What should I do? Yin Shixiu... you’re not into lolis, are you? Why do you find her so cute?
"Hey, but uncle... Mom and you were talking inside for so long, what were you talking about?"
"Weren’t you listening?"
"I only heard her saying she wanted to kill your whole family, didn’t hear anything else."
Kill his whole family?!
"You have to be good to , got it? Don’t do anything to let down! Got it?!"
"Haha..."
"Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at!"
"Nothing, nothing... let’s go, let’s tidy up our room."
In the evening, Su’s father and his family stayed over, while Su Jianyi and his wife left around 2 p.m.
Anyway, Grandpa Su was happy for a long ti because, no matter how unfilial, he’s still his son.
It’s just Grandpa Su wasn’t in such a good mood, especially after hearing what Su Jianyi advised Grandpa Su in the afternoon...
Sothing like if soone visits, be sure to speak well, otherwise it might affect his future or sothing...
These words reached Su’s mother’s ears by evening.
She snorted, "I wondered why he was so unwilling, and still had to co back this ti... Looks like he’s going to get promoted..."
Su Chengji made the bed, brewed a cup of grapefruit tea for his wife, and said, "Well, he’s in a higher position!"
"Being in a higher position ans you can look down on people? I didn’t ntion Shixiu’s status. If I had, I would love to see what expression he’d have with his fake serious face! Bragging in front of Guan Yu, overestimating oneself!"
"Wife..."
"What?"
"Are you quite satisfied with Xiao Yin too?"
"..." Su’s mother saw his "I knew it all along" look, raised her eyebrows, "He’s still in the observation period."
Su’s father wisely didn’t expose Su’s mother anymore, hugged her, "Oh... Now that Xiao ng is married, why does my heart feel so empty?"
"Can you not be so lodramatic?"
"Wife... why don’t we have another one?"
"Ah—"
Grandma Su cut so fruit, and just as Su Xiaong was about to bring so to her parents, she was scared three feet back by that scream at the door!
Like a startled rabbit, she widened her eyes, cautiously staring at the door for a while, and then thinking it over, still felt unsafe, and quietly withdrew.
The next day, they returned to Chengdu City.
After the eighth day, Yin Shixiu went to the tech subsidiary nad Sharp under the Yin Family every day.
The company is developing a ride-hailing app to rival Uber in the United States, hoping to launch in April, with Chengdu as the test site.
He didn’t really rest until the thirteenth.
At night, Su Xiaong started packing early.
When Yin Shixiu ca back, he saw the father and daughter hugging each other and crying!
"Dad... you must take good care of yourself, okay? Stop saying the wrong things, okay? Be smart, okay?"
"Okay, okay... I’ll listen to my baby! Woo woo..."
"Dad... rember to often send so tasty snacks, okay? I love cold-eat rabbit, rember to send it by the kilogram, not by the gram... okay? Woo woo..."
"Okay, okay! Dad will buy a rabbit and make it himself for you, then send it over, okay?"
"Woo woo... no, what you make isn’t as tasty as the bought ones... woo woo..."
"But the bought ones are expensive..."
"Expensive but tasty... woo woo..."
"Then, then, talk to your mom... let her give more pocket money every month... woo woo..."
"Ah... oh, okay..." Su Xiaong blinked her teary eyes, pitifully turned her head, "Mom... you have to rember to give dad more pocket—mhm..."
Before she finished, seeing her mom’s one eyebrow raised and arms crossed, with a "I’ll just watch you act all pretentious" expression, she was scared to turn back quietly, "Dad, you’d better ask yourself... I also dare not..."
"Ah?"
Su Xiaong wiped her tears, hugged her dad, and whispered sympathetically in his ear, "Dad, I tried my best, find a way yourself..."
"Ah... Xiao ng, you can’t just leave like this..."
"If you keep howling, you’ll all be kicked out!"
Su’s mother sternly stopped them!
Su Xiaong imdiately quieted down, seeing Yin Shixiu had returned, quickly ran over, "Uncle, you’re back! Have you eaten? I’ll heat up so food for you!"
Su’s father glanced at Su’s mother, "I just can’t bear to part with my daughter a bit..."
Yin Shixiu rubbed his forehead, this pair of amusing father and daughter...
On the morning of the fourteenth, Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu left Chengdu.
On the plane, Xiaong secretly wiped a tear, Yin Shixiu accidentally saw, and his heart ached.
He silently pulled her into his embrace, "Silly girl, whenever you want to co back, I’ll often bring you back. This is not so unreachable place."
"...Mm."
Su Xiaong nodded.
When they got off the plane, it was 11 a.m. Beijing ti.
The two of them had lunch in the city, and after the Civil Affairs Bureau opened in the afternoon, they went to get their marriage certificate.
Su Xiaong hadn’t even had ti to marvel when Yin Shixiu took her hand and got into a car.
"Let’s go, co ho with ."
In the car, Su Xiaong felt so nervous, several blockbuster movies had already played out in her mind!
Yin Shixiu took her hand, "After dinner, let’s go to the mall and pick out a birthday gift, okay?"
Su Xiaong looked at him, frowning, "Uncle, don’t ntion this now, I’m so nervous, what should I do?"
"Brides usually get nervous eting their in-laws."
"Really?"
Su Xiaong was a bit skeptical, "Even if the bride is not welcod by her in-laws at all?"
"They don’t dislike you, they actually think you’re great."
Su Xiaong gave him a "do you think I’m an idiot" look.
Yin Shixiu wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "You’re great, it’s just that their expectations for a daughter-in-law are too high. But everyone has their own criteria, so you don’t have to change yourself to please anyone. Just believe that you’re good enough as you are."
Su Xiaong had to admit that during this period, Uncle... said sothing that sounded quite human.
She patted her belly, sighed slightly, "Alright, it’s sothing I have to face after all!"
Yin Shixiu placed his hand over hers, gently rubbed her belly in circles twice.
"Don’t worry, no one will make things hard for you, I promise."
Su Xiaong mumbled, "What’s the use of your promise..."
Yin Shixiu saw that even though she was trying to stay calm, she still looked anxious and uneasy, feeling both worried and pleased inside...
At least, she cared a lot.
The car stopped at the gates of the Yin Mansion.
Yin Shixiu held Su Xiaong’s hand as they got out of the car. Her palms were sweaty and cold from the chill in the air.
"Wow..."
Su Xiaong looked at the door in front of them, not exactly grand, but very dignified.
"Fourth Young Master, you’re back!"
The gatekeeper, a middle-aged man, greeted Yin Shixiu quickly as he saw him.
Yin Shixiu nodded.
"Are you heading to the main hall or back to your own Jun Garden?"
"To the main hall of the main residence."
"Alright."
The gatekeeper quickly went into the security room and made a phone call. Shortly after, an electric cart arrived.
Yin Shixiu helped Su Xiaong up onto it and sat beside her, noticing her wide-eyed stare...
He covered her eyes playfully with a smile.
"Uncle... really? Do we need to use an electric cart?"
"It’s still cold, and sitting in the cart is warr."
As Yin Shixiu said this, Su Xiaong was sowhat skeptical, and along the way saw many ancient-looking trees, clearly very old.
Rather than a mansion, this place seed more like a garden.
Luckily, this garden wasn’t overly luxurious, mostly consisting of grass and trees, but surely well-maintained, as the paths were clean except for a few scattered fallen leaves.
"This whole area is... your ho?"
Su Xiaong gulped and looked at Yin Shixiu, realizing now... this man seed to be truly extraordinary, beyond anything she could have imagined.
"It’s all state land, but your father-in-law is getting on in years and needs a good environnt to recuperate, so the state has assigned this area to the Yin Family. If the state ever wants it back, we’ll have to return it imdiately."
"...Oh."
State-assigned.
Su Xiaong sohow felt the weight of those four words.
"Then... if the state takes it back, you wouldn’t have a place to live?"
Yin Shixiu patted her head patiently, "The garden is the state’s, but the various residences are the Yin Family’s properties. Even if this place is reclaid and opened to the public, our properties won’t be affected."
Su Xiaong seed to half-understand but nodded anyway.
"We’re heading to the main residence now, which is where the family head lives."
Saying this, the electric cart had already stopped at the main residence entrance.
Su Xiaong got off and looked at the main entrance, finally letting out a small sigh of relief; fortunately, the brown door was quite ordinary.
No two rows of servants dressed as maids stood outside the door, nor were there two golden columns by the door.
When Yin Shixiu knocked, Su Xiaong’s heart was already in her throat.
The door opened to reveal a maid, looking to be under thirty, nad Ah Su.
"Fourth Young Master!"
Yin Shixiu nodded.
"The master and madam are in a room on the second floor; I’ll go call them."
"Alright."
Su Xiaong changed her shoes and quickly caught up to Yin Shixiu, who had already taken a couple of steps ahead, grabbing the corner of his clothes.
The living room was large, looking just like the scholarly mansions from the period of the Republic in TV dramas, with a set of wooden furniture in the middle. Judging by the color, it might be mahogany.
Aside from Ah Su, who went upstairs to call for people, there were two servants busy in the kitchen.
"Fourth Young Master, welco back."
A warm and earnest voice ca from the staircase, and a well-dressed elderly man in his sixties with gray hair descended.
"This is Housekeeper Lin, who’s been with the Yin Family for many decades."
"Hello, Housekeeper Lin."
Su Xiaong smiled and greeted him.
"So the Fourth Young Master has brought his girlfriend back?"
Yin Shixiu nodded, "Housekeeper Lin, this is Su Xiaong."
"Hello, Miss Su."
Housekeeper Lin gave a slight bow, which left Su Xiaong dazed, and she quickly bent over too!
Seeing her action, Housekeeper Lin paused, then glanced at Yin Shixiu and shared a knowing smile.
At that mont, Su Xiaong truly felt like she was going to die of embarrassnt.
