At this mont, Qin Yuzhen had already put on a blue jumpsuit, which was very form-fitting and exquisitely crafted. Wearing it made her look as if she had shed a decade. She looked in the mirror with a face full of joy and murmured, "Wanxi, this dress is really beautiful and of great quality. It must not be cheap."
Ning Wanxi said, "It's not expensive, just over 300 yuan."
"300 yuan, that's really too expensive," Qin Yuzhen took a deep breath and said, "Next ti, don't buy such expensive things."
Luo Chao felt incredibly embarrassed, over 300? It's more like 10 tis that. Ning Wanxi had specifically chosen two expensive foreign brand clothes, so his mom didn't know how much they really cost.
Ning Wanxi smiled sweetly, "Auntie, it's our first eting, and I didn't know what to get you. I heard from Luo Chao that you don't like using costics, so I bought two pieces of clothing. I hope you like them."
"Like? I love them," Qin Yuzhen chuckled, her face beaming with a smile.
Ning Wanxi gently said, "That's good!"
"Oh dear, I forgot I need to make lunch. You all must be hungry. I'll go get started," Qin Yuzhen said loudly as she noticed the wall clock approaching 12 PM, quickly heading into the kitchen.
Lu Feng got up as well and said, "Xiao Xuan, chat with Wanxi. I'll go water the flowers outside."
After the elders left, Luo Chao imdiately plopped down next to Ning Wanxi with a suspicious look and said, "I say, President Ning, was your major in college Acting?"
Ning Wanxi's pretty face suddenly turned cold, making the whole living room feel a few degrees colder. Luo Chao felt at ease once her forr deanor returned. That's the real bossy President Ning.
"What, are you saying I'm being theatrical?" Ning Wanxi said with a stern face.
Luo Chao chuckled awkwardly, "How could I? It's just you were doing so well, if the agreent expires and we separate, I'm afraid my parents might want to chop up."
Once, Luo Chao really was chased down the street by his dad wielding a cleaver. Now, seeing how his mom likes this fake daughter-in-law so much, she might join his dad for a combo attack!
"Pfft!" Ning Wanxi couldn't help but laugh, feeling a small sense of triumph. At last, she let this thick-skinned guy taste so bitterness. With a frosty look, she added, "If they chop you up, it'll save you from harming underage girls!"
"Oh co on, President Ning, what's with that talk," Luo Chao said indignantly, "Besides, Hao Keren is young and doesn't know much. That sports car was a bet I won with her."
The borrowed sports car never returned, so could it really be borrowed? Obviously, Ning Wanxi knew that car was a gift from Hao Keren to Luo Chao.
Ning Wanxi snorted softly, "We'll let this one slide, but if there's a next ti, I'll report you to your parents."
Is that even possible? Luo Chao's face instantly darkened. Bringing her here was indeed not a wise move. With his parents backing her, his days would be more oppressed by her.
"Can I ask you sothing?" Ning Wanxi suddenly asked in a soft voice.
Luo Chao, lounging back, said lazily, "Go ahead, ask anything."
Ning Wanxi paused and asked, "What's the story behind your dad's arm?"
Even if she's not truly a daughter-in-law of the Lu Family, anyone would be curious why Lu Feng lost an arm. Luo Chao, having guessed what she wanted to ask, answered without hesitation, "I heard from my dad it was blown off by a bomb while he was in the military, trying to save a good friend."
"What!" Always calm and composed, Ning Wanxi suddenly sprang up from the sofa, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Luo Chao was startled too, saying with amusent, "What's this about? Do you have to be so excited!"
Ning Wanxi's eyes flickered with a complicated look as if rembering sothing, completely ignoring Luo Chao's words. She suddenly shook her head, muttering to herself, "It shouldn't be such a coincidence."
"What coincidence?" Luo Chao, taken aback by her startle, was confused.
Ning Wanxi shook her head, "Nothing, nothing."
Early this morning, Qin Yuzhen had already taken care of the groceries. So, it didn't take long before she had all the dishes prepared. After placing several dishes on the dining table, she shouted, "Luo Chao, Wanxi, kids' dad, ti to eat."
With his mom's shout, Lu Feng quickly ca in from outside. Luo Chao glanced at Ning Wanxi, thinking privately if this girl was sowhat neurotic today or if she'd forgotten to take her dicine.
Seeing the strange look in his eyes, Ning Wanxi's pretty face blushed slightly. She said coldly, "Your mom's calling you to eat!"
Luo Chao glanced her up and down again, making her feel uneasy, before he stood up and rushed to the dining table. After Ning Wanxi sat down, Qin Yuzhen smiled, "Co, Wanxi, try Auntie's cooking."
Ning Wanxi smiled and took a bite of the sweet and sour ribs, exclaiming, "This is delicious! Auntie, your cooking can compare with that of a restaurant chef."
Having spent several months with Ning Wanxi, it was Luo Chao's first ti seeing her so eloquent, really overturning his impression of her.
"Look at this kid, such a sweet talker," Qin Yuzhen couldn't have been happier, shaking with laughter, making Luo Chao and Lu Feng roll their eyes at how smug and undignified she looked.
Sitting together for a al, the family of four felt especially warm. Of course, this was in Qin Yuzhen and Lu Feng's eyes as a family of four. They hadn't been this happy in a long ti, relieved from worrying about Luo Chao's marital status.
After the al, Ning Wanxi even insisted on washing the dishes. While she was in the kitchen, Lu Feng ca up to him quietly and said, "Xiao Xuan, you finally did sothing to make proud. But if you let this daughter-in-law slip away, don't bla for disowning you."
Usually siding with her son, Qin Yuzhen now stood aligned with the kids' dad and chid in, "Xiao Xuan, did you hear your dad? You must keep this daughter-in-law close!"
Capable in the living room and the kitchen, she was indeed a perfect daughter-in-law. Of course, Lu Feng and Qin Yuzhen were extrely fond of her. But Luo Chao was at a loss for words, wishing he could shout, "Dad, Mom, it's all a facade!"
Amused and frustrated, Luo Chao could only grin and bear it, wishing he could voice his struggles, because Ning Wanxi really seed like an obedient, considerate, and goddess-level daughter-in-law.
Watching Ning Wanxi diligently washing dishes in the kitchen, her graceful figure and jade-like face made Luo Chao's heart beat a few tis faster. But he quickly shook his head, reminding himself that nothing could happen between them. That agreent was an insurmountable chasm. Besides, Luo Chao had grown accustod to her always cold deanor.
