However, now his wife had a different woman’s face.

A trace of coldness flashed through He Linfeng’s eyes, and then he said to his son, “You stay with Mom; I’ll be right there.”

“Remember, you must stay by Mom’s side and take care of her. This time, none of us can lose Mom again, understand?”

He Zitong obediently nodded.]

[Awww, the baby is so well-behaved. Mom wants to hug him.]

[Help, help! He Linfeng is way too handsome! Just three minutes since he appeared, and I’ve completely fallen in love!]

[He Linfeng remembered and tattooed the rose birthmark on his chest, and the numbers next to it are his wife’s birthday, right? He really takes his wife to heart, both emotionally and physically! Such an exceptional man!]

[In comparison, Gu Chen and Gu Ze seem so weak! I’m going crazy for Mr. He!]

[Both CEOs! Both handsome! Gu Chen, can’t you learn something from Mr. He? Look at how Mr. He treats the one he loves. Look at how you treat the one you love. Are you really so oblivious about being a pervert?]

[Hehe, Gu Chen is just using the pervert thing to cover up the fact that he really is perverted. If you truly love someone, how could you immediately find a replacement for her when she disappears? Look at Mr. He, his wife has been missing for two years. So many women came to impersonate his wife, but he wouldn’t let any woman even touch his clothes. He just patiently waited for his wife to come home! That’s a real man!!!]

[Actually, I’ve noticed something very interesting now. Even though Yan Yue’s dramas are melodramatic and many characters’ values are problematic, she always manages to have one or two characters that show the audience what’s right. Just like Han Cheng and Su Zhen in “Dominating Son-in-law.” Do they love each other? They should, but compared to uncertain love, Su Zhen wants to “live together” with her daughter. Han Cheng also doesn’t act irrationally; he learned what to do in different stages. Love isn’t the only thing. Similarly, the Gu family and He Linfeng. Gu Chen is obsessive and crazy, treating his love interests like collectibles. But is that really love? Yan Yue quickly tells us what true love is, like He Linfeng’s – dedicated, unique. Even if it’s guarding memories, that person in your heart can never be replaced by anyone else. In short, Yan Yue, after departing from the previous war theme, has become quite a good scriptwriter now. I’m impressed.]

[The previous comment is so on point!! That’s exactly how I feel now! Whenever I’m annoyed by Gu Chen’s behavior and lines, Yan Yue always tells me not to love a pervert and to love a normal person. Yes, I love Mr. He! Sob sob sob]

[I’m actually starting to wonder if the storyline of He Linfeng and Gu Chen are related. Or are they just two separate stories?]

[Given Yan Yue’s style, I really feel like these two storylines are connected…]

Chen Linshan also thought that He Linfeng’s storyline and Gu Chen’s storyline should be related. Otherwise, it would be two separate stories, which wouldn’t make sense at all.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw that He Linfeng had sent a message after which the camera switched to Yu Ling, or rather, Ice Shatter’s side.

Chen Linshan: “!!!”

Aunt Wang: “!!”

Audience: “??!”

“Damn it!” Chen Linshan couldn’t help but slap her thigh. “He Linfeng just sent a message, and the camera switched to Yu Ling’s side!”

Doesn’t this mean that the message was sent to Yu Ling???

The amount of information in this is huge. Just now she was admiring Mr. He, but now she didn’t have time to continue drooling over him!

The barrage was just as surprised as her. Yan Yue was really good at creating suspense. They soon cut to Yu Ling’s light-brain screen. Yu Ling hadn’t received any message; she was secretly sending a message to Gu Chen, asking about his injuries.

Everyone: “…”]

[As He Linfeng sent the message to Yu Ling, Gu Ze came out of the bathroom.

There was an obvious awkward atmosphere between the two.

Soon, Gu Ze heard sobbing, and in an instant, his rationality crumbled. He hurried over to his fiancée and saw Yu Ling crying secretly. Gu Ze felt a profound sense of guilt. He knelt in front of Yu Ling, wiped away her falling tears, and with red eyes, he said remorsefully, “Yu Ling… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

Yu Ling tightly bit her lip and shook her head continuously. Tears fell down like broken pearls. She looked as if she had suffered immense humiliation, making anyone who saw her feel heartache.

Gu Ze’s sense of guilt grew, and any trace of resentment he had towards Yu Ling vanished completely. He held Yu Ling in his arms and comforted her incessantly.

On the other hand, having received Yu Ling’s message, Gu Chen was in a good mood. He was even shopping online to pick a gift for Yu Ling.

At this moment, a subtle change occurred in the relationship between the two brothers. On the surface, they seemed harmonious, but in reality, Gu Ze had begun to be wary of his younger brother. Likewise, Gu Chen, since childhood, had never submitted to his older brother. To him, being with Yu Ling, who he believed he could trust, was better than sticking with his conventional older brother.

Gu Ze seemed to have sensed Gu Chen’s thoughts. He sneered, “I thought the person in your heart was always Luli Yingxue? Di Meng? Bingxin…”]

Until the son aimed the light brain at the familiar rose birthmark…

For the first time, an expression other than indifference and a hint of gentleness toward his son appeared on He Linfeng’s face.

After the news of the He family searching for someone was released, many people pretended to be the missing wife of the He family in an attempt to get close to He Linfeng. However, these people only knew that the He family’s wife had a rose birthmark on her ankle but were unaware of the string of numbers tattooed next to the birthmark.

Those were He Linfeng’s birthday.

Similarly, on He Linfeng’s left chest, there was also a rose and a string of numbers.

It was his wife’s birthday.

Currently, right next to the red rose birthmark on the woman’s ankle was He Linfeng’s birthday!

She was his wife!

She was the wife he had been searching for desperately for two years!

Every day, he blamed himself for not bringing his sister along to find his wife…

Now, he had finally found her.

However, his wife now had a different woman’s face.

A trace of coldness flashed in He Linfeng’s eyes, then he said to his son, “Stay with your mother for now, I’ll be right there.”

“Xiaotong, remember, you must stay by your mother’s side and take care of her at all times. This time, none of us can lose your mother again, understand?”

He Zitong obediently nodded.

[Whimpering, the baby is so well-behaved, mommy hugs]

[Help! He Linfeng is too handsome! Only three minutes into his appearance, and I’m completely in love!]

[In the flashback, He Linfeng even tattooed the rose birthmark on his chest, and the adjacent tattoo is his wife’s birthday, right? He really values his wife in a physical sense! Damn! He’s an extraordinary good man!]

[In comparison, Gu Chen and Gu Ze are nothing! I’m going crazy over CEO He, y-y-y!]

[Both CEOs, both handsome guys! Gu Chen, can’t you learn from CEO He? Look at how CEO He treats someone he likes, and then look at how you treat someone you like! Are you learning to find a substitute for the white moonlight? Have you lost all sense of being abnormal!]

[Heh, Gu Chen is just using the white moonlight as a cover for his own abnormality. If you truly love someone, how could you find a substitute for her as soon as she disappears? Look at CEO He, his wife has been missing for two years, so many people have come trying to impersonate his wife, but he has always been distant to strangers. He won’t even let other women touch his sleeves. He just waits for his wife to come home with a bitter face! That’s a real man!!!]

[Actually, looking at it now, I’ve noticed something very interesting. Even though Yan Yue’s dramas are melodramatic and many characters have flawed worldviews, she always has one or two characters who tell the audience what’s right. Just like in “Overbearing Son-in-Law,” Han Cheng and Su Zhen, do they love each other? They probably do, but compared to those unrealistic loves, Su Zhen wants to “live” with her daughter, Han Cheng also doesn’t insist on life and death, he has learned what to do in each stage. Love isn’t the only thing. Then there’s the Gu family and He Linfeng in comparison. Gu Chen is obsessive and crazy, collecting women who resemble the white moonlight as if collecting items, but is that really love? Yan Yue quickly tells us what true love is, like He Linfeng’s. It’s the unwavering, unique, even if it’s just guarding memories, that person in your heart can never be replaced by anyone. In short, Yan Yue has moved away from the war theme, and now she’s really a good screenwriter, making people appreciate her.]

[What you said earlier is really great!! That’s right! I feel the same way now! Whenever I get annoyed by some of Gu Chen’s behavior and lines, Yan Yue always tells me in the next moment not to love abnormality, to love normal people. Yes, I love CEO He, wuwuwu.]

[I’m starting to wonder now, is there a connection between CEO He’s storyline and Gu Chen’s storyline? Or are they just two separate stories?]

[Based on Yan Yue’s style, I feel like these two storylines should be connected…]

Chen Linsan also felt that CEO He’s storyline and Gu Chen’s storyline should be related. Otherwise, it would be completely two separate stories and unnecessary.

Just as she was thinking this, CEO He sent a message before going to the planet where his son was.

The message content was: [“Your sister is back.”]

The recipient wasn’t shown on the screen, and Chen Linsan was about to go back and check for any clues, but the scene switched to Yu Ling, or rather Ice Shang, on the other side.

Chen Linsan: “!!!”

Wang Yi: “!!”

Audience: “??!”

“Damn!” Chen Linsan couldn’t help but slap her thigh, “CEO He just sent the message, and the scene switches to Yu Ling!”

Does this mean that the message was sent to Yu Ling???

This information was significant to Chen Linsan, who had been infatuated with CEO He, but at this point, she had no time to continue her infatuation!

Following suit, the barrage also echoed her thoughts, asking CEO He to quickly become Ice Shang’s dog! Even though CEO He’s behavior towards Yu Ling already resembled that of a dog, it wasn’t enough!

[“Put a dog leash on him, take him out for a walk when you’re in a good mood, and give him a beating when you’re not!”]

[“There are only two minutes left! Will CEO He appear again? I want to see CEO He, wuwuwu”]

[“That’s right, Yan Yue better not pull another twist at the end, right?”]

This twist-related barrage emerged, but many people felt it was unlikely. So many twists had already happened until now, first the sister-in-law, then Ice Shang returning as a revenge-driven character, and now even Shen Ruojin is the He family’s wife. Not to mention, there’s also a genius baby of three and a half years!

So many twists had already taken place, and as the show was ending in two minutes, what kind of twist could possibly happen?

Audience: It’s impossible for there to be another twist! Definitely impossible! See you next week, everyone.

Someone started it, and many viewers began spamming “See you next week” in the barrage. At this point, there was only one and a half minutes left until the end of the episode.

However, just at that moment, the thunderstruck plot arrived!

[Ever since Yu Ling came to the Gu family, she had been talking about how her parents were busy and planned to come to meet Gu’s parents after a certain period of time.

That day had finally arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu had prepared early to meet their future daughter-in-law’s parents.

Upon hearing that the future in-laws

had arrived, the Gu family members rushed out to greet them.

However, after the parents from both sides met, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were extremely shocked. Even Yu Ling’s parents had a peculiar expression.

The atmosphere started to turn awkward, but Gu Ze was the first to react. He welcomed his future in-laws inside, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu quickly calmed down as well.

Both families dined together, but the table was oddly quiet. When Yu Ling’s father went out to take a call and her mother went to the restroom, Gu Ze took the opportunity to remind his parents that it was time to discuss the wedding date.

At this moment, Mrs. Gu suddenly slammed her cutlery onto the table, her eyes wide open in anger. “I don’t agree to this marriage!”

Her reaction was so intense that it stunned everyone present.

Gu Ze was also taken aback, not knowing what had happened and why his mother suddenly opposed the marriage, especially when she seemed to like Yu Ling very much.

Realizing that her reaction was too extreme, Mrs. Gu took a deep breath and tried to smooth things over. “You see, I think there’s no rush for our children to get married–”

Mrs. Gu hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Chen, who had rushed back home, casually interjected, “That’s even better. I also think that Yu Ling is not suitable for Big Brother.”

The expressions of everyone present, especially Mr. Gu, changed drastically.

And Gu Chen, while speaking, had already walked up to Yu Ling’s side. He put his arm around her shoulder, slightly bent down, and brought his face close to Yu Ling’s. In front of everyone, he said, “I think she should marry me.”

“Shut up!!”

But this time, it was Mr. Gu who was furious.

Gu Chen, however, showed no fear. On the contrary, he continued defiantly, “Yes, I’m not as outstanding as Big Brother. You all prioritize Big Brother and everything is always about him. What about me? I’m also your son. Why can’t I like Yu Ling? Why can’t I be with her? Mom just said that she doesn’t agree with Big Brother being with Yu Ling, so why can’t this person be me? Why–”

With a “smack,” Mr. Gu slapped Gu Chen across the face, cutting off his shameless words!

The scene fell deathly silent.

Suddenly, Gu Chen sneered, “So you won’t say it, huh? Fine, I’ll say it for you.”

Gu Chen looked at Gu Ze and said, “Do you know why Mom opposes your relationship with Yu Ling? Because you are–”

“Shut up!!”

But Mrs. Gu cut him off.

However, Gu Chen smiled slightly at his mother, then turned to Yu Ling’s nervous-looking father and said with a grin, revealing the long-held secret in the older generation’s hearts.

“You’re the son of her and your future father-in-law. But it’s okay, Dad treats you very well.” With that, Gu Chen’s smile became somewhat sinister as he took step by step toward Mr. Gu, who had always been composed and calm. Seeing his youngest son’s crazed expression at this moment, cracks appeared on his face.

Bending slightly, Gu Chen placed his hands on Mr. Gu’s shoulders. Like a demon whispering, he sneered into Mr. Gu’s ear, “Right, Dad?”

Gu Ze’s worldview was being constantly refreshed. He couldn’t accept this reality and angrily rebuked, “What do you mean?”

Gu Chen laughed audaciously, “You still don’t understand what I mean? Isn’t it clear enough? Yu Ling is our sister, oh no, only my biological sister, you see, in the end, Dad still sides with you in everything, even his genes won’t affect your love. What a great fatherly love.”

In just a few sentences, the whole scene was shocked…]
