 years old, his life would be different. But he had gone and also met a person he could not forget.
He did not want to think of the future. He only wanted to live in the present.
“Xiaoyuan!” The voice of Mu Yuan’s mom changed. Mu Yuan lifted his blanket off. Should he tell Mom clearly? But if he said clearly, it would definitely hurt Mom’s heart. He was the only son. His parents had placed their hopes on him.
“Mom, you are only 45 years old this year.” Mu Yuan straightened his face. “The country has lifted the second-child policy. There are also not many officers who want to obey the country’s policies. You should give birth to another brother again.”
“...” Mu Yuan’s mom was dumbstruck.
She could not help herself from raising her hand and hitting him. Mu Yuan was in so much pain that he frowned.
“Is the beating not enough for you, child?”
“Mom, I am serious,” Mu Yuan said. “Give birth to another one. It’s not too late.”
“Keep quiet.”
Mu Yuan shut his mouth silently. He wanted to say something but paused. He controlled himself. “I like... ”
Both their gazes met. The eyes of Mu Yuan’s Mom were filled with tiredness and pain. Mu Yuan could not say anything within a short period. “I like a life of freedom without any restraints. At least in relationships, I follow my heart. Mom, I am a celibatarian. I don’t plan to get married in my whole life. You should give up.”
“You are muddled,” Mu Yuan’s mom said.
