Chapter 501 - Meeting Mo family

Feng Jianyu smiled seeing her mood relaxed. "So.... let's pack and leave immediately. They will be thrilled to see you in Country T."

Xiu Mei jutted her lips out, a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes. "Kiss me!" She commanded. Feng Jianyu obliged her.

When he finally broke the kiss and look down at her flushed face, she smiled at him. "We will go but only after our honeymoon is over. What say?"

"In that case, we have to stay here forever. Because our honeymoon period is lifelong." Said Jianyu, hearing her giggle as he crushed his lips with hers.

Two weeks later

Today, Feng Jianyu and Xiu Mei finally landed in Country T, ending their honeymoon shortly in order to not make the elders wait any longer. Apparently, to surprise them they didn't let anyone know of their arrival and went straight to the ancestral mansion of the Mo family.

It surprised Xiu Mei and Feng Jianyu to see the palace was an old country mansion that had been extended over centuries, high up on the hill overlooking the city. Surely, it must take an army of servants to upkeep such a large abode.

It was heavily guarded, but the moment their car rolled to the entrance none of them stopped them at any checkpoints and let them pass. "Zian did this." Before Xiu Mei could ask Jianyu answered.

Xiu Mei was mesmerized to see the ostentatiously detailed pillars by masters of the craft, painted in gold in white at the entrance as if welcoming them.

She had just stepped out of the car and was still marveling the beauty of the structure built by the monarch centuries ago when she was pulled into a strong hug from behind. "Qinqin…."

Followed by another hug…

And another…

And…. another…

Then she stopped counting!

Who are all these people hugging her one by one?

"Move away, you brats…." Mo Weimin's sound echoed, and everyone let go of the dumbstruck woman who was staring blankly. "Ah, my princess… come to grandpa." She sprinted in her grandfather's open arms and hugged him tightly.

"Move away, you old hag." An elderly lady pulled Xiu Mei towards her and looked sternly at her husband. "You've already spent plenty of time with her; keep your hands away this time. Otherwise, I'll make you sleep on the floor."

Mo Weimin's could only sulk. His so-called image in Xiu Mei's mind was deflated like a balloon instantly. 'Was it necessary to scold me in front of Qinqin? Ah, my poor image!'

"I'm Liu Shuang, your grandma. Come, give me a hug." Liu Shuang embraced Xiu Mei close to her heart. "My, my….. Zhi was right, you're so pretty."

"Grandma…" Xiu Mei called softly.

"If it's over, we are also waiting in line for the introduction." A group of people called out in sync. "Don't forget, we are also waiting for the last four months."

At that time Xiu Mei realized they were all his cousins, and everyone is elder to her other than her brother Zian who was excluded from the group as a punishment for keeping her existence a secret.

"No… it'll be us who will introduce ourselves first." Mu Muxing's heavy military voice echoed. But contrary to his military image, he was a lot softer, dressed in casuals. He was standing along with a group of elders, among whom Mo Zhichan and Zeng Ruo was also there.

So they were his uncles and aunts….

"C'mon dad, at least don't bully us in the house." Mo Tianfeng voiced out, he was pushed ahead by other cousins to handle his scary father.

Xiu Mei shared a confused look with Feng Jianyu who just shrugged his shoulder. Are they really her family? They don't behave like typical royals who believe in showing off, sophisticated behavior, or whatnot. It's just a normal family that values each other and lives happily. 

"Guys… you're forgetting something." A girl voiced as she circled around Xiu Mei before placing her arm around Xiu Mei's shoulder. "According to our insider sources, the reason our little sister delayed meeting us was because….." She trailed her thoughts, causing all the cousins to look at Xiu Mei with narrowed eyes.

Xiu Mei "…."'Feng Jianyu… you dared to double-cross me! I'm gonna bite your little brother down there!' She side-eyed her husband who deliberately ignored his wife's scary gaze and moved to greet the family members.

"So, little sister, do you have any explanation behind your behavior?"

"Are we so bad in your eyes?"

"Why didn't you try to contact any one of us?"

"Is only Zian your brother? We are nothing?"

"You kept us waited for four months?"

"How can our Little Squirrel be this heartless?"

"You met me in Country Z but didn't bother to talk to me once. It hurt me." Mo Tianfeng complained.

"And I tried to get your number from Zian, but that rascal asked me to get it from you directly." A female cousin scowled looking at Zian's direction. "But getting President XM's number is next to impossible. Even Aunty Ru and Uncle Zhi didn't have your number but brother in law's."

"You deliberately did this to avoid us. Right?" Xiu Mei was looking down at her shoes as her cousins complained. Her eyes dripped with tears seeing so much love from everyone. "Answer us, Qinqin" One of her cousins lifted her chin to let her face them but a dead silence enveloped them seeing her wet eyes.

"Hey…. Why are you crying, little one?" The eldest cousin instantly caressed her head, wiping her tears, but her shoulder quivered violently, tears burst out like a damn and she covered her face with her palm, not willing to see anyone's face.

"Aww… there there… don't cry…. We are not upset…." The eldest cousin, Mo Luan Xiaze gently hugged her, throwing a disappointed look at other cousins. "It was a mistake I said yes to this plan. Look we all made her cry."

"No…" They hear Xiu Mei's meek muffled voice. "I cried because I was touched by your love… Sorry, everyone, I kept you waiting. If I was aware, you all are this lovable I would have had rushed here along with brother Tianfeng."

"Awww….." A sync voice softened the atmosphere.
