Shen Mieyue set down his chopsticks and said, "Mother, I already have a girl I like in Liangzhou City. She just isn't willing to marry me yet. After I return to Liangzhou City, I'll try harder."
Shen's Mother felt slightly relieved and said gently, "If the girl isn't willing, don't force her."
Shen Mieyue lowered his head and continued eating the braised pork.
Shen's Mother then turned her gaze to Shen Xiuming, who was sipping soup. She frowned and said, "You're not getting any younger. Settle down soon so I can rest easy."
Shen Xiuming paused mid-sip, and a delicate face suddenly flashed through his mind.
A few days ago, during the welcoming banquet at Qinghua Hall, Shen Xiuming hadn't drunk, but Moxun from the Yue Kingdom delegation had gotten thoroughly drunk.
Shen Xiuming escorted Moxun back to the embassy. When he tossed Moxun onto the bed, the belt loosened, and the clothes slipped askew. Shen Xiuming accidentally caught a glimpse of Moxun's curved chest.
