Shikazu sighed resignedly, "Alright, enough with the hypotheticals. I won't stop them anymore. Let them date freely, okay?"
Sang Niannian smiled with satisfaction: "You said it yourself, so you're not allowed to cause any more trouble!"
Lu Jin: "Okay, honey. Our daughter's happiness is the most important thing."
Lu Xici, who had been looking down at her phone, looked up, shook the screen, and spoke with a mischievous tone that suggested she was enjoying the show.
"Mom, I've already informed my future brother-in-law."
Shikazu glared at him and said, "You traitor! You're turning your back on us!"
Chi Yanzhou was looking down at the message Lu Xici had sent: [My dad has given in. You better behave yourself and wish him good luck.]
He looked at the screen, a smile spreading across his eyes. He glanced at the Lu family members not far away and tapped his finger lightly on the screen to reply.
[Thank you, Mother-in-law... Thank you, Brother, A-Ye, and Father-in-law.]
Lu Xici replied instantly: [Don't give me that! Being nice to my sister is more important than anything else.]
Chi Yanzhou: [Of course. She is my life.]
Lu Xici stared at the last five words, paused, and after a long while, only replied with an ellipsis.
[Sigh... I never expected Chi Yanzhou to be such a love-struck fool... Where can I even complain! It has to be my sister!]
Sang Niannian turned her head and said gently to Gu Wan and the others behind her, "Wanwan, Xingyou, Azhuo... that's about it, you guys go back first. We'll have more fun tonight."
Gu Wan understood immediately and nodded with a smile: "Okay... Godmother! Then we'll go back and make some arrangements, and wait for you to come back!"
Lu Jin watched Gu Wan, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, and the rest of the group leave first, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Why are Wanwan and the others in such a hurry to leave?
Sang Niannian took his arm, her tone natural: "It's a business banquet at noon, and the company has a celebration later..."
I thought about it, and we should celebrate separately for our daughter too, shouldn't we?
So I asked Wanwan and the others to go back and help with the preparations; the house should be decorated to look festive.
Shikazu frowned: "We've all had a long day, why make things worse at home? Can't we celebrate tomorrow?"
Sang Niannian: "The master said that today is the best day."
Shikazu: "...When did you start believing in this?"
Sang Niannian: "I've reached that age!"
......
That night, after the celebratory banquet, Chi Yanzhou, who had been by Lu Nange's side, left first, citing "official business" as the reason.
On the way back, only the Lu family of five remained on the bus...
Sang Niannian gently put her arm around her daughter's shoulder: "You must be exhausted?"
Lu Nange leaned on her mother's shoulder and shook her head: "With Mom and Dad by my side, I'm not tired at all."
Shikazu turned around from the passenger seat and snorted, "I guess you're not tired because your boyfriend's with you..."
"Lujin!" Sang Niannian gave him a warning look.
Lu Jin immediately shrank back and readily admitted his mistake: "Wife, I was wrong!"
The three siblings of the Lu family secretly smiled to themselves...
Shikazu blushed and tried to regain his composure: "What are you laughing at? I'm just showing respect to your mother! It's out of love!"
Lu Xici suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously: "Dad, you're right. It's because you love Ms. Sang that our family has been able to thrive and prosper."
These words struck a nerve with Lu Jin. He raised his chin slightly and said to Lu Xici, who was in the driver's seat, with a hint of smugness.
"You do have some sense. Remember this: those who love their wives will prosper. From now on, you'll have to learn from your father, treat your wife well, and listen to her!"
Lu Xici: "I will strive to emulate Mr. Lu Jin!"
The car drove into the Lu family's residence, but the courtyard was pitch black, with only a faint light coming from the distant streetlights.
Lu Jin frowned, opening the car door as he muttered, "What happened? Power outage? Lao Li! We're back!"
Old Li is the current butler of the Lu family. Lu Jin called out twice, and the heavy door was slowly pulled open from the inside...
