Chen Yi's lips curled slightly; it seemed he had offended someone.

At that moment, a middle-aged man stepped out of a Maybach.

The man had a square face, large ears, and a straight back, clearly indicating that he was of high status.

"You're Chen Yi?"

The man walked over, staring directly at Chen Yi with a scrutinizing look.

"I am Chen Yi. What brings you here?"

Chen Yi remained calm and composed, replying indifferently.

"I am Xu Guodong, Xu Linwei's father."

The man's tone carried an air of condescending authority.

"Oh, so it's my father-in-law. My apologies for not recognizing you."

Chen Yi immediately became polite, smiling and reaching out to shake hands with Xu Guodong.

This is my father-in-law, how can I not be polite?

"Don't call me father-in-law!"

Xu Guodong's face darkened immediately; this kid was quite friendly.

They kidnapped my daughter and they have no shame whatsoever!

"Well... oh... I understand."

Chen Yi quickly smiled and said that it was indeed his fault that he and Lin Wei hadn't visited their families before their wedding.

No wonder my father-in-law is dissatisfied and doesn't acknowledge me.

"Um, Uncle Xu..."

"And don't call me 'uncle,' I don't know you!"

Ah... this...

Chen Yi was a little confused. He couldn't call him father-in-law, nor could he call him uncle. So what should he call him?

"Hey, Guodong!"

It was my fault that I didn't visit you beforehand because my marriage to Lin Wei was so rushed.

"Don't worry, I will make up for everything that's due, including the bride price and the wedding. I will never let Lin Wei suffer any injustice."

Then he can only call him by his name.

boom!

Xu Guodong was furious.

"Listen up, you brat, you're not good enough for my daughter. You only got close to her for money, right? Here's a million, take it and get out of here! Leave my daughter!"

As he spoke, he threw a card at Chen Yi, which rolled down to Chen Yi's feet.

He had investigated and found that Chen Yi was currently unemployed and penniless.

Give him a million, and he'll be overjoyed.

Most people won't earn a million in their entire lives.

Chen Yi's face immediately darkened.

It seems my father-in-law didn't come to discuss the bride price; he looks down on me and is trying to force me to get a divorce!

Chen Yi has been in the cultivation world for two hundred years. When has he ever been coerced by anyone?

What a joke.

"Mr. Xu, Lin Wei and I are truly in love, please understand."

"understand?"

Xu Guodong sneered, "You think it's not enough? Here's another million. If that's still not enough, name your number."

As he spoke, he threw another card at Chen Yi's feet.

He had to make this kid divorce Xiaowei, because Xiaowei wanted a marriage alliance between the Xu and Chu families.

Chen Yi's expression grew even colder.

He took out the card Gao Qishan had given him and said to Xu Guodong:

"How about I give Mr. Xu ten million, and in return, Mr. Xu marries his daughter to me?"

"you……"

Xu Guodong was immediately speechless, not expecting Chen Yi to pull this stunt.

"Kid, you're really determined to be a toad trying to eat swan meat, aren't you?"

He didn't believe Chen Yi had ten million in his account.

"Mr. Xu, you're right."

Chen Yi smiled slightly and said, "Lin Wei and I are deeply in love, and our love is priceless."

"Good lad!"

Xu Guodong was so angry that his face turned black.

"You are not good enough for Xiaowei, and our Xu family will never accept a son-in-law like you."

Since you lack self-awareness, be prepared to bear the consequences.

After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, got into the Maybach, and the car disappeared into the night.

"Bear the consequences?"

Chen Yi's lips curled into a smile. "What consequences could a mere mortal possibly have that I cannot bear?"

It was already past one o'clock when I got home.

Chen Yi stood in the living room and saw Xu Linwei sleeping soundly on her side in bed through the wall of the master bedroom.

Should we go in?

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to go into the second bedroom.

It's so late, I shouldn't disturb her rest. She has to go to work tomorrow.

The next morning, Chen Yi got up early and made breakfast.

Xu Linwei took a sip of porridge, looked up at Chen Yi, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Thank you for making me breakfast so early in the morning, Chen Yi."

She had been so busy with her career that she hadn't enjoyed the warmth of home for a long time.

Chen Yi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Thinking of He Shuyao, for the past six months, she has prepared three different meals a day, served them to me, and fed them to me.

I never received even a single word of thanks in return.

It turns out that not everyone takes their family's sacrifices for granted.

He wasn't born to serve his wife.

"Is it tasty?"

He asked softly.

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."

Xu Linwei ate heartily, her eyes filled with warmth.

"It's delicious, I'll make it for you every day."

Chen Yi was also very pleased.

"That's great."

Xu Linwei said happily.

Then he said, "Come with me to the company later. I'll take you to the R&D department and give them the formula from last night to prepare for production."

"it is good."

Chen Yi stared straight at Xu Linwei.

This woman is really beautiful.

After Xu Linwei finished eating, she took a card out of her bag and gave it to Chen Yi, saying:

"This is my supplementary credit card with a limit of ten million. Buy whatever you need yourself."

She knew that Chen Yi was currently unemployed and in debt, and definitely needed money.

Now that he's her husband, she's bound to cherish him.

Chen Yi was immediately embarrassed.

Does this mean she really thinks she's living off a man?

Do I look like I have the qualities of someone who lives off a woman?

He smiled slightly and said, "No need, Lin Wei, I have money."

"Your money is yours, this is a gift from me."

Xu Linwei smiled generously and said,

"Don't be shy with me. Your wife may not be rich, but she can still afford to spend some money on you. Buy whatever you want, don't worry, I'm here for you."

After saying that, he picked up his bag and walked towards the door.

Chen Yi was utterly speechless; it felt like the roles had been reversed.

Shouldn't he be the one saying that?

It seems I'll have to keep living off my wife.

They had no choice but to accept the card.

He thought to himself, this is not about being a kept man, but rather about the love that comes from his wife.

A woman who is willing to spend money on you is a woman who truly loves you, isn't she?

Yes, that's right.

He quickly cleared away the dishes and followed Xu Linwei out the door.

I was on my way to the company in Xu Linwei's car when her phone rang.

I turned on speakerphone, and a clear voice came from the other end.

"Lin Wei, don't forget our appointment this afternoon. You're such a big boss, you always change your mind at the last minute."

Xu Linwei said, "Okay, I'll call you after get off work."

Then he hung up the phone.

Chen Yi looked at the caller ID on his phone and saw the name Han Xue.

Xu Linwei said, "That's my best friend Han Xue. We made plans to go horseback riding this afternoon. Why don't you come along? I can introduce you to my best friend."

"Okay, but I can't ride."

Chen Yi readily agreed, since he had nothing else to do anyway.

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Xu Linwei was in high spirits.

The car was parked at the entrance of an industrial park.

The two got out of the car, and a girl came to greet them.

The girl was petite, with a high ponytail, and looked quite shrewd and capable.

It was Xu Linwei's secretary, Xu Xiao.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen."

Xu Xiaoxin was puzzled. Why did President Xu bring her "husband" to the factory area?

Could she really be marrying this guy?

What merits or abilities does this kid possess that he's unworthy of President Xu?

But she only dared to mutter these thoughts to herself; she dared not show them.

Xu Linwei introduced Xu Xiao to Chen Yi, and then said, "Let's go take a look at the R&D department."

The three entered a huge factory building, turned left and right, and finally entered a workshop.

Bright lights illuminated the entire workshop, and a dazzling array of instruments were on display.

Dozens of employees, dressed in white coats, were mostly sitting in groups chatting, while only a small number were still working.

Xu Linwei's face immediately darkened.
