Chapter 319 Middle-aged people being pressured to get married

"That's right, you, as the father, have no idea how capable this child is. This is just the beginning."

There was a strange hint of smugness in the old man's words, as if he knew quite a lot.

The old man was arguing with Lu Chengbo, but actually... he wanted to apologize to Han Ximan, but he never said it.

Lu Wanxing smiled but didn't say anything.

It was clear that everyone present was feeling awkward, and Han Ximan was also quite embarrassed.

"By the way, when are you and Xiaoman getting your marriage certificate? Then you can move back home, or if you want to have a wedding, that's fine too. You'll need to start preparing in advance."

Lu Wanxing, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This grandpa really knows how to stir things up!

As far as she knew, her parents didn't seem to have made up yet.

Lu Chengbo and Han Ximan never expected that at their age, they would still be pressured to get married by their fathers...

So, is this elder's urging for marriage late but finally here?

Lu Chengbo glanced at Han Ximan cautiously, and seeing her embarrassed expression, he had no choice but to step forward and say, "Dad, we're all so old now, that piece of paper isn't that important anymore."

His intention was not to put Han Ximan in a difficult position, but the old man interpreted his words as... he didn't want to take responsibility.

The old man was so angry that he wanted to beat up Lu Chengbo.

"You brat, what doesn't matter? Don't you want to take responsibility? Don't you want to give Xiaoman a proper status?"

Lu Chengbo looked at him in shock, probably not expecting his father to see him that way.

"No, Dad, that's not what I meant."

"What do you mean by 'not that'? You're saying this marriage certificate isn't important, so does that mean you don't want to have a wedding and don't want to take responsibility?"

The old man was so angry he almost grabbed his cane.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility. Alright, Dad, we young people have our own plans. You're getting on in years, so don't worry about so much."

Lu Chengbo clearly didn't want to dwell on this matter, and the old man also noticed Han Ximan's embarrassed expression, so he nodded and didn't continue the question.

I plan to ask my son privately what those two are really thinking now.

Lu Chengbo is truly suffering in silence. At his age, he still has a love rival, who is now eyeing him covetously.

He also wanted to marry his wife as soon as possible, but it depended on whether Han Ximan agreed.

Lu Wanxing, watching from the side, couldn't help but find it amusing. She guessed that the only one opposing this matter was probably her mother; otherwise, there wouldn't be anyone else.

Her father's behavior clearly indicates that he's eager for a formal title as soon as possible. The only certainty is that her mother hasn't given her consent yet.

It seems my own father has a long way to go in winning me back!

At noon, the family ate at Lu's house. The usually quiet Lu's house was unusually lively this time.

Not to mention there was a child whose babbling could make all the adults laugh out loud.

After dinner, everyone sat for a while before going home, and the old man also went to rest.

Lu Wanxing also brought some medicine for the old man to take on time this time.

The old man saw everyone off with a reluctant expression, and once they left, the huge house suddenly felt empty.

The old man's expression also became much more melancholy.

If I hadn't forced the couple apart, I might have had a few more grandchildren, and the house would probably be much more lively.

But there's no point in saying more. I've already done what I did back then, and there's no going back now. People have to keep looking forward.

Lu Chengbo was driving in the front, Lu Wanxing was in the back seat with the child, and Han Ximan was in the passenger seat.

On the way, Lu Chengbo suddenly spoke up with a pitiful look on his face, "Xiaoman, you heard it too, Dad is urging us to get married. When are you going to marry me? Give me a proper status? Hmm?"

He said this very seriously.

However, this caused Lu Wanxing in the back seat to cough uncontrollably.

Can anyone explain why her father's personality changed so smoothly in the blink of an eye?

Han Ximan never expected that Lu Chengbo would say something like "give him a title" in front of the child.

It's one thing to talk about these things in private, but to actually...

She immediately glared at him angrily.

What are you saying in front of the children?

She glared angrily at Lu Chengbo, who was driving, while Lu Wanxing weakly said from behind, "It's okay, just pretend I don't exist."

As a result, he was met with angry stares from the two people in front of him.

"The children should just listen and not make a sound."

"Xingxing, try to persuade your mother."

The first sentence was said by Han Ximan, and the second sentence was said by Lu Chengbo.

Lu Wanxing looked at the two of them, feeling somewhat helpless and wanting to sigh.

“Look, we even have a grandchild now. What if the child grows up and asks his grandparents, ‘Why didn’t you get married before?’ How am I supposed to answer? Xiaoman, I’m in a real bind!” Lu Chengbo started playing the victim again.

Han Ximan was speechless at what the man said.

"The child is still an infant, so what you're describing won't happen for the time being."

"Shouldn't we take precautions first? Wouldn't it be better if we just got the marriage certificate?"

Lu Chengbo spoke cautiously.

Before Han Ximan could speak, the phone rang. She glanced at it and answered it. It was a man's voice on the other end, and then she heard Han Ximan laughing and agreeing to something.

Lu Chengbo seemed to have radar installed, instantly and sensitively capturing what was happening.

"Is that old bastard Gu Zhou? Well, he's trying to poach my guys." He was about to shout at the person on the other end of the phone.

Unexpectedly, Han Ximan hung up the phone immediately.

After hanging up the phone, he angrily said to Lu Chengbo, "Lu Chengbo, you better behave yourself."

Lu Chengbo immediately became aggrieved, "No way, my wife is about to be stolen away, and you still expect me to be honest? Am I not a man?"

Han Ximan said helplessly, "This is one of my sisters, she invited me to dinner."

"Oh! Is that so? Then go ahead and swipe my card!"

Lu Wanxing: ......

No! Dad, where's your spirit?

She genuinely couldn't understand what the two were doing.

What she's certain of now is that her mother has her father completely under her thumb.

Actually, her mother might not have any contact with that Uncle Gu anymore, but she probably doesn't want to agree to her father's request so soon.

Is this what the older generation's interests are like?

Lu Wanxing thought to herself, and then she heard Han Ximan change the topic to Lu Wanxing.

"What's going on between you and Bo Sinian? Aren't you planning to get married?"

Lu Wanxing didn't expect the topic to shift to her, and it was a bit awkward to say anything at this moment.

Then Lu Chengbo, who was driving, spoke up with a dissatisfied look on his face.
