The Rules of Us Mages

Lukou Airport,

Li Yao finally saw his Dad at the arrival gate. He went up to Dad a hug. "You two are finally back."

Seemingly a little unaccustomed to Li Yao like this, his mother Zhang Yufeng chuckled and playfully punched her son's chest, "What's with the fuss! What if he doesn't come back? But we did stay out a bit longer this time. Oh, and I brought you all some gifts."

Li Yao casually picked up his Dad ' luggage. "Let's talk about it when we get back."

After getting into a taxi in the taxi area, Li Yao took Dad parents directly back to the Lost Tavern.

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were also in the tavern.

Li Yao called them over.

The two elders greeted the Old Lin couple with smiles and warm greetings. After a few pleasantries, the mother suddenly pulled Li Yao aside furtively and said with a beaming smile, "Oh, this commotion means something's up?"

Li Yao smiled and nodded, "Yes, something's up!"

My mom was so happy she felt like she was flying to the sky!

She gripped Li Yao's sleeve tightly. "So you're planning to propose marriage to the Old Lin family? If you had told me earlier, your dad and I wouldn't have gone out to play and would have saved the money for your dowry! Let me tell you, even though we're familiar with the Old Lin family, we can't skimp on what's due, you know..."

"Not the one you're waiting for!"

Li Yao immediately stopped them, asking with a puzzled look, "Why are you proposing marriage? When did I say I was going to propose marriage?"

My mom's face immediately darkened. "Then why are you making such a fuss!"

Li Yao: "..."

So you're saying you'll find fault with me no matter what if I don't find a partner?

Li Yao was feeling a bit tired.

He pushed the message back to his mother. "Yes, something is wrong, but it's not about this! Please sit down and wait for dinner before we talk!"

After Mom sat down again, Uncle Lin came over, their faces beaming with joy.

They figured Da Yao must have some ulterior motive for calling them here, right? But since they were the women, they couldn't be too obvious!

I need to be reserved! But the impulse inside me just won't stop!

So, intentionally or unintentionally, he started steer the conversation towards the idea of the two families becoming one, making his mother's face grow darker and darker! She was now itching to grab her personal feather duster and give her son another good scolding! "You unfilial son!"

You wouldn't even take a bite of meat that's practically handed to you. What's the point of raising you all these years?

Zhang Yufeng was furious! This family gathering at the tavern was organized by Chen Xi. Her mother and Aunt Lin sat for a while and then went to the kitchen to help. The remaining men chatted idly, while Xiaoxi played games on the side.

While in the kitchen, Mom suddenly realized how Peugeot Chen Xi was!

She noticed Chen Xi when she came last time, and this time she's even more Peugeot! Look at her chest!

Look at her tiny waist!

Look at that big... cough cough, Political Commissar Zhang Yufeng withdrew her gaze and began to observe Chen Xi's temperament and manner of dealing with people. She found that this girl was incredibly gentle and virtuous!

She was immediately smitten! But Aunt Lin was right there! So her mother could only hold back, but in her heart she was still wondering. "Does Da Yao not like the second daughter of the Lin family? Could it be that he has his eye on this girl? Well, how can they not have some feelings for each other after spending so much time together?"

It seems Da Yao isn't a single dog anymore! Thinking this, Political Commissar Zhang Yufeng felt much better.

soon,

Dinner began, and after everyone had a few drinks, Li Yao tapped his glass to get everyone's attention and said, "I called my Dad, Uncle Lin, and Aunt Lin here because I have something to say."

Uncle and Aunt Lin immediately lit up with anticipation!

My Dad, Li Jianguo, was also like that.

Lin Xiaoxi just kept eating! Only her mother, who knew the truth, looked sullen. Of course, she hoped Li Yao would announce that he had found a partner—who it was didn't matter! Sigh, she was really worrying herself sick over her own little pig! Li Yao glanced at everyone and said, "Recently, I partnered with a senior from our school to do business and made some money, so we bought two houses in the provincial capital. They're fully furnished and have everything we need, right across from each other. You two can just move in."

After he finished speaking, he looked at his own family and the Lin family with a smile, as if to say:

What are you waiting for? Praise me!

Uncle Lin's smile froze slightly, "That's it?"

Li Yao laughed and said, "No, it's not that. After all, going to the provincial capital might affect everyone's work. But the economy is not doing well right now, and I know that everyone seems to be having a hard time at work. So I simply took over two shops in the provincial capital and used them to do beauty and wellness business."

This way, everyone will have something to do.

Uncle Lin's smile vanished completely, "That's it?"

Li Yao asked in confusion, "That's all?"

Uncle Lin gasped and forced a smile, saying, "This is unacceptable. We can't accept these things without having done anything right."

Broken!

Forgot about that!

Uncle Lin's family isn't the type to take advantage of others, so how could they possibly accept so many things from them?

Not to mention that Aunt Lin's illness was cured by herself!

They had no idea that their best friend from another world had entrusted them with taking care of them!

Thinking of this,

In a moment of quick thinking, Li Yao pulled Lin Xiaoxi out of the predicament. "It wasn't me who gave it to you. Xiaoxi actually got your share!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "Huh?"

She looked up in confusion, her mouth glistening with oil...

When she saw everyone looking at her and noticed Li Yao frantically winking at her, she immediately nodded. "That's right, it's me!"

Although she had absolutely no idea what was going on!

Wow~ Sister Chen Xi's cooking is so delicious, waaaaah~ I didn't even notice what those guys were saying! Uncle and Aunt Lin: "..."

Uncle Lin was furious. "Other girls are all wearing lipstick and makeup and looking delicate, but you're just... this is delicious, this is delicious too, so delicious, so delicious, so delicious, so delicious!" As he spoke, Uncle Lin slapped Lin Xiaoxi on the back of the head, leaving Lin Xiaoxi stunned!

Lin Xiaoxi: (o`дo)??? What are you doing! My sister Chen Xi's cooking is delicious, what's wrong with that!

The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became cheerful.

Li Yao laughed and said, "It's settled then. Let's both families get ready and come to the provincial capital."

After discussing it, the two companies decided that it was actually a good idea!

Staying in Tong City, that small place, doesn't really mean much. Going to the provincial capital would allow me to be closer to my children.

The key is that they're right next to each other! The two families visit each other frequently!

That was settled, and after the meal, the two families were taken to the hotel for accommodation.

When Li Yao returns,

Chen Xi had almost finished cleaning up the tavern.

Under the dim yellow light,

Chen Xi, wearing an apron, was wiping the table when Li Yao came over to help her turn the chairs upside down on the table and then brought a mop to help mop the floor. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work at all~"

Chen Xi sat down at the large dining table, propped her chin up, and looked at her boss with a smile, "Actually, I'm very happy."

Yeah?

Li Yao laughed and said, "Leave the rest to me. You should go and get some rest."

Chen Xi: "Mmm~ Goodnight, boss~"

Li Yao waved his hand. "Okay, get a good night's sleep."

Li Yao was left alone downstairs in the tavern. After he finished his work, he sat down in front of the fireplace and lit the fire. The flickering firelight cast an unpredictable shadow on Li Yao's face.

He took out his phone and sent a message to his best friend:

"The matter is resolved, there's no major problem. But right now... I'm very angry."

I'm so angry!

Lin Xiaowei replied immediately, "They should pay the price, that's the rule."

Our monks'...

Rule!
