Chapter 137: Chapter 137 The Pretty Daughter-in-law Meets Her In-laws

Lin Zhijie’s face turned blank, then he couldn’t help but smile as he said, "Then it’s settled; I must perform well today and surely will satisfy the president!"

This was the first time Yun Hanrui had invited Lin Zhijie to come home with her, which was a very positive signal for Lin Zhijie! At least it showed that his status in Yun Hanrui’s heart had improved somewhat.

Lin Zhijie left happily, but Yun Hanrui was staring blankly at the documents in front of her.

"Why did I invite Brother Lin!" Yun Hanrui was somewhat worried because she knew very well that her dad had always disliked Lin Zhijie and had mentioned it more than once in her presence.

"Well, when there’s a will, there’s a way. Besides, Brother Lin is so lonely in Yanjing. As the president, it’s only right that I show some concern for him! Moreover..." Yun Hanrui’s thoughts flashed to Ling Feng’s face, and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth, "Hmph, if you can have a girlfriend, why can’t I invite Brother Lin over!"

Yun Hanrui hadn’t realized that her underlying reason for inviting Lin Zhijie was because of the clarified relationship between Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu!

New Year’s Day was also a fairly significant holiday in Huaxia, and from early morning, Yun Yang and Aunt Yun had been to the market and brought back many ingredients.

"Today is New Year’s Day, let’s call Xiao Feng over tonight, and have a lively celebration of the solar New Year as a family!" Yun Yang said with a smile.

Aunt Yun nodded, "Of course. Xiao Feng’s parents are gone now, we are his closest kin; naturally, we should call him over! But... old man, do you think Xiao Rui is now feeling... somewhat fond of Xiao Feng?"

Yun Yang feigned surprise and said, "Really? I didn’t know that. Wasn’t Xiao Rui’s attitude quite resistant before?"

While organising vegetables, Aunt Yun said, "I think Xiao Rui now looks at Xiao Feng with a different gaze. Initially, it was vigilance mixed with resistance, but now it’s that unguarded look! Plus, on Christmas night when Xiao Feng took a phone call and left, Xiao Rui looked upset and didn’t even eat before returning to her room."

Yun Yang was inwardly pleased; it seemed his spouse had also noticed the change.

"If Xiao Rui is fond of Xiao Feng, I wouldn’t mind letting Xiao Feng be my son-in-law!" Yun Yang said with a laugh, "Although Xiao Feng has been displaced in recent years, I’m confident in his character. A person doesn’t need many talents; virtue comes before talent, why is virtue placed before talent? It’s because with virtue comes talent! That Brother Lin whom Xiao Rui mentioned, I don’t see him in a favorable light. It’s undeniable he’s talented, but he seems to be very calculating, and Xiao Rui is too naive to be a good match for him!"

Aunt Yun said worriedly, "I naturally also like Xiao Feng, but... I’m afraid Xiao Rui might get hurt! You know about Xiao Feng’s situation, he’s already very close to that girl named Liu Tingyu; if Xiao Rui falls too deep, I’m worried she might get hurt!"

Yun Yang said indifferently, "Don’t worry, I have faith in Xiao Feng and in Xiao Rui! We should let them handle this kind of matter themselves! When I promised Xiao Rui that I wouldn’t force her to be with Xiao Feng, whatever develops between her and Xiao Feng afterwards, I won’t interfere anymore!"

"That’s your daughter, and you won’t interfere?" Aunt Yun put down the vegetables, "No, I’m going to call Xiao Feng right now, and ask him personally what he’s thinking!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Yun wiped her hands and took out her phone to call Ling Feng.

At that moment, Ling Feng was fondling Liu Tingyu, when suddenly the phone rang.

"Hello? Aunt Yun, what’s up... Oh, I see, can I bring someone with me? Alright, I’ll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng tapped Liu Tingyu’s nose, "Get ready, we’re going to have dinner at my Uncle Yun’s place."

"Uncle Yun? Is it Senior Sister Yun’s home?" Liu Tingyu glanced at the time, "It’s only just past noon, isn’t it a bit early?"

"Xiao Rui is at the company, and Aunt Yun wants me to come over and help out!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "I’ve already promised Aunt Yun, and you have to come with me!"

A hesitant expression appeared on Liu Tingyu’s face, "Maybe I shouldn’t go, I..."

Ling Feng held Liu Tingyu’s hand and spoke softly, "Ting Yu, you are my girlfriend, and today is New Year’s Day. Do you think I would leave you at home alone? Besides, Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun are the closest relatives I have now. I also want to introduce you to them—show them what a wonderful girlfriend Ling Feng has found!"

A touch of emotion flickered in Liu Tingyu’s eyes—was this the essence of being in love?

"Then I... I’ll go get ready!" Liu Tingyu, mostly recovered, leaped up from the sofa and darted into the bedroom, "You’re not allowed in!"

Ling Feng smiled, finding Liu Tingyu’s nervous demeanor utterly adorable.

Half an hour later, Liu Tingyu finally emerged from the bedroom. Her appearance nearly stunned Ling Feng.

Dressed in a slender khaki coat, paired with a light pink turtleneck sweater, and her delicate features accented by slightly curved long hair, she exuded a very warm and radiant aura.

"So beautiful!" Ling Feng clapped his hands and laughed, "Though simple, your outfit highlights your elegance, truly worthy of being Ling Feng’s girlfriend!"

Liu Tingyu playfully punched Ling Feng, "Look at you, always so smooth-talking. Let’s hurry, we shouldn’t keep Auntie waiting."

Linking arms with Liu Tingyu, Ling Feng, basking in the faint fragrance emanating from her, felt a profound peace—an essence he had long sought.

The handsome and dashing man, the beautiful and sunny woman—Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu walking down the street attracted many admiring glances.

"Guess what they’re thinking now?" Ling Feng whispered into Liu Tingyu’s ear.

Liu Tingyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "They must be thinking, ’This woman is so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend, I’m so jealous!’"

Ling Feng chuckled, "I think they might be thinking, ’Such a beauty wasted on him—a real pity for such a beautiful girl!’"

"Hehe, just let them be jealous!" Liu Tingyu clung tight to Ling Feng’s arm, "Anyway, I’ve got you for life, and you can’t even think of making me leave!"

Ling Feng’s arm sank into her embrace as he also whispered softly, "Don’t worry, even if you try to escape, I won’t let you leave my side! This lifetime, the next, I will never let go of your hand! Even if you hate me, I still won’t let you leave!"
