Cecilia Gu followed Charles Yin back to the Yin Manor.
As soon as Cecilia Gu got out of the car, someone immediately brought a thick cloak and draped it over her shoulders.
Looking at the weather, Cecilia Gu smiled and said, "Looks like the first snow of winter isn't far off."
Charles Yin smiled, holding Cecilia Gu's fingers indulgently. "Yeah. Do you like watching the snow? After you have the baby, I'll take you to see the ice and snow in the northeast."
"Sure!" Cecilia's eyes lit up, sparkling as she looked at Charles Yin. "You can't go back on your word, okay?"
"I wouldn't dare." Charles Yin dotingly tapped the tip of Cecilia's nose. "My little housekeeper."
Just those six simple words had already established Cecilia Gu's position in the Yin Family.
The Yin Family's servants, seeing how affectionate the young master and young mistress were, naturally couldn't help but beam with smiles.
Grandma Yin really does have foresight!
This young mistress truly is the perfect match for the young master!
The young master used to be strictly off-limits to outsiders!
Only when the young mistress was by his side did the young master seem like a normal person, not just some emperor.
Cecilia Gu's belly was getting bigger, and her movements had started to slow down, so everyone matched their pace to hers as they walked forward.
Everyone in the Yin Family was extremely nervous about the child in Cecilia Gu's belly.
Especially today, the hospital sent over a simulation video. Mrs. Yin saw the future prediction chart and was absolutely overjoyed.
Hearing that Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin had arrived at the door, she came out to greet them. "You finally made it! Come, sit with Grandma."
Mrs. Yin was more and more satisfied with Cecilia Gu every time she saw her.
The healthier the child in her belly grew, the happier Mrs. Yin became.
It seemed that Cecilia Gu's perfect health genes were being passed on to the baby.
The doctor even privately told Mrs. Yin that the baby's development was not just good—it was excellent.
Every single data point could be described as perfect.
After this child is born, they’ll be both smart and healthy.
All the best traits from Charles Yin and Cecilia Gu had gone to this child.
So when the simulation showed what the child would look like at eighteen, Mrs. Yin was simply over the moon.
"Grandma," Cecilia greeted her with a smile.
Mrs. Yin took Cecilia Gu by the hand and led her inside, leaving her own grandson behind without a second thought.
But Charles Yin didn't mind at all.
Mrs. Yin kept looking at Cecilia Gu's belly, more and more satisfied each time.
This child was the future hope of the Yin Family, carrying all their dreams for what was to come.
Cecilia glanced around but didn’t see Mrs. Yin, so she asked, "Where’s Mom?"
Mrs. Yin's smile faded a little. "Don't worry about her. She'll show up when it's time."
Charles Yin helped Cecilia Gu sit down and quietly took a seat beside her.
A servant quickly brought over tea.
Cecilia Gu picked up the teacup, gently smelled it, and after taking a sip, immediately praised, "Wow, this tea tastes great! I've never had it before!"
Charles Yin reached out and took Cecilia's teacup, not minding at all as he drank from it. He nodded and said, "Is this the tea Uncle brought back from South Africa?"
The servants around them watched in shock as Charles Yin drank from Cecilia's cup so naturally—his usual OCD seemed to vanish in an instant.
Hmm, the young master really does have OCD.
He only touches things that belong to the young mistress.
Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin acted completely normal, showing they'd long gotten used to it.
"At least you still remember your uncle," Mrs. Yin's voice came from the doorway as a servant pushed her into the room.
Cecilia Gu stood up. "Mom."
"Sit down—you're the big hero of the Yin Family now. I wouldn't dare trouble you to greet me." Mrs. Yin's tone was still a bit stiff.
Cecilia Gu looked a little helpless.
Charles Yin frowned slightly. "Mom..."
"Alright, alright, I know you're always on her side." Mrs. Yin waved her hand, a little exasperated. "Cecilia Gu is the big hero of the Yin Family, right? Don't worry, I won't make things hard for your wife. I know what's important. You two are happy together, and that's no problem for me."
That's just the kind of person Mrs. Yin was.
Dominant, but straightforward.
She wore her likes and dislikes on her face, never bothering to hide them.
It made sense—she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, always pampered since childhood.
At home, her father and brothers doted on her. After marrying in, she became the mistress of the house, so naturally she never had to care about anyone else's opinion.
It was precisely because of her strong personality that she pushed Charles Yin's father, Yin Hao, toward May Yan. And it was also her strength that allowed her to do something as drastic as going down with Yin Hao.
Charles Yin finally relaxed a little after hearing his mother say that.
Cecilia Gu, on the other hand, had no special expression on her face.
After all, her mother-in-law hadn't liked her from the start—if she suddenly got friendly now, Cecilia would probably be terrified.
"In a few days, come with me to visit my family. I haven't had time to go home since I got back. After all these years, it's time for a visit." Mrs. Yin said to Cecilia, "Since I've accepted you as Charles's wife, you should go to the Jiang Family with me."
Charles Yin immediately turned to Cecilia and said, "Don't worry, just go. With Mom there, no one will give you a hard time."
Taking Cecilia Gu to the Jiang Family for a family visit would further cement her status.
As long as Mrs. Yin did this, Cecilia Gu's position would be set in stone.
Cecilia understood this, so she smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll do as Mom says."
Honestly, Charles Yin's move was ruthless.
If he made a move, it hit right at the heart.
With five percent of Yin Family's shares in her hands, even if others disliked Cecilia Gu, they'd have to accept and protect her!
Even though Mrs. Yin knew her son was scheming, she was helpless to do anything about it!
She was never one to fuss over trivial matters.
As the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, her perspective was never that narrow.
So what if she didn't like Cecilia Gu?
She would never allow Charles Yin's assets to be divided!
So she could only do her best to protect Cecilia Gu and make sure their marriage stayed strong.
After a while, Ethan Yin swaggered in with Sylvia Ran.
"Grandma." Ethan Yin boldly held Sylvia Ran's hand, giving Charles Yin a provocative look.
