Shocking! A three-year-old brings his aloof mother to their door.

"Wow! Daddy, there's a balance bike!" Tongtong's attention was drawn to several brand-new children's toys in the corner.

A cool children's balance bike, along with several beautiful dolls and educational toys, were clearly carefully prepared for her by her elders.

Mo Ye's gaze fell on a few small velvet boxes in the corner of the dressing table.

He walked over and opened it. Inside were several small and exquisite pieces of gold jewelry, two delicately carved little golden dragons and phoenixes, a chubby little carp pendant, a peace lock engraved with "Longevity and Prosperity," and several pairs of small gold bracelets.

Apart from the dragon and phoenix symbolizing a perfect couple, the rest are clearly prepared for Tongtong.

"Mom and Dad are really..." Mo Ye shook his head with a smile, picked up the safety lock and the small gold bracelet, and walked to his daughter's side.

"Tongtong, look, these are gifts from your grandparents and great-grandparents."

Tongtong was studying the scooter when she heard this. She looked up and saw the golden bracelet and lock, and her little brows furrowed slightly.

She stretched out her chubby little hand for her dad to put it on, but the heavy feeling on her wrist made her shake it uncomfortably: "Daddy, this is too heavy~ Tongtong doesn't like it."

She secretly thought to herself: "Unlike Qianqian, I can't buy ice cream and spicy snacks with Tongtong. Tongtong likes red paper..."

She doesn't like things that aren't about money...

Mo Ye understood; her daughter, like her mother, didn't particularly like wearing such ornaments.

He said gently, "Then Daddy will ask Mommy to put it away for you and keep it safe. You can wear it when Tongtong grows up, okay?"

"Okay!" Tongtong nodded immediately, quickly took off the bracelet, and stuffed it into He Wanqing's hand. "Mommy, please keep it safe for me~"

He Wanqing smiled and took it, then opened the wardrobe to get her pajamas, before pajamas paused slightly.

The wardrobe is neatly organized and filled with women's and children's clothing for the current season.

At the very edge of the wardrobe, a pitifully few men's clothes hung, vaguely recognizable as being in Mo Ye's style, and it seemed that only one of them was new; one might have thought they were given away for free...

Mo Ye peeked out and his lips twitched: "...Fine, I guess I was just a side trip after all."

He Wanqing couldn't help but smile, the warm feeling in her heart growing stronger.

She took out a set of light pink cotton long-sleeved and long-legged pajamas, a conservative style but extremely soft and skin-friendly fabric. She also took out a set of pajamas in the same color for Tongtong. Although she had brought her own clothes, she still chose the clothes from the inner layer.

"I'll take Tongtong to take a bath," she said gently.

"Okay, everything in the bathroom is new. The pink towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste cups are for you." Mo Ye pointed in a direction.

When the mother and daughter returned to the second-floor living room, fresh from their showers and carrying a faint fragrance, Mo Ye had already turned on the TV, and there were cut fruits and nuts on the coffee table.

This is his habit when he's at home; he always likes to sit in the living room with his parents in the evening, watch TV, and chat.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Hui and Mo Chashan also came up.

Jiang Hui was holding a fluffy glutinous rice ball in her arms. Its round face, round eyes, and short limbs were Yuan Yuan, the mother of the cat Tuan Tuan.

"Meow!" Tongtong's eyes lit up, and she climbed off the sofa. "Grandma, it looks just like Tuantuan from home!"

"Of course it looks like her, Tuantuan is her child." Mo Ye explained with a smile, reaching out to Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan glanced at him lazily from in Jiang Hui's arms. After being put down, she walked gracefully to Mo Ye's feet with her short legs and rubbed her head against his trouser leg.

Mo Ye patted its fluffy little head with satisfaction: "At least you still have some conscience. I haven't spoiled you for nothing. You still remember your father."

Yuan Yuan squinted her eyes in enjoyment, paused for a few seconds, and then suddenly turned her round body around.

With a clear goal in mind, it walked towards He Wanqing, obediently squatted down at her feet, tilted its head back, and its round cat eyes were filled with a longing for a hug.

He Wanqing has never been able to resist these furry little creatures, and her heart softened, so she bent down and picked it up.

Yuan Yuan is quite heavy, probably weighing over ten kilograms, a warm and cuddly little cat.

It skillfully adjusted its position in He Wanqing's arms, found the most comfortable angle, made a satisfied gurgling sound in its throat, and closed its eyes to pretend to sleep.

Tongtong also rubbed against her, gently stroking the round, smooth, and soft fur on its back with her little hands, looking very happy.

Mo Ye grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and leisurely ate them.

Mo Chashan picked up the brewed tea and took a sip; a faint aroma of tea filled the living room.

After exchanging a few casual words, Mo Chashan put down his teacup and calmly got to the point:

"I've met all the villagers today, so it's fair to say I've officially become their relative."

If everything is suitable for you two, especially the wedding, it's best to hold it as soon as possible to give Wanqing and Tongtong an explanation.

Of course, these are just our thoughts, your mother's and my thoughts; ultimately, it's up to you two to make your own arrangements.

Mo Ye looked at his parents: "Dad, Mom, what are your thoughts? Do you have any specific requests?"

Mo Chashan glanced at him: "What can I think? You're all parents now, you're adults."

Your mother and I have Tongtong, that's enough for us now. It's your own business, you make your own decisions, we won't interfere.

He paused for a moment, then said, "As long as you're doing well and living a peaceful life, that's all that matters."

Jiang Hui also chimed in:

"That's right! You're both adults. Discuss things together. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, your dad and I have no objections."

Let us know when you feel the time is right and you've made a decision.

"When the time comes, your father and I will definitely go to Wanqing's house to propose marriage in a grand and respectable manner. We will show you all the proper etiquette and will never let Wanqing suffer any injustice."

These words not only expressed the elders' expectations but also gave them ample respect and space.

He Wanqing, who had been holding her breath, finally relaxed completely, and her heart was filled with comfort and gratitude.

She is so lucky to have such in-laws.

Mo Ye squeezed He Wanqing's hand and solemnly said to his parents:

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. After we go back after the Dragon Boat Festival, I'll find a proper time to visit Wanqing's parents first. Then the two families can sit down and discuss it properly."

Mo Chashan nodded: "Yes, as long as you two have discussed it and agreed."

Changing the subject, Mo Chashan looked at Tongtong, who was intently petting the cat, and asked with a smile:

"Tongtong, do you want to go sell bamboo leaves for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) tomorrow?"

"Go! Tongtong wants to go!" Tongtong immediately raised her little hand, responding enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling as if she could already see the ice cream beckoning to her.

Jiang Hui looked at Mo Ye and He Wanqing:

"What about you tomorrow? There's market day in town, it'll be very lively. Would you like to take Wanqing and Tongtong to have a look around and experience our local market?"

Mo Ye turned to He Wanqing for her opinion: "Wanqing, would you like to go take a look? It's quite interesting, different from the shopping malls in the city..."
