"Welcome home, Master and Madam."
When Lin Chen and the others drove back to the villa, four nannies and two gardeners bowed simultaneously.
The nannies usually lived in the villa, while the gardeners did not; they only came regularly to maintain the villa's greenery.
"Finally back."
Yang Qingyue's eyes showed joy.
"Thank you for your hard work while we were away."
Yang Qingyue gave each of them a red envelope, each containing five thousand yuan.
"Thank you, Madam."
The six people expressed their gratitude.
Yang Qingyue said, "You can move the things inside."
Soon, Lin Chen and the others arrived inside the villa.
Lin Chen was carrying a bag.
"Daddy, what presents do Mommy and I have?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked in a childish voice.
Lin Chen took out a lovely music box: "Xiaoxi, this is for you. Do you like it? If you don't like it, Daddy will give you a kiss."
"Hehe, I like it."
"But I want Daddy to give me a kiss."
Lin Xiaoxi said cutely, "What about Mommy's gift?"
Lin Chen took out a jewelry box from inside: "Xiaoxi, yours is big, Mommy's is small."
"Mengyao, do you like it?"
Lin Chen got up and opened the jewelry box.
Xu Mengyao saw a beautiful necklace inside.
Lin Chen spent over a million on this necklace.
Although it wasn't as expensive as the watch Xu Mengyao had given him, the necklace worth over a million was still very nice.
Beside them, Lin Xiaoxi tilted her head and sweetly said, "Mom, you don't have to accept the gift if you don't like it. You should ask Dad for a kiss."
"Who said I don't like it? I like it very much."
Xu Mengyao accepted the gift.
Lin Xiaoxi skipped off to find Yang Qingyue, who had also said she would give her a gift when they got back.
"Honey, thank you for the gift."
"And thank you for running around to pick up Mom and Dad."
Xu Mengyao said, and then she proactively gave Lin Chen a hug.
"I feel a little shortchanged."
"You only gave me one hug for two things. This hug can only thank one thing, and the other you still owe me, okay?"
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Xu Guofeng came out of the room at this time, and Xu Mengyao quickly let go, her face slightly red as she whispered, "So I owe you one, it's no big deal."
Her reaction was a bit too strong with a long hug, but she could completely accept a short hug.
Her own husband wasn't an outsider.
"Mengyao, you two hug if you want, just pretend I don't exist. I'm old, my eyes are blurry, and I can't see anything anyway."
Xu Guofeng said.
Xu Mengyao pouted, "Dad, are you saying you're old? You're only in your forties. You're far from being old and senile."
Xu Guofeng said, "It's called selective aging. You've gotten your marriage certificate, you can hug whoever you want.
You can just ignore your mother and me."
"Lin Chen, come to the study with me for a moment."
Lin Chen nodded, and he and Xu Guofeng soon arrived at the study.
"I like calligraphy. I've heard some people online say that your calligraphy has reached an unprecedented level."
"Can you write a piece for me?"
Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen expectantly.
He'd been itching to do this for a while, but it wasn't convenient in the States.
Back home, he had all the necessary brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
"Uncle Xu, please, don't be so polite."
"It's just writing a calligraphy piece, no big deal."
Lin Chen smiled, "Uncle Xu, what kind of calligraphy do you want?"
Xu Guofeng shook his head. "I don't have any requests. Write whatever you like."
"Doesn't need to be long, just a couple of lines will do."
He said, taking out some fine Xuan paper from the cabinet. Lin Chen picked up a brush and dipped it in ink.
[The Great Peng rises with the wind in a day, soaring ninety thousand miles.]
Lin Chen's powerful, vigorous characters landed on the xuan paper.
Xu Guofeng stared at the words Lin Chen had written.
Soon, he was immersed in them. He seemed to see a Great Peng bird, rising with the wind, getting higher and higher. Finally, the Great Peng bird soared beyond the clouds.
"Hoo!"
Xu Guofeng was shocked when he came back to his senses.
Lin Chen's calligraphy had reached such a level.
"Lin Chen, you weren't this strong last time."
Xu Guofeng said.
Lin Chen nodded, "I've improved a bit recently."
Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen with endless admiration. With Lin Chen's level, he would definitely go down in history.
He might even benefit from it.
"Lin Chen, how is your father's arm?"
Xu Guofeng asked.
Lin Chen replied, "It's not a major issue, but it will take one or two months to fully recover."
Xu Guofeng pondered, "Are your parents able to come to Modu? If not, we can go to your hometown. You and Mengyao bought a house there anyway."
"We'd like to meet your parents."
"We'll all have a meal together and finalize your engagement."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Engagement?"
Xu Guofeng nodded.
"Yes, you'll get engaged to Mengyao first."
"Although you and Mengyao are already married, the proper procedures for a wedding still need to be followed."
"The engagement can be kept simple, just with both sets of parents present."
Lin Chen said, "There's no problem with my parents coming. My father only has a minor fracture, and he doesn't even need a cast anymore. He'll be fine as long as he doesn't do any heavy work."
"You should still ask your parents."
Xu Guofeng said.
Lin Chen nodded, "I'll video call them right now."
"Okay."
Xu Guofeng straightened his clothes.
Lin Chen dialed his father Lin Hai's video call.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Lin Chen asked.
Lin Hai turned the phone around, showing the surroundings: "Your mom won't let me go on the roof. I'm just wandering around the village. Can you talk to your mom? My hand isn't a big deal."
Lin Chen said exasperatedly, "Dad, it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury. Don't go messing around with your old bones."
"Dad, Uncle Xu wants to talk to you."
Lin Hai quickly straightened his clothes.
Lin Chen turned the phone's camera towards Xu Guofeng, who laughed heartily, "In-laws, we're back. We'd like to invite you to Modu for a meal."
"We can finalize the details for Mengyao and the others' wedding."
"If it's not convenient for you to come, we can come over instead."
Lin Hai said happily, "It's convenient, very convenient. My hand has a minor issue, but there's nothing wrong with my feet."
"In-laws, what time?"
Even though Lin Chen's family hadn't officially had the engagement ceremony yet, Xu Guofeng's family was already calling them in-laws. It wasn't really a problem, though. Although they weren't engaged, Lin Chen and Yang Qingyue had already registered their marriage.
Xu Guofeng said, "We just got back. We'll probably be busy these next few days. How about next Saturday, in-laws?"
"No problem."
"We'll come over early to prepare."
Lin Hai quickly agreed.
His son's engagement was an extremely important matter to him.
Xu Guofeng said with a smile, "In-laws, there's no need to prepare much. We won't be inviting anyone else, just our two families."
"We don't have any special customs either."
Lin Hai nodded.
The two chatted for a while and ended the video call. Lin Hai hurried home and excitedly said to Chen Mei, "Honey, we're going to Modu in a couple of days."
Chen Mei said, "Have Mengyao's parents returned? Then we have to go, we must go see Mengyao's mother."
Lin Hai said, "They have indeed returned. I just had a video call with our in-laws, and he invited us to go over."
"Our son and Mengyao are going to get engaged!"
