The Crazy Son-In-Law

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shun raised his eyebrows smugly. “Heh, this is just the interest. The main event is tonight. After all, perverts and wolves are both nocturnal animals!” Talking to himself, he started the car and drove away.

At 7 PM, Hilton Hotel. Xiao Shun chose a table by the window, lit a cigarette, and waited for his wife to arrive. Halfway through his cigarette, a stunning figure appeared before him. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes as deep as ink, resembling an immortal fallen to earth.

Yao Cen glared angrily at Xiao Shun, who was waving at her, and walked lightly to the table and sat down. Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled and said, “Still angry?” “Hmph!” Yao Cen pouted and turned her pretty face away. Such a cute expression was rare for her before. But since she got intimate with Xiao Shun, her personality had subtly changed. She was no longer as reserved as before but more like a woman who loved to act spoiled.

After all, even the strongest woman needs love to nourish her. Especially with her husband, she felt no need to hide her emotions. Happy when happy, angry when angry.

At this moment, Xiao Shun reached out and covered Yao Cen’s hand sincerely. “We’ve been together for so long but rarely have time to dine alone. You were busy before; now it’s my turn.” Indeed, their alone time was scarce. Most of the time, they were surrounded by family, leaving little private space for them.

Under her husband’s affectionate gaze, Yao Cen’s anger dissipated instantly. She held his warm hand tightly in return, unable to hold back her emotions. “I’ve handed over the business in Harrow and Stillwater. We’ll have plenty of time together from now on.” Hearing this, Xiao Shun was taken aback. “You’re handing over all the company’s affairs?”

“Of course,” Yao Cen nodded with a smile. “We’ve paved all the roads; we just need a reliable manager to oversee things. Wang Tianming and Xiaomei are handling Harrow; Stillwater is managed by employees who have been with me since the beginning. There’s nothing to worry about.”

She was once a workaholic but also a woman who had achieved success in her career. Since Starline Bio acquired Tan’s Group, its market value had exceeded billions of dollars. Yao Cen’s personal assets were also in the billions-a monumental achievement for any woman.

Having gained fame and fortune, she now preferred to be a good wife. This morning she went out early to buy groceries and prepared a table full of dishes for her husband. But after waiting half a day, he didn’t show up. To make matters worse, Xiao Shun’s phone was unreachable!

This explained why Yao Cen was so furious on the phone earlier.

Seeing his wife’s intention to retire from work and enjoy life, Xiao Shun had no objections and said softly, “I’ll support any decision you make!” Yao Cen smiled playfully and glanced at Xiao Shun mischievously. “This way, I can accompany you wherever you go in the future. Do you know how many trips you’ve made while in Harrow for over a month?”

“Uh…” Xiao Shun found it hard to answer this question.

As they chatted, the waiter served their meal. Today, Xiao Shun was in a romantic mood and had prepared a bottle of red wine in advance. Once the dishes were served, he uncorked the bottle and poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Yao Cen across the table.

Seeing this, Yao Cen gave him a flirtatious glance with slightly flushed cheeks.

This rascal isn’t planning to get me drunk first…?

Thinking this made her face feel hot and her eyes dreamy.

Xiao Shun noticed her unusual expression and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?” “N-nothing!” Yao Cen shook her head shyly and took a sip from her glass.

Curious about his wife’s reaction, Xiao Shun raised his glass in a toast from afar.

“I’m planning to go to the Southwest tomorrow; let’s go together!” Xiao Shun suggested.

“Tomorrow?” Yao Cen looked troubled.

“Do you have plans?” Xiao Shun asked puzzledly.

Yao Cen nodded and explained, “Yesterday while shopping with Mom, she mentioned wanting to travel abroad. We’ve never taken our parents on a trip since we got married, so I agreed.”

“Can’t we go another time? I have important business in the Southwest,” Xiao Shun probed cautiously.

The Riverdale Martial Arts Conference was just ten days away. His plan was to visit the Southwest first and then head straight to Riverdale to gauge the overall level of martial artists there compared to those inland.

After pondering for a moment, Yao Cen replied, “If it’s important business for you, I’ll take Mom and Dad myself.”

Xiao Shun was stunned by his wife’s newfound understanding nature. Previously she would never let him off so easily.

But now she’s considering my situation?

Wow! This is surprising!

“Are you sure?” he emphasized.

Yao Cen’s expression changed instantly upon hearing that.

“Why do you talk so much? If you keep nagging, you’ll stay home with us instead of going anywhere!”

Indeed, even a tigress has its moments of fierceness.

Xiao Shun wisely kept silent at this point.

Yao Cen put down her knife and fork and shared her travel plans.

“I plan to take Mom and Dad south for about ten days.”

Xiao Shun brightened up immediately. “I’ll be heading to Riverdale in about ten days; how about we meet there?”

Yao Cen looked at him suspiciously.

“What are you going there for?”

Xiao Shun dodged the question slightly: “I want to promote our martial arts school by investing in a related film project. I’ve already discussed cooperation with Mr. and Mrs. Xiang in Eastbrook; we’re just finalizing details in Riverdale.”

“How did you get connected with them?” Yao Cen’s expression turned serious as she stared sharply at Xiao Shun.

Then she exclaimed angrily: “So you went to Eastbrook to see Mo Yibai and lied about handling business!”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Xiao Shun was speechless: “Come on! Mo Yibai was doing live streaming for our company then; how could she be in Eastbrook?”

“Ahem…” Yao Cen coughed awkwardly twice-she had indeed forgotten that detail due to worry earlier.

She pressed further: “If not her then how did you connect with Riverdale?”
