Chapter 136: Chapter 136: What Did You All Talk About?
"Of course, I support her. As long as it’s something Xiao Nian wants to do, I’ll support her all the way!"
This was truly what Lu Cheng felt. He wasn’t just saying it to make a good impression on her brothers.
Shen Xiangdong stared at Lu Cheng, trying to read his expression and see into his heart, to determine if he was truly sincere.
"But even if you can do that, what about your family? Can you guarantee they won’t have any objections? After all, that’s four years. You’re not young anymore. Can your family accept that you and Xiao Nian might not have children for four years?"
Shen Xiangdong pressed Lu Cheng. It was the kind of thing that even they might not find so easy to accept, let alone Lu Cheng’s family.
Lu Cheng was the family’s only son, and the Lu Family was well-off; he would have no trouble finding a wife. If the Lu Family held this against Shen Nian, her life with her in-laws would surely be difficult.
"I’m the one Xiao Nian married, and I’m the one who will spend the rest of her life with her! My parents are quite open-minded, and they’re both very fond of Xiao Nian. Besides, even if they did have objections, those objections would stop with me. They won’t affect Xiao Nian."
Shen Xiangdong’s intense gaze finally began to soften.
He had to admit that Lu Cheng was truly a good, responsible man. His parents’ judgment had indeed been sound.
"Good. I’ll remember what you said today. If I ever find out you aren’t treating Xiao Nian well, I don’t care how powerful you are, you’ll have to answer to me!"
"Me too! If you dare bully my sister, I’ll make you regret it!"
With each of the two brothers, Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangnan, having leveled a threat at Lu Cheng, the interrogation finally came to an end.
"Big Brother, Xiang Nan, rest assured. I will be good to Xiao Nian for the rest of my life. If I ever fail to keep my promise, you won’t have to do a thing—I’ll be the first one to not forgive myself!"
"Well said! Later, we brothers should have a real drink together."
"Alright."
"Me too, me too! I want to drink!"
Shen Xiangnan chimed in from behind his older brother.
"You? Are you even old enough to drink? Ask again in a few years!"
"..."
’He was only a few years younger than them, did they have to be so condescending! Hmph, just wait a couple of years until he was of age. He’d drink every last one of them under the table!’
However, when Shen Xiangnan was finally old enough to drink, he discovered that with his alcohol tolerance, drinking these two under the table... Heh, that would only happen when pigs fly!
When Lu Cheng and the Shen brothers returned, Shen Nian had already been chatting with Miao Cuifen for a while.
Seeing that Lu Cheng and her brothers had been gone for so long, Shen Nian knew that Lu Cheng must have just undergone an interrogation by them.
After all, in this family, she was the most doted-on. Everyone, without exception, wanted her to have a good life!
’In her past life, she hadn’t understood the depths of their love for her, but in this life, she would absolutely not let them down again!’
"Did my brother say something to you? If they said anything harsh, don’t take it to heart."
After Lu Cheng sat down beside her, Shen Nian leaned in and asked softly. Knowing how protective her older and younger brothers were, Shen Nian could easily imagine how they must have threatened and interrogated Lu Cheng.
"Not at all. We just chatted for a bit."
"Really? Then what did you talk about?"
’Shen Nian didn’t believe for a second that her brothers would let Lu Cheng off that easily. They might not have beaten him up, but a stern lecture was practically guaranteed.’
"We just talked a bit about your childhood. You know, climbing trees, swimming in the river, raiding birds’ nests, that sort of thing."
"!!!"
