Chapter 203 He's here! He's here!

Shi Shi took his phone. Her face, glistening with tears from the kiss, and her bright red lips brought the phone close. She whispered, "I want to get engaged to you. Let's try to build a married life together. Let's see if you can be a good husband, and if I can take on the role of a wife."

Fu Yingzhou took her small hand in his large hand and pulled the phone closer to himself.

"I can do it, and you can too."

The recording stopped; absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The cell phone left on the dining table…

Use and throw away? Am I part of your game too?

The next day

Fu Yingzhou's success in taking office was due to his exceptional initiative. The very next morning, he pulled Shi Shi out of bed and drove to the Fu family's old residence.

"I'm so tired. I'm on the verge of exploding with rage. Brother Niu, get ready to take the heat."

"Be good, let's go back and pick out some gifts so I can visit your uncle and aunt."

Shishi stared in disbelief: "Does it have to be in such a hurry?"

Fu Yingzhou glared at her: "We finally got you to agree, why don't you hurry up and seize the opportunity?"

"Alright."

Only the old man was at the Fu family's old house today. He was quite happy to see his second grandson bring Shi Shi.

The old man had seen Shishi's performance in the international competition. He was extremely satisfied with his future granddaughter-in-law.

"What brings you here today?"

Shishi naturally couldn't say, "I was brought here by your second grandson to plunder things."

"I was so busy traveling back to China yesterday that I didn't have time to come see you. It would have been so impolite of me not to come today."

"Good boy, don't act like an outsider. Going abroad for a competition must be mentally exhausting and you won't get any rest. If you want to see me, you can come anytime!"

The old man chatted with Shi Shi, showering her with concern and care. Then he turned to Fu Yingzhou and said, "You'd better take good care of Shi Shi and make sure she doesn't suffer any grievances."

Fu Yingzhou quickly nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely cherish Shishi."

Afterwards, Fu Yingzhou began selecting gifts to take to Shi Shi's house in the old house. He carefully chose several valuable antiques and tonics, which made Shi Shi gasp in amazement: "You're being too extravagant."

Fu Yingzhou raised an eyebrow: "It's my first time visiting, so I can't be shabby."

After packing the gifts, the two set off for Shi Shi's home. Along the way, Shi Shi was still a little uneasy, and would steal glances at Fu Yingzhou from time to time. He looked calm and would comfort her from time to time, telling her not to be nervous.

Seeing his reaction, Shishi calmed down. She thought to herself, "He's the prospective son-in-law meeting his future in-laws, not me! What's there to be afraid of?"

Shishi took out her phone and dialed her mother's number: "Mom, are you and Dad home?"

"I'm at home! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I'll go back to see you guys in a bit, and I'll bring a friend along."

Shishi has always been too nonchalant about her love life. So much so that no one realized the friend she brought home was her boyfriend; they only assumed it was a female friend like Xinran.

At this moment, not only Kong Pan and his wife were in Yiyuan, but also Kong Lai and his wife, Shen He, and Kong Fang!

When they arrived at Shi Shi's building, Shi Shi took a deep breath and was about to get out of the car when Fu Yingzhou grabbed her hand.

"What if my uncle and aunt don't accept me?"

"I don't know either!"

There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Kong are the kind of parents who love their daughter very much. What is most commendable is that neither of them is the type to cling to their child, they do not have a strong desire to control, and they never interfere in Shishi's private life.

It was rare to see Fu Yingzhou so nervous, and Shishi found it somewhat amusing.

She wrapped her arms around Fu Yingzhou's neck and gave him two quick kisses.

She looked at Fu Yingzhou with seductive eyes: "So you have to try your best to please me, you know? My liking you is the most important thing!"

"Yes, sir!"

Fu Yingzhou had brought too many things, so he asked Shishi to open the door first. Shishi was carrying two relatively light boxes, which occupied her hands. She had no choice but to use facial recognition to unlock the door.

The door opened, and as Shi Shi stepped inside, she heard a lively commotion coming from inside. Looking closer...

Good heavens!

There's so many people here!

All eyes turned to the doorway, and Shi Shi smiled awkwardly. Just then, Fu Yingzhou walked in carrying a pile of gifts, and Shi Shi quickly introduced him: "Mom and Dad, this is Fu Yingzhou, the friend I mentioned to you."

Before Shi Shi's parents could react, Kong Lai teased, "Oh, Shi Shi, this friend seems quite special. Is it Xiao Fu? Come in and sit down."

Shi Shi blushed, and Fu Yingzhou quickly greeted her with a smile: "Hello, uncles and aunts, hello elders. This is my first time here, and I brought some small gifts."

As they spoke, they arranged the gifts one by one. Shi Shi's parents realized that this was their daughter's boyfriend, and their faces lit up with kind smiles. They pulled Fu Yingzhou aside and started chatting, asking about his work and family situation.

Fu Yingzhou answered fluently, occasionally throwing in a humorous remark that made everyone laugh. Shi Shi watched from the side, feeling much more at ease, thinking that Fu Yingzhou must have rehearsed the drills many times in his mind, otherwise how could he perform so well?

In the midst of their lively conversation, Shi's father suddenly asked, "Xiao Fu, tell me, how do you plan to treat Shishi well in the future?"

All eyes immediately focused on Fu Yingzhou. Fu Yingzhou felt like a spy caught under the spotlight of an interrogation room, with nowhere to hide. He remained calm and earnest, saying, "I will provide Shishi with a comfortable life. I will pamper her, take care of her, and accompany her in doing what she likes. No matter what happens in the future, I will stand by her side and never let her suffer any injustice."

Shi Shi listened, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart. Shi Shi's mother nodded with a smile, "It seems you really like Shi Shi. However... liking someone is a very unstable factor."

Shen Jingyuan looked at his wife and daughter, who were both very enthusiastic. He said helplessly, "Sister, brother-in-law, I have something to do, so we won't be having dinner here tonight. The three of us will be leaving now."

After saying that, he turned to look at Shishi and said, "I'll borrow the money for one day. I'll return it to you tomorrow."

Shishi gave an OK sign.

He and Shen Jingyuan led a group of onlookers away, keeping their achievements and fame hidden.

After the group left, the once lively and cheerful living room instantly cooled down.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Shi Shi started chatting about everyday things, trying to make the atmosphere more harmonious and warm.

Unfortunately, none of the other three cooperated.

Fu Yingzhou pressed down on Shishi's hand, which was resting on her knee, and patted it twice reassuringly, indicating that she should hand it over to him.

Kong Pan, watching from across the way, saw her daughter's worried expression and cursed her inwardly for being such a wretched girl! "I'm just asking a few questions, what, are you going to eat him alive?!"

Fu Yingzhou's gaze met that of Shi's parents across from him.

He began to speak...
