"Auntie, don't worry. I will definitely not let Momo suffer any injustice," Han Chen said. "From now on, Momo and I will live alone. The Imperial Capital will not be involved."

Han Chen understood Liu Xiangru's worries. She was afraid that Zhou Mo would be ridiculed by the Han family because of his family background.

Liu Xiangru nodded, quite satisfied with Han Chen's statement, "There's one more thing I want to tell you."

"You say."

"Your car and your house are all pre-marital assets. Our family definitely won't be after your money, so you can rest assured. But you also have to understand our painstaking efforts as Momo's parents. If we prepare anything valuable for Momo, it might become post-marital assets... Do you understand what I mean?"

Han Chen's mind was in a mess, and he was slow to react and simply shook his head.

Zhou Mo was covered in cold sweat.

When they were in the car before, the family of three had agreed that these words should not be said in front of Han Chen and Liang Xinyun. Now that Liu Xiangru was drunk, she accidentally let everything out.

She quickly looked at Zhou Zheng for help.

Zhou Zheng also looked anxious, "Xiangru, you are drunk, why are you talking nonsense?"

Liu Xiangru was drunk and was completely unaware that she had said something inappropriate. Alcohol makes cowards bolder, and with the help of alcohol, she became even more unrestrained.

Zhou Zheng wanted to smooth things over, but Liu Xiangru refused and pushed him away, thinking he was in the way. "Don't get in the way of me drinking with my future son-in-law. Zhou Zheng, I know you're not happy with Han Chen, but I'm very happy with him. I want to talk it out today and make it clear what we care about."

"Xiangru," Zhou Zheng said with a worried look on his face.

"Uncle Zhou, please let Aunt Liu speak," Han Chen said, "You are experienced people and have seen a lot. It is normal for you to have concerns. You can also give me some advice. If there is anything I have done wrong, I will change it."

"Look, what a good child," Liu Xiangru pushed Zhou Zheng away, picked up the wine glass, and clinked glasses with Han Chen.

Han Chen quickly picked up his wine glass and greeted her respectfully, "Aunt Liu, feel free to say whatever you want to say. I'm listening."

"It's all in the wine. Let's drink first, and then we can have a good chat."

Han Chen drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.

Putting down her wine glass, Liu Xiangru finally spoke, "The house and car are both assets of a marriage and the bulk of the family expenses. Momo's father and I have always thought that after Momo gets married, our two families will discuss and jointly contribute to buying a house. This way, everyone will be fair. But you... you've already bought the car and the house. We feel that it would be a loss of face for Momo to not have a valuable item. After all, none of us are shameless enough to enjoy your personal property with a clear conscience."

Han Chen lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

"It's not your fault. You can afford to buy a car and a house, so how can it be wrong?" Liu Xiangru said, "That's right. We want to buy Momo a car before you get the marriage certificate. That way, your pre-marital property is yours, and Momo's pre-marital property is Momo's. Everyone has something that belongs to them, and it will be fairer this way."

Liu Xiangru didn't want Han Chen to bring up the house and car as an excuse if they had a fight after they got married.

She has seen too many similar examples. Whenever a couple quarrels, the man would talk about how much he earns and the car and house he bought, and the woman would act as if she had gotten something for nothing.

The most hurtful words are those that hurt a person's self-esteem. If you really say such words, you will never have a good life in the future.

Liu Xiangru just wanted to think that if there ever came a day like this, she hoped her daughter would at least have something to argue with, at least to allow Zhou Mo to stand up straight and fight back, saying, "My parents also bought a car."

Han Chen understood what Liu Xiangru meant, but he lowered his head in shame.

He and Zhou Mo have already obtained their marriage certificate. Now, no matter what Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng buy for Zhou Mo, it will most likely be considered marital property.

"Auntie, please go get the notarization," Han Chen suddenly said, "I want to make it clear that the car I bought for Momo was given to her alone. It definitely won't be considered joint property of the couple."

Liu Xiangru was stunned for a moment and mechanically turned her head to look at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng was also surprised.

Zhou Mo was also surprised.

The family of three never expected that Han Chen would take the initiative to ask them to do the notarization.

"I'm serious," Han Chen said, but he couldn't tell Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru. He and Zhou Mo had already obtained their marriage certificate, so he could only explain, "According to the law, pre-marital gifts, if given for the purpose of marriage, may also belong to both husband and wife. So... let's notarize it first. That way it will be easier to divide the property."

"No, Han Chen," Zhou Zheng was momentarily stunned. "You don't mind us thinking so much?"

"Why should I mind?" Han Chen said, "Isn't this human nature? Besides...my family has always studied law, so I have some understanding of the definition of marital property."

"Is that so?" Zhou Zheng was surprised. "Hearing you put it that way, it seems we've been judging people through their lens. I have to admit, people with a PhD and legal background are different. They're rational, wise, tolerant, and understanding. You've changed my opinion of you."

Liang Xinyun also hurriedly said, "Don't worry. I will definitely not let Momo worry about the betrothal gifts and the wedding. Although Han Chen is a pauper, I still have money on hand, and I will definitely make sure you are satisfied. Also, I will definitely not be like those unreasonable and evil mothers-in-law who force Momo to have children and force her to do housework. I just hope that the two of them can be like they did when they were in school. When they have free time, they can go out together, do something happy, and live their own little lives. I don't have any expectations for them. As long as these two children are happy, I support them in everything they do."

"That's what I think too," Liu Xiangru said. "I've always told Momo that when she comes to this world, she needs to learn to make herself happy. She's our precious child, and we don't need her to suffer. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

"Sister Xiangru, don't worry. I'm watching Han Chen and I won't let him bully Momo."

"Of course I feel at ease with you here."

The two old sisters got along better and better as they talked.

Zhou Mo also kept the things he had been worried about in his heart.

She was worried that her parents' mention of topics like "pre-marital property" and "marital property" would hurt Han Chen's feelings and make him feel that they did not trust him.

But on second thought, if Han Chen really loved her and tolerated her, what would it matter even if he brought it up?

If he understood her, he would definitely consider her and her parents' feelings, and the final scene would be the same as it is now.

On the contrary, if Han Chen really makes a fuss just because some "property" related topics are brought up, doesn't it show that he is unreliable?

A good relationship must be a two-way effort with mutual respect and consideration for each other.

Two people are like two circles approaching each other. If they understand each other, the two circles will intersect. The more consideration and understanding they have, the deeper the intersection, and the two circles will become one. If they each hold their own opinions and fail to understand each other, the two circles will never intersect and will remain two separate entities that cannot merge.

The ending is probably that we will never see each other again because of the long distance between us.
