Wu Hongjun couldn't help but express his surprise, "Qin family's boy, how can you have so little ambition for your career!"
Qian Xiaofen gently patted him and whispered, "It's fine. One focuses on career, the other focuses on Xiaoyue. They complement each other perfectly."
Chen Liuyue realized her grandmother was really quite open-minded.
After that question was settled, Wu Hongjun brought up another topic.
"There's another very important issue. I plan to hand the Wu family over to Xiaoyue, and she has agreed that any heir she bears will carry the Wu surname."
"If you marry Xiaoyue and you only have one child, and that child can only have the Wu surname, would you be willing?"
As for the Chen surname from his son-in-law, in Wu Hongjun's view, it was dispensable.
If he weren't afraid of his daughter going crazy, he had even considered having Xiaoyue change her surname to 'Wu' as well.
Wei Miao and Qin Xuanye were both the only sons in their families.
As soon as this question was posed, Qin Xuanye very enthusiastically raised his hand again.
Qian Xiaofen pointed at him, "Go on, you continue!"
Qin Xuanye: "If I can stay by Liuyue's side, forget about our child taking the Wu surname, I could take the Wu surname too."
Wu Hongjun's gaze shifted from Wei Miao to Qin Xuanye.
He suddenly felt this kid seemed a bit more pleasing to the eye.
As for whether that old thing from the Qin family would be angry when he found out, haha, that wasn't Wu Hongjun's concern.
Who told his grandson to insist on attaching himself to them!
Qian Xiaofen nodded approvingly, then looked at Wei Miao and asked,
"What about you?"
The corners of Wei Miao's lips lifted slightly, his gaze soft as he looked at Chen Liuyue.
He asked gently, "Yueyue, do you like children?"
Chen Liuyue pursed her lips, "Not particularly."
Wei Miao smiled, "Giving birth is very painful. If you don't like children, we don't have to have any. As long as I can stay by your side, nothing else matters."
He then raised his head to look at Wu Hongjun, speaking seriously,
"Grandfather, wanting an heir with the Wu surname is your wish, not Yueyue's."
"I will prioritize respecting her wishes."
"As for inheriting the company, I believe we should look at individual capability, not just the ability to produce an heir."
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table fell silent.
Wu Hongjun reflected for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, you're right!"
"In the past, I always forced my own wishes on Lihua, thinking she was outstanding and smart, so she should stay home and take in a husband."
"And I thought Peihua was strong-willed, so she should find a husband from a slightly lower social standing so she could control him."
"But things didn't go as planned..."
Mentioning their younger daughter again, Qian Xiaofen patted the old man's hand and said,
"Enough! Xiaoyue is excellent. She's not Lihua. I believe she will do even better than Lihua."
"With the company in her hands, you and I can rest easy."
"As for having children, whether to have them, when to have them, or even not having them at all, that's Xiaoyue's own choice."
After the meal was finished,
Chen Liuyue, who had been rather quiet throughout the dinner, suddenly spoke up,
"Grandfather, Grandmother, what do you think of these two?"
Both Wei Miao and Qin Xuanye couldn't help but perk up their ears to listen carefully.
Wu Hongjun looked at Wei Miao with satisfaction and nodded, "Not bad."
Qian Xiaofen's gaze fell on Qin Xuanye.
She said meaningfully, "Who says only men can have a supportive spouse? We women can have one too."
Chen Liuyue also smiled and said,
"Right, Grandfather, Grandmother."
"'Have two, one to manage the home, one to manage outside.' I've always thought that saying made sense."
"So, I have two boyfriends. Do you agree?"
Wei Miao was already somewhat prepared.
Hearing Yueyue say this, he only raised an eyebrow slightly to show his displeasure.
Qin Xuanye, who hadn't expected to hear this, was immediately overjoyed.
Was Liuyue willing to give him a chance?!
Qian Xiaofen smiled, her eyes crinkling,
"Good, good, good! As long as our Xiaoyue is happy, even if it were six or seven, Grandma would agree."
Wei Miao and Qin Xuanye simultaneously waved their hands, expressions wary.
Grandma, please don't!
If you say that, Liuyue/Yueyue will really take it seriously!
Wu Hongjun also nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Wei is good. As for Xiao Qin..." He paused.
Qin Xuanye's nervous heart felt like it was about to leap out.
"Xiao Qin, when are you going to change your surname?" Wu Hongjun asked cheerfully.
Qin Xuanye glanced at his watch and said, "Grandfather, starting tomorrow, I'll be called Wu Xuanye."
Chen Liuyue burst out laughing.
"Grandfather was teasing you. You actually took it seriously."
After leaving the Wu residence,
Wei Miao got into the driver's seat, and Chen Liuyue sat in the passenger seat.
Qin Xuanye very consciously climbed into the back seat.
The air inside the car felt close.
Three people were a bit crowded.
But it was just right.
The atmosphere wasn't as lighthearted and joking as at the dinner table. Chen Liuyue said solemnly,
"Amiao, are you angry?"
Wei Miao glanced at the annoying Qin Xuanye in the back seat and admitted, "Yes."
Chen Liuyue said slowly, "So, do you want to back out?"
Wei Miao had originally just wanted to act a little difficult.
Seeing this, he immediately became meek, took the initiative to hold her hand, and said with a hint of a whine in his tone,
"No, I just want Yueyue to treat me the best."
Chen Liuyue took the opportunity to stroke his head, her voice smiling,
"Of course I'll treat you the best."
"Because in the future, you'll be my fiancé, my husband, and possibly the father of our children."
The corners of Wei Miao's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
The sourness and jealousy he felt earlier vanished completely. As long as Yueyue comforted him a little, he could be fully revived.
Qin Xuanye in the back seat watched their intimate scene.
His eyes were red, and he hung his head.
Chen Liuyue called to him, "Axuan, are you planting mushrooms back there?"
Qin Xuanye lifted his head, his voice listless, "No."
Chen Liuyue: "Then, when you said you wanted to be my 'other man,' were you serious?"
Qin Xuanye said excitedly, "I was!"
Chen Liuyue's tone was flat, as if she were commenting on the nice weather.
"Alright, then let's give it a try."
Qin Xuanye wore an expression of disbelief: "..."
A second later, he excitedly thumped the back of the driver's seat.
Wei Miao, sitting in the driver's seat, shot him a glare.
"Really?" Qin Xuanye confirmed again.
Wei Miao snorted coldly, "Fake."
The corners of Qin Xuanye's eyes and brows were filled with joy as he muttered to himself,
"It's true! It's true!"
Now that this matter was settled, Chen Liuyue began to define their roles.
"Amiao is the primary partner, so when I'm with Amiao, you cannot call us."
Qin Xuanye nodded.
"When Amiao is busy with something, then I'll come find you."
Qin Xuanye nodded.
Chen Liuyue looked at Wei Miao, "Is there anything else to add?"
Wei Miao's narrow phoenix eyes didn't spare a single extra glance for Qin Xuanye.
He just stared straight at Chen Liuyue.
"And Yueyue, promise me that having the two of us is enough, okay?"
