I originally thought that Beichuan Lin would need some time to decide whether to stay or go, but it only took Beichuan Lin five or six minutes to give an answer.

It seemed that Beichuan Lin had this plan in mind for a long time, but it had been on hold because of Beichuan Si and Beichuan Huili, with no time to realize it.

What came next was exceptionally simple.

Beichuan Lin spent a quiet and stable night at home.

She had already made her departure plan, with the plane tickets booked early, just waiting for the day after tomorrow to leave Tokyo.

This was without a doubt a safe and stable plan to leave.

But—

"...I forgot that you're never a steady person... Mr. Temple."

Beichuan Lin put down her teacup, her mouth twitched, and she looked at Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai in front of her.

Shen Gu Mirai gave an embarrassed 'hehehe' laugh, while Beichuan Si, without any fluctuation in his voice, said:

"This has nothing to do with being steady or not, I just think it's about time you met Mirai's parents on this visit."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but tug on Beichuan Si's sleeve and coughed twice, saying, "Mr. Temple, don't talk like that... meeting the parents is actually..."

"You don't want to marry me?" Beichuan Si interrupted her before she could finish, with a counter-question.

"Uhh..." Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth.

Then after struggling for a while, her fair, blushing cheeks finally vocalized, "I do want to, but..."

"But what? You don't like me?" Beichuan Si added another question.

"...Of course I..." Shen Gu Mirai originally wanted to assertively reply 'Of course I like you!', but considering Beichuan Lin was beside her, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.

Shen Gu Mirai's quirky and mischievous nature, she dared not show in front of Beichuan Lin.

Seeing her unable to utter a word for quite some time, Beichuan Si looked past her and turned to Beichuan Lin: "What do you think? If it's okay with you, we could go meet Mirai's parents right now."

Beichuan Lin exhaled, shrugged speechlessly.

With her own son saying so, she felt the need to express her stance.

Besides, she was quite curious about Shen Gu Mirai's parents.

What kind of couple could have raised such an outstanding daughter?

Beichuan Lin took another sip of tea and discreetly glanced at Shen Gu Mirai.

Beautiful and cute, with a kind heart and always willing to help others and, key point, especially clever.

But—

A sense of smug pride arose in Beichuan Lin's heart.

No matter how beautiful and cute other girls are, in the end, isn't she going to be my daughter-in-law?

Beichuan Si was really capable, in just a few months he had snagged a wife and even got her to sign the marriage registration, not to mention he managed everything with the in-laws...

Wait a minute?!

Beichuan Lin suddenly remembered something, her heart skipped a beat, and her expression blinked in surprise.

Beichuan Si had already signed the marriage registration with Shen Gu Mirai, and the other party's parents had already acquiesced to their relationship...

So what did she need to do?

According to the usual process of engagement, parental support is indispensable, at the very least to confirm the dowry and with visits to the in-laws.

These were tasks enough to keep Beichuan Lin busy.

But—

Beichuan Si had taken care of all those matters by himself.

Beichuan Lin didn't have to expend the slightest effort.

"So what can I actually do? Just go meet the other parents? Just like that? To show I'm still alive?" Beichuan Lin was baffled, muttering to herself.

She felt like just a tool in Beichuan Si's eyes, and going to meet Shen Gu Mirai's parents now was simply a formality of 'parents meeting' after all.

However...

Beichuan Lin glanced again at Shen Gu Mirai's nervous little action, tugging at Beichuan Si's sleeve.

She showed a smile, "Alright, I'll go with you right now to meet Mirai's parents."

Forget it, even if she's just a tool, this little girl Mirai has good qualifications, she really has no reason to disagree.

On the other side, Shen Gu Mirai clenched her small fist slightly!

Success! The tactic of 'pretending to be weak by tugging at Beichuan... Mom's sympathetic heart' had worked!

She hummed a tune to herself, feeling quite pleased, while her brows lifted, looking at Beichuan Si.

Shen Gu Mirai was very confident about her acting this time, even Beichuan Si wouldn't be able to see through it!

But as Shen Gu Mirai turned to look at Beichuan Si, she found that he had been quietly watching her all along.

Those sparkling black eyes focused intently on her.

Mirai's face froze in an instant.

Just moments ago, she was smug about her cleverness, but now she dared not face Beichuan Si.

Fortunately, Beichuan Si only looked at Shen Gu Mirai for a while, then turned his gaze away and said to Beichuan Lin, "Since that's the case, I'll notify Mirai's parents first, Mom you should get ready too."

Alright.

Since they had decided, it was time to prepare and head to the Shen Gu family.

But as for Beichuan Lin getting ready... there wasn't much for her to prepare.

She simply changed into a more serious-looking outfit, then followed Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai to the Shen Gu family's home.

During the journey, Beichuan Lin and Shen Gu Mirai talked about various topics, mostly centered around Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Lin brought up some of Beichuan Si's past, and Shen Gu Mirai cooperated brilliantly, chiming in on the side, the two sharing a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law vibe.
