Chapter 539

~8 min read 1,485 words

What's wrong, wife? Don't you like this baby that I personally gave birth to?

Jin Chen saw the boy closing his eyes, unwilling to face it, and he was delighted, then handed over the matching pacifier.

You said last night that you'd feed it as soon as you woke up.

Jiang Xun took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and threw the doll at Jin Chen.

Don't bring this up again!

Even though he's all worked up and still needs to be soothed himself, Jin Chen naturally knows when to stop and obediently acts as a massager.

Jiang Xun yawned, forced himself to forget this embarrassing matter, and clung to Jin Chen's arms, unwilling to get up.

Wait, I still have a question.

He immediately sat up straight, "Why do I remember……there's a ghost in the room? Or a named ghost?"

It will even help us get our meals!

【!! Host, hurry up and explain!】

Jin Chen responded calmly, pulling his wife back into his embrace, "That's the room's intelligent control system; you remembered wrong, wife."

I was just saying, it's still pretty scary.

Jiang Xun muttered to himself, quickly putting the matter behind him.

Because of this delay, the monthly exam is surely over already.

He suddenly realized this, his expression somewhat downcast; the aftereffects of the pheromone made Jiang Xun still rely heavily on his Enigma, and he rubbed against his embrace again.

My gift is also gone.

Who said there isn't? Jin Chen gestured for him to look at the bedside cabinet, where a beautifully wrapped paper box half the size of a suitcase sat, its cover depicting the latest technology intelligent control drone.

There were also several game cartridges.

Jiang Xun's eyes lit up instantly; he half‑kneeled and reached for the gift box, "But you said gifts only come if the monthly exam scores go up, right?"

That's to motivate you to study; besides, I've tutored you for so long, even if we didn't miss the monthly exam, I believe my wife can improve a lot.

Jin Chen embraced him from behind, his voice low and tender, "My wife has been working so hard these days; what's wrong with giving a gift?"

Jiang Xun listened silently, his cheeks flushed, feeling both excited and moved.

He put down the still‑unopened gift, turned backward and flung himself into Jin Chen's chest, his tone soft and gentle.

I really like this gift, thank you, boyfriend.

Jiang Xun felt his heart filled with satisfaction.

He wasn't just happy because of the gift; more so because Jin Chen could voice a promise and actually keep it anytime.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 100!】

Alright, want to sleep a bit more? I'll go make breakfast.

No, no, I want to be with you.

After sleeping for so many days, Jiang Xun doesn't want to keep sleeping.

He rubbed his eyes and obediently put on his clothes.

——

After finishing breakfast, the first thing the two did was go out.

Jiang Xun, breathing in the fresh air, felt utterly refreshed in mind and body; even the slight discomfort in his body was negligible!

Jin Chen still remembered his two brothers' instructions: let them return to normal and make a trip to the Jiang family home; although he didn't know what they were to do, obeying would surely be fine.

Before setting off, he sent a message to Jinyu; the other side took half a day to reply, telling them to just come over directly.

Jiang Xun, seated in the car, was still pondering what the reason could be.

Could it be that we have to meet the parents? But you've already been to my house many times; isn't our relationship already public?

Jiang Xun counted on his fingers while thinking, subconsciously leaning on Jin Chen's shoulder, sitting in a relatively comfortable posture.

Jin Chen wrapped his arms around the youth's waist, narrowed his eyes and shook his head, also a bit puzzled: "I'm not sure; we'll know when we get there."

That's true; speculating now is useless.

Jiang Xun shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, lowered the car window; the wind blowing in immediately lifted his bangs, he half‑closed his eyes to gaze at the scenery outside, and the corners of his mouth rose high.

The wind blowing in at this time carried a hint of warmth, but it didn't make one feel stuffy; it was just the right amount of warmth.

He liked this feeling; the sensation of the wind brushing his face would make his happiness rise straight up.

Moreover, sitting together with the one he loves.

Jin Chen seemed to share the youth's happiness as well, his brows and eyes relaxing as he gazed at the person in his arms.

When the car slowly entered the courtyard of the Jiang family villa, Jiang Xun finally understood why they had to be called back.

Just after getting out of the car, he saw several people in the garden, plus two unfamiliar elders; the person sitting beside his own mom looked beautiful and gentle, with delicate features resembling Jin Chen by about thirty percent.

At a glance, you could tell they were related by blood.

Jiang Xun took a deep breath.

Father and Dad?

Jin Chen also murmured in surprise, "They actually came over."

So……it really is meeting the parents.

Jiang Xun's heart suddenly tightened with nervousness, except that the person meeting the parents was himself.

Don't be nervous; they really like you.

Jin Chen took his hand and walked over; even when they confirmed their relationship, he had already told Dad about Jiang Xun, and they showed they liked him as well.

So there's no need to worry at all now.

Dad, they're coming over.

Jinyu was the first to notice the two people, placed the peeled green grapes in Jiangjian's palm, reminded the few elders still chatting, and the remaining five people all turned to look back.

Noticing his younger brother wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants today, Jiangjian raised his eyebrows slightly, a teasing glint flashed in his eyes, and he stuffed a green grape into his mouth.

Jiang Xun was so nervous he couldn't stand it, and he completely failed to notice his brother's teasing gaze.

"Little Xun really is as handsome as in the photo."

Shen Lin's gentle smile and slow tone quickly eased much of Jiang Xun's nervousness.

"Look at you being nervous, why aren't you calling someone?" Madam Jiang felt her younger son's appearance was quite strange, and she laughed till she could hardly contain herself.

What should he call him.

Jiang Xun furtively glanced at Jin Chen, who was thick-skinned enough to say, "Call him Dad."

The youth's fair face instantly flushed red; there's no way to just Change Address upon first meeting, after holding it in for a while he managed to blurt out 'Uncle,' and then he also shouted once to Father Jin.

Father Jin and Jin Chen, the two brothers, were both stone-faced, but deep down they still liked the two daughters-in-law, and they forced out a smile and nodded.

"Don't be nervous, Little Xun, come sit down."

The words of the several elders kept replaying in Jiang Xun's mind, as if he were dreaming.

It turned out they were discussing the engagement.

Finally the four elders slapped the table and decided: let the Dage get engaged first; Jin Chen and the other are not in a hurry, waiting until after college to get engaged is not too late.

But we still need to ask the opinions of the four younger generation.

Jinyu and the other naturally had no opinion.

Jin Chen listens to Jiang Xun in everything; since Jiang Xun said they could get engaged after college, he naturally agreed as well.

After the most important matter was settled, the four elders let them move freely, shifting the location to the Study to discuss what needed to be prepared for the engagement.

Jiang Xun sneakily pulled his older brother to the swing behind the small garden.

"Brother, how did you get together with Elder Brother Jin? You agreed to his pursuit so quickly?"

He even found it somewhat unbelievable.

Is this still his brother who used to reject blind dates and relationships?!

Jiangjian sat on the swing, his long legs lightly touching the ground, swaying slightly.

"Last time I won the bid and we were to cooperate on a project, but because an extra project came up temporarily, we both had to go on a business trip to Didu."

Jiang Xun walked behind his older brother, gently pushed, and said, "Then what?" He knew this matter, and he also teased Jin Chen, saying Elder Brother Jin would definitely redouble his efforts to catch up with his older brother.

"I was invited to attend a reception in my capacity as the company's Chief Executive Officer……"

Time reverted to half a month earlier.
