Spoiled Sparrow

"Marry my ass!"

Lin Yun'en pulled her foot back and slapped his leg: "I don't want to get married so early!"

A flicker of panic crossed Dong Chenye's eyes: "What, am I not good enough for you?"

They met through a blind date arranged by their elders. They were clearly a good match, and everyone was happy with each other. What was wrong with them?

"You're a perfect match, a match made in heaven. But marriage means having children, and I don't want that."

Dong Chenye laughed and said, "Who's pressuring you to have children? If it really doesn't work out, we can get married and you can just tell them I can't."

Lin Yun'en was amused by Dong Chenye: "Don't you men all care about this?"

As long as Lin Yunen is happy, he doesn't care what others think of him.

It's just an excuse anyway.

Dong Chenye straightened up and began to dress: "Everything is up to you. If you don't want to get married, we can talk about it first."

As long as I don't break up with him, I'm willing to date him for a lifetime.

"Hey, why does your mouth taste sweeter after a night's sleep?" She put on her shoes, walked over, and hugged his back. "Did you sneak some candy last night?"

"Stealing what? No, I didn't."

Lin Yun'en tilted her head and pinched his abs: "Just kidding, why are you so nervous?"

"Uh-huh."

Lin Yun'en's toothbrush was still in her mouth when her phone rang again.

She thought it was her grandfather urging her again: "Soon, soon, I'll be back soon."

"It's me," Zhang Yao's indifferent voice came through the receiver.

"Excuse me, Officer Zhang, I thought it was my grandfather."

The voice on the other end said helplessly, "Your grandfather is at my house, you'd better come over soon."

"What?!"

Lin Yun'en let out a huge exclamation, and Dong Chenye, who was outside the bathroom, immediately rushed to her side.

Zhang Yao on the other end of the phone had to move the earpiece further away: "Anyway, it seems your grandfather and my grandfather have misunderstood something. Come over and explain it clearly."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yun'en lay back down on the bed, feeling utterly exhausted. "This is getting more and more complicated. All I wanted was a key!"

She rubbed her hair, pulled the blanket over her face, and shut herself off.

The thing she hated most since she was a child was dealing with her elders; it felt like it was taking her life.

Seeing her like this, Dong Chenye turned around and went to the balcony.

"Hey son, what's wrong so early in the morning?"

A clear female voice came from the other end of the line, clearly delighted that he was calling.

Dong Chenye got straight to the point: "Mom, are you and Dad free today? I need your help with something."

Deng Wen's voice suddenly became cautious: "What's wrong, son? Did something happen at the hospital?"

Her son has been independent since he was a child and has his own thoughts.

Instead of inheriting the family fortune, he insisted on studying medicine, taking several years longer than others to complete his studies.

Even though graduating with a medical doctorate is so difficult, I've never seen him contact his family.

Could it be that he's encountered a life-or-death situation that his father needs to handle?

"Mom, what are you thinking? Your son is a law-abiding citizen with medical ethics."

Deng Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice immediately perked up again: "Then tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"

Dong Chenye: "Get the dowry, RV, and car ready. I'm going to meet my girlfriend's family today."

"What?!"

Deng Wen immediately stood up, startling the secretary outside the office.

"You brat, why didn't you wait until the baby was born before telling your mother?!"

"Is this acceptable? You only tell me about something this important at the last minute?"

Despite her words, Deng Wen had already gone to several secretaries to make arrangements.

Dong Chenye explained, "I only found out about this today. You and Dad should come over quickly, and I'll send you the location."

"Hey, hey, hey, which family's girl is she?"

Lin Yun'en was urging him from inside the house, so he hung up the phone after saying those three words.

As he entered the house, Lin Yun'en was already wearing her shoes and waiting for him at the door. How happy he would be if she were always there to wait for him in the days to come.

*

On the other end of the phone, Deng Wen hung up and asked her secretary to arrange for the vice president to attend today's meeting in her place.

Wearing high heels, she hurriedly crossed the company building, walked to the door of her husband's office, and pushed it open.

"Dong Yu, get up and come with me."

Startled by her loud voice, Dong Yu accidentally pressed the cancel button.

He looked up and said, "Don't call me by my name at the company, address me as General Manager Dong."

It's a testament to Deng Wen's good temper that she didn't throw her bag in his face.

She went over and pulled him up from the chair: "Mr. Dong, if you keep dawdling, your grandson will be walking by now."

Dong Yu immediately stood up: "What do you mean?"

Deng Wen summarized Dong Chenye's phone call in three sentences, crossing her arms: "In short, your son is going to marry a girl named Lin Yun'en, and he wants us to prepare the bride price."

Dong Yu burst into laughter, almost falling backward from laughing.

"Really? I need to call Xiao Chen to confirm, just in case there's a misunderstanding."

Deng Wen, supporting his waist, asked, "You knew?"

While explaining, Dong Yu searched for Fu Chen's phone number on his phone.

"This girl was introduced by Chen Ye's good brother, Fu Chen from the Fu family. They've been friends since they were little."

She was said to be the only granddaughter of Old Master Lin, a scholarly family, and very well-educated. They arranged a blind date for the two of them, but Chen Ye never mentioned it. I thought he hadn't gone to meet her again. I really didn't expect this.

Deng Wen: "Oh, I see. Why didn't you tell me?"

"You spend 364 out of 365 days a year focused on your work. Where would you find the time to manage your son's marriage? Only I, the incompetent General Manager Dong, have the time to handle it."

Deng Wen was speechless. She pointed to her phone and said, "It's connected."

Dong Yu's smile deepened the wrinkles around his eyes: "Xiao Chen, your uncle has a question for you. Is that young lady from the Lin family dating Chen Ye...?"

Inside the castle, Fu Chen, who was lying next to Ruan Qing, took the phone and went to another room.

His voice was hoarse: "Yes, that's right."

"Oh my, Xiao Chen, you've really solved a huge problem for your uncle! Don't worry, your uncle will definitely bring you a big red envelope when you get married!"

......

Even though Dong Yu and Deng Wen's voices were separated by a room, their penetrating power was still incredibly strong.

Ruan Qing, who was a light sleeper, turned to her side, put one leg on the blanket, blinked, and sneezed.

Hearing the noise, the man said a few words, then hung up the phone and came out.

Her voice was incredibly gentle: "Are you feeling unwell? Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Ruan Qingzhen thought she had seen a ghost while sleeping; this man's attitude was really unpredictable.

She rolled over and rested her head on his lap: "It's alright, maybe my immunity has dropped, I'll be fine after some rest."

Fu Chen suddenly remembered Dong Chenye's words.

[My body is too weak; it won't be able to handle pregnancy later.]

"From now on, I'll give you a nourishing soup every day."

Ruan Qing felt nauseous at the thought of those medicinal dishes: "Ugh, forget it, you can keep them for yourself."

Fu Chen squinted, his voice rising at the end: "Do I need to get it fixed?"
