Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Considering the temperament of both the Shen and Lu families, unless Shen Xi gave birth to a third child, it was impossible for the child to bear his surname. He could not bring himself to allow Shen Xi to endure the challenges of giving birth to three children.
Although this matter was still far off, Guan Lei had to give it some thought, so as not to put Shen Xi in a difficult position later on.
The matter was not completely resolved, but Guan Lei followed Chen Yu’s example and visited both the Shen and Lu families every day, trying to be as courteous as possible.
Guan Yi naturally heard some rumors and furiously summoned Guan Lei back to the Guan family.
“Do you know what you’re doing right now?” Guan Yi asked, his eyes burning with anger.
“Yes, I do. I’m pursuing Shen Xi. What’s wrong with that?” Guan Lei replied nonchalantly.
Since he already had a falling out with his grandfather, Guan Lei decided to be more straightforward and open about his intentions.
“Do you know that rumors are spreading that you’re going to marry into the Shen family? Where does this leave the dignity of the Guan family?” Guan Yi slammed the table, his anger evident.
“So what? Shen Xi can marry someone, why can’t I marry into her family? Our backgrounds are similar. If she can compromise and come to our family, why can’t I go to hers? What’s the logic in that?” Guan Lei retorted.
“Traditionally, it’s men who take wives into their families, and that’s how it’s always been,” Guan Yi gritted his teeth, trying to reason with Guan Lei, who seemed impossible to persuade.
“Times are changing, Grandfather. Your thinking should evolve with it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. It’s always the same topic, and I don’t want to discuss it anymore,” Guan Lei said as he got up.
Seeing that Guan Yi was left speechless with anger, Guan Lei nodded to him and said, “I’m going to see my parents.”
When Guan Lei left, Mr. and Mrs. Guan were already waiting for him in his study.
Seeing Guan Lei enter, Guan Yan said with mixed emotions, “I checked the rumor about you marrying into the Shen family, and it turns out you spread it yourself. Why did you do that?”
Su Han, standing nearby, looked at Guan Lei disapprovingly and asked, “Son, you don’t actually plan to marry into her family, do you?”
Guan Lei did not want to deceive his parents and said honestly, “l spread the rumor that I was going to marry into the Shen family, but I don’t actually intend to do it because Xi doesn’t want it. It’s just a way to remove the thorn. I want Grandfather to approve of me being with Shen Xi and stop his scheming.”
Su Han felt a pang in her heart that her son had gone to such lengths for Shen Xi, but at least Shen Xi was not as unreasonable as to let Guan Lei marry into her family.
She had worked hard to build a closer relationship with her son, and she could not bear to see him sent to another family, living under someone else’s roof.
Guan Lei continued, changing the topic nith a mischievous smile, “Mom, how about you and Dad give me a little brother or sister?”
Exasperated, Guan Yan picked up a nearby pen and poked Guan Lei several times, saying, “What are you saying? Do you think it’s up to you to arrange for your parents?”
“Alright, I won’t speak recklessly. My plan is this: in the future, if Xi and I are together, we’ll move out and live independently. It’ll be fair and just,” Guan Lei explained.
“But your grandfather will never agree to you moving out,” Su Han pointed out.
As the heir to the Guan family, Guan Lei was required to live in the Guan family’s ancestral home with his wife. His wife had to stay there, being a dutiful vife and managing household affairs.
Su Han had experienced this herself, abandoning the career she took pride in to fulfill the duties of an aristocratic wife, leading a life with a foreseeable future.
When she was initially compelled to give up her career and dreams, it took her a long while to persuade herself, and only later did she gradually grow accustomed to it.
Fortunately, with a supportive husband by her side, she managed to lead a contented life over the years.
Now, her son was determined to secure a world of freedom for his beloved. She did not know what to say.
Guan Yan, on the other hand, understood why Guan Lei had made it public about marrying into the Shen family.
It was because his father would never agree to it, so once Guan Lei changed his mind and decided not to marry in but just move out, his father would likely be relieved, and the face of the Guan family would be saved.
Guan Lei, in the end, was bolder and more willing to take risks than him.
Guan Yan embraced his wife’s shoulders and said to Guan Lei, “You can do whatever you want.”
Su Han added, “Your dad is right. Whatever you want to do, go ahead. As long as you’re happy, Mom will support you..”
