Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Beep beep beep!"

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden phone call startled the two people who were cuddling together.

Qin Huanhuan tilted her head slightly to look at the constantly ringing phone on the bedside table and said, "Xiao Zhan, it's your phone ringing."

At this moment, Xiao Zhan's head was buried in the cleavage between the woman's snow-white, high breasts. Without looking up, he said, "We'll get back to business later."

Qin Huanhuan helplessly hugged the stinky man's head...

Another ten minutes or so passed.

Xiao Zhan stood up, picked up his phone, and saw that the caller ID showed it was his mother, Lin Wanrong. A faint smile appeared on his lips. After thinking for a moment, he said to Qin Huanhuan, "It's my mom calling."

Upon hearing that it was Xiao Zhan's mother, Qin Huanhuan quickly said, "Then you should call back right away. Auntie must have something to say to you. She must be worried because she can't reach you."

Xiao Zhan: "Then I'll make a call on speakerphone so you can hear it too."

In fact, Xiao Zhan knew his mother's personality; she was definitely calling to interrogate him.

He didn't want to hide this from Qin Huanhuan, mainly because he was afraid that his mother would cause trouble for Qin Huanhuan in private while he was away.

Qin Huanhuan was engrossed in what Xiao Zhan was saying and didn't pay attention to what he was saying.

Xiao Zhan called back, and the call was answered quickly.

as predicted,

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wanrong immediately questioned in an accusatory tone: "Son, what do you mean? I just mentioned you and Qin Huanhuan this morning, and you immediately took her to a friend's gathering, had those guys give Qin Huanhuan gifts, called her 'sister-in-law' in public, and even posted the video online?"

"I'm asking you, what do you want to do?"

"Just create a fait accompli so that your dad and I will agree."

"Aren't you just blatantly going against Mom?"

"Do you even consider me your mother anymore?"

"Do you still have any respect for the elders of the Xiao family?"

Lin Wanrong immediately began to label Xiao Zhan with several serious accusations.

She knew Xiao Zhan was a filial son, which is why she said that on purpose.

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice, "Mom, didn't I tell you? I'll make my own decisions about my marriage. I'm over twenty years old, and I can handle my own affairs."

"You and Dad don't need to worry about it."

"Take off!"

Qin Huanhuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, completely disregarding that she was completely naked, and looked at Xiao Zhan with her clear and bright eyes.

Because she overheard the conversation between Lin Wanrong and her son...

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan finally understood that it was all arranged by Xiao Zhan that these people gave her gifts, called her "sister-in-law," and posted the video online.

The exceptionally intelligent Qin Huanhuan understood what was going on from just a few words exchanged between Xiao Zhan and his mother.

Xiao Zhan quickly signaled to Qin Huanhuan to keep quiet.

Then he said, "Mom, it's nothing, I'm busy right now!"

Lin Wanrong quickly said, "Xiao Zhan, if you dare hang up the phone, I'll kill myself. I'm doing this for your own good. There's too much of a difference in your social status. If you get together, you'll definitely regret it later. Even if you get married, you won't be happy because a marriage without your parents' blessings won't last."

"You can keep her as a mistress outside."

"Mom will introduce you to a wealthy heiress in Beijing."

Xiao Zhan's face immediately darkened, and he said in an icy tone, "Mom, what era are we living in? Why are you still concerned about status and position? Go back three generations in the capital, who isn't a commoner? Who is any more noble than anyone else?"

"The idea of ​​marrying someone of equal social standing is a joke."

Xiao Zhan paused and then said, "Qin Huanhuan and I are truly in love, Mom. Please, please stop bothering us. And please don't try to scare me with those typical woman tactics—crying, making a scene, threatening suicide. I admit I'm filial, but I won't be blindly obedient."

"I only like Qin Huanhuan, and I only have feelings for her. I don't want to see or talk to other girls."

*Smack!*

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and threw it on the bedside table.

"Thud!"

Xiao Zhan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke. He then said to Qin Huanhuan, who had been staring at him, "You heard it all. I never intended to hide this from you."

Qin Huanhuan, clutching her pillow, calmly said, "Auntie told us to separate, so this is how you deal with her."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "I admit that all of this was part of my plan, but the gift was something Bai Zerui and Kong Zhixiang wanted to give themselves. I only came up with these ideas after receiving Bai Zerui's call. When they gave the gift and called you 'sister-in-law,' I asked Shen Jun to film it and post it online."

Qin Huanhuan: "Then why did you lie to me when I asked you earlier and you said you didn't know?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not that I wanted to lie to you, but if my mother hadn't called, I still wouldn't have told you these things. Because, wouldn't it seem like I'm putting on a show by saying these things unilaterally?"

"What if you don't believe me?"

"Wouldn't I be trapping myself in this mess?"

Qin Huanhuan smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect you to have such a falling out with your mother because of me. Don't you regret it?"

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "What's there to regret? My mom will figure it out sooner or later and accept you."

Qin Huanhuan nodded.

What could she possibly say at that moment?

Xiao Zhan made this choice.

She was deeply moved.

But deep down, Qin Huanhuan had some worries.

Lin Wanrong's words, "A marriage without the blessing of parents will not be happy," deeply stung her heart.

at the same time,

Holding her phone, Lin Wanrong trembled with anger and shouted at Xiao Fei, who was sitting on the sofa, "Xiao Fei, you saw it, didn't you? Your son dares to hang up on me now and doesn't listen to me anymore. It's infuriating!"

"This truly proves the old saying, 'A grown son is no longer under his mother's control!'"

Xiao Fei coldly observed Lin Wanrong, frowning as he said, "I told you long ago not to interfere too much in Xiao Zhan's marriage. Lin Ruoxi is a prime example; aren't you going to learn from that?"

Lin Wanrong rolled her eyes and screamed hysterically, "Xiao Fei, you're talking to me like that now, and you even blame me for interfering in my son's marriage? Don't you think you're shameless?"

"Xiao Zhan's engagement to Lin Ruoxi was approved by the old man at the time. Although I later learned that there were some unknown things involved, wasn't my intention to strengthen family ties and keep the good stuff in the family?"

Xiao Fei: "You saw our son's attitude just now. I don't think he went too far. It's your thinking that's outdated and out of touch with the times. Besides, now that the video is online, everyone knows our son has a girlfriend, and girls from other families won't date Xiao Zhan anymore."

"So you should stop interfering in your son's marriage."

Lin Wanrong rolled her eyes in anger and said, "You know nothing! The other day, Deng Zhi told me he wanted his sister to be with our son. Do you even know what kind of power the Deng family and the Xiao family would be if this marriage went through?!"

Xiao Fei: "Then you need Xiao Zhan's consent first."

"However, Deng Ying, the youngest daughter of the Deng family, is indeed stunningly beautiful, and she is also a doctoral student who returned from overseas. Wait a minute, Xiao Zhan and Deng Ying have been childhood sweethearts, so why did Deng Zhi have to bring this up? I think there must be something fishy going on. You'd better be careful."
