Xu Yike's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, and all the embarrassment he had just felt was swept away.

Su Jinyao took the opportunity to hold her hand and squeezed it gently under the table.

"Dad, Mom," he said sincerely, "I know our Su family has strict family traditions and traditional thinking. I may not have considered it well, but I am serious about Keke and will not be irresponsible."

Madam Su's expression eased slightly, but she still refused to give in. "It was indeed ill-considered. If it weren't for this incident, we would still be kept in the dark!"

Xu Yike mustered up the courage to speak: "Aunt, this is my fault. I suggested it... Mainly for the convenience of work. Our hospital is very close to Jin Yao's apartment."

Su Hanhai snorted, "Keke, you don't have to cover for him. I know what kind of person my son is."

He glared at Su Jinyao and said, "You've always been opinionated since you were little. You dare to do anything!"

Su Jinyao was helpless: "Dad..."

"Alright, alright," Madam Su suddenly waved her hand, her expression subtly softening. "Now that it's like this, there's no point in talking about it anymore. It's better to settle the marriage as soon as possible."

She looked at Xu Yike, her eyes suddenly becoming loving, "Keke, auntie can't wait to have you as my daughter-in-law."

Xu Yike chuckled and turned to look at Su Jinyao.

Isn't this a really quick topic jump? Just now I was criticizing them for living together, and now I'm urging them to get married?

When I turned around, I saw Su Jinyao smiling with his head down and his lips pursed, looking very happy.

Wow, even less reserved than her!

Mrs. Su achieved her goal and drove Su Jinyao away.

Su Jinyao went to the hospital. Before leaving, he was worried about Xu Yike, so he asked her to stay at home to avoid the brother and sister causing trouble again.

After dinner, Nanyu sent the four little ones to school, and the house suddenly became quiet.

Bo Jingzhou was holding a video conference on his computer in his study. Although the doctor advised him to stay in bed, this workaholic couldn't sit still.

Su Yutang and Xu Yike sat in the sunroom, enjoying the rare quiet time.

"I didn't expect my aunt to be so open-minded." Xu Yike held the flower tea and told Su Yutang the rest of the conversation.

As soon as Su Jinyao left, Mrs. Su pulled her aside and talked to her in private for a while.

Xu Yike was afraid that Mrs. Su would be angry, and was about to explain for Su Jinyao.

Unexpectedly, Madam Su said, "Silly child, I'm not really angry. I just wanted to see if that brat would dare to admit it. He's responsible and didn't let me down."

Xu Yike's eyes widened: "Huh?"

"Isn't that what all you young people are like now?" Madam Su waved her hand. "Although I'm old, I'm not confused. What's wrong with living together before marriage? It's better than finding out you're not compatible after marriage. If you're not satisfied with Jin Yao, it's okay to kick him out in advance. I have many sons anyway, so you can pick any one you want. If the third one doesn't work, there are still the eldest, the second, and the fourth."

How could Xu Yike be dissatisfied? She was very satisfied with Su Jinyao and had liked him for a long time.

Su Yutang chuckled: "If my mother was not open-minded, she would not dare to elope with my father. In fact, she likes you very much and has regarded you as her daughter-in-law for a long time."

Xu Yike: "Elope? Was my aunt so crazy when she was young?"

Su Yutang nodded and told Xu Yike how Madam Su left the Bron family when she was young and eloped with her father.

Xu Yike listened with great interest and once again was filled with admiration for Madam Su.

This is not a weak woman at all. This is a true person who dares to love and hate and is not afraid of power.

In the middle of the journey, Lin An came over with documents in his hands.

"Madam, Miss Xu," Lin An greeted politely. "Is Mr. Bo here? The company has an urgent document that needs his signature."

Su Yutang pointed to the study: "He's in a meeting. Please take a seat first. I'll go tell him you're here."

She got up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, ready to bring it in.

Xu Yike looked at Su Yutang's skilled movements and couldn't help but sigh: "Now you even know how he likes coffee."

Su Yutang found it funny: "I have been his secretary for so long, it's not in vain."

Su Yutang came to the study with coffee and knocked on the door gently. She pushed the door open after hearing Bo Jingzhou's voice "Come in" from inside.

In the study, Bo Jingzhou suspended the meeting.

Su Yutang placed the coffee next to him and glanced at the foreigners in suits and Meng Xiao on the screen - it seemed to be a meeting of the International Business Department.

"Lin An is here and said there are urgent documents." She said in a low voice.

Bo Jingzhou nodded, said a few closing words into the microphone, and closed the video conference. He looked tired but in good spirits, and his complexion was much better than in the morning.

"Let him in." Bo Jingzhou took the coffee and took a sip, his brows relaxed. "Thank you, I just need a boost of energy."

Su Yutang sighed that being blind and still having to work, being a CEO is more tiring than being a worker, so she said: "You should rest more."

"It's just a signature. It's not a big deal." Bo Jingzhou paused and said comfortingly, "Don't worry."

Su Yutang turned around and called Lin An in, but she had no intention of leaving.

Lin An handed over a document, and Bo Jingzhou signed it blindly without even looking at it. These documents had all been reviewed by Lin An, and he trusted Lin An very much.

"Is there anything else?" Bo Jingzhou asked.

Lin An hesitated for a moment. "There's a problem with the project in Country F. They're asking to renegotiate the terms and they're asking you to communicate in person via video..."

Hearing this, Su Yutang couldn't help but frown. Country F? Could it be Lawrence or Liz's doing again?

Knowing that he was blind, Bo Jingzhou still wanted to communicate with him in person via video. Isn't this humiliating?

Bo Jingzhou obviously thought of this as well and did not respond for a long time.

Su Yutang said, "Is there any problem that can't be solved over the phone?"

Lin An was a little embarrassed: "This..."

Bo Jingzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Listen to my wife, Lin An, if you want to reconnect, let them call me, forget about the video call. If that doesn't work, just give up the cooperation with them."

Lin An nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

He turned to leave but was stopped by Su Yutang again.

Su Yutang glanced at Bo Jingzhou before saying, "If you need any help, just let me know."

Lin An glanced at her gratefully. "Thank you, ma'am. The most important thing right now is Mr. Bo's health. We can handle the company's affairs."

Su Yutang shook her head: "What I mean is that the company's affairs can be handed over to me. I want to share the burden for him."

Lin An looked at her in surprise, then looked at Bo Jingzhou: "This..."

Mr. Bo definitely doesn't want his wife to be tired, and would rather work harder himself.

Unexpectedly, Bo Jingzhou said, "Madam is thoughtful. Lin An, from now on, please send the documents that need to be signed directly to Madam for her to review and sign, and then issue a power of attorney. Her opinion is my opinion."
