When Yan Bingxue heard that, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and her pink lips pressed together.
Her voice was nowhere near as gentle or excited as before. "Mom, let's talk about this later."
Tang Shuyun's joy seemed to have been abruptly dampened. Thinking of something, she immediately clenched her fist in annoyance.
She had been too hasty. Whenever she got excited, she tended to say the wrong thing.
"Xue'er, are you worried about your father... Actually, Mom thinks..."
"Mom, enough. I went to Yangcheng today, and I'm really tired now. I'm going to sleep. We can talk about this later."
Tang Shuyun sighed softly. "All right, then get some rest early, sweetheart. Don't focus only on work. Take good care of yourself, and take good care of your husband too. We have plenty of time ahead of us. Good night."
"Good night, Mom." Yan Bingxue hung up and lowered her head, feeling slightly dejected.
Her marriage to Su Chen had happened so suddenly that she had not considered so much. She had no idea how her father would react when the time came...
Click.
The bathroom door opened, and Yan Bingxue immediately turned her head.
Su Chen emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe, its collar hanging open enough to faintly reveal his firm chest muscles.
His tousled black hair was still wet, and he was drying it with a towel as droplets ran down from his hair.
Whew~
What a sight of a handsome man fresh from the bath.
Yan Bingxue thought of the novel she had just read and suddenly felt an impulse to make it a done deal!
But she and Su Chen already had Tuantuan and Lele. Their raw rice should have long since become cooked rice, right?
Then what did that make things now?
She did not dwell on the question for long. When she saw Su Chen walking toward her, only one thought remained in Yan Bingxue's mind.
Pounce on him, sleep with him, and make him completely hers!
But... she did not dare!
President Yan, who was decisive and ruthless in the business world, suddenly lost her nerve.
Seeing Su Chen reach the bedside, she immediately stood up and said with flustered eyes, "I'm thirsty. I'm going to boil some water!"
With that, she walked straight out of the room.
Su Chen could not help laughing. "This little girl still hasn't recovered? She's way too easily embarrassed~"
As he dried his hair, the phone on the bedside table began buzzing.
Su Chen looked at it and saw that it was a call from his mother.
Oh? Why had Mom suddenly been calling him so often these past few days?
At the Su residence.
Su's Father anxiously asked from beside her, "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 Su's Mother had been getting ready to rest at home when they suddenly received a call from a friend. The friend said they had seen the children Su Chen posted on his social media and asked why they had never mentioned something as significant as Su Chen getting married and having children.
Su's Father and Su's Mother had no idea what was going on. After brushing it off with a few vague remarks, they hurriedly called Su Chen to ask him about it.
"His dad, how should I ask him later?" Su's Mother asked, so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Su's Father lowered his head to think, rubbing his hands together as he said, "Don't ask too directly. You can't bring up the children right away. Since our son didn't tell us himself, there must be a reason. We can't ask him outright."
Su's Mother nodded and asked, "Then how should I ask?"
"Ask him about looking for a job first. Wasn't he busy graduating and job hunting recently? Once he says a few things, we can ask about the children on his social media."
"Okay... Stop talking, the call connected."
"Hello, Mom? Why are you calling me so late instead of sleeping? Did you miss your son?" Su Chen asked in a cheerful tone.
Hearing her son's voice, Su's Mother felt a little less nervous, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Of course Mom misses you~ You're my son~ Son, haven't you been busy graduating and looking for work lately? And you rented a place on your own too. Your dad got paid today, so we wanted to ask if you needed any money~"
"Mom, I don't need money. I've already found a job, so you and Dad don't need to worry about that," Su Chen said.
"You found one? So quickly! Son, what kind of job did you find? What company is it at?" Su's Mother asked happily.
Su's Father pressed his ear against the phone, but he still could not hear what his son was saying. Anxiously, he gestured at Su's Mother.
Su's Mother nodded, speaking to her son while moving the phone away and turning on the speaker.
"Mom, I joined Chaofan Group, the Chaofan Group that the financial channels often mention. It's a major corporation!" Knowing his parents worried about his work, Su Chen tried his best to reassure them.
"Chaofan Group?" Su's Father's voice came through.
"Is that the Chaofan Group that does automotive research?!"
"Yes, Dad, that's the one."
Su's Mother and Su's Father were both overjoyed.
She could not help clenching her fist and lightly tapping Su's Father with it. "Our son actually got into Chaofan Group! That's a major corporation. He'll definitely have a bright future!"
Su's Father was also filled with pride and joy, but as a man, he remained relatively composed. He nodded and said, "Your major is somewhat related too. Since you got into such a big company, work hard from now on, son!"
Su Chen smiled. "Dad, the work I do at Chaofan Group isn't related to my major. I work in the Mecha Research Department."
"The Mecha Research Department? What is that?" Su's Mother asked in confusion.
Su's Father asked in shock, "Son, you joined the Mecha Research Department? Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department was approved by the state! And it's the department Chaofan Group values most right now!"
"Son, but didn't you study automotive design? Do you understand mechas?" Su's Father had no idea his son possessed such talent.
"Yeah, I know a little. I like this field, so I studied and researched it on my own in college. Dad, your son is actually pretty knowledgeable in this area. Not only did I get into Chaofan Group's Mecha Research Department, but next Monday, I'll also be taking a position at the Mecha Research Branch of the Dragon Science Institute!"
The Dragon Science Institute!
Su's Father and Su's Mother were too stunned to speak.
Su's Mother did not understand mechas, but the Dragon Science Institute was a state institution!
That was far more impressive than an ordinary company!
Her son could actually join the Dragon Science Institute. Wouldn't that mean he would be working for the state in the future, with an iron rice bowl in hand!
Su's Father happily rubbed his hands together and asked incoherently, "Son, this... what exactly is going on? You understand mechas so well, and you can even work at the Mecha Research Branch of the Dragon Science Institute!"
"I know a little. The director of their branch invited me, but I had already joined Chaofan Group at the time. So over at the Dragon Science Institute, I'll just be working as a consultant. Getting another paycheck isn't bad, right? Mom, Dad, your son's work is going great now. You don't need to worry about me anymore," Su Chen said over the phone.
Su's Father was so excited that his eyes reddened. Su's Mother did not really understand 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 imagined my son would be so promising!" Su's Father said happily.
He wiped away his tears, his voice choked with emotion.
