Are you crazy?! He accidentally flirted with a bigwig in Beijing's elite circles.

Zhao Zhen glared at him through gritted teeth, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and asked him in a low voice.

"That girl from the Meng family has been following you around since she was little, don't you have any feelings for her at all?"

Zhao Jinqian replied calmly, "No."

"Then you can also take a look at other socialites and wealthy people..."

"I told you, I don't want anyone but her."

Zhao Zhen, his expression not good, asked, "Are you absolutely determined to be with that girl?"

"It has to be her."

Zhao Jinqian added, "If you insist on opposing it, you don't have to show up at the wedding. I will announce to the public that you are too old and in poor health to attend the wedding. I believe Mom will cooperate fully."

"you……"

"In addition, I will try to get Tata pregnant as soon as possible after the marriage. You know that Mom wants to have a grandson, so she will probably be very willing to move in with her daughter-in-law and grandson."

"You, you bastard, you're threatening your father again!"

"It's just normal communication, how can you call it a threat?"

Zhao Zhen was about to say something when the old butler behind him spoke up.

"Sir, perhaps we should just forget about it. What will you do if the young mistress really moves in with the third young master?"

Zhao Zhen: "..."

As the saying goes, "Strike the snake at its seven-inch mark," and Zhao Zhen was instantly speechless.

During dinner, Su Ta sat next to Zhao Jinqian, and he made sure she was the center of attention throughout the meal.

Take care of her meals.

Su Ta was used to it, but now she felt a little uncomfortable.

She quietly tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

"Okay, I can eat by myself, don't worry about me."

The person opposite her was staring so intently she could practically see right through them.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinqian wiped his hands, but had already peeled all the crab and shrimp meat and placed them in a bowl for her.

"Eat up, I'll peel it for you after you're done."

Su Ta nodded repeatedly.

Madam Zhao was very satisfied with what she saw and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Jinqian to be so caring. I was worried that his cold-hearted nature would make it hard for him to find a wife, but now it seems that I don't have to worry about that anymore."

Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore; it was so offensive that he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"She's too weak to do anything, why does she need your son to be so attentive? It's unbearable to look at him, he's so worthless!"

Su Ta stopped using her chopsticks and slowly put them back.

Madam Zhao's smile vanished instantly, and she slammed her chopsticks down, turning to glare at him.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Zhen froze. "I..."

"Have you forgotten how you served me back then? Do I have to give you examples one by one so the children can hear them clearly?"

Zhao Zhen's expression immediately changed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Wife..."

"You treated me worse than I ever have back then, and you still have the nerve to talk about our son? What do you find so objectionable? If he's truly worthless, isn't he just like you?"

Su Ta was a little dumbfounded, and he turned to look at Zhao Jinqian in a daze.

Seeing that she had put away her chopsticks, Zhao Jinqian simply picked up the bowl, used his own chopsticks to pick up the crab meat inside, and fed it directly to her mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Su Ta's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly refused.

"No, I don't need you to feed me, I can eat by myself..."

As she spoke, she thought about taking over her own rice bowl.

Zhao Jinqian easily avoided her hand and coaxed her gently.

"I'll feed you."

Su Ta: "..."

Zhao Zhen was completely humiliated by the mother and son's coordinated attack.

He slammed down his chopsticks, looking utterly frustrated.

"I'm not eating anymore, you guys eat!"

After saying that, he was about to leave the table.

Su Ta suddenly turned her head to look over, her face filled with panic and unease.

I was afraid it was my fault.

But Zhao Jinqian grabbed her chin and fed her crab meat.

"Hmm!"

Su Ta stared at him with her big, watery eyes wide open.

Can't you see your dad is angry? Are you still feeding me?

Zhao Jinqian acted as if he hadn't heard or seen anything, and instead asked her a question.

"Would you like some fish?"

Su Ta: "..."

Madam Zhao's face also turned cold. "Sit down and eat your meal!"

Seeing that his wife was angry, Zhao Zhen didn't dare to disobey her at all.

He sat down silently, picked up his chopsticks again, and ate without uttering a sound.

Madam Zhao glared at him and looked away, her expression and eyes softening as she looked at them.

"Come on, Tata, eat more. The menu was all prepared by your auntie. I don't know if it will suit your taste."

Upon hearing this, Su Ta quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, Auntie, thank you. I really like it."

"If you like it, come again next time. Auntie will have the chef make it for you again. Come on, have more."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

As she spoke, Su Ta quickly took her bowl and said in a low voice.

"Give me the bowl, I'll eat by myself!"

We finally finished dinner.

The maid brought in all the gifts that Zhao Jinqian had prepared.

But Suta was too embarrassed to say that she had prepared it herself.

Because they are all too expensive...

"Mom and Dad, this is a little something that Tata prepared for you."

Madam Zhao knew perfectly well what was going on, but she still acted very happy.

A man should cherish his wife.

"Okay, okay, Mom likes it very much."

Before leaving, Madam Zhao specially arranged for someone to give Su Ta the set of jewelry she had given her, so that she wouldn't forget to take it with her.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the jewelry box.

"Honey, this isn't the Imperial Purple set..."

Madam Zhao glared at him. "Since you haven't prepared anything for my daughter-in-law, then shut up. How petty!"

Zhao Zhen: "..."

Is he petty?

He gave most of his shares and assets to his mother and son, and yet people still say he's petty?

"Mom and Dad, it's getting late. I still need to take Tata home, so we'll be going now."

Mrs. Zhao was a little reluctant to part with them, and she held their hands as she spoke.

"Tata, you and Jinqian should go home and spend more time with your aunt when you have time. If you really don't have time, your aunt can come to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly put his arm around her shoulder and said something reluctantly to the two of them.

"Your mother is getting old, don't make her travel back and forth. Go home and visit her more often, so we don't have to worry about her."

Su Ta witnessed firsthand what a top-tier henpecked husband looks like tonight.

She suddenly wondered if Zhao Jinqian would do the same thing in the future.

"Uncle and Aunt, Jin and I will come to see you whenever we have time. Please come in, we'll be going now. Thank you for your hospitality and gifts."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded, "Well then, drive carefully on the road and be safe."

"Okay, goodbye, Uncle and Aunt."

Zhao Jinqian opened the passenger door for her. Wei Cheng hadn't come along today, so he was driving himself.

He used the back of his hand to protect Su Ta's head, and only after she got in did he close the car door and turn to look at his parents.

"I'm gone."

Madam Zhao smiled broadly and lowered her voice, asking, "Son, when do you plan to go to the Su family to propose marriage?"

Zhao Zhen's lips twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Tonight, his wife and son had completely targeted him.

"I will be visiting you soon, and then I will inform you to come and formally propose marriage."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhao immediately clapped her hands together.

"Alright, alright, then hurry up, Mom will start preparing your betrothal gifts right away."

Zhao Jinqian nodded slightly; what they prepared was their business.

He already knew what the hefty betrothal gifts would be.

"Let's go inside, we're leaving."

Zhao Jinqian got into the car and watched it slowly drive away. Madam Zhao sighed.

"I'm finally going to have a daughter-in-law!"

"You like that girl that much?"

Madam Zhao glanced at him.

"Tata is so lovable! A girl like that is sure to have many admirers. It's your son's good fortune that she's interested in him. What's there to complain about?"

"I didn't look down on him, I just wanted to test that kid's attitude. How could I possibly look down on someone you approve of?"

Madam Zhao blinked and stared at him for a few seconds.

"Really? You agreed?"

Zhao Zhen thought to himself, what else could he do if he disagreed?

He can't afford to offend anyone right now!

"Haven't you always been the one calling the shots in this family?"

Does his opinion matter? No!

Madam Zhao then took his arm with satisfaction.

"Honey, it's getting late, let's go inside and rest."

Zhao Zhen sighed silently. When she was in a good mood, she would call him "husband"; when she was in a bad mood, she would call him "Old Deng"...

He's really having a tough time...
