Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, accustomed to his mother-in-law's playful banter. "Sigh! This Mother-in-law of mine... She is way too playful..." he muttered inwardly.
Ava and Julie's faces reddened upon hearing their mother's teasing as they entered. They inwardly lamented, 'Why mom has to be such a teaser? Can't she be normal even for once? She even sells off her daughters with a toothy grin on her face...'
Madam Layla turned to her daughters, curious. "So, tell me how was the date with Yuan? Did you both have a great time with him?"
Julie nodded enthusiastically. "Naturally, we had a great time with Yuan. He treated me and Ava really well. We enjoyed every second of it."
"I see..." Madam Layla exclaimed, a gentle smile on her face as she looked at Yuan.
As a mother, she was genuinely happy her daughters had a great time. She felt grateful.
"Indeed, Mom. It was really a fun date. First, we strolled around the market and entered a Jewelry shop..." Ava recounted their date, and Madam Layla listened intently.
Yuan observed Ava's happy, excited expression and couldn't help but smile softly.
'So they really had a good time on their date, huh? Hearing about their date brings back a few nostalgic memories of my younger days, hehe~' Madam Layla thought to herself.
"Ava, look at this! I liked this pendant very much, so Yuan bought it for me. Isn't it quite beautiful?" Ava proudly displayed the pendant.
"And he bought this beautiful pair of earrings for me. How is it, mom? Beautiful, right?" Julie showcased her earrings.
Madam Layla had noticed the jewelry the moment they entered but acted as if she hadn't. "These are really beautiful. Yuan chose such nice gifts for you two, and I'm happy for both of you."
Ava and Julie exchanged stunned glances. Why wasn't their mother getting jealous? What's going on? When did she become so composed?
'Seems like their idea... failed... Hehehe!' Yuan chuckled inwardly, watching their puzzled expressions.
Later, Yuan inquired, "By the way, Madam Layla, where are Rose and the others? Why don't I see any of them here?"
"Oh, they're probably in your bedroom. I suppose they were having a 'girl talk' inside your room. I wanted to join them as well, but I have a lot of work," Madam Layla replied with a smile.
Yuan turned to Ava and Julie. "You guys have a nice chat. I'll excuse myself."
"Um, you can go. They're probably wondering about you as we speak," Ava said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Yuan, have you guys had a meal outside? If not, I'll tell Ivy to prepare some for you three," Madam Layla asked before he left.
Yuan shook his head. "Madam Layla, you don't need to worry about us. We already had a great meal outside and we've no place for more."
"I see... That's good," Madam Layla nodded, smiling.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave then," Yuan said.
"It's alright, you can go and look for them, hehe~," Madam Layla said to him with a smile.
Yuan smiled back and left the scene as he made his way toward his bedroom, where his wives are.
After Yuan left, Madam Layla turned to her daughters with a playful grin. "So, did you two manage to win his heart during your date? Well, considering that you two are quite beautiful, you must have succeeded in winning his heart, right?"
Ava and Julie's faces reddened. They couldn't meet their mother's eyes, keeping their heads down in embarrassment.
Madam Layla observed them closely, a grin forming. 'So they finally got what they wanted, huh? As expected of my daughters. They indeed have my good genes. All my worries for these two have finally ended.'
Madam Layla, still wanting to hear it from her daughters, asked with a playful tone, "Why are you two so silent? Don't keep your old mother in suspense. Did you succeed or not?"
After a brief silence, Julie shyly began, "Well... After spending some quiet time and getting to know each other better, he finally accepted our feelings for him..."
Ava added in a barely audible voice, "Not only that, he also expressed his feelings for us... Which was totally unexpected."
Madam Layla smiled warmly at her two daughters, genuinely happy for them. "Congratulations, then. You have finally gotten what you both wanted. I'm very happy for both of you."
Ava and Julie blushed again, their mother's congratulatory words sounding more like teasing to them.
'Kyaaa! They look so cute when they become embarrassed. I can't help but want to tease them more and more...!' Madam Layla thought to herself, enjoying her daughters' reactions.
Meanwhile, Yuan arrived at his room and could already hear his wives chatting inside. He smiled, pleased to know that Rose was getting along with both his mothers and the others. Opening the door, he entered.
"Darlinggggg! You're back!"
Yuan was taken by surprise as his mother Grace excitedly shouted his name and jumped at him. He caught her, feeling her warmth and inhaling her sweet scent. She hugged him tightly, legs wrapped around his waist, nearly overwhelming him.
Anna and Emma shook their heads, accustomed to Grace's exuberance. 'Sigh! Grace is Grace, her behavior is unchangeable...' Anna thought to herself.
Despite the excitement, Yuan remained calm and hugged his mother gently, smiling helplessly. 'This mother of mine is really passionate about me... She is too adorable and seductive to resist her, sigh!' Yuan chuckled inwardly.
Afterwards, Yuan looked at Grace, concerned. "You could've hurt yourself if you jumped at me like that, you know? What if I couldn't catch you on time?"
Grace chuckled. "I believe in my darling, he will not let me get hurt no matter what. See, I was right, and you caught me on time."
"But still, you should refrain from doing such a thing in the future, okay?" Yuan advised.
"I can't make any promises on that..." Grace playfully replied.
Anna and Emma felt a headache coming on, hearing Grace's words. Xi Meili remained in her own world, smiling innocently. Rose, watching from the bed, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mom Grace, what am I gonna do with you? You're too naughty..." Yuan sighed, looking into his mother's captivating eyes.
Grace gazed back with passion, a smile on her lips. "Why don't you give me a kiss for now? I want a kiss now..."
Yuan couldn't help but laugh at his mother's request.
'Since she wants a kiss, how can I refuse such a request? Only a fool would reject this idea.' Yuan thought with a chuckle.
Seeing Yuan momentarily quiet, Grace looked at him expectantly. 'Is darling going to kiss me now? I really want to kiss him now.'
After a few seconds, Yuan met Grace's gaze. "Let's kiss then, shall we?"
Grace's smile widened, and she seductively licked her lips. She pressed her soft, rosy lips against his, kissing him passionately while he held her like a princess.
Sighs filled the room as Anna and the others watched, accustomed to Grace's displays of affection. Lily looked on, longing for a similar experience.
A few moments later, Yuan broke the kiss with Grace after their intense moment. Gently placing her on the bed, he smiled and asked, "Are you happy now?"
Grace beamed at him. "Very, and you?"
"Definitely..." Yuan replied quickly, a smile gracing his face. 'How can I hate kissing a woman as beautiful as you, Mom? It's an unnecessary question to begin with.' he thought to himself.
A minute later, Anna asked Yuan with curiosity, "Yuan, how was the date with Ava and Julie? Did they have a good time with you or...?"
Yuan sat beside her, smiling. "The date was amazing. We all three had a great moment and we got to know each other better, which was the main point of the date with them."
"It sounds like the date was a success... So, what do you think about their feelings?" Anna inquired, genuinely interested in his thoughts after the date.
Yuan scratched his head, finding it a bit awkward to answer. Finally, he said, "Well, about that... I accepted their feelings for me, and now they both officially became my girlfriends."
"That's good to hear... They both are nice girls and have genuine feelings for you. You did the right thing by accepting their love for you," Anna said, looking into his eyes with a smile.
'I see... So they succeeded, huh? I'm very happy for them...' Rose thought with a smile.
"I also agree with mother-in-law Anna. They really have genuine feelings for you, husband. I support your decision," Emma chimed in with a smile.
Rose looked at Yuan, grateful. "Yuan, thank you for accepting my sisters' feelings for you. They may be quite childish sometimes, but they are actually very kind and honest."
"What are you talking about? The moment I agreed to take you three sisters as my brides, I already regarded all three of you as my women. Why are you thanking me?" Yuan said to Rose, smiling warmly.
