    Qin Sangsang never liked to listen to what Zhao Jingchuan said, so she hung up the phone after saying "Can you manage it?"

    Shu Li blinked helplessly.

    Zhao Jingchuan returned the phone.

    She took it uncomfortably, and asked in a low voice, "What if she goes?"

    Zhao Jingchuan said, "Leave her alone."

    When those three words were spoken, Shu Li could hear a sense of anger, which was similar to what Qin Sangsang said just now.

    She tilted her head to look at him, and smiled silently.

    For Shu Li, whether Qin Sangsang goes or not goes has both advantages and disadvantages.

    She is a treasure that can liven up the atmosphere. If there is a conflict between the two families sitting together for dinner, she can definitely settle it instantly with her ability.

    However, she is too noisy, sometimes scarier than a runaway wild horse, Shu Li is afraid that no one can control her.

    Zhao Jingchuan had to go to work in the hospital on Saturday, and Shu Li wasted time at home alone.

    She asked Qin Sangsang about Zhao Jingchuan's parents' preferences, and asked her what she needed to prepare for the trip, and what she needed to pay attention to tomorrow.

    Qin Sangsang said it casually, so don't worry, just be yourself as before. As for buying things with heart, it's absolutely fine.

    Her gentle and gentle little beauty type is definitely his parents' favorite.

    Shu Li got the key information - tenderness.

    So, the next day, she changed into an apricot-colored skirt, and her height of 168 was considered prominent among girls, so she didn't wear high heels, tied her hair up casually, put on light makeup, and went out with Zhao Jingchuan.

    After getting in the car, Shu Li worriedly sent a message to Mei Yunqing: Have you and Dad set off yet?

    Mei Yunqing took a photo and sent it to her. In the photo were two bottles of expensive red wine and two boxes of health drinks that were popular in the market. It seemed that the price was not cheap.

    Shu Li knew that this was the most precious gift that Shu Hailiang could give, not only for his own face, but also for her.

    Mei Yunqing is not used to typing, so she just sent a voice: "Your dad and I are coming soon, we will go in first when the time comes, have you and Xiao Zhao set off yet?"

    Shu Li told her: "We are going there. If there is no traffic jam, we can get there in ten minutes."

    "Okay, pay attention to safety, let Xiao Zhao drive slowly, don't worry."

    After finishing the conversation, Shu Li was in a good mood and repeated Mei Yunqing's words to Zhao Jingchuan who was driving: "My mother told you to drive slowly, don't worry."

    "I know." He nodded cooperatively, "Don't worry, she will take good care of her precious daughter."

    "..."

    When Shu Li heard the following address, his cheeks became hot, and he didn't respond to him again.

    Arrived downstairs at the agreed upon restaurant.

    Zhao Jingchuan got out of the car, picked up the things he had brought over, and walked in with her.

    The bellboy led them into the elevator.

    In the elevator, Shu Li thought about it, and naturally hooked his hand into his arm.

    When meeting parents, neither too close nor too distant.

    In this case, the distance is just right.

    Zhao Jingchuan just looked down and understood what she meant.

    The two walked to the door of the private room together, and before entering, they heard the happy laughter of the parents inside.

    Seeing Mei Yunqing and Shu Hailiang, Shu Li walked over obediently and called out to his parents, and then called out to Zhao Jingchuan's parents in the same way.

    Zhao Jingchuan put the things aside politely, and told them: "This is what Shu Li and I picked out for you respectively."

    Putting down his things and starting to eat, Shu Li found that several parents had already chatted with each other before they arrived, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.

    Li Lian kept staring at Shu Li, as if she couldn't get enough of it, and said to Mei Yunqing: "Shuli's name is the same as my surname, what a coincidence! Mother-in-law, your daughter is so beautiful, she looks so beautiful.She's also obedient and clever, I don't know where we Jingchuan are so lucky to be able to marry such a wife."

    "Indeed." Mei Yunqing likes to boast about herself, and never keeps a low profile. She stroked Shu Li's long hair and recalled with a smile, "It was okay when I was in school, but when it grows, it becomes more and more beautiful.Now, when she becomes a big girl, people chasing her will line up."

    "Mom." Shu Li said slightly dissatisfied, "How can you say so exaggeratedly, no one is chasing me."

    "Why not?" Mei Yunqing retorted with a serious face, "When I was in college, I went to school to help you move things, but that person didn't know that I was your mother, so I kept walking behind you and watched a handsome boy comeI asked you to get WeChat, but you just refused."

    Shu Li scratched his head helplessly, he couldn't say no to her, because it was indeed the truth.

    The corners of Zhao Jingchuan's lips curled slightly, and he echoed, "Yes, how could it not be?"

    Singing against her, Shu Li glanced at him sideways, wanting to ask him what he was up to.

    Mei Yunqing found a like-minded person, and she spoke more vigorously: "Look, don't you have one around you? But then again, you guys got married too hastily, and I was against it at first., and I don’t understand the thoughts of you young people, this kind of thing can’t be rushed, so it should be done slowly.”

    Li Lian listened to their conversation, sighed, and interjected: "I tried to persuade you, but I couldn't help it. In the final analysis, we Jingchuan didn't do a good job in this matter, and Shu Li was wronged, butNow that you have obtained the certificate, let's get engaged and buy the tickets first. It won't be too late for us to discuss the following things slowly, and everything that needs to be done will be done well."

    Shu Li thought that Li Lian deserved to be a person of high-level culture, and with a few words, the goose bumps in Shu Hailiang and Mei Yunqing's hearts disappeared.

    Zhao Yuping took a sip of tea, followed Li Lian's words and asked, "Shu Li, when do you want to hold the wedding?"

    "Wedding?" Shu Li had never thought about this question, and Zhao Jingchuan never mentioned it to her. She thought that their marriage that was not based on feelings would not hold a wedding, "I haven't thought about it yet."

    Wearing glasses, Li Lian looked very much like the dean of the school. She looked at Zhao Jingchuan sternly, with a questioning tone: "Have you discussed this topic with her?"

    Zhao Jingchuan paused for a while, and apologized in a low voice: "I didn't have time."

    In the eyes of their parents, they didn't know that they had just reunited for about a week, and they didn't spend much time together every day, so they naturally blamed Zhao Jingchuan for this mistake, and didn't believe his words at all.

    Shu Li bit her lower lip and tried to make amends for him: "I said a little bit, he may have forgotten. There is no rush for the wedding, winter is coming soon, I don't really want to hold a wedding in winter."

    "Then it will only be spring next year." Mei Yunqing calculated the time, "It's okay, half a year or so is enough time to prepare."

    Li Lian asked Zhao Jingchuan, "What's your opinion?"

    Zhao Jingchuan didn't give an exact answer, but said flatly, "We'll discuss it later when we go back."

    This time we meet, eating is the second priority, we will not eat much, and we are more familiar with each other and discussing things about them.

    As the center of their conversation, Shu Li just listened to them and rarely interrupted.

    She heard something about what happened to Zhao Jingchuan abroad.

    Li Lian said that he had a car accident abroad, which was quite serious. If a passerby hadn't passed by and rescued him, he would have died long ago.

    He has a less visible scar on the inside of his calf from the car accident.

    At that time, Zhao Jingchuan was only twenty-two years old, and he had been lying in the hospital for nearly half a year, which frightened her a lot.

    Shu Li's heart ached when he heard that, he stopped eating and bit his chopsticks.

    With a blank expression, he quickly imagined the scene at that time in his mind according to Li Lian's words.

    Li Lian also said that she was very harsh on him when he was a child, especially in the first two years when he went abroad. Because he was still young, he had never adapted to life abroad, and his grades could not keep up for a while, so she kept putting pressure on him.

    Later, after a car accident, she reflected on herself.

    Although he is still very strict with him from time to time, it is much better than before.

    As long as it is what he likes and wants, he will basically not block it.

    Shu Li couldn't imagine that the proud son of heaven, who had always been ranked at the top in Middle School South City, even failed to keep up with his grades abroad, what would Zhao Jingchuan be like at that time?

    She raised her head to look at him curiously, studied every expression on his face carefully, but she couldn't see the frustrated look that Li Lian said at all, she was still so calm, calm, and energetic, as if all the sufferings had become unbearable in front of him.worth mentioning.

    Shu Li found that there are still many things that they need to understand each other.

    It doesn't matter, life is still very long, she can take her time.

    After the meal, Shu Li took a bite of the watermelon that the waiter had just brought up, and heard Mei Yunqing bring up a topic: "Xiao Zhao is one year older than Shuli, right? That means he is now twenty-seven, one twenty-six, oneTwenty-seven, when do you plan to have children?"

    Hearing the word "children", Shu Li was stupefied. It might be because Qin Sangsang had questioned her about getting pregnant before marriage two days ago. Now that she was talking about this topic, she was no longer so embarrassed, but just a little helpless.

    Pregnancy seemed to be something a woman had to do, and everyone in the room except Zhao Jingchuan looked at her expectantly.

    Shu Li Xibai held the bitten watermelon with her fingers, and suddenly didn't know what to say, it seemed that this was not entirely up to her to decide.

    When we talked about your grandchildren, everyone was very excited.

    Li Lian said: "In our time, both of them were married late. I got pregnant with Jingchuan when I was 24 years old. It's actually quite good to get pregnant early. You recover quickly when you're young. After solving this matter earlyYou can also concentrate on your work. As for the issue of raising children, don’t be afraid of lack of experience, our economic level is not bad, and then we can hire a special nanny to help, so it will be easier.”

    Mei Yunqing agreed with Shu Li and said: "It's not a good thing to be too late. Some people who gave birth to their first child in their thirties are almost dying, and they can't be tortured. When they were twenty-seven or eight years oldChildbirth is the most suitable, your mother is still young, she can take care of you for a few years after birth, let you relax, think about it yourself."

    "..."

    Shu Li lowered his head and did not speak, his brows and eyes drooped, listening to them discussing these things, he was extremely embarrassed.

    The concept of the older generation is different from theirs. In their minds, they subconsciously think that she and Zhao Jingchuan will definitely have children, and the established process that has been handed down after so many years of marriage and childbirth is something everyone must abide by.

    So it's also something that doesn't require asking her permission.

    Zhao Yuping asked in a low voice, "Shu Li likes boys or girls?"

    Perhaps in their minds, it is the greatest respect to ask her first instead of Zhao Jingchuan.

    Shu Li opened his lips: "I..." thought of an answer casually, "It's a girl."

    Li Lian nodded and said: "The girl is not bad, don't tell me how envious I am of a beautiful little princess like Sang Sang. Both of you have good facial features, more delicate than many people, and your body is beautiful.The shape is also tall, and when the time comes, the daughter will not know how beautiful she will be."

    Mei Yunqing said, "Isn't this a coincidence? Our family is the opposite of yours. We have no son, only a precious daughter. I would like to have a white and chubby grandson to hug."

    Zhao Yuping: "If conditions permit, it is actually the best to have a boy and a girl. Make up a good word and let them have a companion. The best combination is the first son, second daughter, brother and sister.Ideal."

    Shu Li didn't say much from the beginning to the end.

    She has always felt that giving birth is a terrible thing. Not only is she pregnant in October, she suffers from body deformation, but also experiences the strongest level of pain in the world.

    Mei Yunqing seemed to be able to hear what was in her heart, and did not notice the gradually lowering air pressure around Zhao Jingchuan who had been silent all this time, so she continued on her own: "Nowadays many little girls are afraid of pain and don't like to have a second child. In fact, it's not that much.Terrible. With the development of society, the conditions are much better than before, and we have survived the hardships before, so what is it now?"

    "In the past, the conditions were poor and I didn't give birth, but now I can..." Li Lian wanted to continue, but she just opened her mouth, and before she could even utter a word, she was cut off by Zhao Jingchuan's sentence.

    "Have you said enough?"

    The air condenses for a moment.

    Time seemed to have stopped, and there was a moment of silence where no one dared to speak, and even their breathing eased a little.

    Zhao Jingchuan, who had never expressed any opinion from the beginning to the end, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice: "I married Shu Li not to let her bear me a child."

    Shu Li raised his eyes to look at him when he heard the sound, and found that he seemed to be in a bad mood, his face was quite ugly, and he didn't know when he became like this.

    This seemed to be the first time she had seen him angry up close.

    —It was for her.

    Li Lian knew that this was the prelude to his son losing his temper. Although he looked gentle on the surface, he didn't care about face when he got angry, even if it was Shu Li's parents sitting here.

    Fearing that the situation would get out of hand, she tried to suppress his inexplicable anger, and persuaded him aloud: "Jingchuan, don't get excited, we didn't mean that."

    "What does that mean?" Zhao Jingchuan looked at her sideways, questioning in his cold eyes, "When you are not married, you are urged to go on a blind date and get married. After you are married, you are urged to have a child. What are you going to do after you have given birth?Not enough babies, and we need to urge a second child, have you asked Shu Li for his opinion? Are we robots without our own minds that are manipulated by you at will?"

    For so many years, Mei Yunqing, who had not been refuted face to face at home, was different from Shu Hailiang's admiring eyes, and looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

    Li Lian and Zhao Yuping started to reflect on themselves, they really didn't take Shu Li's thoughts into consideration just now.

    Shu Li knew that Zhao Jingchuan was doing it for her own good, but the atmosphere was too tense now.

    She suppressed the surging emotions in her eyes, and carefully tugged on his sleeve, trying to make him stop talking.

    Parents' words, just listen to it as a deaf ear.

    What to do in the end depends on their own wishes anyway.

    Shu Li has long been used to it.

    But after all, they have different personalities and different ways of handling things.

    Even in front of his parents, Zhao Jingchuan couldn't bear to face some problems that went too far.

    In the end, the meal was a bit ugly, and everyone broke up unhappy.

    Zhao Jingchuan took Shu Li's hand and took her home.

    Shu Li deeply remembered the words he said before leaving——

    "The one who is pregnant is Shu Li, not my wife, not any of you here. She is the only one who can decide this matter. I know you have no malicious intentions, but please show some respect to my wife."
