The leader is my girlfriend

After completing his scientific research (translating English instructions in the hospital for 7 days), Wang Yiming was finally able to be discharged from the hospital and go home.

Liu Miaomiao volunteered to accompany her sister to pick up Wang Yiming from the hospital. She also handed Lu Wanwan and Wang Yiming two envelopes containing the developed photos from a surprise photoshoot a few days ago. They captured the precious moment when Wang Yiming knelt to propose to Lu Wanwan and their subsequent passionate embrace. Lu Wanwan, in her "concern," had also "selflessly" shared the negatives. Fortunately, there were three copies, and she secretly kept one for safekeeping.

The route that was supposed to turn left turned to right? This new route doesn't seem to be leading home?

Zhu Hongwei held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes focused on the road ahead, while explaining,

"The chief wants to see you."

This sudden news...

"what!"

"Grandpa wants to see Yiming?"

Wang Yiming and Lu Wanwan were both surprised.

"Yes, before I left to pick you up, the commander specifically asked Aunt Zheng to prepare lunch for today."

"It's better to meet today than to wait for another day." Lu Wanwan had already been planning this.

"Are we going just like that?" Wang Yiming suddenly felt a little nervous. He had not yet prepared himself mentally to meet the parents.

"Don't you want to go?" Lu Wanwan turned her head and glanced at Wang Yiming.

Now that his health has improved, his welfare benefits have disappeared, and his leader has become unkind again.

"No, it's mainly because I haven't prepared anything."

"What are you going to prepare?"

"It's a gift for visiting. I can't come to you empty-handed. Look at me now. I have nothing to lose. I will be beaten out by your grandfather."

"It's okay. We have everything we need at home. Just come and be well."

"……OK then."

As the saying goes, a blessing is not a disaster, and a disaster cannot be avoided. Even if I am an ugly son-in-law, I will eventually have to meet my grandfather!

Looking at the exquisite three-story building in front of me, to sum it up, it is - domineering!

He is really amazing, otherwise how could Lu Wanwan like him? Isn’t this the love story of a princess falling in love with a poor boy, and a rich girl falling in love with a down-and-out boy? How many Phoenix men are there in this world? Fortunately, he is not a scumbag, he is Xiao Ming who is in love.

(In our country, myths are always full of wonderful and fantastical plots, such as the noble San Shengmu falling in love with the down-and-out weak scholar Liu Yanchang; the beautiful Seven Fairies also having a special affection for the cowherd boy Dong Yong; even the snake demon Bai Suzhen, who has cultivated for thousands of years, is willing to flood Jinshan Mountain for the cowardly and incompetent Xu Xian.

In summary, the Madonna, fairies, and sirens—otherworldly beings—can fall in love with any ordinary person, but they can't find a "match" for them. This is an interesting and magical contrast, because in foreign fairy tales, princesses often end up with handsome princes. Even brave and fearless knights may not win the princess's heart, with the exception of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs...

So, what exactly causes this disparity? Is it due to the vastly different views on love and marriage across different cultural backgrounds? Or are there deeper socio-psychological factors at play?

"Hello, Grandpa. I'm sorry to bother you by coming to visit you without any prior knowledge." Wang Yiming was a little shy when meeting his parents.

"What kind of interruption is this? I asked you to come. If you didn't come, I would have to figure out the reason."

"……OK."

Lu Wanwan, who was standing next to them, took the initiative to come to the rescue, "Let's eat first, Grandpa. I'm hungry at noon."

"Yes, Grandpa Lu! Have you prepared a lot of delicious food here today? I can already smell the fragrance wafting over here." Liu Miaomiao also changed the subject.

Hearing his precious granddaughter crying out for hunger, Mr. Lu was no longer prepared to "confront" her.

"Xiao Zheng, hurry up and serve the meal. Wanwan and Miaomiao are hungry."

"okay."

Zheng Sufen agreed, and soon the food was served. However, just as the food was served, Mr. Lu wanted to drink.

"Xiao Zheng, go to the study and get my wine."

Mr. Lu pointed at Zhu Hongwei and Wang Yiming,

"Fill their glasses too. If Wanwan and Miaomiao want to try it, they can have one too."

Wang Yiming was curious and wanted to try it, but Lu Wanwan refused outright, "Grandpa, he just got out of the hospital and can't drink."

"This is medicinal wine. It's good for your health." Old Master Lu explained nonchalantly. When he was on the battlefield, he could bandage the wounds and drink at the same time. It was no big deal.

"What if this medicinal wine is not suitable for the disease?"

"How can this be? No way!"

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Lu Wanwan simply put on a stern face and said firmly,

"Anyway, no matter what, no one is allowed to drink today!"

Mr. Lu shook his head helplessly and had to compromise.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Come on and eat. Didn't you say you were hungry?"

"......OK."

Elders come first. After Mr. Lu picked up his chopsticks, everyone started to pick up the dishes. For a while, the only sounds on the table were the slight chewing sounds and the crisp sounds of the cutlery colliding.

There was no wine, so after three rounds of dishes, Mr. Lu took the initiative to launch an offensive. In fact, he knew very well that he could not change anything, but as the head of the family, he felt it necessary to teach this young man a good lesson in advance.

Wang Yiming, who felt the gaze of Mr. Lu, also knew that what was coming would eventually come. The old man wanted to talk to him, but the atmosphere was good and everyone was there. There was no one-on-one communication in the study.

Mr. Lu slowly said, "Boy, let me ask you a question."

Wang Yiming quickly responded respectfully, "Please speak!"

"To be fair, if you were in my position, would you be willing to let your granddaughter marry an ordinary man?"

Originally, Mr. Lu thought that Wang Yiming would say some empty and flashy words to deal with the matter, but to his surprise, Wang Yiming gave a negative answer without hesitation.

"Grandpa Lu, if it were me, I would definitely not want to do that."

Mr. Lu was slightly taken aback. This straightforward answer was obviously beyond his expectation. However, he quickly recovered and asked with interest,

"Oh? Why? Tell me."

"In this world, deep down, most people harbor a desire and yearning for something that requires no effort. After all, who wouldn't want to easily obtain something that would otherwise require immense effort?

Therefore, marrying a rich girl and thereby achieving a leap in social class has become an unattainable yet lingering beautiful fantasy in the hearts of many young men from poor backgrounds.

In the face of such utilitarian fantasies, sincere emotions and honest sincerity seem to become less precious and important.

Imagine this! You cherish your precious granddaughter, the apple of your eye, and you protect her with great care, holding her in your hands for fear of dropping her, and holding her in your mouth for fear of her melting.

But such a beloved girl was easily deceived by a few sweet words from another man. If this happened to anyone, it would be difficult to accept psychologically.

Mr. Lu sounded good. This guy summarized it very well, and it was exactly what he was thinking.

"So what do you think we should do?"

"I think the most appropriate solution is to carefully arrange a marriage for my granddaughter with a man of equal status. The two families don't have to be close friends with generations of friendship, but at least they should understand each other well.

Or, the other person is the child you have watched grow up. Only in this way can this marriage feel more solid and reliable."

Wang Yiming was suddenly kicked from under the table.

"Hmm." A muffled groan. Was his leader showing mercy or was he showing mercy...

"Ahem." Mr. Lu cleared his throat as if he didn't know and responded.

"What you said does make sense. In fact, I had the same idea at the beginning, but..." Someone suddenly appeared and stole his granddaughter away.

Although he didn't know what the second half of Mr. Lu's sentence was, according to the specific circumstances, it was indeed that he appeared too suddenly, so Wang Yiming followed the explanation.

"But matters of the heart are illogical. For you, and even for Wanwan and me, meeting each other was an unexpected and sudden event."

After saying that, Wang Yiming looked at Lu Wanwan opposite him. Lu Wanwan seemed to remember something and suddenly couldn't help laughing. It seemed that it was all because of the initial sentence "Beauty, I was wrong."

Mr. Lu glanced at his granddaughter, and the child smiled happily...
