Six forty in the morning.
Su Ziyu and Old Su were bringing breakfast out of the kitchen when Ning Xiaolan walked to the door of the second bedroom. "Qianfan, time for breakfast."
"Okay, I'll hang up the clothes and be right there."
Li Qianfan's voice came from the balcony of the second bedroom.
"Hanging clothes?"
Ning Xiaolan frowned and asked Su Ziyu, who had just put down her chopsticks, in a low voice, "In the morning, you're making Qianfan do laundry?"
"I didn't."
Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look."
After she finished speaking, she quickly walked into the second bedroom.
She saw Li Qianfan on the balcony, hanging up a freshly washed black camisole.
Bang.
Su Ziyu's heart trembled.
Li Qianfan looked back, his old face blushing.
His embarrassment made Su Ziyu feel relaxed.
Pretending to be reserved, she walked over slowly. "Boy, did you get it dirty?"
Li Qianfan gave a sheepish smile.
Su Ziyu's eyebrows shot up, and she whispered in his ear, "Does it work well?"
This question—
It was too embarrassing, and she really couldn't answer!
Su Ziyu asked again, "Next time, do you want more?"
Li Qianfan retreated, lowering his head.
Su Ziyu pressed on. "Next time, do you want my help?"
"Get away."
Li Qianfan pushed her away and quickly walked into the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Haha—
Su Ziyu threw her head back and laughed silently for a few seconds.
She felt like life was incredibly exciting.
Her act of wanting a divorce from her little husband last night was simply unspeakably "foolish"!
"He's younger than me and more shy. My little husband is truly exceptional," Su Ziyu murmured, her eyes growing brighter.
At the dining table.
As the family of four sat down, Ning Xiaolan said sternly, "Now, let's have a family meeting."
Su Ziyu and her father immediately sat up straight.
Li Qianfan quickly followed suit, listening attentively.
"I won't talk about what happened between Ziyu and Qianfan last night anymore."
"And I won't pursue who was right or wrong in this matter."
"But we cannot ignore the problems this incident has exposed." Ning Xiaolan's expression was serious.
Old Su and the others nodded.
"The biggest problem is that Su Ziyu cares too much about her pride!"
Ning Xiaolan looked at her daughter and her voice grew heavier. "You must always remember that you are five years older than Qianfan. From a family perspective, you are Qianfan's wife. You want to be a good wife like me."
At this point, Mother Lan glanced at Old Su.
Old Su immediately put on a fawning smile and nodded vigorously.
Ning Xiaolan continued, "When facing marital conflicts, you must first consider the problem from Qianfan's perspective."
Su Ziyu lowered her head. "Mom, you're right."
"From an age perspective," Ning Xiaolan continued, "you can act as Qianfan's older sister. An older sister should yield to her younger brother. Even if the younger brother does something wrong, you should primarily teach him patiently, rather than losing your temper and making impulsive decisions."
Decisions made in haste are wrong seventy to eighty percent of the time.
Only after calming down do people regret their actions.
Su Ziyu humbly accepted all of her mother's teachings.
"Su Ziyu, now you will formally apologize to Qianfan," Ning Xiaolan said earnestly.
Su Ziyu hesitated—
Li Qianfan quickly shook his head—
Ning Xiaolan's face darkened. "Hmm?"
Su Ziyu quickly stood up, placed her hands in front of her abdomen, and bowed ninety degrees to Li Qianfan. "Qianfan, I was wrong. Please forgive me for what I said to you in a fit of pique last night."
Li Qianfan was about to stand up—
Ning Xiaolan said, "Qianfan, you stay seated. She was wrong, and she should apologize to you."
Li Qianfan had no choice but to remain seated and said with a sheepish smile, "Ziyu, I forgive you."
"Thank you."
Su Ziyu thanked him sincerely before sitting down again.
"Qianfan, you also made mistakes," Ning Xiaolan changed the subject.
Li Qianfan quickly stood up and bowed. "Mom, please tell me."
"Even though you are younger and should be spoiled by Ziyu," Ning Xiaolan admitted, "when Ziyu was being unreasonable and left the hotel, you should have chased after her immediately. Even if she ignored you or even scolded you, you should have safely escorted her home and then called me and your father. We would have discussed how to resolve the issue together."
Before Li Qianfan could say anything, Ning Xiaolan raised her voice. "Leaving in a huff after an argument with your wife doesn't just make you an unqualified husband; it doesn't even make you a qualified man!"
Actually,
After Li Qianfan smoked 13 cigarettes in the hotel last night, he had wanted to go home.
But Mo Hongti had appeared.
He naturally wouldn't mention this and would only humbly accept Ning Xiaolan's criticism.
From this incident,
Li Qianfan also deeply realized that Mother Lan had certain principles on major issues.
She would not unconditionally dote on (or appease) Li Qianfan just because her daughter had finally gotten married, even if it was by chance.
"Alright, you sit down too."
After Ning Xiaolan asked Li Qianfan to sit, she continued, "The conflict between you two last night also exposed a problem."
This problem—
Was that neither of them was ready to accept the other.
Su Ziyu's setting of the adjustment period at 18 months was a well-thought-out decision.
Li Qianfan's ridiculous act of sending out a mass "distress" message in his nervousness last night further proved that he was still a big child at heart.
"You also need time for Ziyu to lead you in growth, so that you can eventually become a mature man, both mentally and physically," Ning Xiaolan asked Li Qianfan. "Do you agree with what I've said?"
Li Qianfan nodded.
Ning Xiaolan then asked her daughter, "Ziyu, what do you think?"
Su Ziyu immediately stated, "Completely correct. Mom, don't worry. I will take on the responsibility of helping Qianfan mature both mentally and physically."
Ning Xiaolan then asked, "Do you have a general plan?"
*This morning, I let him use what I wore. Does that count as one of the ways to help him mature mentally and physically?*
As Su Ziyu thought this, her face turned red.
"This is serious business, why are you blushing?" Ning Xiaolan frowned. "As someone with experience, I'll give you a few reasonable suggestions."
First—
Su Ziyu should give Li Qianfan some space.
Do not interfere with his freedom of association.
And do not look through his phone without his permission.
Men who have more social interactions than women will gradually become tired of family life if they are too strictly controlled by their wives.
"Let me give you an example."
Ning Xiaolan glanced at Old Su and said, "Do you really think I don't know that Old Su goes for foot massages three to five times a month? Or do you think I don't know where Jin Yueliang Foot Spa is, or whether Xiao Hong's massage techniques are up to par?"
Whoosh!
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Old Su's forehead.
"I know, but I always pretend not to know!" Ning Xiaolan said. "Men are creatures who don't dare to cheat but still wish for an exciting encounter. They also need to talk about their feelings with women other than their wives. This is determined by their male genes, and can be called their nature. But as long as they stick to the red line, it's not a mistake."
Second—
No matter how strong Su Ziyu's personality is,
She must learn to act coy with her husband at appropriate times.
Because her coquettishness can boost a man's confidence and make him love his wife more.
This is also why many girls who can punch a tiger to death can't even twist open a juice bottle cap in front of their boyfriends.
Finally—
"It's about clothing." Ning Xiaolan spoke eloquently. "When it's not for work or formal occasions, Ziyu should abandon her conservative dressing habits. While you're young, you should boldly showcase your unique charm and sexiness. This will also satisfy Qianfan's unspoken vanity and extraordinary confidence."
Golden advice—
Li Qianfan looked at Mother Lan with adoration in his eyes.
The "Mother of the Unbounded God of War" had never told him these things.
Ning Xiaolan gained a great sense of accomplishment from her son-in-law's admiring gaze.
She asked Old Su kindly, "Old Su, do you have anything to add? Say whatever you want, our family is very democratic."
Old Su's body immediately trembled—
Ning Xiaolan picked up her chopsticks. "Nothing? Then the meeting is adjourned! Let's eat."
Old Su—
After breakfast.
As Old Su was dutifully clearing the dishes, Ning Xiaolan said to Li Qianfan, "Qianfan, there's something very important you need to do."
Li Qianfan stood up. "Mom, please tell me."
"Pick a good date." Ning Xiaolan said, "I want to meet your mother-in-law and father-in-law."

Qianfan is being highly recommended. Shamelessly begging for five-star ratings and gifts, so he can go further!
