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

"Oh, if you really like someone, age isn't a problem."

Song Qiulan held Lu Yang's hand, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye, much like someone looking at their future son-in-law.

"It's good that she's younger, and college students are great too. They're young and energetic. Our Xue'er is too busy with work and always has a serious face. We just need someone as lively as Xiao Lu."

Li Guoqing frowned, just like a stern old father.

"Xue'er is twenty-eight this year, eight years older than you. How did you meet?"

Before Li Xixue could come up with an excuse, Lu Yang preemptively replied, "When fate brings two souls together, nothing can stop it."

To be honest, he never believed in fate before.

But ever since he inexplicably got married to Li Xixue yesterday, he's come to believe that when fate comes, you can't stop it.

Li Guoqing was momentarily speechless.

Song Qiulan patted Lu Yang's hand:

"Yes, yes, who can say for sure about fate? She's eight years older than me, and she has everything! I feel at ease with Xiao Lu."

"By the way, when are you planning to get married? How many children do you plan to have?"

"???"

Li Xixue spat out the mouthful of tea she had just taken a sip of.

"Mom! What are you saying? We've only just begun."

Li Xixue took a tissue to wipe her mouth.

Although they had already registered their marriage, this question still came as a bit of a surprise.

I wonder what my parents' expressions will be when they find out I've already gotten my marriage certificate?

As for having children...

Thinking about this...

Li Xixue's cold and beautiful face suddenly flushed red.

Who would want to have a child with him!

Song Qiulan glared at her daughter and said irritably, "Isn't the purpose of dating to get married? Look at you, you're already twenty-eight. Aunt Wang next door's daughter's third child is already in kindergarten, and you haven't even brought a boyfriend home yet. You finally brought Xiao Lu home, so why don't you hurry up and get things done?"

"Besides, what's all the fuss about these days among young people? What's it called? Flash marriage! Yes, flash marriage!"

Song Qiulan was quite straightforward, asking Lu Yang, "By the way, Lu, what's your family situation? What do your parents do?"

Lu Yang didn't hide anything and answered directly, "I'm just an ordinary employee, and my family's financial situation is average."

Song Qiulan slapped her thigh: "The conditions are good enough! The conditions are good enough, but you can stay with us from now on. Auntie is telling you, as long as you marry Xue'er, we won't ask for a single penny of dowry!"

Lu Yang was stunned.

Song Qiulan continued to add to the offer: "Not only will there be no bride price, but Auntie will also prepare a large apartment in the city center for you. You can choose any car you like; Auntie will buy it for you."

Li Xixue was on the verge of tears, "Mom! Are you crazy?"

No matter what, she is a lady from a respectable family. It's too cheap for her mother to say that.

Not only do you not want a bride price, but you're even paying me out of your own pocket?

Even selling your daughter doesn't go this far!

"What? I'm crazy?"

Song Qiulan's voice suddenly trembled with tears as she said, "My best friend already has several grandchildren this year! She's always showing off in front of me, making me feel ashamed. And look at you, you're not getting any younger. Mom just wants to have a grandchild soon, is that wrong?"

Lu Yang gasped.

He had seen women demand exorbitant dowries, but he had never seen a woman so generously giving money away.

This isn't just looking for a son-in-law, it's practically attracting a god of wealth!

At that moment, the system's voice sounded again!

[Ding! Your mother-in-law's enthusiasm has overwhelmed you. Please grant her request to better maintain family harmony.]

Lu Yang was stunned when he saw the system notification.

What cars, houses...

Sometimes I suddenly realize that being a kept man isn't so bad.

After all, my stomach isn't very good!

I disagree.

Li Guoqing had a stern face.

"Marriage is not a game. How can a student who can't even support himself be responsible for Xue'er? Qiulan, don't join in the nonsense."

Song Qiulan's eyebrows shot up: "I'm making this up? You force our daughter to go on blind dates with those slick-haired rich kids every day, and none of them are as pleasing to the eye as Xiao Lu? I've got my eye on Xiao Lu."

"Besides, if he can't support himself, we'll support him!"

Lu Yang listened to the couple arguing and silently picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Li Xixue tugged at Lu Yang's sleeve and lowered her voice: "Say something! Quickly think of a way to make an excuse."

Lu Yang put down his teacup and looked at Li Guoqing: "Uncle is right. I have nothing now, but I have a heart that loves Xiaoxue."

Li Xixue: "???"

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly died.

Song Qiulan was overjoyed: "Old Li, did you hear that? This child knows how to talk! I've made the decision about this marriage, I agree!"

Li Guoqing did not respond to Song Qiulan's words.

He picked up his teacup and looked at Lu Yang with the same scrutinizing gaze Lu Yang had seen when he was called in for a talk with his teacher at school.

The difference is that the teacher called him in for a talk because he skipped class.

The reason this man is in front of us is because he married someone else's daughter.

"Xiao Lu, what's your major?" Li Guoqing asked.

"finance."

"How were your grades?"

"generally."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and added, "Occasionally I skip class."

Li Xixue glared at him fiercely from the side.

What do you mean by skipping class?

Wouldn't saying that make me look bad?

But Song Qiulan didn't think that way. Instead, she smiled and said:

"Young people, how can they not be lazy? My Xue'er used to skip classes to go out and play when she was in school."

"mom!"

The veins on Li Xixue's forehead throbbed. Why bring up something you shouldn't say?

Li Guoqing wasn't swayed and continued, "What are your plans after graduation?"

"Find a job first, take it slow."

Lu Yang was telling the truth.

Although he now has a system, he still has to take it one step at a time.

Li Guoqing put down his teacup and tapped the table twice with his fingers.

"Xiao Lu, I'm being blunt. You're still young and your future is uncertain. I don't object to you dating Xue'er, but talking about marriage... is too early."

Lu Yang nodded: "I understand."

However, they are now married.

He answered so quickly that Li Xixue didn't even have time to say the lines she had prepared.

Song Qiulan wanted to say a few more words, but Li Guoqing stopped her with a look.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Li Guoqing took out a purple clay teapot and began to brew tea.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Stay for dinner tonight. I'll ask the housekeeper to cook a few more dishes."

Song Qiulan's smile instantly returned: "Yes, yes, yes! Stay for dinner! Xiao Lu, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"I'm not picky about food, I eat everything," Lu Yang said.

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're not a picky eater. I'll ask Auntie to prepare more for you!"

Song Qiulan got up, humming a song as she walked towards the kitchen, looking as happy as a child.

There were only three people left in the living room.

Li Guoqing was busy brewing tea, while Li Xixue was drinking her tea with her head down, occasionally glancing at Lu Yang.

To be honest, Lu Yang's performance exceeded her expectations.

She thought Lu Yang would be nervous and might even slip up, but Lu Yang didn't flinch at all throughout the whole thing.

She didn't really want to use the phrase "neither humble nor arrogant" because it was too cliché.

To be precise, Lu Yang is just shameless.
