"Huh? So soon?"
Mu Xinlan bit her lip, feeling a bit anxious about going to the Cheng family. Could that powerful family accept an ordinary woman like her with no background?
"What? Are you scared?"
Cheng Zhiming raised his eyebrows and teased, "An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws, and you're not even ugly!"
"It's not fear, I'm just worried about how they might feel about a woman with no background like me..."
Mu Xinlan bit her lip and didn't continue. Cheng Zhiming, of course, knew what she meant. "Xinlan, Angel's mom and I came from equally powerful backgrounds, and it ended in divorce. Now my parents prioritize my own preferences!"
"Oh! That's good then!"
She seemed to sigh in relief, but her heart was still tense. Having never met Cheng Zhiming's parents, she couldn't help but let her mind wander.
