What Parents Want Most Is for Their Children to Be Happy

"Huh? Mom?"

Su Wanqing had thought Fang Yan would blame her for making such a big decision on her own. She hadn't expected that not only would Fang Yan not be angry, but she would even ask her to bring her son-in-law home.

Seeing how open-minded her parents were, Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Then she said with a smile, "Okay, Mom."

She had wanted to tell them about the babies too, but after thinking it over, Su Wanqing decided against it. She would give them a surprise.

"I'll bring your son-in-law home in a few days."

"All right, all right. Get back to what you were doing."

Fang Yan smiled as she spoke, then hung up. Although her precious daughter hadn't thought things through when she got married, Fang Yan felt reassured when she saw the smile all over Su Wanqing's face.

What parents wanted most was for their children to be happy.

When Su Youzhi saw Fang Yan put down her phone, he hurried over.

"Honey, did you hang up? I was hoping to see our son-in-law."

"What son-in-law? He'll only be the Su family's son-in-law after he passes our test."

"Yeah, we should put him to the test for our daughter."

Parents raised their children from a young age, and they couldn't help but think about what was best for them.

As Su Wanqing's parents, Fang Yan and Su Youzhi both wanted to make sure he was right for her.

And when Su Youzhi learned that his little cotton-padded jacket had started a family, he felt an indescribable sadness. It was like seeing a cabbage he had raised from a seedling rooted up by a pig.

After giving it some thought, he said, "Honey, go out and buy some pork ribs, big soup bones, pork belly, and things like that tomorrow. Our daughter loves them."

"Okay. Our daughter hasn't been home in a year. We'll make sure she eats well."

"It's not easy being out there on her own. Qingqing looked thinner in the video."

"..."

Meanwhile, after Su Wanqing hung up, she danced with joy. Now she could finally take Lin Yi home without worrying.

She was confident that Fang Yan and Su Youzhi would be very pleased with Lin Yi.

Su Wanqing hadn't been home in a year, and she missed home and her parents terribly. The thought of seeing them soon filled her heart with joy.

When Lin Yi saw Su Wanqing hang up, he walked over. Seeing the smile all over her face, he asked her about it.

"Honey, what's got you so happy?"

"My mom said she wants to meet you."

"Huh? My mother-in-law wants to meet me? How? Should we call her back on video?"

"Dummy, she wants me to bring you home."

Lin Yi froze for a moment when he heard Su Wanqing's answer.

When it sank in, he said delightedly, "When are we going back, then? How about tomorrow? No, tomorrow won't work. There won't be enough time to buy gifts."

"Let's go in a couple of days instead. We can pick out gifts first. What do Mom and Dad like?"

"..."

Lin Yi rattled off a whole bunch of things. He had already started planning the trip to Su Wanqing's home.

It was clear that Lin Yi was taking it very seriously, and that he wanted his father-in-law and mother-in-law to approve of him.

In that one instant, all sorts of questions had already crossed his mind.

Watching Lin Yi talk to himself, Su Wanqing hurriedly stopped him. "Honey~ my parents are very 'easy' to talk to."

"Yeah, yeah, but what do Mom and Dad like? We can't go empty-handed."

"Gemstone necklaces? Patek Philippe watches? A Maybach? Do they like those?"

Everything Lin Yi mentioned sounded so expensive to Su Wanqing that she hurriedly shook her head.

"Hmm... My dad likes watching antique appraisal shows, and he likes playing with birds."

"My mom likes necklaces, hehe~"

"Okay, we'll go pick out gifts tomorrow."

Lin Yi nodded. These were his father-in-law's and mother-in-law's preferences, and he had to remember them.

While the two of them were talking, Tangtang rolled over on the bed. She had done it herself, without any outside help.

The little one woke up after rolling over, but she didn't cry or fuss. The marriage certificate Su Wanqing had casually set down was lying right in front of her.

Tangtang flailed her chubby little hands as hard as she could, but they only reached as far as her chin. She couldn't reach the certificate.

"Wah~"

"Eh~"

"Hoo~"

The little one babbled, trying to attract Lin Yi and Su Wanqing's attention.

When they heard her, the two turned around and saw Tangtang lying on her tummy on the bed, drool trailing from the corner of her mouth.

Because she was lying on her tummy, the little one's drool landed on the marriage certificate.

By the time they noticed, the certificate was damp. Su Wanqing picked it up and looked at it, pretending to be angry. "You little rascal, Tangtang, this is Mommy and Daddy's marriage certificate."

"You naughty little thing."

"Hehe~"

"Hehe~"

Tangtang thought Mommy was playing with her and giggled aloud.

Her dark little eyes curved like crescent moons.

Seeing how adorably Tangtang was smiling, Su Wanqing couldn't bear to say anything more. She put both marriage certificates away.

Perhaps because they had gone out during the day, the two little ones slept quietly.

"Smack~"

In the middle of the night, Lin Yi felt a chubby little hand rubbing against his face. Suddenly, a crisp slap rang out by his ear.

He opened his eyes and found Yuanyuan lying on his tummy right in front of him.

"Good boy, that was quite a loud slap."

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Come on, let Daddy check if you've gone pee-pee first~"

Lin Yi undid Yuanyuan's diaper and found it was indeed wet. He took a fresh diaper from the bedside table and changed the little one.

After the change, he settled down considerably.

Looking at the little one in his arms, Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Yuanyuan was so clever. He knew to look for Daddy when he needed a diaper change, and even when he was hungry, he looked for Daddy, because Mommy might not wake up no matter how much he patted her.

If Su Wanqing knew, she would definitely give Yuanyuan a thumbs-up. "My son is so clever. Go to Daddy whenever you need anything."

At first, when she still felt awkward, Su Wanqing had felt bad that Lin Yi was always the one looking after the babies at night.

Now, after spending so many days together, she had long since put those feelings behind her.

Before long, Lin Yi heard Su Wanqing murmuring beside him.

"Honey~ hehe~"

"So wonderful. Love you~"

"Mwah~"

Su Wanqing would only say things like that in her dreams. During the day, she was a little too embarrassed.

Perhaps she could say anything in her dreams, but she hadn't expected Lin Yi to hear every word of some of the things she said.

Hearing Su Wanqing's words of love, Lin Yi felt very happy.

Seeing that she had a leg thrown over the quilt, Lin Yi thoughtfully pulled it out and tucked her in.

Little did he know, when Su Wanqing rolled over, she slapped him in the face with a smack. He really had it a little rough that night.

Seeing that Su Wanqing was still sleeping so soundly after hitting him, Lin Yi could only comfort himself silently. She's my own wife, my own wife...

Back on his side, Yuanyuan was having a great time playing, with no sign of wanting to sleep.

"Wah~"

"Mmm~"

The little one babbled and rolled over from time to time. Yuanyuan had thoroughly mastered the skill of rolling over.

"Hoo~"

"Mm-ee~"

"Ah~"

To attract Lin Yi's attention, Yuanyuan pulled out all the stops, as if saying, "Daddy, look at me roll over~"

Lin Yi clapped softly in response. "Well done, Yuanyuan, well done."

A long time passed, but the little one still wouldn't sleep. Lin Yi had no choice but to play his trump card. He drew Yuanyuan into his arms and whispered, "Yuanyuan, how about Daddy tells you a story?"

"Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain was a temple, and in the temple was an old monk telling a story..."
