I Became the Mother of His Child-Chapter 521: The Answer is Very Calm
"No," Song Chengguang answered calmly.
Hao Xingxing felt that the moment she heard this sentence, her breathing became smooth all at once, and it took a long while before she dared to secretly catch her breath. However, it was clearly a mistake for Hao Xingxing to feel relieved too soon, as the presence of Hao Yueliang, this unpredictable child, meant she shouldn't have celebrated too early—because the next moment, Hao Yueliang would throw out another question that was embarrassing and difficult, yet also tense and exciting.
"So, Chengguang, what do you think of my sister? Would you two make a good couple? My sister is beautiful, independent, pretty, a strong woman, and you're handsome and similarly aged; you two would be so suitable together!" Hao Yueliang asked joyfully, her eyes truly filled with anticipation, introducing them like a matchmaker—all praises.
Make a couple? Song Chengguang was momentarily entangled in thought, his otherwise cold expression revealing a bit of surprise and stiffness, perhaps because of Hao Yueliang's sudden question. Still, he had to admit, it was surprising for the young girl to make such a suggestion, to the extent that he was somewhat at a loss for words.
After all, the little girl wasn't joking, and Hao Xingxing was sitting right beside him, so he naturally needed to carefully consider his words.
Hao Yueliang's sudden introduction and matchmaking left Hao Xingxing dumbfounded for a moment too. After a while, amidst the awkward atmosphere, she finally opened her lips, which were tinted red, to break the deadlock, "Hao Yueliang, stop fooling around." Saying this, she looked at Song Chengguang apologetically, "She's just being silly! Don't take it seriously, just listen with one ear." Hao Xingxing said, tasting the bitterness herself.
Honestly, she too was eager to hear Song Chengguang's response, but the sudden silence and awkwardness in the car made her feel very timid. She was a very timid and meek person; at that moment, she even dared not listen to Song Chengguang's reply, afraid it might be a rejection.
"Sis, I'm not fooling around! I am serious, okay?" Hao Yueliang pouted in defense, truly asking with all her sincerity, how could her face look like she was joking at all! She was clearly unhappy as she sulked.
"It's okay, I actually think it's quite good," Song Chengguang, having pondered, slowly curved his lips but spoke somewhat ambiguously.
I actually think it's quite good? What did that mean? Hao Xingxing froze again, her lips, poised to respond, stiffened in place, seemingly trying hard to digest the words Song Chengguang had just spoken—confused and puzzled, her eyes fixed on him, full of inquiry.
Hao Yueliang too was baffled for a while, then suddenly perked up with excitement, "Chengguang, are you saying you and my sister would make a good pair? Right? Right!" Hao Yueliang said with sparkling eyes, her voice raising by several octaves—she was truly excited! The prospect of personally matchmaking her own sister really made her nervous!
"…" Hao Xingxing was completely bewildered.
"Yes!" Song Chengguang this time spoke without hesitation or ambiguity, giving a definite answer, though he seemed quite relaxed while admitting it, further causing Hao Xingxing's mind to short-circuit.
"Sis, did you hear that? Chengguang said yes, did you hear that!" Hao Yueliang ecstatically spoke, then pushed Hao Xingxing's shoulder, with an expression that begged for her sister's reaction.
Hao Xingxing was reminded by Hao Yueliang and came back to her senses after a moment, then actually calmed down, looking at Song Chengguang with eyes filled with wisdom and the unique intelligence of a modern woman, "Are you being serious?"
Hao Xingxing felt that both she and Song Chengguang were now adults, as a man and woman in their thirties, the male Song Chengguang might have many more advantages than her, and a woman in her thirties was actually beginning to depreciate. She even found the number of her suitors gradually decreasing, so she took relationships very seriously, because she could not afford to joke around, nor did she have much time to cultivate a relationship. If Song Chengguang were serious, then she wouldn't oppose giving it a try to see how things could work out between them.
"Mm! I'm serious." Song Chengguang didn't drag his feet, turned his head to glance at Hao Xingxing, and then responded.
"..." Hao Yueliang crossed her arms, revealing starry eyes.
"..." Hao Xingxing kept silent, and the car became quiet for several seconds because of Song Chengguang's reply.
"Let's get out! I'll first take you to have a meal," Song Chengguang said, pursing his thin lips into a smile, then with a click, he unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at Hao Xingxing, the relaxed demeanor in stark contrast to the excitement and naiveté of Hao Xingxing and Hao Yueliang.
"..." But both Hao Xingxing and Hao Yueliang obediently nodded, then quietly got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.
It stayed quiet right up to the dining room of the restaurant, where the food had already been ordered, and the three of them still remained silent. Hao Xingxing sat in a daze for a long time, seemingly deep in thought, while Hao Yueliang, due to the atmosphere, dared not speak or even make a sound, only quietly sitting, her eyes darting back and forth between Song Chengguang and Hao Xingxing, not understanding the reason for their sudden silence. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
After all, wasn't it a very good thing that Brother Song Chengguang seriously wanted to be with her sister? Why had it made her so uneasy that she dare not speak or even breathe comfortably? It was suffocating!
"Let's talk," suddenly, the quiet room was pierced by Hao Xingxing's voice, clear and efficient, carrying a kind of presence. Although the development of events was too rapid, Hao Xingxing was not a naive girl who understood nothing. Facing this situation, it was necessary to be honest and open.
"Okay," Song Chengguang nodded in agreement.
He had been intending to do this as well, otherwise it just wasn't a solution to keep going like this.
"Then... Sister, I'll go to the restroom." At this moment, Hao Yueliang felt it astute, using the excuse of going to the toilet as a ploy to give space to the two, considering herself a model for a new generation of matchmakers! Thinking this, Hao Yueliang quickly moved, then pitter-pattered out of the room, the door closing behind her as she immediately started eavesdropping with her ear pressed against it.
She was willing to make space for the two because she felt the atmosphere between them was somewhat peculiar, especially since these two strong-willed individuals seemed to be engaged in a mental chess match, akin to those ancient experts competing in willpower duels, who had unknowably engaged in three hundred rounds of battle while she, the clueless trap, stood blankly in the middle, entirely unaware of what these two were concocting, indeed even she couldn't bear to see herself in such a situation.
