Luo Chen paused for a moment, glanced at Mo Xiaotuo, and Mo Xiaotuo understood and got up to go into the room.

To avoid suspicion, Nangong Jiu followed him into the room and hid. After closing the door, he patted his chest and let out a long breath.

After the door opened, Grandma Luo walked in with a happy face. She couldn't wait any longer. Ah Chen had finally agreed to meet his granddaughter-in-law, and she was afraid that Ah Chen would change his mind, so she simply came to the door.

"Ah Chen, where's my granddaughter-in-law? Hasn't she finished class yet? Hurry up and go pick her up. I'll have Zhang Ma go buy groceries and cook for you." As soon as Grandma Luo came in, she started chattering away, with Zhang Ma, who had come last time, following behind her.

Zhang Ma hadn't expected Old Madam Luo to make such an arrangement. She whispered, "Old Madam, there's nothing in the kitchen."

There's nothing there?

How can that be?

Cooking can be a joy in family life.

Back then, she and the old man got married first and then developed feelings for each other. Their feelings were gradually cultivated through the little things at home.

After hearing this, Grandma Luo frowned. She went to the kitchen and found it to be completely empty.

"A single dog is a single dog. You're treating the kitchen like it's just for show. How are you going to live with your wife like this? Aren't you tired of the food at the hotel?" She nagged at Ah Chen angrily.

After listening, Luo Chen explained calmly, "Grandma, we've only been married for two days. We'll add things gradually later. Besides, I can't cook, I..."

"You can't cook, but Zhang Ma can. Let..." Old Mrs. Luo couldn't wait for Zhang Ma to come and keep an eye on them for a while.

"No need, Grandma. Xiao Tuo has some things to take care of at home these days. Once she's done, we'll go buy kitchenware." Luo Chen could only patiently explain to his grandmother that he absolutely would not let Zhang Ma stay.

snort!

Grandma Luo snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction, "You brat, if you dare to hurt my granddaughter-in-law, I'll never forgive you!"

Inside the house, Mo Xiaotuo felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing the old lady's words. She wasn't that good, that the old lady had such high expectations of her, and she was afraid the old lady would be disappointed. Moreover, she didn't want to morally blackmail Luo Chen, since Luo Chen had just helped her.

"Is there any way to fix my face?" she asked nervously, touching her face.

"Do you have foundation?" Nangong Jiu asked in a low voice.

Mo Xiaotuo shook her head. She had never used these things because she didn't have extra money to buy them.

It was the first time Nangong Jiu had ever heard of a girl not having cosmetics in her bag. He was stunned for a moment, then took out concealer and powder from his bag and used them to remove the slap mark on her face.

Mo Xiaotuo looked at Nangong Jiu with surprise, never expecting that a male doctor could live a more refined life than a woman.

Nangong Jiu was not only skilled in medicine, but also had unparalleled skill in disguise. In no time, the slap mark on Mo Xiaotuo's face was no longer visible.

Mo Xiaotuo looked in the mirror to make sure she couldn't see the handprint before opening the door and going out.

The ugly daughter-in-law was meeting her in-laws, who were also the elders in the family. She was worried that she would not make a good impression on Grandma Luo, so she timidly walked to Luo Chen's side.

Luo Chen breathed a deep sigh of relief when he saw that the slap mark on Mo Xiaotuo's face was gone.

"Grandma, this is Xiao Tuo. She's a bit shy." He took her slender little hand in his.

Mo Xiaotuo glanced at Luo Chen. How could his hands be so big? They felt like a child's. Moreover, his palms were warm, and her heart started pounding.

Luo Chen found it strange that he was holding this woman's hand; why was her heart beating at a different frequency?

Is this due to the fusion of male hormones and a uniquely feminine aura?

He frowned, but he didn't dislike the feeling; it just made him a little less calm.

"Hello, Grandma, I am... I am Mo Xiaotuo." Mo Xiaotuo stammered because she was nervous, and there was a fine sweat on her forehead.

"Xiao Tuo, come here, let Grandma take a look." Grandma Luo was a little excited when she saw Mo Xiao Tuo. She tried her best to control her excitement so as not to let anyone see anything.

Mo Xiaotuo glanced at Luo Chen with some worry. Luo Chen was also afraid that Mo Xiaotuo wouldn't be able to handle it, so he tightened his grip on Mo Xiaotuo's hand and said, "Grandma, we can't eat at home, let's go to the hotel next door to eat."

"Good, good, good!" Grandma Luo looked at Ah Chen holding Xiao Tuo's hand and was quite satisfied with her grandson's attitude towards his granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing that Grandma Luo had agreed, Mo Xiaotuo quickly broke free from Luo Chen's grasp and went to help the old lady out the door.

Luo Chen looked at his empty hands and walked ahead out of the house.

After going downstairs, Luo Chen opened the car door and invited his grandmother and Mo Xiaotuo into the car. He sat in the driver's seat, and Zhang Ma got into the passenger seat.

Grandma Luo looked at the car with disgust. What exactly is this kid trying to do?

She has so many cars to drive, but she drives out this beat-up car to fool her granddaughter-in-law.

Luo Chen saw his grandmother's displeasure in the rearview mirror and knew what she wanted to do, but he simply ignored it.

He found a very ordinary restaurant nearby, booked a private room, and had dinner there. He then sent his grandmother home early.

Poor Nangong Jiu was treated like an invisible man. He only came out of the room after the car below left, muttering curses as he walked away.

As darkness fell, Luo Chen drove Mo Xiaotuo back.

Mo Xiaotuo didn't sit in the passenger seat, but instead fell asleep in the back. She had been running around all day and was so exhausted that she didn't even wake up when the car stopped.

Luo Chen stopped the car and turned around to see that the woman was already asleep. He parked the car and walked to the back seat, gently nudging the woman who was no longer sleeping: "Mo Xiaotuo, wake up first."

Mo Xiaotuo woke up groggily and saw Luo Chen sitting next to her. She subconsciously moved her body to the side.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your dry-fried green beans." Luo Chen didn't hold back when he saw that this woman dared to look down on him.

Stir-fried green beans!

Mo Xiaotuo was a little angry, but considering that she was currently living under someone else's roof, she didn't argue with him too much.

"We're even today. You helped me once, and I helped you once." Her tone still betrayed a hint of displeasure.

“Okay! It will be the same from now on. We won’t interfere with each other’s lives, but if you are bullied by outsiders, you can still tell me. After all, you are still my wife in name only. If you are bullied, it will be my loss of face.” Luo Chen heard the dissatisfaction in her tone, but still explained the rules to her in his own way. If things like today’s incident were to escalate, his grandmother would definitely not let him off the hook.

“Okay, then tomorrow you can take some time to come with me to meet my mother’s relatives, my uncle.” Mo Xiaotuo wanted to strike while the iron was hot and arrange a time for Luo Chen to meet with Lawyer Chen. The title of uncle was also agreed upon with Lawyer Chen.
