No one made breakfast, so just like yesterday morning, I had to go out for something to eat.
Afterwards, Xiao Yiyi went to school, and Chen Xuan drove Lin Wanxi to the company.
On the way, Lin Wanxi sat with a cold expression, not saying a word.
Chen Xuan just kept driving, a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, not initiating conversation either.
Arriving at the company, an hour into work, Lin Zhiguo called Chen Xuan into the office.
"Father-in-law, what did you call me here for?" Chen Xuan sat across the desk.
Lin Zhiguo wore a helpless smile, "Having a spat with Wanxi again?"
Oh?
Chen Xuan smiled playfully, "Father-in-law, why do you say that?"
"I just went to Wanxi's office and noticed she didn't look right. As soon as I mentioned your name, she got impatient..."
Lin Zhiguo shook his head with a bitter smile, "Weren't things fine just the other day? What's going on now?"
Chen Xuan sighed lightly, "Last night, your daughter insisted I sign a document, I didn't agree, and she got upset."
After explaining briefly, Lin Zhiguo found it amusing yet exasperating.
"Aren't you two just being childish? Having a cold war over this? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at!"
Lin Zhiguo kept shaking his head, "Chen Xuan, actually, ever since Wanxi was little, she's never cooked; she really can't make meals."
"Of course, I'm not trying to make excuses for her, but how many girls cook these days, right?"
"You need to give in a bit; after all, we're men, aren't we? Haha."
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Father-in-law, I don't agree with that; does being a man mean having no status at home?"
"That's not what I meant, don't get it wrong." Lin Zhiguo quickly waved his hand, "I mean, there's no need for such clear distinctions between husband and wife."
"Men should be assertive and decisive outside! But with your wife, there's no need for such macho behavior, don't you think?"
Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Father-in-law, this isn't about being macho, it's just not how things should be done."
"I don't mind doing laundry, cooking, or some housework, and it doesn't dishonor a man. But there's a prerequisite: I should want to do it, not be forced by my wife."
"Being a good husband and being henpecked are two different things entirely!"
Sigh!
Lin Zhiguo shook his head with a bitter smile, "You two are butting heads again, neither willing to back down."
"If this continues...it's not a solution! What about the marital relationship? It'll eventually fall apart! Cold wars do the most harm to feelings!"
Chen Xuan smiled, "Father-in-law, it's not as serious as you say, I've got it under control."
"Wanxi is your daughter, don't you know her temperament and personality?"
"I admit she's excellent in many ways, but she's just too proud! I want to spend a lifetime with her, it's fine for her to have pride at work."
"But if she's prideful toward her husband, I'll end up being the punching bag! I must temper her pride, let her understand the way to coexist as a couple, so feelings can be stable, and the family harmonious!"
Lin Zhiguo burst into laughter, "Chen Xuan, you really understand these things!"
"Alright then, as long as you have it under control. I'm just afraid of you two having a relationship crisis again."
"That won't happen, not to that extent," Chen Xuan replied with a smile, "I'll handle it properly to foster the relationship in a positive direction."
Lin Zhiguo said nothing more, just smiled helplessly.
With his forceful matchmaking, the two went from being strangers to becoming spouses directly.
This skipped many essential steps, making various conflicts quite normal.
It will take time to adjust and fill in the missing steps!
...
In the afternoon, Chen Xuan once again drove to the gate of Zhonghai University to pick up Xiao Yiyi after school.
Five minutes later, Xiao Yiyi came running out quickly, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and get in the car!"
"What's up, are you being chased by a dog? Running so fast!" Chen Xuan teased deliberately.
Xiao Yiyi was panting, "Zheng Yan got his cousin to come and deal with you after school!"
"Let's hurry, or it'll be too late! I've heard, Zheng Yan's cousin is very skilled! A fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo!"
Just as the words left her mouth, Zheng Yan and his cousin caught up.
Xiao Yiyi's face scrunched with fear, "Oh no, too late, we're blocked."
"Brother-in-law, be careful!"
Chen Xuan remained unmoved, sneering disdainfully.
A fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo...
Not worth mentioning!
