The sun almost set in the west when they reached A City. They would have reached sooner but Ge Chen took Xue Lin in a fancy seafood restaurant leaving his two friends in the car. He ordered many dishes and told her, "It’s because no one ever supported me as you did. I’m grateful."

  Xue Lin nonchalantly said, "I’ll support you as long as I live. Will you keep taking me to the restaurant for the rest of your life? You will become poor."

  Ge Chen chuckled. "You don’t have to worry about that." He never thought that there would be a day that his life partner would worry about him getting poor. It was practically his fault that he didn’t tell her anything about it.

  Xue Lin looked straight at his eyes. "Let me save some of your money. Next time, just cook something delicious for me. Spending too much money without a valid reason isn’t good. You don’t know when you need money in the future."

  She thought that she was being generous. It wasn’t that she didn’t like being treated with delicious restaurant meals, however, their lives depended on the money they earned. Since both of them didn’t have any job and they kept spending money on their wedding clothes, journey, and food, she started to think that if that continued, they would become poor in less than three months.

  After being lectured, Ge Chen nodded. "As you wish, my wife."

  Xue Lin nodded. "I’m glad if I can help."

  "Your words are valuable." Ge Chen said that the way he felt. He thinks that people at her age aren’t as wise as her.

  His praise didn’t enter Xue Lin’s solid heart. It was obvious when he heard her reply, "My words won’t have any value if you don’t heed to my words. Words have value when you agree to them, follow them, and obey them."

  Louis and Ming Yu were in the next room and they heard the conversation of the newlyweds. Louis gaped as he heard her reply. "Is she a dope? Can’t she realize that her husband is hitting on her?"

  Ming Yu chewed his food and said, "That means that she is inexperienced. She has never been in any intimate relationship with any man in her lifetime."

  Louis still couldn’t believe it. "You said that she studied in Germany. I can’t believe that she didn’t fall for any German man." He dated so many women. They never let go of a chance flirting with handsome men though they were dating.

  Ming Yu sighed. He knew that there was no hope left for his friend. "If you still don’t understand then you don’t deserve to be a womanizer. Not every woman is like the ones you date."

  Louis frowned. "Are you saying that the women I date are not of good quality?" He always dated women of the highest quality. They were elegant, seductive, and good in bed.

  Ming Yu asked him back, "You understand that now? There is something wrong with your head."

  Luis argued, "Hey now, I’m a genius in my profession." He is one of the most prominent car designers in the world. How can he be an idiot?

  Ming Yu shrugged. "That’s the only thing that’s good about you."

  As the two friends bickered at each other, Ge Chen replied to Xue Lin, "As usual you are right."

  "I try to be right." After saying that with a poker face, Xue Lin got busy with her lunch. That’s how they finished their lunch——

  "We are here, at last," Louis announced. They have reached the Su Family’s mansion. It’s already dark outside.

  Since they didn’t inform beforehand, no one was waiting at the entrance to welcome them. Ge Chen caught Xue Lin’s hand and said, "That’s my maternal grandparent’s house. This is where my mother was born. I also grew up here."

  "I like this place. Your maternal family has good taste." Xue Lin only spoke the truth. She didn’t plan on flattering anyone. She always says what she feels.

  Ge Chen said, "I’ll take you to my grandfather. He is in the study room I guess."

  Xue Lin asked, "What about your grandmother?"

  "She is in Texas. She went there to meet her friend’s grandchild." Ge Chen pulled her inside the house.

  The Head Butler saw Ge Chen and hurriedly came closer. He bowed deeply, "Young master, I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there to welcome you. I apologize."

  Ge Chen was in a good mood and so, he smiled a little. "It’s alright. I didn’t tell you beforehand to surprise you all. Where is grandfather?"

  The Head Butler was puzzled and answered, "He is playing Go in the study room." He couldn’t help but look at the middle school girl curiously. When he saw that they were holding hands, his eyes widened. ’What am I seeing? Is this hallucination? Must be my age……’


  "Prepare a feast for tonight." Ge Chen instructed. As the Su Family’s rule, when a new member joins the family, they prepare a feast to welcome them.

  The Head Butler confusedly looked at the joined hands and then suddenly realized what Ge Chen meant. He quickly corrected himself and bowed deeply, "I’m so sorry, young mistress. I forgot to welcome you as well. I humbly apologize."

  Xue Lin also gave him a polite bow and said, "You have done nothing wrong. You didn’t know anything. I’ll be in your care from now on."

  The Head Butler panicked when she bowed. He hurriedly said, "Young mistress, you shouldn’t bow to your employee."

  Xue Lin bluntly said, "I bowed because it’s our tradition to greet someone we respect and I respect you. it has nothing to do with my status."

  "……" the Head Butler was speechless. He never met someone who would respect him in front of everyone despite having a higher status. His heart filled with gratitude.

  Unknown to Xue Lin, despite her blunt attitude, the servants started to have a favorable impression of her.

  Ge Chen smiled in satisfaction. He then took her to the study room and knocked on the door before entering.
