While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Why did it take you so long?"

Meng Qingyao, who was in the car, had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Lin Feng return, she casually asked him something.

"Something came up and I was held up!"

Lin Feng didn't mention seeing Qin Xiao. He opened the car door, got in, and placed the camouflage backpack containing his comrade's belongings on the back seat.

"Is that all you have?"

Meng Qingyao looked at the military camouflage backpack with some curiosity and asked.

"Yes, with my wife here, how could I lack food, clothing, or anything else?"

Lin Feng said, half-jokingly.

"Pah, can you please stop being so shameless? Who talks about being a kept man so casually as if it's perfectly natural..."

Meng Qingyao was still a little uncomfortable with Lin Feng's intimate way of addressing her, but since she was the one who proposed the marriage and the two had already registered their marriage, there was nothing wrong with it no matter what.

So, Meng Qingyao blushed slightly and spat lightly, but ultimately did not stop Lin Feng.

"That's right, I have a bad stomach, so I have to eat more soft food!"

Lin Feng smiled, looked at Meng Qingyao in the passenger seat whose ears were red, and thought for a moment before saying, "If you're not comfortable with that, I can use a different way of addressing you."

"No need, you'll have to get used to it sooner or later."

Meng Qingyao pursed her lips and said softly.

"OK!"

Lin Feng nodded, glanced at the time—it was almost noon—and then asked, "Shall we go straight to the Meng family now, or find a place to have lunch first?"

"Let's eat first, I..."

Meng Qingyao paused for a moment, then said with a hint of bitterness, "I'm afraid that once we get back to the Meng family, we won't be in the mood to eat!"

Clearly, upon returning to the Meng family, he will inevitably face difficulties and questioning from the elders of the Meng family.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Lin Feng showed no sign of panic at meeting his elders. He calmly started the car and drove towards the city.

On the other side, in a spacious and quiet field.

When Qin Xiao returned, his wife Zhang Qian was tidying up the picnic mat and tent on the ground.

"Honey, why did you take so long? How is it? Is anyone inside?"

When Zhang Qian saw her husband return, she couldn't help but complain irritably, "You finally managed to get a vacation to relax, how could you leave your wife here all alone?"

"No, not even a ghost!"

Qin Xiao answered without changing his expression, but deep down he felt an extremely suppressed excitement.

"Are you injured? How did you get hurt?"

Zhang Qian also noticed the bloodstains on Qin Xiao's chest and hurriedly asked worriedly.

"I bumped into something, it's nothing, just a superficial injury! It's getting late, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat."

Qin Xiao gave an awkward smile and offered no explanation.

"All you ever think about is eating! You're such a grown-up, how can you be so careless? So clumsy! Come on, get in the car, I'll put some medicine on it for you."

While Zhang Qian was saying this, she was actually wondering to herself. She knew her man's skills, so how could he have suddenly bumped into something?

Although she knew there was something strange about the matter, Zhang Qian was a smart woman. Since Qin Xiao wouldn't say anything, there must be a reason why he wouldn't. She didn't ask any more questions, but just urged Qin Xiao to go to the car to bandage his wound.

Qin Xiao chuckled and didn't say anything more.

……

Around 1 p.m., Lin Feng and Meng Qingyao randomly found a restaurant and had lunch. After lunch, they bought Lin Feng a few more sets of clothes, since his current clothes did look rather shabby.

This left Lin Feng both amused and exasperated; he hadn't changed into new clothes when he got his marriage certificate, but now he was wearing new ones.

Then, the two did not delay any longer and drove towards the Meng family's old house.

During this time, Meng Qingyao's phone rang more than a dozen times, but she hung up on each one.

"Did your family call you?"

"Yes! I posted our marriage certificate on my WeChat Moments."

"No wonder!"

Lin Feng touched his nose.

Aren't you nervous?

Seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, Meng Qingyao was a little curious.

"This is nothing. Do you think the Meng family is more dangerous than the battlefield?"

Lin Feng gripped the steering wheel and chuckled to himself.

Meng Qingyao opened her mouth but didn't say anything more. She only hoped that her husband, whom she had picked up halfway through life, would remain as calm as he was now once he arrived at the Meng family.

Speechless all the way.

The Meng family's old residence is located in the famous Songwan Villa District of Minghai City. Although it is not the most expensive place in Minghai City, it is still among the top three.

Not all members of the Meng family live here. It's just that the patriarch of the Meng family, Meng Yuanhe, lives here, so the Meng family gathers here for any important events.

After arriving at the Meng family villa and parking the car, Lin Feng and Meng Qingyao got out.

Lin Feng could clearly sense Meng Qingyao's nervousness.

He didn't say anything, but silently took Meng Qingyao's hand. This woman's palms were sweaty.

The moment their hands clasped together, Meng Qingyao's body trembled slightly, and her hands became incredibly stiff.

"Relax! You're acting like we're not a married couple! Besides, we did such intimate things last night, why are you getting so nervous now?"

Lin Feng gently comforted her.

"No...it's different!"

Meng Qingyao smiled bitterly. Last night, under the influence of the drugs, she was completely out of control and acted entirely out of her primal instincts. But now, she was in such intimate contact with a man while she was fully conscious.

After taking a few deep breaths, Meng Qingyao finally managed to relax a little: "Let's go!"

And so, the two walked hand in hand toward the entrance of the Meng family villa.

At this moment, a figure was already standing at the entrance of the Meng family villa. He was a young man who looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and looked very refined.

This person was clearly waiting for Meng Qingyao on purpose.

"Yaoyao, why did it take you so long to get here?"

Seeing Meng Qingyao and Lin Feng walking over so intimately, the young man sighed with a helpless expression.

"Big brother!"

Upon hearing the young man's voice, Meng Qingyao's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. After her chest heaved a few times, she pulled Lin Feng to the young man and pushed him forward, saying, "Lin Feng, this is my older brother, Meng Jingran... Brother, this is my... husband, Lin Feng!"

"I already know!"

Meng Jingran smiled wryly, a slight reproach in his voice: "Little sister, you acted impulsively this time. Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell the family. Grandpa... he's very angry!"

After speaking, Meng Jingran took a closer look at Lin Feng and frowned slightly when he saw the scar on Lin Feng's forehead.

"Hello, elder brother!"

Lin Feng didn't hesitate and immediately released Meng Qingyao, extending his hand towards Meng Jingran.

"Um!"

Meng Jingran politely extended his hand to shake Lin Feng's and nodded, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised by Lin Feng's behavior.

Regardless, the Meng family is a well-known family in Minghai City, and he entered the system at a young age. He should have some presence. However, his brother-in-law was neither humble nor arrogant. This demeanor was quite good, which slightly changed his impression of Lin Feng.

"Go inside, everyone's waiting for you. Lin Feng, right? You'd better watch yourself when you get inside. My grandfather isn't as easy to talk to as I am!"

After hesitating for a moment, Meng Jingran kindly offered a reminder before turning around and walking inside.

Watching Meng Jingran's retreating figure, Lin Feng smiled slightly. This brother-in-law seemed like a decent person; at least he didn't use his power to intimidate others, although he couldn't intimidate him either.

"Let's go in too. Don't be nervous, I'm here!"

Lin Feng turned around and said to Meng Qingyao, then pulled Meng Qingyao along and followed.

This calm demeanor gave Meng Qingyao a very strange feeling. She was supposed to be at the Meng family, but why did she feel like she was the one who came to see an elder?
