Upon hearing Yang Rou's words, Lu Man was even more surprised.

She pointed to herself and couldn't help but ask, "Because of me?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, other girls also couldn't help but look over, eager to find out why.

Yang Rou spoke in a measured tone, "His visit to your parents is certainly not just a casual one, but to discuss the matter of a lifetime with you."

"And you know what kind of person he is, he has never liked to treat people unevenly. Since he's discussed such important matters with your family, he'll definitely need to consider everyone's situation."

"So, he needs to communicate with his family. To avoid problems later on."

"After all, with our families, we can cooperate and keep things hidden. But Chen Yan's parents will definitely want to meet our families."

Upon hearing Yang Rou's explanation, the girls finally understood why Chen Yan was so "brave" today.

As they gained understanding, Yang Rou's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the window before she said bleakly, "Let's hope... everything goes smoothly on his end."

"Otherwise, the situation will always be difficult to handle..."

After her words, the girls couldn't help but feel empathetic, as this was indeed about their lifelong matters...

......

Meanwhile.

Qin Island, Residential Complex.

At Chen Yan's parents' home.

Chen Yan was chased all over the house by his mom wielding a broom!

As she chased after Chen Yan, she cursed, "You rascal! Do you have any conscience at all? Such nice girls! No! Such nice bunch of girls! How can you face them?"

While running, Chen Yan frantically tried to explain, "Mom! Don't get so worked up, we truly love each other. It's real affection!"

"I haven't lied to them, nor have I harmed them!"

"If I were to break up with them after getting together, wouldn't I be a scumbag?"

Listening to Chen Yan's twisted logic, his mother grew even angrier, and she yelled, "Have you no shame? Falling for five or six girls at once, and you still have the guts to talk about true love!"

"Everyone is raised by their father and mother, how can you face their parents!"

While fleeing, Chen Yan corrected her, "Mom. It's the mother who raises and the father who helps out. You got it wrong..."

Chen's Mom: .....

"I'll beat you to death, you rascal!"

While the mother and son chased each other, Lao Chen sat on the couch, head bowed, continuously smoking one cigarette after another.

The matter with his son was also a bit much for him to take in at once.

As a father, however, he was better at keeping his composure.

But staying calm didn't mean he could accept Chen Yan's behavior of juggling five or six romances. That's why, despite usually adoring Chen Yan the most, he didn't intervene in his wife's pursuit...

...And so, the family was in chaos for almost half an hour.

In the end, Chen's Mom and Lao Chen didn't give Chen Yan much of a chance; they simply kicked him out of the house.

From their tone, it seemed Chen Yan would no longer be recognized as their son if he didn't resolve the situation.

Of course... those were words said in a fit of rage.

Chen Yan didn't take them seriously.

He knew his parents were just infuriated.

Both of them were the most straightforward and honest people, who never expected much from themselves. All they wanted was a peaceful life, good health, a virtuous daughter-in-law, a little baby, to happily live out their days.

Now, their happiness had multiplied.

And it was fivefold at that.

It was normal for the old couple to need some time to adjust to the shock.

Chen Yan felt that by not aggravating them further and giving them some time, there should... be a turning point.

With this in mind, Chen Yan didn't persist in knocking or returning home, but went downstairs empty-handed, got into his car, and went back to his own place.

Once home, Chen Yan began to pack his luggage.

Although he had yet to sort things out with his parents, he couldn't keep dragging things on with Lu Man. Chen Yan felt it was best to make preparations in advance to resolve the situation with Lu Man's parents at one fell swoop as a great start...

The next day, Chen Yan called his parents.

He was hung up on immediately.

Chen Yan made two more calls.

The bad news was that they still didn't answer; the good news was... at least he hadn't been blocked.

Chen Yan was quite relieved.

He went to the office, where Yang Rou was already waiting in the office.

Seeing that Chen Yan's face did not bear any hard-to-hide joy, the perceptive woman instantly understood the outcome.

She didn't say much, only got up, went through the door, and gave Chen Yan a hug, offering him some comfort.

That afternoon, Chen Yan and Lu Man boarded a private jet bound for the Magic City and went to Lu Man's home.

After the plane landed, Lu Man returned home first in accordance with her family's customs, expecting Chen Yan to visit her home the next noon, while Chen Yan himself was accommodated in a suite of a five-star hotel in the Magic City arranged by the staff, where he continued his preparations.

Following the principle of "the more gifts, the better," Chen Yan and the assistant went out and purchased a plethora of presents in the evening.

They included fine tobacco and liquor for Lu Man's father and jewelry for Lu Man's mother.

While preparing the gifts, Chen Yan also sought Lu Man's opinion, ensuring that the purchases would be well-received. He was confident that there would be no problems.

And at the same time...

Qin Island, Yu Qiao Qiao's home.

The matter between Chen Yan and Zhao Qingtian had resolved somewhat abruptly, and Yu Qiao Qiao was admittedly curious.

She wasn't one for gossip, but when it came to someone she liked, she still wanted to carefully learn as much as possible.

Therefore, over the past half a month, she had asked Yang Rou, Lu Man, and a few other women.

From their bits and pieces of conversation, Yu Qiao Qiao managed to piece together the course of how the incident was resolved.

She learned that one very important department and person were involved.
