Chapter 132: I Want to Marry You

"Not you……" Lin Yuan just wanted to explain.

But he was scolded by his mother: "Little Yuan, little Yuan! You say you! You already have a girlfriend, yet you hide it, and you won't even bring her home? Don't you want to take responsibility for Yuyan?!"

Mother Xu Ying glared at her son and scolded.

"Ah? Mom…… no…… I…… I'm not……" Lin Yuan still wanted to explain.

"You're a man; since you're dating Yuyan, you ought to take responsibility! You know that, right?!" Xu Ying began lecturing her son.

Lin Yuan only then realized he was utterly unable to defend himself.

It's over; now I can't explain it clearly no matter what.

The more he explained, the more confused it became.

His parents had completely believed Zhao Yuyan, that witch's words.

"Yeah, Little Yuan, since you're dating Miss Zhao, you ought to take responsibility for her. As men, we must own up to our actions, understand?" Father Lin Fu'an also solemnly instructed.

Lin Yuan: "……"

He was being scolded back-to-back by his parents; he was utterly speechless.

Zhao Yuyan sat beside him, blinking her beautiful eyes, looking at Lin Yuan mischievously.

The corner of her stunning red lips… couldn't help but curl into a smile.

Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, now I see where you can run to?

Now, you won't obediently let this girl hold you in her palm?

"Little Yuan, be honest, how long have you been dating Yuyan?" Xu Ying pressed.

This, how is Lin Yuan supposed to say?

He and Zhao Yuyan never even dated.

"Auntie, I've been dating Lin Yuan for three months." Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke first.

Lin Yuan gave her a speechless stare; this woman, lying without even blushing.

"Oh, three months, good, good, good, Yuyan. Our Lin Yuan is especially honest; if he ever accidentally offends you or bullies you, just tell Auntie, and Auntie will discipline him for you." Xu Ying said gently.

"Okay, Auntie, Auntie, then let's add each other on WeChat?" Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

"Sure, come on, Auntie will add you." Xu Ying said, taking out her phone.

Lin Yuan, standing aside, looked completely bewildered.

"Mom, don't add……" Lin Yuan wanted to stop.

But there was no stopping it.

Zhao Yuyan and Xu Ying, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, had already added each other on WeChat.

Lin Yuan: "……???"

Lin Yuan stared at Zhao Yuyan, utterly speechless.

No, who let you add my mom on WeChat??

Lin Yuan's eyes were speechless; he gave Zhao Yuyan a hard stare.

Lin Yuan desperately tried to keep Zhao Yuyan away from his parents.

As it turned out, at that moment his parents not only saw that witch, but his mother even added her on WeChat.

The way things were developing was truly beyond Lin Yuan's control.

"By the way, Auntie, I brought some fruit for you and Uncle; I don't know what you like, so I just bought some randomly, hoping you'll like it." Zhao Yuyan said, handing over the premium fruit she was carrying to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying, somewhat flattered, said, "Oh my, Yuyan, just being able to come to our home is already great. Uncle and Auntie are very happy. Why did you bring us gifts?"

Xu Ying politely declined.

But Zhao Yuyan still handed over the fruit, saying, "Oh my, Uncle and Auntie, it's my first visit, so I ought to bring a gift."

In the end, Xu Ying and her husband still accepted the gift.

"Then Uncle and Auntie thank you, Yuyan." Xu Ying liked this little girl more and more the longer she looked at her.

The young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, with a gentle temperament. She's truly the perfect match for a daughter-in-law.

For her son to find such a good girlfriend is nothing short of a blessing from his past life.

"Yuyan, why don't you stay for lunch? I'll have Uncle go buy some good dishes and have Lin Yuan personally cook for you." Xu Ying enthusiastically invited.

"Uh, Mom, we're not having lunch; we have something to do this afternoon, so we'll leave first." Lin Yuan, hearing this, hurriedly stood up and said.

Joking aside, he really didn't want Zhao Yuyan, that witch, to continue interacting with his mother.

Otherwise, things would truly become uncontrollable.

"Lin Yuan, we don't have anything planned this afternoon? We're actually just here to travel. I'm a bit hungry, so I'll have lunch at Uncle and Auntie's place. Besides, I'd like to try your cooking." Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

"Yeah, it's rare for Yuyan to come by; what's the rush?" Mother Xu Ying also scolded.

Lin Yuan was again scolded back-to-back by his parents.

Lin Yuan was utterly innocent.

He really wanted to tell his parents, "Do you know what background this woman before you has?"

Dear mother! This Zhao Yuyan's gentle charm is all an act!

She's actually the heiress of Nine Honors International!

Her family controls a gray-market conglomerate worth billions! This woman, she's from an underworld family!

But Lin Yuan still didn't dare say it, fearing his parents wouldn't accept it.

In the end, Lin Yuan could only be forced to stay for lunch.

Father Lin Fu'an went out to buy vegetables at the market.

Meanwhile, Mother Xu Ying took Zhao Yuyan's hand and chatted enthusiastically.

……

Several minutes later, Lin Fu'an bought a lot of vegetables and came back.

Lin Yuan was assigned to go to the kitchen to cook.

There's no way around it; who let Lin Yuan be the only one at home who cooks the best?

He inherited his grandfather's good cooking skills.

And his father Lin Fu'an's cooking skills are not as good as Lin Yuan's.

This guy Lin Yuan has had a talent for cooking since he was young.

"Yuyan, what dishes do you want to eat? Tell Lin Yuan so he can make them for you," Xu Ying said gently.

"Lin Yuan, I want to eat sour cabbage fish, and sweet and sour spare ribs… braised pork…" Zhao Yuyan shouted at Lin Yuan in the kitchen.

Lin Yuan felt helpless and replied, "Got it."

He started cooking in the kitchen.

After being busy all morning, Lin Yuan finally cooked a table full of dishes.

By then it was already 11 a. m.

The family sat around the table and began to eat.

"Come, Yuyan, this is the braised pork you love; Auntie will help you serve some." Xu Ying personally served Zhao Yuyan some food.

She was so gentle and pleasing to the eye toward Zhao Yuyan.

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhao Yuyan said with a sweet smile.

When she smiled, it was literally a smile that could topple a city; she was drop-dead gorgeous.

It's a pity that, in Lin Yuan's eyes, Zhao Yuyan's smile is truly fake.

It's both fake and hypocritical.

Zhao Yuyan lightly took a bite of the braised pork, and then a flash of spirit appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Mmm! So delicious! Good heavens! Lin Yuan, is this meat really made by you??" Zhao Yuyan couldn't believe it; this braised pork is too fragrant!

One bite, and the mouth feels full of bursting juices.

Rich oil and red sauce, it's fragrant enough to make one dizzy.

"Of course I made it." Lin Yuan said helplessly.

"Good heavens, Lin Yuan, I didn't expect your cooking to be this good. It's comparable to a Michelin chef." Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes, very delighted.

She actually unlocked another of Lin Yuan's strengths.

Being able to cook.

Zhao Yuyan ate more and more, becoming addicted; she couldn't help but take a few more pieces of braised pork.

This is really too delicious.

What to do?

Can't stop; the eating just can't stop.

"Yuyan, has Xiao Yuan never cooked for you before?" Xu Ying asked doubtfully.

"No." Zhao Yuyan said.

"Xiao Yuan, look at yourself! You're not being good to Yuyan at all! You used to love cooking, didn't you? Yuyan likes eating your dishes; from now on you should cook more for her, let her taste more of your cooking, understand?" Mother Xu Ying scolded.

Lin Yuan was inexplicably scolded again.

He was speechless.

He really wanted to say… I, damn it, have only known this witch for less than two weeks.

How am I supposed to cook for her?

At the table, Xu Ying kept serving Zhao Yuyan food.

"Yuyan, where are you from?" Xu Ying asked gently while serving food.

This is just like a mother-in-law asking her daughter-in-law.

"Auntie, I'm from Hangcheng." Zhao Yuyan replied.

"Oh? You're from Hangcheng?" Xu Ying somewhat disbelieving.

This, Hangcheng, is a provincial capital after all.

It's a first-tier city; I heard housing prices are a hundred thousand per square meter.

Xu Ying couldn't believe it—her son works in Hangcheng, yet he actually managed to date a local Hangcheng girl?

You see, to Hangcheng locals, migrant workers have very poor prospects.

Many locals consider themselves superior and look down on outsiders.

Especially Hangcheng, this kind of first-tier metropolis.

Many outsiders work their whole lives desperately and still can't afford a home in Hangcheng.

And most importantly, this Hangcheng local girl is also extremely beautiful.

"Yuyan, what do you do for work?" Xu Ying continued to ask.

"I manage my family's company." Zhao Yuyan replied with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying and her husband's faces became even more doubtful.

This?

Miss Zhao Yuyan's family runs a company?? She helps manage the family company?

Is this young lady's background really that outstanding?

This.

Zhao Yuyan is not only that beautiful, her family is also wealthy? And she's also a native of Hangcheng.

Compared to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan simply isn't good enough for Zhao Yuyan.

Thinking this, Xu Ying and her husband exchanged a glance, and a hint of inferiority flashed in both of their eyes.

It's only because the couple lacks the ability to help Lin Yuan obtain better living conditions.

"Yuyan ah, how did you and Xiao Yuan meet?" Xu Ying asked curiously.

She was really curious—this young lady's conditions are so excellent, how could she possibly take a liking to Lin Yuan??

"Well, it was just an accident. We were introduced by a friend." Zhao Yuyan said, sticking out her tongue.

Actually, her meeting Lin Yuan can also be considered a friend's introduction.

It was the Goddess who introduced them.

If it weren't for the Goddess contacting her father and having Nine Honors International go out to rescue Lin Yuan,

then Zhao Yuyan would not have met Lin Yuan.

So, this also counts as being introduced by a friend.

"Yuyan, your family's situation… is indeed quite good… Auntie will speak frankly to you—our family's situation is not good. With our abilities, we probably can't help Xiao Yuan buy a house in Hangcheng…" Xu Ying sighed, her face showing some inferiority.

"Yuyan, our family still owes a huge amount of external debt. These matters, Auntie doesn't want to hide from you… er. Do you really think highly of our Xiao Yuan? If… if you think it's not suitable, then forget it…" Xu Ying's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

Although she really likes this young lady Zhao Yuyan.

But the Lin family's situation is too poor.

truly not worthy of Zhao Yuyan.

The Lin family has fallen.

Debts are piled up.

But Zhao Yuyan's situation is so good.

Even Xu Ying, as a mother, feels that her son Lin Yuan is not worthy of Zhao Yuyan.

So Xu Ying wants to speak clearly and tell Zhao Yuyan all about the family's situation.

That way, if Zhao Yuyan regrets it, there's still time.

Lin Yuan's parents are still quite honest.

In society, many people have external debts or family difficulties, yet they deliberately conceal this from the female party.

Then, after deceiving the female party into entering the household, the female party will be very unfortunate.

But Lin Yuan's parents don't want to deceive Zhao Yuyan, so they honestly explained the family's difficult situation.

Listening to Xu Ying's words, Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Auntie, I don't need Lin Yuan to buy a house in Hangcheng, ah? My family has a house, and many villas; my dad will give me a few as dowry when the time comes, and we can just live in my house for the marital home."

"This?" Upon hearing that, Xu Ying and her husband were stunned?

The couple never expected that this girl Yuyan would be so good?

She actually offered to provide a Hangcheng villa as the marital home??

The couple has lived their whole lives and has never seen such a good young lady.

Lin Yuan, listening from the side, felt a bit dazed.

"Mom, what nonsense are you spouting?! I haven't even gotten that far with her, and I haven't even thought about marriage!" Lin Yuan urged hastily.

This mother of mine really is getting more and more out of line.

But Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "But I want to marry you."
