A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Sudden?

Li Guoqing frowned, then pushed up his glasses: "What's so sudden about this? You've been living together for so long, and your parents haven't even officially met yet. Is that reasonable?"

Li Xixue was stunned.

To be honest, this is indeed a problem.

She and Lu Yang were both drunk when they got their marriage certificate. Although they explained some things to their families afterward, their parents had never actually sat down for a meal together.

But the problem is-

Now?

At this critical juncture?

She glanced at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was also looking at her.

Their eyes met, and they both read the same meaning from each other's faces.

Try to stall for a while!

"Dad, should we reconsider this matter..."

Before Li Xixue could finish speaking, Li Guoqing interrupted her directly. His tone was flat, but his words carried weight: "You two are living together now. What if she's really pregnant? The parents haven't even met yet. What will people think if word gets out? You may not care about your reputation, but I do."

Li Xixue pursed her lips.

Song Qiulan, who was sitting on the side, could no longer sit still. She rubbed her hands together and her eyes darted back and forth between Li Guoqing and Lu Yang.

"I think Lao Li is right. We should meet when it's time. Dragging it out won't work. Besides, you've already spoken to each other last time. How about this, let Xiao Yang choose the date, and then our two families can meet and have a meal together."

Li Xixue gave Lu Yang a wink.

Lu Yang wanted to say something more.

But Li Guoqing was no longer giving him that chance.

"That's settled then, the date is set for this weekend."

Li Guoqing picked up his cane and stood up.

Li Xixue finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Dad, this weekend is too rushed."

Li Guoqing adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

"What's the rush? Your home is in Linjiang, and his home is in Linjiang too. We're all in the same city, so what's the rush? Or do you have some reason why you can't meet?"

Having exhausted all other options, Li Xixue could only turn her attention to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang returned a glance.

That look probably meant: I'm helpless too.

"Dad, Lu Yang hasn't discussed this with the family yet. This is too sudden."

"Then let's talk about it today."

Li Guoqing tapped his cane on the ground.

"It's just a phone call, what's so difficult about that? If it really doesn't work, I'll send a driver to pick them up."

Upon hearing this...

Li Xixue's lips twitched.

Lu Yang's temples throbbed twice.

Song Qiulan could no longer sit still; she couldn't hide the excitement on her face.

"Xiaoyang, do your parents have any dietary restrictions? I'd like to make arrangements in advance."

"what?"

What kind of food do your parents like to eat? Sichuan or Cantonese? Are there any dishes they don't eat? Are they allergic to seafood?

Lu Yang was stumped by the question.

It's not even decided yet, and the mother-in-law is already thinking about the menu?

"Auntie, could we please...?"

"What did you call me?"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

Song Qiulan looked at him and smiled.

"What time is it? You're still calling me 'Auntie'?"

"Alright, alright, let's talk about this when we meet."

Li Guoqing came to Lu Yang's rescue.

Song Qiulan pursed her lips, but did not object.

Li Xixue sat in her office chair, one hand supporting her forehead.

She has given up struggling.

Ultimately, her father is the kind of person who, once he makes a decision, won't change it.

She knew this all too well.

Moreover, Li Guoqing is right. The two of them are living together, but their parents have never even met, which is indeed unreasonable.

But she still felt that all of this had happened too fast.

I took a pregnancy test this morning, and we're arranging for both sets of parents to meet this afternoon.

What kind of speed is that?

Li Guoqing picked up his cane and prepared to walk out.

Suddenly, he paused and turned to look at Lu Yang.

"Xiaoyang, talk to your parents and give me an answer in the next couple of days."

"it is good."

Lu Yang answered with a single word.

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to agree.

Li Guoqing hummed in agreement and prepared to leave.

He paused briefly as he passed by Li Xiaochen.

Li Xiaochen curled up into a ball.

Li Guoqing glanced at him.

"When are you going to dye your hair back?"

"I think it looks pretty good..."

Li Xiaochen subconsciously touched his blond hair: "And it's the most popular color this year..."

Li Guoqing raised his hand, holding up his cane, ready to give him a beating.

Li Xiaochen quickly said, "Dad, I'll dye it back in a couple of days!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqing put down his cane and walked outside, leaning on it.

Song Qiulan stood up, picked up the thermos, and glanced back at Li Xixue before leaving.

"Finish your soup."

Li Xixue remained silent.

Song Qiulan didn't say anything more and went out with Li Guoqing.

The office suddenly became empty.

All that was left were Li Xixue, Lu Yang, and Li Xiaochen, who was huddled in the corner of the sofa pretending to be dead.

Li Xiaochen peeked out from behind the cushion and cautiously glanced at Li Xixue.

Li Xixue sat in her office chair, her hands resting on the armrests, her expression blank.

This blank expression is even more unsettling than anger.

Li Xiaochen swallowed.

"Sis, I'm leaving too..."

He turned around, just about to leave.

Suddenly a voice called out to him.

"stop!"

A voice came.

Li Xiaochen lifted her foot, then put it down again.

He slowly turned around and forced a stiff smile.

"Sister... is there anything else? If you are, how about we talk another day?"

Li Xixue didn't say anything, she just looked at him.

You should know that all of this started because of that damn blond guy.

If it weren't for him, none of this mess would have happened.

Li Xiaochen's smile vanished instantly.

At that moment, all he wanted was to get out of this troublesome place as quickly as possible.

"Sis... don't be impulsive. Let me explain. This really isn't my fault."

"..."

Li Xixue remained silent.

Li Xiaochen was in a dilemma.

He really wanted to leave.

But Li Xixue's gaze made his legs go weak instantly.

"Sis... hit me if you want, yell at me if you want, but don't look at me like that, it scares me."

"You're still afraid?"

Li Xixue spoke calmly, her tone revealing a hint of danger.

"..."

Having no other choice, Li Xiaochen shifted her gaze from Li Xixue and quickly looked at Lu Yang.

That look in his eyes could be summed up in two words: Help!

Lu Yang leaned against the side, looking at Li Xiaochen, without saying a word.

This blond guy really has to take the blame for today's mess.

Li Xiaochen finally couldn't help but move her mouth twice: "Brother-in-law, save me."

Lu Yang spoke directly: "Xiao Chen, there are some things you'll have to handle yourself."

Li Xiaochen: "..."

Lu Yang's meaning was clear: he didn't want to get involved anymore.

Li Xiaochen glanced at Li Xixue again, whose expression remained cold and silent.

This kind of coldness is even more unbearable than hitting or scolding him.

Li Xiaochen's face fell.

"But brother-in-law, I can't take it!"
