The Mother-in-Law Wants to Meet Her Son-in-Law

"If you're not being honest, then I have nothing to say. After all, they're your friends, not you. I don't get involved in other people's business."

Yan Bingxue: "Gu Yuxin! Okay... it's me."

Gu Yuxin: "Haha~ Exciting! My darling actually admitted it~ If you ask me, this Su Chen is truly a remarkable person to make my darling care so much. I really want to meet him~"

Yan Bingxue: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send the novels you're reading to your mom."

With that one casual sentence, she hit Gu Yuxin's weakest spot.

You have to understand, Ms. Gu was an avid reader. If those novels hidden on her phone were discovered by her parents, it would be a massive social embarrassment.

Gu Yuxin: "Hahaha~ Just kidding, don't be so serious, darling~ You tell me, what exactly happened? I'll listen and then give you some advice~"

Yan Bingxue immediately recounted what had just happened. Even while typing, she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

Gu Yuxin: "That's it? I thought it was something major. Darling, this is a classic case of love making you dizzy! Didn't you just 'drive' with Su Chen? Besides, he was the one who said it. It's fine~"

Yan Bingxue: "Is it really fine? I don't want him to misunderstand, after all, I've never said anything like that to anyone else besides him."

Gu Yuxin: "Oh my~ My little ancestor, you're just scaring yourself. A little playful banter between couples is a sign of affection~ I think you just lack experience, which is why you're making such a big deal out of this small thing! Here, I'll send you a few books!"

Yan Bingxue: "What books?"

Gu Yuxin: "Hehehe~ Books to teach you! Bingxue, read what experienced drivers have written to gain some experience, and you won't be so pure and cute like you are today~"

"The most important thing to capture Su Chen is to make the raw rice into cooked rice. With you like this now, you won't be able to pass this final hurdle~"

"We have to stand on the shoulders of giants to see further, right? Hurry up and accept the books. This is all valuable stuff I've saved for my sister. After reading them, I guarantee you'll be invincible and can pounce on Su Chen!"

Looking at the message and the compressed file sent over, Yan Bingxue immediately threw her phone aside, covering her face with her hands, her heart pounding rapidly.

When did she become like this?

It seemed to have started after she met Su Chen.

In the past, in the business world, she had interacted with many men. In her eyes, they were either partners or competitors. Her professional attitude had never faltered.

Why was it with Su Chen that she so easily misunderstood things...

Was she really too inexperienced, unable to resist the temptation of a handsome man?

Yan Bingxue buried her face in the water, sobering herself for a moment, then picked up her phone and clicked to accept the file.

After Su Chen finished washing the dishes, he went straight to take a shower. When he came in to get his clothes, Yan Bingxue deliberately turned her back to him.

Su Chen knew she was still feeling shy, so he just said, "I'm going to take a shower," and then went into the bathroom.

Only after he closed the door did Yan Bingxue turn to look.

She took out her phone and opened a book to read, but listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, she couldn't focus on the book in her hands.

Her gaze kept drifting towards the bathroom door.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang, startling Yan Bingxue so much that she almost dropped it.

Seeing that it was her mother calling, she quickly adjusted her emotions and answered.

"Hello, Xue'er, what are you doing?"

"Mom, I just got back from Yangcheng. I've showered and am getting ready for bed."

"You're home? That's great, let's video call~"

Yan Bingxue immediately sat up straight upon hearing this.

No, she couldn't video call.

This was Su Chen's home!

"Mom, let's video call another day. I'm a bit tired today, I'll just chat for a bit and then sleep."

Tang Shuyun on the other end of the line was smiling.

She had already heard that Yan Bingxue was staying at Su Chen's place, and now her daughter was refusing to video call, which meant this was true.

This was wonderful!

But her daughter was still keeping it from her. She needed to find a way to get her to say it herself!

Tang Shuyun thought for a moment, and a plan immediately formed in her mind.

"Alright~ Then let's just talk on the phone. Xue'er, actually, Mom called you today because there's something I want to tell you. Are you free this weekend?"

Yan Bingxue didn't think much of it and said, "I don't know about the weekend yet, Mom. Do you need something?"

She didn't have any important work on the weekend, but now that she had Su Chen~ she naturally wanted to dedicate her free time to nurturing family relationships.

If her mother really had something important, she would go, but if it wasn't that urgent, then her love life would have to take precedence!

"It's nothing major. It's just that a friend's son just returned from abroad. He's about your age, quite handsome, and a highly skilled professional. So, I wanted you to come home for dinner and meet him."

She had brought up matchmaking, and she didn't believe her daughter would still refuse!

Yan Bingxue frowned immediately upon hearing this, "Mom, didn't I say I wasn't going to do these things? You promised me before."

"Oh dear~ But circumstances have changed, haven't they? Tuantuan and Lele are already three years old, and you're also at the age where you should be getting married. You're still single, and Mom is naturally worried~ Xue'er, please understand your mother."

Yan Bingxue sighed softly and said, "Mom, you don't need to arrange anything. I'm already married."

"Married? Really? Xue'er, you're not just saying that to avoid blind dates, are you?" Tang Shuyun asked, feigning suspicion.

"No, I really am married. If you don't believe me, you can ask yourself. I had Uncle Zhang from the Civil Affairs Bureau handle it. It has the official seal from the bureau, it's a marriage recognized by the state."

Tang Shuyun was overjoyed on the other end. Her daughter had personally admitted to being married. Was it far off until their whole family could go home together? Not at all!

"Is that so? Daughter, that's wonderful news!" Tang Shuyun tried her best to sound surprised.

"Xue'er, you've always been so independent. How could you only tell me about something as big as marriage now? What kind of person is he?" Her mother's words made Yan Bingxue glance towards the bathroom, her thoughts drifting to Su Chen.

She curved her lips slightly, her voice a little gentler than before, "He... he's very good. Very handsome, and he's great with the kids and me. He's smart and capable, and he can cook. Tuantuan and Lele both love his cooking. I... I like him a lot too."

Su Chen really had so many good qualities. Yan Bingxue felt a little shy as she spoke.

Wasn't it a bit embarrassing to praise her husband so much to her mother?

Tang Shuyun grew happier the more she listened. She hadn't expected Su Chen to be able to cook!

Such a handsome young man, and at such a young age, his domestic skills were apparently perfect too!

This was just fantastic!

"Hearing you talk, I'm really eager to meet my son-in-law. I'm sure he must be a very handsome young man, otherwise, he couldn't have captivated our Xue'er~"

"Xue'er, since you're already married, why don't you bring your husband home for dinner soon? How about this weekend? You all come back together, and I'll prepare a delicious meal for you!"
