Chapter 155, Section 154: Where is my wife? Where is home?
Lin Yanwan's face flushed slightly.
I really don't know why he says so much in front of others.
What woman do you mean I have to marry? She hasn't even admitted she wants to marry me yet!
Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You two are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful."
Jiang Xia said with a smile, "Editor Zhou hasn't eaten yet, has he? Would you like to try our local specialty, grilled fish?"
"No, no, I have a lot of things to do at the station, I need to go back and take care of them right away," Zhou Lu said with a wry smile.
"Looks like being a TV editor is really tiring," Jiang Xia joked.
"Of course! There are tons of messy things happening every day."
The couple watched Zhou Lu get into a Santana and leave. Lin Yanwan pinched his muscles hard, but found that they were too stiff to pinch, so she tried pinching his chicken meat instead.
She found that she couldn't pinch it, so she hurriedly let go, blushed, and looked around, afraid that someone would see her.
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense, I'll teach you to talk nonsense, I'll teach you to talk nonsense."
"Marrying you is nonsense?"
Lin Yanwan gave a soft hum: "Then you think about it first."
She is a woman and is more emotional than Jiang Xia. Their relationship has almost returned to what it used to be. What if they get married and then slowly head towards divorce?
There's no need for this marriage at all. It's much better to just date like this, without any worries.
Jiang Xia chuckled and said, "It's not enough for just one person to think about something that involves two people."
"Let's talk about it when it's time to get married!"
Lin Yanwan's tone was firm. Promises without any guarantee are useless. It's better to live happily in the moment than to think about unhappy things.
"Okay." Jiang Xia stammered, "Anyway, once you're over 22, I'll drag you to get married."
"Well, I'd have to want to marry him first, lol~"
Lin Yanwan playfully stuck out her tongue and ran away.
"where did you go?"
"go home!"
Jiang Xia then quickly followed.
"Why did you follow me here? Your home is over there."
"Your home is my home. Home is wherever my wife is."
"shameless!"
◇
The couple went grocery shopping and returned home hand in hand. When they opened the door, they were surprised to find that the mother-in-law and father-in-law were both home. They weren't cooking or watching TV, and the atmosphere seemed a bit oppressive.
Jiang Xia looked at Lin Yanwan, her eyes flickering: "Why didn't you say your parents were home?"
"I don't know either!" Lin Yanwan pouted.
She changed her shoes and went inside, pursing her lips as she said, "Dad, Mom, why are you back so early today?"
Seeing his daughter return home, Lin Gaoyuan forced a stiff smile: "I want to rest for a while today."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia understood perfectly. They probably couldn't get any work and the factory couldn't operate. Under such circumstances, what else could they do but close down and go home to rest?
Lin Yanwan naturally understood the implication. She put the groceries she had bought on the table, her tone remaining the same as before.
"That's how it should be. If you're tired, take a good rest. Don't push yourself too hard. You can never earn all the money in the world."
Lin Gaoyuan remained silent. In fact, he really wanted to tell his daughter that during this period, he had used up almost all the connections he could find and borrowed almost all the money he could, but he still couldn't help the factory get out of its predicament.
He also considered switching to other businesses, such as making furniture or molds, but changing production lines would also require a large sum of money.
Lin Gaoyuan is almost exhausted in this competition and can only hold on for the time being.
Ji Wanqiu sighed, unwilling to let her daughter know about these distressing things. She got up and saw Jiang Xia at the door, saying, "Xia, you're here too. Please come in."
"Hello, Aunt Ji," Jiang Xia said politely.
He changed his shoes and went into the house, greeting his father-in-law as well. However, he sat on the sofa, looking a little uneasy. Little Taro Ball was happy to see him, climbing out of its cat bed and rubbing against his legs.
"Yanwan, why are you wearing my clothes?" Ji Wanqiu came to her senses and realized that her daughter's outfit was a bit strange today. Not only was she wearing a suit, but she also had light makeup and lipstick on her face.
Lin Yanwan's mind worked quickly: "Mom, I...I went for a summer job interview today, and Jiang Xia went with me."
Ji Wanqiu nodded slightly, saying that wearing a suit to an interview was acceptable.
"Oh, did you pass the interview?"
"I don't know yet. They just told me to come back and wait for their notification, and said that I meet their requirements."
Jiang Xia secretly gave his wife a thumbs up. "Slap!" he thought. "Young man, quick-witted indeed."
The implication of waiting for notification was that the interview hadn't gone well; the rest was just polite talk. Ji Wanqiu was well aware of these tactics, but she didn't want to discourage her daughter, so she gently said, "Don't worry, you'll definitely pass the interview."
"Please sit down for a while, I'll go get the food."
Ji Wanqiu carried it into the kitchen. Lin Yanwan gave Jiang Xia a few winks, then went into her sister's room and closed the door. Soon, only the son-in-law and father-in-law remained in the living room.
Jiang Xia hid to the side, burying his head in petting the cat. He could clearly sense that his father-in-law was in a bad mood, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, lest he upset him again.
The best approach is to wait for Lin Gaoyuan to initiate conversation, and then adapt accordingly.
The atmosphere in the living room fell silent for a moment; no one wanted to speak, and it was quite awkward.
"Has your acceptance letter arrived yet?" Lin Gaoyuan suddenly asked.
Jiang Xia was stunned for two seconds before he realized that his father-in-law was talking to him. He had imagined many possible conversations, but he could only say that his father-in-law's way of getting closer to him was rather unique.
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
"Yanwan hasn't arrived yet either." After a pause, Lin Gaoyuan continued, "You and Yanwan both applied to Tsinghua University, right?"
"Um."
Lin Gaoyuan nodded. He wanted to say that the two of them would take care of each other when they arrived in the capital, but after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't say it.
With the emperor far away and the world beyond his reach, no matter how unhappy he is, he'll probably have to rely on this kid after his daughter leaves home.
"Why are you sitting so far away? Am I scary?"
Jiang Xia said awkwardly, "No, no, you're much nicer to me now than when you were beating me up."
Lin Gaoyuan glared at him. This kid dared to joke with him; it seemed he wasn't afraid of him at all.
In terms of personality, I'd say I'm fairly satisfied with this guy as his son-in-law.
"Does your face still hurt? If it does, I have some Yunnan Baiyao here, you can apply it."
"I was completely healed yesterday." Jiang Xia scratched his head and said, "Uncle Lin, why are you stockpiling so much Yunnan Baiyao? You don't mean you want to beat me up again, do you?"
"..."
Lin Gaoyuan was speechless for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had a reason for beating him up that day.
That guy deserves a beating. Why did I only throw two punches back then?
