"I'm telling you this for only one reason: don't interfere in my dating or marriage matters anymore."
"Hmph, you want us to stay out of it? Fine. Then tell me, whose daughter is she?"
Lin Shuyu was indeed unhappy that his son had quietly started dating, but he had also thought about it recently. He realized that the Lin family business would still have to rely on his youngest son in the future, as the others were all useless.
As long as his family background is decent, he won't object.
"You all know her too, her name is Xia Wenxi."
Lin Shuyu snorted again, "I knew it. I never expected that my son, Lin Shuyu's son, would be so shallow."
"I'm just letting you know, so please refrain from making judgments."
Seeing her husband's bad expression, Jian Yuxiang interrupted the two of them.
She smiled and said to her son, "I've met that little girl from the Xia family before; she's a very cute girl. Bring her home for dinner sometime."
Lin Shen glanced at his father, stood up and said, "I have something to do later, so I'll be leaving now. I just came to let you know."
There's really no need to go home for dinner.
After Lin Shen left, Lin Shuyu angrily shouted at his wife, "Look at the fine son you raised! And that little girl from the Xia family, besides being pretty, what else does she have?"
Jian Yuxiang remained silent, letting her husband chatter on and on.
"If it weren't for the fact that Xia Hengyuan treats this daughter well... never mind, she gave birth to three sons, all of whom are here to oppose me!"
At 7 p.m., Xia Wensheng arrived at the place he had arranged to meet Lin Shen.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, there was a bit of traffic on the way."
Lin Shen reached out and poured Xia Wensheng a cup of tea.
Xia Wensheng didn't stand on ceremony and drank it. It was only right that Lin Shen poured tea for him now.
"I just arrived too, bro."
"Cough cough cough—!!"
Hearing Lin Shen address him, Xia Wensheng nearly choked to death.
He coughed so hard his eyes almost welled up with tears. He suspected that Lin Shen had deliberately called out to him while he was drinking tea, intending to harm him.
"What the hell?! Cough cough cough!!"
"Brother, be careful when you drink water."
Xia Wensheng had imagined Lin Shen calling him "brother" before, and it felt quite nice when he thought about it. But when he actually heard it, he just wanted Lin Shen to shut up.
That's so bizarre!
"Please don't call me that, I can't take the blame."
"You are Wenxi's older brother, so I should call you brother."
"You're kidding me."
Xia Wensheng reached out to stop him, "You two are boyfriend and girlfriend now, what are you calling me? You call me brother, you try calling my parents 'Mom and Dad' if you dare."
"If your uncle and aunt are willing."
Xia Wensheng was utterly defeated.
"How come I never noticed before? Lin Shen, you're so shameless. Do people outside know?"
Lin Shen smiled slightly, "It's enough that my family knows."
Xia Wensheng closed his eyes. Why was his fist itchy?
"Seriously, do your parents know about this?"
To be honest, Xia Wensheng actually thought quite well of Lin Shen, it's just that his family...
"I talked to my parents this afternoon. My father wasn't very happy. I believe you know what kind of person he is. He won't be satisfied with anyone who isn't someone he arranged for me."
Lin Shen spoke the truth, and Xia Wensheng thought he was even more favorably disposed towards him. However, he said aloud, "Then your dad won't bully our Wenxi in the future, will he? I really don't have a high opinion of a relationship that isn't blessed by parents."
Lin Shen chuckled briefly, seemingly lost in thought. "Wen Sheng, my dad... he never has a good relationship with anyone he blesses. As for the rest, you can rest assured, my family won't bother Wenxi."
Xia Wensheng was speechless at his words. It was quite a sharp tongue to talk about his own father like that.
Of course, Xia Wensheng didn't think Lin Shen was wrong. He had heard his parents talk about Lin Shuyu's past...
For a son to say a few sarcastic remarks behind someone's back is already considered saintly.
Xia Wensheng then thought of the strange questions Minghuan's friends had asked him when he and Minghuan had just gotten together.
What if your parents absolutely refuse to let you be with Wenxi?
What if they insist you date the girls they introduce?
What if they threaten to strip you of your inheritance rights to force you to give up your relationship?
"Does marrying you mean I have to have a son?"
"Well, the last one doesn't count. It's not time for you to bring this up yet."
Xia Wensheng thought of the questions he had answered back then and blurted them all out.
Lin Shen remained silent for a short while before answering Xia Wensheng's questions one by one.
"My mom was quite happy to hear that my girlfriend is Wen Xi, so there's no way she would object to it no matter what. As for my dad... he's the kind of person who values his life the most, and there's nothing that could make him object to it no matter what."
“I have been an adult for a long time. My hands and feet are part of my body, so there is no possibility that I was forced.”
"Regarding the inheritance rights, I have my own investments, so the inheritance rights do not threaten me. If I had to choose, Wenxi is more important."
"One last question." Lin Shen picked up his cup and took a sip of tea. Thinking of the child, his and Wen Xi's child, the word made his heart beat faster just by thinking about it.
"Although it's not the right time to talk about this yet, I still want to say it."
Seeing Lin Shen's expression, Xia Wensheng suddenly wanted to tell him to stop talking.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, or not having one at all. If we have one, the child will take the surname Xia."
"You're thinking quite a lot. Were you already secretly thinking about Wenxi before you even won her over? Are you serious?"
"Of course, not only the child, but I can also take the surname Xia."
"That won't be necessary!"
Xia was so frightened by the sound that his voice rose, "You've taken the surname Xia, so what am I? I'm the only son in our Xia family, don't even think about replacing me."
Xia Wensheng laughed at him, "If your dad heard what you said, he would probably absolutely refuse to agree."
“There are many people with the surname Lin in my family, so it doesn’t matter if I’m the only one. The media used to always compare the two of us, but actually I envy you.”
Xia Wensheng laughed, "What do you have to envy about me? The media mostly praises you."
Lin Shen smiled but didn't say anything. What else could it be...?
Before meeting Xia Wensheng, Lin Shen had already told Xia Wenxi about it. After that, Xia Wenxi waited for the two to finish their conversation because she was really curious about what they would say. However, after a long time, neither of them said a word.
She had thought about it a lot, but she hadn't expected that the two of them would already be discussing what their future child's surname would be.
It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that the two of them sent messages one after the other.
Xia Wenxi saw Xia Wensheng's message and slowly typed out a question mark.
Xia Wensheng: [Lin Shen said that your future children's children will have the surname Xia.]
After seeing this, Xia Wenxi immediately opened her conversation with Lin Shen.
What exactly did you two talk about?
