Leng Zexi watched Xia Ruo'an walk into the bathroom with gentle eyes, then turned to look at his mother-in-law and said softly, "Mom, please help me look after Ruo'an. I have something to do outside with Mu Shen and the others."

Zhong Yanyan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Leng Zexi walked towards the door. Just as he reached the door, Xia Lin reminded him, "Turn left when you go out, go straight ahead, and then walk into the alley. You can see them at the end of the alley."

Leng Zexi responded: "Okay, Dad, thank you."

At this time, Zhong Yanyan cast her gaze towards Leng Zexi and earnestly warned him, "Zexi, when you see Mu Shen later, tell him to tone it down a bit. That's enough."

"Teach Zhou Mufan a lesson, let him suffer some minor injuries. If you still feel unsatisfied, you can ask Lin Cai and Xiao Jin to cancel their cooperation with Zhou Mufan and cut off the relevant technical support."

"Anyway, from now on, our family and Zhou Mufan will be two parallel lines, never to intersect again."

"Ruo'an has always been a decisive and resolute child. Once she decides to let go of something or someone, she will never regret it or look back. So, Zexi, you can rest assured about this."

Zhong Yanyan knew very well that although Xia Ruoan had dated Zhou Mufan for three years, now that they had broken up, they should completely move on.

She didn't want Leng Zexi to harbor any grudge against Xia Ruoan or have unnecessary misunderstandings because of this past event.

Hearing his mother-in-law's words, Leng Zexi nodded firmly and replied, "Mom, don't worry! I believe in Ruoan, and I am also confident in the relationship between us. No matter what happens, it will not affect my trust in Ruoan."

After saying that, Leng Zexi turned around and walked out of the room, quickly heading towards where Mu Shen and others were.

"Okay, then go ahead. I'll take care of Ruoan here, so you can go about your business without worry." Zhong Yanyan said with a smile. She felt much more at ease when she heard her husband say this.

Xia Lin looked at his wife's smile, which was as bright as a spring flower, and his mood became cheerful. He couldn't help but smile along with her: "Now you can finally rest assured!"

"Zexi is a really good kid. Both his family background and personal abilities are outstanding." Xia Lin said with emotion. After going through so many things, he has now completely let go.

To be honest, apart from the adopted sons he raised himself, Xia Lin truly felt that entrusting Ruoan to Leng Zexi was the wisest and most appropriate choice.

Zhong Yanyan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard what he said, and jokingly said, "I wonder who it was that was always saying bad things about Zexi, and trying so hard to stop him and Ruoan from being together?"

Xia Lin was exposed by his wife. He coughed awkwardly and quickly explained, "I just wanted to test him at that time to see if he was qualified to be my son-in-law!"

Zhong Yanyan asked with a smile: "Now, after observing him for a while, do you think Zexi is qualified to be your son-in-law?"

Her eyes were full of tenderness and expectation. After all, their daughter's lifelong happiness had always been the most important concern for them. Now that this major event was about to be settled, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Xia Lin deliberately put on a serious expression, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he answered in a double-talking manner: "Well... it's okay, so-so, just barely qualified."

"But what will happen in the future depends on his subsequent performance!" In fact, he had already accepted Leng Zexi as his son-in-law in his heart, but was embarrassed to express it directly.

Zhong Yanyan saw through the man's thoughts at a glance. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of sarcasm, "You, stop being so stubborn! Look, Ruo'an is already married in the blink of an eye."

"But we have four sons. I don't know when they can bring home a good girl from another family." At this point, Zhong Yanyan couldn't help but shook her head slightly, with a hint of worry on her face.

Then, she continued with emotion, "You really need to discipline them. They're all quite old. Ruo Anke is younger than them, and now she's not only married, she even has children."

"But these four guys in our family can't even find a girlfriend, let alone bring one home. Sigh..." Zhong Yanyan sighed deeply, her brows furrowed, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

At this time, Xia Lin on the side nodded repeatedly to express his agreement: "That's right, they should be taught a lesson. We have only one precious daughter in the family, and now she has started a family and is going to have children. On the other hand, these four 'little pigs' in the family couldn't even bring back a 'cabbage', it's really embarrassing!" As soon as the voice fell, Xia Lin turned and walked towards the house.

Seeing this, Zhong Yanyan hurriedly shouted, "Old Xia, I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you in such a hurry to do?"

However, Xia Lin did not stop and soon disappeared in the living room.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about how to pick good names for our precious grandchildren by looking through books."

"I've already agreed with Lao Leng that we'll each come up with three names for the boys and three for the girls. Later, we'll let the kids draw lots and name the ones they draw. That way, we won't have to argue over it all."

As Xia Lin spoke, he picked up a thick copy of "The Book of Songs" and began to read it carefully with great interest.

"I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but I was talking to you about your sons' lifelong affairs, and you just went and looked up those names without saying a word. Have you ever really cared about your sons in your heart?" Zhong Yanyan looked at Xia Lin's actions and stomped her feet in anger.

Hearing this, Xia Lin slowly raised his head and said helplessly, "Of course I care about our sons, but I care about them, but I can't force them to go on blind dates or get married, right? This kind of thing still depends on fate."

"Have you forgotten that incident five years ago? Back then, I insisted that the boss go on a blind date to find a girlfriend, but she ended up running away abroad and didn't want to come back at all."

"If I keep pushing them like this, maybe all four of my sons won't even want to come home!" He lowered his head and continued to study the dictionary in his hand.

"Don't doubt it, they can really do this! As soon as you mention blind dates or finding a girlfriend to them, they immediately start complaining about being extremely busy."

"If it weren't for the important event of Ruo'an marrying into the Leng family and needing them to come back to support the occasion, who knows if they would still be enjoying themselves outside and not want to go home at all!"

"Anyway, no matter how much I try to persuade them, they just turn a deaf ear. As for me, I might as well think carefully about what to name my grandchildren. When they are born, I can take them for a walk around." Xia Lin turned his gaze to his wife beside him and said slowly.

"If I want to experience the joy of taking care of my grandchildren, I'd better wait for my grandson to come out. I can't even imagine Mu Shen and the others, four bachelors."

Zhong Yanyan shook her head helplessly: "You are quite open-minded."

Xia Lin sighed softly and responded, "What can I do if I can't get over it? Do I have to force them to find a woman to marry and have children right away? If the two of them can really get along well, then it's fine. But what if they find out they're not suitable for each other after marriage, get tired of each other, and end up becoming a pair of enemies? That would be a headache!"

"Instead of that, it's better to let nature take its course and let them slowly find the right person. Besides, our children are all quite capable, so there's no need to rely on our sons to take care of us in our old age."

"My only worry now is that they won't have a caring partner when they get older. But luckily, there are four of them, so even when they get old, they can get together and play mahjong and not be too lonely."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings! All we can do is wait patiently for good news. If the children decide to get married, we will give them the house and money we prepared in advance."

"But if they really don't want to get married, forcing them won't help. After all, they're already adults, there's no need to force them."

"But don't be forced into a hasty marriage like Ruoan. If you're lucky, it's fine, but what if you end up with the wrong person? Are we going to watch them go from being single to having a second marriage?"

As Xia Lin spoke, he turned to look at his wife beside him.

After listening to this, Zhong Yanyan thought about it carefully and felt that what her husband said made a lot of sense.

She sighed helplessly, "Alright, then I won't push them anymore. Thinking back to those years when my eldest brother left home to venture out, I couldn't sleep well day or night."

As she spoke, Zhong Yanyan couldn't help but feel a headache coming over her.

"Forget it, forget it. You continue reading. I'll see if there's anything Ruoan needs help sorting out." Before she finished speaking, Zhong Yanyan stood up and walked towards the room where Ruoan was.

At this time, Xia Lin couldn't help but mutter: "Sure enough, all my sons are here to collect debts!"

Who knew that just after he finished saying this, he heard a "pop" sound from behind him.

It turned out that Zhong Yanyan slapped him hard on the back without mercy.

Xia Lin was caught off guard by the beating and gasped in pain, secretly complaining: "That's a really strong hand!" It was all because those brats were ignorant and didn't take the initiative to find a girlfriend, which made him get beaten up.

If you have the guts, go and beat them up. What’s the point of only bullying yourself?

As expected, the son came to collect the debt, but the daughter was considerate. She got angry when she saw the book in her hand. He was unwilling to accept that the cabbage he had raised with great difficulty was picked by others.
