Shen Xizhou didn't expect that after Ms. Lin's evasive questioning, Old Shen would also come to ask.

He was furious this time. "Dad, what's going on between you and Mom? Why are you beating around the bush and can't seem to get away from this topic? Do you think I don't even have the most basic judgment about women?"

Shen Jianzhong didn't hide anything and roughly talked about the surgery that Shen Xizhou had when he was about two years old.

"Don't blame us for not telling you in advance. If you knew about this, you would inevitably have a knot in your heart, which would be detrimental to your personality development."

Shen Xizhou, "..."

“No, Dad…” He paused, seemingly considering how to say it, and finally said speechlessly, “Since you all know I may be infertile, why have you been pressuring me to get married all these years? Don’t you think that’s unfair to the woman?”

To put it bluntly, if he had known about this before getting married, he would definitely have remained single forever.

Right now, Yuan Yuan is lucky to have gotten pregnant, otherwise wouldn't he be harming her? Then how is he any different from that scumbag Zhu Jicheng?

Shen Jianzhong coughed twice and said seriously, "Marriage is not just about carrying on the family line. People still have emotional needs in this world, right? Besides, most young people nowadays don't like children. Whether you choose to be childless or choose IVF, there's always a way out. Your mother and I mainly hope that you have a home."

"Isn't your home my home?"

Shen Xizhou was truly at a loss for words to accept this explanation.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to face difficult choices. His daughter, Yuan Yuan, is wonderful!

Thinking this, Shen Xizhou secretly made up his mind to treat Chu Yuan even better from now on...

Even after their child is born, his love for the little girl will never be diminished.

Sure enough, two days later, Shen Jianzhong arranged his itinerary and came to S City with his secretary.

Before coming, Ms. Lin reminded me to take a gift for Chu Yuan from her jewelry box—a set of four brand-new emerald jewelry pieces.

Ms. Lin studied jewelry design and works as the chief designer at an overseas jewelry company. Although she is not as wealthy as her younger sister, Lin Hanshuang, her income is already very high compared to the average person. Moreover, this set of jewelry is her most satisfying work and she has always wanted to give it to her daughter-in-law.

I was in a rush when I left home and forgot to take it.

"It seems Ms. Lin is indeed very satisfied with her young wife from Xizhou, she even took out this set of jewelry." Shen Jianzhong joked as he packed his luggage.

Ms. Lin took a sip of coffee, her lips curved into a smile. "Commissioner Shen, you'll see when you meet him. Xizhou has truly struck gold this time. From the moment he graduated until now, working, taking doctoral exams, and going far away from home, how many times have I been angry? But if this is the only way to meet this daughter-in-law, then it's worth it even if I get angry a few more times."

Most importantly, she turned the most imperfect aspect of Xizhou's life into a perfect one.

This is something that no amount of money, ability, or charming personality can compare to, not to mention that the young girl is both elegant and domestic, and is truly well-behaved.

The only flaw is that it's a second marriage, but we're in the 21st century now, who cares about that?

Even empresses in ancient times sometimes remarried.

Unbeknownst to her, Ms. Lin had already convinced herself.

"A second marriage is still a treasure?" Shen Jianzhong hadn't fully accepted it yet, but what's done is done, and he had no choice but to accept it.

But he also thought that the external reputation of a second marriage was nothing compared to his own living grandson!

Ms. Lin chuckled to herself, "I bet you'll definitely like Xiao Yuan!"

The flight from Beijing to S City only takes a little over two hours. Chu Yuan had just recovered enough from her rest these past two days, so she went with Lin's mother and Shen Xizhou to pick up Shen Jianzhong.

This can be considered the final hurdle for her and Shen Xizhou to finally get married.

As expected, when Shen Jianzhong first saw Chu Yuan, he was amazed by his beautiful and well-behaved daughter-in-law. In particular, she was nothing like the sophisticated and elegant ladies of Beijing, nor was she like a fairy godmother from a poor family. On the contrary, she had a calm and quiet temperament, and was reserved and insightful. Even when she laughed and joked, she was not annoying at all.

Little did Shen Jianzhong know that this was actually something Chu Yuan had accumulated through experiencing several small worlds.

And then there's the effect of the perfume she secretly used to enhance the system's favorability...

These are things that ordinary people cannot easily possess.

That evening, after confirming that Chu Yuan was pregnant with twins, Shen Jianzhong was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling. He completely forgot about the second marriage and discussed with Ms. Lin the best idea to go to Chu Yuan's house to propose marriage first thing the next morning.

Ms. Lin, "..."

The couple didn't live with their son and daughter-in-law, but instead lived separately in another house in Chenxizhou. Since they had extra houses, they figured they could just do whatever they wanted together, as neither of them was used to it.

Ms. Lin had just finished showering and was applying a face mask when she heard this, so she ripped the mask off. "Oh, I almost forgot about this. Xizhou said that Xiaoyuan has many sisters in her family, so her parents don't really care about them. Plus, they prefer boys to girls, so Xiaoyuan rarely goes home after graduation."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered a domestic abuser like her ex-husband and had no one to stand up for her.

Xizhou is still consulting Xiaoyuan about proposing marriage to her in her hometown; I wonder if he's forgotten, he hasn't replied to me yet.

Shen Jianzhong, wearing glasses and flipping through a book with the air of a seasoned cadre, raised his eyes upon hearing this. "Then ask quickly. I must return to Beijing in three days at most."

"Okay, okay, I'll get it done right away. You're all so busy, I'm the only one with plenty of free time." Ms. Lin used to be very hardworking when she was young, holding a jewelry exhibition almost every three years, but now she's relaxed and enjoying life.
