Chapter 165: Marriage

On the way home, Wen Miao saw Wen Shuzhou waiting for him from a distance.

"Ah Miao, is that you?"

"Shuzhou, why don't you wait at home? Are you not wet in the rain?" Wen Miao got out of the car and directly hugged Wen Shuzhou, who opened his arms to him.

"I wanted to see you earlier. No, the rain had stopped when I came back," Wen Shuzhou said with eyes full of doting.

"Let's go home."

"good."

...When Yan Feng and Uncle Wang learned the news that Wen Miao had returned, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Wen Shuzhou took the children to experience all the activities.

…

Two days later, in a spacious and bright conference room of a police station, the afternoon sun shone through the half-closed curtains, scattering mottled light on the clean and tidy tabletop, adding a touch of warmth to the solemn atmosphere. The banners and certificates of honor hanging on the wall sparkled in the dim light, recording the past glory and honor of this team.

At this moment, a group of policemen in neat uniforms gathered in the conference room. They looked solemn, but their eyes revealed excitement and respect that were difficult to conceal.

The director stood up, his voice rich and full of relief.

"Today, we gather here not only to celebrate the successful conclusion of a major case, but also to commend Captain Tang Jue and his squadron members for their good leadership in this case. They not only successfully solved this case with a serious impact with their extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also set an example for our overall situation and demonstrated the spirit of the people's police who are loyal to their mission and courageous to take responsibility! I am proud of them!"

As the director finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the conference room.

Afterwards, the director kept Tang Jue in the conference room and asked about Wen Miao's situation.

Tang Jue did not hold back and told everyone about the two times Wen Miao helped him.

"He's a talented guy. You should thank him very much." The director said loudly.

"Don't worry, Director. I will." Tang Jue said with a flickering look in his eyes.

…

The Wen family had nothing to do recently, so Wen Shuzhou just stuck to his child, thinking that they could enjoy their own world of two. However, Shui Ran learned that her eldest son had some free time and started to worry about his life.

It is said that several families who know the inside story have decided to come to the house for communication.

Inside the villa, as night falls, the soft light of the crystal chandelier fills the spacious and elegant living room.

In the center of the living room, Wen Tingzhu was gently playing with an exquisite pen in his hand, as if thinking about something. Shui Ran was wearing a well-tailored long dress today, and her eyes revealed the tenderness and wisdom of a mother.

Sitting opposite them were several parents from different families, some of them wearing gorgeous Tang suits, some wearing Western suits, and each of them had a serious and expectant look on their faces. The air was filled with a subtle and tense atmosphere, and it seemed that even breathing had become extra cautious.

There was an exquisite tea set on the table, with the aroma of tea rising in the air. Someone coughed lightly, the sound was steady and powerful, and he got straight to the point.

"Everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss the marriage of our children. Marriage is not only the union of two people, but also the continuation of the friendship between our families. Please consider it carefully."

"Of course, let's talk about my Wan'er. She has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young. She has a gentle personality and is naturally worthy of the best man in the world. I think Young Master Wen is the perfect match for Wan'er!" A lady dressed in jewels couldn't wait to speak, her eyes flashing with both eagerness and pickyness.

"Mrs. Zhao is right. Marriage requires mutual affection and more contact. Although my Xiaoxue is a girl, she is already well-known in the business world. She is upright and kind. She has also discussed cooperation with Mr. Wen. I believe that they will complement each other." A middle-aged man in a suit smiled slightly, his gestures revealing the shrewdness and tact of a businessman.

"Marriage is a major matter and it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Although the children's opinions should be considered, what is more important is the match between the two families. Our Yang family has been a family of scholars for generations, and my granddaughter is the best match for the Wen family." At this time, another old woman who seemed more traditional spoke slowly. Her voice was gentle but carried unquestionable firmness.

The discussion became increasingly heated, with each family trying their best to recommend their own child, while also secretly weighing the other family's conditions and background.

The air was filled with not only expectations for the future of their children, but also considerations of family honor and interests. Occasionally, someone would quietly walk through the room, pouring tea and water for everyone, but they did not disturb the discussions of these people at all.

As the night deepened, the discussion inside seemed to have reached a certain consensus. Although everyone may have their own calculations in their hearts, at this moment, their common goal is to find a seemingly perfect marriage for their children, hoping that this marriage can become a solid bridge between two or even more families.

"Madam, please express your opinion!" The lady dressed in jewels turned her gaze to Shui Ran.

"Yes, Mr. Wen, please make a choice!" The man in the suit set his sights on Wen Tingzhu.

"Each family's children are excellent, but I need to discuss this matter with Shuzhou, so I can't make any promises to you tonight." Shui Ran took over the conversation and said with a soft smile.

"Even so, we'll take our leave now. We look forward to hearing good news from the Madam!"

They were all smart people. When they heard Shui Ran speak, they all stood up with interest.

It was the next afternoon when Wen Shuzhou learned about this. In order to avoid some trouble, Wen Shuzhou immediately decided to go home and check.

Shui Ran's eyes fell on her son, full of love and expectation, but also mixed with a hint of imperceptible worry.

"Shuzhou!" Wen Tingzhu spoke first, his voice deep and powerful.

"Your mother and I know that you have always had your own ideas and pursuits, but as a member of the family, you have to consider more when it comes to marriage."

"Shuzhou, we don't want to interfere with your choice, we just hope you can understand that you are old enough to get married after all!" Shui Ran continued, her tone soft but firm.

"Mom and Dad, I understand your considerations and I'm grateful for the path you've paved for me. But marriage is a lifelong event, and I hope to find someone I truly love and with whom I can face the ups and downs of the future together." Wen Shuzhou nodded slightly, his words revealing an attitude that cannot be ignored.

"Shuzhou, we support your idea. We also hope that you can be happy. However, in this complex world, it is often necessary to find a balance between love and family responsibility. We are willing to give you time to find that balance. In fact, sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too." Upon hearing this, Wen Tingzhu raised his lips to a barely perceptible smile.

"Child, your father is right. What happened yesterday was not my initiative, and we didn't ask you to make a choice. It's just that marriage involves love, responsibility, and sacrifice. We believe in your judgment, and we believe that you can find the person who can make you happy." Shui Ran said with a smile in her eyes.

"Mom and Dad, thank you. I know I will be happy." Wen Shuzhou was very glad at this moment that he had such parents.

As they talked, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and smiles appeared on the faces of the three people.

On the way back, Wen Shuzhou received a message from a kid asking him to go home, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled.

After dinner, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually died down. The moonlight filtered through the half-closed curtains like water, spilling into the cozy living room, adding a soft and beautiful touch of color.

Inside the house, the lighting was soft and the air was filled with the faint scent of lavender, creating a quiet world that belonged only to the two of them.

Wen Shuzhou sat on the wide sofa, holding an old book in his hand, occasionally looking up, his eyes gently passing over the girl beside him, while Wen Miao curled up beside him, holding a big sexy bear doll in her arms, with her eyes half-closed, as if she was immersed in the light comedy playing on TV, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth from time to time. There were also a few shared novels and a few bags of unfinished snacks scattered on the sofa, which were the little pleasures of their night together.

"Shuzhou, this is so nice." As the plot progressed, Wen Miao was suddenly amused by a funny scene and burst into laughter. Wen Shuzhou also put down the book in his hand and looked at the child tenderly, with tenderness in his eyes.

Wen Shuzhou reached out his hand and gently scratched the child's nose. The two smiled at each other. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world stopped.

"Woof woof..." Wangwang barked while hugging Huihui, trying to get Huihui's participation.

"Be good..." Wen Miao touched Wangwang's head, and stood up excitedly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Shuzhou, play Werewolf with me!"

"Okay." Wen Shuzhou responded.

Wen Miao rummaged through the cabinet and took out the long-sealed "Werewolf".

“It’s time.”

"Um."

Wen Miao quickly set up the chessboard and started a contest of wits with Wen Shuzhou. During the game, the two argued until their faces turned red, and sometimes they praised each other loudly for their wit. The room was filled with laughter and Wangwang's calls, and love quietly heated up at this moment.

"Why don't we watch a movie?" After the game, it was already late at night, and Wen Shuzhou suggested on a whim.

"Okay!" Wen Miao agreed readily.

After discussing, the two chose a romantic movie that they had been looking forward to for a long time. When the movie started, the light and shadow on the screen intertwined, wrapping them tightly in a romantic atmosphere. Wen Miao snuggled in Wen Shuzhou's arms, and Wen Shuzhou gently held the child's shoulders. Without words, he could understand each other's meaning.

The movie ended, the night outside the window became darker, but the house was still as warm as before.

Wen Miao walked to the window, opened the curtains, looked up at the starry sky, and enjoyed the unique tranquility and beauty of the night.

"Ah Miao, every night is so beautiful with you by my side." Wen Shuzhou hugged the child from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, and spoke softly.

"I think so too." Wen Miao turned around, his eyes seemed to be shining with stars, and responded in a low voice.
