"Mom, what would you like to eat?"

Upon entering the house, Jiang Yu prepared to head towards the kitchen and casually asked a question.

Liu Xian replied, "I'm not eating, I'm on a diet."

Chen Cixiu's lips twitched. No wonder everyone says that the idols of the younger generation are all falling apart, while the idols of their parents are all becoming more and more popular.

At this age, still trying to lose weight? That's impressive.

Chen Cixiu really wanted to leave. Although it was fine for them to live together after getting married, it would be too easy to investigate someone like Liu Xian, who was once a big star and later helped her husband build the Jiang Group.

They moved in together right after getting married; how upset must the mother-in-law be?

"Auntie, how about I go and make you something to eat?" Chen Cixiu wanted to find something to do. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was a little at a loss.

"Oh, no need. Come on, sit here and chat with me." Liu Xian pulled him to sit on the sofa, her eyes full of satisfaction.

The young man is handsome, has a good personality, knows himself well, and based on his performance in school over the years, he is an outstanding student.

Both her parents are professors, so she's a good match for them in terms of social standing.

The key is to be observant and find something to do as soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking.

Children who are observant and attentive to life are always endearing.

Some people visit their future in-laws, and then just sit on the sofa and ignore everything else.

It's not that you have to do something special on your first visit, but you should find things to do. This will help you feel more comfortable at your in-laws' house and put their minds at ease.

Of course, if you're offered only a pittance of food after arriving at the door, or if the in-laws are asked to do the dishes, run away!

This is different from Chen Cixiu's situation, because the two have already registered their marriage, so it is necessary to cook a simple meal for the mother-in-law.

Liu Xian didn't ask Chen Cixiu how his married life was or how his work was going. She only asked him if he felt uncomfortable living with her daughter these past few days, and if he had developed feelings for her daughter.

When asked about these things, Chen Cixiu knew that his mother-in-law already knew that they not only didn't know each other, but also had a whirlwind marriage, which had only lasted for a mere 72 hours.

“Auntie, you might not believe me if I said I like Jiang Yu now, and you would be even less likely to believe me if I said Jiang Yu likes me now.”

Chen Cixiu had barely finished speaking when Liu Xian interrupted him: "No, I believe the first part. After all, I don't even like my daughter's cold face. But you're different. If my daughter doesn't like you, then she's blind."

Chen Cixiu was stunned. All the words he had just been about to say vanished into thin air. He never expected Liu Xian to say such a thing.

Is this her biological mother?

"Auntie, you think too highly of me. However, I like Jiang Yu, so I'm very happy to have spent time with him." As she spoke, her gaze drifted towards Jiang Yu, who had been sent to the study by Liu Xian.

“Okay, since you say so, then Auntie is relieved. Auntie came here abruptly today without bringing much. Here, add Auntie on WeChat, and Auntie will transfer the money to you in a bit.” As she spoke, Liu Xian suddenly whispered, “I’ll also tell you a secret about my daughter so that you can understand her better.”

"Auntie, aren't you afraid I'll trick you into marriage?" Chen Cixiu found it amusing; it was the first time he'd met Liu Xian so interesting. In Professor Wu Minjun's words, she was practically a goddess.

"Marriage fraud? Young man, I am Liu Xian."

As Liu Xian added the nickname "[Handsome Son-in-Law]" to his contact, she opened his profile picture while talking to him, "Oh my, Cixiu, look at this photo of you and my daughter, you're a perfect match."

Chen Cixiu said, "This was taken by Lin Xiaoxiao."

"I know, that girl sent it to me a while ago."

So, having an undercover agent by his side is probably largely due to Lin Xiaoxiao's influence in Jiang Yu's years of being pressured to get married.

"Yuyu, Mommy's gone home."

Liu Xian got up and opened the door to the study.

"Okay, then take care," Jiang Yu said calmly.

Liu Xian suddenly started acting, even sobbing. Her tears came so easily; no wonder she's a double award winner for both film and television. "Yu Yu, don't you love your mother anymore?"

Jiang Yu took out his phone and called his father.

"Wait, I'm going back right away. Don't call your dad."

Chen Cixiu was stunned as he watched the abstract conversation between the mother and daughter. How could Liu Xian, a double winner of Best Actress and Best TVB, be afraid of her husband?

"Handsome son-in-law, I'll come to see you again next time. Please accept the gift I sent you. Don't call me 'Auntie' next time we meet."

After saying that, he opened the door and left in a few quick steps, without even seeing him off.

Chen Cixiu was about to deliver it when Jiang Yu quickly stopped him, saying, "No, if the paparazzi take pictures and you and my mom are trending on social media tomorrow, I don't want you to become my stepfather."

Chen Cixiu was stunned.

Is this something that Jiang Yu could possibly say?

Jiang Yu's phone rang; it was Liu Xian calling.

“Daughter, I’m very satisfied with this son-in-law. Also, he just said he likes you. Since you like him too, then hurry up and break down this barrier. You’re married now, so don’t be shy about anything.”

Jiang Yu's brain went blank at that moment.

She looked at Chen Cixiu, somewhat incredulous.

He probably only said he liked her to appease his mother, right?

They had only known each other for three days, although they had kissed.

"How do you know my mother?" Jiang Yu asked Chen Cixiu after hanging up Liu Xian's call.

Chen Cixiu explained, "Because my mom is a fan of Auntie, and a die-hard fan at that. We still have DVDs of Auntie's old TV dramas at home. If you want them, I'll bring them to you when I go home another day."

"No, don't bring it, my dad gets jealous easily." Jiang Yu quickly waved her hand, letting her hair down. "My mom is very happy with you."

Chen Cixiu said proudly, "That's right, I've been likable since I was a child."

That's true. Everyone who met him since he was little liked him because he was sweet-talking and would greet everyone he met. Besides being taught by Professor Wu, the more important reason was that he discovered that whenever he called someone "sister," "aunt," "uncle," "brother," or "papa," as long as he was sweet-talking, they would give him snacks and praise him for being sensible.

A sensible child will always get candy.

Of course, being too sensible is not good; being too sensible makes you vulnerable to being bullied.

“I’m different. I’ve never been liked since I was a child.”

"If I like it, that's enough." Chen Cixiu didn't give her a chance to finish.

Jiang Yu was speechless after hearing this, unsure of how to respond. If it were Gu Qianqian, she probably would have already clung to her.

But she couldn't; she had never experienced anything like that.

He quickly left a message and headed to the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower."

Chen Cixiu watched her flee in disarray, feeling quite pleased.

My WeChat rang again; it was a transfer from Liu Xian.
