He knew that his wife probably had been longing for a man who sincerely treated her mother since a long time ago.
As her husband, he should support her ideas unconditionally, rather than trying to throw cold water on them.
Thinking this way, Lu Moqing spoke up:
"It depends on Professor Ming's capabilities, but..."
Lu Moqing paused for a moment, and Qiao Xudao's smile on her face also froze for half a second.
The words that follow "however" and "but" are not generally what she liked to hear.
Lu Moqing didn't throw cold water on her but chose his words carefully and said to Qiao Xudao:
"I don't think my mom is taking Professor Ming very seriously. If it's just his wishful thinking, we can't force them together."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xudao was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said somewhat discouragedly:
"That's true. Some time ago, mom told me she'd rather stay single the rest of her life."
