#42 - Chapter 42 Are you staying here tonight?

"Lin Chen, the basketball game is the day after tomorrow."

"I and Shen Qing will come to see Qian Qian this afternoon, and I will also bring you your basketball uniform this afternoon."

Xu Mengyao re-edited and sent the message.

Lin Chen did not reply immediately.

Xu Mengyao has thin skin. If he replies immediately, Xu Mengyao will definitely suspect that he saw the message just now. Maybe she won't come over for ten and a half days by then.

Half an hour passed.

Lin Chen replied simply: "Okay."

Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Chen's reply.

"Lin Chen and I are just in a fake marriage."

"How can I take the initiative to ask him if he provides meals? No matter how delicious Lin Chen's cooking is, I can't do this."

Xu Mengyao muttered in her heart.

Xu Mengyao and Shen Qing came at three or four in the afternoon.

"Mommy, Auntie Qing Qing!"

The door opened, and Lin Xiaoqian called out happily.

"Qian Qian, Mommy missed you so much."

Xu Mengyao quickly picked up Lin Xiaoqian and kissed her.

Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice: "Mommy, I miss you too. Auntie Qing Qing, I miss you too."

"Mommy, can I let Nannan come to eat?"

Xu Mengyao asked: "Who is Nannan?"

Lin Xiaoqian: "Nannan is my good friend. We often play together. Nannan's mommy gave me delicious food."

Shen Qing: "Qian Qian, Nannan's mommy took her to play downstairs, and your daddy took you to play downstairs. You met and became good friends, right?"

"Yes, yes."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled sweetly.

Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and said with a smile: "Mengyao, I didn't say much to Nannan's mommy."

"Xiaoqian, you testify for Daddy."

Lin Xiaoqian asked suspiciously: "Daddy, you talked to Auntie, you chatted happily."

Lin Chen: "..."

"Mommy, I want to invite Nannan to eat, but Daddy said that I can only invite her when Mommy is here."

"Can I invite Nannan now?"

Lin Xiaoqian asked.

Xu Mengyao touched her little head and smiled: "How about another day? Auntie Qing Qing is here today. How about you invite her when Auntie Qing Qing is not here?"

"Mommy, why?"

Lin Chen said: "Auntie Qing Qing is a guest, and Nannan is also a guest. We have to take good care of the guests, right?"

"If we invite them at the same time, can we not take care of them properly?"

Lin Xiaoqian thought.

After a while, she nodded: "Daddy, you are right. Then I will invite Nannan to come over for dinner next time."

Xu Mengyao handed a bag to Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, try it on."

"See if the size of this basketball uniform is suitable."

Lin Chen nodded.

He took the bag and went to the bathroom.

Shen Qing asked in a low voice: "Qian Qian, Auntie Qing Qing asks you a question, is Nannan's mommy pretty?"

Lin Xiaoqian said without thinking: "Pretty, but I think Mommy is the prettiest, and Auntie Qing Qing, you are also pretty."

"Qian Qian, this is our little secret."

"Don't tell your daddy."

Shen Qing urged.

"Why can't I tell Daddy?"

Lin Xiaoqian asked suspiciously.

Xu Mengyao: "Qian Qian, this is a secret. You can't tell your daddy your Auntie Qing Qing's and your secret."

"Qian Qian, let's go to the balcony."

"Your mommy and daddy might want to kiss secretly."

Shen Qing took Lin Xiaoqian and walked to the balcony.

Lin Chen quickly changed into his basketball uniform.

Xu Mengyao showed a look of surprise in her eyes when she saw him.

Lin Chen looks thin and doesn't give people a strong feeling at all, but after changing into his basketball uniform, Xu Mengyao found that Lin Chen's arm circumference is not small at all.

"Mengyao, you chose the right size."

"This basketball uniform is quite suitable for me."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Suitable is good."

"Let's go to the study and talk."

The two went to the study, and Lin Chen explained: "Mengyao, I didn't say much to Nannan's mommy. We just chatted politely a few times each time."

Xu Mengyao: "We are just in a fake marriage. Even if you really have something with her, I won't have any opinions."

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao with a smile.

Xu Mengyao felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't have any ideas."

Lin Chen said: "You asked me to come in."

"Do you have anything to do?"

Xu Mengyao said: "I asked you to come in just to make Qian Qian think that we have... have intimate behavior."

"Pretending, understand?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Understood. How is the basketball game arranged?"

Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are a total of ten teams in the company's basketball game. Each team has twelve people. There are ten company executives participating, and each team will be assigned an executive."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "It seems that it's not just for show. If you win, will there be any rewards in the end?"

Xu Mengyao said: "The salary of everyone in the first-place department will be doubled that month, and the salary of the second-place department will increase by 50%."

"The ten executives will only be rewarded in the championship team, with a bonus of one million yuan, with each person contributing 100,000 yuan."

One hundred thousand yuan is not much for Xu Mengyao and the others.

If you can win, one million yuan is not bad.

"How will the competition be held?"

Lin Chen asked.

Xu Mengyao said: "It is divided into Group A and Group B. There are five teams in each group, and each team will play against each other."

"A win counts for three points, a tie for one point, and a loss for zero points."

"The team with the highest total score in the group will enter the final."

Lin Chen said: "The championship team needs to play five games, and the remaining teams need to play four games, so this will definitely take more than one day."

Xu Mengyao: "Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for three days. Those who have games will play, and those who don't have games will go to work normally."

"Two games will be played on Wednesday and Thursday, and only one final game will be played on Friday."

Lin Chen frowned and said: "Xiaoqian needs to take a nap. On Wednesday and Thursday, I may only be able to play in one game each day."

Xu Mengyao nodded: "That's okay. Each team has twelve people, so you don't need to play in every game."

Lin Chen asked: "Is the competition held at your company?"

"Yes."

Xu Mengyao nodded, "The basketball court in the company is not bad. Tomorrow you can take Xiaoqian to take a look first."

"And meet and get to know your teammates."

Lin Chen asked: "Will you show up then? How will you introduce me? Will we be exposed like this?"

Xu Mengyao said calmly: "I will introduce you as my husband. I am the boss, and they dare not make a fuss."

"This kind of exposure may cause some people to make trouble for you. If there is, tell me."

"I will handle it."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

With Xu Mengyao's looks and her money, even if she has a daughter, she will definitely not lack suitors.

"Lin Chen, you will face some trouble. As compensation for you, I will buy this house from the landlord and put it in Qian Qian's name."

"But you can live here for as long as you want."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Chen shook his head: "There is no need. I have already bought this house from the landlord. The contract has been signed, and the transfer can be completed in a few days."

"Huh?"

Xu Mengyao was stunned.

Lin Chen smiled lightly: "Xiaoqian likes this place, so I bought it. Are you staying here tonight?"
