Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1050 - 1: Pluck the Flowers While You Can

The Navy’s efficiency on land is truly astonishing.

Li Mumu got called home by a phone call the next day. As soon as she reached the doorway, she saw a military vehicle with a Navy tag parked downstairs.

Upon entering, she saw a middle-aged couple in white Navy uniforms sitting on the sofa.

They had Mu Qingqing in their arms, playing with the child joyfully.

"Let me introduce you, this is General Liu from the Navy Logistics Department and his wife."

Mu Yuming spoke with a subtle tone.

Clearly, he wasn’t particularly happy.

No father would be happy when his precious daughter, just like a cabbage not yet fully grown, is being eyed by a pig.

Except for those who typically don’t care as much.

Mu Yuming originally planned to wait until his daughter finished high school to consider marriage arrangements. Such an idea couldn’t exactly be considered wrong, yet he underestimated his and his daughter’s value somewhat.

With valuable ham hanging in plain sight, would you expect stray cats and dogs to pretend they don’t see it?

Boss Mu, young and possessing millions, is like a child carrying red gold walking in the bustling market in others’ eyes. Moreover, having only Li Mumu, an only daughter previously, marrying her would mean securing a success in life without further struggle.

Who wouldn’t be interested in such a good opportunity?

Over the past six months, Mu Yuming lost count of how many matchmakers he had to fend off for Li Mumu. Even though he tirelessly reiterated that his daughter should focus on academics and not consider marriage for now, people still passionately and relentlessly continued.

Some people especially value face; if you refuse a toast, they take it personally and fall out with you. There’s no shortage of people who, after being politely turned away by Mu Yuming, became adversarial, creating numerous enemies for no apparent reason.

Mu Yuming actually didn’t particularly care about this.

He wasn’t self-made; he worked for the Four Seas Commerce Guild with their money. Encountering inconsiderate people, the Four Seas Commerce Guild naturally dealt with them.

Work was work, and family was family.

No need to compromise his children’s happiness for work issues.

But this time was different.

He knew Wang Yunxiao’s parents had a Navy background. Regardless, it was someone his daughter had taken to, and it was rare that his wife didn’t oppose. Mu Yuming had long gathered all the information on Wang Yunxiao’s background.

Though he wasn’t particularly satisfied, there were no significant faults either. Most importantly, Li Mumu liked him.

Yet he didn’t expect the Navy to value Wang Yunxiao so much, sending a high-ranking officer specifically to propose.

"You must be Mumu, don’t be nervous. Just call us Uncle and Aunt."

General Liu’s wife said with a smile, "We were comrades with Wang Yunxiao’s parents when they were alive. Our visit is simple; we just discussed with your mom and dad. Now, we’d like to hear your opinion."

"How do you feel about Wang Yunxiao? If you have any issues with him, you can tell us. If not, do you think we should proceed with the engagement?"

Li Mumu blushed.

How presumptuous of you, immediately bringing this up with me.

Even though she was somewhat prepared, she didn’t expect them to be so straightforward, leaving her momentarily at a loss, not knowing where to look, ultimately focusing on Mu Qingqing.

Mu Qingqing, with a bubble of snot and sucking her fingers, gave her sister a silly smile.

What are you laughing at! You’ll face this someday too!

"Uncle, Aunt... um, I don’t want to get married so soon."

Despite her shyness, Li Mumu had to express her feelings to avoid misunderstandings and speculative assumptions from others.

I’m still young and don’t want to enter the tomb of marriage—I want to live freely!

She’d say the same even in front of Wang Yunxiao.

This is me, a proud woman of the new era. We haven’t been dating long, and you’re rushing me already?

Keep dreaming!

"We understand; your dad just told us that he thinks you’re young and hopes you’ll continue your education."

The general’s wife, seeing Li Mumu’s flushed face, assumed the matter was mostly settled, and the remaining were just minor details.

It’s normal for young girls to be shy, and being open-minded as an overseas Chinese is also understandable. Continuing education is a good thing. As a Navy family, you need some cultural quality, or it’ll be laughable.

"Current policies also encourage late marriage and late childbirth. It’s true that teenagers’ bodies aren’t fully developed, which poses significant risks for childbirth. You and your dad are right; we fully understand. But on the other hand..."

"Marriage is marriage, an engagement is an engagement; they are two separate matters. Deciding early and gradually preparing does save a lot of effort. As the saying goes, ’A hundred men seek a girl,’ especially with your child’s looks and demeanor. I’m sure Mr. Mu hasn’t been worry-free about her marriage lately, right?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This statement struck a nerve with Mu Yuming.

Daughters have a shelf life.

Every father feels the agony of his little cotton-padded jacket leaving, a pain transferring from physical to emotional when she’s nurtured for years.

Some jackets even leak and mold.

Some have better quality, attracting everyone’s touch.

"I still stand by what I said: In this matter, I respect Mumu’s opinion."

After a moment of silence, Mu Yuming solemnly stated, "Mumu is young and playful; if she’s unwilling, then we should let it go for now."

General Liu’s wife smiled, "With everyone here, how can you expect a young girl to express herself? How about this: Old Liu, you accompany Mr. Mu, and I take the young girl out for a chat?"

I don’t want to chat!

Li Mumu felt utterly embarrassed.

What’s there to chat about; you guys are just...

With a cheerful smile, General Liu’s wife stood up, taking her hand, leading her outside to the empty space downstairs.

"Aunt, actually, I haven’t..."

"I know."

The general’s wife nodded, her tone turning earnest: "Mumu, Auntie’s been there, too, and understands your feelings. Some things aren’t suitable to say in front of your parents, so I brought you out here."

"We’ve reviewed both yours and Wang Yunxiao’s profile—not only your current situation but also your past."

Li Mumu was momentarily stunned.

What do you mean by my past situation?

"Just as you understand it."

The general’s wife nodded, "Your views on love may differ from ours, and we understand that. But Auntie still wants to advise you to cherish the present."

"The great tides could rise at any moment; everything we hold now and cherish might be destroyed instantly. If you wait until then, it’ll be too late for regret."
