The next morning.

Su Chen was woken from his sleep by a ringing sound.

He had eaten a late-night snack and then coaxed his daughter to sleep, finally getting to bed around two or three in the morning. He was severely sleep-deprived now, and groggily answered the WeChat video call from his mother.

"Son~ Are you awake yet? Didn't you go for an interview at Chaofan Group yesterday? Why didn't you text me last night? How did the interview go?"

"Son? Are you still sleeping?"

"Mm..." Su Chen mumbled sleepily with his eyes closed. His hand shifted, and the camera's direction suddenly turned to the side.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, his mother immediately recognized a long-haired girl lying next to her son!

Su Chen's mother paused slightly, then looked at Su Chen with a surprised and delighted expression.

She even cleared her throat as if to remind him, "Ahem, son, last night you..."

Su Chen suddenly woke up, abruptly remembering what had happened yesterday.

Yan Bingxue was lying right next to him!

His hand trembled as he thought about ending the video call, but when he turned his head, he saw that Yan Bingxue had woken up at some point. She was looking at him with her beautiful eyes open, her body turned sideways, watching him curiously.

Su Chen paused his actions, then switched the camera to the rear-facing one, pointing it at the ceiling.

He said directly, "Mom, I'm grown up now. Can you please call at a different time next time? I'm sleeping without clothes. What if you accidentally see something you shouldn't, wouldn't that be bad!"

Yan Bingxue was completely awake now. Hearing that it was Su Chen's mother on the other end of the video, she felt a surge of nervousness. She had intended to tidy her hair and make herself presentable, but she hadn't expected Su Chen to say those words the next moment.

Did he not want his mother to know about her existence?

But they were already married. Could it be that Su Chen still hadn't accepted her?

Yan Bingxue pursed her lips, her eyebrows slightly drooping.

Su Chen's mother heard her son's words and chuckled, "Yes, yes~ It was Mom calling at the wrong time, haha. Son, then Mom won't disturb you. Call me back when you're free~ Bye, son!"

Su Chen's mother hung up the phone, and Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

It seemed his mother had seen something just now, otherwise, she wouldn't have hung up so hastily.

However, he really hadn't expected his mother to call him so early via video. He hadn't figured out how to tell his mother that he was already married with two children!

After hanging up, Su Chen's mother quickly took her phone and ran to the study, happily telling Su Chen's father, "Old Su, I told you I heard magpies calling this morning. It must be great news! Haha, it really was."

Su Chen's father, who was practicing calligraphy, asked, "What great news? Did our son pass the interview?"

"Oh, I forgot to ask about that!" Su Chen's mother hit her forehead in annoyance.

Su Chen's father gave her a helpless look and smiled, "Didn't you call the video to ask about your son's interview?"

"Yes! But didn't I discover even greater news!"

Su Chen's mother was so happy she couldn't close her mouth. She looked at Su Chen's father and said mysteriously, "Hehe, when I called just now, I saw a long-haired beauty sleeping next to our son!"

Su Chen's father's hand trembled, leaving a large ink stain on the Xuan paper, "What? Our Chen Chen has a girlfriend?"

Su Chen's mother smiled proudly, "They're sleeping together, so they must have been together for a while. That brat, actually hiding this from us!"

"Did you see the girl? You couldn't talk to her just now?" Su Chen's father put down his brush, asking with a happy expression.

"No! Our son was probably groggy and didn't realize someone was next to him. The camera just flickered, and I didn't get a clear look at what the girl looked like, just saw long hair and very fair skin. She must be a beautiful girl~"

"Our son was probably a bit embarrassed and immediately cut the camera. He even told me he'd grown up and that it was inconvenient to video call early in the morning, saying he was sleeping without clothes, heh heh heh! I think he has a daughter-in-law next to him~"

Su Chen's father excitedly rubbed his hands, his face unable to hide his excitement, "That's great~ Wife, our son has graduated from university now, and it's time for him to find a partner. A man should establish himself after settling down, first settle down then establish himself. We'll help out from the side, and maybe we'll be holding our grandson soon, haha!"

"You old man, you're dreaming even bigger than me, haha~"

Su Chen's mother teased Su Chen's father, but she couldn't help but beam with joy herself.

"Old Su, do you think we should go visit our son and meet our future daughter-in-law?"

Su Chen's father thought for a moment and shook his head, "Let's wait! We can't rush this. Our son has grown up now and will surely act with discretion. Once our son says the word, we'll go immediately. We'll bring the money we've saved, and then we can buy our son a house and bring his bride home!"

Meanwhile, on Su Chen's side, he had fully woken up. He scratched his messy, bird's-nest-like hair and turned to look at Yan Bingxue, "Did I wake you? My mom is getting old and wakes up very early. She often calls early in the morning. I was groggy and forgot you were here!"

Yan Bingxue shook her head, pulling at the corners of her mouth to reveal a fleeting smile.

"It's fine."

She thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, looking at Su Chen with a serious expression.

"Su Chen, we're already married."

"Huh? Yes!" Su Chen blinked in confusion.

"Since we're already husband and wife, I think... shouldn't I also go visit Uncle and Auntie?"

Su Chen caught the fleeting hint of emotion in her expression just now, and a thought suddenly struck him.

So, Yan Bingxue had felt like he was deliberately hiding her from his mother just now?

This little girl was quite sensitive with her thoughts!

Su Chen smiled and said heartily, "Meet them! Of course, we'll meet them!"

"But we definitely can't see them like just now. If we're going to see them, it'll be as the mother of my children. We'll take Tuantuan and Lele, you'll be dressed impeccably, and we'll bring gifts and go home to see them together!"

Hearing Su Chen's words, Yan Bingxue looked down at her clothes and only then realized that after sleeping all night, her silk pajamas had already slipped down off her shoulders.

In this state, if she had actually met his future mother-in-law just now, she would have been mortally embarrassed!

Yan Bingxue's face flushed, and she immediately pulled the covers up, hiding her entire body.

Su Chen laughed heartily, "Good morning~ I'm going to wash up first!"

With that, he jumped out of bed, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and went straight into the bathroom.

Brushing his teeth in front of the mirror, Su Chen couldn't help but think about bringing Yan Bingxue, Tuantuan, and Lele home. When his parents knew he had a daughter-in-law and a pair of three-year-old twins, they would surely be ecstatic!

Knowing his mother's personality, she might even be so excited she wouldn't know what to do on the spot~

He naturally wanted to witness such a beautiful scene himself.

That's why he wanted to deliver the good news to his parents in person!
