"Thank you, Mom." Su Niannian took the household registration booklet and kissed her mother on the cheek. "I love you, Mom!"
Then, holding the household registration booklet, she waved it in front of Si Lijue and said excitedly, "Mom gave me the household registration booklet, so we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau anytime."
"Okay, we'll go after we finish eating." Si Lijue's lips curled up into a beautiful smile, and his tone became incredibly gentle.
"......"
Su's mother moved her lips a few times, wanting to advise her daughter to consider it carefully, but seeing how happy her daughter was, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
She couldn't help but think: Niannian still deeply loves Si Lijue; look how happy she is to have received her household registration book. Oh well! Let her be! Consider it fulfilling her long-held dream and granting her unwavering love for Si Lijue.
After thinking it through, she said to the two people in front of her, "I'm going to the kitchen to help your uncle and father. You two can stay for lunch!" After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen.
Su Niannian was in an exceptionally good mood after resolving the two major issues of obtaining the household registration certificate and getting her family to accept Xibao.
She casually tossed the household registration booklet into her bag and said to Si Lijue with a grin, "I'll go find you something to eat. Wait for me." With that, she stood up from the sofa and was about to leave.
Si Lijue reached out and grabbed her hand, stopping her, "I'm not hungry."
"Even if you're not hungry, I still need to prepare. Xibao will eat in a little while."
Su Niannian's mind was entirely focused on her eldest son, and she didn't care at all whether Si Lijue ate or not.
The reason I informed him earlier was purely out of politeness.
"Your father, mother, and uncle will prepare these things; you don't need to worry about it."
Si Lijue remained unmoved and showed no intention of letting go.
"Take me to your room. I want to get to know you better, since we're about to get married."
Their marriage registration was just a charade; they would divorce a year later.
Does he have to be so serious? It's like they're actually getting married.
Su Niannian couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. She didn't want to take him to her room, and just as she was about to refuse, she heard her mother's voice behind her.
"Niannian, why don't you take Li Jue to your room? Your mother hasn't let anyone touch anything in your room in the past few years; it's still exactly as it was five years ago."
Su's mother really wanted Si Lijue to go into Su Niannian's room and take a look. She thought that if he went in and took one look, he would know how much Niannian loved him and cared about him.
Li Jue?
How come she didn't know when her mother had been so good to Si Lijue and even changed how she addressed him without her consent?
Su Niannian turned her head and saw her mother carrying a plate of washed fruit from the direction of the kitchen, her face warm and she looked very happy.
I couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, shouldn't you call him President Si? How can you call him by his name?"
Su's mother glanced at her sideways and scolded, "You child, you two are about to get your marriage certificate. He will be my son-in-law. Do you think it's appropriate for me to call him President Si instead of his name?"
She had just gone into the kitchen and talked with her husband and brother, and felt that apart from his cold demeanor, Si Lijue was not bad at all.
Since he stepped into the Su family's door, he has never said anything unpleasant and has always maintained politeness and respect.
In addition, he was their grandson's biological father. So, out of respect for him, the three of them decided to accept this son-in-law.
“It’s outrageous, but we…” Su Niannian was about to say something more when she suddenly felt the grip on her hand tighten a bit, and a sharp pain shot through her, forcing her to shut her mouth immediately and not daring to say another word.
Just then, Si Lijue seized the opportunity, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Then, he parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Auntie is absolutely right. You should just call me by my name. I like hearing Auntie call me that."
His tone sounded very natural and easygoing, as if it were all perfectly natural.
Just then, Su's father slowly walked out of the kitchen carrying freshly squeezed watermelon juice. Hearing Si Lijue's words, he nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, taking the opportunity to continue the conversation, he said, "Li Jue is right. We're about to become a family, so there's no need to be too distant."
He turned his gaze to Si Lijue, his eyes filled with anticipation and a smile. "Lijue, are you going to change how you address us too?"
At the same time, my uncle also came out of the kitchen quickly, carrying a plate of freshly fried, golden and crispy meatballs.
Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Li Jue, you're about to get your marriage certificate with our Niannian!"
From now on, you are truly the son-in-law of the Su family.
So, you have to be like Niannian and obediently call my brother-in-law and sister "Dad and Mom"!
Worried that Si Lijue would be embarrassed, Su's mother couldn't help but stop him, saying, "Alright, alright, you two grown men, stop making a fuss."
It's only Li Jue's first time visiting our home today, so he's bound to feel a little uncomfortable.
"We can change the way we address each other gradually over time; there's no rush."
Although she said that, Su's mother was actually overjoyed. She was very satisfied with the man who was about to become her son-in-law.
This is probably how a mother-in-law grows to like her son-in-law more and more.
"Oh dear, Mom, Dad, and Uncle, please stop talking nonsense! How can you expect President Si to change how he addresses you?"
Su Niannian stared wide-eyed at the three elders in front of her with a look of anxiety, inwardly groaning inwardly.
As she spoke, she frantically blinked at them, looking like a frightened little rabbit, afraid that they might accidentally offend the high and mighty Lord Si Li Jue in front of them.
Her eyes were filled with worry and unease, as if she had already foreseen how bad things might get next.
Su's mother was puzzled: "Can't we change the way we address each other? Other sons-in-law call their wives 'Dad' and 'Mom,' so our request isn't unreasonable!"
When Su's father heard his daughter say this, he thought that Si Lijue looked down on their Su family. He held back his anger and complained in an unhappy tone.
Even if we didn't give birth to him, we did give birth to you and raised you with great difficulty.
"They just married you off to their family, and you even gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Can't we just let him call us 'Dad' and 'Mom'?"
The uncle also found it unbelievable, "Yes, what family's son-in-law doesn't call his wife's parents 'Mom and Dad'? You can't find such a family in the entire capital city, or even in the whole country."
Su's mother, father, and uncle all expressed their opinions and unanimously agreed that it was the right thing to ask Si Lijue to change his address.
