Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1036 It’s a matter of course
Finally, the atmosphere eased a little.

But the air remained eerily silent, as if there were transparent fuses in the sky, a calm that was somewhat frightening.

Xia Liang glanced at his father's angry face, then at the two people opposite him, and gritted his teeth to speak first:

"That's good too. We were already family, and I think it's great to become family again."

Xia Liang's second half of his sentence was forced back by Xia Anming's gaze.

Then, Xia Anming took a deep breath, looked at Xia Shou, and then at Shangguan Yan, and said, "First of all, I approve of this marriage."

Xia Shou looked up in surprise, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

But Xia Anming quickly poured cold water on the idea: "But have you thought about how to tell your Uncle Shangguan?"

"Dad, I'll explain everything clearly over there, so don't worry," Shangguan Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Anming's expression softened somewhat; the word "Dad" filled him with joy.

After all, he had watched the child grow up since he was a child, so he couldn't be more at ease. The only thing he was worried about was his son.

No, actually he was quite at ease with Xia Shou, but reason told him that no one in the world was special, and nothing was unique.

He was just... just a little worried.

His only concern was their age.

"If you ever do anything to betray your sister, I'll break your legs," Xia Anming coldly warned. "Don't think that just because I'm old I can't do anything to you. Your Uncle Shangguan and I will be there together."

“How could I possibly let Sister Yan down?” Xia Shou retorted.

Shangguan Yan immediately understood Xia Anming's deeper concern and responded promptly:

"It's okay, I've already thought about it. Actually, I still prefer to be Xiao Shou's older sister, but I can't go against his wishes."

If things turn out that way in the future, it's fine to be his older sister again. Actually, I've advised him to date a girl close to his age over the past few years, but he doesn't seem interested in girls his own age.

Xia Anming was completely stunned. This groundbreaking statement completely shattered his understanding of the world.

Xiao Yan's views are really...

It's a bit ahead of its time.

However, judging from this, the two children should be fine.

Let alone Xia Shou not having any ulterior motives, even if he did, I doubt that mistress would be a match for Xiao Yan.

The difference in their levels is too great; no wonder Xiao Yan's blind date partners had such opinions of her.

"Since you've said so, Xiao Yan, then I have nothing more to say. But... what I said earlier remains unchanged: if this kid dares to wrong you, I'll be the first to not let him off the hook!"

"No, it won't happen," Shangguan Yan said confidently.

The topic seemed to have come to an end. Xia Anming had a thousand words to say, but Shangguan Yan had already given him all the answers.

He originally wanted to stand up for his daughter-in-law and give his son a hard time, but the other party felt it was completely unnecessary.

Given this situation, what else is there to say for the party that has benefited the most?
As the party bearing the risk, if she can so readily accept the possibility of infidelity, then other risks are naturally not worth mentioning.

As for their son... well, he didn't lose anything.

Such an excellent daughter-in-law, beautiful and capable, gentle and understanding, and very shrewd.

From a purely pragmatic perspective, they are actually very wealthy.

Aside from being a little older, what other shortcomings does she have?
To put it bluntly, if Shangguan were to create a list of boys with similar qualities to their son and post it online, her inbox would be flooded with requests the next day. The reason she chose Xia Shou was because Chun Chun was a child she had watched grow up; they had a deep bond, so she made the choice.

Xia Anming couldn't think of any other reason besides that.

It has to be said that his son really hit the jackpot. He was saved twice when he was a child, and now he's got such a wife for free. Even winning the lottery wouldn't be this lucky.

Xia Anming never expected Shangguan Yan to be so well-prepared, which made his earlier outburst of anger seem completely unnecessary.

"Well... Xiao Yan, should you go talk to your dad first, or should I go with you?"

"Leave it to me. Besides, Xiao Shou is actually very outstanding. My parents must be very satisfied with him. If I weren't so much older than him, my parents would probably have already tried to match us up," Shangguan Yan said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Xia Anming smiled and exchanged a glance with his wife, his mood instantly improving.

The conversation that followed became very pleasant, as if the marriage had been arranged long ago, a betrothal made before Xia Shou was even born.

On the contrary, Xia Shou, the protagonist, felt like an outsider after experiencing a huge shock.

A few minutes later, Xia Shou went to the balcony alone to get some fresh air. Listening to the laughter and chatter coming from the living room, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Soon, Xia Liang followed him out.

"That was terrifying! Since you were going to tell me anyway, why didn't you tell me first so I could help you out?"

"I think we should just say it directly."

"Wow, is it really necessary to be a man at a time like this?"

But when did you guys start, bro?

“…Go to university, you know, Yan Jie and I went to the same university, and she happens to work in that city too,” Xia Shou lied casually.

If we told Xia Liang that they had started a long time ago, it would probably be too much of a shock to him.

After all, Xia Liang had a wonderful childhood in his memory, and Xia Shou didn't want his impurity to taint his younger brother's childhood as well.

If he knew that while he was playing basketball or video games, his brother was doing *that*; if he knew that his brother deliberately got questions wrong so his sister could tutor him because of *that*; if his brother took sick leave because of *that*.

If he knew that his childhood was filled with such blatant lies, the memory would be anything but pleasant.

……

Time flies, and not long after they confronted their parents, their wedding was on the agenda.

Xia Shou didn't know how Shangguan Yan had persuaded her parents, but in any case, they had no conflict when they met.

He could feel his future in-laws' affection and enthusiasm for him very directly, and he even felt that Sister Yan hadn't really convinced him, and might have just mentioned it casually.

Xia Shou felt that perhaps Uncle Shangguan and the others had always liked him very much.

Their marriage caused quite a stir on social media. One point of discussion was their age difference, but that was only the least important aspect. Most people focused on their seemingly destined love story.

Two acts of kindness that saved his life, and the dog bite scar on his wrist became a symbol of their destined love.

Furthermore, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and all these factors combined made their love a legendary tale.

Wedding preparations are quite complicated, and even with the help of the best wedding planning company, it's still very busy.

However, Shangguan Yan took on the vast majority of the work, so Xia Shou felt okay, but his biggest feeling was that everyone around him was very busy.

And just like that, the wedding day arrived quickly.
