Lin Chen finished cooking, and Xu Mengyao produced two bottles of wine.
One bottle was baijiu, the other red wine.
Lin Chen looked a bit strange and said, "Mengyao, you brought wine from home? No wonder some of the bags were so heavy."
Xu Mengyao said, "I brought twenty or thirty bottles. If my dad and your dad come over, you can drink with them."
Shen Qing looked at the two bottles of wine. "Mengyao, these aren't cheap, are they? This is from Uncle Xu's number one wine cabinet. I've seen this bottle before."
Xu Mengyao had taken her to see the Xu Family's wine cellar.
"I'm not sure of the exact price, but those twenty or thirty bottles together should be worth over a million."
Lin Chen chuckled inwardly.
It turns out that the little padded jacket* is a bit drafty because it's hereditary.
"Uncle Xu won't be angry, will he?"
Lin Chen asked.
Xu Mengyao shook her head. "Not really. My dad likes a drink, but he's not a drunkard, and he has lots of good wine in his wine cellar."
Lin Chen: "I don't have a wine cabinet here, is it okay to bring the wine over?"
Xu Mengyao said, "Collecting wine requires constant temperature and humidity. If you're just drinking it yourself, it's not necessary."
Lin Chen nodded.
He quickly opened two bottles of wine.
Shen Qing said with a smile, "Why don't you two pour some wine and do a toast with your arms intertwined? I'll take a picture for you."
Xu Mengyao's face was slightly flushed.
She looked at Lin Chen: "Husband, we won't do the toast with arms intertwined. Let's save that for later. But we can clink glasses and let Shen Qing take a picture of us."
"Okay."
Lin Chen nodded.
"Shen Qing, take a few pictures for us."
Xu Mengyao handed her phone to her.
"Alright."
Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao raised their glasses.
Shen Qing quickly took a photo of them, including the delicious food on the table.
"Mommy, Daddy, me too!"
Lin Xiaoxi said anxiously from the side.
"Don't worry, how could we forget our Xiaoxi?"
Lin Chen picked up Lin Xiaoxi.
Xu Mengyao stood on the other side of Lin Chen.
"Honey, you... you hold me."
Xu Mengyao said softly.
Lin Chen held his daughter Lin Xiaoxi in his left arm, and gently embraced Xu Mengyao's waist with his right hand, a smile on his face.
Xu Mengyao's face showed a shy expression.
Lin Xiaoxi giggled sweetly.
"Click!"
Shen Qing quickly captured the scene, her photography skills were quite good.
"Mengyao, I admit I'm jealous."
"Looks like I really need to find a boyfriend, or else you two are going to shove this dog food down my throat."
Shen Qing said softly.
The three of them, Lin Chen and his family, made her incredibly envious.
Xu Mengyao said, "Eat up. It won't be sour if you eat some vegetables."
Shen Qing handed her phone to Xu Mengyao.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Shen Qing immediately started eating.
Xu Mengyao took the phone and first posted something on her Moments.
"Hello there, Mr. Lin."
The caption consisted of only six simple characters.
There were two photos.
One photo was of a toast, and the other was of Lin Chen holding Lin Xiaoxi, with his arm around her.
Xu Mengyao had many friends on WeChat, and soon people saw this post on her Moments.
"Old classmate, when did you get married?"
"Congratulations, CEO Xu."
"Who is that man? So happy."
Likes and comments kept appearing.
Xu Mengyao rarely posted on WeChat Moments. Who would have thought that her first post would be such explosive news?
"Damn!"
Not long after, Zhao Tianyou was alerted by someone else, and he saw Xu Mengyao's post as well.
——Although Xu Mengyao disliked Zhao Tianyou, they were still WeChat friends due to the relationship between their families.
"Beep beep!" Zhao Tianyou called his father, Zhao Huaiyuan.
"What's up?"
Zhao Huaiyuan asked as he answered the phone.
It was Sunday today, and he was at home. Zhao Tianyou was out having fun.
"Dad, Xu Mengyao posted something on Moments."
Zhao Huaiyuan's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Did she announce her relationship with Lin Chen on Moments?"
"Pretty much."
Zhao Huaiyuan said, "Come back first, we'll talk when you get here."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Huaiyuan opened Moments. As the company's deputy general manager, and with Xu Mengyao now the company president, he naturally had Xu Mengyao's WeChat.
"It's not just that they registered their marriage."
"Xu Mengyao and Lin Chen already have feelings for each other." Zhao Huaiyuan thought to himself.
He understood Xu Mengyao. Her feelings for Lin Chen were definitely deep, otherwise, would Lin Chen be able to put his arm around her waist?
"There's no hope for my son and Xu Mengyao."
Zhao Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
If Xu Mengyao didn't have feelings for Lin Chen, then his son, who had known her for many years, might have had a chance if they pushed things along. But now, it was absolutely impossible.
Since Xu Mengyao posted that on her Moments, she had already made up her mind about Lin Chen. Not even ten oxen could pull her back.
"Dad."
Zhao Tianyou rushed back in a hurry.
"What should I do next?"
Zhao Huaiyuan took a drag from his cigarette and said, "You can give up. You and Mengyao have no chance."
"Dad, but—"
Zhao Huaiyuan raised his hand. "No buts. You should know something about Xu Mengyao's personality. Once she's made up her mind, it's hard to change it."
Zhao Tianyou said, "Dad, Uncle Xu and the others will be back soon. Shouldn't we make one last effort?"
"I'm the one who's most suited to her."
"Lin Chen is only good at basketball. What does he have?"
Zhao Tianyou was very displeased.
He didn't just want the Xu Family's money; he also wanted Xu Mengyao. Xu Mengyao was incredibly beautiful.
"Even if we try to talk to Mengyao's parents, it probably won't work."
Zhao Huaiyuan said.
Zhao Tianyou said, "Dad, you and Uncle Xu used to have a good relationship. Why don't you talk to Uncle Xu properly?"
"What is Lin Chen, anyway? Does he deserve to be with Mengyao?"
Zhao Huaiyuan considered for a moment and said, "You should come with me then. Aunt Yang has been sick for so long, you should go see her when she returns."
"Okay."
Zhao Tianyou nodded.
Lin Chen and the others were here.
"Shen Qing, are the dishes not to your liking today?"
Lin Chen asked, a little puzzled.
Shen Qing ate much less today than usual.
Shen Qing shook her head.
Xu Mengyao said with a strange expression, "She didn't overeat today because she plans to pack it up."
"Uh—"
"There's no need, Shen Qing. You can come over and eat if you want."
Lin Chen said.
Shen Qing said, "The food here is delicious, but the dog food isn't. I'd rather pack it up and eat it for a few more meals."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao said, "Let her pack it if she wants. It's a shame to just throw away such delicious dishes."
Today was Xu Mengyao's first day moving in, and there were only three adults. However, Lin Chen had made six dishes.
Both Xu Mengyao and Shen Qing didn't eat much, so there was a lot of food left over.
"Lin Chen, go out and be romantic with Mengyao."
"I'll pack up and clean up."
"I'll put Xiaoxi to sleep later,"
Shen Qing said.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, can you stay home with Aunt Qing while Daddy and Mommy go out?"
"Mmhmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao left the house quickly.
"Mengyao, shall we go see a movie?"
Xu Mengyao's eyes lit up with anticipation, and she nodded, "Okay, I haven't seen a movie in ages."
