Yan Bingxue's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing this, and her lips pressed together.
Her voice lost its earlier gentleness and excitement. "Mom, let's talk about this later."
Tang Shuyun's joy seemed to be somewhat extinguished. She thought of something and immediately clenched her fists in annoyance.
She had been too hasty. When excited, she tended to say the wrong thing.
"Xue'er, are you worried about your father's side... Actually, Mom thinks..."
"Mom, that's enough. I went to Yangcheng today and I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep. We'll talk about this another time."
Tang Shuyun sighed softly and said, "Alright, then get some rest. Honey, don't just focus on work. Take care of yourself, and take care of your son-in-law. We have plenty of time. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Mom." Yan Bingxue hung up the phone, lowering her head, feeling a little dejected.
Her marriage to Su Chen had been so sudden, and she hadn't thought much about it. She didn't know how her father would react when the time came...
Creak.
The bathroom door opened, and Yan Bingxue immediately turned her head.
Su Chen emerged from the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, the collar open wide, faintly revealing his firm chest muscles.
His short black hair was still wet, and he was wiping it with a towel, water droplets sliding down his hair.
Hiss~
What a picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath.
Yan Bingxue thought of the novel she had just read and suddenly felt an impulse to make the "raw rice into cooked rice"!
However, she and Su Chen already had Tuantuan and Lele. Their "raw rice" should have been cooked long ago, right?
So what was this now?
She didn't dwell on this question for long. When she saw Su Chen walking over, only one thought remained in Yan Bingxue's mind.
Pounce on him, sleep with him, and make him completely her husband!
But... she didn't dare!
Yan Bingxue, who was decisive in the business world, suddenly became timid.
Seeing Su Chen reach the bedside, she immediately stood up, her eyes flustered. "I'm thirsty. I'm going to boil some water to drink!"
With that, she walked straight out of the room.
Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. "This little girl, she hasn't recovered yet? She's too easily embarrassed~"
As he was drying his hair, his phone on the bedside table buzzed.
Su Chen glanced at it. It was his mother calling.
Yo, why has Mom been calling him so frequently these past few days?
Su Family Residence.
Su's father asked anxiously from the side, "How is it? Did our son answer?"
Su's mother shook her head. "Not yet, the call hasn't even connected. Don't worry!"
A few minutes earlier, Su's father and mother, who were preparing to rest at home, had suddenly received a call from a friend who said they saw the baby Su Chen posted on his Moments and that Su Chen had gotten married and had a child without telling them.
Su's parents had no idea what was going on. They brushed off the friend with a few perfunctory words and immediately called Su Chen to ask.
"Husband, what should I ask him later?" Su's mother's palms were sweating nervously.
Su's father lowered his head and thought, rubbing his hands. "Don't ask too directly. You can't just ask about the child right away. If our son hasn't told us, there must be a reason. We can't just ask directly."
Su's mother nodded and asked, "Then how should I ask?"
"Just ask him about finding a job first. Isn't he busy graduating and looking for a job recently? After he says a few words, we can then ask about the child in his Moments."
"Okay... Stop talking. The call is connected."
"Hello, Mom? Why are you still awake so late and calling me? Missing your son?" Su Chen asked in a good mood.
Hearing her son's voice, Su's mother's nervousness eased slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Of course, Mom misses you~ You're my son~ Son, are you busy with graduation and looking for a job recently? And you rented a place yourself. Your dad just got paid today, and we wanted to ask if you still need money~"
"Mom, I don't need money. I've already found a job. You and Dad don't need to worry about this," Su Chen said.
"You found one? So quickly! Son, what kind of job did you find? At which company?" Su's mother asked happily.
Su's father put his ear to the phone but couldn't hear what his son said clearly. He gestured anxiously to Su's mother.
Su's mother nodded, spoke to her son, and then took the phone away to put it on speaker.
"Mom, I joined Chaofan Group, the Chaofan Group that the finance channel always mentions. It's a big company!" Su Chen knew his parents were worried about his job and tried his best to reassure them.
"Chaofan Group?" Su's father's voice came through.
"Is it that Chaofan Group that does automotive research?!"
"Yes, Dad, that's the one."
Su's mother and Su's father were filled with surprise and joy.
She couldn't help but playfully tap Su Chen's dad's arm with her fist, saying, "Our son got into Chaofan Group! That's a huge company, he'll definitely have a bright future!"
Su Chen's dad was also beaming with pride and happiness, but as a man, he remained relatively calm. He nodded and said, "Your major is also relevant. It's great you got into such a big company. You need to work hard, son!"
Su Chen chuckled and replied, "Dad, the work I'm doing at Chaofan Group isn't related to my major. I'm working in the Mecha Research Department."
"Mecha Research Department? What's that?" Su Chen's mom asked, confused.
Su Chen's dad asked in shock, "Son, you went to the Mecha Research Department? Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department is state-approved! And it's the department Chaofan Group values most right now!"
"Son, but didn't you study automotive design? Do you even know about mechas?" Su Chen's dad didn't know his son had talent in this area.
"Uh, I know a bit. I'm interested in it, so I studied and researched it myself in university. Dad, I actually have some insights in this field. Not only did I get into Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department, but I'll also be taking a position at the Mecha Research Branch of the Dragon Science Institute next Monday!"
The Dragon Science Institute!
Su Chen's mom and dad were too astonished to speak.
Although Su Chen's mom didn't understand mechas, the Dragon Science Institute was a government department!
That was way more impressive than any regular company!
Their son was actually going to work for the Dragon Science Institute, which meant he'd be a government employee with a stable job for life!
Su Chen's dad happily rubbed his hands together and asked incoherently, "Son, what... what exactly is going on? How do you know so much about mechas, and how are you going to work at the Dragon Science Institute's Mecha Research Branch!"
"I know a bit. The dean of their branch invited me. But I had already joined Chaofan Group at the time, so at the Dragon Science Institute, I'll just be a consultant. Getting extra salary isn't bad, right? Dad, Mom, your son is doing great with his job, you don't need to worry about me anymore," Su Chen said over the phone.
Su Chen's dad's eyes turned red with excitement. Su Chen's mom didn't quite grasp how impressive mechas were, but seeing her husband's expression, she knew her son must be incredibly accomplished now!
"Son, that's wonderful! I never would have imagined my son would be this successful!" Su Chen's dad said happily.
He wiped away a tear, his voice choked with emotion.
