Chapter 744: 746, Prosperous Wedding (Part 1)

Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly before turning to look at Mo Qingyi. "Qingyi, have you really thought this through? You’ve known Duanmu for less than 24 hours. Are you sure you want to get engaged to him now?"

"I’ve thought it through," Mo Qingyi said resolutely. "Brother, you and Jin didn’t even meet before getting engaged! I’ve known Duanmu Zhe for so many years. I like him, and I’m going to marry him."

At this, Mo Zhixuan had no further argument. He said seriously, "Like a fish feeling the warmth and cold of the water, some things, as long as you’re clear in your own heart, that’s enough."

"Hmm," Mo Qingyi nodded in agreement.

She understood what Mo Zhixuan meant.

Seeing this, the Mo family’s elder matriarch could not object further. It wouldn’t do to interfere with young love, so she said to Duanmu Zhe, "How about this, have your parents come over in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Zhe knew he had a chance and quickly nodded, "Yes, Aunt Mo, I understand."

After dinner, Mo Zhixuan took Chu Jin and Zhao Yan back to the Chu family’s home.

Mo Zhixuan actually wanted Chu Jin to stay overnight.

However, there were still three days left until the wedding.

In the Superpower World, there’s a custom that the bride and groom must not see each other three days before the wedding.

Moreover, when the bridegroom is the leader of the Three Realms,

The rules must be followed.

Mo Zhixuan parked the car steadily beside the gate of the Chu family’s house.

Chu Xiu was already waiting at the door.

"Little aunt, sister, brother-in-law," Chu Xiu walked over, very sensibly supporting Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Xiu, you don’t need to support me. I have hands and feet; I can walk by myself. You should go help Jin."

"Okay." Knowing that Chu Jin was pregnant, Chu Xiu immediately turned around to support Chu Jin’s arm.

Chu Jin: "..." As if she had no hands or feet.

After bringing Chu Jin and Zhao Yan back to the house, Mo Zhixuan left. The wedding was now on a countdown, and there were many things he needed to attend to.

Now that his status had changed, naturally, the wedding could not be handled carelessly.

This was no longer just a wedding between two people.

This grand wedding was bound to shake all three realms.

Chu Xiu helped Chu Jin into the house, and out of curiosity, he said, "Sis, will I really be an uncle?" Chu Xiu was quite happy about the prospect of becoming an elder relative.

For Chu Xiu, this was also a rite of passage.

"Of course, it’s true," Chu Jin nodded and added, "And it’s not just one baby, but twins."

Chu Xiu knew Chu Jin was pregnant, but not that she was expecting twins.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu’s eyes lit up. He was excited. "Oh my God! Really? Sis, you’re carrying twins?" The phenomenon of twins was something he had only heard about, and this was the first time it was happening so close to him.

At his school, there was a pair of twin sisters who always wore identical clothes, and they looked so alike that people envied them when they walked down the street.

Just thinking about the future when he’d have two twin nieces or nephews made Chu Xiu very happy.

Chu Jin smiled tenderly. "Of course, it’s true."

"Sis, have you thought of names for Bao Bao yet?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Not yet," Chu Jin shook her head. "There’s no rush for that. Let’s wait until the children are born."

Mo Zhixuan had indeed come up with nicknames for the little ones.

However, his method of naming was hardly commendable.

Chu Jin, who was useless at picking names, looked towards Zhao Yan and suggested, "Mom, what do you think about the naming? How about you and Aunt Mo each name one?"

Zhao Yan laughed and shook her head. "I’m not good at that sort of thing. It’s better if the other mother-in-law handles it, or perhaps, I’ll consult with her some other day."

Chu Jin nodded slightly. "That works."

After all, the two little ones still had ten months to go before they would arrive. There was no need to rush the naming.

After escorting Chu Jin to her room, Zhao Yan pondered the words in her heart and then said, "Jin, you know the situation of our family. There’s something I want to talk to you about. Do you think you could discuss it with Zhixuan?"

Chu Jin helped Zhao Yan sit down at the table and poured her a glass of water, "What is it, Mom? Just speak directly."

This matter was very important for Zhao Yan.

For Chu Jin and the Mo family, it might be a bit troubling.

Zhao Yan sighed, "Jin, your dad passed away early, and you’re my only daughter... If you were to marry off, the bloodline of your dad’s family would be severed."

As the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water, it’s not a heartless saying but rather, a simple truth.

A woman follows her husband upon marriage.

The children she bears will also take the husband’s family name. At first, she might still keep in touch with her maternal family, but after three generations, the blood relation will gradually fade, turning the closest kin into distant relatives, and eventually, into total strangers.

It’s like not knowing the daughter of your mother’s cousin.

Hearing this, Chu Jin frowned slightly and then said, "Mom, what are you talking about? There’s still Xiu, and besides, even if I do get married, the blood of the Chu family still flows in my veins, and the same goes for the children. How can you say the bloodline would be severed!"

"It’s not the same," Zhao Yan clutched Chu Jin’s hand, "Jin, it’s not the same. If the child were to take the Mo surname, they wouldn’t be able to enter our Chu family’s ancestral hall."

Actually, Zhao Yan’s goal was simple—to leave a descendant for the Chu family.

Although Chu Xiu was also of Chu family blood, he was not Chu Liyan’s child, and it meant something different.

Chu Jin also knew there was an underlying meaning in Zhao Yan’s words. She furrowed her brow and spoke softly, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"Jin, I have no other intentions," Zhao Yan sighed. "I just want to leave a descendant for your father’s line. I hope you can discuss it with Zhixuan. Since you are carrying twins, see if you can keep one child with your surname, the surname Chu. In the future, if she has children, I hope she can continue this tradition generation after generation."

Zhao Yan continued, "Mom isn’t greedy, and Mom doesn’t want a grandson from the Mo family. A granddaughter will do..." This meant that Chu Jin’s future daughter’s daughters should also carry the surname Chu.

The only idea Zhao Yan could think of to continue Chu Liyan’s lineage was this, though Chu Jin was not Chu Liyan’s biological child, the couple had long regarded her as their own.

When Chu Jin had just been brought over, she was only a few months old.

Unfortunately, the Superpower World couldn’t accommodate her.

Chu Jin understood Zhao Yan’s feelings, but she needed to discuss this with Mo Zhixuan. Given the long history of China mainland, apart from exceptional families, children generally take their father’s surname.

It’s rare for children to take their mother’s surname.

However, Zhao Yan’s request wasn’t too excessive, after all, she was her only daughter.

Although she was not Chu Liyan’s biological daughter.

But, if not for Chu Liyan and Zhao Yan, she would have died in the Superpower World long ago.

Chu Jin patted Zhao Yan’s hand, "Mom, don’t worry, I will discuss this with Mo Zhixuan. We’ll see what he says. If he dares to disagree, then the marriage won’t happen."

Considering Mo Zhixuan’s nature he should agree. Since she is the one giving birth, it’s quite normal to keep a child with her surname.

It’s not like all of them will take her surname.

"You can’t speak like that! The marriage still has to happen," Zhao Yan immediately said, "If Zhixuan really disagrees, then let it be. We can’t sacrifice your happiness over this."

Zhao Yan was a very sensible person.

"Don’t worry, Mom," Chu Jin, holding Zhao Yan’s hand, continued, "I understand Mo Zhixuan’s character. There won’t be any issues on his part."

"Good," Zhao Yan nodded, "Jin, with your words, I am reassured. I also believe there shouldn’t be a problem with Zhixuan, but who knows about his mother..."

It was evident that the old Mrs. Mo placed great importance on lineage and highly valued Chu Jin’s pregnancy.

For the elderly, this might be hard to accept.

Why can’t they bear the Mo surname if they are of the Mo bloodline?

Zhao Yan took a sip of water and continued, "Jin, don’t get into any disputes with Zhixuan’s mother. If it doesn’t work out, then let it go; we shouldn’t force anyone against their will. As you said, Xiu is also of our Chu family’s bloodline."

"Yes," Chu Jin nodded, "Mom, I understand. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

"Then you rest well. I’m going downstairs," Zhao Yan turned and went downstairs.

Chu Jin watched Zhao Yan’s departing figure and only after a long while did she return her gaze, then took out her phone from her pocket. She had just dialed a string of numbers when she put the phone back. This matter was better discussed in person than over the phone.

The next evening.

Chu Jin had just lain down on the bed when a figure climbed in through the window.

Because it was the period leading up to their wedding and the couple was forbidden from seeing each other, Mo Zhixuan had no choice but to resort to this.
