"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I'll go in right away."
Wen Xiu was the first to react. She bowed to the white-haired old man and then went inside first.
Who exactly is this old man? How could the fifth young master of the Wen family treat him with such courtesy?
This was a question not only for Tang Xiwei, who was relatively close by, but also for everyone present.
"This old man Zhang is a veteran of the family and one of the ministers who supported my father in his succession to the throne. Now, his influence and power in the Wen family are even greater than mine."
"Nowadays, most of the power and funds in the southeastern coastal areas are under his control."
Wenwan whispered in Chen Luo's ear about the old man, and Chen Luo immediately understood.
Looking Mr. Zhang up and down, Wen Xiu realized that this was the legendary loyal minister who had served the emperor. No wonder Wen Xiu treated him with such courtesy.
However, Chen Luo was most concerned about Wen Wan at this moment. Because he was by her side, Wen Wan's illness had never relapsed before.
But now, upon hearing that Wen Tao, the head of the Wen family, wanted to see her, the psychological stress reaction she had back then reappeared. At this moment, Wen Wan was swaying and could not even stand steadily.
"Chen Luo, you, you'd better not go in. I don't want you to get involved in family matters."
"My father, that man, is truly terrifying. This is a consensus among all members of the Wen family, so... Ah! What are you doing?"
Before she could speak, Wen Wan gasped in surprise as Chen Luo bent down slightly, slipping one hand under her armpit and placing the other on the back of her knee.
"Come up."
Chen Luo scooped Wen Wan up in his arms and held her tightly in a princess carry.
"You haven't been eating properly lately, and you've lost weight again."
He chuckled and pinched Wen Wan's firm, elastic thigh, then whispered in her ear.
“I’m already involved. Don’t be afraid. Stay in my arms. We’ll go see your scary father together.”
As he spoke, Chen Luo, dressed in shorts and a vest, carried Wen Wan into the villa.
The old man watched Chen Luo carry Wen Wan inside, and stroked his beard with a smile.
"I'm getting old, I'm getting old. These young people these days really don't play by the rules."
After saying that, the elder followed him inside and closed the villa door.
The scene of Chen Luo carrying Wen Wan in his arms just now stunned everyone around them, and people from both sides began to whisper among themselves.
"Holy crap! What did I just see? I saw President Wen being carried in a princess carry in public? Am I dreaming? Try slapping me!"
"Smack!" The man was sent flying, and the person who struck him began to cry out in surprise.
"Holy crap! My hand hurts! It really wasn't a dream. This future boss's wife really did give President Wen a princess carry in public! And President Wen even tacitly approved! She's truly a role model for us all!"
"Holy crap! This legendary, ruthless sixth young lady of the Wen family is actually as docile as a kitten. I've never seen anything like it in my life. A few years ago, she single-handedly caused the destruction of more than a dozen families!"
"That's right. A few years ago, I watched her wipe out an entire underground force in the capital with just a few words, following behind the Fifth Young Master. And now she's suddenly become his sweet little wife?"
"What the hell! There's a war going on! And you're still gossiping? I'm going to give you a piece of my mind when I get back!"
Mo Lan shouted at the crowd while taking out her phone and snapping photos of the two people walking in.
Both sides present were speechless when they saw Mo Lan taking pictures like crazy. What do you mean we're gossiping? You're the one having the most fun shipping couples!
The tense atmosphere between the two sides dissipated considerably after their masters entered the villa and Chen Luo's princess carry became a topic of gossip.
Many people had already put away their weapons and showed no signs of wanting to fight. Some men and women who were nearby even started exchanging QQ contacts!
Hey! Are we at war?! Are you guys going on blind dates after work?
Just as everyone relaxed, Tang Xiwei, who was lying on the ground, struggled to her feet and, unnoticed by anyone, made her way to the back door of the villa.
...
Inside the villa, Wen Xiuxian sat on a sofa, in front of which was a huge screen.
This is a video system that can connect to the family's old house, independent of any company's video signal, and has extremely high confidentiality.
Wen Xiu sat on the sofa, feeling uneasy. He was already terrified when he made the phone call earlier, and now he had to video chat with his father, Wen Tao.
Damn it! I'd rather see the King of Hell than see that old man's face, it's just too terrifying!
No, I can't be too nervous later, or the old man will find fault with me and I'll be skinned alive if I don't die.
I quickly straightened my clothes, tried to calm myself down, picked up the red wine in front of me, poured myself a glass, and took a sip to calm my nerves.
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Wen Xiu spat out the wine in her mouth and coughed violently.
It wasn't because he managed to snag it, but because he saw Chen Luo walking in wearing shorts and a tank top, and carrying Wen Wan in his arms.
"Ugh! You're filthy! Don't you have any sense of hygiene?!"
Chen Luo quickly dodged the sprayed wine and looked at Wen Xiu with some disgust.
What kind of Beijing tycoon or rich young master is this, so unhygienic? What a piece of trash!
At this moment, Wen Xiu disregarded Chen Luo's disdain for him and immediately pointed at him and shouted loudly.
"No way! You're dressed like this to meet my parents? Are you crazy?! You..."
Wen Xiu was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on Chen Luo, but then Wen Wan glanced at him sideways, and Wen Xiu immediately lost his temper.
"No! Can't I say something when your man is being so rude? You're not even married into the family yet! Do you have to be so protective of your husband?"
"No!" A gentle yet firm voice, filled with murderous intent, rang out: "Try saying that again!"
"Okay, okay, love is the most important thing, I won't say anything more, alright?"
Wen Xiu could only roll her eyes. Fine, fine, just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Wen Wan: Yes, you can really do whatever you want when you're in a relationship!
"But are you planning to meet your father in this position? Aren't you afraid he'll get angry and go berserk?"
Wenxiu was speechless at this moment. Even if it were any ordinary father, he would not allow any man to bring his daughter to meet his parents like this, right?
Wen Wan realized something was wrong and tried to get down from Chen Luo's arms, but Chen Luo refused to let go.
"If I meet his parents like this, what can he do if he's unhappy? He can't just bite me!"
As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, the large screen in front of him suddenly lit up.
"This is the first time someone has spoken to me like this. Young man, you are very interesting, really, very interesting."
