"Clatter—" The diamond ring fell to the ground, and Xu Yatong opened her mouth in surprise.

Zhou Zhengqing was dressed in a sharp suit and tie, his hair neatly combed.

After this makeover, you can no longer see any trace of his playboy ways; instead, he looks like a refined and cultured gentleman.

He approached Xu Yatong with a bouquet of flowers, knelt on one knee, and presented the flowers.

"Tongtong, I know I've done a lot of terrible things in the past, but things are different now. I have you and our baby. From now on, I'm your good husband and our baby's good father. Give me a chance, and I'll make you and our baby happy!"

No matter how much anger Xu Yatong had harbored before, she was moved at this moment.

"Are you sure you've cleaned up all your affairs outside?"

She asked, still feeling uneasy.

Zhou Zhengqing said firmly, "Tongtong, believe me! Apart from that troublemaker Shen Yuqin, I haven't been with any other girl! You're the only one in my heart!"

An expensive diamond ring, beautiful flowers, and a man who was deeply in love with her made Xu Yatong lose her mind.

She had long since forgotten about the Xu family and readily agreed, "Okay, I agree."

Zhou Zhengqing immediately beamed and put the diamond ring on Xu Yatong's hand.

In this day and age, very few people can afford to wear diamond rings. As Xu Yatong watched the precious crystal sparkle on her hand, she instantly felt that her net worth had increased several times over.

"Mom, Tongtong has agreed to marry me!"

Zhou Zhengqing shouted at the door, "She agreed!"

Qin Yuehe walked in with tears in her eyes.

She held the household registration booklet in her hand and shoved it into Zhou Zhengqing's hand.

"Okay, Zhengqing, take Tongtong to get the marriage certificate now!"

Xu Yatong frowned and said, "Auntie, my household registration book is still at home..."

Qin Yuehe exaggeratedly slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, I was so happy that I forgot about that!"

Xu Yatong lowered her head, and the joy she had just felt slowly disappeared.

Qin Yuehe murmured, "Oh, Tongtong, it's really tough on you. Your dad and grandpa treated you so badly... and you're so unlucky to have a stepmother... If we can't get a marriage certificate, we can't have a proper wedding for you two..."

Her words precisely stirred up immense grievances and anger within Xu Yatong, and she said defiantly:

"It's just a household registration booklet, right? I know where it is, I'll go get it!"

That's exactly what Qin Yuehe wanted to hear.

She knew that the Xu family hadn't been home these past few days; they were all busy taking care of Old Man Xu at the hospital.

She orchestrated the marriage proposal and then encouraged Xu Yatong to steal the household registration book from the Xu family.

Once they've registered their marriage, they're legally married. No matter how much Old Man Xu objects, he can't go against the Marriage Law.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Xu Yatong went back to the Xu family home, stole the household registration book, and then, in one fell swoop, got married to Zhou Zhengqing.

The Xu family was completely unaware of this.

Old Xu didn't wake up until evening.

He opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

Silently, Gu Zhiyun and Feifei leaned their heads closer.

"Grandpa?" Shen Jingyan called out tentatively.

Old Xu didn't seem to be fully awake yet, staring at Shen Jingyan for a long while.

"It's Jingya! How did I end up in the hospital?"

Old Xu called out Shen Jingyan's name, which made Shen Jingyan breathe a sigh of relief.

Grandpa still remembers her!

Old Xu then turned his gaze to Gu Zhiyun: "Little Gu, you're here too."

"Grandpa, I'm not here for you!"

Feifei was overjoyed to see that Old Man Xu recognized the two of them at once, but Old Man Xu stared at Feifei blankly for a long time without calling out her name.

"Whose daughter are you? You look so much like Jingya! Are you her sister? Then why haven't I seen you at the forest farm?"

Feifei: "..."

Old Xu grabbed Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan's hands and said, "Jingya, Xiao Gu, the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and the kids are anxious to review. Why did you bring me to the hospital? I'm fine, just a little forgetful. Let's go back and review quickly; I still have two sets of practice papers to finish!"

As he spoke, the old man tried to sit up.

Shen Jingyan understood: Old Xu stayed at the forest farm during the time when he helped educated youth review their lessons and prepare for the college entrance examination.

During that period, Old Xu was indeed very forgetful; he couldn't even remember his own name. Later, when Xu Honglin found him, he didn't even recognize his own son, let alone Feifei.

Feifei was heartbroken: "Grandpa, it's me, Feifei! I'm your granddaughter! Why don't you remember me?"

Old Xu looked at Feifei blankly: "You're my granddaughter? That's not right, my son is still in high school, how could I have a granddaughter this big?"

As he spoke, he began groping around the bedside table. "I have photos, I have photos of my son, where are they?"

Shen Jingyan hurriedly took his coat, and Old Man Xu, with trembling hands, took out a few old photos from his pocket.

The photos all show Xu Honglin as a child, the oldest being only fifteen or sixteen years old. No wonder Old Man Xu said his son was only in high school.

Feifei knew Old Man Xu's habits. He knew she was forgetful, so he always carried a few photos with him to remind himself who he was.
