If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Zhu Mingchuan's expression immediately changed. His smile vanished, and the smugness in his eyes turned to shock. He seemed unable to believe that his daughter would say such a thing!

He stared at Shen Yanqiu silently, as if time had frozen, and did not look away for a long time.

His eyes were initially filled with shock, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Subsequently, the shock gradually turned into endless grievances, like a child who has been bullied but has nowhere to complain.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly turned his gaze to Mother Zhu, and his body involuntarily moved toward her.

His once tall and upright figure now appeared as delicate and weak as a willow swaying in the breeze, as he gently leaned against Mother Zhu's warm embrace.

He stretched out a slightly trembling hand and pointed his index finger shakily in the direction of Shen Yanqiu.

His lips opened and closed silently, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.

But his hesitant expression and sorrowful face evoked pity in people.

Shen Yanqiu was impressed by his superb acting skills and secretly considered the feasibility of doing the same thing in the future.

Zhu's mother was speechless at his pretentious behavior. This old man was acting like a shy young girl, constantly saying "Wife, kiss me" and "Kiss my wife."

To be honest, after living together for so many years, she's become immune to these kinds of words after the initial novelty wears off.

At first, he felt unwell, with strong nausea and vomiting, but now he can listen to him without batting an eye.

When Zhu's mother met her daughter's gaze, both of them looked helpless, and they shook their heads and laughed silently.

She nudged the person who was burying their head in her arms, pretending to be sad, but the person didn't budge. They got the benefit but still acted innocent. They were scolded in the morning, but they still didn't learn their lesson.

"stand up!"

Zhu Mingchuan covered his ears, pretending not to hear.

"three!"

As soon as Zhu's mother finished speaking, Zhu Mingchuan immediately raised his head and gave her a fawning smile.

The speed at which this expression changed greatly shocked Shen Yanqiu.

Hey, Shen Yanqiu thinks he's found a way to subdue Zhu Mingchuan! It's all because he's dissatisfied with him!

Zhu Mingchuan kept his eyes on his mother, refusing to glance at Shen Yanqiu, his anger evident.

Shen Yanqiu offered him a way out: "Dad, I was just joking! You're not angry, are you?"

Zhu Mingchuan snorted and deliberately turned his head away from him.

Shen Yanqiu sighed deeply and said regretfully, "Sigh, could what I said be true? Could it be that you're really not my biological father? After all, what biological father would be willing to be angry with his daughter?"

Zhu Mingchuan jumped up and pointed at Shen Yanqiu's nose: "You're talking nonsense! I am your biological father, your own father!"

Shen Yanqiu still seemed unconvinced: "Really? Then why are you angry with me?"

Zhu Mingchuan retracted his fingers, avoiding eye contact: "I'm not angry, who's angry? Nonsense!"

"Oh, I'm glad you're not angry. I thought..."

"What do you think? Don't think!"

To stop Shen Yanqiu from continuing, Zhu Mingchuan simply cut him off, picked up the box again, opened it himself, and found a pair of earrings inside.

The earrings lay quietly on the soft velvet, radiating a captivating luster.

Their unique design resembles two butterflies fluttering in the air, their wings adorned with dazzling diamonds that shimmer with brilliant light.

He glanced at Shen Yanqiu, seemingly showing off, and then put the earrings on Zhu's mother's ears.

After putting them on, he admired them repeatedly, exclaiming, "Beautiful! The moment I saw these earrings today, I knew they would suit you perfectly. Wow, my wife is so beautiful!"

Zhu's mother was constantly charmed by his sweet words, and her smile never stopped, even now.

Zhu Mingchuan was overjoyed; he had made a really good choice!

He turned to Shen Yanqiu and deliberately asked, "What do you think? Isn't she beautiful?"

He'd been guessing for ages, only to find out it wasn't for him at all. And now he's asking me again? It's as clear as day.

"Beautiful! Mom is the most beautiful!"

Shen Yanqiu made up his mind to only praise Zhu's mother and not mention his earrings at all.

Zhu Mingchuan didn't care about any of that; as long as it sounded good, that was enough for him.

Then, as if by magic, he produced another box and handed it to Zhu's mother: "There's another surprise, honey, open it and see."

When Mom opened it, a string of pearls, radiating a captivating luster, lay quietly inside.

This pearl necklace seems to be a spirit born from the deep sea, each pearl is round and smooth, as dazzling as a star twinkling in the night sky.

They are arranged together in uniform size, forming a beautiful arc, and their delicate texture makes you want to reach out and touch them.

Under the light, the surface of the pearl reflects a soft glow, like moonlight falling on a calm lake, creating ripples.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that these pearls have a light pink hue, adding a touch of gentleness and romance to the entire necklace, making it perfect for wishing your mother well.

Zhu Mingchuan tried to put the pearls on his mother's earrings again, but she refused, saying, "I don't want pearls anymore; they don't match the earrings."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingchuan put on a pitiful expression and deliberately asked in a high-pitched voice, "Wife, don't you like me anymore?"

Shen Yanqiu got goosebumps when she heard his words. Could this be the voice of a decisive male CEO in his fifties?

But Zhu's mother remained calm, unaffected by his tone, and gently patted his arm, saying, "Liking something doesn't put food on the table! Can you eat now, my dear Mr. Zhu?"

Something someone said touched Zhu Mingchuan's heart. His face lit up with a bright smile, and he bent down to kiss his mother on the cheek, making a loud sound.

Not content with kissing the left side, he quickly kissed the right side while Zhu's mother raised her hand. By the time Zhu's mother's hand landed on him, he had already finished kissing her.

My wife gently touched me; it wasn't a slap at all, but a caress, a loving caress!

Zhu Mingchuan, beaming with pride, put his arm around his wife's waist, half-embracing her in his arms, and deliberately walked past Shen Yanqiu, raising his chin with blatant smugness in his eyes.

Shen Yanqiu was speechless. Zhu Mingchuan's behavior repeatedly refreshed his understanding of the word "president".

Are all CEOs in the world like this? Or is it common for CEOs to have "simp-like" marriages?

No, Shen Yingchu is not!

Shen Yanqiu recalled the way Shen Yingchu and Madam Shen got along, and then compared it to the daily interactions between Zhu Mingchuan and his mother.

Ugh, I can't think about it! It's awful, absolutely disgusting!

If Shen Yingchu knew that she thought of him like this, she would probably jump up and hit herself, right?

Before I knew it, Zhu Mingchuan and his mother had reached the dining table, the couple showing affection as if no one else was around.

When Shen Yanqiu looked up, he saw the dazzling light above him, just like himself at that moment—bright and superfluous.
