The Lin family was already happy enough but that night, something even more unexpected happened.

Wan Jia called Lin Lihua who was coincidentally at her parents' house.

"Sis, is mother there?"

"Yes, and so is Dad."

"Then, can you put the phone on speaker?"

Lin Lihua was extremely delighted by this sudden progress and put the phone on speaker. .

Wan Jia just said four words. "Goodnight mom, goodnight dad." then she hung up.

Lin Lihua could practically picture how Wan Jia had blushed deeply and smiled childishly after saying those four words.

Lin Zhou and Xia Rou hugged each other emotionally.

"Was that our dear baby girl?..." Lin Zhou asked. He was smiling from ear to ear.

"Hubby, it's her. Our Little Wan. I can't believe it either. If this is a dream, can you let me sleep forever?"

"I'll accompany you in this dream forever, my dear wife." He was even about to kiss her forehead.

Lin Lihua just had to interrupt them. "Ew, Dad, Mom! Can't you mind your environment before you display your affection? The nation's innocent babies are going to be negatively influenced by you two."

Xia Rou was very embarassed. "You child. Don't you know how to walk out?"

Lin Zhou looked at her teasingly. "You are 'the nation's innocent babies'?"

Lin Lihua twirled before them. "Uh huh. Can't you see everything about me that screams 'innocent!'? I'm a pure white rose, okay?"

Xia Rou glared at her. "Pure white rose at thirty? More like pure thorn. When are you planning to get married? All your agemates have kids. Don't you want to give us some grandchildren to play with?"

"My wife has a point." Lin Zhou seconded.

Lin Lihua acted wronged. "You only know to nag me. Don't you already have a granddaughter? She's so beautiful and takes after Mom. What else do you want?"

"That's your younger sister's child. Aren't you embarassed that your sister's child is already so old before you even get married?" Xia Rou scolded.

Lin Zhou turned serious. "I have a good friend who is also in my inner circle. His eldest s..."

Lin Lihua was already on the stairs before he finished saying 'son'. "Dad, did you say something? I didn't hear you!"

"That child..."

That night, Lin Lihua was not the only one being nagged about marriage.

In the old Lu residence, Lu Shaoting was suffering the same fate.

"Shaoting, I have a few photos here. These are all well brought up girls from impressive backgrounds. You grew up with some of them. Take a look and see if any of them impresses you, okay? I'll arrange a blind date and let you get to know each other." Although he said that he had a few photos, he had a whole file of them.

"Father, can we not talk about this?"

Lu Tongyan glared at him. "You punk. I'm only worried about you. How are you going to spend the rest of your life if you don't want to get a wife? Will you be lonely forever? You know that I can't accompany you all your life."

Lu Shaoting still protested. "I don't want those 'well brought up daughters of influential families'. I have met hundreds of them and none of them impressed me."

"Then do you want those from simpler backgrounds? I will help you look for them. As long as they have been brought up properly and are well-mannered, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I already met one and I like her. " Lu Shaoting said.

Lu Tongyan was elated. "You met one? Where is she? Which family is she from? Why didn't you bring her to meet me? You punk, you should have said it before."

Lu Shaoting answered robotically. "Her name is Su Ling, the only daughter of the Su family. I'm still chasing her."

Lu Tongyan's expression changed. "Lu Shaoting, are you insane? There are so many girls in the country. Why would you like a friend of the enemy? Previously you were just curious, now you already like her?"

"This is exactly why I didn't tell you. I knew you would oppose us."

"Of course I will oppose you. Find a better girl to marry because if you don't, I'll help you find one." Lu Tongyan declared.

"Father, I like Su Ling and she is the only girl I will ever be with." he insisted.

Lu Tongyan was not about to accept that Su girl into his family. He opened his file of girls' photos and shoved one before him. "This is the second miss of the Yan family. She just came back from Country B and is a combination of beauty and intelligence. She is also very filial. You are going on a blind date with her tomorrow.

"What? No! I'm not going on any blind date." Lu Shaoting refused.

"Yes you are." Lu Tongyan said and took out his phone.

Lu Shaoting knew what he was thinking. "Are you going to ask my brother to force me? I'm telling you, I will not go even if you call him."

Whenever Lu Shaoting was stubborn, a single glare from Lu Aotian was all it took to tame him. Lu Tongyan was ashamed of having to rely on his older son to tame the younger one sometimes.

Lu Aotian accepted the video call request.

Lu Shaoting grabbed the opportunity to seek pity from his brother. "Bro, I'm being treated unjustly. Didn't you see that Ling is a nice girl? Father wants to force me to a blind date. Wuuu...I've been bullied."
