Aunt Cheng and Old Master Lu looked at the man who was sitting upright in surprise.
The man nodded slowly and added, "She was quite difficult to woo back then."
How could he turn a blind eye to the stage Tang Wei had set for him? Lu Beichen was still very talented in acting.
Old Master Lu frowned as he looked at his son in confusion. "Tsk, he doesn't look like that kind of person no matter how I look at him. I can't believe an iron tree like him managed to bloom."
Tang Wei couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. She teased, "Iron trees naturally can't bloom, but Lu Beichen can."
The old man's mood seemed to have improved a little, and he didn't care about Tang Wei talking like this to him.
Aunt Cheng's shrewd eyes turned. She was the best at observing people's expressions and knew that the old man did not have much prejudice against Tang Wei. She said, "Little Wei sure knows how to control Beichen. Old Master, look at how compatible they are. I never thought that Beichen would take the initiative to pursue a girl. It seems that he has met his true love. If he didn't make a move, someone else would've snatched her away."
"Fourth Brother should've known about it, too. This child didn't tell us in advance so that we couldn't prepare a gift for our daughter-in-law."
"Don't you think so, Old Master?"
Tang Wei didn't know what to say. She could only sit quietly at the side and wait for the old man to speak.
However, the old man felt that this child was quite polite through what had just happened. Cheng Nihe had complimented Tang Wei a lot just now. An ordinary person would definitely feel flattered if they heard all that. Usually, they wouldn't know what to say and would even mumble back some compliments to show politeness.
Actually, there was no need for that. The old master did not like to accept compliments. He did not like those that were fake.
Tang Wei didn't know that her small silence had completely changed the old man's opinion of her.
On the other hand, she didn't take Old Master Lu's silence to heart. To her, he wasn't that important of a person.
Tang Wei looked at Lu Beichen. If he was the person she liked, she would definitely feel a little nervous when facing his elders. She would also want to stick to him at all times.
However, if the old master didn't like her, wouldn't it be bad for her nominal husband?
Although they didn't need to curry favor with each other's parents, she still had to fulfill her duty as a daughter-in-law since Lu Beichen married her.
Tang Wei lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Well…"
"When you return to the old mansion, there will naturally be gifts." Old Master Lu's tone was no longer as stiff as before.
After waiting for a long time, the old man finally opened his mouth mercifully. Tang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she still didn't know how to find a topic with this serious father-in-law.
Aunt Cheng patted Tang Wei's hand. "Your father-in-law favors you, so the old mansion will definitely prepare good gifts."
"Thank you, Father-in-law and Aunt." Tang Wei said respectfully.
Old Master Lu nodded at her, which was rare.
Lu Beichen saw this scene. He tapped his fingers on the sofa's armrest and smiled.
How did she coax Old Master Lu so easily? He thought that it would take her a lot more effort.
"Beichen, bring your wife over again in a few days." Aunt Cheng turned to Lu Beichen.
"Alright," Lu Beichen said softly.
"You'd better not arrange a marriage for me with the Su family again."
Aunt Cheng said, "Don't worry about that. Didn't you say no the other day? Your father already asked your brother to reject it."
Lu Beichen was surprised for a moment.
"Hmph, do you think I'm a fool?" Old Master Lu looked at him unhappily.
Lu Beichen regained his serious expression and gave him a thumbs up. "No, you're very smart."
Old Master Lu rolled his eyes at him.
Tang Wei was speechless. Their interactions were a little funny. She wanted to laugh, but she held it in.
"Aunt Wang has prepared dinner," Aunt Cheng said loudly. "Old Master, let's eat first."
"Yes." Old Master Lu replied.
The few of them sat at the dining table and looked at the variety of dishes.
"Aunt Wang's cooking is really getting better and better." Aunt Cheng said as she served Old Master Lu some food.
Aunt Wang had a simple and honest smile on her face. She said cheerfully, "I always learn new dishes. Third Master Lu is generous to us servants. He pays us 20,000 yuan a month and even grants us leave. Which wealthy family is as generous as Third Master Lu? I can't wait to learn all the good dishes and cook them for Third Master and Madam."
Tang Wei was shocked when she heard Auntie Wang mention her salary. Lu Beichen was really generous.
She looked at the man.
When Lu Beichen heard this, he smiled noncommittally. His handsome face had a rare gentle smile.
"Aunt Wang, do you think my salary is too low or too high? Why don't I get the HR Department to allocate more for you guys for a month?"
Aunt Wang was stunned on the spot when she heard that. Her Third Master was definitely someone who could do such a thing.
But how could she let him do that?
She quickly waved her hand. "Oh, no more. Third Master's words are making my old heart tremble."
"Hahaha…"
As soon as Aunt Wang declined, Old Master Lu's loud laughter spread across the dining table.
Aunt Cheng also pursed her lips and smiled.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Tang Wei had a smile on her lips. Just as she scooped a spoonful of soup and was about to drink it, a fair hand gripped the porcelain spoon handle. The owner of the spoon was her husband, Lu Beichen.
Lu Beichen placed the tender meat in his spoon into his wife's bowl. He glanced at her and retracted his hand as if there was no one else around.
"Thank you," Tang Wei said in a low voice.
"You're welcome," the man replied in a low voice.
Aunt Wang stood beside Aunt Cheng and Old Master Lu and said to them gratefully, "Old Master, Old Madam, I've never seen Third Master be so considerate to anyone. They're really a loving couple."
Aunt Cheng nodded in agreement. "Indeed. It looks like Old Master and I are going to have granddaughters and grandsons soon."
When Old Master Lu heard that he was going to carry a grandson, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became obvious, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"I hope this brat can give me that."
Aunt Cheng said, "Don't worry. Beichen loves Little Wei so much, so this will definitely happen soon."
Old Master Lu nodded. He hoped so. Otherwise, he would regret it if he died and didn't have time to wait for their child to be born.
The three of them were talking about children on the other side of the dining table. Lu Beichen and Tang Wei could naturally hear them, but they pretended not to hear them and deliberately avoided the topic..
However, the more they avoided things, the more he would meet with the muzzle of a gun. It was really Murphy's Law.
Old Master Lu's expression was serious as he said, "Don't pretend that you two didn't hear anything. Give birth to a grandson as soon as possible."
What?
What grandson?
"Are Lu Beichen's genes that strong?" Tang Wei mumbled to herself.
Lu Beichen said, "Try it and you'll know."
Tang Wei coughed with a red face and swallowed her saliva.
"Father-in-law, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Beichen also said that he wanted to spend more time alone with me before we plan for any children."
Tang Wei made up a random story and ignored Lu Beichen's gaze.
