Seeing Jin Wei's insistence, Pei Wu remained silent, but instead gripped his hand tightly. She could imagine the immense pressure Jin Wei had endured to get to where he was today.

Pei Wu felt a sharp pain in her heart that made it hard to breathe. She let out a long sigh in an attempt to ease the overwhelming heartache.

There was a long silence inside the car until Pei Wu spoke again.

"When the right opportunity comes, I will take the initiative to explain things to them and make them believe that I will always be good to you."

"Um."

They arrived at Pei Wu's house quickly, and Pei's mother could be seen waiting at the entrance of the community from afar.

Jin Wei suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Pei Wu's 'mother' in the game, and his heart pounded rapidly.

Do your parents really like me?

Pei Wu smiled and patted Jin Wei's hand. "Don't worry too much about what others think. As long as we like each other and are happy, that's enough."

"But they are your parents."

“Yes, but we have our own lives, and our parents have their own lives too.” Pei Wu always had a clear understanding of things. After a slight pause, she continued, “But don’t worry, I think my parents will like you, and they will also like the children very much.”

Pei Wu had already spoken to her parents, and she had frankly told them about her relationship with Jin Wei. However, she did not elaborate on the fact that Jin Wei had secretly loved her for many years. She only mentioned that she had a romantic entanglement with Jin Wei in her early years and that they even had two children together.

Soon, Pei Wu parked the car and got out with Jin Wei and the children.

It was clear that Pei's mother also valued today's meeting, as she was dressed quite elegantly. It was also evident that Pei's mother was quite nervous about meeting her son-in-law for the first time.

"mom!"

"Ah... Auntie."

Pei's mother nodded.

Pei Wu and Jin Wei each led a child toward Pei's mother, carrying gifts they had prepared.

Almost subconsciously, Pei's mother glanced at Jin Wei, but her attention was quickly drawn to Jin Fei and Jin Xiao.

Even though Jin Fei and Jin Xiao look like they are of mixed race, Pei Wu's mother immediately noticed the resemblance between the children and her own daughter.

"They look a lot like you when you were a child."

"Call her Grandma."

Pei Wu gestured for the children to speak.

"Grandma!"

The two little ones called out "Grandma" in unison.

The innocent voices of the children deepened the smile on Pei's mother's face. She responded emphatically and squatted down to be at eye level with the children. She reached into her pocket to take out the red envelopes that she had prepared beforehand.

But to my embarrassment, I found that I had changed into new clothes that morning.

“Your dad insisted I wear new clothes this morning, and the red envelope is in that pocket.”

Seeing her mother's embarrassed expression, Pei Wu suddenly laughed. "No rush, let's go home first. Where's Dad?"

“Your dad is preparing the ingredients for lunch at home. He asked me to come out and buy two bottles of vinegar, so I thought I'd meet you at the entrance of the community.”

Pei Wu's parents' home is not far from the entrance of the residential area.

It's a single-story house with a garden on the ground floor.

Most of the residents in this community are old neighbors who watched Pei Wu grow up, as well as Pei Wu's parents' colleagues.

"Awu brought her son-in-law back?" The person who spoke was Pei's mother's colleague, a few years older than Pei's mother, and had retired a few years earlier. In his retirement, he would play chess, tend to his flowers, and take care of his grandchildren.

"Yes, that's right!" Pei's mother responded loudly, then added, "Look at my grandchildren, don't they look just like A-Wu when she was little!"

"Oh, these are your children! And they're mixed-race twins!"
