Chapter 4 Preparing to Receive My Mother-in-law

  Lin Yixuan actually didn't leave, he was hiding on the rooftop all along. After all, someone had to deal with him, and he couldn't pretend nothing happened. He showed off in front of Liu Zi for the same reason - to intimidate those thugs. His current strength is still too weak, unable to withstand any storm, but as long as he has time, he can become incredibly powerful. So he's fighting for time, showing off this move, believing that those thugs won't dare bother him for a while.

  But when he heard that these thugs were actually brought by Li Ze Cheng, Lin Yixuan's face suddenly turned cold. He didn't expect that for such a small matter, he would find people from the society to deal with him, and listening to those thugs' words, it seemed that they even wanted to break one of his legs. This account he remembered, and he will settle it slowly later.

  But Lin Yixuan didn't have time to think about that now, because he didn't have much time left. After wasting some time with Liu Zi, he didn't have much time left. Lin Yixuan hurriedly came to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.

  "Going to Rhythm Bamboo Garden." Lin Yixuan said lightly after getting on the car.

  The driver heard that he was going to Yunzhu Garden and couldn't help but pause for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you have relatives there?"

  "No, a friend of mine lives there." Lin Yixuan replied casually, and it's hard to expect the driver to have that reaction. Yunzhu Garden is a well-known villa area in Longcheng, and it's the richest neighborhood in Longcheng. Anyone who can move in there has assets worth at least hundreds of millions, because even the cheapest villa there costs tens of millions. It's truly a case of "every inch of land is worth its weight in gold".

  The driver chatted with Lin Yixuan all the way, and Lin Yixuan also responded casually, occasionally urging the driver to hurry up.

  The driver's speed was not slow, and soon they arrived at the main gate of Yuzhu Garden. To say that high-end communities are powerful, the main gate is built like a park, with a fountain square, and two security guards standing upright at the entrance, completely unlike ordinary communities.

  Just as he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by a security guard who walked over and said, "Sorry, you can't just come in here."

  "I'm here looking for someone, can I trouble you to let me in?" Lin Yixuan said to the security guard.

  "What about you? Do you know what this place is? Are you here looking for someone?" At that moment, another young security guard chimed in.

  "Xiao Zhao, what did you say?!" The previous security guard immediately scolded the younger security guard Xiao Zhao.

  "It's obvious, look at him wearing a whole set of street stall goods, how could he possibly know anyone here." Little Zhao muttered quietly.

  The security guard didn't mind Zhao's words, but instead smiled lightly at Lin Yixuan and said: "Sorry, Zhao is new here and doesn't understand the rules. If you really know someone living inside, it's best to give them a call. I can only let you in after confirmation."

  The security guard was serious about his work, so Lin Yixuan couldn't say anything. He took out his phone and directly dialed Shangguan Xueyan's number. As soon as the call connected, he heard Shangguan Xueyan's cold voice: "Lin Yixuan, what's going on? Why aren't you here yet?"

  "I'm just outside your neighborhood, but I was blocked by the security guard and wasn't allowed in." Lin Yixuan sighed.

  "You hand the phone over to that security guard." Shangguan Xueyan hesitated for a moment, then said lightly, apparently she had also forgotten about it.

  Lin Yixuan handed the phone to the security guard, who then spoke a few words with Guan Xueyan before returning the phone to Lin Yixuan. The security guard smiled slightly and said, "Alright, you can go in now." He then opened the door.

  After entering Yunzhu Garden, the interior is beautifully decorated with mountains, small lakes and large areas of lush green grass. The villas in the community are densely packed, mostly separated by a distance of over 100 meters, and each villa has a very spacious private space.

  Shangguan Xueyan's villa was built on a hillside overlooking the small lake, and its location was quite good.

  After Lin Yixuan paid the taxi fare, he arrived in front of Shangguan Xueyan's villa. This was a three-story villa with an overall elegant feel, surrounded by a large courtyard that enclosed the entire building. Lin Yixuan had only been here once before, but his impression of this place was very deep. At that time, he was still thinking about when he could have such a villa himself.

  She pressed the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened. A stunningly beautiful woman appeared at the entrance. Her long black hair was styled high on her head, revealing an icy expression on her exquisite face. The black female suit made her exude a strong and capable aura. Although Lin Yixuan had already seen Shangguan Xueyan's stunning beauty in his memory, he was still stunned when he saw her for the first time. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful existence could exist in this world. Lin Yixuan believed that even the four great beauties would pale in comparison to her.

  "Come in." Shangguan Xueyan said calmly after seeing Lin Yixuan, her eyes unchanged.

  Lin Yixuan secretly sighed in his heart. Shangguan Xueyan was indeed beautiful, but she was a bit cold, a standard ice beauty.

  As Shangguan Xueyan entered the villa, Lin Yixuan changed into the slippers that Shangguan Xueyan had prepared early on, and then followed Shangguan Xueyan up to the third floor. Throughout this time, Shangguan Xueyan didn't say a single word.

  She didn't stop until she reached a room, then turned around and looked at Lin Yuxuan with a cold expression, saying lightly: "There are clothes I've prepared inside, go wash up and change into them. My mother will be here soon, I don't want you to show any weakness."

  "Don't worry, since I promised to do something good, I will definitely do it." Lin Yixuan smiled lightly at Shangguan Xueyan, but in fact, Lin Yixuan's heart was also slightly excited. Such a beautiful person was actually his wife, although it was just pretend. Who knew how many people wanted to pretend, but didn't have the chance? As the saying goes, "the pavilion nearest the water gets the moon first", but looking at Shangguan Xueyan's expression towards him, he also knew that this was a foolish dream.

  Entering the room, it was a tastefully decorated room. On the bed were many men's clothes, from underwear to coats, everything was there. Lin Yixuan even found men's underwear, and Ouyang Xueyan had actually prepared all these for him, which made Lin Yixuan's imagination run wild.

  Lin Yixuan took a look and found that the workmanship of these clothes was very exquisite, although he couldn't tell what brand they were, but they were absolutely not cheap goods. He really didn't expect that one day he could also wear such expensive clothes.

  Inside the room, there was a separate bathroom. Lin Yixuan went in to take a bath, walked out of the bathroom and wiped his wet body clean, then put on those clothes. Just as he had just put on his underwear, the door suddenly opened. Lin Yixuan looked up and found himself face to face with Shangguan Xueyan. He could see the shock and anger in her beautiful eyes for a moment. She probably never thought that Lin Yixuan would appear in front of her at this time wearing only one piece of underwear.

  "Bang..." The door was shut instantly. Before it closed, Shangguan Xueyan left a sentence: "I'm going to pick up the plane, you hurry up and pack."

  Listening to Shangguan Xueyan's embarrassed voice, Lin Yixuan seemed very innocent. It was obvious that she had entered on her own accord, yet somehow it still seemed like his fault.

  After changing into the clothes, Lin Yixuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Good clothes are indeed comfortable to wear. After putting on the clothes, Lin Yixuan walked in front of the mirror and took a look. Indeed, people rely on their attire, and Lin Yixuan felt that he had become much more handsome all at once.

  But at this time, Lin Yixuan's stomach inopportunely growled, really starving. From yesterday noon to now, Lin Yixuan had not eaten for a whole day and night, plus the fight with that rascal before, and taking a bath after that consumed some physical strength, Lin Yixuan only felt his whole body was soft from hunger.

  Helpless, Lin Yixuan walked out of the room and thought about going downstairs to find something to eat. At this time, he also regretted not asking Shangguan Xueyan for some food first. After walking out of the room, Lin Yixuan only discovered that the house was eerily quiet. Such a large house had only one person living in it, and he didn't know how she could bear it.

  Lin Yixuan didn't know that there were originally servants in the villa, but Yu Guang was afraid that when her mother came, those servants would accidentally reveal something, so she had all of them fired.

  Lin Yixuan arrived at the first floor and found the kitchen in a room on the right side. Lin Yixuan opened the refrigerator, but there was nothing to eat inside, only some ingredients. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yixuan decided to cook by himself.

  Xiang Lai thought that Guan Xueyan wouldn't mind him doing this, but anyway, even if she did mind, there was nothing they could do about it. If he didn't eat something soon, he would starve to death.

  He took out some ingredients from the kitchen, and at the moment Lin Yixuan picked up the knife, he felt a sense of familiarity flowing through his entire body. Lin Yixuan had cooked thousands of dishes in the study space before, so this feeling was naturally more familiar than anything else. The knife fell quickly, very neat and tidy, and in the blink of an eye, the vegetables on the chopping board became uniform slices.

  Just as Lin Yixuan had all the ingredients ready and was about to start stir-frying, there was a sudden knock at the door. Lin Yixuan took a peek and found that Shangguan Xueyan had returned. Lin Yixuan felt a sense of surprise in her heart - wasn't she supposed to be picking up her mother? How did she come back so quickly?

  Shangguan Xueyan also saw Lin Yixuan, and she frowned slightly, saying in a cold voice: "What are you doing there?"

  "I'm starving, if I don't eat soon, I'll die." Lin Yixuan said somewhat recklessly, anyway he was caught, so he might as well be unscrupulous.

  "Can you cook?" Shangguan Xueyan was taken aback, perhaps in her eyes cooking was a remarkable thing, which made her so surprised.

  "It's only natural, otherwise I would have starved to death if I had lived alone." Lin Yixuan rolled his eyes in his heart, wondering why Shangguan Xueyan would ask such a question.

  "How's the taste?" Shangguan Xueyan's eyes had a faint expectation, which made Lin Yixuan pause. In his memory, he had never seen Shangguan Xueyan like this before. The Shangguan Xueyan in his memory was basically always cold and icy.

  "Not bad, just in time for me to serve this dish. Try some." This wasn't Lin Yixuan bragging, his cooking was originally good, and after learning in the study space, even an average five-star chef might not be as skilled as him.

  It wasn't until after Lin Yixuan said that sentence that he remembered Shangguan Xueyan's personality, and letting her taste the dish was asking for trouble.

  "Alright, you'd better hurry up, I'm in a rush." Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xueyan agreed.

  Lin Yixuan helplessly entered the kitchen to stir-fry the already prepared ingredients, and in just a short while, a fragrant dish was done. After Lin Yixuan carried the dishes out of the kitchen, he found that Shangguan Xueyan was no longer there. Just as he was wondering, he saw Shangguan Xueyan walking down from upstairs.

  "Is it done?" Shangguan Xueyan asked coldly, then walked over and picked up her chopsticks to take a bite.

  "Not bad." Xiang Yue nodded lightly, but Lin Yixuan keenly sensed the delight in her eyes.

  "Before I pick up my mother, you need to finish cooking today's lunch. We're not going out to eat today." Shangguan Xueyan gave a faint order and then went out the door directly.

  Lin Yixuan watched as Shangguan Xueyan walked out, feeling speechless in his heart. She really knew how to order people around. But never mind, Shangguan Xueyan seemed to like the dishes he made very much, although she tried her best to cover it up, Lin Yixuan still discovered it.
