I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 843: Marriage Before Love (12)

Translator: Lordbluefire

When Chu Tianye initially chose Su Yan, Shen Ruojing was present, so of course, she knew who Su Yan was. The reason he didn’t speak the truth earlier was to play around with Ye Lu a bit. After all, she understood that Ye Lu wouldn’t believe such words.

However, at this moment, for her son to suddenly say this, what was he up to?

Shen Ruojing held her teacup, raising an eyebrow as she watched their performance.

Ye Lu appeared visibly perplexed for a moment, then furrowed her brows, “Don’t try to fool me. What’s he scheming now? A forty-year-old man like him, I don’t believe he can still mess around outside… Even if he has the intention, he lacks the capability!”

In Chu Tianye’s presence, Ye Lu’s words were rather indirect.

Chu Tianye, indeed, didn’t catch on, but he sighed, “I’m not making things up. You know what the female stars in the entertainment industry are willing to do to climb up. I’ve heard that Su Yan is young, beautiful, and full of energy…”

Ye Lii furrowed her brows, “Tianye, whose side are you on?!”

Chu Tianye sighed, “I’m not taking sides. I’m just telling the truth. I asked Uncle Cheng about it, and he said he didn’t outright reject that person, after all…”

Chu Tianye glanced at Ye Lii, “After all, he has always wanted to marry you. But you refuse. Uncle Cheng mentioned that he’s getting old, and he never knows when an accident might happen. He just wants a family.”

Ye Lu hesitated slightly.

Chu Tianye continued to fuel the fire, “Uncle Cheng is quite pitiful too. The old master at home has been urging him to get married and have children. Besides, Aunt Ye Lu, you’re already in your forties, right? You might not be able to have children anymore. So, Uncle Cheng is looking for a younger woman to bear a child for both of you. Don’t worry, he hasn’t changed his heart. He’s just considering his future…”

This ignited a spark of indignation in Ye Lu. She covered her abdomen and exclaimed, “Who said I can’t have children?!”

In the middle of her sentence, she suddenly comprehended Chu Tianye’s earlier words, “You said that Lord Lu has been pressuring him to marry and have children?”

Chu Tianye nodded and continued sighing, “Yes, you know too. Back then, Lord Lu and my mother became sworn siblings. My mother is also Uncle Cheng’s aunt. So, Lord Lu often comes to me to vent. Hasn’t Uncle Cheng ever told you about this?”

Ye Lu pursed her lips.

He truly never told her.

Every time, Lu Cheng would only propose to her, and even when rejected, he wouldn’t get angry. He’d simply continue accompanying her.

She always thought that Lu Cheng wasn’t in a rush.

Besides, she genuinely didn’t want to tie herself down with marriage. But hearing Chu Tianye’s words, had Lu Cheng been bearing so much pressure for her all these years?

She experienced the panic of being pressured to marry daily. That old man Ye Wei was now calling her every day, asking when she would get married. He even threatened her at times.

Ye Lu bit her lip and didn’t know what to say for a while.

After a long silence, she finally sighed, “He never told me all this.”

Chu Tianye continued to add fuel to the fire, “Uncle Cheng is like that. He won’t directly pressure you.”

He’d only quietly go find his father-in-law to indirectly apply the pressure!

Of course, Chu Tianye didn’t say this.

Ye Lu didn’t think much about it either. She suddenly stood up, took out her phone, and dialed Lu Cheng’s number. He picked up almost instantly, “Wife, I really have nothing with that female star. I swear, if I have anything to do with her, let thunder strike me down! I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Lu coughed lightly, “I’m not your wife yet, why are you calling me that? Are you free tomorrow?”

“Huh?”

“If you’re free, let’s go register our marriage.”

“Huh? Huh? Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! I’m free!”

Lu Cheng joyfully hung up the phone. Soon after, Chu Tianye received a WeChat message from him, “Damn it! How did you manage this? Ye Lu Aunt agreed to marry me so quickly?”

Chu Tianye rolled his eyes.

Lu Cheng had only been straightforward. Ye Lu, this proud young lady, needed some appropriate provocation! If Lu Cheng had expressed his desire to marry sooner and wasn’t seen as an advocate of celibacy, she probably would’ve agreed a long time ago.

The online rumors were still raging.

Chu Tianye didn’t pay them any mind. He felt that such matters would fade in popularity in a couple of days.

However, he didn’t expect to receive a sudden text message notification from Su Yan in the evening. Su Yan had been residing on the film set, so Chu Tianye was back at the Chu Manor to rest.

When he opened the message, it was from Su Yan’s WeChat, “I’m sorry, there might be many people bothering you in the recent days. Apologies for the inconvenience.”

Chu Tianye,”??”

Just as he was wondering what this was about, a screenshot from Lu Cheng arrived,

Su Yan’s Weibo post was visible on it, Su Yan Married, thank you.

The attached image was a marriage certificate, though Chu Tianye’s name and photo were pixelated.

Lu Cheng messaged again, [Oh no, oh no! Ye Lu must have realized she was fooled.. Will she stand me up again tomorrow?]
