Zhao Tianyou: "Lin Chen's parents are farmers. I really don't know how he ended up with Xu Mengyao and a child."
"Could this guy have forced himself on her?"
Zhao Huaiyuan shook his head. "How could that be possible? If so, he'd definitely be in jail these past few years. You think your Uncle Xu got to where he is by being a pushover?"
"Did Xu Mengyao and Lin Chen get drunk?"
Zhao Tianyou speculated.
Zhao Huaiyuan: "Don't guess blindly. Three years have passed, and it's not that easy to figure things out. Besides, whether we figure it out or not isn't that important."
"Lin Chen is good at basketball; you need to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
Zhao Tianyou said sheepishly, "Dad, I've almost spent all my money. You need to support me with some funds. My biggest advantage over him is that my family has money."
"I'll give you two million."
"But this advantage of yours can only be used against Lin Chen, and you need to be careful about your approach. We aren't as wealthy as the Xu family; using the wrong method might backfire."
Zhao Huaiyuan quickly transferred two million to Zhao Tianyou.
"This is all the money you'll have this year. Spend it wisely."
Zhao Tianyou: "What if I make progress? Can I apply for more financial support then?"
Zhao Huaiyuan nodded slightly.
"I'll give you some more depending on your progress. You need to use your head, and don't be too impatient."
"Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao are from different social classes and have different values. Time will expose Lin Chen's flaws."
Zhao Tianyou nodded, "Dad, I understand."
"Lin Chen, this restaurant has a nice environment. As for the taste... anyway, the food in the restaurants outside isn't as delicious as yours," Xu Mengyao said.
The three of them arrived at a restaurant by the Riverside. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see the beautiful river view.
"Hehe, Mom's right."
"Daddy's cooking is the best... Mwah!" Lin Xiaoxi said, giving Lin Chen a kiss on the cheek.
"Mommy, Daddy smells good, kiss him too."
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao said without good humor, "Whether Mommy kisses, and when she kisses, doesn't need your arrangement. You little rascal just take care of yourself."
Lin Chen laughed, "Xiaoxi, Mommy is shy. Adults rarely kiss each other outside."
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiaoxi was a little puzzled.
"Sir, Madam, may I take your order now?"
The waiter quickly came over and asked respectfully.
Lin Chen and the others came to a French Restaurant. The environment was great, and the prices were naturally quite "beautiful" as well.
"Lin Chen, what would you like to eat?"
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen and asked.
Lin Chen: "You know what's good, you order."
"Okay."
Xu Mengyao quickly ordered the meal.
"Daddy, what's that over there?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked at a grand piano not far away and asked.
Lin Chen smiled, "That's a piano. If someone plays it, it can make a very beautiful sound."
"You're too young to learn right now. If you want to learn later, Dad can teach you then."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen in surprise, "You can play the piano?"
Lin Chen shook his head.
"No, I can't."
"But if Xiaoxi wants to learn, I'll learn first. Learning to play the piano shouldn't be too difficult."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
If someone else had said that, she would have thought they were bragging, but she didn't think there was any problem with Lin Chen saying it.
Lin Chen's cooking, calligraphy, painting, and fairy tale writing were all top-tier. Even his basketball skills were excellent.
In terms of languages, Lin Chen knew seven.
—The information she had was outdated; Lin Chen was now fluent in ten foreign languages.
When teaching Lin Xiaoxi English, his foreign language experience skyrocketed. "Your place isn't convenient for a piano, is it? Playing the piano at home will also disturb others."
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Mom, Dad can live with you."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
She had developed some fondness for Lin Chen, but fondness didn't mean she was ready to live with him.
Lin Chen patted Lin Xiaoxi's head. "It's good that you're trying to help your parents, Xiaoxi. But your grandparents will be back soon."
"It won't be convenient to live together then."
"Dad, Mom's house is so big, there's enough room for Grandpa and Grandma."
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Lin Chen with confusion.
Lin Chen said, "It's not just a matter of whether there's enough room. Take food, for example. You don't like spicy food, but I do."
"Everyone has different tastes. It's okay when there are few people, but it's troublesome to cater to everyone's tastes when there are many."
"Don't you think so?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
"Xiaoxi, if I don't move in with you, can you think of another way to solve this problem?"
Lin Xiaoxi thought seriously.
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi across from her, a faint smile on her face. Lin Chen was very patient with Lin Xiaoxi, much more patient than she was.
"Dad, I thought of something."
"There are empty houses outside, we can put it in there."
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up.
"That's right, that's a great idea. As long as we think hard, we'll always find a way, right?"
"Mmhmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly.
Xu Mengyao asked, "Lin Chen, what empty place outside?"
Lin Chen smiled, "I rented a small storefront. When signing books, they can be sent directly there."
"Xiaoxi, if you need to use it later, you'll have to buy a bigger one. It's not urgent, Xiaoxi doesn't need it for now."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, we only talked about half a year before. After half a year, Xixi can go to kindergarten. And by then, my dad will be in charge and I'll be free."
Lin Xiaoxi was puzzled, "Mom, what half a year?"
Lin Chen said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Half a year is still a long time. Maybe you'll have moved in by then."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Dishes were served one after another.
Lin Chen tasted a few.
The ingredients were okay, but the taste… was just so-so.
"Mommy, the food here isn't delicious."
Before Lin Chen could answer, Lin Xiaoxi pouted and said.
Xu Mengyao: "It's not that the food here isn't delicious, it's that Daddy's cooking is better, so you think this isn't delicious. But kids can't be picky, okay?"
"Hehe, so that's how it is."
"My daddy is the best! Daddy, I love you."
Lin Xiaoxi said happily.
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi: "Daddy loves you too."
Lin Xiaoxi blinked: "Daddy, you have to tell Mommy 'I love you, wife'. Mommy, you have to tell Daddy, 'I love you, husband'."
Lin Chen, Xu Mengyao: "..."
"I love you, wife."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao: "Mommy, it's your turn!"
Xu Mengyao couldn't bring herself to say anything.
There were a lot of people on the court. For her, shouting "Go, hubby!" was already the most she could do.
"You're always full of ideas."
"Let's eat."
Xu Mengyao said, annoyed.
Lin Chen laughed, "Xiaoxi, Mommy is shy. Maybe Mommy won't be so shy in a while."
