Chapter 68 is progressing smoothly.
Xu Xiuyun scoffed at her affected manner, disdainfully turning to Shu Zhendong to recount the whole story.
After Xu Xiuyun finished speaking, Shu Zhendong looked at Shu Bowen with a cold and sharp gaze, "Do you have anything to add?"
Shu Bowen's spine tightened. How long had it been since his father had looked at him like that? He immediately said sincerely and firmly, "I absolutely did not touch her!"
“Bowen, you…” Su Peipei, with tears streaming down her face, looked at Shu Bowen, her eyes filled with pity, yet she hesitated to speak.
Shu Zhendong didn't say whether he believed him or not, but turned to Su Peipei and said, "Comrade, since you're here today, tell me, what do you want?"
"Uncle." Su Peipei wiped the tears from her face helplessly, looking pitiful as if she had suffered a great injustice.
However, this act was useless in Shu Zhendong's eyes. He waited quietly, took the tea that Xu Xiuyun had brewed, and drank it slowly without urging her.
After Shu Zhendong returned, Xu Xiuyun stepped down from her post and stopped paying attention to Su Peipei.
Apart from the clatter of teacups, the only other sound in the room was Su Peipei's intermittent sobs, creating an awkwardly quiet atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Peipei finally couldn't cry anymore.
Ten minutes later, Shu Zhendong put down his teacup and asked again, "Can you talk about it now?"
Su Peipei raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed, but her gaze was firm. "Bowen and I are in love. Please, Uncle, agree to our marriage."
"When did I..."
"Shut up!"
Shu Bowen wanted to refute, but was stopped by Shu Zhendong.
Shu Bowen could only cower to the side, feeling wronged like a quail.
Shu Zhendong calmly looked at Su Peipei and asked equally surprising questions, "How old is the child?"
Su Peipei's mind went blank for a moment before she stammered, "It's only been half a month, I'm afraid we can't find out yet."
"Oh." Shu Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "There's still time. Leave your address, and I'll visit you in a few days. Marriage isn't something that can be done overnight; we still need to go through the proper procedures, right?"
Su Peipei was somewhat surprised by Shu Zhendong's straightforwardness, but then she was delighted and asked, "What is the specific date? I haven't told my family yet. I need to go back and tell them, and make preparations as well."
Shu Bowen was completely dumbfounded, not understanding why his father had agreed without even asking him. He was about to speak when Xu Xiuyun grabbed him and stopped him.
Xu Xiuyun shook her head at him secretly, telling him to calm down.
Shu Bowen could only swallow his frustration, but he glared fiercely at Su Peipei.
Su Peipei glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but ignored him and focused on her discussion with Shu Zhendong.
"About three days later, I still need to arrange things at the factory. By the way, who are your family members? I'd like to arrange to buy gifts." Shu Zhendong said seriously, seemingly taking this marriage very seriously.
Su Peipei gradually relaxed her guard, and her thoughts began to be led by Shu Zhendong. The two discussed things and seemed quite satisfied.
After she was seen off at the intersection with the things she had brought, she suddenly realized, "Wasn't everything going a little too smoothly? Is everything alright?"
Looking back, I can't see any problems. The only problem is that everything went too smoothly, but isn't that the result she wanted?
After thinking for a moment, Su Peipei decided to go back and wait.
Anyway, she wasn't afraid they would renege on their promise. If they didn't come to her house to propose marriage in three days, she would go to their house in person, and then she wouldn't leave again...
