She looked at Gu Chengfeng with a questioning look, but received a nod from him.

"These are from Mom and your aunt, please accept them!"

The three people present stared intently at her, making her feel quite embarrassed.

On this wonderful day, Shen Sisi didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom, thank you, Aunt..."

"That's right..." Gu Changmei smiled, revealing a pair of dimples, and stood up to put the gold necklace on her.

Gu Chengfeng's eyes never left Chen Sisi.

Sisi has very fair skin and a long, slender neck, which is perfect for wearing necklaces. It seems I should buy her a few more gold necklaces and change them up every day.

The weight that had settled on Shen Sisi was not from the gold necklace and bracelet, but from... the heavy love that came from Xu Hongying and Gu Changmei.

Gu Chengfeng's family not only accepted her and Niu Niu, but also gave them the warmth of family.

The kinder they were to her, the more uneasy she became, always worried that one day they would discover she was just an imposter, and how sad and disappointed they would be...

She was filled with mixed emotions, while Niu Niu beside her laughed carefree.

Those soft little hands played with the small ring on her chest.

Green stones! It was the first time she had ever seen them, how amazing!

This was the first time she had ever received a gift from someone!

This fierce-looking old lady doesn't seem so scary anymore...

She played with the pebbles over and over, so much so that she didn't even let go of them while eating.

After finishing the meal, Gu Changmei smiled gently: "Seeing you all so happy together, I'm relieved..."

She looked at Xu Hongying meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, Sisi's background is pitiful, you must treat her well and not bully her..."

Although Xu Hongying still had some reservations, she thought that, putting aside the fact that he had a child out of wedlock, she couldn't find anything wrong with Shen Sisi, so she sighed and said, "Who asked you to remind me..."

After saying that, she smiled ambiguously and put Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng's hands together.

The big hand is on top, and the small hand is on the bottom.

She patted Gu Chengfeng's hand hard: "You two, put in more effort and hurry up so I can hold my grandson!"

Chen Sisi's eyes widened, and she almost choked on her own saliva.

Beneath Gu Chengfeng's wheat-colored skin, a sudden heat rose within him, spreading instantly to his cheeks and earlobes.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense..."

Gu Chengfeng's words were full of reproach, but his eyes became subtle.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

“You’re already twenty-four. When your dad was your age, your older sister was already old enough to run errands.”

“You’re so young, you’re full of energy. Sisi has had children before, so she’s experienced in this area. If you two work hard tonight, I’ll be able to hold my grandson next year.”

The thought of holding her chubby baby soon made Xu Hongying secretly happy.

Shen Sisi's reputation is indeed not good, but judging from her figure, she should be very fertile. As long as she can give Chengfeng a big, healthy son, she guarantees that she will cherish Shen Sisi.

Suddenly, the food in Chen Sisi's mouth didn't taste good anymore.

She felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she were sitting on pins and needles, and was almost petrified in her chair.

Is this something that can be said in public?

Even if she and Gu Chengfeng were a fake couple, Gu Chengfeng wouldn't be very good at it...

She looked at Gu Chengfeng with pity and a pitiful expression.

It drove him absolutely crazy!

In that instant, he suddenly felt a strange urge to pin Chen Sisi down, to prove to her that he was actually very capable, incredibly capable, but…

Fine, I dug this hole myself, so I'll just have to jump in!

Gu Chengfeng withdrew his hand without a word, his eyes unfathomable: "Mom, I was just promoted to regimental commander, there's a ton of stuff going on in the barracks..."

Xu Hongying immediately panicked. She had only meant to scare the young couple, but her son's words made her suddenly change her mind.

We must stay! We absolutely must stay!

"You go about your business, you don't need to take care of things, Sisi and I are here, aren't we?"

Xu Hongying immediately made a decision: "I don't care. If I don't get to hold my grandson, I won't leave. I'll stay here every day and keep an eye on you..."

"What?" Chen Sisi's jaw dropped in shock.

Didn't we agree this afternoon that Xu Hongying would take the train back to Beijing tomorrow morning?

The train tickets are all bought.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Sisi bought a lot of things to give her.

The person then refused to leave!

That's just how Xu Hongying is; she acts on impulse, and her mouth always beats her brain.

She had originally planned to return to Beijing, but Gu Chengfeng's words made her change her mind. She had to stay and urge her son to work hard that night.

The thought that she would have to share a bed with Gu Chengfeng not only tonight, but possibly for a long time to come, almost made Shen Sisi collapse.

Even if Gu Chengfeng is no good, he is still a man.

It's pretty awkward for a single man and woman to sleep in the same bed!

Especially... she's not a very still sleeper...

Thinking back to the way she woke up this morning, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl under the table.

She subtly tugged at Gu Chengfeng's clothes, signaling him to say something quickly and persuade his mother to leave.

Gu Chengfeng shrugged, looking troubled, indicating that he had no choice.

But as he turned his head, a faint, mischievous smile flickered across his slightly upturned lips where she couldn't see it.

Xu Hongying was determined to personally supervise the young couple in completing the arduous task of having a baby.

Chen Sisi thought tonight was a farewell dinner, and that she would be "free" after eating.
