He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

Sang Jiuning's mind went blank, and she was completely dazed.

The topic is jumping around way too fast!

One second they were talking about how she got pregnant, and the next second they jumped to tubal ligation? Her mind hadn't caught on at all, and she stared blankly at Wen Zhaoci, speechless for a long time.

Wen Zhaoci looked down at her blank gaze, his expression devoid of any hint of jest: "After this baby, we won't have any more."

He couldn't bear to see her suffer a second time.

Pregnancy is tough, morning sickness is unbearable, swelling and back pain occur in the later stages, and childbirth is even more physically and painful. Every time he searches for it, he feels heartbroken.

Also, it feels better without the headgear.

It took Sang Jiuning a while to process his words. She gently reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, nodding obediently, "Yes, I think so too. Two children are just right, a boy and a girl would be best, to make a perfect family."

Wen Zhaoci lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly spoke slowly: "Speaking of which, it's time to call my grandparents back."

Upon hearing this, Sang Jiuning's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief.

She suddenly lifted her head in his arms, her eyes filled with surprise and astonishment, and blurted out, "Your grandparents are still alive?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized how unlucky her words were, and hurriedly slapped her mouth, frantically trying to salvage the situation: "No, no! Ugh, ugh, ugh! My bad!"

Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly explained her confusion: "I've never heard you mention them at all. I thought... I thought your grandparents were long gone."

From dating to marriage, Wen Zhaoci had only mentioned her father and stepmother, never her grandparents, so she naturally misunderstood.

Wen Zhaoci was amused by her flustered and adorable appearance, and chuckled softly. He took out his phone, opened a WeChat video call, and said in a light tone, "I've been so busy spoiling you that I forgot to tell them. The two old folks should be traveling in Egypt right now, having a great time."

The video call was made as soon as he finished speaking.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet mesmerizing ringtone rang out in the quiet room.

It's him! It's him! It's our friend, Nezha!

To my utter surprise, Wen Zhaoci's grandparents' WeChat ringtone was this!

The video call was connected after only a few rings.

Two elderly people with full heads of silver hair and full of energy immediately squeezed out of the screen. The old man and the old woman had their heads close together, squeezed into the small screen, and looked particularly cute.

Before Wen Zhaoci could speak, Grandma Wen raised an eyebrow and said crisply, "Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Grandpa Wen, standing nearby, was even more direct, his voice booming: "Spit it out! Your grandma and I are looking at mummies, we don't have time for pleasantries."

Sang Jiuning hid in Wen Zhaoci's arms, secretly peeking through her eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart: These grandparents' personalities are so cool and interesting!

Wen Zhaoci remained calm, showing no emotion whatsoever in front of his two lively elders, and said lightly, "I have a girlfriend."

Grandma Wen sneered on the spot, her face full of knowing smiles, and said in a mocking tone, "It's not like we're seriously getting married."

Grandpa Wen immediately chimed in, playing along flawlessly, a perfect double act: "If you're so capable, just get your marriage certificate! Stop fooling us with empty promises every year!"

They had long been used to their grandson being aloof and taciturn, and that no one paid any attention to him.

Wen Zhaoci remained calm and dropped a bombshell: "We've already registered our marriage; we're legally married."

The two elderly people on the other side of the screen were instantly speechless.

A few seconds later, Grandma Wen spoke slowly, her tone tinged with disdain and helplessness: "You're so old to be getting a marriage certificate now, it's definitely late marriage, aren't you ashamed?"

Grandpa Wen followed up with a sarcastic remark, his tone both weathered and humorous: "Late marriage is one thing, but if you delay having children for a few more years, we might as well just go to our graves and not wait for you to hold the baby."

Sang Jiuning nestled in Wen Zhaoci's arms, her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter.

These grandparents are hilarious! Their back-and-forth banter is full of witty remarks!

Just as the two elderly people were complaining, Wen Zhaoci spoke up again: "No need to wait anymore, my wife is pregnant."

Those six words instantly captivated the entire audience.

The two elderly people on the screen instantly changed their expressions.

Grandma Wen, who had just been complaining and wearing a haughty, disdainful expression, immediately straightened her back and said rapidly, "Wait! We'll pack our things right away!"

Grandpa Wen was even more decisive: "My flight is early tomorrow morning, I'm going back immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was abruptly disconnected without a single extra word being spoken.

The room instantly fell silent.

Wen Zhaoci put down his phone and looked down at the little girl in his arms, whose eyes were crinkling with laughter.

Sang Jiuning's mind was filled with the scenes from the video, and she was incredibly curious.

She never expected that the aloof and reserved Wen Zhaoci would have such a pair of lively, adorable, cheerful grandparents who could even banter and sing in duo style.

After hanging up the video call, the two elderly people excitedly embraced and raised their feet in celebration in front of the Egyptian pharaoh's mummy, dancing like shamans for three minutes.

Today, Grandpa and Grandma Wen came all the way from Egypt, accompanied by Aunt Chen, who has been taking care of them.

As soon as Sang Jiuning entered the living room, before she could even greet them, Grandma Wen quickly came to greet her, her face full of kind and warm smiles, her eyes never leaving Sang Jiuning's face for a moment.

"Oh my, this must be my wonderful granddaughter-in-law!" Grandma Wen held Sang Jiu Ning's hand, her palm warm, and carefully examined her, her eyes overflowing with affection. "She's so beautiful and delicate, so fair and clean, just looking at her makes me want to be with her. Here, Ning Ning, this is a gift from Grandma to you."

Sang Jiuning felt a slight warmth in her heart, and pursed her lips shyly, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Grandpa Wen, who was standing nearby, also came over. He grinned, showing off his perfectly aligned teeth, and his smile was particularly kind and gentle, with his eyes full of satisfaction.

"That's right, that's right. This little girl looks so well-behaved and lovable, gentle and quiet. Only our Aci is worthy of such a good girl."

Grandpa Wen spoke with great pride, as if he had found a priceless treasure. "Come here, Ningning, this is a gift from Grandpa to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Wen picked up an exquisite brocade box and took out a heavy imperial green jadeite bracelet.

Before Sang Jiuning could refuse, she put the ring on Sang Jiuning's wrist.

The cool, delicate texture of the jade instantly touched her skin, spreading a cool warmth along her skin. The bracelet was the perfect size, fitting Sang Jiuning's wrist perfectly, heavy and carrying a genuine, heartfelt sentiment.

Sang Jiuning looked down at the bright green wristband, her heart softening.

Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Wen raised his hand to signal Chen Ma, who immediately brought over a small black solid wood box. It looked quite heavy and made a slight thud when it landed, clearly indicating that it was full of things.

Sang Jiuning's eyes widened slightly, and she was secretly amazed. Her grandparents were too kind; they gave such a generous gift when they first met.
