After dinner, Fu Chenyuan and Fu Haozhong went to the study to discuss company matters.
Fu Haozhong breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back, I'll be able to relax tomorrow. I really can't carry this burden anymore. Your mother and I are planning to go on a trip for a while."
Fu Chenyuan looked at the documents in his hand without raising his head: "Dad, don't think you can completely wash your hands of things. Otherwise, if I'm too busy, do you still want to hold your grandson in the future?"
Fu Haozhong became excited upon hearing this.
The eldest son in the family, Fu Tingrui, is almost thirty years old. He is a university professor and is devoted to academics. Compared to a company heir, he must have plenty of time to date, if not a lot.
The result? I've been single since birth for thirty years!
Expecting Fu Tingrui to give birth so he can hold his baby? Dream on!
The second daughter, Fu Jingwen, is a doctor and is too busy to date. Besides, she's said that marrying for one's career is better than marrying a lousy man.
This once made Fu Haozhong wonder if he had failed as a father.
That shouldn't be the case. Both he and Grandpa Fu are henpecked, with their wives having the final say. They are a loving couple, so why does Fu Qingwen seem so disillusioned with the world?
Unexpectedly, it was the third brother, who seemed least likely to get married, who quietly did something big!
The only hope for adding a new member to the Fu family is naturally Fu Chenyuan.
"Really? When are you going to have a baby?"
"From now on," Fu Chenyuan said, then emphasized again, "Dad, you, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma all need to tell them that no one is allowed to pressure Wanwan to have a baby! Don't put pressure on Wanwan."
Jiang Wanning has such a gentle nature; she is always very tolerant of the people she likes and cares about.
If the Fu family really brought this up, Fu Chenyuan felt that Jiang Wanning would probably really consider it.
He finally managed to win Mingyue's heart, how could he possibly have a little rival in love with her!
Don't even think about it!
But he still has to make promises. He will definitely not be like before, doing nothing but work. He has the most important thing to do, which is to live a good life with Jiang Wanning, to be together, and to cherish every moment they spend together.
Fu Chenyuan was just like that; he wasn't close to any of them and was somewhat cold and distant. He only smiled more when he was with the two elders.
Fu Hao felt a pang of sadness, but mostly a sense of relief.
Their child returned, and instead of going astray, he grew into the person he wanted to be.
Before they could even do anything, Fu Chenyuan stepped in to protect them.
"Xiao Ning's child is still young, so of course we wouldn't think that way. You're already married, so you'll have children sooner or later anyway, right? I think Xiao Ning definitely likes children. If you want to be childless, Xiao Ning might not be willing. Don't worry, we won't pressure you to have children. You can have children whenever you want. Now that you're married, maybe I can even look forward to the eldest and second children getting married."
Fu Haozhong said with a delighted expression.
He himself was an only child and especially liked the feeling of a large family, which was exactly what Ye Shuxiang wanted, so they had three children.
Just imagine how wonderful it would be to have a house full of children and grandchildren in the future.
Having discussed that, the topic was moved on, and the two started talking about work.
Jiang Wanning and the others sat at the coffee table drinking tea.
In front of Jiang Wanning was not tea, but a glass of sweet milk.
Now everyone knows Jiang Wanning's habits: she is sensitive to coffee and tea, and cannot sleep if she drinks tea at night.
Therefore, everyone would ask the kitchen to prepare drinks and milk for Jiang Wanning when they drank tea.
Ye Shuxiang came over with a smile, carrying a cup of milk tea.
"Xiao Ning, this is milk tea I made. I removed the tea leaves, so you can drink it without worry. It definitely won't keep you awake. Would you like to try my cooking?"
Jiang Wanning picked up her cup and gulped down several mouthfuls; her eating manners were truly pleasing to the elders.
Jiang Wanning is not a picky eater; she eats everything and enjoys it all. Elders love children like her the most.
"Mom, it's delicious, thank you."
Fu Jingwen hugged Ye Shuxiang and said coquettishly, "Mom, you've forgotten about your daughter now that you have a wife, haven't you? Waaah, I'm jealous."
Ye Shuxiang reached out and tapped Fu Jingwen's forehead: "Heh, you little glutton, you don't drink sugary drinks anymore. But you drank a lot of the milk tea I made for you when you were little. And you used to be so greedy, you would make milk tea yourself and pour in a whole can of your grandfather's good tea leaves, wasting a lot of good tea leaves."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Wanning laughed too. She never expected that Fu Jingwen, with her strong and capable appearance, was such a little foodie since childhood.
The family was enjoying a harmonious time, drinking tea, chatting, and playing mahjong.
Jiang Wanning doesn't know how to play mahjong, so Fu Jingwen teaches her to recognize the tiles.
"It's okay, you're so smart you'll learn quickly. Xiao Ning, this will be our family's entertainment from now on. There are so many of us in the family, we always play cards and mahjong when we get together for holidays. Don't let my little brother's busy schedule fool you, he's really good at mahjong. He can remember the cards, he remembers exactly what cards others have played, just like a robot."
Jiang Wanning was surprised; she hadn't expected Fu Chenyuan to play mahjong.
Jiang Wanning never had such a family atmosphere growing up, and to be honest, she was quite envious.
Now the Fu family has made up for her regret.
Jiang Wanning began to learn with great interest.
Just like playing cards, when a novice plays mahjong, their luck is also blessed by heaven, and they have very good luck.
Jiang Wanning won by herself, and also had a winning hand of all four suits.
She learned very quickly, and the others were no pushovers either; they were all seasoned veterans. The match was evenly matched, and the fight was exhilarating.
Grandma Fu was the most excited.
"Xiao Ning, can you come with me next time Grandma has a gathering with the old ladies?"
Fu Chenyuan and Fu Haozhong heard this sentence as they came out of the office.
He glanced helplessly at Grandma Fu, knowing that his grandmother wanted to take his wife out to show her off.
Sure enough, this whole family wanted to steal his wife!
Fu Tingrui, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, also looked over upon hearing this.
He was sitting on the sofa reading a book, quiet like a proud young nobleman from the old days, calm yet impossible to ignore.
Fu Chenyuan came up behind Jiang Wanning, who was hesitating about which card to play.
At this moment, there were four women at the mahjong table: Jiang Wanning, Ye Shuxiang, Old Madam Fu, and Ye Jingwen.
Both Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu were wearing reading glasses.
Grandpa Fu was giving Grandma Fu advice from the side, but Grandma Fu reached out and slapped away his gesturing hand: "No, we can't issue this one. I have a feeling that someone else is waiting for this one."
Grandpa Fu was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard: "If you don't play this one, just wait for someone else to win."
Grandma Fu was a little conflicted: "No way! I didn't remember the cards just now. Oh dear, my head hurts so much. Which card should I play?"
When she saw Fu Chenyuan come out, she called out, "Yuan'er, come here and let me see the cards. Which one should I play?"
In the past, Fu Chenyuan had often given Old Madam Fu advice and suggestions on how to play cards.
After glancing at Jiang Wanning's cards, Fu Chenyuan walked behind Old Madam Fu with a normal expression. After a moment's thought, he pointed to one of the cards, the One of Bamboo, and said, "Grandma, play this one."
