Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

But that's all he can think about now; in this situation, he has to rely on himself.

Mr. Gu said with a smile—

"Mr. Chen Ming..."

"Just call me Chen Ming, Uncle Gu."

Chen Ming finally had the opportunity to protest against this title. What was it like to be called "Mr." by an elder all the time?

If they were just outsiders, it wouldn't matter, but these are Gu Qing's parents, and Chen Ming still wanted to get closer to them... Indeed, his thoughts were slowly drifting towards Gu Qing's man, which was inevitable.

After all, Gu Qing gave him everything, and he didn't refuse it, so he should bear the corresponding obligations, such as making Gu Qing's parents happy.

This is very important.

It's impossible to reap benefits without paying a price. Even if Gu Qing only wants to give, Chen Ming can't just accept; he can't do that.

Central air conditioning systems also have a "giving" nature.

She's just a bit too sentimental.

Okay, not just a little, but a lot.

Aunt Bai blinked and smiled as she said—

"Can I call him son-in-law? Anyway, Gu Qing seems determined not to let go. You probably won't be able to get rid of her, right? It's only a matter of time."

"Forehead……"

Chen Ming scratched his head awkwardly. Aunt Bai had indeed guessed perfectly. He couldn't stop Gu Qing's "act of repaying kindness" at all. He had been coerced by Gu Qing... Well, he shouldn't say anything more like that, getting the benefit while pretending to be innocent.

Too much to beat.

Gu Qing is so beautiful, with a youthful face and large breasts, and she's also incredibly devoted and successful in her career. You could call her a "rich loli," and a legal one at that. With such great qualities, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Who could resist that? So, half-heartedly, I gave in... to Miss Gu...

Hmm? The more I think about it, the stranger it seems?

Chen Ming fell into deep thought again.

Who really gained and who lost? On which floor is Gu Qing? It seems impossible to say.

Chen Ming shook his head and said to Aunt Bai—

"If Aunt Bai wants to call me that... that's fine, isn't it..."

I still have to take responsibility. This was decided long ago. Since I can't get rid of it, I might as well accept it. What's wrong with a legal, beautiful, rich young woman throwing herself at me?

No.

very satisfied.

He is very honest.

Aunt Bai happily took his hand, making him feel close and kind, and then said—

"Son-in-law, we have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"How old are you exactly? And what do you do for a living...?"

Aunt Bai's eyes showed some worry as she exchanged a glance with Mr. Gu. No matter how they investigated, they couldn't find anything wrong with him.

From birth until now, he has been just like a normal, ordinary big boy.

But if he's really just an ordinary person, how could he transform into an angel and create miracles? What exactly is going on? They desperately want to find out what kind of person their daughter has chosen.

This is only natural.

Chen Ming thought for a moment and decided to be honest. He figured he couldn't avoid it anyway, so he said—

“I am indeed 23 years old, an ordinary person… but I have an angelic partner… and I have many girls in my family.”

Chen Ming didn't know what would happen if he told Gu Qing's parents, but since he was facing Gu Qing's parents, he had an obligation to explain the situation clearly.

Let them know that I'm a womanizer, so they won't bother to hide it.

He wasn't unaware that doing this would offend them, and might even lead them to oppose his relationship with Gu Qing, but since he had already done it, he should be honest about it.

You must take responsibility for whatever you do.

When Aunt Bai heard his words, the soft hand covering his lap trembled slightly, indicating that she was somewhat agitated.

Mr. Gu lowered his gaze slightly and remained silent for a moment.

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and didn't run away, sitting up straight. But to openly build a harem like this might just be worse.

Mr. Gu lit a cigarette before remembering to ask Chen Ming if he could smoke, which showed that he was somewhat distracted.

I stubbed out the cigarette I had just lit.

Mr. Gu looked at the ashtray and said—

“If it were before, I would definitely be furious. Our daughter should live her life according to our wishes and the path we have drawn for her. She cannot do anything that is not worthwhile.”

"Finally, she must marry the husband we choose. That person must be of good character, successful in his career, responsible, and a thoroughly successful person. Only in this way can she find true happiness."

"However, reality slapped us hard in the face, and it was Gu Qing herself who slapped us, overturning us and telling us that all of our stuff is bullshit..."

As Mr. Gu spoke, he couldn't help but smile, a smile tinged with bitterness but also with understanding; he had thought about it a lot.

He looked at Chen Ming, a boy with a somewhat cold face but very polite manners. He was actually a warm-hearted man, though he was somewhat different from the ideal partner for his daughter.

It's not bad, but it's still pretty bad.

There are some contradictions.

This conflict likely stems from the ideological clash between the older and younger generations. Gu Qing only cares about whether he can be genuinely kind to her and make her feel warm; after all, she has never lacked money or power, and that's all she wants.

Mr. Gu simply wanted to find the "best" for her, but perhaps there is no such thing as the best. All they did was not as good as that first love.

The result will probably just be a mess.

Mr. Gu sighed and scratched his head, an unladylike gesture that indicated he had given up and become more casual.

He smiled and said—

"Take good care of her, although I knew you would. I've lived most of my life and I'm quite confident in my judgment of people. But as an old father, I'm still asking you for this."

Even if I know the answer, I can't help but grumble a bit. It seems I'm really getting old and can't keep my feelings to myself anymore.

Aunt Bai smiled, took his hand, patted it gently, and said—

"I'm also asking my son-in-law... Don't be fooled by Gu Qing's current obedience to you; her fiery temper might not hold back in the future, so please bear with her."

"..."

While mothers are said to know their children's personalities best, is it really okay for her to keep criticizing Gu Qing like this? It seems she's definitely her biological mother.

He smiled at them and said—

"Leave Gu Qing to me... Dad, Mom."

In an instant, the atmosphere became harmonious again.

Chapter 661 Mother-in-law's Gift

They chatted happily, and while Gu Qing was away, they made sure she was taken care of. Since she had already run away, she had no idea what they were discussing.

They chatted for a long time, not saying much else, just everyday things, and stories about Gu Qing's childhood. Aunt Bai took out some things, including photos of Gu Qing when she was little.

Looking at the fierce-looking little girl in the photo, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel a bit curious, yet also found her incredibly cute, like a porcelain doll.

"This photo is of Gu Qing when she was in junior high school, sigh..."

Aunt Bai rested one cheek on her hand with some annoyance, looking at Gu Qing inside.

Chen Ming put the elementary school photo aside and watched as Gu Qing, now in junior high, had grown into a beautiful young woman.

only……

It seems like Gu Qinghe from junior high hasn't changed much. No, that's not quite right. It should be that only her chest has gotten bigger.

Aunt Bai said—

"I don't know what happened. The family chef should have prepared a very balanced diet for her, but she stopped growing after junior high school and has remained short ever since."

As a mother, of course she wanted her daughter to grow into a tall and beautiful woman, but she didn't know if it was because Gu Qing was born with a deficiency that she could only grow this short.

It's a bit of a shame, to be honest.

But Chen Ming didn't think so. He smiled and said—

"Being short is good too."

"Does my son-in-law like little girls?"

"..."

Chen Ming froze, looking at Aunt Bai who was covering her mouth and chuckling, realizing that he had been tricked, and felt a little helpless.

He said—

"I just like Gu Qing."

Mr. Gu smiled and said—

"Then we won't bother you any longer; it's time for us to go back and take a look around."

Are you leaving already?

Chen Ming got up with them and walked outside together. The car was already waiting outside—a black sedan.

Of course, Chen Ming was completely incapable of recognizing cars, and he couldn't identify what kind of car it was.

He saw them to their car and said—

"Aren't you going to ask Gu Qing to come down and see you off?"

"no need."

Mr. Gu shook his head and said with some emotion—

"Today's conversation with her was more than the total of the previous few years combined."
