Chapter 635: Chapter 635: The Hope of Becoming Permanent (1)_1

Old Master Loo, upon hearing Old Master Situ’s words, also cast an unkind look at Xiao Muli. Although he didn’t verbalize his thoughts, his mind was busy scheming that, regardless of whether Baby was involved with Xiao Muli, just based on the fact that Xiao Muli dared to covet their darling, once his injuries healed, he would certainly have his grandson—and his son-in-law—give the boy a thorough lesson.

"Alright, old man, you talk too much. Can’t you see that Muli is still injured?" Old Madam Situ eyed Xiao Muli’s pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead. After a glance at Old Master Situ, she spoke.

"Old Lu, that’s enough. Jianxin, go ask the hospital director to add another bed to this room. After all, with Muli as company, Baby won’t feel lonely." The two old madams thought differently than the two old masters. In their eyes, a woman must eventually marry, and as much as they adored Situ Xin, they couldn’t keep her by their side for life.

Even though Situ Xin was still young and had not reached the age to start a family and career, this did not prevent the two old madams from starting to consider this grandson-in-law (or granddaughter-in-law).

To Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo, Muli was someone they had watched grow up since he was a child; they were well aware of his character. If Muli truly had feelings for their Baby and Baby also took a liking to Muli, then they would not object. Besides, the Xiao Family lived close by, within the same military district compound. In the future, if Baby got married, they could see their Baby every day. With this in mind, the two old madams were even happier to see it happen.

Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo were becoming more satisfied the more they thought about it. They even began to plan in their hearts that, once their Baby got married and became pregnant and gave birth to a little baby, they could help raise it together. The mere thought of holding a soft, Baby-like grandchild made flowers bloom on their faces.

After finishing their thoughts, the two old madams exchanged a knowing glance—its meaning known only to themselves.

Although Loo Jianxin was also displeased that Xiao Muli had secretly reached out to their Baby behind everyone’s back, his mother had now spoken, and even his father had shut up. As a son, what else could he say? He could only respond, "Eh, I’ll go right now."

Although Xiao Muli’s gaze never left Situ Xin for a moment, his ears were always tuned to the voices of the pivotal old masters and madams behind him, which would determine whether he could stay.

And when he heard what Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo said, joy filled his heart. His happiness was not just about being allowed to stay; what thrilled him even more was the prospect of formally engaging and successfully marrying Situ Xin to bring her home as his wife.

Xiao Muli might have been pale and severely drained of strength, but the hope he saw filled him with power.

A final decision from Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo suppressed the internal objections of the men in both families. Hence, it wasn’t just Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo who were plotting to put Xiao Muli through the wringer once he recovered. Even Situ Haotian, Situ Xin’s father, had a score to settle with Xiao Muli for daring to go after his daughter.

Both Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli were well aware of the plotting by the men in the Loo and Situ families. However, neither grandfather nor grandson felt any fear or concern; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The men of the Loo and Situ families were willing to vent on Xiao Muli, which indicated that they weren’t entirely opposed—just unhappy that Muli had claimed their precious gem. Moreover, no matter who wanted to marry Situ Xin, they would have to pass this test.

Xiao Muli wasn’t afraid at all; deep down, he felt that taking a beating was worth it to win a bride.

Situ Xin observed the expressions on everyone’s faces in the sickroom: her grandfather’s and grandfather-in-law’s dissatisfaction and anger toward Xiao Muli, Grandpa Xiao’s subtle, harmless scheming.

The little calculations in Xiao Muli’s mind. The joy and complexity in her mother’s eyes as she looked at her daughter growing up.

Everything seemed so perfect to Situ Xin. She was thankful to have been reborn to her childhood, treasuring these emotions she couldn’t obtain in her previous life no matter what she exhausted.

At that moment, something blossomed in Situ Xin’s heart, something she was unaware of. But Baibai, who had successfully advanced in the space, noticed it.

Baibai let out a light sigh of relief, "Now, that’s better. The state of mind is finally stable." Previously, Situ Xin had broken through suddenly after emerging from the Heart Demon and realizing some truths. This breakthrough was not just one level, but she had advanced by two levels at once.

However, Situ Xin’s mental state was unstable, and the risk of succumbing to the Heart Demon was significant. Just the slightest upset could induce a Heart Demon in Situ Xin. Freshly ejected from the space after her advancement, Situ Xin was oblivious to the fact that she had ascended two levels—she had been too worried about her relatives outside the space, fearing they’d be distressed and harm their health over her.

Baibai, who had advanced a step ahead of Situ Xin, woke to find the space in the midst of its own progression, temporarily disconnected from Situ Xin. It didn’t sense Situ Xin’s current condition until the space completed its advancement and reestablished their connection. It then realized that its mistress, Situ Xin, had advanced two levels in one go. Seeing this, Baibai’s grin almost split its face.

Before it had time to revel in its joy, it noticed the instability in its mistress Situ Xin’s mental state. Recalling the terrifying sensation when Situ Xin had previously encountered her Heart Demon, Baibai couldn’t help but shiver.
