Juliana saw Shi Man sit down. "How did meeting your future mother-in-law go? Smoothly, I hope." Shi Man hummed. "It went very smoothly. I hadn't expected Uncle and Auntie to be so incredibly nice." Shi Man had been preparing herself on how to behave, but it turned out Feng Xuanxiang's parents were much easier to get along with than he was.

Juliana made an "Oh" sound upon hearing Shi Man's report, asked for a few details, and then didn't press further. With Feng Xuanxiang present, Shi Man wouldn't say what she wanted to say anyway. Han Tao and Daizi arrived. Upon seeing Shi Man, Dai Lijun started circling her several times, making her so embarrassed that she stomped her foot and cried out petulantly, "Brother, what's your meaning?" Trying to bully her, were they? It was just going home to meet her future in-laws; did he need to tease her like this?

"When do you plan on going to meet your future in-laws?" Hmph, we're going to meet future in-laws; this blockhead is also going to meet his future in-laws. We'll see how he passes the test then. Dai Lijun had genuinely intended to tease Shi Man a bit, but he hadn't expected her to suddenly bring that up. He chuckled awkwardly. Honestly, he was a bit worried about meeting Weiwei’s parents—worried about this, worried about that.

As for Han Tao, that guy had it so much easier; not only did he marry into wealth, but more importantly, he had no parents to even consider facing. "I'm worried too. Unfortunately, I can't ask for advice. That guy Han Tao doesn't need to meet any in-laws at all; he skips the hardest test." Shi Man wholeheartedly agreed with Dai Lijun's complaint. She kept nodding at the side.

"Exactly! Those two have been childhood sweethearts; they don't have to face any of this. But I've completed my mission. Brother, you need to work hard!" Shi Man patted Dai Lijun’s shoulder at the end. Truthfully, visiting elders during the Spring Festival was the most bothersome thing.

Many relatives would crowd around, especially since she gathered from Lu Qiaowei's words that her family also had numerous relatives. Dai Lijun might end up dizzy just trying to identify everyone. Han Tao hadn't expected the crossfire to end up turning on him. He pointed at Feng Xuanxiang, who was sitting quietly beside them. "Daizi, why aren't you asking your significant other?

Isn't Feng Xuanxiang the best person to ask?" After all, when that guy went to visit his future in-laws, he endured numerous trials. "Your situation and Feng Xuanxiang's are quite similar. Both of you are going abroad. Don't you agree?" What an idiot. He clearly had such an excellent person to consult right there but couldn't think of asking, instead grabbing onto me.

Does this guy have a muddled brain? Has he been staring at the computer screen for too long? Dai Lijun suddenly thought, right! Why was he complaining here? No amount of grumbling would help.

He immediately moved next to Feng Xuanxiang and asked him how he managed the visit, and how he communicated with his future father-in-law. Dai Lijun asked with extreme sincerity, but Feng Xuanxiang's face became visibly pale at that moment. Although he had managed to placate his in-laws, the memory of visiting Shi Man's parents before the New Year still made his heart race and his legs tremble. "I moved them with sincerity." Move them with sincerity? Dai Lijun was completely bewildered.

Even if he hadn't made the visit, he knew sincerity was required. Why would future in-laws marry off their precious daughter to someone who clearly lacked sincerity? "I know that. Anything else?" Dai Lijun wondered if there were a ton of other crucial points. He turned to Shi Man.

"Manman, can I borrow a pen? I need to write down all the key points." That way, he could conquer his future father-in-law in one fell swoop. Shi Man had initially been watching to see how her man would explain his experience to Dai Lijun, even looking forward to hearing how he glossed over things. She hadn't expected this guy to be completely unable to gloss over anything, while the truth-seeking Dai Lijun was ready to take notes. Heaven knew the scene of Feng Xuanxiang meeting her parents—Shi Man felt it was impossible to recount to others; the exchange had been too fierce.

Juliana stared wide-eyed at Feng Xuanxiang from the side. Although they all knew about his previous visit to Shi Man's parents and had even eaten a meal together, the problem was that he was unwilling to elaborate on the specific details, only mentioning a few points. But Juliana and Wang Qiqi both knew the process couldn't have been that pleasant, yet they couldn't get the actual situation out of him. They never imagined there would be a day they could learn the inside story. If it weren't for the principal parties being present, Juliana would have loved to loudly call Wang Qiqi over to hear the account.

Juliana's undisguised look of anticipation for drama was evident to Feng Xuanxiang and Shi Man, who both felt like crying internally. Feng Xuanxiang didn't not want to spin a yarn, but with Juliana and Wang Qiqi present, would they let him get away with it? "Actually, the process isn't important. What matters is that everyone's mindset is different. Perhaps the tactics my man used worked on my parents, but they might not work on your Vivien's parents." Shi Man was reluctant to put her man in a difficult spot, especially since the two people present had instigated all of this.

At that moment, Shi Man forgot that if she hadn't provoked him earlier about meeting her future father-in-law, no one would have brought this up. Although Shi Man’s words held a hint of evasion, Dai Lijun found them quite reasonable. Different people indeed had different ways of thinking. "That's true, but I still think it's necessary to hear about your experience and lessons learned. I imagine the thoughts of most parents seeing a prospective son-in-law arrive are quite similar." Well, persistent people remain persistent; for example, he kept clinging to this topic.

Juliana had thought Dai Lijun might be successfully talked out of it by Shi Man. She wanted to enlighten the poor fool who was potentially being fooled, but she was pinned down by the fierce look Shi Man shot her. She hadn't expected the blockhead to be so utterly persistent. Juliana covered her mouth, stifling a laugh, and gave Dai Lijun a thumbs-up, signaling his cleverness. When Dai Lijun saw Juliana giving him a thumbs-up, he found it rather strange.

What did Nana mean by that? Was she praising him or mocking him? But that wasn't the main point; the main point was he wanted to know how Feng Xuanxiang had faced his future in-laws back then. Dai Lijun's gaze really made Feng Xuanxiang a bit flustered. He sputtered for a long time before organizing the words he had said and the words Shi Man's parents had said during his visit to the Shi family in his mind.

He then slowly recounted them, although he only shared superficial things. He omitted things like the Shi parents' opinions of him, their concerns, or their various doubts and speculations. "We are all going abroad. I will be abroad for two years before Manman leaves, which fits your situation and your girlfriend's quite well. The important thing is to point out the difficulties you will encounter..." Hearing this, Dai Lijun felt that if the difficulties were pointed out, "Wouldn't the other parents be even more inclined to prevent Vivien and me from being together?" Being separated by distance was already enough reason for breakups, let alone being separated by the Pacific Ocean like Vivien and me.

Even with the internet, it's not as good as face-to-face interaction. Even on the phone, how many times can you call? "If you don't mention the problems you encounter, and only talk about the beautiful future prospects, no parents will ever agree." Feng Xuanxiang thought the young man lacked experience. At that moment, he completely forgot that when he visited Shi Man's parents, he had also discussed his future plans, and he hadn't anticipated how many possibilities might arise in those two intervening years, which led to him being stumped by question after question from Shi Man's parents. Juliana noticed that Feng Xuanxiang seemed to sigh when he reached this point, carrying a sense of heavy-heartedness.

She wondered if Feng Xuanxiang had been like Dai Lijun back then, otherwise, why would he emphasize this point so heavily? Dai Lijun let out an "Oh." He supposed that was true. Anyone could make a promise, but fulfilling it might not be easy. "I understand. I will work hard to show them my resolve." Although Dai Lijun knew there were many temptations abroad, he still felt, "I don't want to marry a foreign girl; how will we communicate with my parents in the future?

Besides, besides, foreigners don't support their parents; I can't accept that." The fact that foreigners often only visit their parents on special occasions was hard for Dai Lijun to accept. Parents raise you, and you should be there to care for them. Seeing them only once a year, maybe just a greeting card or a phone call on an anniversary or holiday—this, in Dai Lijun's view, was unfilial. "We are Chinese; we should marry Chinese wives. The children we raise should also be taught Chinese culture from a young age, so they learn to respect their elders..." Wang Qiqi came out of the kitchen just as she heard Dai Lijun's words.

To be fair, he was an extremely filial child, but what he said next about raising children made Wang Qiqi deeply feel, "Daizi, you're thinking too far ahead. Get the mother of your child secured first. No matter how much you consider, you have to take it step by step. Listen carefully to the experience of someone who has been there, and quickly ask the questions you need answered while Feng Xuanxiang is still in the country. Don't wait until he goes abroad and regret not asking more." Wang Qiqi truly hadn't considered things so deeply.

She felt Feng Xuanxiang had far richer experience than Han Tao. Asking Daizi questions to Han Tao wouldn't yield much information. Although Han Tao had talked with Wang Damei, she was his aunt, after all, and had no influence on his decisions—it felt more like a routine conversation. But Lu Qiaowei's girlfriend was different; she could very well wield the same power as Shi Man's parents. Feng Xuanxiang's heart, which had just settled, suddenly tightened again.

At this moment, he had only one thought: he should have brought Manman back to his own place to rest. Sure, there was ready food here and nothing needed to be done, and those two points were true, but the pressure was immense! He almost spilled the story of his most embarrassing moment. How would he ever show his face in front of Wang Qiqi and the others again? Juliana stopped muffling her laughter and burst out laughing loudly.

The two of them wanted to avoid this topic, but with Daizi in front and Wang Qiqi behind, escaping wasn't going to be easy. 《Shanzhai in Another World》The Fake Saintess Deity and Her Reborn Knight Fanboy!~ 《Interstellar: Men's Beauty Surges》The Reincarnated Great Demon and Her Interstellar Handsome Battleship! 【Soul Snatching in Interstellar】The Golden Core Ancestor's Interstellar Soul Snatching Rebirth Journey!RS
