As Lu Shiyi turned his head to the side, he felt a tissue fly directly onto his face.

Accompanying this were three words: "Wipe it yourself!"

Lu Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the tissue that had fallen on the table, covered her mouth with it, and wiped it. Finally, she saw the millet grain of steamed rice cake on the tissue.

Lu Shiyi glanced at Fu Cheng across from her, then lowered her head to continue eating her breakfast.

No wonder Grandpa Fu was in a hurry to arrange his marriage. If he had to rely on himself, he would probably end up alone.

After finishing their meal, the two went directly to the farmers' market.

Despite having a shopping list, they still shopped for over an hour. During that time, Lu Shiyi was in charge of buying things in front, while Fu Cheng followed behind carrying them. As the number of groceries increased, Fu Cheng started to pant.

He exercises regularly and has some martial arts skills. He is good at weightlifting, long-distance running, and Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). However, he simply doesn't have the energy or ability to handle things like shopping.

After finishing their shopping, Lu Shiyi pulled the cart ahead, while Fu Cheng followed behind, carrying groceries in both hands. The two remained one in front of the other.

In the middle of the journey, Lu Shiyi occasionally looked back and found that her husband had been left far behind, so she stopped walking.

When Fu Cheng caught up, Lu Shiyi glanced at her slightly tired husband. Sure enough, white-collar workers who sit in the office for long periods of time are all a bit tired.

She asked with concern, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

Before he could even utter the words, "How about I do it?", Fu Cheng's face had already turned completely black.

His deep, dark eyes flashed with a cold light. What was this woman saying?

Okay... or not... okay?

This is a matter of a man's dignity!

Fu Cheng brushed past Lu Shiyi with a dark expression, ignoring her.

If she is the wife he approves of, he will let her know whether he is truly capable or not!

Lu Shiyi felt like she was being frozen into an ice sculpture by her husband's cold gaze. She couldn't understand why he was angry when she was just showing him some concern.

After they got into the car, neither of them mentioned the little incident that had just happened.

Speechless all the way.

As Lu Shiyi approached the residential area, he received a call from Grandpa Fu.

"We're already on our way for the National Day holiday. There's some traffic, so we estimate it will take about half an hour to get there."

It was clear that Mr. Fu was in a very good mood.

Lu Shiyi smiled and said, "Grandpa, take your time on the road. There's no rush. We just came back from shopping. You can just come up when you arrive."

"Okay, okay, we're not in a hurry, see you in a bit."

After saying that, Grandpa Fu smiled and hung up the phone.

The thought of the young couple shopping together filled Grandpa Fu with immense joy, and he couldn't wait to get there.

But looking at the terrible road conditions ahead, his relaxed brows instantly furrowed deeply.

He turned to the handsome young man in the driver's seat next to him and scolded him: "Look at the route you chose, the traffic is so bad it's like a snail's pace!"

Fu Chen, sitting in the driver's seat, looked resentful. He had followed the navigation exactly. Besides, this was usually the family driver's job. Today, he had volunteered to be the driver, and instead of being rewarded with a little red flower for his service, he was complaining.

He suddenly felt wronged and said, "Grandpa, I'm your own grandson too. Aren't you afraid I'll be sad?"

The old man glanced sideways at Fu Chen, his own grandson and Fu Cheng's younger brother, who was driving, and smiled jokingly, "How about I find you a wife too?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chen was so frightened that he immediately refused, almost spitting out his own words.

"No, no, no, no, no..."

He was afraid that the old man would misunderstand his hesitation and force him to marry another woman.

Like his brother.

Fu Chen is twenty-three years old this year, five years younger than his older brother Fu Cheng. Ever since he can remember, his older brother has always been aloof and arrogant, and he has always been very strict with him. Therefore, he has always respected and feared his older brother.

When he was a child, he always wondered why he wasn't the eldest, so he could be more powerful and imposing than his older brother. But as he grew up, he realized that being the second oldest was the happiest thing.

It was because his elder brother supported the entire Fu Group that he was able to freely pursue his passion and establish his own self-media company.

It was precisely because his older brother was ahead of him in line that he was spared the situation of his grandfather forcing a wife upon him.

Therefore, he now feels more gratitude and a touch of sympathy towards his elder brother Fu Cheng.

He could hardly imagine what it would be like for his elder brother, such an aloof and unapproachable person, to fall into the mundane world and enter into marriage.

Especially when she thought about what her grandfather had emphasized to her, that her older brother was now an ordinary person hiding his identity, her curiosity became even stronger.

Today, he drove his family chef's ordinary car, with his grandfather and his parents in the back seat, to his older brother's poor little house, with a hint of schadenfreude, as if watching a spectacle.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at the young couple's home.

At this moment, Lu Shiyi and Fu Cheng were in the kitchen preparing ingredients for lunch.

Although Fu Cheng had been pampered since childhood, his upbringing taught him that his wife was not a nanny, and he could not simply wash his hands of the matter.

So even though he wasn't used to it, he still showed up in the kitchen to help his wife.

Hearing the doorbell ring, Lu Shiyi, who was washing vegetables, quickly wiped her hands and went to open the door.

"Grandpa!" Lu Shiyi called out first when he saw Grandpa Fu at the front.

Next was a middle-aged couple. If she hadn't known beforehand that they were her in-laws, she would have thought they were only in their late forties, with a child who had just started junior high school. Compared to her own parents of the same age, they looked at least a generation younger.

"Dad, Mom"

After practicing the words "Mom and Dad" in his mind, Lu Shiyi called out the words with some awkwardness.

"Eh~" Old Master Fu replied happily.

Next was Fu Hongren, Fu Cheng's father. He looked kindly at his daughter-in-law and responded with a smile.

Since his mother, Fu Cheng's grandmother, passed away three years ago, he had not seen the old man smile so genuinely for a long time.

The mother's biggest regret before she passed away was not being able to see her most beloved grandson get married, and this had always been a source of heartache for the old man. Now that this heartache has finally been resolved, he is overjoyed.

As for the eldest son, Fu Cheng, he trusted his father's judgment and agreed with his father's approach; otherwise, he was afraid that his mother's regret would become his own.

His wife, Cheng Xueping, Fu Cheng's mother, wasn't entirely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but she was quite open-minded. Since the two had already gotten married with the old man's help, she figured it was better to let things take their course than to go to great lengths to find fault with her daughter-in-law and disrupt family harmony. Perhaps she could even have a grandson sooner.

So she responded politely, a faint smile always on her face.

Following at the back was Fu Chen, who, without waiting for Lu Shiyi to greet him, took the initiative to say warmly, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Then, turning his head unintentionally, he saw his older brother coming out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, and following behind his sister-in-law.

That scene... that kind of shock...

He couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing...
