Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting couldn’t make himself genuinely happy. He felt like a puppet and just wanted everything to end quickly.
The guests couldn’t help but praise the soon-to-be-wed couple for their looks and talents. Nearby, Song Can, hearing this, felt even more delighted.
Grandpa Gu did not attend the engagement. Firstly, his health had deteriorated, and secondly, he had no desire to attend. Although Gu Shaoting was his only grandson, his only granddaughter-in-law in his heart was Shu Pan. He couldn’t warm up to Tong Fei, so he used excuses to stay away.
Gu Shaoting understood his grandfather’s thoughts and didn’t say anything. But Tong Fei felt uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but think, “We’re already engaged, who is Grandpa Gu trying to show this to?”

Of course, Shu Pan saw the news but simply smiled and let the gossip pass.
Wen Chi and Shu Pan had been together for nearly two months. Wen Chi had always been polite and respectful to Shu Pan.
After dinner one evening, Wen Chi suddenly looked up at Shu Pan and said, “Pan, are you free this weekend? I want to take you to meet my parents, okay?”
Shu Pan, who was in the middle of clearing the dishes, paused when she heard this. Honestly, she was not mentally prepared for this.
“Um… Have you told your parents about us? Do they know about Joy?” She asked nervously.
“I mentioned our relationship to them, but I haven’t told them about Joy. That’s our thing between us. We like each other, and that’s what matters. Don’t worry.” Wen Chi reassured her with a smile.
Wen Chi had been bothered by his mother’s inquiries lately, so he decided to take Shu Pan to meet his parents. He had a feeling that his mother had some reservations, but he hoped that meeting Shu Pan in person would change her mind. Regardless, he had no intention of letting go of Shu Pan, unless she decided to leave him.
Shu Pan forced a smile, although she felt very nervous. She had the example of Song Can as a mother-in-law, and now she was afraid of meeting elders.
However, she knew that Wen Chi cared about her, and she didn’t want to disappoint him. It was something that had to happen sooner or later.
“I’m free this weekend. I’ll have Xiaomeng take care of Joy. What does your mother like? I’ll prepare a gift for her.”
“The best gift is having you there.”
Wen Chi was delighted that Shu Pan was taking this step for him.
Shu Pan couldn’t sleep all night because she was nervous about meeting Wen Chi’s parents.

Ye Xiaomeng was both surprised and happy for her friend. Meeting the parents indicated that the man was serious about the relationship and not just playing around.
“I’m so nervous and you’re joking around like this,” Shu Pan chided.
“Silly, every daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later. Don’t be so nervous. With Wen Chi by your side, you’ll be fine,” Ye Xiaomeng reassured her.
“Can you make it this Saturday? Can you help take care of Joy? It wouldn’t be convenient to bring her for the first time, ” Shu Pan asked with difficulty.
“I’m free, don’t worry, I’ll take care of Joy for you,” Ye Xiaomeng readily agreed.
“Xiaomeng, do you have any suggestions for a suitable gift for the first meeting?
“Health supplements. You can also get a brand-name scarf for his mother,” Ye Xiaomeng suggested.
“Okay, okay, I’ll go shopping at the mall during lunch break,” Shu Pan replied, feeling more confident about the situation..
