Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Just as Mingxi and Yu Jiaxi were exchanging heated words, their cell phone beeped with a notification sound.

Mingxi picked it up and glanced at it, then smugly snorted at Yu Jiaxi, "My boyfriend's here to pick me up~ I don't have time to waste on a lowlife like you!"

After saying that, he raised his chin and walked away with an arrogant expression.

Yu Jiaxi remained rooted to the spot, gritting her teeth. "What's so smug about? You'll be crying someday. You really think a pheasant can turn into a phoenix?!"

……

Mingxi quickly edited the information as she walked.

Mingxi: Yaoyao, they've arrived.

Yao Yao: OK

After receiving the reply, Mingxi stuffed her phone into her bag and straightened her collar and hair in front of the elevator mirror.

He rubbed his eyes hard, patted his face, and made the right expression. Everything was perfect!

After going downstairs, she saw Chu Yu's car parked not far away, so she jogged over, opened the car door, and quickly got in.

As soon as she got in the car, before Chu Yu could even speak, she threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, Brother Chu..."

Chu Yu was a little confused, then gently patted Mingxi's back, "What's wrong? What do you want to say? Speak slowly."

What else?! Our kissing photos are trending, the whole country knows! You're asking me what happened?!

"Looking at me now, all frightened and pitiful, is it hard to tell what's wrong?!" Mingxi thought to herself.

However, she still tried her best to maintain her composure, slowly lifting her head from Chu Yu's embrace and looking at him pitifully, "Brother Chu, you really won't abandon me, will you?"

The more he talked, the more absurd it became. Chu Yu reached out and pinched his cheek. "What do you mean I don't want you anymore? What kind of act are you putting on now?"

"I wasn't acting! Didn't I just tell you on the phone? People online are saying you'll dump me, saying I'm your kept woman... You're just playing around with me, and your family won't accept me..."

Although Mingxi's acting was terrible, Chu Yu didn't call him out on it. Instead, he went along with his words, saying, "They're just strangers online. Why do you care what they say?"

"I never thought of leaving you. Who would dare leave you?! You always say that you're mine in life and my soul in death, and that you'll stay with me for life. How could I dare leave you?" He added a few teasing remarks.

Of course, I absolutely wouldn't dare! Mingxi was secretly thrilled, but her face still looked aggrieved.

"But...but what if your family doesn't like me? What if they see all that nonsense and fake news online? Will they hate me and want you to break up with me?"

"No, who I'm with is my private life, and they have no right to interfere."

"What if, what if your parents insist that you break up with me? What will you do?"

Mingxi stared at him stubbornly, her arms around Chu Yu's waist tightening even more, as if to say, "If you don't tell me, this isn't over today."

Chu Yu sighed softly, "I won't care. Who sleeps in my bed is none of anyone else's business."

Perhaps annoyed by Mingxi's inexplicable and foolish questions, Chu Yu unconsciously adopted a demeanor reminiscent of his past life when speaking, exuding an imposing and somewhat intimidating aura.

Mingxi, who was being stared at, unconsciously tightened her grip slightly, but she had already gotten the answer he wanted, so it didn't matter what.

Mingxi stopped pestering him and moved her hands from Chu Yu's waist to his neck, wrapping her arms around his neck.

She then pressed her head against Chu Yu's chest, snuggling into his arms in a way that suggested she needed protection.

"Brother Chu, I believe in you, I love you so much, I don't want to be separated from you, we want to be together forever."

Chu Yu gently stroked the head of the person in his arms, "Yes, we will be together forever."

Having received the promise of "forever," Mingxi started acting up again, snuggling close to Chu Yu and saying, "Brother Chu~ then kiss me."

After saying that, he raised his head, staring at Chu Yu with his big cat eyes, looking expectantly.

Chu Yu smiled helplessly, cupped Mingxi's chin in his hand, and lowered his head... lingering for a long time.

Feeling completely in control of Chu Yu, Mingxi said with a grin, "Brother Chu, I'm going to post on Weibo to fight back against those haters and let them know that you're my boyfriend!"

"Also, can I send you photos of us? Everyone else who's dating sends them, but I've never done that before..."

"If it doesn't affect your work, I don't mind. But it's best not to post my face in the photos. I don't like showing my face online and being discussed by the public."

"Of course it won't affect my work. Many celebrities go public with their relationships these days. I'll cover your face when I send you photos." Mingxi didn't care much about whether Chu Yulu showed her face or not; she was happy as long as he was willing to appear on camera.

"Brother Chu~ Husband~ You're so good to me, I love you to death." She said, giving Chu Yu another reward kiss.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Feeling better now?"

"Uh-huh."

"Get up, fasten your seatbelt, I'll take you to my house to meet my parents."

"What?!" Happiness came too suddenly! All the good things happened in one day!

Mingxi's eyes widened even more, making her look even more like an adorable kitten.

"What? Don't you want to go?" Chu Yu teased deliberately.

"How could I? Of course I want to go. They're your parents, I definitely want to see them. It's just that it's all so sudden..."

Mingxi's mind raced instantly. Was he going to have to put on a show like, "With your status, you can't get into the Lin family! Here's five million! Leave my son!"

But shouldn't this be done behind Brother Chu's back, by contacting him privately? Why did you just let him come to your door?

Judging from the expression on his face, Chu Yu knew that he was lost in thought again, so he directly interrupted the little drama in his mind.

"It wasn't sudden. After that paparazzi broke the news, my mom and the others all knew that you were my boyfriend. It's normal for them, as parents, to want to meet you."

Mingxi looked at Chu Yu suspiciously, but no matter how she looked at him, his expression was normal, so Mingxi believed that it was Lin Zhenghong and his wife who wanted to see him.

And it shouldn't be some kind of scheme to bribe him to quit, but even if it is, he's not afraid!

Mingxi thought to himself, "Anyway, I've got Brother Chu completely under my control. He's incredibly strong now! He's not afraid of anyone!"

Thinking this, Mingxi, who was about to meet her future "father-in-law and mother-in-law," shifted her focus to something else.

"Oh dear! If I had known I was meeting my aunt and uncle today, I would have dressed up nicely. How am I supposed to go looking like this?!"

As she spoke, she began to examine herself in the mirror and tidy up her messy hair.

The more I look at it, the less satisfied I feel. I should get a makeover today to leave a good impression on his future in-laws.

If Chu Yu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely think to himself, "You don't have a good impression of them anymore."

Zhao Ruoying must be furious right now; she expressed her dissatisfaction with Mingxi during their phone call.

Chu Yu didn't say much, only that Mingxi was fine, and that he wanted to take Mingxi back to see them.

Chu Yu is someone who doesn't like to discuss his private life with others, so he hadn't mentioned Ming Xi's existence before.

Even though he knew Zhao Ruoying knew he had a boyfriend but pretended not to, he had no intention of bringing it up.

But now that his relationship with Mingxi is completely out in the open, Zhao Ruoying still seems very hostile towards Mingxi.

It would be very necessary for him to formally introduce himself to them, and also to inform everyone not to try to interfere in his private life.

As for why Zhao Ruoying has such hostility towards Mingxi, it's easy to guess that her understanding of Mingxi probably comes from the "negative information" circulating online.

Once they get to know each other, she'll like him. No one can dislike Mingxi, who's like a little sun, bringing only joy, and is both cute and innocent.

Seeing that Mingxi was a little nervous because she was about to meet his parents, Chu Yu smiled and said, "You look perfect already, you don't need to dress up."

Mingxi smiled and glanced at him, her eyes crinkling. "You have such a sweet tongue, always trying to flatter me~"

"By the way, Brother Chu, since this is my first time visiting your home, I should at least bring a gift. What should I get? What do your parents like?"

"Buy some fruit. We have everything we need at home. It's just polite to bring something when you come in."

"Oh? Just buying fruit? Isn't that a bit rude?"

"No, even if you bring gold, they won't care much for it. The thought is what counts."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's hurry up and get going, so as not to keep Uncle and Auntie waiting."

Chu Yu smiled and pinched Mingxi's cheek. "So sensible."

"That's right."

Mingxi couldn't wait to "meet" Chu Yu's parents, no, to "visit" his future in-laws.
