Truly powerful men don't flaunt their success and status by the number of women around them. They cherish their reputation more, bind themselves with stricter rules, or when such a man falls in love with a woman, no other woman will ever appear in his eyes.

She doesn't care whether her future son-in-law is a good person or a bad person. As long as he is good to her daughter, even if he is an utterly wicked villain, he will be the best person in her eyes.

"If Master Xue likes these gingerbreads, please have Shushu make them for him in the future," Madam Shen said with a smile.

"Ah Xuan." Xue Xuan swallowed the gingerbread with satisfaction before speaking in a calm tone.

“That’s good, it’ll sound more affectionate to call him Ah Xuan.” Mother Shen smiled.

Before Shen's father could speak, the soft flesh around his waist was suddenly twisted 180 degrees by a pair of iron clamps, and his eyes widened in shock.

While pinching Shen's father hard, Shen's mother wore a calm smile.

Xue Xuan's dark eyes swept over Shen's father, who was gasping for breath, then he pursed his lips and turned his head away as if he hadn't seen him.

"You have good taste." He thought Shen Wangshu had excellent judgment, recognizing him as a thousand times better than that Ouyang family brat. He whispered in her ear. Seeing Shen Wangshu turn her head and smile at him, the sweet aroma of gingerbread and warm black tea filling the air, bathed in the warm afternoon sun, something stirred within him. He was a very strong person, but at this moment, all he wanted to do was hold Shen Wangshu in his arms and take her to a sunny garden for a nap.

That will surely be a good dream.

Xue Xuan's eyes gleamed faintly when he thought of those tranquil and peaceful moments.

"That cheating kid, is he from the Ouyang family?" He paused, then asked with a hint of displeasure.

"You want to avenge me?" Shen Wangshu had no objection to Xue Xuan seeking revenge for her.

They are husband and wife, the closest of people, why can't they avenge her?

"Cut off their supplies," Xue Xuan coldly ordered, turning his head to the side.

A burly young man standing quietly behind him looked surprised, but when he saw Shen Wangshu with a bright and cheerful smile, he understood and turned to go out to make a phone call.

"Wouldn't the loss be too great?"

"No, I have no trouble selling my goods." Otherwise, he wouldn't be such a sought-after guest by jewelry companies everywhere. However, Xue Xuan was not a sociable person and always disdained the invitations from these jewelry companies.

Even Shen's father had to go through a lot of favors and effort, and it was only by chance that he was able to invite him.

Whether Shen's father regretted it at this moment is unknown. He stared at his daughter who was very close to Xue Xuan, and then looked at Shen's mother who was also very affectionate towards Xue Xuan and had already called him "Ah Xuan". He couldn't help but give in.

However, as the person in charge of managing the family business, he had a more direct understanding of the power behind Xue Xuan. Despite his efforts, he couldn't bring himself to call Xue Xuan "Ah Xuan" like his two silly women. But seeing Xue Xuan's indulgent attitude towards Shen Wangshu, Shen's father's gaze softened considerably.

...Fine, considering he cut off Ouyang Jewelry's supply.

Although Xue Xuan did not control all the jade mines in Myanmar, he was the most powerful. He personally told them not to sell to Ouyang Jewelry, and merchants selling raw materials in Myanmar generally dared not sell to them anymore.

Not only jade, but also various gemstones.

The thought of Ouyang Jewelry facing dire straits made Shen's father happy, and he happily began to eat the gingerbread.

Seeing that he had satisfied Shen's parents in such a short time, Xue Xuan's lips curled into a smug smile, which quickly vanished the moment Shen Wangshu looked over, and he adopted a cold and expressionless demeanor.

"Pretending." He loved to play tricks, and Shen Wangshu couldn't help but reach out and pinch his ear.

They were still very familiar with each other.

When Shen's father saw this, his heart immediately jumped into his throat.

That's incredibly bold.

However, what terrified Shen's father was that Xue Xuan moved closer to Shen Wangshu and asked to "pinch him again."

Mr. Shen hesitated, wanting to say something, but a sharp pain in his waist prevented him from speaking.

"The sun is shining brightly outside, why don't you take Ah Xuan for a walk around the villa?" Because of her utter disgust for Ouyang Yu, Madam Shen thought Xue Xuan was a decent person. Although the young man was overly enthusiastic upon first meeting, these days there's always talk of love at first sight.

She had initially thought that Xue Ye, whom her husband described as terrifying, was a difficult person to get along with. However, seeing how indulgent he was towards Shen Wangshu's every move and how good his temper was, her smile widened. She wasn't an old-fashioned person and knew that young people were closer when they were alone together, so she wanted to leave the two of them alone.

"That's not a good idea," Mr. Shen said, unable to hold back his cough.

It's like selling a daughter for personal gain.

Although he is middle-aged, he has always known how to take care of himself. He doesn't smoke, only drinks a little alcohol, and doesn't like to flirt with women outside, so he looks exceptionally young.

He had a pained look on his face, and his face was full of wrinkles.

He understood that Shen's mother was worried about her daughter's marriage, but not just any man in the world could marry his beloved daughter. While secretly cursing the woman for being ignorant and foolish, Shen's father dared not say it aloud, otherwise he might have to experience the woman's power tonight.

He could only whisper to Chen's mother, "It's our first meeting, I'm afraid Shushu might be a bit negligent. Master Xue has come all this way, how can we let him trouble himself with such trivial matters?" He muttered to himself for a while, and seeing that Chen's mother was unmoved, he pushed her and said, "Go and cook."
