“That doesn’t matter. The main issue is that she has a mental illness, and that can be hereditary!” Hua Wenying lowered her voice. “I’m worried that Xie Yunzhou might—”

“I know all of that.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved into a smile. “He has fully recovered now and won’t hurt me.”

Seeing the girl's determined look, Hua Wenying stopped trying to persuade her: "You know what you're doing."

We can always get a divorce.

The divorce rate is so high these days anyway.

Shi Xi smiled faintly, "So, what did you and Uncle Tao talk about when you went to see Grandpa?"

"You little brat, you really can't stand being wronged. I just finished talking to you, and now you're asking me this?" Hua Wenying flicked Shi Xi's nose.

"You've even met the parents, so the next step is bound to be some discussion, right?" Shi Xi chuckled. "I'll go first, I don't object!"

Hua Wenying's eyes were gentle and kind. "Children shouldn't ask about adult matters."

Shi Xi: ?!

Damn it, I'm already twenty-one!

I'm not a child anymore!

After the birthday party ended, Hua Xuan sighed with regret.

Shi Xi was about to go back to her room to rest when she heard him sigh. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Today is his birthday!

"I thought my aunt would announce her engagement at my birthday party!" Hua Xuan said regretfully, "but she didn't."

Shi Xi was surprised, "They're getting engaged?"

Hua Xuanhe quickly replied, "I'm just guessing. I don't know if they're engaged or not."

Xie Yunzhou brought over a plate. "I made this strawberry pudding especially for you. Would you like some?"

Shi Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile, "I want it!"

Today is Hua Xuanhe's birthday party, and everything is done according to his preferences, with all the desserts being chocolate-flavored.

While chocolate pudding is nice, strawberry pudding is definitely the best!

"Did I just hear about an engagement?" Xie Yunzhou asked casually as he fed Shi Xi pudding.

In reality, his ears were standing straight up.

“I was talking about my aunt and Mr. Tao, not you.” Hua Xuanhe glared at him.

"I see..." Xie Yunzhou glanced outside. "I just saw them still outside. Is Mr. Tao staying here tonight?"

Shi Xi stared wide-eyed as she ate her pudding.

Although I knew the two of them would probably end up together.

However, there is a difference between knowing and hearing.

"Let's go out and take a look." Shi Xi snatched the plate and ran to the door.

Hua Xuan and Xie Yunzhou followed slowly behind.

The outer courtyard.

The moonlight was clear and bright, and everything was peaceful.

Hua Wenying and Tao Boli chatted under the moonlight; they were a handsome couple and looked extremely well-matched.

“They’re such a perfect match!” Hua Xuanhe couldn’t help but say, “If my uncle is like that, then I can accept it.”

"He looks alright, but could he be the next Yan Linlang?" Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou. "You're familiar with Tao Boli, doesn't he have any women outside?"

Xie Yunzhou looked completely innocent, saying, "I'm not familiar with him."

“I’ve investigated him, and he hasn’t been in contact with any other women,” Hua Xuanhe said. “Besides, he has companies overseas and isn’t short of money.”

Shi Xi pondered, "Could he really be a lovesick person?"

The three people whispered among themselves.

Meanwhile, Tao Boli's car drove up.

"Don't bother seeing me off, go home and get some rest." Tao Boli stopped in his tracks.

“Okay, you too.” Hua Wenying looked up at him. “Don’t overwork yourself.”

Tao Boli glanced into the living room, coughed lightly with his fist to his lips, and said, "The children are watching."

"Go ahead and look." Hua Wenying reached out her hand. "Just give me a hug."
