CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 9 THE MOTHER-IN-LAW LOOKS AT HER SON-IN-LAW PART 2

Couldn’t help it?

Lin Xiaoguai was first stunned, then she quickly realized what he meant. Her entire face flushed crimson with anger, and she took his hand from her face and bit it.

Shen Chi wasn’t annoyed; he just looked at her tenderly. Lin Xiaoguai quickly gave in under his doting gaze.

"Shen Chi, can you not be so shameless?" Lin Xiaoguai hugged his waist in defeat.

Hearing this, Shen Chi laughed, "Isn’t it only towards you that I’m shameless?"

He sounded way too righteous about it.

Lin Xiaoguai glared at him and didn’t argue with him anymore.

The summer afternoons were always so sleepy. She lay on Shen Chi’s lap and unknowingly fell asleep.

There was a smile in Shen Chi’s eyes as he carefully grabbed a blanket to cover her.

"Sir, madam, Miss Yaya is here!"

After some time, Mrs. Zhang’s voice rang in her ears. Lin Xiaoguai groggily opened her eyes.

"Awake now, go wash your face." Knowing she cared about her appearance in public, Shen Chi quickly urged her to freshen up.

As a result, when Wang Zhizheng and Yuan Minggang came in, carrying large and small bags, they saw Shen Chi alone sitting on the sofa, flipping through a stack of papers.

He looked very commanding, and even though Yuan Minggang was mentally prepared, he still felt somewhat intimidated.

Especially since the surroundings were unlike those of ordinary people’s homes, adding to his pressure.

—Although his girlfriend had mentioned her godparents’ home was extraordinary, he hadn’t expected it to be this extraordinary!

Wang Zhizheng appeared perfectly at ease as he put down the things and leaned towards Shen Chi to ask, "Godfather, what are you reading?"

"Your godmother’s new draft," Shen Chi responded, turning his head towards Yuan Minggang and said indifferently, "Sit."

Yuan Minggang felt chills and sat up straight.

"A new draft from godmother?" Wang Zhizheng leaned over, "Is it a novel, an essay, or current affairs commentary this time?"

"None of those, it’s a travelogue," Shen Chi handed over the manuscript to him, "She has compiled all the places she visited over the years, from unique cuisines and streets to various famous scenic spots."

Wang Zhizheng flipped through a few pages and then remembered the serious matter, asking, "By the way, where’s my godmother?"

"She’ll be out soon."

Before Shen Chi finished speaking, footsteps were heard.

"Is Yaya here?" After much deliberation, Lin Xiaoguai still chose to wear a simple yet polite home outfit and came out.

Seeing her, Yuan Minggang looked somewhat astonished. Lin Xiaoguai had already gotten used to such reactions over the years.

"Godmother, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Yuan Minggang, he works in statistics," Yaya approached holding Lin Xiaoguai’s arm.

"Hello, uncle and aunt," Yuan Minggang quickly stood up and bowed.

"Hello," Lin Xiaoguai smiled and said, "Sit down, no need to be nervous." She felt that a down-to-earth approach suited her better.

Although she could pull off a high-cold style too, this was Yaya’s future husband, and they would have to get along in the future. Could she really maintain a high-cold demeanor around him forever?

After sitting down, Lin Xiaoguai began to size up Yuan Minggang. He wasn’t as tall as she had expected, around 178 cm. Yaya wearing slightly higher heels would be taller than him. He had dark wheat-colored skin and was quite handsome. His eyes were sincere, and his demeanor was neither noble nor resolute, but Lin Xiaoguai knew this was the right man for Yaya.

Moreover... the tenderness in Yuan Minggang’s eyes when he looked at Yaya was what pleased her the most.

Naturally, Shen Chi could see what Lin Xiaoguai saw, and he asked Wang Zhizheng, "Bringing him to meet us, I assume you’ve made some plans?"

Wang Zhizheng nodded, looking sweetly at Yuan Minggang beside him, "We plan to get married."

Hearing this, Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai exchanged glances, then turned to Yuan Minggang and asked, "Where’s your hometown?"

"I’m from H city," Yuan Minggang responded.

H city?

Both Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai frowned—it was quite far from Shanghai.

"Godfather, godmother, although Minggang is from H city, we’ve already agreed to settle in Shanghai in the future," Wang Zhizheng quickly explained, seemingly noticing their concerns.

Lin Xiaoguai frowned, smiled at Yuan Minggang, and asked, "Have you discussed this with your parents?"

This would naturally be great news for Yaya’s parents, but what about Yuan Minggang’s parents... In this day and age, most are only children; how many would be willing to live so far from their son?

Yuan Minggang was initially stunned, then understanding her meaning, he responded, "Aunt, don’t worry, it’s not just for Xiaozheng that I decided to settle in Shanghai. Actually, my father has always worked in Shanghai, and my mother is a barefoot doctor locally, with them living apart all these years. They’ve always hoped I could develop in a big city, and it was with their support that I went to the Capital initially."

"Choosing to settle in Shanghai, though partly because of Xiaozheng, also fits with my own plans. Over the years, I’ve saved up some money, and my parents will also give me some, so buying a house in Shanghai might be tight, but I should manage the down payment. My father has always lived in rented houses in Shanghai, and after we get married, he could move in with us. And my mother is also two years away from retirement, after which she could join us."

He paused, then continued, "My grandmother is still alive, though her health is not good, and she might only have a couple of years left. Our house back home has been well renovated, and when we move, selling the old house should get us at least thirty to fifty thousand. This would also help us lessen the burden of the mortgage."

Hearing him honestly explain his family’s situation, Lin Xiaoguai was reassured.

The person was good, now it was time to see what his family was like. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote at Qidian.com by recommending and casting monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
