Those Sweet Times

Chapter 87 Part 3

“It’s just a suggestion, of course.” Yue Yingying quickly added: “If your parents don’t have time, we’ll have dinner some other time in the future.”

“Actually my parents have already met Lin Chuyan before.” Xiang Nuan replied in a small voice: “My mom likes him very much.”

Yue Yingying opened her mouth and took a look at her son with a surprised look. The look in her eyes was filled with encouragement and approval which Lin Chuyan had never seen before. He didn’t get that kind of look when he won awards for competitions or received his score on the college entrance exam. 

Yue Yingying stayed a while longer to chat with them. In the end, she asked Xiang Nuan what gift she wanted for her birthday. Xiang Nuan was too embarrassed to ask for anything.

When Yue Yingying was ready to leave, Lin Chuyan and Xiang Nuan walked her out. Lin Chuyan asked: “Mom, do you remember my birthday?”

“I know why you ask.” Yue Yingying lightly patted his shoulder and said softly: “You have to believe mom, Chuyan. If you weren’t our biological son, we would have discarded you long ago.”

“......Thanks, mom. Motherly love is so great.”

“Don’t mention it, that’s from your dad.”

Lin Chuyan thought that his mother was too accommodating to his father.

However, when he thought about it, if his own wife in the future could be this accommodating…… it would be quite nice that way.

After Yue Yingying left, Lin Chuyan closed the door and asked Xiang Nuan: “What do you want as a birthday gift?”

Xiang Nuan looked at him with her chin resting on her palm: “Hum…...What do you want to give me?”

Lin Chuyan smiled: “I’ll give myself to you.”

“Then you don’t have to spend a dime? You wish, Lin Chuyan. Don’t try to get away with it, you’re mine already.”

“My heart is yours, but my body isn’t yet.”

“......”

Chen Yinghu liked the feeling of driving the Mercedes Benz to the supermarket to buy beer. To make the pleasure last longer, he and Yang Yin both decided to go to the market that was further away.

Chen Yinghu drove the car on their way to the market and Yang Yin was the one who drove it back.

Yang Yin asked while she was driving: “What should we do tomorrow?”

“I’m going to the lab.” Shen Zemu said.

“How about you, Little Tiger?”

“I want to go to Laofeng Street.”

Shen Zemu couldn’t understand it: “What’s the fun of going to Laofeng Street?” The street was always crowded which gave him a headache. For him, one visit there was enough.

He couldn’t understand Chen Yinghu and Chen Yinghu couldn’t understand him either. Chen Yinghu: “No matter what Laofeng Street would be a better place than the lab?”

Shen Zemu was speechless.

Yang Yin laughed: “I would like to go to Laofeng Street too. There’s a place there with very good tofu pudding. I’ll take you there.”

“Sure, sure…...Yin Jie, how’s your job search? You still haven’t found a suitable team?”

“No, Deng Wenbo, that damn fool keeps spreading rumors about me even now. I think I’ll need to beat him up again.”

“Why did you beat him up before?”

“He wouldn’t keep his hands off me.”

“That kind of person deserves to be beaten. Next time remember to call me when you go beat him up.”

“Alright.”

Shen Zemu leaned against the car window, looking at the view outside as it quickly passed by. Though he felt that the other two were talking nonsense, to his surprise, he found it to be rather peaceful and didn’t find the conversation boring.

When they were back at the villa, they parked the car, carried the stuff they had bought to the villa, and saw Lin Chuyan at the door.

Lin Chuyan was squatting down at the foot of the wall next to the door. The sun had already set and it was getting dark. They couldn’t clearly tell why Lin Chuyan was doing there.

“What are you doing here?” Yang Yin went over to ask.

“I’m checking to see whether there are any bugs out here. If there’s no bug, we can eat in the garden later.” Lin Chuyan stood up and said with his body straightened upright.

He would never let anyone figure it out that Xiang Nuan had actually driven him out to reflect on his misdeeds.

He was a good actor and Yang Yin didn’t find anything wrong with his reply. Yang Yin and Chen Yinghu walked in the front to ring the doorbell. Lin Chuyan followed them back into the house.

He figured that the most important thing to a person was to have thick skin.
