Upon hearing this, Xiao Qifeng's memory returned, and it seemed that there was such a thing.
He rushed home and saw his mother watching TV, engrossed in it. This was not his mother's usual behavior, so he lingered in the living room for a moment. Before he could even see the girl on the screen, he was startled by Mu Qinshu's nonsensical words. How old was he at that time? He simply left after saying a few words in a panic.
Looking back now, if the girl his mother told him about was indeed Lu Wanzheng, then wouldn't he have missed a great opportunity to find his wife? The first time he saw Lu Wanzheng was when she was ten years old, and the TV series was filmed after that.
At this moment, he could only agree, saying, "You have really good taste. After all these years, haven't I finally found you the daughter-in-law you've been looking for all these years? You can be happy with that, right?"
"I'm secretly happy, though. I'm almost pregnant with a wife, but only half of my wish from back then has come true," Mu Qinshu sighed.
She has a daughter-in-law, but she doesn't have a tiny, soft daughter.
Mu Qinshu had almost finished eating. She put down her chopsticks, looked at the two people in front of her, and kept looking at them. "When you give me a granddaughter, my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled."
"Mom!" They're not even married yet, and she's already pressuring them to have a child. Xiao Qifeng is worried that Lu Wanzheng will feel pressured, especially since he just told her today that he doesn't want a daughter. "Wanzheng and I have discussed it, and we only want a son."
“Why would I want a son?” Mu Qinshu retorted, displeased. She looked at Lu Wanzheng and said, “I’m not the kind of mother-in-law who favors sons over daughters. Don’t worry, our family’s thinking isn’t that backward. Even if you give birth to a girl, it will absolutely not affect your status in our family. In the future, this whole family will belong to her.”
The topic suddenly shifted to children. Xiao Junnan, who had been eating with his head down, finally looked up and became interested. One of his good brothers who had worked hard together back then was already enjoying his grandchildren, while he was the only one who looked at his bachelor son every day, and his eyes were getting tired of it. He immediately joined the conversation, "Whether it's a boy or a girl isn't something you can decide. Let's just let nature take its course. You two can have as many children as you want. Even if it's just one, your mother and I will cherish him no matter what."
The family got more and more excited as they talked, and Lu Wanzheng was almost embarrassed. They weren't even married yet, and it was too early to talk about having children. Besides, she didn't have any plans for that in the short term. She estimated that it would be another two years before the two adults could hold their grandchildren.
Xiao Qifeng put his arm around Lu Wanzheng's shoulder and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, don't be in a hurry. We haven't had enough of our time together yet. If you want to have a baby, you should wait a few more years."
He spoke very directly, without any euphemisms, and stated his thoughts directly.
He completely blocked any words of persuasion his parents might have to say about having a child, as if the two of them were wearing an invincible shield, and no words could get close to them.
Under the table, Xiao Qifeng held Lu Wanzheng's hand tightly.
In a house that resembled a medieval European manor, the four of them sat there, and a small disagreement arose between them about the topic of children. In the eyes of the older generation, children were the key bridge that held both parents together.
Hundreds or even thousands of years ago, when a man and a woman married and had children, it was considered a sign of the stability of both families.
But now, in the eyes of Xiao's parents, the child is the daughter-in-law's belonging to the family. Do they, as parents, not know what kind of person their son is? He's not young anymore, and he only just found a girlfriend like this. They are still very worried that their son will upset the young girl and break up with her. After all, Lu Wanzheng is indeed not very old. Nowadays, independent women tend to get married later, and Lu Wanzheng is an independent woman.
Finally, a sigh came from Xiao's mother, "Forget it, we're not forcing you to have children so early. As for the child, listen to your father and let nature take its course. If you get pregnant, have the baby. If you want to enjoy life as a couple, let us take care of the child."
"Cough cough cough..." Mr. Xiao coughed a few times, feeling uncomfortable. He had wanted a grandson or granddaughter for a long time, but it was his son and daughter-in-law's wish, so he couldn't interfere too much.
The conversation about children ended there, and it was as if nothing had happened.
Lu Wanzheng stopped picking up her chopsticks and bowl. Xiao Qifeng guessed that she was full, but there was still a lot of food in her bowl. Xiao Qifeng picked up Lu Wanzheng's bowl, poured everything into his own bowl, and ate it all.
This scene left Mu Qinshu somewhat stunned; she hadn't expected her son to be able to do something like this.
Just as everyone had finished eating, a young woman appeared in the restaurant carrying a bag of potatoes that had eaten and drunk its fill. "Young Madam's cat, we've already fed it some food and water."
"Come here quickly, let me hold it. I didn't get a good look at it earlier." Mu Qinshu's eyes were glued to Potato when she saw the adorable little animal.
Potato probably realized how important the woman who was talking was to Lu Wanzheng, so it lay very obediently in Mu Qinshu's arms, letting her touch the flesh on the back of its neck.
Mu Qinshu tried to persuade the two to stay at her home for a day so she could cuddle the adorable kitten more. "Why don't you two stay at home tonight? It's too dark, and it'll be too tiring to rush back now."
“Okay,” Xiao Qifeng agreed readily. His room was a little distance from his parents’ room, so it wouldn’t affect them at all. The only thing that would affect them was work tomorrow. It was a bit far from the company, so it seemed he would be late tomorrow. He didn’t want to miss the time he spent with Lu Wanzheng during the day just to get to work.
The four of them got up and left the restaurant.
Xiao Junnan, with his hands behind his back, didn't say much to Xiao Qifeng and went straight upstairs to his study. The father and son rarely communicated at home, and Xiao Qifeng was used to his father's behavior. Even with Lu Wanzheng present today, he didn't linger in the living room.
Xiao Qifeng, not caring much, pulled Lu Wanzheng along to familiarize themselves with the way, so they wouldn't get lost on the way to their room.
Mu Qinshu read part of the contents of "Love House" and knew that the two had already moved in together. "Then I won't prepare another room for Wanzheng. I'll have someone clean up Qifeng's room today, so you can rest directly. I'll take care of Tudou tonight."
