"I also hope to become the person he can rely on in his life." Xiaomei stood her ground, a surge of confidence rising within her. She understood that only by facing challenges bravely could she pave the way for her future with A Bao.
At that moment, A Bao's friends cast their attentive gazes in her direction, the air thick with tension and anticipation. Xiaomei felt a sense of challenge fill her heart, her eyes shining with determination.
"I hope you can give us a chance to prove our feelings for each other," Xiaomei said, her voice soft yet powerful. "No matter the external pressures, I will not give up on this relationship."
A Bao's mother’s expression softened slightly, but her dissatisfaction was still evident. "Do you really think you can handle such pressure? I don't want A Bao to get hurt."
Xiaomei felt a fire ignite within her; she could no longer remain silent in the face of such doubt. "Auntie, I am not a fragile girl. I have my own career, and I will work hard for the one I love."
"Well said." A Bao couldn't help but agree, his eyes filled with resolve. He squeezed Xiaomei's hand, conveying strength and support.
After the dinner ended, A Bao's mother appeared somewhat fatigued. Although she tried to maintain her elegance, Xiaomei sensed a subtle shift in her attitude. She had never imagined she could defend this relationship so boldly.
A few days later, Xiaomei was busy working at the office when her phone suddenly rang, displaying A Bao's name on the screen.
"Xiaomei, my mother said she wants to meet you," A Bao's voice carried a hint of nervousness.
"Meet?" Xiaomei's heart tightened as she pondered, "What does she intend to say?"
"She wants to get to know you better," A Bao explained. "I hope you can go; she's a bit traditional and may need time to accept our relationship."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiaomei finally nodded. "Okay, I will go."
A few days later, Xiaomei stood once again at the door of A Bao's house, feeling a bit nervous. Although the confrontation from last time had filled her with strength, she still felt immense pressure facing A Bao's mother.
The door opened, and A Bao's mother wore a softer expression than before. She nodded slightly, gesturing for Xiaomei to come in. The living room was still lavishly decorated, but at that moment, Xiaomei could sense an oppressive atmosphere.
"Thank you for coming, Xiaomei," A Bao's mother said, her voice tinged with a hint of apology. "I know I was a bit harsh on you before."
"Auntie, it's okay," Xiaomei replied, forcing a smile as she secretly resolved within herself. "I understand that you want what's best for A Bao."
A Bao's mother fell silent for a moment, seemingly contemplating how to proceed. "You’ve shown me a different perspective. I’d like to know what your plans for the future are."
Xiaomei felt A Bao's mother's attitude shifting, and warmth spread through her heart. "Auntie, I hope to work hard with A Bao to create our own future. I will strive to become a better person."
A hint of relief flickered in A Bao's mother's eyes as if she finally recognized Xiaomei's determination. "I hope you both can face life's challenges together. No matter what happens, I will support you."
Xiaomei let out a quiet sigh of relief; after several confrontations, A Bao's mother was finally willing to accept her. Under the power of this love, she felt incredibly happy.
"Thank you, Auntie," Xiaomei said sincerely, her heart filled with gratitude.
From that day on, Xiaomei and A Bao's relationship deepened gradually. She not only achieved success in her career but also began to build a good relationship with A Bao's family. Life continued to present difficulties and challenges, but they supported each other and moved forward hand in hand.
Ultimately, Xiaomei received a promotion at her new company, and her bond with A Bao grew stronger through their adjustments together. Facing the storms of life, they proved their love and courage.
