In a cafe, Director Cadance and Shining Armor were in a corner discussing something.
Judging by their excited expressions, it must be something good.
“Honey, are you serious? Did your nephew really agree to our relationship?”
“Of course. Look at the message he sent me. Although I don’t know how he found out, he’s willing to support us. This is a great thing!”
Cadance pulled out her phone like it was a treasure, opening the interface where Shangguan Jingxing had sent her the message and showing it to Shining Armor.
After seeing the chat content, Shining Armor rubbed his eyes in disbelief, finally confirming that his eyes weren’t playing tricks on him.
“That’s wonderful… but…”
“But what?”
Seeing Shining Armor’s expression instantly drop from joy, Cadance thought he had encountered some problem.
“Your nephew is fine with it, but…”
“It’s okay, honey. This is a good start. I believe my family will agree, and yours will too.”
“Then let’s work hard together.”
“Mm.”
The two of them smiled as they shared a couple’s drink.
Cadance and Shining Armor drank from the same cup, a scene that didn’t attract much attention from others.
Couple’s drinks sold quite well here; many couples enjoyed this kind of intimate interaction.
“But… should we confirm it one more time?”
“Confirm what?”
“Just to confirm your nephew’s situation again. What if he’s trying to lure us into a trap? After all, our situation… getting both our families to agree really is difficult.”
Shining Armor felt a bit embarrassed as he said this, but Cadance wasn’t angry; she understood perfectly why he would think that way.
Moreover, Shining Armor hadn’t even dared to tell his own sister about their relationship.
“Then let’s call and ask again.”
Cadance took her phone and began dialing.
The ringing sound from the phone made both of them in the drink shop start breathing heavily.
Although they had already heard the answer once, confirming it again still required a lot of courage.
The call connected, and Ashford’s voice came through.
“Hello? Auntie, is there something you need?”
“Um… well… it’s about that matter from last time…”
“That matter from last time? Which matter?”
Ashford held his phone in one hand and a book in the other, frowning, not understanding what his aunt was talking about.
“Oh, you know, the matter you called me about last time.” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“The call I made last time?”
Ashford still couldn’t quite remember, then he turned his head and saw Aria and Sonata waving nearby.
One really wonders how Ashford’s brain works, to have forgotten such a thing already.
Aria and Sonata both pointed at their own hair and then at each other’s.
At that moment, Ashford finally remembered what the matter from last time was.
So it was just about the hairstyle after all?
She actually called specifically to ask about it again?
“Oh, I remember now. You mean that matter.”
“Yes, yes, exactly what you’re thinking of… I wonder what your thoughts are now.”
“I’ve thought it through now. Everyone has their own thoughts and hobbies, and we shouldn’t take those away, right?”
“Besides, I don’t think such a small matter warrants you calling me specifically to ask. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
“Waaaah…”
“Eh? Auntie, why are you crying?”
Ashford suddenly heard his aunt crying on the other end of the line and didn’t know what was happening.
Had she shaved her head bald?
That shouldn’t be it.
“Auntie, is someone bullying you? I’ll help you teach them a lesson.”
“No, no, it’s nothing. I’m just too moved.”
“Huh? Moved?”
Hearing his aunt’s reply, Ashford was a bit bewildered.
Moved…
just because of a hairstyle?
Was his aunt really going to shave her head?
“Nephew, thank you. Don’t worry, as long as your aunt has a bite to eat in the future, I will never let you go hungry.”
“Uh… thanks.”
Beep~ beep~ beep~.
The sound of the call hanging up came through, but Ashford was still a bit confused.
How did it turn into her never letting him go hungry as long as she had food?
Something seemed off, but why couldn’t he figure it out?
While Ashford was still at home in a daze, Cadance at the drink shop was already crying from emotion. This chapter is updated first at novelping.com.
Shining Armor sat beside her, using a tissue to wipe away his lover’s tears.
“Alright, alright, don’t cry. It’s a good thing, why are you crying? We should be smiling.”
“Even though only your nephew has agreed for now and the real difficulties are still ahead, this is a good start. I believe both our families will give us their blessings.”
“Yes, you’re right. This is a good thing, we should smile.”
Cadance didn’t look at all like she did when working at Crystal Preparatory Academy; she was now just a girl moved to tears after receiving a family member’s blessing.
Although the road to love would be difficult, having received Ashford’s blessing meant they had taken the first step.
The most significant difference between 0 and 1 is the difference between nothing and something.
They would surely succeed.
“Why don’t we strike while the iron is hot? Go and explain things to your sister.”
“Huh? Explain things to Twilight?”
“Exactly. My nephew and your sister aren’t that far apart in age. Maybe after you explain my nephew’s stance, your sister will agree too?”
“And compared to your parents, it must be much easier to convince your sister, right?”
Cadance looked at Shining Armor with hopeful eyes.
Shining Armor was very conflicted.
But now that even his woman had taken this step ahead of him, what kind of man would he be if he remained cowardly?
So, Shining Armor plucked up his courage, took out his phone, and dialed his sister’s number.
“Hello? Bro, what’s up?”
“Oh, it’s like this. I… I’m in a relationship.”
“Oh? In a relationship? That’s a good thing! Who’s my sister-in-law? Do I know her?”
“Of course you know her. You’re actually quite familiar with her.”
Shining Armor’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Twilight Sparkle, who was in the middle of an experimental study, also noticed the abnormality in her brother’s voice.
Could her brother’s lover be one of those women who bullied her?
Please no!!!
“Brother, just tell me straight who the woman is.”
“Oh, that woman is the Grade Director, Cadance.”
“Oh, so it’s Director Cadance.”
Twilight Sparkle breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it wasn’t one of the girls who bullied her, but then she realized something was wrong.
Who?
Which woman?
The Grade Director?!!!
