The meal was warm and harmonious, and Pei Wu and Jin Wei left in the evening under the watchful eyes of Pei's father and mother.
After a day of playing and returning home with a full load of goodies, Jin Wei and Jin Xiao fell asleep as soon as they got in the car.
"My parents said they would renovate the apartment upstairs for us to get married."
"..." Jin Wei opened his mouth in a daze, and after a few seconds he finally spoke, "Do they want us to move back in?"
"No, they just said it would be convenient for us to bring the kids back to stay during holidays. They also said... I should treat you well and not mistreat you."
Pei Wu's words made the two of them sound like an old married couple who had been married for many years.
Upon hearing this, Jin Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Jin Wei's phone rang. The caller was Jin Wei's sister, Jin Mu.
Back then, Jin Mu, the older sister, was asked by Jin's parents to investigate the biological mother of her younger brother's child.
By then, Jin Wei had been living abroad alone for more than two years, and the children could already speak. Meanwhile, Pei Wu's "Bei Shang" had also stabilized and was not easily shaken.
After finding out the truth, Jin Mu first chose to have a deep talk with herself. Jin Wei also frankly told her sister the whole story, but in exchange, she had to keep it a secret from her parents, only saying that Jin Wei had a relationship with an overseas Chinese while abroad, which led to the subsequent events.
Last night, the siblings had another deep conversation in the garden.
Jin Mu asked Jin Wei if he planned to tell his parents everything about his relationship with Pei Wu.
Jin Wei remained hesitant. His concern was that his relationship with Pei Wu might encounter unexpected complications. However, Jin Mu said that his mother was an extremely intelligent person. If his mother had any doubts, she would have someone investigate again. At that time, trying to cover things up would only damage Pei Wu's goodwill in the eyes of Jin's parents.
Jin Wei then relented and said, "If Mom and Dad really suspect anything, just tell them the whole story. Tell them that Pei Wu knew nothing about it from beginning to end, and that I have been secretly in love with her for many years... This situation is something I worked very hard to achieve... I hope they can understand."
However, Jin Wei's parents noticed something amiss and sought out Jin Mu, who had been in charge of investigating the matter years ago.
Knowing that the truth could no longer be concealed, Jin Mu confessed everything to her parents as agreed, and also produced the investigation report that she had hidden away years ago. This report included a paternity test, details of Pei Wu and Jin Wei's interactions, and their encounter that night...
Jin's parents were not as furious as expected, but remained silent for a long time before dismissing Jin Mu. When they came to find Jin Mu again, it was already afternoon.
She simply said, "Pei Wu is just a child. I think she's someone I can entrust my life to. Since your brother likes her so much, we won't interfere. As long as they can be happy, that's all that matters. Xiao Wei is shy, so please have you, his older sister, convey our message to him. He's always confided in you since he was little. You... tell him not to feel pressured, and to be with Pei Wu happily and get married."
Jin Mu relayed her conversation with her parents to Jin Wei.
Jin Wei felt a sudden tightness in his chest, but then abruptly relaxed.
He finally felt relieved.
"Did Mom and Dad really say that?"
"Okay, now you can rest assured. Be with the person you love. Your parents and sister will always be your strong support."
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
Jin Wei hung up the phone.
"Why are your eyes red?" Pei Wu asked.
"..." Jin Wei was silent for a while before looking up at Pei Wu. "It's Jin Mu's call."
Pei Wu noticed the unusual quality in Jin Wei's voice.
After clearing his throat, Jin Wei continued, "Last night, after you left, I chatted with her in the garden for a while..." Jin Wei told Pei Wu about his conversation with Jin Mu last night, as well as what Jin Mu had just said on the phone.
Upon hearing Jin Wei's words, Pei Wu unconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.
"My parents said they want to meet with your parents this weekend to discuss the wedding arrangements."
"good."
Pei Wu responded quickly.
"Shouldn't you call and ask?"
"They...are even more anxious than I am, eager for you to become their son-in-law."
