Lin Wanxi looked puzzled, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Zhang Ru couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately said, "Wanxi, you have to think this through! You can't be so hasty and let this kid take advantage."

Lin Wanxi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, "Mom, what are you thinking? I'm just calling Chen Xuan to my room to talk about something."

"You all... have such wild imaginations!"

After saying this, she went upstairs first, looking as if she was retreating in embarrassment.

Chen Xuan followed her upstairs with a chuckle, finding Lin Wanxi's retreat quite cute.

Zhang Ru breathed a sigh of relief, "I was startled for a moment, thinking Wanxi was also taken in by that kid."

Xiao Yiyi immediately volunteered, "Auntie, do you want me to go up and eavesdrop on their conversation? Monitor them secretly for you?"

After receiving Zhang Ru's permission, Xiao Yiyi quickly went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhiguo was speechless and didn't bother to say more.

At the door of the master bedroom,

Xiao Yiyi leaned against the door, eavesdropping, not daring to make a sound.

Inside the room, Lin Wanxi said annoyedly, "Is it funny?"

Chen Xuan spread his hands, "Isn't it funny? Your mom thought you called me to the bedroom for that reason, hahaha."

Lin Wanxi rolled her eyes at him, "I'm asking you why you're always thinking about the Jade Pendant in my hand?"

"You don't think it's related to Ye Qingxian anymore, do you?" Chen Xuan said with an amused smile.

Lin Wanxi's expression turned serious, "Talk business!"

Chen Xuan nodded, "Actually, that Jade Pendant is a heirloom of the Chen Family. Due to some changes, its whereabouts became unknown, and I never expected it to be in your possession."

Lin Wanxi crossed her arms and smirked, "Chen Xuan, are you making up stories here?"

"I bought this Jade Pendant with my own money, how did it become your family heirloom? Nonsense!"

"I am telling you the truth, this Jade Pendant is indeed a heirloom of my family." Chen Xuan said helplessly.

"Alright, maybe your family does have such a Jade Pendant, but it's just similar. How can you be sure this Jade Pendant is your heirloom?"

Lin Wanxi looked at him, "No matter where you go, you have to provide evidence."

"You can't just say it's yours and it becomes your family heirloom."

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, "I really can't provide valid evidence, but I've known this Jade Pendant since I was a child, it's impossible to mistake it."

"Moreover, this type of Phoenix Jade Pendant is very unique, there cannot be an identical second one."

Lin Wanxi shook her head, "I'm sorry, but I can't agree with your explanation."

"Chen Xuan, let me tell you the truth, the moment I laid eyes on this Jade Pendant, I liked it."

"You've helped me a lot recently and even saved my life. Logically, I should repay you well."

"As long as you ask for anything else, I would give it to you without hesitation, except for this Jade Pendant. I hope you don't make things difficult for me, I really like it."

Chen Xuan laughed to himself and kept shaking his head.

Lin Wanxi frowned, "Are you crazy? Laughing to yourself there."

"I think perhaps this is what's called meant to be!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, "I can responsibly tell you, this Jade Pendant is indeed a family heirloom of the Chen Family."

"Originally, my mother planned to hand it to my future wife personally, passing it down from generation to generation."

"And now it's in your hands, and we have our marriage certificate."

"Tell me, isn't this what's meant to be!"

Lin Wanxi's face instantly turned red again, "I don't understand the nonsense you're saying, who's meant to be with you?"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Alright, since you like this Jade Pendant, and you're now in the position of my wife, it's like returning to the rightful owner, something that was meant for my wife. I won't ask you for it."

"At least tell me where you got this Jade Pendant from?"

Lin Wanxi blushed, "This is getting more and more absurd!"

"Chen Xuan, I find that you're full of lies, what exactly do you want from me? Better just be upfront!"

Chen Xuan looked helpless, "I'm not lying, why don't you believe me."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? That I'll be easily fooled by your sweet talk!"

Lin Wanxi pushed him out of the room, "Chen Xuan, I find you very dishonest! Making up stories just to get the Jade Pendant!"

Chen Xuan was left outside the door, inexplicably anxious and speechless.

"Brother-in-law Chen, not even a single punctuation mark of what you said is believable to me, let alone my cousin."

"Be honest, are you saying all that just to stay close to my cousin intentionally?"

Xiao Yiyi walked over with a giggle, "Your intention isn't wrong, just your approach is a bit outdated."

"You were eavesdropping behind the door?" Chen Xuan shot a side glance at Xiao Yiyi.

Xiao Yiyi looked at him with a cheeky smile, "Brother-in-law Chen, if you want to become a real brother-in-law, you have to try harder."

"My cousin has high standards, she doesn't fancy just any man, it's not easy to win her over."

With that, Xiao Yiyi twirled her pigtails and walked away with a laugh.

Chen Xuan rubbed his nose, feeling like he was determined to stay by Lin Wanxi's side and didn't want to leave.

"How about... just let the error continue?"

Chen Xuan rubbed his nose in thought. If Lin Wanxi truly became his wife, the Jade Pendant would be in the rightful hands.

As for the origin of the Jade Pendant, Lin Wanxi definitely wouldn't hide it from him.

After all, from his observations, Lin Wanxi was qualified to be his wife, meeting all the conditions for being the wife of a Young Hall Master.

With this thought, Chen Xuan became completely at ease, letting Lin Wanxi misunderstand his intentions.

He'll just let the pretend act become real!

Turn into real husband and wife!
