Self-destruction!

Xu Nian ultimately didn’t quite understand why Su Qingya didn’t need her to help play the boyfriend to fool her family, and instead chose to give up and stall.

Wouldn’t it be particularly troublesome when her parents nagged and asked this and that?

Su Qingya could understand some of what Xu Nian was worried about.

It was nothing more than her parents not accepting this relationship.

Whether they would be too negative after receiving this news.

But what could she do if her parents didn’t accept it?

Did she have to break up with Nian Nian just because they didn’t accept her?

Did they have to separate from Nian Nian against their will because they didn’t accept her?

Impossible.

The love between Su Qingya and Xu Nian was never something their parents could decide.

After all, she was more afraid of not being able to be with Xu Nian than she was of her parents not agreeing to their love.

The thought of this possibility terrified her to the point of madness.

Why not… just rush over, close her eyes and come out, saying that they had been a couple for three years, when they were just unrelated strangers.

There was no need to recognize ancestors or return to the clan. Just let Su Qingya get a marriage certificate with Xu Nian and marry into the Xu family as a daughter-in-law.

Thinking about it, this idea lingered in Su Qingya’s mind.

Instantly, she felt a mission weighing on her shoulders.

Come out first and see what happens.

Maybe her parents would accept it just like that?

What about Xu Nian?

Of course, she didn’t want to separate from Su Qingya now.

Even if there were obstacles from her parents.

But after all, she had to consider her parents’ feelings.

How could normal parents immediately accept this kind of relationship?

At least there had to be a gradual process.

Xu Nian wasn’t an irrational person.

“By the way, when did you find out that I was Mom and Dad’s biological daughter?” Su Qingya asked curiously.

“Not long ago. Dad can’t hide anything. I found out after a little investigation. But what shocked me at the time was that I didn’t expect that person to be you.”

This was a lie.

Xu Nian still didn’t want to reveal the simulator so soon.

“So, is that one of the reasons why you joked about breaking up with me back then?”

“Uh, not really. Why are you bringing this up again? Let’s just sweep this unpleasant thing into the dustbin of history.”

Xu Nian said hurriedly, she really didn’t want to bring this up.

She didn’t want Su Qingya to keep remembering this either.

Whenever it came up, she would feel very flustered, and always felt like she owed Su Qingya something, and her heart would beat very fast.

“Okay, okay, I understand. I won’t mention it again in the future. I just thought it was like a reason, like after you found out that I was your parents’ biological daughter, you began to struggle with negative emotions, started to reflect on the correctness of being in love with me, and finally couldn’t stand the condemnation in your heart and decided to break up, but you couldn’t bear to lose our relationship, so you proposed to get back together.”

“N-No way, it’s not that melodramatic.”

But she had to admit that what Su Qingya said was indeed a reason.

Su Qingya sighed a long sigh.

“But, actually, I didn’t expect that heaven would play such a joke on us.”

“So?”

“So, even so, I won’t let go.”

Su Qingya stared into Xu Nian’s eyes and said seriously.

Xu Nian was stunned, and finally relieved.

“Then, please take care of me in the future, Qingya.”

“Mm, Nian Nian, does this mean we’re officially living together now?”

“W-Why can you always lead the topic in such an ambiguous direction?”

“Shh.”

Su Qingya made a shushing gesture.

She leaned very close to Xu Nian.

They both fell silent. In the confined space, it was as if time had slowed down as well.

They looked at each other, staring into each other’s eyes. At this moment, there was only each other in their eyes.

“By the way, Nian Nian, those lilies in the flower bed, did you plant them all for me?”

“Y-You found out?”

“It’s hard not to notice, because those flowers are as beautiful as you, and there are traces of you everywhere, your scent.”

As they talked, Xu Nian found that Su Qingya seemed to be getting closer and closer to her, so close that they were almost telling each other lip to lip.

So, naturally, they lightly touched each other’s lips.

Not as aggressive as the previous three kisses.

Tenderness and romance occupied the main theme.

For a long, long time.

After discussing everything, the two finally returned to the stone table in the courtyard.

“Hey, why are their faces so red? What’s with this red face situation?”

Xu Qingshan poked his wife. He was very puzzled by this situation that was beyond the scope of his expectations.

He originally thought it would be either happiness or hostility.

Now it seemed that this question was indeed a bit beyond the syllabus.

“I don’t know, but it can’t be bad, right?”

Xu’s mother secretly responded, and then hurriedly straightened her posture.

Xu Nian calmed down. They had already discussed it just now. Nothing unexpected should happen during the upcoming lunch.

She just had to slowly tease the small fry Qingya.

Eat, eat.

Suddenly, Su Qingya slapped the table and stood up, startling everyone.

“Mom, Dad, I have a question I want to ask you.”

Su Qingya’s suddenly serious and earnest expression made the two of them nervous as well.

They gave Xu Nian a few glances, asking for clarification.

But Xu Nian didn’t know what Su Qingya was planning at all.

She shook her head, indicating that she didn’t understand.

“I just want to ask you, if your daughter, whether she’s biological or not, gets married in the future, would you prefer her to stay at home or marry out?”

“Why are you asking this?”

This was the question Xu Nian asked.

She couldn’t understand why Su Qingya would suddenly ask such a question.

This was also what Xu Qingshan and Xu’s mother were curious about.

Facing Xu Nian’s doubts, Su Qingya just gave her a “don’t worry, I got this” expression, signaling Xu Nian to relax.

“Th-This… as parents, of course we hope she can stay at home, but girls have to get married after all, so I can’t say for sure.” Xu’s mother tried to answer, her answer filled with caution.

Xu Qingshan didn’t refute, and handed over the right to speak to his wife.

“In other words, you actually prefer your daughter to stay at home?”

“That’s about it, what’s wrong?”

Xu’s mother blinked her eyes. She was still very confused.

Xu Nian inexplicably felt more and more uneasy.

That ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger.

“Then what if I said that your wish could be fulfilled all at once?”

“Fulfilled all at once?”

“Yes, both of your daughters can stay at home and take care of you in the future.”

“Is that so? That would naturally be a good thing, but how is that possible? Daughters have to get married after all.

Are they all going to be uxorilocal marriages [man moving into the wife’s family]? That might be hard to find.” Xu’s mother chuckled.

“Nothing is impossible. Let me be honest with you, actually, I am… mmmph!!”

Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Nian quickly went up and covered her mouth.

“Ah, Qingya is confused. She’s always like this.”

After casually dismissing her parents, Xu Nian quickly said to Su Qingya, “Didn’t we agree on this before?”

Su Qingya didn’t care at all. She raised her hand and pinched Xu Nian’s slender waist, giving it a hard twist.

She had made up her mind.

“Aww!”

The scene was chaotic for a while, but Su Qingya managed to break free from Xu Nian’s control.

Su Qingya slapped the table again: “Actually! I am Nian Nian’s boyfriend! The girlfriend I’m talking about! Is Nian Nian!”

Upon hearing Su Qingya’s words, Xu’s parents leaned back slightly, their mouths slightly open, the chopsticks in their hands falling to the ground, their faces full of disbelief.

Xu Nian’s face was already incredibly red after hearing Su Qingya’s words.

She couldn’t stop her anymore!

She tugged at Su Qingya’s sleeve, and said with shame and anger, “What are you doing?”

Hachijah! [TN: a character who is always getting into trouble.]

This guy!

Why are you being so brave at this time!

“What? What did you say? I’m a little deaf, I didn’t hear you clearly.”

Xu Qingshan said at that moment.

Haha, he didn’t expect his own daughter to have such a talent for humor.

Something like this, she must be joking, right?

“I said, I am Nian Nian’s boyfriend! My girlfriend is Nian Nian!”

No matter how many times Su Qingya had to say it, she was willing to!

“Gah!”

Upon hearing this, Xu’s mother’s body twitched, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted just like that!
