Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 514 - 477: Jun, Your Liangsheng: The One and Only
Fang Duo’s expression was severe, with both hands resting on his knees, embodying the image of a stern patriarch.
Upon hearing Fang Jingting’s words, Fang Duo snorted, "Other matters can let him mess around, but on the matter of his life’s partner, we absolutely cannot let it be.
"Shao Yun has always had his own ideas since he was a child. As he’s grown up, hasn’t everything been according to his own will? If he has really set his mind on that woman this time, what else can we do? We can’t exactly disown him, can we?" Fang Jingting sighed heavily.
"Even if it means severing the mother-son relationship, we cannot allow him to act recklessly." Fang Duo said dully.
Fang Jingting was at a loss for words, and then started sighing again.
Fang Duo glanced a few times at Fang Jingting, his brow furrowed. Clearly, the fact that Huo Shaojun announced he would marry Jian Liangtong was causing him a headache as well.
"Son-in-law, what do you think?" Fang Duo turned to Huo Xingli, who had yet to speak.
Huo Xingli sat up slightly, showing respect to Fang Duo, and after a moment’s contemplation, he carefully began to speak, "Dad, do you really want to hear my opinion?"
"Of course. Why else would I ask you?" Fang Duo nodded and said.
Huo Xingli squinted his eyes and slowly said, "Marriage is a matter concerning Shao Yun’s lifelong happiness. My opinion is to trust him."
"..." Fang Duo and Fang Jingting were both stunned upon hearing this.
"Husband, I didn’t understand." Fang Jingting glanced at Fang Duo, questioning Huo Xingli.
"We should trust Shao Yun’s judgment. Over the years, have we ever seen Shao Yun pay so much attention to a girl? The only one he has admitted to being his girlfriend is Miss Jian."
Huo Xingli looked at Fang Jingting, "Didn’t you worry before that Shao Yun might not like girls, which is why he’s never had a formal relationship? Now that Shao Yun has brought home a girl he likes, shouldn’t we be relieved and happy for him?"
"I was just saying, I wasn’t truly worried that Shao Yun doesn’t like girls." Fang Jingting frowned and said softly.
She couldn’t care less about what Huo Xingli was saying.
Huo Xingli pursed his lips and looked at Fang Duo, whose expression was becoming increasingly stern, "Father-in-law, prior to Shao Yun bringing this young girl home, Jingting and I conducted some research. Her father works in a state-run enterprise and holds a leadership position, her mother works at the community committee, and her family is fairly well-off and clean.
Moreover, this young lady is already twenty, and she’s never had a boyfriend. Compared to girls her age, she’s like a blank sheet of paper in terms of relationships.
Shao Yun has been in the entertainment circle long enough to witness all sorts of deceit; liking a simple and pure girl like Miss Jian isn’t surprising."
"I wasn’t saying that the young girl is bad. Speaking of simplicity, I actually think a girl with some social experience and sophistication might better suit Shao Yun’s future development. Ultimately, Shao Yun will have to inherit the Huo Family’s business. If he marries a girl who understands nothing, what use is she apart from holding him back?" Fang Duo said.
"Exactly, husband. Shao Yun is the future pillar of the Huo Family. In choosing a wife, how can we only consider whether the girl is simple? She must also be capable of assisting Shao Yun.
Now, if the Huo Family continues to prosper, that’s fine, but what if some trouble arises in the future? Apart from himself, who will help him?
At that time, Shao Yun might even blame us for not stopping him from marrying that girl." Fang Jingting said, looking at Huo Xingli.
Huo Xingli stared at Fang Jingting, with a somewhat sharp gaze, "How come no one will help Shao Yun? Isn’t there still Cheng Jin?"
Fang Jingting felt a bit flustered under his stare and shrank back a little, swallowing, "Cheng Jin is undisciplined..."
"I actually think if Shao Yun is not interested, passing the Huo Family to Cheng Jin might not be a bad choice." Without waiting for Fang Jingting to finish, Huo Xingli spoke with a slightly cold voice.
"How could that be!?" Upon hearing him mention handing the Huo Family to Huo Chengjin, Fang Jingting became agitated, clenching her fists and glaring at Huo Xingli, "Shao Yun is the eldest son; logically and emotionally, the Huo Family should be managed by Shao Yun. We can’t mess with the rules." Huo Xingli looked at Fang Jingting’s well-maintained face, his brows gradually furrowing, and his eyes showing a hint of disappointment, "Sometimes I truly wonder if you even consider Cheng Jin as your son."
With that, Huo Xingli looked at Fang Duo, maintaining his composure and the etiquette of a junior, and said, "Father-in-law, I’m going to the study to handle some things."
Fang Duo lowered his eyes slightly and nodded.
Huo Xingli then stood up and walked upstairs.
Watching Huo Xingli’s figure disappear into the study on the second floor, Fang Jingting looked at Fang Duo with reddened eyes and said resentfully with a choked voice, "Dad, did you hear what he said? Both Shao Yun and Cheng Jin were born from my womb, how can he say I don’t care about Cheng Jin?"
"Now’s not the time to argue about this. The urgent matter is Shao Yun’s marriage," Fang Duo said calmly.
"..." Fang Jingting was still downcast, but after a while perhaps thought through it, looked up at Fang Duo, wiped her nose and asked, "Dad, do you have any good suggestions?"
Fang Duo squinted his eyes, a flash of cunning too quick to be captured in his gaze, and slowly said, "When truly wanting to accomplish something, how could we fear not finding a way?"
Fang Jingting, "..."
Fuyang North Road, Villa.
In the villa’s dining room, Jian Liangtong looked at the exquisite dishes emitting a faint fragrance on the milky white dining table and didn’t move to pick up the chopsticks.
Huo Shaojun held a pair of white chopsticks in hand, his cold eyes deeply fixed on Jian Liangtong, "Why aren’t you eating?"
Jian Liangtong fluttered her long and dense eyelashes, picked up the chopsticks, picked a piece of spicy chicken, and put it into her mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing down her throat.
Looking at Huo Shaojun, Jian Liangtong smiled at him, "Delicious."
Huo Shaojun frowned, staring at her, "If it’s good, I’ll make it for you every day."
"Forget it, you’re a big star, so busy every day, where will you find time to cook for me every day?" Jian Liangtong smiled.
Huo Shaojun said nothing more, just kept looking at her.
Jian Liangtong kept smiling, picked a piece of vegetable and offered it to him, "You eat too."
Huo Shaojun lowered his eyes to glance at the vegetables in his bowl, slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, and picked it into his mouth.
Jian Liangtong watched as Huo Shaojun’s Adam’s apple seemed to move, probably swallowed, then lowered her head again and put a grain of rice in her mouth, gently biting with her teeth, "Do you remember what I asked you in my room?"
Huo Shaojun’s gaze narrowed slightly, as if he thought about it, "Your room?"
Jian Liangtong looked up at him, "This afternoon, at my house."
Huo Shaojun understood and thought again, but still came up empty-handed, so he asked Jian Liangtong, "What did you ask me?"
Jian Liangtong’s hand holding the chopsticks tightened suddenly, and her eyes were also somewhat tense as she stared into Huo Shaojun’s, "I asked if you like children?"
"... " Huo Shaojun pressed his lips together, his cold eyes instinctively sweeping towards Jian Liangtong’s flat belly, then looked at her face and said, "En, I remember."
"If, I’m saying if, I were pregnant..."
"You’re pregnant?" Huo Shaojun’s eyes suddenly sunk deep, staring at Jian Liangtong.
"..." Jian Liangtong’s lips trembled slightly, looking at his tightly strained face, her eyes confused, unable to tell whether he was happy or disappointed.
"I’m saying if I were pregnant." Jian Liangtong repeated hoarsely.
Huo Shaojun’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, his lips pressed straight, "En."
"If I were pregnant, would you let me keep the child?" Jian Liangtong’s voice trembled.
Huo Shaojun’s heart surged, his cold eyes deep and frightening.
He vaguely sensed something.
But he was not sure yet.
Clenching his fists, Huo Shaojun’s voice was also hoarse, "What do you think?"
Jian Liangtong frowned, bewilderment in her eyes, shook her head, "I don’t know."
Don’t know?
Huo Shaojun’s brow furrowed suddenly, staring deeply at Jian Liangtong, "I have firmly expressed to both families today that I want to marry you. Tongtong, don’t you understand? Soon, you will be my wife, you are the only woman in this world qualified to bear children for me!"
Jian Liangtong’s heart trembled fiercely, watching Huo Shaojun’s stern and handsome face as he said this, the unease and low sorrow that had lingered in her heart all afternoon vanished instantaneously.
"Let’s eat first." Jian Liangtong smiled.
Huo Shaojun’s Adam’s apple moved, "Okay."
After dinner, unexpectedly, Huo Shaojun didn’t let Jian Liangtong wash the dishes. He took the initiative to do it himself.
Jian Liangtong leaned against the countertop of the open kitchen, watching Huo Shaojun’s tall figure, her heart suddenly filled to the brim with something.
The corners of her lips slowly curled into a smile, Jian Liangtong said softly, "I’m pregnant."
Bang—
The plate slipped from Huo Shaojun’s large hand, crashing into the sink, clattering noisily.
Jian Liangtong’s heart was startled, she widened her eyes, staring at Huo Shaojun’s back.
Time seemed to suddenly stand still.
She didn’t know how much time passed.
Huo Shaojun’s straight back slowly straightened, he turned around, his cold eyes tightly narrowed at Jian Liangtong in disbelief, "Say that again?"
Jian Liangtong’s small face twitched twice, she said, "I’m pregnant." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Huo Shaojun suddenly took a deep breath, his long legs striding over to Jian Liangtong, his dark eyes tightly locked on her, "Say that again."
"..." Jian Liangtong was a bit dumbfounded, she stammered, "I’m pregnant, ah..."
This time, before Jian Liangtong could finish, she was suddenly swept up by Huo Shaojun’s arm, her legs off the ground, spinning around in the small kitchen.
Jian Liangtong was scared half to death, her slender arms tightly wrapped around his neck, her wide almond eyes staring at his face, not sure if he was overly happy or overly nervous.
Finally stopping, countless little stars danced before Jian Liangtong’s eyes, she leaned softly in his arms.
Huo Shaojun’s heart pounded wildly, yet he didn’t put her down, holding her as he walked towards the living room.
In the living room, Jian Liangtong watched Huo Shaojun sitting beside her on the sofa, her eyes full of affection and happiness.
Huo Shaojun held the ultrasound image she had just gotten from the hospital today, over half an hour had passed.
He was still holding that ultrasound image, looking down, not blinking.
Jian Liangtong suddenly found her afternoon’s melancholy and sense of loss laughable.
His current behavior clearly showed excessive joy, not any form of dislike.
"Little brother, have you been looking at it for a long time?" Jian Liangtong put her hand on Huo Shaojun’s arm, smiling.
