After chatting for a short while, the food from Huicuilou was delivered, and the dining table in the living room was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes.

Jiang Ran took the lead, clearing the table and setting out the food. After that, Jiang Jianping returned from the police station after giving his statement.

Upon entering the room and seeing Wen Ling sitting on the sofa, Jiang Jianping immediately became nervous.

"Dad, this is Xiaoling. Like Aunt Ranran, her mother is also a housewife."

Lin Sufang cheerfully explained, also reminding Jiang Jianping that the beauty salon's fraudulent activities had nothing to do with Wen Ling's mother.

In fact, even if Lin Sufang hadn't explained it, Jiang Jianping could tell from the sharp aura emanating from Wen Ling sitting there that she must be from a wealthy family and had been well-educated.

However, despite this, Jiang Jianping was even more worried.

The imposing Wen Ling before him was six years older than his son, and their marriage was a whirlwind romance arranged by a matchmaker. His son was likely to suffer a lot after the wedding...

Hello, Uncle.

Seeing that Jiang Jianping hadn't said anything, Wen Ling took the initiative to stand up and nodded to him in greeting.

The moment she opened her mouth, a chill ran through him; her imposing aura, like that of a female leader, made even the nearly sixty-year-old Jiang Jianping quite nervous.

Hello, hello.

Jiang Jianping chuckled, awkwardly rubbed his hands, and sat down on the sofa.

Jiang Ran never expected that her father, who was extremely serious when it came to important matters, would also be outmaneuvered by Wen Ling. She held back her laughter until her stomach hurt.

He said that no one could handle Wen Ling's aura!

If it weren't for the constant pressure from his family right after his breakup, he wouldn't have gone through with this marriage!

Seeing that Jiang Jianping had taken a seat, Wen Ling sat back down on the sofa.

She sat upright, just as she did in the office, with her back straight and her eyes fixed straight ahead.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became awkward.

Seeing her father's nervous and embarrassed expression, Jiang Ran bit her lip to suppress a laugh, took out an unopened bottle of wine from the cabinet, and kindly suggested, "Dad, why don't you have a drink?"

As if seeing a savior, Jiang Jianping nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Pour some more, pour some more. It's a good day today, I'll drink less too."

Lin Sufang didn't say much, she just busied herself distributing bowls and chopsticks to everyone.

After downing a glass of wine, Jiang Jianping seemed to regain some of his courage. He turned to Wen Ling and said, "Ling, let's eat! Now that you and Ranran are married, we're family. Don't be shy at home!"

"Yes, eat more. This is our own home, there are no outsiders here!"

Lin Sufang also looked at Wen Ling with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

Wen Ling nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and only picked up her chopsticks after seeing Jiang Jianping start eating.

Seeing her pick up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth, Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Wen Ling with great gratitude, planning to thank her properly after dinner.

After all, he really didn't want his parents to know too much about their relationship.

Just like Qin Yiyao, Jiang Ran now understands why her roommate Wu Tianhai always talks about dating online.

In reality, if you start a relationship and bring someone home, let alone break up, even a small argument can cause chaos and conflict between both families...

"Xiao Ling, don't just eat vegetables, have some meat too. Zheng Ji Braised Pork is the best around here, I specially bought it fresh out of the pot!"

As Lin Sufang spoke, she picked up a slice of braised pork belly and placed it on the lukewarm plate.

Wen Ling paused, her gaze falling on the piece of meat.

Noticing the fat on the piece of meat, Jiang Ran reacted quickly, picking out the fatty pieces and saying, "Mom, we young people don't like to eat fatty meat. You eat yours, no need to help me!"

"This fatty meat is delicious!" Lin Sufang was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Mom remembers you loved eating their fatty meat with rice the most, why don't you like it anymore?"

Jiang Ran's toes tightened instantly. His brain raced as he tried to figure out how to explain.

But the next second, when Jiang Ran heard Wen Ling's words, he was instantly stunned!

"Auntie, I'm currently trying to conceive, so it's not suitable for me to eat too much oily food."

"Preparing...preparing for pregnancy?!"

Lin Sufang was stunned, looking at Wen Ling with a look of astonishment.

With a "clatter," the chopsticks in Jiang Jianping's hand fell to the ground.

"Yes, because I'm not young anymore, and if I delay any longer, there will be risks associated with being an older mother, so Jiang Ran and I have agreed to get pregnant as soon as possible."

Wen Ling smiled and explained calmly.

The calmer she remained, the more shocked the three people beside her became!

No, he was just about to say that he hadn't brought this to his parents' door, and Wen Ling, she just said it already?!

Jiang Jianping remained silent, staring blankly at Wen Ling, not even bothering to bend down and pick up his chopsticks.

Lin Sufang, being a woman herself, quickly realized what was going on, "What do you mean by 'older'? Xiaoling, you only look two or three years older than Ranran..."

"Auntie, I'm six years older than Jiang Ran."

Wen Ling raised her hand and pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, her tone calm.

However, when the word "six years old" was mentioned, Wen Ling's eyes still unconsciously glanced at Jiang Ran.

It's said online that there's a generation gap every three years, and there are two generation gaps between her and Jiang Ran, far less than Jiang Ran's peers like her ex-girlfriend...

When Wen Ling said these words to Jiang Ran's parents in person, she was actually a little scared.

She feared that this generation gap would become an obstacle preventing her from communicating with Jiang Ran, and that his parents would not welcome her after hearing the news themselves...

However, it is clear that Wen Ling's worries in the latter half were unnecessary.

Lin Sufang smiled and placed her hand on Wen Ling's hand. "It's nothing. 'A woman three years older than her husband is like holding a gold brick,' and Ranran is practically holding two gold bricks now, isn't she?"

"Being older isn't a big deal. I'm four years younger than Ranran's mom, it's only a couple more years!"

Jiang Jianping, who had been silent all along, also realized what was happening and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Seeing Wen Ling's eyes flicker slightly, Jiang Ran, knowing she disliked close physical contact, quickly changed the subject: "Sis, don't think about it so much, let's eat first!"

"Yes, let's eat first!"

Lin Sufang smiled and nodded, adding casually, "There's no rush about having children. You and Ranran have only just met; in our older generation's terms, this is called a whirlwind marriage. You two should cultivate your relationship first!"

Jiang Jianping nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, as the old saying goes, a honeymoon after marriage is a must! These days, young people love to go on their honeymoon as soon as they get their marriage certificate, don't they?"

Lin Sufang followed closely: "Yes, yes, speaking of which, it's been a week since you two got your marriage certificate, have you gone out to have some fun?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran tensed up and subconsciously swallowed.

No, he and Wen Ling have been busy with cooking for the entire week...

Does this count as a honeymoon?

Beside her, Wen Ling, who was still in a state of tension and fear, suddenly trembled as she held her chopsticks.

Memories of those passionate nights with Jiang Ran after we moved into the villa after our marriage flashed through my mind, and my cheeks instantly flushed...
