Surprise!!! I’ve saved the best for last:P This post should satisfy those who feel that the drama is incomplete and want more. This is really the last  tidbit in the novel.  The only thing I’ve not translated is the joint epilogues with Just One Smile is Very Alluring and they are all about online gaming and interactions.

Come & Eat, Shan Shan and Just One Smile is Very Alluring, both novels have been reprinted with new covers and released a week ago with more freebies compared to the first edition. Those freebies look really good so I am contemplating if I should get them but I can’t  read so I’ve to think twice about it. This cover picture is one of the free poster. Can you guess who are the 4 kids in the picture and the 2 men in the basketball court? Gu Man did complain that the 2 men were drawn too small for anyone to take notice of them.

Interesting Tidbits on Life After Marriage – Part 5 (translated by lidge and edited by peanuts)

The Worries Of Future Mother-In-Law Shan Shan

The person in charge of Beijing Zhi Yi Technologies called Mr. Xiao who is the business partner of a technology company under Feng Teng Conglomerate and his wife will be passing by S City, so they specially pay a visit to Feng Teng.

Ever since Shan Shan finds out that the chief game designer of  Dreams of JiangHu II will drop by her house, she has been waiting in excitement. She asks Feng Teng out of curiosity: “Have you seen Mr. Xiao, I’ve heard he’s very handsome?”

Feng Teng glares at her, “I’ve met him but I don’t remember much. His wife is very pretty though.”

He fails to make Shan Shan jealous for even a little bit. Instead, she cries out “oh oh”. Shan Shan’s eyes are shining even brighter: “Really? What a perfect couple!”

As she speaks, she looks outside anxiously, “Why aren’t they here yet?”

At 1pm, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao arrive right on time, Mr. Xiao is truly handsome and elegant with an unmatched demeanor. Mrs. Xiao is truly beyond beautiful with a dazzling radiance. Together the couple is like the sun and the moon complementing each other’s brilliance, shining brightly.

However!

That is not the main point!

The main point is that Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao each holds a little boy!

Oh oh oh, how can two such adorable boys exist in the world! Shan Shan’s eyes are fixated on the kids. Her eyes are unable to move to Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, no matter how remarkable they look.

The older boy takes the initiative to introduce himself to her in a childish voice: “Hello auntie, I’m Cong Cong.”

Shan Shan is flattered and squats down: “Hi, Cong Cong.”

Cong Cong nods his head. With a serious face, he points to the little baby in Mr. Xiao’s arms: “That’s my baby brother, Yue Yue!”

The baby brother Yue Yue who is in Mr. Xiao’s arms, doesn’t have much expression on his pretty little face. He looks lazily at Shan Shan, then turns away arrogantly, showing off his tender small bottom…..

Mrs. Xiao is embarrassed and says: “Yue Yue is a bit shy.”

That is not shy, that is obviously arrogance, but not a problem! The meaty round bottom is very cute!

“It’s all right, it’s all right.” Shan Shan waves her hands repeatedly.

---

After exchanging conventional greetings, the two men begin to talk business. Shan Shan entertains Mrs. Xiao in the garden by drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. Of course, the most important thing is to look after the two adorable little boys…..

The chef brings out snacks that children usually like. Wang Bo mysteriously finds a lot of toys from somewhere. Shan Shan holds the tender baby Yue Yue in her arm. She gazes at the fair big brother Cong Cong. Suddenly, she feels life is too perfect.

However, this perfect life can’t last long, as after more than two hours, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao say their good-byes. Shan Shan reluctantly walks with them all the way to the gate: “The next time, you must bring Cong Cong and Yue Yue to visit us again.”

When their car disappears from view, Shan Shan has no choice but to revert her gaze. She looks in a daze for a while then runs back into the house in excitement.

“Feng Teng, Feng Teng, if we have a daughter we can marry her off to Cong Cong or Yue Yue…… But who do you think is better?”

Shan Shan finds it hard to choose. Cong Cong is talented and cute. Yue Yue might be arrogant but is very handsome. It is too difficult to choose. Oh no, Shan Shan’s daughter is not even born yet but so troublesome already…..

Unexpectedly, Feng Teng refuses right away: “No way.”

Shan Shan is annoyed: “Why not?”

Feng Teng snorts: “My daughter will not be married off to someone because her husband has to live with us.”

---

On the plane, Mrs. Xiao, who has always been in excellent health, suddenly sneezes and wonders: “Is someone talking about me?”

Mr. Xiao who is holding the newspapers, casually replies: “Did you catch a cold? Last night, on the balcony……”

He does not get to finish talking as Mrs. Xiao blushes and stuffs a biscuit into his mouth……

---

At the Feng household……

Shan Shan opens her mouth, then closes it. The mind of a capitalist is truly different from the average person.  “…..Fine, our son-in-law living with us is a good idea, but which boy will do that? “

Why don’t we have two daughters?” Feng Teng asks.

“There may be a little problem with the technique……” Shan Shan says without thinking, then suddenly, she snaps out of it. Wait a minute, what did Big Boss say?

Shan Shan jumps up in excitement, “Finally, you want to have a baby!!!”

Feng Teng’s face darkens: “You’re the one having the baby!”

---

Of course, she will have the baby!

Shan Shan excitedly prepares for her pregnancy…..

First, needs to get rid of a certain something in the house! At least, it won’t be used for one year!  Do not throw, do not know. Now that she is throwing them away, she is startled to find out there are so many = =

Then, it is time to calculate the ovulation period……

Furthermore, should she also pay attention to what she eats?

Finally, Shan Shan gathers a thick stack of information and also photostats a copy for Feng Teng. As a result, President Feng tosses everything away without even one glance.

Shan Shan protests: “You need to also read it, as there is information about what a prospective father should pay attention to.”

“No need this troublesome, we just need to try hard a few more times.”

……..

After trying over and over, Shan Shan is drained of energy. She says weakly: “Why do I feel that nowadays you……”

Feng Teng says calmly: “Don’t you want to give birth to twins? This means we have to make double the effort…….”

Shan Shan wants to cry.

---

Shan Shan quickly becomes pregnant, this time is for certain. Big Boss’s capability and hard work cannot be taken lightly!…..

However——-

After the first three months, the first ultrasound shows it really is twins! Everyone in the Feng family is elated! Shan Shan truly worships her Big Boss! Two more months later, an important business partner from U.S., suddenly flies in to pay Feng Teng a visit, so Feng Yue accompanies Shan Shan to go for an ultrasound and discovers the twins are a boy and a girl!

Feng Yue is thrilled and immediately takes out her mobile phone to give to Shan Shan: “Hurry, tell my big brother.”

---

In the meeting room, Feng Teng puts away the mobile phone. His partner looks at him and asks smilingly: “It appears there is good news?”

Feng Teng smiles: “Yes, I recently obtained double ‘diversified’ profits from an investment.”

The partner immediately congratulates and praises him. Feng Teng is modest by saying: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I invested a lot of energy, it’s not as if I didn’t have to do anything.”

Thinking back of President Feng’s great efforts previously, he really did invest a lot of energy……

---

On this end, Feng Teng and the business partner continue to talk about the mysterious investment. Due to ‘commercial confidentiality’ reason, specifically what type of investment cannot be revealed, cannot be revealed……

Over at the hospital, after feeling happy, the pregnant Shan Shan is worried again…..

If the twins are a boy and a girl, then there is only one girl available. Cong Cong and Yue Yue, who to marry her off to? Oh no, that is incorrect, who is more appropriate to stay with them?
