When Ding Wei heard a strange man’s voice on the other end of the phone, she knew that her foolish son hadn’t avoided the other party at all, which only fueled her anger even more.

She was deeply disappointed in her son, who used to be obedient and sensible.

But despite her disappointment, he was still the child she had raised with great effort.

Ding Wei gritted her teeth and asked, “What have you done to my son?”

Huoyunchuan had only just reached his limit when it came to the word “divorce,” but now that he actually heard An Wuyang’s mother’s voice, he felt compelled to suppress his temper: “Since you’re so concerned about Wuyang, why not come over yourself.”

Then he gave an address, successfully putting Ding Wei on guard.

“What happened to Wuyang?”

She couldn’t help but wonder if her second son was being controlled by someone, perhaps for extortion.

“He’s fine now, but things are a bit complicated and we need you to come over,” Huoyunchuan said.

Ding Wei noticed that the man she was talking to, despite being polite and using honorifics, somehow exerted an invisible pressure on her.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Wei, with a grim face, discussed with her husband for a moment and decided to go see what was going on at the address given by the other party.

If their second son was indeed being controlled, they would call the police.

 

An Cheng advised his wife not to act impulsively, in case the other party harmed their son, causing more harm than good.

Ding Wei, angrily, muttered in the car, “How did I raise such a foolish son!”

On the hospital side, An Wuyang was feeling restless and a bit regretful for his slip of the tongue, realizing that he had messed things up.

He knew his mother would be very angry and extremely disappointed in him.

“Don’t be afraid.” Huo Yunchuan glanced at his phone and felt a bit regretful for acting impulsively, but he didn’t regret it.

After all, he was well aware of An Wuyang’s situation in the family.

Being able to be polite to the other couple, An Jia, without venting his anger, was already good enough.

“I’m not afraid, and it’s not anyone’s fault,” An Wuyang said, turning his head to look at his adorable son, “I don’t regret having Dun Dun at all.”

His voice was firm and full of seriousness.

Huo Yunchuan looked at him, feeling an impulse to hug this gentle and lovely young man.

“Of course, I don’t regret it.” When he first learned that An Wuyang was pregnant with Dun Dun, this thirty-year-old man had a terrible initial reaction.

Now, thinking back, he realized he had just been too nervous and acted like an idiot.

Later, Huo Xiaofu and his wife walked into the ward carrying food boxes, smiling warmly, “Is your wound still hurting today, Yang Yang?”

They visited the hospital every day, which moved An Wuyang deeply. He immediately called them Mom and Dad and answered, “Much better today, I can already hold Dun Dun to feed him.”

Seeing An Wuyang’s happy face, Huo Xiaofu and his wife were genuinely happy from the bottom of their hearts.

“Dun Dun, Grandpa and Grandma are here to see you again.” So one of them held the baby, while the other handed the food box to Huo Yunchuan, “Yunchuan, this is soup for Wuyang, heat it up.”

Huo Yunchuan took it and handled it skillfully, with smooth and practiced movements.

Soon, Huo Xiao noticed that An Wuyang’s expression was a bit off, seeming a bit nervous.

Following his daughter-in-law’s gaze toward the door, but there was no one there.

The young man, worried that his parents would arrive soon, felt like an ant on a hot pan. He didn’t want his parents to suddenly face the entire Huo family.

That would surely be a huge pressure.

Don’t ask him how he knew, because he had experienced it himself and had deep feelings about it.

Ding Wei and An Cheng found the floor and suddenly discovered that it was the obstetrics and gynecology department!

The development of the situation made them even more puzzled and filled with doubts.

The An couple stood in front of a separate ward, “Is this it?”

Looking through the window, they first saw a noble lady holding a child, dressed elegantly and gracefully.

The noble lady walked away from the bed holding the child, revealing the young man leaning against the bed, with fair skin and handsome features, smiling as he looked up at the noble lady holding the child.

These familiar features, Ding Wei recognized them even if they turned to ashes; they belonged to her second son, An Wuyang.

Looking into the spacious and comfortable ward, she also saw two men of different ages.

One was young and handsome, with a compelling presence, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, sitting at the bedside, feeding their second son…

The other was in his forties, dignified and elegant, with a warm smile, chatting and laughing with the noble lady holding the child.

It was a harmonious scene, and if it weren’t for her own son sitting on the hospital bed, Ding Wei would have been happy for this family.

An Cheng was equally surprised, “Weiwei, is that… Wuyang?”

Ding Wei didn’t speak, just nodded in acknowledgment.

She walked forward with a solemn expression and raised her hand to knock on the door.

Although the door of the ward wasn’t locked, Huo Xiao still got up politely and personally came over to open it.

As he got older, this gentleman from a wealthy family became very humble and polite in his dealings with others.

When Huo Xiao saw the two unfamiliar faces, he smiled, “Have you entered the wrong ward, sirs?”

Both Ding Wei and An Cheng were stunned, “No, we are…”

“Dad? Mom?” An Wuyang’s voice came from behind, “Grandpa and Grandma Dun Dun, they are my parents! Please let them in.”

Huo Xiao immediately said, “So they are Dun Dun’s grandparents, please come in.”

An Cheng & Ding Wei: “…,” in a state of confusion, what did it mean to be Dun Dun’s grandparents? They came to see their second son, not their eldest daughter!

The others in the room looked curiously towards the door, except for Huo Yunchuan. He had already met the parents of the little angel, and at this moment, he remained calm and composed, feeding the last spoonful of soup to the bowl, “Don’t look around, finish it before you talk.”

An Wuyang obediently opened his mouth and drank the soup, but he discreetly kept an eye on his parents’ grim expressions…

Terrifying, his mother’s expression clearly showed she was on the verge of anger.

“Wuyang, what’s going on?” Ding Wei stood near the hospital bed, completely confused about the situation.

“Mom…” An Wuyang cautiously called out.

Finally finishing feeding the little angel and placing the bowl down, CEO Huo immediately stood up and extended his hand to Ding Wei, “Hello, I’m Huo Yunchuan, An Wuyang’s partner and Dun Dun’s father.” He looked at the cradle in Ding Wei’s arms and patiently explained, “Dun Dun is my and Wuyang’s biological child.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei felt that the name “Huo Yunchuan” sounded strangely familiar.

As for An Cheng, when he walked into the room, he already recognized him as the CEO of the company, Huo Yunchuan, whom he had only met once before.

But how could this be possible?

He was completely stunned, standing there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, unable to control himself as he asked, “You are, you are…”

That name, An Cheng couldn’t bring himself to say it, or rather, he couldn’t believe it.

“Yes.” Huo Yunchuan nodded in response to An Cheng’s disbelieving gaze, “I am the boss of Huo Corporation. We met in the meeting room before.”

He could tell that An Cheng was very shocked, “I’m sorry, but when we met, Wuyang and I were already married and living together for some time. The reason we didn’t say anything was just out of fear of unexpected circumstances.”

Huo Yunchuan’s gaze shifted lightly to Ding Wei’s face as he made eye contact with her, “At that time, Wuyang was already several months pregnant, and the situation wasn’t very optimistic. Please forgive us.”

An Cheng and his wife stood like two statues, still in shock.

They seemed unable to digest it.

When Ding Wei suddenly learned that her eighteen-year-old son had dropped out of school and married a man.

She was truly enraged, the disappointment in her second son was beyond words, and she even considered the worst-case scenario, letting her second son suffer the consequences on his own.

And now, to find out that the reason her son dropped out of school to get married was because of pregnancy, how absurd, how ridiculous…

Her second son is a male.

But what was even more absurd, undoubtedly, was the marriage object of her son…

Who is Huo Yunchuan?

Huo Yunchuan is the young helmsman of the Huo family, born into a wealthy family with a fortune. In the upper circles of Beijing, this man is a highly sought-after eligible bachelor, and the number of high-profile ladies who want to marry him is countless.

People like An Cheng and his wife, mere employees, usually only hear about some of Huo Yunchuan’s deeds through other people’s gossip.

They had never imagined that one day they would appear in front of the big boss in such a capacity.

It’s not unreasonable for Ding Wei to have a small-minded mentality. When she heard this news, her first reaction was relief that she hadn’t done anything irreparable.

“Mom…” An Wuyang was scared. Now he was so flustered that he could barely speak clearly, “Mom… don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to drop out of school, it’s really because of Dun Dun. I’ll go back to school when Dun Dun grows up a little.”

Zhang Ruoyi, holding the child, felt sorry for him, “Mother-in-law, this can’t be blamed on Wuyang. Nothing is more important than the child’s safety and happiness, right?”

Huo Xiao, also defending his son, said, “Children may have done wrong, but in the final analysis, this is a good thing. So, please forgive these two children and relax.”

An Cheng and Ding Wei appeared composed on the surface, but inside, they were already in turmoil.

In other words, their son had become the ‘boss lady’ of the Huo family and even gave birth to the future heir?

Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief in secret, her eyes shifting to the cradle in the lady’s arms, her voice trembling slightly, “Wuyang, how could you…”

“This is a special case,” Huo Yunchuan helped explain.

Then the couple sat there dumbly for a few minutes, digesting the information.

Everyone could understand, their shock was understandable.

Ding Wei swallowed her saliva, “What is the situation now, Wuyang? How long has the child been born?”

She began to care about these things, as if accepting the reality.

An Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief and answered his mother, “He was born on the 15th night, the baby is six days old, not even a week.” Once he started talking, he blurted out, “The baby’s nickname is Dun Dun, and his full name is Huo An. He’s a boy.”

Ding Wei’s palms sweated, “You got your certificate last year at the beginning of the school year. When did you ask me for the household register?”

This was something An Wuyang was particularly guilty about, and he nodded lowly in response, “Yes.”

Although he now had something he cherished and a child, the fear of his mother was deeply ingrained in him.

Huo Yunchuan frowned, feeling a bit worried and annoyed.

He sat down at the bedside in front of everyone, and touched An Wuyang’s face, “Yangyang?”

An Wuyang whispered, “It’s okay, my parents are here, don’t touch me.”

“… ” Huo Yunchuan felt a bit rejected.

The Huo couple also frowned on the side, wondering if these parents were being too strict with their child, unable to see the warmth of the family.

“Mother-in-law, they did indeed get their certificate, and Dun Dun is a child born in wedlock,” Zhang Ruoyi spoke up, “We plan to have a full-month celebration for Dun Dun in a while, and then, when Wuyang’s body recovers a bit, we’ll have the wedding.”

Huo Xiao nodded, “Wuyang is the legitimate daughter-in-law of our Huo family.”

This was the beginning of supporting their daughter-in-law.

With the collective assurance of the Huo family, Ding Wei’s uncertain heart also settled.

“I didn’t mean to blame the children, it’s just that these things have surprised me too much,” Ding Wei rubbed her temples and said to the Huo family, “I’m very grateful for your concern for Wuyang, it’s his good fortune.”

Then she turned to her son who was standing there dumbfounded, “You’ve just given birth to a child, don’t worry about anything else for now, just focus on recovering.” Then she asked, “What are you eating during confinement? Is someone taking care of you?”

Zhang Ruoyi quickly said, “Yes, there’s a nanny taking care of them, so don’t worry about the food.” She smiled again, “Yunchuan has been accompanying them, taking good care of the two of them.”

Ding Wei said, “Then I’m relieved.” But she still said, “After all, I’m also Dun Dun’s grandmother. I’ll take a few days off to help out.”

An Wuyang’s reaction was particularly strong, immediately shaking his head and saying, “Mom, I have enough help here, you won’t be of much help here.”

He was speaking the truth, and he was also not used to accepting his parents’ care, feeling it was too much trouble.

Ding Wei’s face turned a bit embarrassed, imagining being a bit more forceful in arranging things as usual, only to find the Huo family looking at her.

“Oh, then I’ll go home and make some pig trotter soup for you, and bring it over for you to drink tonight.”

She endured it very hard, changing her usual domineering attitude as the head of the family, feeling especially uncomfortable.

An Wuyang didn’t refuse this at all. He nodded happily in agreement.

Mom didn’t scold anyone in anger, which was truly unexpected and made her very happy.

After the atmosphere had relaxed, Huo Xiao smiled and invited the in-laws to sit down, “Stop standing, there aren’t that many chairs here. It’s okay for you two to sit on the family bed.”

After a nod and smile, the couple sat down opposite their son.

“So both of you work at Yunchuan’s company? That’s really fate,” Zhang Ruoyi smiled and said, tightly hugging her well-behaved grandchild, showing no intention of letting the other party touch him.

“Yes,” the couple nodded, trying to maintain a calm and relaxed expression on their faces.

Although the other party came from a wealthy family, they were educated people who had worked hard with their own hands, and there was no concept of one being nobler than the other.

Huo Xiao continued, “In-law, Dun Dun’s full month celebration is in about twenty days. At that time, I’ll prepare some blank invitations for you two to fill out. I wonder how many you’ll need?”

An Cheng and Ding Wei looked pleasantly surprised.

“Um, probably about…”

Ding Wei interrupted her husband with a smile, “About fifty invitations should be enough. We have quite a few relatives at home who have watched Wuyang grow up. Since it’s Wuyang’s child’s full month celebration, we should at least inform them.”

An Cheng was speechless, wondering if they really had fifty relatives at home?

Huo Xiao nodded, “Alright, I’ll take note of that.”

Next, the two sides exchanged some trivial matters, but Huo Yunchuan was not interested.

It wasn’t until the couple started talking about some interesting stories from An Wuyang’s childhood that he focused on listening.

The couple noticed that even when they mentioned the funniest parts, the serious big boss remained serious, which made them feel particularly pressured.

They didn’t dare to assume their status and treated themselves as the parents-in-law.

Looking at their silly son, it seemed like he was completely unaware of the seriousness of the head of the Huo family, appearing as if he didn’t understand anything.

Ding Wei sighed, unable to control herself from thinking, what if it was her eldest daughter who married into a wealthy family…

What kind of scene would it be then?
