#87 - Chapter 87 Lin Chen, try hugging me

In the evening, Lin Chen told Lin Xiaoxi a story, and Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep with a sweet smile on her face while listening.

She was sleeping in Xu Mengyao's room.

Lin Chen sent a message to Xu Mengyao, and Xu Mengyao came over, already showered and in her pajamas.

The weather was a bit hot, and her pajamas were quite revealing.

"Lin Chen, what are you looking at?"

Xu Mengyao said with a slightly red face, feigning anger.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Is it illegal to look at my own wife? Mengyao, you stay with Qianqian, I'm going to take a shower."

"Wait a moment."

Xu Mengyao hesitated.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Do you want a hug and a kiss?"

Xu Mengyao rolled her eyes at Lin Chen.

"You're just daydreaming."

"My parents already know we got our marriage certificate. But your parents don't know yet."

"You... find a chance to talk to them about it."

Xu Mengyao's face was flushed.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao with a teasing smile: "Mengyao, isn't this just between the two of us? Is this now becoming a matter for two families?"

Xu Mengyao: "It's between the two of us, but my parents know and your parents don't, that's not fair."

"My mother really likes the painting you gave her, she only thinks about giving your mother a gift on your mother's birthday."

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao with a smile.

"Mengyao, is that all?"

Xu Mengyao's eyes flickered: "Of course, what else do you think? Don't overthink it."

"Just tell your parents the truth. We have a marriage certificate, but we are just ordinary friends right now."

Lin Chen's expression became low.

"Just ordinary friends? I thought we were good friends. It seems I was a bit presumptuous."

Xu Mengyao's heart tightened.

"Okay, good friends, I misspoke. Anyway, we're still just friends, don't talk nonsense, lest your parents misunderstand."

Lin Chen: "Don't worry, there won't be any misunderstandings."

Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "My parents will definitely recognize you as their daughter-in-law, there will be absolutely no misunderstanding about that."

Xu Mengyao: "..."

"Go take a shower, I can't be bothered to argue with you."

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

In the morning, Xu Mengyao took Lin Xiaoxi and Lin Chen to the supermarket, he had to prepare more ingredients because there would be guests for lunch.

"President Xu, Brother Lin is so devoted to taking care of Qianqian."

"Indeed... If he wasn't your husband, I'd want to pay him to help me take care of my child. He's good at basketball, and the kids love listening to his stories."

"Mengyao, even if Lin Chen earns less, a man like that is good. Anyway, you earn enough, you can't even spend all your money."

Said Yi Yi's mother and the other two.

Lin Xiaoxi was playing with Tiantian, Yiyi, and Yuanyuan. Pipi's parents had something to do, so he was taken away by his parents.

Within the same community, there would be small circles everywhere, Xu Mengyao and her fellow mothers were one such circle.

Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen earns quite a bit himself."

She didn't want them to misunderstand and think that Lin Chen was spending her money.

The time was approaching noon.

Xu Mengyao and the others went to Xu Mengyao's villa together.

"Yiyi, Tiantian, Yuanyuan, the food my daddy makes is the most delicious in the whole world."

Lin Xiaoxi said with a little smugness.

"Really?"

"Qianqian, are you bragging?"

Lin Xiaoxi's three little friends expressed their doubts.

Before long, Xu Mengyao and the others arrived.

Opening the door, Xu Mengyao and the others smelled an enticing aroma, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"It smells so good."

"Daddy, we're back."

Lin Xiaoxi ran happily towards the kitchen.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, take your little friends to wash your hands, we can eat soon."

Xu Mengyao and the others went to wash their hands.

Lin Chen quickly brought out the dishes, there were many people, so he made more dishes than usual today, a total of ten.

Meaning perfection.

"This--"

"Lin Chen, how is it that the dishes you make are even more exquisite than those made by a five-star chef in a restaurant?"

"These dishes look like works of art."

The three adults exclaimed in amazement one after another.

Xu Mengyao wasn't surprised, after all Lin Chen usually just made less, and his usual dishes were also very exquisite.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Everyone, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

"Everyone, sit down, don't be polite."

Xu Mengyao said.

Xu Mengyao's house had a large round table, although there were nine of them, there was no problem sitting down.

Soon everyone started eating.

"Hmm?"

Yiyi's mother and the others soon stared blankly.

The dishes Lin Chen made were not only good-looking, but the taste was also superb, their families were all wealthy, and they had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but they had never eaten anything so delicious.

"Qianqian, you weren't bragging."

"Uncle Lin, the food is so delicious."

Lin Xiaoxi's three little friends all expressed their opinions.

Lin Xiaoxi showed a sweet smile on her face.

She didn't have many little friends, so getting her little friends' envy and recognition was a very happy thing for her.

"How is it?"

Xu Mengyao asked with a smile.

Yiyi's mother and the other two praised him non-stop, they quickly tried the other dishes, and each one was incredibly delicious.

After eating a meal, they were all stuffed.

Lin Xiaoxi's three little friends were also stuffed.

They were all a bit picky eaters and ate slowly, but today, they didn't pick at all and ate very quickly.

"Brother Lin, your cooking skills are amazing."

"Brother Lin, did you conquer Mengyao with your cooking skills?"

The four little ones went to play, Yiyi's mother and the others said.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and smiled, "You have to ask Mengyao about that."

Xu Mengyao's face was slightly red: "I wasn't conquered by you, I was just confused and ended up with you."

She was telling the truth.

But hearing it in Yiyi's mother's ear, it was like spreading sugar.

"Mengyao, I'm already full, and you're still stuffing me with dog food, can you have pity on a single dog like me, okay?"

Yuanyuan's mother said.

She had already divorced her husband.

Yiyi's mother: "Brother Lin, have you and Mengyao not had a wedding yet? If you have a wedding, don't forget to invite us."

"No problem."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Before long, the guests all left, Yiyi and the others had to take a nap, and Lin Xiaoxi also needed to take a nap at noon.

After Xu Mengyao coaxed Lin Xiaoxi to sleep, Lin Chen washed the dishes.

Xu Mengyao: "You don't actually have to wash the dishes, Qingqing and the others will be back later, they'll take care of it."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm just idle anyway. Wife, how was it, did I make you proud today?"

"Should I give you a kiss?"

"A hug is fine too."

Xu Mengyao mustered up her courage and said, "Lin Chen, don't even think about kissing me for now. You... try hugging me."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

She actually knew Lin Chen's good qualities, but she didn't even know if she could accept physical contact right now.

"Hmm?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he took two steps forward.

Xu Mengyao could feel Lin Chen approaching, her body trembled slightly, and her face became a little pale.

Lin Chen reached out and brushed the hair in front of Xu Mengyao's forehead: "Mengyao, maybe later, you're not ready yet."

Xu Mengyao opened her eyes.

She said bitterly: "Lin Chen, I'm sorry. I... I don't know what's going on, I can't control myself."
