“Su Xiaomeng, about that night—”
One sentence from Yin Shixiu and her world tilts.
He’s her best friend’s thirty-two-year-old uncle, a man whose name opens every door in the city, and the last person she wants to tangle with.
“Uncle, look—you weren’t thinking straight and I was blackout drunk. Let’s just pretend it never happened, okay?”
“…Fine.”
Three months later he discovers—via an excited niece—that Su Xiaomeng is pregnant.
“The moment the baby’s born, you let me leave. No more hounding me!”
“…Fine.”
He signs the marriage contract she writes herself.
“Uncle, I need spicy hot pot at midnight…”
“…Fine.”
He’s out the door in the snow, gathering ingredients until his fingers turn blue.
“Uncle, I’m scared. He’s kicking so hard—it hurts…”
“Alright, alright—no more babies after this.”
On the eve of delivery, he strokes her back, whispering promises until her breathing steadies.

Then he casually called out, "Dad, Mom..."


The two white-haired elderly in their seventies in front of him were Yin Shixiu's parents, the current head and lady of the Yin Family.


Su Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment after hearing Yin Shixiu.


Her immediate response was to step back towards the door!


Just as she took a step back, her arm was grabbed, and in an instant, she was pulled back to where she was.


"You'll have to meet them sooner or later, why run?"


Sooner or later she has to meet them...


Su Xiaomeng blinked, not quite understanding the meaning of these words, and was already pulled into the room.


At this point, if she thought of backing up again... it would seem awkward.


So this little one had no choice but to brace her nerves and follow closely beside Yin Shixiu. She forced a grin and called out to the two white-haired but healthy-looking elders, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
