Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 132 131. Father-in-law’s Birthday Party
Arrived at the airport at seven o'clock.

Han Xixi just got off the plane and got into the car fifteen minutes later.

Han Xixi came back alone this time, because she would only stay at home for one day and had to fly back to Haicheng tomorrow afternoon - "The Magic of Love" was a big hit, and her contract endorsement was successfully upgraded from B-level to A-level. Now she is a well-deserved first-line artist under Feihong Entertainment, so naturally she is very busy.

When she came back today, she got the vacation after promoting two activities.

The car drove towards Jili Garden.

Han Xixi was sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing that the bandage on Lin Xiao's forehead had been removed, she asked, "Is your injury healed?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Almost done!"

Han Xixi also nodded, feeling relieved.

However, the conversation between the young couple made Han Haijun in the back row confused!

"Xiao Lin, are you hurt?"

"Yes, Dad, it's just a minor injury, it's completely healed!"

Lin Xiao said.

Because the wound was on his forehead, he deliberately used his bangs to cover it after taking off the gauze, so it couldn't be seen unless you looked carefully.

Han Haijun chatted with him all the way, but he didn't notice anything.

Lin Xiao hurriedly explained the causes and consequences of his injury.

Han Haijun's face darkened immediately after hearing this: "Environmental protection is the bottom line of economic development and must not be breached. In order to prevent pollution, you resolutely shut down the high-energy-consuming and high-polluting enterprises in the town, which is right. The workers don't understand the national policies and only feel that they have lost their jobs. They are so angry that they gather in the town to make trouble, which is understandable! But beating up state employees is too much... How did your county deal with it in the end?"

Lin Xiao noticed his father-in-law's anger and quickly laughed.

"Dad, you're exaggerating. This wasn't an assault, it was just an accidental injury. It's a small matter and there's no need to report it to the county!"

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "When the workers saw me bleeding, they were all shocked and quickly dispersed. It's not easy for them either. The two ceramic factories have just resumed work in the past two days. They have lost several thousand yuan in half a month, so it's normal for them to be emotional!"

Han Haijun was a little surprised to hear him say this.

Even though he was injured and suffered, he still tried to make excuses for the workers who were causing trouble.

As a father-in-law, he admired this broad-mindedness very much.

"I just happened to talk to the head of the environmental inspection team yesterday!"

Han Haijun smiled approvingly, "They just checked Anyang County this week and found that all the data performed well. They also specifically mentioned your Chaobai Town, which ranked first in the county in terms of water quality and air quality indicators. It seems that you have done a solid job!"

Lin Xiao nodded: "It's all because our mayor is so strict!"

Han Haijun made a "tsk" sound and said, "You are the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection. If there is a problem, you will be held accountable. If there is an achievement, you don't have to push away the credit! As officials, we don't care about high moral integrity now, we only care about seeking truth from facts!"

Lin Xiao was educated: "Got it, Dad!"

The father-in-law and son-in-law became more and more excited as they talked, and couldn't stop talking about the topic.

As soon as Han Xixi got in the car, she asked Lin Xiao, "Are you healed?" and then she couldn't get another word in.

I couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

Because of Lin Xiao's words last Sunday, "I'll come next week", she had been looking forward to meeting him today for a long time. Who would have thought that now that she had met him as she wished, her father had said all the words.

At this time, I couldn't help but say, "Dad, you don't let others be upright, I think you are quite upright!"

Han Haijun was surprised: "How can I be so noble and upright?"

Han Xixi said angrily: "You obviously have a driver, but you insisted on asking Lin Xiao to go all the way to Yizhou to pick you up. Using your own car can save public fuel. Isn't this a noble act?"

Han Haijun listened with his eyes fixed.

I didn't expect that such an ordinary thing could have such a tricky interpretation.

But he understood in a flash: his daughter was clearly blaming him, her father, for being an eyesore and lighting up the car too brightly!
It turns out that my husband is right, girls are extroverts, and they don’t need their father anymore once they have a husband!
He couldn't help but laugh.

……

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the three of them returned to Jili Garden.

Liu Liyun prepared a large table of dishes and was getting impatient waiting for them.

Seeing them coming back, I couldn't help but complain: "Why are you here so late? I've been preparing dinner since the afternoon, and now the food on the table is cold!"

Han Xixi and Han Haijun had been submitting to Liu Liyun's tyranny for decades, and now as the main reason for their late return, they naturally stood at the door and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly explained: "Mom, it's my fault! It was raining outside and it was dark, so I didn't dare to drive too fast, which is why I was delayed..."

Hearing him say this, Liu Liyun was stunned.

He immediately changed his tone: "That's not your fault! It's really hard to drive in the rain, so safety is the most important thing! And it's okay to eat later. Dinner, dinner, the later it is, the better it tastes!"

As he said this, he smiled.

Such a rapid change of attitude caught Han Haijun and Han Xixi off guard, and they looked at each other.

The father and daughter had the same idea: I didn't expect that my wife (mom), who has been the boss at home for most of her life, is now being controlled by her son-in-law. It's true that there is always something that can conquer something!

The four of them were smiling happily.

Soon the table was served and the wine glasses were filled.

Liu Liyun raised her glass and said, "Today, thanks to Comrade Haijun, our family of four is finally reunited. I will take the lead in raising a glass and wish Comrade Han Haijun a happy birthday. May you have this day every year!"

"Happy birthday, Dad!"

Han Xixi and Lin Xiao said hurriedly.

The four of them clinked their glasses, and Han Haijun was all smiles, happy from the bottom of his heart.

We finished the first cup together.

Lin Xiao gave Han Xixi a look, and she hurried into the room. After a while, she came out with a box and handed it to Han Haijun with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Dad...this is for you!"

Xixi's tone was awkward, without any of the soft and delicate demeanor of a little girl.

Lin Xiao has always known that the relationship between them and his daughter is not as close as that of ordinary families, but it is unbelievable that a birthday gift could be given in such an awkward and stiff way!

On the other side, Han Haijun didn't notice anything at all and took the box with a look of surprise.

When I opened it, I found it was a waist massager.

Han Xixi said shyly, "You always complain about back pain... Put this in the office, take it out and press it every day... It should be helpful..."

Han Haijun's eyes were filled with tears.

Normally, when faced with all kinds of advances from people and temptations worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, he can easily fend them off.

But now, holding the gift worth thousands of dollars from my daughter, I don’t know what to say.

He stammered for a long time before saying, "Okay, okay, okay..."

Liu Liyun was really worried about the father and daughter.

I couldn't help but chime in: "Look how much your daughter misses you. She doesn't usually say it, but she's worried about you. She bought this and sent it home many days ago, and she didn't let me tell you, saying that she wanted to give you a surprise..."

Han Haijun laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.

While pointing the massager at his waist, he nodded with a silly smile: "I know, of course I know!"

This naive look really opened Lin Xiao's eyes. He didn't expect that his usually dignified father-in-law could have such a lovely side.

After waiting for a while, it was his turn to give a gift.

He had bought it earlier and put it in the car. He just walked in at the end and picked it up and put it at the door.

He took it out and said with a smile, "Dad, my gift is not as thoughtful as Xixi's. It is a hangover and stomach-nourishing tea. You often drink at work. Xixi said that usually at home, mom cooks you a hangover and stomach-nourishing soup.

"Now that you are in Yizhou and your mother is no longer around to take care of you, I think she is worried about you. I have studied this tea carefully and it is said to be very useful and convenient. You can make a cup for yourself after drinking. It will nourish your stomach and make you feel comfortable... It is Xixi and I's greatest wish that you take good care of your body!"

These words made Liu Liyun's eyes warm.

Han Haijun took it and said with emotion: "Okay, okay, Xiaolin is thoughtful..."

The atmosphere was a little sad for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Liu Liyun quickly spoke up to smooth things over, praising Lin Xiao and Xixi in every way possible, and the atmosphere became warm again.

After three rounds of drinking.

Lin Xiao, under the influence of alcohol, finally mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, Mom, there is actually something I want to confess to you..."

These words startled the couple, and they immediately looked a little nervous.

Han Xixi immediately knew what he was going to say.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Actually... the Ma Yao who wrote the song for Xixi before was me!"

This is a very important secret.

Since he chose to confess to Han Xixi, he naturally could not hide it from Han Haijun and Liu Liyun anymore.

But it’s different from facing Xixi.

The old couple have always been very sincere to him, but he has two faces, which makes them feel a little uneasy.

After saying this, he lowered his head and waited for their reaction.

However, after waiting for a long time, all I saw were the two people's honest smiles, without any surprise in their eyes.

"We knew it a long time ago!" Liu Liyun said with a smile.

"what?!"

This time, not only Lin Xiao was surprised, but even Han Xixi was stunned.

"You knew it a long time ago? How did you know?" Xixi asked in surprise.

"Last time you told me that you and Xiaolin wrote a song together, we knew it!"

Liu Liyun looked calm.

Han Xixi was puzzled: "How could that be? He can write songs, and he is Ma Yao, these are two completely different concepts..."

Liu Liyun rolled her eyes. "Before, I always felt strange that Ma Yao only wrote songs for you, and suspected that he had ulterior motives towards you! Last time, Xiao Lin suddenly said that he could play guitar and write songs, and I felt strange. Then I thought about it again, 'Ma Yao' put together is 'Xiao', the truth is clear!"

Han Xixi was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the answer was so simple.

In other words, the answer has always been simple, it’s just that parents are bystanders and can quickly restore the whole picture with just a few clues.

She was deeply involved in it and had the stereotype that Ma Yao was someone else, so even when Lin Xiao put the answer in front of her, she didn't think about it.

Now I realize it later. I found that I can't blame Lin Xiao, but only myself for being stupid!
Han Haijun said softly: "Before, your mother and I were always worried that you would be bullied and corrupted if you ventured into the entertainment industry alone! But now, we are completely relieved. You and Xiaolin have a stable relationship, and he is a great musician who can escort your career..."

He let out a long sigh and smiled contentedly, "I'm very content with my birthday and don't have any big wishes. Now I just hope that you two can live happily and smoothly, and live a good life in the future!"

Han Xixi was a little surprised to hear his father say these things.

When I looked up at him, I realized that his temples had turned gray, and my nose suddenly felt sore.

In fact, both father and daughter have the same rational thinking.

I am smart and wise when it comes to serious matters, but I get easily flustered when it comes to emotional moments like this, so I don’t know how to respond now.

I just felt my eyes getting hot.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly held her hand that was hanging under the table.

Palms touch and warmth is transferred.

The two of them exchanged glances, and any slight estrangement between them regarding Ma Yao's identity disappeared at this moment.

Love is transmitted to the palms.

The two clasped hands turned at the same time, and then opened their five fingers at the same time, tightly clasping each other like vines intertwined.

Lin Xiao said in a gentle voice: "Dad, Mom, I will protect Xixi for the rest of my life, don't worry!"

When the couple heard the promise, their hearts softened and they said yes repeatedly.

This birthday dinner was very warm and harmonious.

The birthday boy drank too much, which was rare.

Although Lin Xiao didn't drink much, he also felt dizzy.

Unable to drive and it was raining outside, he was naturally forced by his mother-in-law to stay overnight and was directly locked up in Han Xixi's room.

As soon as the door of the room was closed, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Even though they were holding hands and showing affection at the dinner table just now, they still couldn't stop feeling awkward.

"Old rules... I'll sleep on the floor!" Lin Xiao took the initiative and went to get a quilt from the cupboard.

As soon as the cabinet door was opened, Han Xixi spoke: "Well... just sleep on the bed!"

Lin Xiao turned around, his face full of surprise.

"???"

"Just sleep on the bed..." Han Xixi was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so she said it again.

"You mean, we both sleep in the bed?"

"...I can sleep on the floor, you can sleep alone..."

"That's not what I meant!"

Lin Xiao interrupted quickly.

My head was dizzy and I woke up for a long time but still didn't understand what Xixi meant.

When I looked up, I saw her standing in the dim light of the desk lamp wearing a fluffy pajamas, with her whole body covered with rough edges reflected by the light.

Looks soft and cute.

Lin Xiao walked over, put his hand around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms.

I couldn't help but think that my period came last week, so this week is actually the right time for me to...

Han Xixi became even more nervous, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him at all.

"Sleeping together... aren't you afraid that I will do something bad?" he asked.

"..."

Xixi was speechless and lowered her head even lower.

Lin Xiao smelled the faint scent of gardenia and felt a little confused. He lifted her chin and was about to kiss her.

Then it only touched the corner of her eye a little, and Xixi turned her face away in time.

"Ok?"

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and was very surprised: Why are you still hiding?

Han Xixi's whole body was burning hot.

Afraid that he would continue to act like a hooligan, I simply pushed his arms away and stood two steps away.

"What does this mean?" Lin Xiao asked.

“…You stink!”

Xixi frowned and said.

Lin Xiao quickly explained: "I brushed my teeth and washed my face!"

Xixi still shook her head: "That stinks too, it smells like alcohol!"

Lin Xiao: “…”

If I had known that such an important thing would happen tonight, I would have refused to drink a drop of alcohol at dinner even if it would make my parents-in-law unhappy!

Now this...

"Then a hug is okay, right?"

"..."

Xixi still shook her head, "You stink too!"

Lin Xiao was speechless: "Holding hands is okay?"

This time, it was a rare occasion that Xixi didn't refuse.

He took the initiative to come over, stretched out his cold and thin hand, and the two of them held hands very naturally.

Then Lin Xiao regretted it.

Such an intimate act is even more irresistible!
"Are you still mad at me?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Angry? Why?" Xixi asked puzzledly.

"Are you still angry with me about Ma Yao?"

"..."

Han Xixi laughed, her eyes innocent and her smile bright, "I said it the other day, I'm not angry... I just don't know how to face you all of a sudden, after all, I treated you as my senior before..."

As he said this, he scratched his forehead, feeling very embarrassed.

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to move closer: "What about now?"

Xixi smiled and said, "Not now, I can accept it... Lin Xiao is you, Haha is you, Ma Yao is also you!"

Lin Xiao smiled gently and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear.

"Now that you mention it, I really have quite a few vests!"

"No!"

Han Xixi pouted with a proud look on her face.

Even cuter!

Lin Xiao held her hand tighter and grinned, "Then I have another important vest that you didn't mention!"

"Huh? What?" Xixi raised her head curiously.

Lin Xiao leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Han Xixi's husband!"

As soon as a few words came out.

Han Xixi's eyes widened instantly, her whole body tensed up, and even her fingers, which were tightly clasped with Lin Xiao's, trembled.

When she met his eyes again, she felt indescribable shyness and coquettishness.

Her cheeks flushed, she pursed her lips, and glared at him angrily, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

"If you don't deny it, then you admit it?"

"..."

Xixi glared at him again and tried to shake her hand away angrily, but he held her hand tightly like an iron pair of pliers.

There is no way to break free!

She was shy, and Lin Xiao took advantage of the situation to hold her in his arms again, kissing her on the face unexpectedly.

Han Xixi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to move at all.

Lin Xiao became more and more aggressive, holding her tighter in his arms and demanding more.

However, this time, Han Xixi broke free in time and hid aside, breathing heavily.

Her cheeks were already like clouds at dusk in summer.

"You...if you do this again, I'll make you sleep on the floor!!"

Xixi warned breathlessly.

Lin Xiao was disheartened: "Then I'll just sleep on the floor!"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, if you make a move again, I will let you sleep on the floor..."

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I am a normal man, lying in bed with such a beautiful wife, but I have to resist touching her... Do you think this is reasonable?"

This sentence left Han Xixi speechless, and she stood there feeling more and more awkward and shy.

Lin Xiao stopped teasing her.

He carefully spread the bedding on the floor, then quickly got in and closed his eyes.

"Good night, wife!" he said.

"???"

Han Xixi's brows suddenly frowned, as if she was about to fall apart.

I thought angrily: Wasn't this person very serious before? How come he only knows how to take advantage of others now?
