Due to the peculiarity and confidentiality of her job, the marriage they agreed on immediately after graduation didn't happen. However, there were always countermeasures and policies–something Zhuo Xiao Xuan was beyond familiar with–one can put into place. 

Also because of her unique job, Zhuo Xiao Xuan appeared to be a normal citizen on the surface. Hence, the Marriage Registration Office at the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not know she was the country's secret agent. After bringing her passport with Yin Xu Dong's to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they spent nine bucks getting their cert.

By the time Zhuo lao ye'zi discovered that Zhuo Xiao Xuan's documents he had crafted kept in the save disappeared into thin air, Zhuo Xiao Xuan was already on the way home with Yin Xu Dong to meet his parents.

His parents were completely flabbergasted with regards to the Yin family's new daughter-in-law. In the end, Papa Yin settled first and had his wife bring their brand new daughter-in-law back into the house, while he hooked an arm around his son, "Son, let's talk."

"Dad, you don't need to say anything; the rice's cooked*." It was impossible for him to leave Xuan Xuan, they've already gotten married after all, he's not going to divorce her! 

* 生米煮成熟饭 = the rice's been cooked; what's been done cannot be undone; (often) used to hint that they the birds and the bees had happened and there might even be a bun in the oven.

Papa Yin faltered, this... there's already a bun in the oven?! He was going to be a grandpa! Papa Yin was so shocked from the news his head spun for a moment. Though it's good news he was going to be a grandpa–he was definitely glad–but the bomb his son just dropped was a little too unexpected!

Papa Yin later went to talk with Mama Yin in the room. By the time they returned to the living room, the gazes they gave Zhuo Xiao Xuan, and especially at her stomach, was entirely different; it made Zhuo Xiao Xuan extremely ill at ease.

"Wife, go out and get some nourishing food to make a soup or something." Papa Yin happily instructed Mama Yin.

"A'ight! Son... daughter, wait for me hah!" Mama Yin immediately rushed to the market with her grocery bag.

Yin Xu Dong and Zhuo Xiao Xuan sat staring at each other. 

Zhuo Xiao Xuan's phone suddenly rang. The moment she picked it up, Zhuo lao ye'zi's thunderous voice almost burst her eardrums, "Zhuo Xiao Xuan! Get your ass back here immediately!"

Zhuo Xiao Xuan moved the phone away from her ear, before saying slowly: "I'm not returning to the Zhuo Mansion in the future; you can do whatever you want with the things in my room. Oh, and, I'll send you (polite) the wedding invite in two days. You can come if you want. That's it, I'm hanging up." After that, she hung up, rejecting Zhuo lao ye'zi's high-decibel bellows from shattering her ears.

Papa Yin and Mama Yin felt that they had to get the wedding over with before her stomach showed, so they quickly started the wedding preparations at the couple's silent agreement.

The newly-weds wholly entrusted their wedding prep to Papa and Mama Yin. As for matters regarding their gowns, Zhuo Xiao Xuan insisted for it to be oriental. Though Yin Xu Dong really wanted to see how Zhuo Xiao Xuan would look in a wedding gown, as a twenty-fourth-century husband and a wife-con in the socialist society, he shall of course obey all of his waifu's demands; his waifu's words was the law!

When Papa and Mama Yin finally found time off after knocking out all the arrangements, they realised they still had not met their in-laws! Upon asking their son, they found out that their daughter-in-law didn't have parents. At that, they felt their heart going out for their daughter-in-law.
