Chen Xuan didn't hold back and used the opportunity to lightly brush Xiao Yiyi's hand with his thumb.
I have to say, her little hand is soft and boneless, with very smooth skin.
"Are you two going to keep shaking hands forever?" Lin Wanxi frowned slightly.
Only then did Chen Xuan happily let go of her hand without responding.
Xiao Yiyi gave Chen Xuan a wicked smile and lowered her voice, "Brother-in-law, you're quite the tease!"
"You even dare to touch my hand in front of my cousin."
What the heck!
This cheeky girl!
Daring to reverse the blame like this!
I must punish her harshly!
Lin Wanxi had already gone to open the car door, leaving the two of them behind.
Pa!
Chen Xuan raised his hand and, in a flash, slapped Xiao Yiyi's perky rear.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Yiyi winced in pain and turned to look at Chen Xuan, "You dare hit me there?"
A sly smile appeared on her face immediately, "So how did it feel, brother-in-law? Is it bouncy enough for you?"
Uh...
Chen Xuan felt a twinge in his teeth; she's not just a little sprite, she's a little seductress!
To be precise, she has the looks of a sprite with the nature of a seductress!
Since that's the case, there's no need for him to play the upright gentleman.
"It felt pretty good, and if you don't behave, I'll hit you again." Chen Xuan grinned roguishly.
Hehehe...
Xiao Yiyi blinked and smiled, "Addicted now, huh? Aren't you afraid my cousin won't let you into bed tonight?"
"Are you two that familiar? Get in the car already!" Lin Wanxi frowned even more, annoyed that the two wouldn't stop chatting.
Xiao Yiyi stuck out her tongue at Chen Xuan, swaying her pigtails as she ran to the car.
Chen Xuan shook his head with a chuckle; what a cheeky and cute little girl.
...
That evening, a table full of sumptuous dinner was spread out.
Lin Zhiguo raised his wine glass with a smile, "Today is a doubly joyful day for our family."
"Chen Xuan, from now on, we are family, and you should call me father-in-law."
"Come, let's have a drink, the two of us."
"Sure, Father-in-law, please." Chen Xuan smiled and raised his glass in acknowledgment.
Zhang Ru smiled warmly, "Chen Xuan, your medical skills are so impressive; which medical university did you graduate from?"
"I never attended a formal medical school." Chen Xuan smiled as he replied.
Hmm?
Zhang Ru looked surprised, "Then where did you learn these medical skills?"
"I studied under my master for three years." Chen Xuan answered truthfully.
Only studied for three years?
The smile on Zhang Ru's face gradually faded, "So which hospital do you work at? What's your position there?"
"Mother-in-law, I don't work at a hospital; for the past three years, I've been working as a chauffeur." Chen Xuan didn't seem embarrassed at all.
Ugh...
Zhang Ru's face completely dropped; she had thought Chen Xuan's medical skills were so extraordinary that he must be a department head at some major hospital.
The reality was... completely contrary to her expectations.
Her eyes were full of disappointment.
Such a person, what qualification does he have to be her son-in-law!
Might as well be called useless!
The previous treatment of Lin Zhiguo was a fluke!
"So all this time, you're just a mediocre talent; I thought you were a well-known physician."
"Wasted this whole table of good food! What a waste of feelings!"
Zhang Ru immediately showed her displeasure, not caring about Chen Xuan's face at all, "Chen Xuan, since you cured Wanxi's father's illness, we are reasonable people."
"We'll give you three hundred thousand as a treatment fee, and you can proceed with the divorce with my daughter tomorrow."
Lin Zhiguo didn't see it that way and said in displeasure, "What are you talking about? Chen Xuan just got his certificate with Wanxi, and now you're talking about divorce; aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock!"
He then looked at Chen Xuan, smiled and said, "Chen Xuan, don't mind her; your mother-in-law is not very bright, but I have faith in you."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Father-in-law." Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
Zhang Ru snorted, stood up, and left the dinner table, no longer in the mood to eat.
Chen Xuan didn't mind it at all; he realized that this opportunistic mother-in-law also had a snobbish side.
Thinking he was just a down-and-out poor boy and looking down on him as a son-in-law.
Xiao Yiyi continued eating as if nothing around her mattered.
However, she secretly threw a knowing smile at Chen Xuan.
Lin Wanxi quietly whispered to Chen Xuan, "My dad thinks highly of you; he's really pleased!"
"I don't think that's what matters; the issue is how to sleep tonight?"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Now that I'm officially licensed, don't expect me to be a gentleman like last night in any similar situation."
Lin Wanxi immediately gritted her teeth, glared at him viciously, "You're sleeping in the living room! Don't even think about stepping into my bedroom!"
She stood up and went upstairs, locking the bedroom door behind her.
"I'm heading back to my room too." Xiao Yiyi got up, gave Chen Xuan a sympathetic smile, and walked away from the dinner table.
Lin Zhiguo said with a laugh, "Don't worry, I have a spare key here."
"You just go and sleep in Wanxi's room; she won't actually kick you out. With your father-in-law backing you, there's nothing to worry about!"
Goodness!
This father-in-law is quite open-minded!
Chen Xuan was very impressed with Lin Zhiguo, "Come, Father-in-law, let me toast you again."
The two of them drank for another ten minutes, and Chen Xuan took the spare key to Lin Wanxi's bedroom.
"Lin Wanxi, I'm going to stick by you and see who can't hold out tonight!"
Chen Xuan's smile was playful and wicked as he used the key to open the bedroom door...
