......

The first meeting was a pleasant one for both host and guest.

The initial tension between the male and female fathers upon their first meeting quickly dissipated under Zhao Zheng's bold declaration of "male father" and "female father," along with a mountain of heartfelt gifts.

The subsequent progress was quite smooth.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

Zhao Zheng was indeed a very likable person. Without Greta saying anything, he had already made the Termite Clan Head and Greta's parents smile with joy.

After all, he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Human Federation; his rhetoric is... well, you know.

You can't disbelieve anything but the professional competence of our diplomatic practitioners.

I talked to my cousin about the international situation and cooperation policies.

Talk to my husband about finances and family.

I chatted with my father about poetry, songs, and the philosophy of life.

Knowing how to read people and how to tailor one's approach, effortlessly quoting classical texts—that's the mark of a professional diplomat who seems to know everything!

The male and female parents nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied with him.

Minister Greta sat leisurely to one side, legs crossed.

Unlike those couples who rack their brains to find topics to talk about with their partners and elders on their first visit, he only needed to observe Zhao Zheng's performance.

I picked up my teacup and took a sip of tea.

Yes, it's great.

Greta's parents talked to him at length about Greta's childhood and adolescence.

Zhao Zheng was incredibly supportive, clapping enthusiastically at everything he heard.

The father couldn't contain himself any longer and blurted out, "It's like beans are spilling out!"

"Our Greta has been very opinionated since he was a child. He also studies hard. While other insectoids are playing, he can sit in the study all day reading the Imperial Code and interstellar history. When asked why, he said he wants to be a diplomat in the future and needs to know the rules and history."

"When he was a child, some members of a fighting race bullied him and pushed him down, scraping his knees, but he didn't cry out once. He just dusted himself off and went home. The next day, he asked his cousin to bring his termite warriors to the school, and they beat up the whole class."

"I've always been incredibly good with my words since I was little. I never lost a debate in school when I was a kid. When I grew up, I was selected for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Everyone was surprised that someone from the termite tribe could get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later, Greta worked her way up to Minister of Foreign Affairs. People outside said that our termite ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke."

......

Zhao Zheng listened with great interest.

He wasn't faking it; he genuinely loved listening to it.

Every time he heard something about their family's pearls, he couldn't help but turn to look at them, filled with curiosity, as if through these narratives he was touching a past of his pearls that he had never been a part of but longed to understand.

Oh, if only he were as big as Pearl. Pearl must have been so cute when she was little.

Minister Greta felt a little embarrassed and pushed his head back.

The father and mother of the pearl are tacitly aware of each other's relationship.

Their intimacy was undeniable, and it seemed that Greta held a higher status in their household.

Zhao Zheng's genuine interest in Greta's past and his deep affection for her were more reassuring to the elders than any expensive gift or clever words.

This child truly loves Greta.

His family is well-off, he's very capable, and he's young. His family isn't a termite-infested household, and Zhao Zheng doesn't want anything from them.

In reality, if Zhao Zheng didn't want anything from their family, Greta wasn't a good match for him.

The age difference is twofold.

Honestly, if their son were thirty and found a seventy-year-old partner... well...

But he truly loves Greta and respects her.

True feelings may change in an instant, but there are also things that remain constant.

They believed their family's Greta would handle it.

Pearl's parents were very satisfied with Zhao Zheng; from this day forward, Zhao Zheng was their own son!

Oh, there might be some legal issues, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with my feelings!

......

The atmosphere in the living room was warm and harmonious.

Time always flies when you're having a good time.

The light outside the window gradually softened.

Zhao Zheng had completely relaxed. He felt that the three elders in front of him were much more kind and approachable than most parents.

Wow, termites are truly a divine race.

Greta's father-in-law was a great engineer. He told Zhao Zheng about a suspended structure building he had designed, and Zhao Zheng praised it highly.

They chatted until nearly four in the afternoon when Greta's father-in-law slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, look at me, I've been talking to Xiao Zhao the whole time and forgot that he hasn't settled in yet. Xiao Zhao, you must be tired after all this time, sitting in the living room for so long. Go and help Greta settle in and get some rest."

He turned to Greta, who had been sitting idly next to Zhao Zheng, and instructed, "Greta, take Zhao to see the room, unpack his luggage, and let him settle down and rest."

Minister Greta had been waiting for this, so she calmly put down her teacup and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Father."

That's all for now.

The newlyweds returned home and were kept in the living room by the in-laws, who wouldn't let them leave. Who can they complain to?
