Chapter 320: Chapter 320: eting the Son-in-law
That night, the Liang Family arranged for Xi Wanfen and Liang Zhanbai to stay in the sa room.
Xi Wanfen wasn’t sure if this was appropriate, after all, she hadn’t married yet and was already staying at the man’s house.
Moreover, she and Liang Zhanbai had not yet been intimate.
But even though she had this question in her mind, she didn’t ask anyone. Her parents didn’t know she was there, and asking Su ixi would seem like she couldn’t make up her own mind.
After all, she was still single from birth, and had been curious about such things for a long ti.
By the ti they got ho it was the middle of the night, and because they had eaten too much, they couldn’t sleep for a while.
After taking a shower, both of them got into bed awkwardly.
Although Xi Wanfen had no experience, Liang Zhanbai did; in college, he had briefly dated a girlfriend who, in her junior year, went to another university as an exchange student. They broke up due to the long-distance relationship.
Once in bed, Liang Zhanbai couldn’t wait to proceed with embracing Xi Wanfen.
Since it was Xi Wanfen’s first ti, she was very nervous, clutching the quilt tightly.
A sleepless night.
Perhaps as a first tir, every day Xi Wanfen thought about it, she would feel sweetness, so she didn’t think much about other things, only wanting to rent a house and live sweetly together with Liang Zhanbai after returning.
The several older sisters from the Liang Family only visited twice, after all, there was plenty to do at the mother-in-law’s place, and children had to go to kindergarten and such, they couldn’t revolve around their parental ho every day.
At ho, the only person doing the chores was Mrs. Liang.
Watching Mrs. Liang busy all day long, having to mop the floor and cook and shop for groceries, one evening, Mr. Liang said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Mrs. Liang imdiately went to prepare hot water and clean underwear for him.
Xi Wanfen felt it was odd; Mr. Liang spent every day lounging on the couch browsing short videos, why did his wife have to fetch underwear for him when he took a shower?
She rembered what her parents and Sister Su had said: Liang Zhanbai’s family has too many sisters, and they feared she would suffer if she married into it.
Her father’s concerns were not unreasonable; if one day Mrs. Liang couldn’t do the chores, who would do them? In a family that favors males over females, it would definitely be the daughter-in-law’s responsibility.
Wouldn’t she die of exhaustion if she had to take care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and also look after her husband and children and do the household chores?
“Xiao Fen, what’s wrong with you?”
That night, seeing that Xi Wanfen was not in high spirits, Liang Zhanbai couldn’t help but ask.
Leaning into his arms, Xi Wanfen said: “Zhan Bai, I an, if we get married, will you take care of ?”
“Of course, if I don’t take care of you, whom will I take care of?” Liang Zhanbai asked with a smile.
“But after getting married, there will be housework, what if neither of us knows how to do it?” Xi Wanfen asked.
“We can learn,” Liang Zhanbai said, leaning in to kiss her.
“Then promise that you won’t dump all the housework on later on.”
“Am I that kind of person?” Liang Zhanbai asked.
Xi Wanfen was already pinned down by him, and she laughed: “Then I shall trust you for now.”
…
After their experiences in bed, they rented an apartnt not long after returning to Yun City.
Xi Wanfen also ca clean to Li Shirui: “Mom, my boyfriend and I rented a place outside, I plan to move out and live there.”
“You’ve already rented a place?” Li Shirui was surprised.
Indeed, the more they were told not to date, the faster their relationship progressed.
Left with no choice, Li Shirui decided: “Your boyfriend, whenever he’s free, ask him to co over for a al.”
Xi Wanfen was over the moon: “Mom, you’ll definitely like him, I can guarantee it.”
*
Su ixi received a WeChat ssage from Li Shirui, asking if she had ti to co over for a al on the weekend, saying that Xi Wanfen had a boyfriend and wanted her to co over and offer so advice.
After the last al, Su ixi had re-added Li Shirui and Xi Huarong.
Anyway, they were neither very close nor particularly strangers, just like ordinary relatives, similar to the relationship with an uncle and aunt.
Seeing the WeChat sent by Li Shirui, Su ixi’s first reaction was to decline.
She made up an excuse, saying that she had to be on duty that day.
Gu Wei, who was nearby, couldn’t help but laugh and ask: “Why don’t you want to go?”
Su ixi shook her head: “Such a big event, I don’t want to get involved in the discussion. My parents aren’t very satisfied with Xiao Fen’s boyfriend to begin with; if I go, it’ll seem too ceremonious. Let them satisfy their curiosity first; we can get involved afterward.”
Gu Wei playfully nudged her nose: “Always so spirited and clever.”
“Better not to ddle in too many affairs, right? They’re older, have more experience, and they’re definitely better at judging people. Not like —I only look at appearances and educational background. If those pass, I don’t consider anything else, and that’s where you can easily make a loss.”
Gu Wei hugged her: “Marrying , you certainly won’t suffer a loss, right?”
“Hit the jackpot,” Su ixi humored his little ego.
The two got lovey-dovey for a while before Gu Wei carried her back to the room.
Ever since he changed his position, he would co ho as long as he wasn’t on a business trip, no matter how late.
The more often he was at ho, the more he would dote on Su ixi.
His physical strength may not be what it was a few years ago, but compared to the average man, he was still very robust. Su ixi was often left so worn out by his affections that she could barely get out of bed the next day.
She complained incessantly; every ti he would promise not to tire her out that night, but when night ca, he couldn’t resist teasing her.
However, no matter how much they romped, there was still no sign of a baby for Su ixi, her period was always on ti.
…
Finally, Xi Wanfen brought Liang Zhanbai ho for dinner.
Xi Wanfen was in the throes of passionate love, having discovered the pleasures of romance, so her mind was filled with nothing but Liang Zhanbai.
Thus, she was bubbly and exuberant all the way ho.
Liang Zhanbai was a bit nervous: “Xiao Fen, I heard that your dad is a high-ranking official?”
Xi Wanfen laughed: “What high-ranking official? Didn’t I tell you? He’s just a regular civil servant, albeit with seniority.”
That’s what Li Shirui had taught her since childhood, to not tell outsiders what her father’s job was, and just say he’s a civil servant if asked.
Xi Wanfen rembered it well.
When she went to Liang Zhanbai’s house, she said the sa thing. Liang Zhanbai didn’t know Xi Huarong’s exact official position. Besides, he wasn’t dating Xi Wanfen to climb the social ladder; he genuinely liked her.
It was his first visit and he couldn’t be negligent, so he bought a lot of gifts.
That day, only Xi Huarong and Li Shirui were there, sitting on the couch. Xi Huarong seed sowhat stern, while Li Shirui, although gentle and friendly, actually maintained a reserved facade.
Considering their daughter’s lifelong matter, they naturally couldn’t be negligent.
Fortunately, Liang Zhanbai wasn’t soone unaccustod to the world; he wasn’t intimidated, he followed all the proper etiquette upon entering, calling them uncle and auntie, and introduced himself as well.
However, the fact that the Xi Family had a housemaid serving tea and water, and the maid’s extraordinary deanor, made him feel the disparity.
Further observing Xi Wanfen’s parents’ aura and deanor, he couldn’t quite believe they were just ordinary civil servants.
“Zhanbai works at the Chinese Hospital, right? You studied Chinese dicine?” Xi Huarong asked.
