After a deeply upsetting encounter where Lu Lijun kissed Jiang YuYan against her will, she slapped him and fled into the rain. She fell and injured herself but continued to her car and drove away, overcome with grief for her deceased husband, Lu Qiang. Later, she returned to the Lu family residence, still distraught and physically cold. Recalling the traumatic kiss, she scrubbed her skin furiously in the shower. Exhausted, she clutched a wedding photo of herself and Lu Qiang and wept, missing him and questioning his broken promise to stay, before finally falling asleep.

Eleven years in the past...

Inside the ancestral residence of the Lu family...

As the morning light streamed in, the Lu family convened in the expansive living room of their old mansion to deliberate on an important upcoming family occasion. The living room itself was remarkably grand, featuring a substantial rectangular white leather sofa at its core, complemented by a intricately carved wooden coffee table. Overhead, a magnificent chandelier cast a regal ambiance, while the predominant white interior scheme was punctuated by walls adorned with strikingly expensive paintings. Each artwork was strategically illuminated by individual wall lamps, enhancing their visual appeal. Antique adornments occupied each corner, alongside glass-covered wooden shelves displaying an array of exquisite collectibles. Large, paneled windows allowed sunlight to flood the vast space, imbuing it with brightness.

The imminent event was none other than the 55th wedding anniversary of the elder couple, and their sons had resolved to orchestrate a magnificent celebration, a prospect that filled the entire family with anticipation.

Seated centrally on the sofa were the elder Lu Huan and his wife, Lu Shuang. To their right sat their eldest son, Lu Jinhai, alongside his wife, Lu Jiahui. On their left were the younger son, Lu Chen, and his wife, Lu Hui. Behind Lu Jinhai, his assistant, Xiao Dong, stood attentively. To Lu Chen's left, the household butler, Xu Dui, was present with two servants, all listening intently to the proceedings, recognizing the significance of the upcoming event and the substantial workload it entailed for their duties in managing the arrangements.

Lu Jinhai declared, "Father, Mother! What are your thoughts on our proposal for this grand celebration of your 55th marriage anniversary? Shall we proceed with it?" As he posed the question, a noticeable shift in the elder Lu's expression was observed by all, and they braced themselves for his typically sharp retort.

Lu Huan jovially retorted, "You impertinent fellow!! How dare you even pose such a question to us?? Of course, you must celebrate it. Do not forget the very origin of all your existences on this earth, which is none other than our marriage." As anticipated, everyone was rendered speechless. His wife, Lu Shuang, maintained a composed demeanor, well aware of her husband's penchant for asserting his strong presence by playfully mocking their sons and his remarkable ability to leave all speechless with his incisive and witty remarks.

Lu Jinhai mused, "..." (Father never fails to deliver. :) :) )

Lu Jiahui thought, "..."

Lu Chen pondered, "..." (What was the purpose of the question, dear brother?)

Lu Hui considered, "..."

The others remained silent, "...."

Elder Lu Huan, though advanced in years, possessed a remarkably lively disposition. Simultaneously, he was prone to mood swings. In good spirits, he could embody the innocence of a celestial infant; conversely, when displeased, that same infant could transform into a veritable devil. No one dared to openly defy him. Even his eldest son, Lu Jinhai, a prominent figure in the nation's business world, invariably deferred to his father's authority. The same dynamic applied to his younger son, Lu Chen.

Every member of the family held Elder Lu Huan in high regard and affection, primarily because he consistently prioritized his family above all else. He had never hindered his children from pursuing their aspirations and had always offered his unwavering support. His profound love for his wife, Lu Shuang, was evident even at their advanced age, with his affection for her palpable to all.

Lu Shuang was a lady of immense beauty and grace. While possessing a gentle heart towards everyone, she could also maintain a firm stance when necessary. She alone possessed the unique ability to transform the formidable Elder Lu Huan from a terrifying lion into an obedient canine...(woof woof!!)

The men of the Lu family had a tradition of cherishing and respecting their wives, never succumbing to infidelity. This legacy had been passed down through generations. It was as if the men of this lineage carried an additional chromosome beyond the standard X and Y, a distinct 'M' chromosome, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to "MONOGAMY"...

The atmosphere grew quiet. Lu Huan surveyed everyone and then spoke again, "Since we are discussing your origins, we (Lu Huan and Lu Shuang) wish to elevate our pride and take a further step as originators."

Confusion rippled through the assembled family members, who exchanged glances, seeking to decipher the meaning behind his words. Noticing their bewilderment, Elder Lu Huan's brow furrowed. "I mean to imply thaaat....!! It is now time for us to witness the arrival of our great-grandchildren." Upon hearing this revelation and grasping its implication, a collective sigh of relief swept through the gathering.

Lu Chen interjected, "But Father, there is little we can do about that. Your grandchildren are unlikely to heed our advice. Everyone seems adept at avoiding the topic of marriage, making the prospect of great-grandchildren a distant fantasy." Lu Jinhai offered a nod of agreement.

Lu Huan: "Morons! You can't even persuade your own children. Marriage isn't a prerequisite for having a baby!" Everyone was left speechless once more. He continued, "They simply need to find a woman and... Ouch!" Before he could finish, Lu Shuang pinched his arm fiercely, stopping her shameless husband. She stated, "Stop being brazen and don't try to make my grandchildren immoral just like you. Stop pestering them to fulfill your wishes."

Lu Jinhai: (' '),

Lu Chen: '.....', (Why did I even speak).

Others: _ _ _ _ (We should have brought earplugs).

Lu Huan was silenced, unwilling to cross his wife, and what she said held truth. After all, Lu Huan had gotten her pregnant before they were married, a fact she still harbored some anger about.

Everyone was aware of this history, and they observed Lu Huan, wondering how such a brazen individual transformed into a scared cat in front of his wife. Internally, they were delighted but maintained neutral expressions on their faces. Lu Huan's gaze swept across his two sons. Aware of their inner amusement, he frowned and fixed them with a killer stare, as if conversing through their eyes. "You rascals! Why were you in such a hurry to enter this world? You ruined my romantic life and took my wife away."

Lu Jinhai and Lu Chen: "Father is a liar! Your romantic life must have been quite 'rocking' for us to arrive so soon... hehe!"

Lu Huan: "Both of you will pay for this soon... hahaha!"

The brothers noticed a devilish smile spreading across their father's face, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Lu Jinhai: '__' (Where should I look?)

Lu Chen: '__'!! (Sob, sob!!)
