"It's over, my mom is back," he muttered under his breath.
She gripped his hand tightly, feeling somewhat nervous. He, however, patted the back of her hand to soothe her, as if to say, don't worry, the ugly bride has to meet the in-laws sooner or later; that day was bound to come.
But that wasn't what was making her nervous.
"It smells delicious; what are you making?" The vixen's tone dropped suddenly after she saw her.
She feigned an expression of innocence and smiled at her. She knew that she must have been recognized because her complexion had changed.
"Mom, let me introduce you. Xiaxia, your future daughter-in-law." He immediately stepped forward, wrapped his arm around his mother's shoulder, and introduced her with a smile.
She smiled at the vixen, knowing her smile would irk her, "Hello, auntie."
"Xiaxia..." The vixen murmured, and then pulled him back into the bedroom, "Come inside with me for a moment."
