Xiao Dongshan was a bit unhappy and retorted, "Mom, I believe brother-in-law is not that kind of person."

"He took me around the Medicine Market, checked every herb very meticulously; it should be unqualified."

"What do you know? He knows we don't have a clear understanding of medicinal herbs, so he's just playing tricks with us." Zhang Hui looked disdainful.

Xiao Dongshan grinned non-stop, "Even if brother-in-law is playing tricks, I feel... it's not a big deal, can't one show themselves properly?"

"Hey, Dongzi, you seem quite affectionate calling him brother-in-law so soon! Have you been bought off by him already?" Zhang Hui stared at Xiao Dongshan.

Xiao Dongshan didn't care, "Mom, he came all this way to treat Dad's illness, helped us get our money back, and even got me some compensation up to ten million. Where would you find such a good brother-in-law?"

"Why do you have a problem with him?"

"Your aunt said he has a bad character, idles around all day, and doesn't have a proper job! This concerns your sister's lifetime happiness; how can I not pay attention?"

Zhang Hui said irritably, "I am grateful for his help to our family, but we also need to assess him carefully."

"Not to mention, just on the matter of herbal medicine, if he's deliberately scheming, it proves your aunt's words true, that he's not of good character! I cannot let your sister be with someone like that!"

Xiao Dongshan waved his hand, "Just afraid you can't be the boss of my sister, haha."

"How dare she?!" Zhang Hui widened her eyes, acting like a fierce mother tiger.

In the bedroom.

Chen Xuan was typing on the keyboard, sending a string of symbols.

Xiao Yiyi was dumbfounded, "Brother Xuan, what are you sending?"

"Morse code."

Chen Xuan responded, hitting enter, "Done! Just wait to receive the goods tomorrow morning."

He then stood up and turned off the computer.

"Brother Xuan, you seem so mysterious! Sending Morse code just to get some herbs?"

Xiao Yiyi looked at him strangely.

"You'll understand later, don't ask now." Chen Xuan smiled lightly.

"Alright, anyway I'm already yours, so I don't care how mysterious you are." Xiao Yiyi giggled, "Come on Brother Xuan, give me a kiss!"

She wrapped her arms around Chen Xuan and started kissing him wildly.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Holy Temple abroad.

The Divine Medicine Hall, one of the three major halls, received this string of coded messages.

"A directive from the Young Hall Master! The following medicinal herbs are needed, must be delivered to Jingnan City, Dragon Country, by ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Quickly! Execute the Young Hall Master's order immediately, no errors allowed!"

...

That evening, at the dinner table.

Xiao Wencheng chuckled and said, "Chen Xuan, this is your first time visiting, and instead of hosting you properly, we made you busy."

"You treated my illness and also helped me recover the debts. You've really worked hard!"

"Uncle Xiao, you're too kind, it's what I should do." Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Xiao Wencheng seemed quite satisfied with Chen Xuan, "Dongzi, have some drinks with Chen Xuan."

"No problem! I'll make sure to accompany brother-in-law well and have a good time." Xiao Dongshan smiled and raised his glass, "To you, brother-in-law, a toast from your brother!"

"I'm not bragging, but a half a liter of baijiu is no problem for me!"

"It's all about having fun." Chen Xuan smiled and gestured.

"Haha brother-in-law, tonight I'm determined to drink you under the table, let you see my drinking capacity."

Xiao Dongshan smiled proudly, "Sister, don't interfere! This is between us men!"

Xiao Yiyi pouted, "If you can drink Chen Xuan under the table, I'll count that as a capability of yours."

"Oh, you look down on me, do you? Well, tonight I'll compete with brother-in-law!"

"Come on, brother-in-law, let's go again! Deep feelings, bottoms up! Brother here will set the example!"

Xiao Dongshan was getting excited and drank it all in one go.

Chen Xuan followed with a smile, appearing relaxed and at ease.

Just like that, the two kept drinking, one cup after another.

Before long, Xiao Dongshan couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh man, brother-in-law, you sure can drink; I really can't outdrink you."

"Brother concedes defeat, truly impressed!"

Xiao Dongshan's face turned beet red, waving his hand continuously, as he couldn't drink anymore.

"Showing off and now making a fool of yourself!" Xiao Yiyi said with a smirk.

"I concede, completely convinced! I can't hold on, I'm going to bed to sleep off some of this drink."

Xiao Dongshan wobbled as he stood up and stumbled into the bedroom.

"Chen Xuan, tonight you'll sleep in the same room as Dongzi, hear me?" Zhang Hui looked at Chen Xuan with a warning tone.

"Okay." Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.

The three-bedroom, one-living room house didn't allow him to sleep with Xiao Yiyi, so he was to sleep in Dongzi's room.

However, on his way to the bedroom, Xiao Yiyi secretly gave him a look.

Around ten o'clock at night, Chen Xuan climbed through the window into Xiao Yiyi's room.

Dongzi's room was like a pigsty, nowhere near as comfortable as cuddling up with Xiao Yiyi to sleep.

Just then, Zhang Hui came to check the room, "Yiyi, open the door."

"Mom!"

Xiao Yiyi gasped, "Brother Xuan, hide in the wardrobe first."

What kind of situation is this?!

Playing hide-and-seek with mother-in-law in the middle of the night?

Chen Xuan looked helpless, feeling like he was sneaking around having an affair.

He could only hide in the wardrobe and didn't dare make a sound.

Xiao Yiyi opened the door, "Mom, what's up?"

Zhang Hui glanced into the room, "Nothing, I just want to make sure Chen Xuan didn't sneak into your room while I'm not looking."

"Oh mom, you really! Checking your daughter's room at night, hurry up and go to bed." Xiao Yiyi pushed her out.

Just then, Chen Xuan's phone rang; it was Yang Leshan calling him.

His expression changed instantly, hurriedly setting the phone to silent mode.

But Zhang Hui still heard it, "What was that sound? Whose phone is ringing?"
