Soon, the Duan family members had all left.
No one mentioned the things the Duan family brought. In the end, Luo Shuyang was in charge of having everything inventoried, and he even fenced off a plot of land in the backyard for people to raise chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, and pigs.
By the time we finished all that, it was almost midnight.
Luo Shuyang sat in the small pavilion, somewhat helpless.
A cool breeze was blowing, and a coat was casually draped over his shoulders.
Luo Shuyang knew who this person was without even turning around.
Chen Manhua sat down beside him and said softly, "Actually... they've already gotten their marriage certificate. If Mom and Dad don't agree, you can represent the Luo family and we can still have a grand wedding in Kyoto."
Luo Shuyang casually put his arm around his wife's soft waist, and Chen Manhua leaned against his shoulder.
Luo Shuyang: "I'm fine with it, but Qingyuan will be really looking forward to her parents' blessings."
Chen Manhua sighed: "It's just a matter of time."
This problem…
There is actually a way to crack it.
It's just that... it's been more than half a year since they got married, and Qingyuan's belly still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy.
Luo Shuyang nodded: "Yeah, that's true. Let's wait and see. There's always a solution."
Chen Manhua: "Do you want to deposit that two million in cash with Qingyuan?"
Luo Shuyang smiled and said, "Although it's not much, it belongs to her. I'll have the bank transfer it directly to her bank card tomorrow."
Two million might be just a bid at an auction for the Luo family, but for the Duan family, it represents the greatest sincerity they can offer.
Luo Shuyang knew what his family was worried about. Wasn't it the same concern that led him to disagree in the first place?
only…
Luo Shuyang has seen the truth clearly; rather than breaking them up, it's better to let things take their course.
Chen Manhua put her arms around his neck, her breath brushing against his neck, and said with a smile, "It's alright, there's plenty of time. Shuyang doesn't need to worry too much. They are all people who know their place."
Luo Shuyang was aroused; that's just how his wife is—she always manages to tease him unintentionally.
Luo Shuyang's eyes turned fiery. He grabbed Chen Manhua's neck from behind, forcing her to raise her head, and then lowered his head to kiss her.
Chen Manhua was somewhat shocked, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and her hands weakly supported his chest.
She wanted to comfort her husband, but this was... inappropriate.
They finally got a moment to catch their breath.
Chen Manhua quickly turned her face away, pressed his hand down, and said in a shy voice, "Shuyang, let's go back first."
She can't be seen by the nanny or anyone else.
Luo Shuyang smiled and decided to just bear with it; his wife was very thin-skinned.
"OK."
Luo Shuyang stood up, bent down, picked up Chen Manhua, and walked straight towards his room.
Manhua is right. There's plenty of time. When he and Manhua got married, weren't they both unhappy? They argued endlessly at home every day. Don't be fooled by how well-behaved Chen Manhua is now; when she first married him, she was like a wild and untamed little cat.
You could accidentally scratch him until he's covered in bruises.
Later, wasn't he also completely subdued by him?
The thought of those absurd days made Luo Shuyang want to laugh, but the sight of the fragrant girl in his arms, blushing and nestled against him, made him feel inexplicably comfortable.
——
In a study in the Luo family compound.
The old lady was sitting on the sofa, slowly sipping her tea.
Luo Kunjing and Ms. Zhao were both by his side.
The old lady said, "I know what you're thinking. You just feel that the Duan family's power is too great, exceeding your expectations. You're afraid that if something goes wrong in the future, the entire Luo family will be ruined."
Luo Kunjing frowned slightly: "Mom, since you know the answer, why are we still talking about this tonight?"
The old lady sighed, "I'm not trying to persuade you, I just feel sorry for Qingyuan and want to say something for this child. She has good judgment; Duan Ye is a trustworthy person."
"As for your concerns, I think that as long as the Luo family doesn't do those messy things, it won't threaten the entire Luo family."
“I saw those cars today too. They came with sincerity, but judging from the scene today, it might not be as harmonious next time they come.”
Although she had no direct contact with the men of the Duan family, she could still sense some of their influence.
It's better to be friends than enemies.
Luo Kunjing and his wife both fell silent.
Finally, Ms. Zhao sighed and said, "Mom, let me think about this."
The old lady glanced at her: "We still need to decide as soon as possible..."
He was only halfway through his sentence.
The old lady smiled again and said, "Isn't Qingyuan's way of doing things very similar to yours as her mother?"
“If you don’t agree, she probably won’t turn back.”
After saying that, the old lady didn't linger and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Ms. Zhao suddenly asked her a question.
"Mom, did you suddenly change your mind because of that grandfather from the Duan family?"
One sentence made the old lady's expression suddenly freeze.
Luo Kunjing asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
The old lady turned around and looked at her daughter-in-law indifferently: "Ruoxi, you shouldn't meddle too much in the affairs of the older generation."
"My private affairs are none of your business as a daughter-in-law!"
This was the first time the old lady had ever been so angry.
This was also the first time in many years that Luo Kunjing had seen his kind and gentle mother display such a terrifying expression.
Ms. Zhao was about to speak when Luo Kunjing stopped her, saying, "Madam, Mother is getting old..."
This was considered giving her a way out.
Zhao Ruoxi smiled somewhat awkwardly and lowered her head: "Yes, Mom, I was too talkative."
The old lady snorted coldly: "You are indeed too talkative."
"Kun Jing, you should keep a close eye on your wife. Don't let her really ruin the Luo family one day and then try to shift the blame onto someone else."
After saying that, the old lady turned and left.
The study remained silent for a while.
Having been in the business world for many years, Luo Kunjing had witnessed Old Master Duan's performance today, and Zhao Ruoxi's words tonight also made him keenly aware that his feelings were not wrong.
but…
Mother is right.
For the first time, Luo Kunjing lost his temper with his wife of many years: "Ruoxi, since you know this, why did you use it to provoke Mom?"
"You know that Mom's health isn't good."
Knowing she was at a disadvantage, Zhao Ruoxi softened her tone: "It was wrong of me to make assumptions, but..."
"Old Master Duan looks just like someone in Mom's photo album. Today, Mom suddenly started speaking up for the Duan family again, and I couldn't help myself..."
Luo Kunjing remained silent.
Zhao Ruoxi leaned closer: "Kunjing, it was my fault. It won't happen again. I'll apologize to Mom tomorrow, okay?"
Luo Kunjing sighed and hugged her.
"Ruoxi, this is a matter for the younger generation. You know that Mom has always doted on Qingyuan. Dad is gone, and Mom should enjoy her old age. I hope you can be more considerate."
Zhao Ruoxi: "Understood..."
