For the Yu Family, having their grandson not getting married or having children is something no parent would like, right?

Good thing Yu Zexiao is a man. For a man, even if he doesn’t get married by forty, with his personal qualities, there will still be plenty of young, attractive girls running after him! Just look at Jian Anning; let’s see if she can hold off on having kids until she’s forty!

Unexpectedly, Shen Lanxiao called to say that actually, Jian Anning has been trying to get pregnant all this time, and the two of them are working hard. Once they have a child, they’ll get married. Xia Ziyu’s back pain and fatigue vanished immediately, and she felt so invigorated she practically flew up the stairs to see Jian Anning, excitedly shaking her hand.

Seeing this, Jian Anning felt even more guilty. No matter how you look at it, delaying marriage with Yu Zexiao and not planning on having children for several years really did hurt the feelings of the elders.

To make up for this, she resolved to be a better wife and mother in the future and ensure Yu Zexiao’s happiness.

And at today’s birthday party, Yu Zexiao had told the family that it was also their engagement banquet.

Xia Ziyu doesn’t care too much as long as Yu Zexiao has offspring. She knows the approach of young people marrying nowadays is different from their time, with things like engagement and proposals. Back then, if families were well-matched, they’d meet and marry directly, without all these formalities.

And now, with young people having so many ways to do things, she doesn’t mind. So long as Jian Anning obediently has children, that’s fine.

Since they were planning a big event, and especially since even the infamously unattainable "lady killer" Mo Siyu had settled down to marry and have kids, Yu Zexiao was determined to make this engagement exceptionally grand!

He originally intended to go big and wanted to broadcast invitations widely, even sending them to Shangcheng to invite the Ling and Qin Families to his wedding.

However, since this was an engagement, not a wedding, under the opposition of Shen Lanxiao and Yu Jingxi, Yu Zexiao decided not to invite them personally but simply informed them by phone.

Notification was limited to the younger generation, with only Ling Yichuan, Ling Yinuo, and Qin Xian being informed. Similarly, Leng Yunting and Leng Yunlin on the Yancheng side had also been told.

Shangcheng was too far, so the parents of the Ling and Qin Families didn’t come, only a few of the younger generation were present.

These families are closely connected, and especially since Yu Zexiao is a typically late bloomer of sorts, initially thought Ling Yichuan and the Leng brothers, who were savvy and had many girlfriends, would get engaged first.

Well, it’s just an engagement, not a wedding, but an engagement means things are pretty much settled.

What nobody expected was that the Leng brothers nearly turned into rivals over a woman. It’s been more than four years; although much of it has dissipated, there’s still some tension.

However, it seems Leng Yunlin has a new target — his secretary. And Leng Yunting, reportedly having spotted a woman in London resembling his love Luo Qingxue, now lingers there daily. At least they have new goals.

Because Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning are considered public figures, he wasn’t inclined to broadcast the engagement to the media.
