    Chapter 156 They’re Both Amazing

    Shao Chengxi scooped Shu Lin up into his arms, and suddenly chuckled:

    “Baby, you’re really amazing, you could say, invincible.”

    Saying that, he pinched Shu Lin’s slightly chubby cheek, raising his eyebrows triumphantly, “Of course, I’m just as amazing.”

    Shu Lin wrapped his arms around his neck, muttering with a touch of petulance, “Hmph, don’t try to take credit for yourself. What’s so amazing about you? I’m clearly more amazing.”

    “I’m amazing too.”

    “I’m more amazing.”

    “It’s me.”

    “Hmph, it’s me.”

    The two childishly argued for a while, finally looking at the holographic image at the same time.

    Shu Lin nestled his head in Shao Chengxi’s arms, a smile on his lips, “Husband, it seems like it’s fate.”

    Shao Chengxi also smiled, “Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to be conflicted about. Let’s just let nature take its course.”

    Shu Lin looked up at him, nodding happily, “Yeah, let nature take its course.”

    For the foundation’s press conference, Shao Chengxi arranged for Shao Shiyan and Mu Zi from the Ministry of Health to attend.

    Shu Lin didn’t want to give up halfway. After the check-up, he didn’t feel any significant discomfort himself.

    He insisted on attending the birthday banquet that evening.

    Besides, for his first official appearance, it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t show up at his own birthday banquet.

    People would think he was being rude and arrogant.

    The Shao family only knew that the young couple hadn’t attended the press conference at the last minute because Shu Lin wasn’t feeling well.

    They didn’t know the specifics yet.

    Shao Chengxi didn’t tell them over the phone either, planning to give them a surprise.

    He protected Shu Lin as they entered the house, and the three elders who were home all looked at them.

    Shao Tingrui was drinking tea. Seeing Shu Lin, he immediately put down his teacup and asked:

    “What’s wrong, Xiao Lin? Where are you feeling unwell? What did the doctor say?”

    Shao Yuqin and Shao Bingheng also looked at him with concern.

    The other younger members of the family were still preparing for Shu Lin’s birthday banquet that evening.

    The scale of this birthday banquet was no less than Shao Chengxi’s twenty-eighth birthday banquet.

    Shao Chengxi looked at Shao Tingrui, cleared his throat, and tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, “Grandpa, there’s some news to announce.”

    Shu Lin blushed and added softly, “Yes, it’s… good news.”

    Shao Bingheng asked curiously, “What good news?”

    Shao Chengxi directly took out the holographic image and placed it on the coffee table:

    “Here, take a look for yourselves.”

    “Clang!” The jade fan in Shao Yuqin’s hand fell to the ground.

    Shao Tingrui’s teacup overturned, spilling tea on his clothes, but he didn’t even bother to wipe it off, “W-What?!””

    Shao Bingheng stood up abruptly, walked to the coffee table in great strides, looked at Shu Lin, his eyes wide, “Xiao Lin, is this real?!”

    Shu Lin nodded shyly:

    “Father, it’s true…”

    Shao Yuqin rushed over excitedly and hugged Shu Lin:

    “Oh, good child, you’ve really done us proud! Great, that’s wonderful!”

    “This is a gift from God.”

    “Indeed, what is destined will eventually be yours. What’s meant to be yours will always be yours.”

    “Good, good, good, this is really great.”

    The three elders urged Shao Chengxi to quickly take Shu Lin back to the bedroom to rest, holding the holographic image and looking at it over and over again.

    They couldn’t bear to put it down.

    Back in their bedroom, Shu Lin changed into loose and comfortable pajamas, and after cuddling with Shao Chengxi for a while, his bewildered and excited mood finally calmed down.

    After settling Shu Lin down to sleep, Shao Chengxi went to work.

    Since he didn’t host the press conference himself, there were some hot topics that required his timely decision-making and handling.

    With only Shu Lin alone in the bedroom, he lay in bed but couldn’t sleep at all.

    After tossing and turning in bed several times, he sat up, picked up his phone, and found Shu Jingcheng’s contact information.

    He had originally planned to tell his father this good news in person.

    But now, he couldn’t wait any longer.

    After the video call connected, seeing Shu Jingcheng, Shu Lin’s eyes inexplicably moistened.

    After he told Shu Jingcheng the good news, Shu Jingcheng was directly stunned.

    “Dad?” Shu Lin called out.

    Shu Jingcheng came back to his senses, looked directly at the phone screen, his eyes red:

    “My Xiao Lin is going to…”

    “It’s okay, Dad is happy, especially happy, really.”

    God knows how conflicted he felt three months ago, after Shu Lin called to ask for his opinion.

    He said that the decision was only up to Shu Lin and Shao Chengxi.

    But deep down, he still hoped that their decision would align with his expectations.

    As a result, his expectations were not met.

    He never expected that God would have such a wonderful surprise in store.

    This is great.

    Shu Jingcheng was so excited that he gave his precious son a lot of instructions and reminders.

    After hanging up the phone, Shu Lin let out a long breath, feeling relieved.

    Suddenly, he thought of something else.

    His wedding with Shao Chengxi was scheduled for September of this year. In that case, it might have to be canceled and rescheduled for another day.

    Plans really can’t keep up with changes.

    After a good nap in the afternoon, Shu Lin’s spirits were particularly high.

    In the evening, as planned, he attended his twenty-first birthday banquet in full dress.

    Under the crystal chandelier, Shu Lin was surrounded by the Shao family like a moon surrounded by stars.

    Shao Chengxi hardly left his side, and even the usually stern Shao Bingheng occasionally cast a concerned glance.

    The guests exchanged meaningful glances.

    In the Shao family, this young US-Class Omega was clearly more valued than they had imagined.

    “It seems the rumors are true,” the daughter of the Lin Group said softly to her companion, “Shu Lin’s status in the Shao family is really high.”

    “He’s a US-Class Omega,” the companion lowered her voice, “In front of him, your cousin, that S-Class Omega, pales in comparison. How could the Shao family not treasure him?”

    The Lin Group’s daughter was about to say something when she noticed Lin Zhengyang walking towards them, and quickly shut up, pulling her companion away.

    Shu Lin turned around by the champagne tower, saw Lin Zhengyang not far away, and gently tugged at Shao Chengxi. The two took the initiative to step forward and greet Lin Zhengyang.

    Shu Lin sincerely thanked him, “Minister Lin, thank you for today.”

    Conversations between smart people never need to be spelled out.

    Hearing this, Lin Zhengyang knew that his guess was correct, raised his glass and smiled lightly:

    “Mr. Shu, you’re too polite, it was just a small effort.”

    Shao Chengxi also expressed his gratitude to him, and in a few words, they reached a tacit agreement to keep it a secret.

    During the interlude when Shao Chengxi was called away by several military generals, Shu Lin couldn’t help but ask Lin Zhengyang:

    “Minister Lin, please forgive my curiosity, but how did you see it? Even I didn’t notice it myself.”
