My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 542: One Hurdle After Another


Opening the room door and stepping into the living room, Chen Xuan nods and smiles, trying not to speak.

On the living room sofa, Lin Zhiguo and Xiao Wencheng sit on the right side, while Zhang Ru and Zhang Hui, the two sisters, are on the left.

Xiao Yiyi and Xiao Dongshan, the siblings, accompany them on each side.

"Chen Xuan, come over and sit." Xiao Wencheng waves with a smile, not forgetting to compliment Chen Xuan to Lin Zhiguo, "Brother Lin, I'm not just boasting about Chen Xuan in front of you, he's genuinely excellent."

Lin Zhiguo, smiling, nods, "Do you even need to say that? I'm very aware of Chen Xuan's excellence. Otherwise, why would I have let my daughter..."

"Father-in-law, you're too kind."

Chen Xuan hurriedly interjects, looking at the two with a modest smile.

This shout of "Father-in-law" makes both Lin Zhiguo and Xiao Wencheng think it's addressing themselves, no one notices anything unusual.

"Chen Xuan, you shouldn't be too modest. It's all very evident." Lin Zhiguo said with a smile.

"What's so evident? He's only got limited skills, don't praise him to the skies!"

"He is far from the best son-in-law standard I have in mind!"

Zhang Ru shows a disdainful look.

Zhang Hui chuckles, "Sis, you just have a bias against Chen Xuan."

"I also thought Chen Xuan didn't seem great at first, but over these past few days, I find him really nice!"

"He's a good son-in-law!"

Xiao Yiyi and Dongzi suddenly get surprised, realizing the topic is going astray, and quickly try to correct it.

"Mom, please don't say anymore," Xiao Yiyi hurriedly interjects, "My aunt is here specially to see my dad, don't keep bringing up Chen Xuan and make my aunt unhappy."

Zhang Ru smiles, "Yiyi understands me well, Aunt hasn't spoiled you for nothing."

"Xiao Hui, don't blame me for being too outspoken, Chen Xuan indeed cured Old Xiao's illness, but I just can't take to him, you don't have to persuade me."

"If you want me to accept him as a son-in-law, he has to truly achieve something substantial to convince me."

Zhang Hui shakes her head with a smile, "Sis, listen to yourself, Chen Xuan isn't becoming your son-in-law, I..."

"Mother, mother, quickly check if the water is boiling, I want to make tea for Aunt and Uncle." Xiao Dongshan interjects to interrupt Zhang Hui.

"You're standing there, can't you check yourself! Show some manners!" Zhang Hui glances at Dongzi.

At this moment, Xiao Yiyi feels extremely tense, not daring to relax for a moment, "Aunt, ignore my mom, let me show you my bedroom."

She pulls Zhang Ru to the bedroom, Zhang Hui wants to get up and follow but is stopped by Xiao Dongshan.

"Mom, please don't follow them."

Xiao Dongshan lowers his voice, "Aunt doesn't like brother-in-law Chen Xuan, so don't keep bringing him up around her."

"There's no need to make things unpleasant over such a small matter. Aunt is visiting after so long, no need to make it unhappy, right?"

"Alright, I won't mention it again." Zhang Hui doesn't say more.

Xiao Dongshan discreetly signals to Chen Xuan, who relaxes slightly.

At this critical moment, the little brother-in-law is very supportive, not messing things up.

However, before him are the two fathers-in-law, Lin Zhiguo and Xiao Wencheng, so he dares not be careless.

"Brother Lin, why doesn't my sister just take to Chen Xuan?"

"Where can you find such a good son-in-law?"

Xiao Wencheng shakes his head and chuckles, indirectly expressing discontent.

Lin Zhiguo sighs helplessly, "She's been like that for years, don't you know?"

"Looking at things too superficially! No matter how capable Chen Xuan is, if he hasn't shown it in his career, in your sister's eyes, it's nothing."

He then looks at Chen Xuan with a mildly apologetic smile, "Chen Xuan, it's been a bit unjust for you during this time at home."

"Not at all, I don't consider it an issue," Chen Xuan responds with a forced smile.

Xiao Wencheng chuckles, "Brother Lin, no matter how my sister views Chen Xuan, I approve of him greatly."

"Besides, he and Yiyi have already..."

Cough cough cough...

Chen Xuan interrupts Xiao Wencheng with a fit of coughs, "What's up, Chen Xuan, not feeling well?"

"Suddenly felt a breath problem, maybe caught a cold last night," Chen Xuan concocts an excuse, with a sheepish smile.

"Then you caught a chill from the air-conditioning," Xiao Wencheng says lightly, "Yiyi is careless, should have given you a blanket."

"It's nothing to do with Yiyi, she doesn't know how I sleep, haha." Chen Xuan smiles, sweating in his palms.

Xiao Dongshan, watching from the side, feels distressed for Chen Xuan, it's too tough on brother-in-law!

Thought the topic was straightened, but then Lin Zhiguo suddenly asks, "Wencheng, what did you say about Chen Xuan and Yiyi?"

Oh dear!

Why is this not ending yet!

Chen Xuan hastily replies without more thought, "Yiyi and I have a great relationship, we get along really well."

"Father-in-law, that's what it means."

This shout of "Father-in-law" is cleverly done, speaking to Xiao Wencheng while also seeming like he's explaining to Lin Zhiguo.

Neither of them sensed anything unusual.

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."

"I'm quite assured leaving Yiyi with Chen Xuan, haha."

Xiao Wencheng says with a smile.

"Yiyi is studying over there in Zhonghai, you can rest assured."

"Chen Xuan and Wanxi aren't outsiders, they'll surely take good care of Yiyi."

Lin Zhiguo says with a smile.

Xiao Wencheng nods and says, "Brother Lin, I'm thinking of letting them have a wedding after Yiyi graduates from university, what do you think?"

Phew!

Chen Xuan is instantly startled again, it's like every step is a hurdle, no way to get out of this situation, is there.

There's always a risk of exposure...
