City Center, Yuexiu District.
Daruifa Shopping Mall.
Inside a luxury store, an uncommon pairing of an elderly husband and a young wife attracted countless astonished gazes from shoppers in the mall.
The elderly man appeared to be around 60 years old, having reached the age of wisdom.
He wore a gray Zhongshan suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a mustache shaped like the number eight.
Although his hair was graying, he maintained a good physique and exuded a refined and cultured aura.
From a distance, he looked like a highly knowledgeable old professor.
"(￣┏Д┓￣°*)"
The woman holding onto his arm was a beautiful young lady with delicate features.
She had a smile as radiant as a blooming flower and an elegant, curvaceous figure that firmly captured the fiery gazes of many male tourists.
Wearing a purple qipao, she exuded an air of nobility and elegance, radiating a soft, feminine charm.
Especially on her face...
The occasional joyful smile she displayed and the gentle way she touched her stomach every few steps.
It perfectly showcased a glow of motherhood and boundless tenderness.
At first, this didn't seem unusual—seeing an older man and a younger woman walking intimately together, people merely assumed they were a father and daughter shopping together.
Until the young woman sweetly called out...
"Hubby~~"
"Listen, our baby is so naughty! I think he kicked me again~~~"
??????
What the heck (???)!!!!!!
They're not father and daughter, but husband and wife?!
Everyone's worldview was shattered!!!
Especially the men present, who were full of frustration—what exactly did they lose out on?!
Was it because they were too young? Or because they bathed every day?!
No, Li Jie, I really don't understand this!!!! (A Chinese internet slang expressing disbelief.)
Noticing the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes around him, Wang Defa's eyes flashed with pride.
Then he deliberately touched the young woman's belly and loudly boasted:
"Our son is barely a month old. How could he be moving so soon?"
"Yan'er, you're too nervous! Relax a little!"
"Right now, you and the baby are my treasures. If anything were to happen to either of you, I wouldn't want to live anymore."
Upon hearing this.
Su Yan's face flushed red, filled with happiness.
She felt she had not chosen the wrong person—her husband truly loved her the most.
Look, he even said...
That my child and I are his treasures, and for us, he would even give up his own life...
With such a sincere and devoted man, how could I possibly let him go?!
Sigh....
Unfortunately, that old fossil at home just doesn't understand love. He even claimed that my husband was a scumbag deceiving me.
Hmph! That's pure slander!
Ever since she became pregnant with Wang Defa's child...
Su Yan's heart was completely tied to the old man, and she had started calling him "hubby~~" directly.
She felt truly happy, believing she had found her lifelong home.
So, as soon as the prenatal check-up report came out, she immediately went to Su Shengtian, wanting to share this joy with her father.
But who could have expected that old man to still be so stubborn and unyielding.
Not only did he refuse to give her his blessings, but he even cursed her viciously, demanding that she immediately go to the hospital and abort the child.
Even now, when recalling her father's heartless and ugly expression...
Su Yan still felt an icy chill in her heart, an unbearable pain piercing through her soul!!!
She was his biological daughter, and the child in her belly was his own grandchild, a living, breathing life!!!!
How could he say such a cruel thing like "abortion" so easily?
Su Yan truly didn't understand why her father could be so cruel to her...
At that moment, she felt utterly disheartened, her face covered in tears.
Fortunately...
Heaven sees all that people do.
Karma always comes full circle.
Perhaps even the heavens couldn't stand her father's cruelty, so they sent divine punishment upon him...
"Yan'er? Yan'er? Are you okay? Don't scare me!"
Noticing that Su Yan's emotions were off.
A hint of anxiety appeared on Wang Defa's aged face.
"Hubby, I'm fine. Don't worry!"
Seeing Wang Defa's worried eyes turn red, as if he was about to shed manly tears at any moment.
Su Yan's heart felt warm, and she was overwhelmed with happiness.
She felt even more strongly that bearing children for the man in front of her was the greatest honor of her life, her lifelong glory!!!
With such a husband, what more could a wife ask for?
"I'm grateful that I held my ground back then and didn't believe my father's nonsense."
"Otherwise, how could we be together today like this, side by side?"
Hearing this, Wang Defa grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth, looking extremely proud.
So, what if Su Shengtian was successful in business?
Didn't I still get his daughter into my bed?
Even the wealth he worked half his life to accumulate would sooner or later fall into my pocket...
Of course, he only fantasized about this in his mind. On the surface, he let out a deep sigh, looking full of guilt.
"Sigh… Yan'er! Actually, Brother Su wasn't entirely wrong. Our age gap is too big, and it's hard to have a future together."
"I can understand Brother Su's concerns. If I were in his shoes and it were my daughter… I'd probably do the same as him..."
"But I can't help it—I love you! Even knowing there may be no future, I just can't stop loving you."
"Even if the whole world condemns me, I don't want to have any regrets in life..."
"Because my mind and my heart, every wrinkle on my face, every aging organ in my body is saying… I love you, Yan'er."
"......."
Wang Defa curled his lips into a smile, the wrinkles on his face stretching, as he recited the cringy love lines his grandson had hastily copied for him last night.
At the same time, he knelt on one knee, completely disregarding his aged and frail appearance, imitating the deep and passionate confessions of young lovers.
To outsiders, this scene of an old man wooing a young woman appeared somewhat nauseating...
But in the eyes of someone blinded by love, it was nothing but "deep affection."
She couldn't help but burst into tears of joy, overwhelmed by emotions.
Her husband... was just too romantic!!!!
As for the whispers and stares from those around them, Su Yan's mind automatically filtered them into admiration, jealousy, and quiet blessings...
Immediately after, the old man and the young woman passionately kissed in public.
Ugh~~~
This utterly disgusting scene caused some tourists to vomit up their dinner from the night before~~~
Two and a half minutes later.
The two finally parted lips, realizing that quite a crowd had gathered around them.
Blushing, Su Yan took the old man's hand and started running through the crowd...
As they were about to leave the mall, they handed their numerous shopping bags full of luxury items to the cashier, preparing to pay and leave.
All of these were gifts Su Yan had bought for Wang Defa's family as his wife, meant as a formal gesture of goodwill.
"I'm sorry, Yan'er, I'm so useless. I always spend your money!"
"Hubby, what are you talking about? It's just a few million! Besides, isn't my money your money too?!"
Seeing Wang Defa belittle himself, Su Yan felt a pang of heartache and quickly comforted him.
"I know you're a very talented man, you just need a platform to showcase it, an opportunity..."
"Before, I couldn't help you, but now I'm in charge of Su Group. I will do everything to help you achieve your dreams."
"Thank you, Yan'er."
Wang Defa was so moved that he pounded his chest and wept like an old man.
"Don't be like this. We are husband and wife! Isn't what's mine also yours?"
"Besides, after our child is born, I've decided to become a full-time housewife. I'll leave the company entirely in your hands!"
"I just want to be a good wife and mother, to be your happy woman behind the scenes."
"After all, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Since ancient times, men have ruled the outside world, and women have taken care of the home."
"The most important duty of a woman is to serve her man, be filial to her in-laws, and raise her children. That is the meaning of a woman's existence!"
"......"
Upon hearing this.
Wang Defa outwardly spoke about "times have changed" and "gender equality," but in his heart, he greatly agreed and was very satisfied with Su Yan's self-awareness.
Just then!
The cashier's face looked strange as they handed the bank card back.
"Miss Su, your card... seems to be frozen. Would you like to use another one?"
Frozen?!
How could this be!!!!
Su Yan froze, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
The last time her bank card was frozen, it was because her cruel father had used despicable means to force her to give up on her true love.
But he...
Wasn't he already punished by heaven and lying in the hospital now...?
