Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 1123 - 1125: He Is Her Courage
Previously on Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!...
"Brother Ziyang, Sister Ping already knows we're together, so my mom must know too. Are you scared?" Tianxin's brows knitted with worry. She was, in fact, quite afraid.
She wasn't sure how to face her parents and could only deal with things as they came!
"I'm not afraid. As long as I can be with Tianxin, I fear nothing!"
"If Brother Ziyang isn't afraid, then I won't be either!" Tianxin managed a smile; her courage stemmed from Brother Ziyang's lack of fear.
Brother Ziyang was her strength; as long as he didn't give up, she would persist!
Her parents couldn't possibly keep her and Brother Ziyang apart!
No one could separate them!
"It's good that Tianxin isn't afraid."
"Then let's go explain everything to Sister Ping and the others. Hiding like this won't solve anything!" Tianxin took a deep breath, exhaling resolve.
"Alright," Ziyang agreed, rising to his feet.
She possessed the courage, and that was sufficient; he would handle everything else!
The two approached the door, but as they opened it, they froze.
Instinctively, Tianxin stepped back, pressing herself against Ziyang and clutching his hand.
Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she saw Tian Xingyun standing there. How could her mother be present!
Though she had steeled herself to face her mother, the sudden appearance sent a wave of nervousness and fear through her!
"Mom..." she whispered, her voice trembling slightly as she bit her lower lip, anticipating her mother's reaction.
She had no idea what her mother would do...
"Come inside to talk," Tian Xingyun commanded coldly, her gaze sweeping over Ziyang and Tianxin.
Her eyes lingered on their clasped hands, a heavy feeling settling in her heart.
Ziyang remained silent, guiding Tianxin aside to allow Tian Xingyun to enter.
After Tian Xingyun had entered, they followed her into the room.
Ping and Ziqian entered from behind, closing the door and standing near Tian Xingyun.
All four felt a sense of anxiety, uncertain how Tian Xingyun would address the situation.
Tian Xingyun took a seat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on her daughter, who stood before her. "Explain yourselves," she stated.
"Mom, I'm the one who wants to be with Brother Ziyang; he didn't pressure me into this!" Tianxin urged herself to speak, her grip tightening on Ziyang's hand.
Ziyang felt her trembling and quietly tightened his own grip, offering silent strength and reassurance.
"Madam, may I speak with you privately?" Ziyang inquired.
"Certainly," Tian Xingyun replied.
"No!" Tianxin quickly interjected, her fear of her mother forcing Brother Ziyang away overriding her composure.
"What's the rush?" Tian Xingyun asked, tilting her head and looking coldly at Tianxin.
"Mom, I just..."
"Just what?!" Tian Xingyun's voice rose as she stood, facing her daughter with undeniable anger.
She was truly incensed by her daughter's secrecy and betrayal in pursuing a relationship with Ziyang.
However, she recognized that now was not the time for anger; a solution needed to be found.
"Madam, this matter is Ziyang's fault! He will immediately end his relationship with the young lady and never see her again!" Ziqian interjected hastily, worried about Madam's retribution on Ziyang.
If Madam remained furious and unforgiving, there would be no hope of reconciliation with Master.
Master always deferred to Madam's wishes; with her anger, he certainly wouldn't show Ziyang any leniency!
"I refuse to separate from Brother Ziyang!" Tianxin declared with firm resolve, her expression turning fierce.
"Whether you separate or not is not for you to decide!" Tian Xingyun retorted furiously.
"Mom! I truly love Brother Ziyang, and I want to marry him!" Tianxin conveyed her heartfelt desire to her mother.
No one would stand between her and Brother Ziyang!
"Nonsense! You're far too young for talk of marriage!" Tian Xingyun shot back, glaring at her daughter with renewed anger.
