SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

11:00 noon.

Wutong Residential Area, Anping District.

A black Maybach came to a smooth stop downstairs. The driver's side door opened, and Lin Mu got out and habitually took out his phone.

The screen only displayed Lin Yan's message. He breathed a sigh of relief, put away his phone, and walked towards his apartment building.

With a "click," the key turned the door, and the sizzling sound of a wok being tossed in the kitchen immediately filled the air.

He smiled faintly and called into the house, "Mom and Dad, I'm home."

"Go wash your hands! Get ready to eat! You can't even remember when your own sister will be home. You're asking for a beating!"

Jiang Shuwan's voice drifted from the kitchen. The next second, she walked into the dining room with a fruit platter, not forgetting to glance at him sideways.

"Brother, you're back!"

Lin Yan ran up to him with a cheerful step, a mysterious smile on her lips: "Later at the dinner table, I'm going to announce something that will leave you and Mom and Dad speechless!"

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow in agreement, feigning curiosity: "Oh? Something so shocking... Could it be that Yan Yan is in a relationship?"

"Tell me, what do you think of the other person? Need me to give you my opinion?"

Lin Yan stomped her foot instantly, her face puffed up with anger: "Hey! What nonsense are you talking about, brother! Dating and announcing something are not even in the same league!"

Lin Mu feigned sudden realization: "I understand, but I still think that Yan Yan being in a relationship is the thing that shocked me the most."

Lin Yan was utterly exasperated, turning away with a pout: "You and Mom and Dad are really... even your talking points are exactly the same!"

"Hmph, just wait and see when dinner is served! Yan Yan is amazing now!"

"What are you still standing in the entryway for? Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"

Lin Ye carried two plates of glistening, oily dishes out of the kitchen, and the aroma instantly filled the entire living room.

His eyes instantly turned doting when he looked at Lin Yan: "But Yan Yan, what your brother said is absolutely right. No matter how important something is, nothing is more important to us than your love life."

"Your safety and happiness are the greatest happiness for your mother and me."

"Dad! You said that again, hmph!" Lin Yan pouted and walked towards the dining room. "Let's see if you can still stay calm after I finish speaking!"

Lin Mu had just come out of the washroom when Lin Ye pulled him back to the corner.

He lowered his voice, his tone serious: "You brat, what happened with that phone call last time? You... you did it for them?"

Lin Mu's expression stiffened, and he replied seriously, "Dad, would you believe me if I said I didn't?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Ye's eyes for a moment. He patted his shoulder and sighed, "You kid, this is all you'll ever amount to."

He paused and then added, "Son, there are no girls as naive as Nianhe in this world anymore. You must cherish her."

"If one day she really does seduce you, you must immediately tell her you'll take responsibility for her, understand?"

Lin Mu was stunned: "Dad, what's reverse psychology?"

Lin Ye sighed deeply, exasperated: "Fine, just remember one thing I said: whatever Nianhe wants to do to you, just let her do it, understand?"

"I……"

Before Lin Mu could finish speaking, Lin Ye had already strode towards the restaurant, muttering to himself, "Why is he so clueless? Who does he take after..."

Lin Mu looked puzzled, feeling that his father's words were inexplicable, and quickly walked towards the restaurant.

The aroma of the food on the table filled the air, making the atmosphere even more joyful.

"Cough, cough."

Lin Yan suddenly coughed twice, her eyes sweeping over the three of them with unusual seriousness, and said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, Brother, from now on, Yan Yan will protect our home!"

"Yan Yan is now capable enough to protect you!"

Lin Mu paused in his act of picking up food, then continued to bury his head in his rice.

Lin Ye's lips twitched, he lowered his head and took a sip of soup, and didn't reply.

Only Jiang Shuwan put down her chopsticks, looked at her with a smile, and said gently, "Really? Our Yan Yan is really amazing!"

"But if Mom and Dad can protect themselves, and Yan Yan can take good care of herself outside, that's the best protection for us."

She paused, then added in a gentler voice, "Yan Yan, the expenses in Shengjing City must be very high, right?"

"Are you short of money? You must tell your family if you encounter any difficulties, okay?"

"Mom, Yan Yan doesn't lack money."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she gently placed her chopsticks on the rim of the bowl, sat up slightly, and spoke with a more solemn tone than before: "What I am about to say may shock you, or even make you feel incredulous."

"But please believe me, it's absolutely true. Yan Yan would never lie to her family."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mu and Lin Ye put down their bowls and chopsticks almost simultaneously, leaning forward instinctively as if ready to listen to a story.

Jiang Shuwan smiled gently and placed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into her bowl: "Okay, then Yan Yan, tell me quickly, um... is it really not because you found a really amazing boyfriend?"

"Of course not! It's Yan Yan's own ability!"

Lin Yan immediately raised her chin, her eyes gleaming with undisguised smugness. "Hehe, I'm not going to keep you in suspense any longer, I'll just lay my cards on the table."

"Now, everyone, please listen carefully to what I have to say!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mu, Lin Ye, and Jiang Shuwan immediately sat up straighter and even blinked in unison, pretending to listen attentively as they looked at her.

Seeing this, Lin Yan felt even more smug and nodded in satisfaction.

She then cleared her throat, her voice brimming with barely suppressed pride: "Dad, Mom, I have some great news to tell you first. Your precious daughter is now the youngest director-level executive in the research and development base!"

"And! Now comes the most crucial part, you all must stay calm!"

Lin Yan paused deliberately for two seconds, her gaze sweeping over the three men. Seeing their continued focus, she continued, "The base has even established a dedicated guard team of 70 Awakened Ones for Yan Yan!"

"You guys need to stay calm, what's about to happen might really surprise you!"

The three of them remained silent, only nodding in agreement.

Seeing their silence, Lin Yan was secretly overjoyed, believing that they must be experiencing a storm of emotions at the same time!

She puffed out her chest, her expression growing even more arrogant, and added, "The captain of this exclusive guard team for Yan Yan is a sixth-tier Awakened!"

"Yes, believe your ears, you didn't mishear, it's sixth rank!"

"His strength is already incredibly close to the pinnacle of this world, so let Yan Yan protect this family in the future!"

After she finished speaking, the three of them continued to stare intently at her.

It's like patiently waiting for a passionate orator to finish telling this wonderful story.
