In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Even Yuanyuan has found a girlfriend and brought her home. Yu Jiu truly felt the passage of time. However, seeing the children grow up safely, have their own careers, and find their own partners, Yu Jiu was also gratified.
Even Yuanyuan, as the younger brother, has found a girlfriend and will probably get married soon. An'an has been dating Xie Chuan for so many years and is still eagerly waiting to marry him.
Not long after Xu Feng brought Lu Yingying back to meet his parents, Yu Jiu finally brought up An'an's marriage to Xu Zijiang.
“An’an and Xiao Chuan have been dating since high school. They’re both in their twenties now, and they’ll be thirty in three years. I see that they have a good relationship. Xiao Chuan mentioned wanting to marry An’an just now, but you turned it down.”
“But Xu Feng is getting married this time, so we can’t keep delaying An’an, right? Besides, An’an also wants to marry Xiao Chuan. The two of them have liked each other for so many years, and their relationship is solid. Xiao Chuan is also a capable man, and he has met the requirements you made. If you ask me, let’s choose an auspicious day and let them get married.”
Yu Jiu casually brought up the matter while applying a face mask at her dressing table.
Xu Zijiang was playing on his phone in bed when he heard this. He paused for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh.
"It's time to get married. If I oppose this marriage again, An'an will resent me. But I can't bear to."
The mere mention of this matter caused Xu Zijiang to lose all interest in playing on his phone.
The children have all grown up, and Xu Zijiang has aged considerably, with wrinkles appearing on his face, but he remains upright.
“It’s been so many years, and Xiao Chuan has done a great job. I believe that even if we get married, he won’t treat An An badly. An An will still come back to see us often, so there’s no need to be so reluctant to let her go.”
"Besides, with us here and Yuanyuan here, are you still afraid that Xiaochuan will bully An'an? Won't we teach him a lesson? If he treats An'an badly, we can just get a divorce and bring An'an back then."
“Even if we die, Yuanyuan will still be here. The two siblings have a good relationship, and Yuanyuan won’t abandon An’an.”
"Besides, the two of them will definitely have children after getting married. Getting married and having children now is a good time to recover while they are still young, otherwise it will be more dangerous for them to become older mothers. However, one child is enough. An'an is afraid of pain and says she only wants to have one child."
Yu Jiu put on the face mask, then tore off another one and put it on Xu Zijiang's face.
Yu Jiu loves beauty. Her face is almost wrinkle-free, and her skin is smooth and delicate. Even as she gets older, she still exudes charm and doesn't seem to have changed at all.
To ensure that the two of them still look like a proper married couple when they stand together, Yu Jiu has recently started applying face masks to Xu Zijiang to take care of his skin.
Although Xu Zijiang didn't like having these sticky things on his face, Yu Jiu liked them, so Xu Zijiang went along with it, tilting his head back and letting her put them on.
"If you don't want to have children, you can choose not to. Having only one child is already a bargain for Xie Chuan!"
"Why isn't there a way for men to give birth? Why do I have to suffer like this?"
Xu Zi sighed deeply, just as he loved his daughter.
"Don't give me that! Why didn't you say that when I was giving birth!"
Yu Jiu laughed and playfully punched him, and Xu Zijiang took the opportunity to pull him into his arms.
"I would like to, but what was the environment like back then? Money was hard to earn, let alone now. Cell phones and computers have all come out. I don't think it's that difficult for men to have children anymore."
"Besides, I thought having An'an was fine back then, but you wanted two children, so you had Yuanyuan. Didn't I feel sorry for you? I wished I could have given birth in your place!"
Xu Zi said aggrievedly, as if he hadn't cared about her back then.
Back then, he was the kind of person who didn't care whether he had children or not!
"Yes, yes, I know you feel sorry for me. I was just joking with you."
"But we don't have that technology yet, so it's still the woman who gives birth. There's nothing we can do about it. So, when can An'an get married? An'an has come to sound me out so many times. If you don't agree, An'an won't dare to get married secretly, for fear of hurting both of us."
Yu Jiu smiled helplessly.
After all these years, this person is still so narrow-minded. He calls himself a boss, but he's got no ambition at all!
"Let's get married, but the wedding must be a grand affair, otherwise how can it be worthy of our daughter!"
Xu Zijiang finally relented. The two had been dating for nine years, and if they dated for another ten, it would indeed be time to get married.
Knowing that the two of them were serious, what reason did he, as their father, have to object?
"Okay, I'll tell An'an when she comes back tomorrow."
"You don't need to worry about the wedding. Xiao Chuan and his parents will definitely make it a grand affair. After all, they can't wait to marry our An An."
Yu Jiu patted Xu Zijiang on the shoulder, telling him to take it easy.
A few years ago, Xie Chuan proposed to An An, but Xu Zijiang didn't agree, so they didn't get married.
Furthermore, although the two of them were living together, Xie Chuan was still living a miserable single life. At first, Yu Jiu thought they were too young and specifically told An An not to do anything that shouldn't happen.
The two wanted to wait until their wedding night to make it even more perfect, so they waited for so many years.
The next day, An'an returned. She never brought anything home with her; she just carried her small bag and came back, shouting that she was hungry as soon as she opened the door.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home! I'm so hungry! Is there anything to eat?"
An'an clutched her stomach and cried out pitifully.
Now she's twenty-seven, a graceful young woman with long, flowing hair draped over her shoulders, making her even more beautiful. In public, she's the poised and elegant Vice President Xu, but at home, she's a spoiled and adorable young lady.
"Yes, I made breakfast. There are steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and porridge. Why didn't you eat before coming back?"
Xu Zijiang quickly got up and went to the kitchen to bring out the breakfast that had been specially set aside.
He made all of these himself. Now that Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu are semi-retired, they have a lot of free time, and they make their own breakfasts.
"I want to eat the breakfast Dad makes!"
An'an sidled up to Xu Zijiang with a smile, took his arm, and did nothing but say nice things to coax him. No wonder Xu Zijiang doted on this daughter.
Yu Jiu shook his head at the scene. An An always deliberately didn't eat anything when she came back, afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat when she got home, and Xu Zijiang, her father, would worry again.
Fortunately, I have some good news for her today!
An'an was having breakfast. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had already eaten, so they sat next to her and kept her company. She chatted with Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang while eating her breakfast.
“I wasn’t there when I first met the parents. It’s Yuanyuan’s fault for not telling me sooner. I was out playing with Xie Chuan and couldn’t make it back. Later, he brought Yingying to dinner with me alone. I felt that the little girl was delicate and lively, and quite cute. I didn’t expect Yuanyuan to like this type of little girl.”
"He stubbornly refused to tell me what his girlfriend looked like or what her personality was like. This guy."
