At this moment, Jiang Chao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
Jiang Nan was too embarrassed to say anything more, leaving her father alone, questioning the meaning of life.
She was silent in the living room for a long time when she suddenly realized that she couldn't stay silent.
Regardless of what his parents think, his silly younger brother must be feeling very awkward right now.
As the older sister, it's only right that I stand up for him and protect him from the storm.
"dad……"
Just as she was about to say something more, Chen Yunqi suddenly gripped her right hand tightly. She was slightly startled, and then felt Chen Yunqi's fingers invading her, slipping one by one from between his fingers that were originally closed.
With unprecedented initiative and domineering force, their hands became entangled.
Looking to the side, Chen Yunqi was no longer the nervous man he had been moments before; he was simply staring intently at the two elders with a firm gaze.
Just like when I confessed to her, I realized once again that my silly younger brother was actually really handsome.
How dare you? This is in front of my parents!
Jiang Nan struggled with her right hand twice before giving up. Listening to her pounding heartbeat, she noticed her cheeks getting hot and quickly lowered her head, worried that her parents would see her.
"Godfather, Godmother," Chen Yunqi said softly, "I will be good to my sister for the rest of my life."
Seeing this, Liu Yan, who had been on the phone, silently put her phone back in her pocket. Her expression remained largely unchanged; she simply smiled and nodded, as if she had expected this all along.
"It's like you're coming to propose marriage... Come on, you two sit next to me." Liu Yan patted the empty space next to her and said with a light smile.
She herself values her own excellence, so while she is strict with her daughter, she doesn't care what kind of boy Jiang Nan likes.
As long as you are good enough, many problems and anxieties in the process of dating will be easily solved. Your partner just needs to be compatible in personality and suit your taste.
Many people don't realize that a partner isn't something you pursue, but something you attract.
Most importantly, marriage is a very practical matter; ultimately, it's a matter between two families.
She had always felt that this boy took after Liang Zhirou, and that he had a really good personality. Considering his family background, she felt that Yun Qi was even more suitable. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
Jiang Chao is different, but it has nothing to do with his personality. He simply views every boy who gets close to his daughter with equal hostility.
So he was even angrier when he saw the two of them holding hands in front of him.
Didn't Chen Lu say she wasn't his daughter?
Damn it, this thing is just born!
After a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but mutter, "Daughter, you're really hungry."
"How can you talk about your own daughter like that! And you're dragging Yunqi into it too!"
"Ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was just making a joke!"
Liu Yan grew angrier the more she thought about it. Despite Jiang Chao's incessant wailing, she still pinched his soft flesh several times before she stopped.
Jiang Chao's dignity as the father-in-law vanished instantly, while the two young men next to him struggled to suppress their laughter.
Chen Yunqi, in particular, felt that if he laughed now, his godfather would target him for the rest of his life.
"Did Xiao Yunqi steal your money?" Liu Yan glared at Jiang Chao one last time.
Jiang Chao felt wronged, thinking to himself that this little brat might as well rob him of his money; this was practically kidnapping his daughter.
...Wait, he only has one child, Jiang Nan.
Isn't this robbing them of both their money and their daughter?
After the initial uproar subsided, the victims' emotions gradually stabilized.
"When your godfather first met your father-in-law, he chopped a brick in front of me with his bare hands and I didn't even flinch. You still need to work on your mental fortitude." Jiang Chao sipped his tea and boasted to Chen Yunqi without batting an eye.
Chen Yunqi nodded obediently.
“Dad, it seems like you’re the only one in our family who can’t chop that thing with your bare hands,” Jiang Nan couldn’t help but interject.
"I don't want to talk to you... I'm going fishing with my in-laws!" Jiang Chao stormed to the coat rack by the door to pick out clothes.
"How did we become in-laws?" Liu Yan found it strange. How did this person's brain work? Just now she was looking down on him, and now she's calling Chen Lu her in-law.
“This kid even held my daughter’s hand. If he dares to renege on his promise in the future, I’ll throw him into the Binjiang River.”
Jiang Chao gritted his teeth and said, then pushed open the door and walked out into the scorching sunlight.
The door was slammed shut. Chen Yunqi and Jiang Nan simultaneously recalled what happened last night and exchanged a guilty glance.
Liu Yan snorted coldly, glanced at the two children sitting next to her, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Nan asked.
Liu Yan took out her phone again and waved gently at them.
The two leaned closer and saw a video of a one-year-old girl grabbing the baby during her first birthday celebration and refusing to let go.
Chen Yunqi's pupils twitched twice, and he immediately knew who the two children were.
The video appears to have been recorded by his father, but he hasn't seen it... which is very strange.
Given my father's character, he shouldn't have kept such a damaging video hidden until now to mock him...
After much deliberation, he reasonably suspected that Chen Lu was planning something big, perhaps even something he wanted to secretly put on the big screen at his wedding.
"Daughter, when other people do their first birthday celebration, they either pick their future or their career, but you're picking your husband!" Liu Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Nan's heart tightened suddenly. "Mom! We just got together, what husband..."
She felt like dying.
How did she end up getting to her godfather's house? It was so awkward. And when she got back to her own house, she was the one who felt most embarrassed.
...
late at night.
Chen Lu lay on the bed, still smiling as he reminisced about the stern face Jiang Chao had made while fishing.
