After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

As they chatted, various dishes were gradually served.

After everyone raised their glasses to wish the old man a happy birthday, they officially began to eat.

It was a rare occasion for three generations to gather together like this, and the atmosphere was quite warm and lively.

"This is our signature dish, please try it."

During the meal, Fu Cheng kept putting food on his wife's plate.

"And this is your favorite flavor."

Before long, Lu Shiyi's husband had filled a bowl with food in front of her.

"Hmm, don't just keep putting food on my plate, you should eat some too."

As she spoke, Lu Shiyi also picked up some food for Fu Cheng.

After all, it's about reciprocity.

The couple's back-and-forth banter amused Grandpa Fu, who was standing nearby.

Isn't this exactly the loving scene he's been hoping for?

Similarly, this scene was also witnessed by the others present.

Unconsciously, he began to look up to Lu Shiyi, a girl from an ordinary background, and even admired her.

They all knew that the eldest son of the Fu family was forced to marry the wife by the old master of the Fu family.

This is also why Fu Cheng chose to keep his marriage a secret and conceal his identity.

They just didn't expect that in just one or two months, Fu Cheng's attitude towards his new wife had changed completely.

Because they all understood Fu Cheng, they understood even better what Fu Cheng's act of picking up food meant.

If he didn't do it willingly, no one could force him.

And this reaction from everyone was exactly what Fu Cheng wanted to see.

Without him saying a word, he could earn his wife the respect of everyone present.

He was declaring through his actions that Lu Shiyi was the wife he, Fu Cheng, approved of, without a doubt!

Because then he not only served his wife food, but also peeled shrimp for her.

Lu Shiyi simply picked up a shrimp for herself.

Fu Cheng then peeled a whole bowl of shrimp for her.

This prompted Fu Chen, who was standing nearby, to tease him, "Brother, I've never eaten a shrimp peeled by you before, can you peel one for me too?"

Fu Cheng glared at him, "Peel it yourself if you want to eat it."

Fu Chen shrank back and didn't say anything more.

He expected his older brother wouldn't peel it for him, but he didn't expect his older brother to be so fierce to him.

He treats his sister-in-law with completely different faces, humph!

Sure enough, if he wanted to get along well with his older brother in the future, he would have to cling to his sister-in-law.

During this time, Zeng Ruijie, who had been eating quietly, got up to answer a phone call.

When he returned, amidst the lively conversation of everyone, he opportunely interjected, "My aunt is here too, she'll be here soon."

He then glanced at Fu Cheng, his expression slightly grave.

Fu Cheng roughly understood what she meant, but didn't react. After exchanging a glance, he continued peeling shrimp for his wife.

Zeng Ruijie's aunt, Zeng Huizhen, is a nationally renowned obstetrician and gynecologist. It was she who helped Lu Shuyao when she suffered a massive hemorrhage and was in critical condition.

But Lu Shiyi was unaware of this.

Zeng Huizhen is a staunch non-marriage advocate; she spends most of her time either in the hospital or traveling.

In previous years, she would attend Grandpa Fu's birthday celebration if the timing was right, but if the timing didn't work out, she would have to skip it.

This year, just when everyone thought she was abroad and wouldn't have time to participate, she showed up unexpectedly.

When Zeng Huizhen returned from abroad, she heard from the housekeeper that this year's birthday banquet for Old Master Fu was being held at the Nancheng Grand Hotel, so she changed her clothes and came directly there.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, not knowing which private room it was, they called Zeng Ruijie.

Before Zeng Ruijie could even speak after receiving the call, Zeng Huizhen asked directly, "I'm at the entrance of the Nancheng Hotel. Which private room are you in?"

"Jingyue Pavilion, um, Aunt, there's something I need to tell you..."

As he was speaking, Zeng Huizhen on the other end of the phone had already hung up.

Ugh, I should have told him what he needed to say first, and then told him the name of the private room.

Zeng Huizhen was unaware that Fu Cheng was concealing his identity; no one had ever told her.

Now, we can only rely on Fu Cheng to improvise.

After entering the private room, Zeng Huizhen neatly took off her coat and then greeted everyone generously.

She was slender and at least 1.7 meters tall, dressed in casual clothes that were both simple and stylish.

Although she is over forty years old, there is no trace of time on her face.

Her neat and tidy short hair made her look smart and capable.

"Weren't we always staying at the manor in previous years? Why did we switch to a hotel this year?"

Zeng Huizhen's first words after greeting everyone were a devastating blow to Fu Cheng.

For a moment, everyone's expressions varied, and no one responded.

Only Lu Shiyi was completely bewildered, "The manor??"

Is it the kind of manor she imagined?

“It’s so boring to be in the same place every year, so this year we’re changing it to a hotel,” Fu Cheng replied calmly.

As for his wife's doubts, he would explain (or rather, confide) to her later.

“That’s true.” Zeng Huizhen walked up to Fu Cheng.

"Have you grown taller again, kid?"

Fu Cheng chuckled, "Aunt Zeng, you're joking. If I grow any taller, I'll be able to pierce the sky."

"Hahaha……"

A burst of hearty laughter followed.

"Acheng, you've changed quite a bit! You've even started joking around with people now," Zeng Huizhen said with a smile.

Noticing the unfamiliar face next to Fu Cheng, she turned and asked, "Is this your newlywed wife?"

Fu Cheng nodded and introduced with considerable pride, "Yes, Lu Shiyi."

At this moment, Lu Shiyi quickly stood up and greeted her husband, "Hello, Aunt Zeng."

Zeng Huizhen's deep gaze fell on the girl's pretty face, and after a moment, she praised, "Lu Shiyi, what a unique name!"

"Now I understand Grandpa Fu's decision. You and Acheng are a perfect match!"

"Thank you, Aunt Zeng. I'll take that as a compliment," Lu Shiyi said generously.

Then, Fu Cheng also expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you, Aunt Zeng, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Grandpa's birthday dinner."

Zeng Huizhen joked, "Are you two thanking me as a group?"

Then, she patted Fu Cheng on the shoulder and said in an elder's tone, "Cherish this girl, Eleven. I have high hopes for you two!"

For some reason, even though it was her first time meeting Lu Shiyi, she liked the girl from the bottom of her heart.

A very special feeling...
