BXBX NOVEL Chapter 320 - Her Mother Thought Too Far Ahead
In the afternoon, Lu Xun had lunch with Song Xing Xing and her family. Fortunately, Song Yi and his little family stayed to eat together, and the situation was not as awkward for Lu Xun.
Song Xing Xing\'s attention once again was on Xiao Jun. The little boy saw that his Aunt Xing Xing stayed to play with him and ate a few more.
The baby\'s cheek was bulging as he tasted the porridge in his mouth. A slight frown appeared on his face when he tasted the broccoli that his mother added to the porridge. Just as he was about to spit it out, his gaze met with his Aunt Xing Xing\'s smiling face. The boy swallowed his food and smiled brightly.
"Wow! Our Xiao Jun is very good. You ate a lot of broccoli this time."
Song Xiao Jun only heard that his mother called him good and he started to laugh happily.
The elders\' attention was on the little boy and everyone wanted to tease him a little more. The baby\'s giggle filled the room, brightening the mood in the house.
After lunch, Lu Xun went back to his room to answer a few work-related calls.
Song Xing Xing went with her mother to send Song Yi and his family out as they were going to return to the main house. Fortunately, baby Xiao Jun was a little sleepy after lunch and did not cry when his parents took him away.
The mother and daughter returned to the house once they could no longer see Song Yi\'s SUV. Before Song Xing Xing could head upstairs and return to her room, her mother had already pulled her hand, dragging her to the backyard.
Song Xing Xing looked at the flowers and vegetables in the garden before she turned to look at her mother with a puzzled expression. "Mom, why are you taking me here?"
"What\'s wrong? Mom just wanted to talk to you."
"We can always talk inside," Song Xing Xing said. "Why did you drag me here?"
The wind outside was comfortable but Song Xing Xing thought that it would be more comfortable to talk inside.
Ye Ling Feng heaved a helpless sigh as she looked at her daughter. "Isn\'t it because I\'m worried that someone was going to listen to our conversation?" She patted at the rattan chair, motioning her daughter to sit down.
They might need to talk for a while. It was not a good idea to stand around.
Song Xing Xing saw the mysterious look on her mother\'s face and thought that she was in the mood to gossip. She sat down and leaned closer to her mother. "What is it?"
"You and Lu Xun, how is it going between the two of you?"
Hearing that the topic would be about herself, Song Xing Xing quickly pulled away from her mother. There was a tinge of pink on her cheek.
Ye Ling Feng noticed the change in her daughter\'s expression and laughed. "The two of you are already planning to get married. What are you shy about?" She wanted to laugh but didn\'t want to make her daughter feel awkward.
What if this daughter was too shy to talk about her relationship? How was she going to learn about their situation from her?
"We\'re okay."
Ye LingFeng suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at this brief answer. She exhaled a deep breath and spoke again, "Mom always know that you are good with children. Usually, when the others brought their kids, it was you who would spend time playing with them. Just now, I saw that Xiao Jun really like you. Xing Xing, are you and Lu Xun planning to have a child soon?"
Her body froze and her breath stuck in her throat. Song Xing Xing looked at her mother with her eyes wide, wondering if perhaps she had misheard things.
This... should be her imagination, right? Her mother would not ask her about this matter, right?
However, looking at the way her mother was staring back at her, Song Xing Xing was convinced that she had not misheard things. Her mother did ask her the matter about having children.
"Mom!"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Ling Feng poked at her daughter\'s arms. "The two of you had already lived together. Isn\'t it natural that I\'m curious about this?"
Her mother\'s words only made her face turn redder. She wanted to run into the house but her mother was holding her hand as if preventing her from escaping this conversation.
"Mom, I\'m still very young."
"You might be young but Lu Xun isn\'t that young anymore," Ye Ling Feng said. "You see, a lot of his friends had kids already. His friend, Zhang Yu Han already had two children. Isn\'t he in a hurry?"
Song Xing Xing bit her lips and lowered her head. It was at this time that she started to think about this matter. Her mother was right. Most of Lu Xun\'s old classmates were married with children. Perhaps, Lu Xun too wanted to experience the same thing and become a father.
"We have never discussed this before," Song Xing Xing admitted.
Ye Ling Feng studied Song Xing Xing\'s expression and concluded that the couple should have used protection each time they get together.
"We are not in a hurry," Song Xing Xing came up with an excuse quickly. "We only got together not too long ago. I still wanted to be in a world where there are only the two of us for a while."
Ye Ling Feng sighed as she patted her daughter\'s hand. "Don\'t think that Mom is pressuring you. Mom was just curious about your plan with Lu Xun. It\'s also a good thing for the two of you to cultivate more feelings before you have a child."
During their lunch, Ye Ling Feng had seen the look on Lu Xun\'s eyes as he watched Song Xing Xing entertaining baby Xiao Jun. She could see how Lu Xun\'s eyes changed when he watched the two of them together. It made her wonder about the couple\'s plan and this was the reason she wanted to have this conversation with her daughter.
There are a lot of things that they needed to plan before the couple has a child together. For example, Ye Ling Feng needed to arrange her stay in Capital City. If the couple had a child, this baby would be Ye Ling Feng and Song Chen\'s first grandchild. Obviously, she wanted to be around when her daughter gave birth.
Of course, Song Xing Xing would not expect that her mother had thought too far ahead. She would probably faint if she knew what her mother was really thinking.
"Mom, let\'s not worry about that first." Song Xing Xing cleared her throat. "Lu Xun\'s parents were going to come and discuss our wedding in a few weeks."
Ye Ling Feng\'s expression changed. She realized that she needed to set her priorities right.. Before she could think about having a grandchild, she need to prepare and welcome Lu Xun\'s parents and discuss the children\'s marriage.
