Chapter 496: The Worried Father-In-Law

“You just got home?”

“There was a little banquet today. Xu Ning and I attended it.” Gu Xie took off his coat slowly and removed his cufflinks. He slightly held the sleeves of his white shirt. From Lin Xiaojuan’s perspective, a man dressed in a white shirt was sitting in front of her like a piece of warm jade.

Lin Xiaojuan looked until her face felt a little warm. She touched her ears embarrassingly. So hot!

Looking at him taking off his clothes through the video made her feel that he was very seductive. The problem was he had only taken off his coat.

“Was the banquet fun?”

“Boring.”

“Even though it was boring, you still came home so late.”

“Next time, I will try to be home earlier.” Gu Xie’s posture showed that he would listen to whatever she said.

“... ” Lin Xiaojuan was at a loss for words.

Movie King, did you misunderstand what I said?

“How was your parents’ anniversary?”

“It was rather good. Qianshu, Tong Hua, my parents, and I had a meal together. They have always been low profile. In the past years, I had been going home to accompany them. However, recently, I was too busy and could not find the time to go back. Hence, they came over. My dad even drank until he was completely drunk.” Lin Xiaojuan smiled.

Gu Xie took off his watch slowly. He looked like he was hesitating a little. “Did they ask about me?”

He was, after all, a world-renowned movie king and was very famous. Taking into account the age of Lin Xiaojuan’s parents, although they were not considered his movie fans, they might have watched his movies before.

“They asked.”

Gu Xie looked at her with interest. “What did they say?”

Lin Xiaojuan was too embarrassed to tell the truth. “They said you were rather good but didn’t talk too much.”

Gu Xie smiled. It was rare for her to see him smiling. Gu Xie was a very gentle person in front of her. When he smiled, he looked very good like the spring breeze stroking his face. Those elegant and graceful nobles in the historical television dramas were not even a match for his smile.

Lin Xiaojuan’s face and ears turned red. She could not control the corners of her lips. “I want to go... sleep!”

Gu Xie replied. “Sweet dreams.”

“Goodnight.”

“Oh right, tomorrow, I will pick you up. Let’s go watch a musical together.”

“Sure!”

Lin Xiaojuan hung up the video call and patted her face. Suddenly, she heard some movement in the living room. She opened the door and went out. Lin Kun was sitting on the sofa in the living room, which was filled with smoke. He had sobered up and looked a little miserable. There were already five or six cigarette butts in the ashtray.

“Dad, are you feeling miserable after sobering up?” Lin Xiaojuan went to the kitchen, poured a cup of sober tea, and brought it out. When she came back, she had made the sober tea. She brought the tea out and took away the cigarette from his hand. “You are not allowed to smoke anymore.”

“Xiaojuan, daddy is feeling miserable.” Lin Kun’s eyes were red, and he looked like he was going to cry. He held Xiaojuan’s hand. “Can you promise daddy not to meet Gu Xie?”

“When I entered high school, you encouraged me to find a boyfriend. This year, I am already 26. Why won’t you let me?”

Her father was a very open-minded person and had never said she was not allowed to be in a relationship. Other people’s parents had prohibited them from being in a relationship at an early age, but her father told her to choose one when she was in high school and slowly develop their relationship.

Lin Kun was not happy. “You are disobedient.”

“If it is a reasonable request, I will definitely obey it,” Lin Xiaojuan said.

“You are lying. You obviously said that things had not taken shape yet. If so, then don’t meet him.”

“Something taking shape is a very quick matter.”

Lin Kun stared at her. Lin Xiaojuan smiled and seemed as if she was pacifying a child. “Alright, dad. Drink up the tea and go to bed.”

Lin Kun drank the sober tea obediently and went to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, when Shen Qianshu and little Tong Hua went back to Rose Castle, it was rather late. Ye Ling was in the living room discussing something with Zhong Ran. On the other side, Burger was crouching on the sofa and was extremely cute. Once Little Tong Hua reached home, he shouted, “Burger, little Master is home!”
