Mom Called on Video Early in the Morning

The next morning.

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

After having a late-night snack and coaxing his daughter to sleep last night, he had not gone to bed until two or three in the morning. Severely sleep-deprived, he groggily answered the WeChat video call from his mother.

"Son~ are you up yet? Didn't you go to interview at Chaofan Group yesterday? Why didn't you send Mom a WeChat message last night? How did the interview go?"

"Son? Are you still asleep?"

"Mhm..." Su Chen answered vaguely with his eyes closed. His hand tilted slightly, and the camera suddenly turned toward the side.

Though it only flashed by for a moment, Su's Mother immediately saw that a long-haired girl was lying beside her son!

Su's Mother froze briefly, then looked at Su Chen with delighted surprise.

She even gave a meaningful little cough. "Ahem, son, last night..."

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

Yan Bingxue was lying right beside him!

His hand twitched, and he was about to end the call, but when he turned his head, he found that Yan Bingxue had somehow already awakened. Her beautiful eyes were open as she lay on her side and looked at him curiously.

Su Chen paused, then switched the camera to the rear-facing one and aimed it at the ceiling.

He said directly, "Mom, I'm already this old. Could you call at a different time next time? Your son sleeps without clothes on. It wouldn't be good if you accidentally saw something you shouldn't!"

Yan Bingxue was completely awake by then. Hearing that the person on the other end was Su Chen's mother, she could not help feeling nervous. She had planned to fix her hair and make herself look a little more presentable, but then she heard Su Chen say that.

Did he not want his mother to know she existed?

But they were already married. Could it be that Su Chen still had not accepted her?

Yan Bingxue pressed her pink lips together, her eyes lowering slightly.

Hearing her son, Su's Mother said with a chuckle, "Yes, yes, yes~ Mom called at the wrong time, haha. Son, I won't disturb you anymore. Call me back when it's convenient~ Bye-bye, son!"

Su's Mother hung up, and Su Chen could not help smiling.

His mother must have seen something just now, or she would not have hurriedly ended the call like that.

But he truly had not expected her to video call so early. He had not even figured out how to tell her that he was married and had two children!

After ending the call, Su's Mother hurriedly carried her phone into the study and said happily to Su's Father, "Old Su, I told you! I heard magpies chirping this morning, so there had to be great news! Haha, I was right."

Su's Father was practicing calligraphy. Hearing that, he asked, "What great news? Did our son pass the interview?"

"Oh dear, I forgot to ask about that!" Su's Mother smacked her forehead in annoyance.

Su's Father looked at her helplessly and smiled. "Wasn't that why you video called him?"

"Yes! But didn't I discover even bigger news?"

Su's Mother was grinning from ear to ear. Looking mysteriously at Su's Father, she said, "Hehe, I video called just now and saw a long-haired beauty sleeping beside our son!"

Su's Father's hand trembled, leaving a large blot of ink on the rice paper. "What? Our Chenchen has a girlfriend?"

Su's Mother smiled smugly. "They were sleeping together, so they must have been together for quite some time. That brat actually kept it from us!"

"Did you see the girl's face? Didn't you get to speak with her?" Su's Father put down his brush and asked excitedly.

"No! Our son was probably half-asleep and forgot someone was beside him. The camera only shook for a moment. I didn't get a good look at what she looked like, but I saw her long hair and fair skin. She must be a pretty girl~"

"Our son was probably a little embarrassed, so he immediately switched the camera. He even told me he was grown up now, that it wasn't convenient to video call so early in the morning, and that he slept without clothes on. Hehe! I think it's because our future daughter-in-law was beside him~"

Su's Father rubbed his hands excitedly, unable to hide his delight. "Wonderful~ Honey, our son has graduated from university. It's time for him to find someone. A man should settle down and build his career—family first, career second. If we help him out a little, maybe we'll soon be holding grandchildren, haha!"

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

Su's Mother teased Su's Father, but she herself could not stop the joy from showing on her face.

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

Su's Father thought for a moment and shook his head. "Let's wait! We can't rush this. Our son is grown up now, so he must know what he's doing. Once he says the word, we'll head over immediately with the money we've saved. Then we'll buy him a house and bring our daughter-in-law home!"

Su Chen was fully awake by then. Scratching his messy bird's-nest hair, he turned to Yan Bingxue and said, "Did that wake you up? My mom's getting older, and she gets up really early every day. She often calls first thing in the morning. I was so sleepy that I forgot you were here!"

Yan Bingxue shook her head, forcing a fleeting smile.

"It's fine."

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly looked up at Su Chen with a serious expression.

"Su Chen, we're already married."

"Huh? Yeah!" Su Chen blinked at her blankly.

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

Su Chen caught the brief flash of emotion that had crossed her face, and understanding suddenly dawned on him.

So Yan Bingxue thought he was deliberately hiding her from his mother?

This girl was quite sensitive about such things!

Su Chen smiled and said brightly, "Meet them! Of course you should meet them!"

"But definitely not like just now. When you meet them, it'll be as the mother of my children. We'll take Tuantuan and Lele with us, you'll dress properly, and we'll bring gifts home together to meet them!"

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 below her shoulders.

If she had really met her future mother-in-law looking like this just now, it would have been mortifying!

Yan Bingxue blushed and immediately pulled up the blanket, hiding her entire body beneath it.

Su Chen laughed. "Good morning~ I'll go wash up first!"

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

As he brushed his teeth in front of the mirror, Su Chen could not help imagining bringing Yan Bingxue, Tuantuan, and Lele home. When his parents learned that he had a daughter-in-law and a pair of three-year-old Dragon-Phoenix twins, they would surely be blown away with surprise!

Given his mother's personality, she might be so excited on the spot that she would not know what to do~

He naturally had to witness such a wonderful scene with his own eyes.

So he would personally tell his parents this good news!
