"Are these really intended for us?"

"Of course!"

Upon receiving a positive response, Wu Wenyue's face instantly brightened up: "That's great, thank you, Mom!"

Xu Manning also broke into a smile, showering praises like 'Mom, your painting skills are amazing,' 'such a strong sense of design,' 'truly a genius jewelry designer.'

Seeing their smiling faces, Comrade Old Yu breathed a sigh of relief internally. Too many daughters-in-law meant more trouble, but fortunately, she had the foresight to prepare in advance, otherwise, it would have been difficult now.

Although Wu and Xu haven't received the gold jewelry yet, gaining Yu Huizhi's equal treatment and implicit approval is more important than any gift.

She and her husband Li Qiyuan shared the same thoughts. If she thought this way, Li Qiyuan surely thought the same, implying that the future wedding might just be a matter of time.

Feeling increasingly secure, Wu Wenyue took the opportunity to gently inquire whether the two families could sit together to discuss hosting the wedding after her graduation this July.

Yu Huizhi pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "No one can predict the future, but for things to proceed smoothly, I think the most crucial point is that you don't create too much tension in the relationship. That's what's most important. If you get along well, everything will be fine. If you don't, we as elders have no way to help."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue fell silent, while Yu Huizhi continued earnestly, "Actually, the reason I oppose your current relationship with Fengfeng is not only because of practical or ethical issues but also because it contradicts our normal interpretation of love and emotions. I believe you won't be happy if you continue like this, and the future will only become increasingly chaotic, which is why I must oppose it."

"If your parents found out about this, their reaction would surely be even more intense than mine initially. Because every parent in the world wants the same thing: for their children to have good, happy lives and all the beautiful experiences life offers while avoiding those painful or wrong paths."

Wu Wenyue hesitantly asked, "Then what is your attitude now, Mom..."

Yu Huizhi sighed, "So much time has passed, and none of you have mentioned a breakup, sticking firmly to your initial choice. What can we say? What use would our words have?"

"Moreover, even though this relationship doesn't align with our understanding of love, love is a quality of your own, a part of your soul... As long as you live your days happily and firmly continue down this path, we as elders may not understand, but eventually, we will come to accept it."

Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning seemed thoughtful, as if they had gained some insights from these words, vaguely understanding what measures they should take when the truth finally comes to light and they must face the parental challenge ahead.

They were contemplating far ahead, but the conversation next door was not going as smoothly.

Li Qiyuan initially intended to have an open discussion, but as soon as the daughters-in-law and son sat down face to face, he became nervous and guilty, unsure of how to speak, caught in the dilemma of whether to aid the wrongdoing or not.

However, in the few seconds Old Li was silent, Li Peifeng communicated a lot internally with Zhao Qingge, who straightforwardly expressed her stance.

"Dad, you and Mom can certainly go to Hangzhou to visit them. Tianxuan has been pregnant for a long time, and you really should meet her and her family. I have no objections to that. But... Peifeng and I are still married, and I have never intended to divorce. So, I hope when you meet Tianxuan's family, you will always keep this in mind."

Li Qiyuan was somewhat surprised by the first part of her words, but after hearing the entire statement, he responded as one might expect: "Of course, why bring up divorce for no reason? Fengfeng would never bring it up, and if he dared, I'd thrash him... Qingge, just focus on taking care of yourself."

Smart as he was, Old Li had already grasped the deeper meaning behind Zhao Qingge's words.

Meeting Huang Tianxuan's parents? Sure.

Getting married and registering? No way!

Afraid Old Li hadn't understood, Zhao Qingge further emphasized, "If Tianxuan's parents talk to you about their marriage, I suggest you ignore it. The best approach is to be honest about Peifeng being a married man, to prevent things from escalating beyond repair. We can't let him keep making mistakes; otherwise, the situation at the end will be one no one wants to see..."

This is essentially a "don't say I didn't warn you" kind of warning.

What could Li Qiyuan say? He could only nod in agreement, assuming a senior's posture, and offer supportive and approving words to reassure Zhao Qingge.

But if they really go by Zhao Qingge's wishes, how would the Li family explain things to Huang Tianxuan's parents when they arrive in Hangzhou?

Would Li Qiyuan dare to reveal his son's true situation? If not, how could he refuse to discuss the marriage with the Huang family?

With nothing to say, he thought to himself, after all, I'm not the one marrying four wives, my son will handle it!

Li Qiyuan chose to lie flat and do nothing, while Li Peifeng, the person involved, remained silent as if he also chose to lie flat, yet his inner activities were not for outsiders to know.

I will handle it, but not now!

Just now, in their internal conversation, Li Peifeng clearly understood that this was already Zhao Qingge's maximum concession. In other words, her agreement for the elders to visit Hangzhou was her final bottom line.

Bargaining further in front of Li Qiyuan would only serve to completely enrage Zhao Qingge and achieve nothing. The time for a second or even third or fourth marriage was still far off, as long as the parents went to Hangzhou, there would be room for reconciliation.
