Ye Chen and Su Wanyi visit his parents, bringing gifts and a cake made by Su Wanyi. Ye Chen's parents are delighted to see them, expressing concern that they are too busy to make the trip. Su Wanyi promises to visit weekly, and Ye Chen's parents shower her with affection, even scolding Ye Chen playfully.

Father Ye took a bite of the cake and suddenly said, "Little Chen, Wanyi is so capable, she can manage the living room and the kitchen. When are you going to make her my daughter-in-law?"

"Dad, look at what you’re saying. Isn’t Wanyi already my daughter-in-law?" Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"How is that the same? After all, you haven’t registered your marriage, have you? Your mom and I are worried sick, and we’d like to hold a grandchild sooner rather than later," Father Ye retorted.

Hearing this, Su Wanyi’s pretty face turned somewhat red. She hadn’t expected Ye Chen’s dad to bring up this topic.

"Old man, what kind of talk is that? Let the kids decide their own affairs. We shouldn’t worry blindly," Mrs. Ye said.

She noticed Su Wanyi feeling a bit embarrassed and quickly intervened.

Father Ye was a henpecked husband, most afraid of Mrs. Ye. Upon hearing her words, he changed his tone and said, "Wanyi, don’t misunderstand, Uncle doesn’t mean to rush you. Sooner or later, you’ll be a daughter-in-law of the Ye Family. Besides, we already see you as family."

Mrs. Ye was very satisfied with the way Father Ye spoke.

"Little Chen, Wanyi, you two sit for a while. Your uncle and I will go make you some food," Mrs. Ye said with a smile.

"Auntie, let me help you. Although I’m not good at cooking, I can be your assistant," Su Wanyi stood up and said.

"No need, you’ve been driving for such a long time, you must be tired. Just rest for a bit," Mrs. Ye smiled and refused.

"Mom, I’ll take these things into the kitchen for you," Ye Chen stood up, picked up the supplements on the table, and said.

"You two kids, why bring so many things when you’re here? We are family; there’s no need to be so formal. Besides, we can’t finish them all, and your father and I can’t eat them," Mrs. Ye said in a reproachful tone.

"Save them for later; they won’t spoil," Ye Chen said.

He knew that no matter how wealthy he was, his parents were still reluctant to spend his money.

In their old mindset, they thought young people had a lot of pressure, and earning money was very difficult.

Seeing the supplements in Ye Chen’s hand, the two elders realized they were already bought, so they had to accept them.

After putting the items in the kitchen, Ye Chen chatted with his mother for a bit and then turned to leave.

He came to Su Wanyi and said with a smile, "Wanyi, don’t take my dad’s words to heart; he didn’t mean anything by it."

"Ye Chen, you don’t need to console me. I know your uncle has good intentions for us. We’ve indeed been together for quite some time without making further progress," Su Wanyi said tactfully.

She was afraid that if she spoke too bluntly, Ye Chen would laugh at her.

"Wanyi, do you want to get a marriage certificate with me?" Ye Chen asked tentatively.

He couldn’t quite determine Su Wanyi’s thoughts. Even after being together for so long, he wasn’t sure of the place he held in her heart.

Ye Chen’s thought was reasonable, mainly because Su Wanyi was always focused on work, sometimes neglecting his feelings due to it.

"You stop being so full of yourself. I didn’t mean it that way," Su Wanyi said with a rosy blush.

Seeing the expression of the woman in front of him, Ye Chen finally understood her feelings.

"Alright, I understand," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Understand what?" Su Wanyi asked, looking at Ye Chen.

"I’m not telling you," Ye Chen replied childishly.

Since Ye Chen didn’t want to say, Su Wanyi didn’t want to press him.

The two of them watched TV, each lost in their own thoughts, but they were all good thoughts.

Ye Chen knew that even if Su Wanyi didn’t say it out loud, she wanted to marry him and get the marriage certificate.

After all, it’s not something a girl should bring up first, as that would be too embarrassing.

From this moment on, Ye Chen had made up his mind to make Su Wanyi truly his woman.

"Wanyi, what kind of proposal do you like?" Ye Chen glanced at the woman beside him and asked.

"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Su Wanyi asked excitedly.

"Nothing, just that a buddy of mine wants to propose to his girlfriend. He called me for advice, but you know, I’ve never proposed, so how could I know?" Ye Chen told a little lie.

Su Wanyi was initially excited when she heard Ye Chen ask, thinking he wanted to propose to her.

As long as Ye Chen proposed, she didn’t care about the formality.

But after hearing Ye Chen’s answer, her face showed a disappointed expression, realizing she was being a bit too wishful.

She wanted to marry Ye Chen, but being a woman, this is something he should do.

Su Wanyi felt that Ye Chen had become accustomed to their relationship. After waiting for so long without any developments, she gradually got used to it, relinquishing any expectations, especially since Ye Chen treated her so well.

It was precisely because of Ye Chen’s behavior that Su Wanyi comforted herself that a certificate and marriage were just formalities. As long as the two truly loved each other, that was more important than anything.

"Oh, I see." Su Wanyi was evidently a bit disappointed.

"You’re a woman; surely you’re more knowledgeable in this area," Ye Chen urged from the side.

"How would I know, as long as it’s sincere, I guess," Su Wanyi said softly.

Ye Chen knew Su Wanyi was definitely upset, but he couldn’t tell her the truth. He wanted to give her a big surprise.

Just then, Mrs. Ye and Father Ye came out of the kitchen with dishes.

Ye Chen wanted to say more to Su Wanyi, but she stood up and walked toward the kitchen instead.

Su Wanyi really didn’t want to discuss this with Ye Chen; it turned her good mood into a bit of a gloom.

Logically, they had been together for so long and genuinely loved each other, so why hadn’t Ye Chen proposed yet? This was something Su Wanyi couldn’t figure out.

She wasn’t one to pursue trouble herself. Since she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t dwell on it, especially when her company had so many things waiting for her to handle.

Actually, when they first got together, Ye Chen wanted to propose to Su Wanyi, but seeing her so busy every day, Ye Chen hesitated.

If they got married, they’d have to take on the responsibility of a family. Ye Chen, out of love for Su Wanyi, didn’t want her to have so many burdens and just wanted her to pursue what she loved.

But as time went on, Ye Chen also felt that this was good. Marriage is just a formality, and from Su Wanyi’s attitude, she seemed to feel the same.

As a result, the issue of marriage was set aside, but from Su Wanyi’s attitude today, it was clear she was not against it. Ye Chen realized he had been wrong in the past.
