Chapter 734: Chapter 262: Xiaolinzi, My Parents Know About Us!
After sending Nanaz onto the plane, there was nothing much left to do in Lin’an, so they returned to Jianglan that same day.
This winter break, Su Zelin noticed that his dad and mom went on drives together quite often.
Most importantly, it was almost always Mom who suggested it. Perhaps the Empress Dowager was feeling youthful again, wanting to relive some long-lost romance.
Moreover, Zhao Lixia even bought several boxes of condoms and put them in the drawer.
Various fruit flavors, ultra-thin invisible ones, textured types...
Su Jianjun couldn’t help but wonder upon seeing them.
"Lixia, what are you doing with these..."
A decade ago, he might have indulged in some playful romance with the tigress, but now they were an old married couple, doing this felt a bit shameless.
Not to mention, what’s the point of unwrapping all the packaging immediately? Do you think your husband is still the seven-times-a-night guy from back then?
Now I’m more like a once in seven nights guy, alright!
"You don’t get it, this is for our son’s convenience!"
Granny Su said mysteriously.
"For Zelin’s convenience?"
Old Su was bewildered.
What does this have to do with our son?
"Jianjun, let me tell you, the second day after our son came home, we went out for a drive, and when we got back, I discovered something..."
Zhao Lixia leaned over to her husband’s ear and explained something, and only then did Su Jianjun realize.
Old Su slapped his thigh: "That rascal! He was openly building a bridge while secretly advancing his own cause!"
After the joy, he felt worried: "But this may not necessarily be good news."
"How can it not be good news? It’s fantastic news!"
Zhao Lixia was displeased, her tigress eyes widened: "Don’t you want Shiqing to be our family’s daughter-in-law?"
"I do! Of course, I do! But don’t forget, our son can be quite a handful; he’s got lots of tricks up his sleeve, he might end up hurting Shiqing!"
Old Su was still quite rational.
However, the Empress Dowager wasn’t as rational, she scoffed: "I don’t care about that, Shiqing must be our daughter-in-law. Those outside can only be concubines, if they wish to follow our son, fine, if not, that’s fine too!"
Old Su thought, back in the day I thought the same, and you called me a heartless playboy and a traitor, then sabotaged the condoms, which led to having Zelin, forcing me to settle down.
Now, when it comes to our son, you’re so open-minded!
This is way too much of a double standard!
They say a tigress protects her cubs, and it’s absolutely true.
Zhao Lixia glanced at the doorway and whispered: "If you’re really worried, why don’t we poke a few holes in these things, as long as Shiqing has a baby, everything will be easy to handle!"
Old Su: "..."
The attitude of the two elders towards Su Zelin’s antics was different from the previous life.
In the past, they found out suddenly that their son had other women outside and were extremely furious, not to mention Qin Shiqing was heartbroken then and didn’t want to forgive Su Zelin, they could only take a stand.
Old Su’s reaction was particularly intense, he wouldn’t let his son step foot in their house.
Zhao Lixia wasn’t so heartless, but seeing her husband had made up his mind, she followed suit, but she kept in touch with Su Zelin secretly and tried hard to reconcile him and Qin Shiqing.
In this life, since Su Zelin preemptively warned the elders, the situation was a bit different.
Zhao Lixia was thinking about how to help her son win over the girl next door.
Though a tad selfish, many mothers are just like that.
No matter the mistakes their children make, they always clean up the mess for them.
Su Zelin had no clue about the elders’ little schemes.
While bewildered by why his parents suddenly became so playful, he also unabashedly stole the tools for his mischief; anyway, there were so many, they probably wouldn’t notice if one went missing here or there.
All in all, this winter break was quite pleasant.
As soon as his parents went out, the mischievous one immediately invited Qin Shiqing over.
At first, the girl was a bit shy, but gradually she got used to it, even when the Su family’s two elders came back, she tidied up the aftermath calmly and didn’t blush when she saw Zhao Lixia and Su Jianjun. Her acting skills were improving rapidly.
At night, at the Su house.
Su Zelin was in his room watching a movie.
He had downloaded "American Pie," a classic teen comedy from Europe and America, though a bit risqué, with many sequels and similar to Korea’s "Sex is Zero," which were quite the enlightenment films for many college students.
Watching with great interest, outside came a conversation.
"Uncle, Aunt, have you eaten?"
"We have, oh, Shiqing’s here. Are you looking for Zelin? He’s in his room."
"Yes, I have something to discuss with him."
"..."
Then Qin Shiqing walked in and sat on the chair beside him.
The mischievous one’s hand immediately started misbehaving.
"Uncle and Aunt are outside!"
Qin Shiqing pouted and pinched him.
Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia were in the living room watching drama, and the door to the room was open.
Though the girl was bolder than before, she wasn’t daring enough to be entirely reckless.
"Don’t worry, they won’t come in before finishing the drama."
Su Zelin grinned.
"Stop fooling around, I’m serious. Tomorrow, I’m going with my parents to Grandma’s; do you want to come?"
Qin Shiqing asked.
"Sure, let’s go together."
Su Zelin nodded without hesitation.
He also planned to visit the elderly folks before the end of the year.
He wondered if his warning to the harsh aunt Peng Xiue had improved her behavior towards the older family members.
Meanwhile, at the Qin house.
Liu Sufen was also watching a drama.
However, she seemed somewhat distracted.
Suddenly she spoke: "Daqing, have you noticed that this break Shiqing and Zelin seem a bit different from before?"
