"Xixi, this is a bit complicated to explain, you're still young and won't understand. Let your father explain it to Grandpa and Grandma slowly."
"It's late, let's go to the hotel and sleep."
"Auntie, Uncle, see you tomorrow."
After Xu Mengyao finished speaking, she hugged Lin Xixi and quickly left the ward.
"Mommy, did I say something wrong?"
Lin Xixi's voice faintly drifted from the corridor.
Lin Hai and Chen Mei stared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen closed the door, and Chen Mei immediately said, "Son, what's the relationship between you and Mengyao now?"
Lin Chen coughed lightly and said, "For Xixi's sake, Mengyao and I haven't planned to get married in the past few years. So I suggested we just get a marriage certificate, and she agreed."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei were stunned. This was possible?
Wasn't their son just tricking Xu Mengyao into marrying him?
"Mom, Dad, what are you looking at? I just tricked her into getting a certificate, I haven't swindled her out of money or her body."
"We did a prenuptial agreement before getting the certificate, and I haven't done anything improper since. Mengyao had a traumatic experience before and has psychological issues, so I can only let her accept me slowly."
Lin Chen pouted.
Lin Hai asked, "Have your relationship progressed?"
Lin Chen: "We're at the hand-holding stage. She calls me husband in some situations, and she doesn't object when I call her wife."
"We will definitely be together, but it will take time."
Chen Mei nodded: "We understand psychological illnesses. Old Man Li at the head of the village would get a headache whenever he heard firecrackers."
Lin Hai nodded slightly.
He sighed softly: "He participated in the war before, and his comrades fell one by one beside him, even blown to pieces. That kind of cruel scene is unimaginable for us."
Chen Mei looked at Lin Chen and said: "Son, you're both married now, and your relationship has progressed. So, is it okay for us to prepare a red envelope for Mengyao?"
"I wonder if she'll accept it?"
Lin Chen smiled: "Mengyao should accept it."
Chen Mei nodded: "That's good."
Lin Hai: "I have two more questions. The house is being rebuilt, and the old house has been demolished. We usually stay at your uncle's place. Where will Mengyao and the others stay?"
"Also, do you want to introduce her to the family?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment: "She and Xixi are staying at a hotel."
"They're here to visit you, Dad. No need to see the relatives for now. We'll introduce her after the wedding."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei nodded.
It was indeed inconvenient with the house being rebuilt.
"Son, Mengyao's family..."
Chen Mei was a little worried.
Xu family is super rich, would they object to them being together? She's seen plenty of those scenarios in TV dramas.
Lin Chen laughed, "I've met her parents, they can't wait for Mengyao and me to get married right now."
Chen Mei and Lin Hai's eyes lit up.
In that case, there wouldn't be many obstacles to Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao being together, the only one being Xu Mengyao's illness.
"Son, then hurry up."
"The house can be built in three or four months, then you can get married."
Lin Hai said with a smile.
Lin Chen nodded, "Mengyao is gradually recovering, in three or four months, I think she should be about seventy or eighty percent recovered."
They didn't need to be fully recovered before the wedding banquet, but at least they had to be well enough to kiss.
Otherwise, if people at the wedding egged them on to kiss, and they couldn't, it would be a bit awkward.
Chen Mei: "Son, we understand the situation. You go quickly. Go see how Mengyao and the others are doing. Mengyao and Xixi came all this way to be here."
"Okay."
Lin Chen nodded and left.
The hotel Liang Ye booked wasn't far.
Lin Chen arrived at the hotel within fifteen minutes. "Dad!"
"Can you tell me a story?"
Little Xixi asked happily.
Lin Chen picked up Xixi, kissed her, and said, "Of course! But it's late tonight. Daddy will tell you three stories, and then you'll go to sleep, okay?"
"Mmhmm."
Soon, Lin Chen began to tell Xixi stories.
Xu Mengyao went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The sound of water trickling out made Lin Chen's mind wander a bit.
Before the third story was finished, Xixi had fallen asleep. Xu Mengyao came out of the bathroom.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao.
"Wife, you're really beautiful."
Xu Mengyao's pretty face flushed visibly, and she chided coquettishly, "Smooth talker, you're not a good person."
Lin Chen walked towards Xu Mengyao, "I'm a bad person, so shouldn't I do something that fits the role?"
"You... don't you dare mess around."
Xu Mengyao's expression was a little flustered. "I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Chen stopped. He was just trying to scare Xu Mengyao; surely he wouldn't forcibly hug and kiss her?
"What is it?"
Lin Chen sat down on the sofa and asked.
Xu Mengyao said, "Let's buy a house in the county. If Xixi misses her grandparents, she'll have a place to stay. Staying in a hotel isn't as convenient as being at home."
"You're a good cook. Make something delicious to nourish your uncle."
Lin Chen nodded, "Sounds good to me."
Now there were no restrictions on buying property, so they could buy houses freely. The county's housing prices were low, and a house wouldn't cost much.
Xu Mengyao said, "I've found one I like. It's only a little over two million."
"What?"
Lin Chen was taken aback, "What kind of place are you looking at? The housing prices in our county should only be about three or four thousand yuan per square meter now."
Xu Mengyao said, "It's a three-hundred-square-meter apartment, and the renovations are very nice. The landlord finished the renovations but hasn't moved in yet. They're selling the house because of a problem with their business's cash flow."
"The landlord's been trying to sell it for half a year, so the formaldehyde should have dissipated enough to live there."
She took out her phone and showed Lin Chen.
The real estate agent had uploaded a lot of photos of the house. The renovations did look pretty good, and it didn't seem like a poorly-done flip.
"With such a large area, the landlord probably spent a lot on the renovations," Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen nodded. "If we're buying it to live in and not thinking about selling it later, then it's still a good deal."
Xu Mengyao said, "We don't need to sell it. If we buy it, your parents will have a place to stay if they go to the county for medical treatment or anything else in the future."
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen nodded: "I'll go take a look tomorrow morning. If it's suitable, I'll buy it. Then you can bring my parents over directly."
"If it's not suitable, I'll look for another house."
Xu Mengyao said, "You're buying a house and a shop. You probably don't have much money left, right? I'll buy this house since I'm the one who looked at it."
Lin Chen laughed: "If the daughter-in-law pays for the house in full, do you think my parents will feel comfortable living there?"
"Then we'll split it fifty-fifty."
Xu Mengyao thought for a moment.
Lin Chen nodded: "That's fine. Mengyao, let's not worry about buying a house for now. Where am I sleeping?"
"This is a suite, we could all sleep in it."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She said, annoyed, "I booked a room for you next door. Just go to the front desk to get the key card."
Lin Chen said seriously, "Even though you're rich, you should still be thrifty. Save where you can, and spend where you should."
"It's not necessary to spend this money."
"We can all fit on one bed."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
