A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"..."

Li Xixue fell silent.

It's not that she didn't want to go.

The problem is, what should I say after I get there?

After all, their relationship is not yet public.

In Lu Yang's parents' eyes, she is now Lu Yang's boss.

What if a boss suddenly visits his subordinate's parents?

Isn't that strange?

You can't exactly say, "I came here today specifically because I married your son, can you?"

Thinking about this...

Li Xixue felt a chill run down her spine.

I should never have told that lie to Lu Yang in the first place.

it's good now.

Isn't this digging a hole for myself?

"Mom, our relationship hasn't been made public to my father-in-law's parents yet..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xixue could only say this.

"It hasn't been made public yet?"

Song Qiulan's expression changed instantly.

It wasn't anger, but the expression of someone who had discovered a problem and was ready to solve it.

Song Qiulan turned to look at Lu Yang: "Xiao Yang, do your parents not know about your relationship?"

Lu Yang replied somewhat vaguely, "Um... I haven't said yet."

Song Qiulan frowned.

"Then we definitely have to go! It's good that it hasn't been made public yet; it'll be made public tomorrow, right?"

The two: "..."

But thinking about it carefully...

This logic doesn't seem wrong.

Since it hasn't been made public yet, can't it be made public if we go tomorrow?

"But……"

"What else could it be?"

Song Qiulan looked at her daughter and said, "You're living with someone else and even slept with their son, and their parents still don't know? What kind of nonsense is this? People who don't know might think my daughter is ill-mannered."

"???"

Li Xixue opened her mouth.

No, what does this have to do with upbringing?

Also, what do you mean by "slept with someone else's son"?

Is it possible that I could be the one being slept with?

I am your daughter.

Honey!

Song Qiulan continued, "And another thing, if you keep quiet, what will their parents think of us if they find out from someone else? They'll think we're hiding things and looking down on them!"

"I didn't look down on it..."

"That solves it, doesn't it?"

Song Qiulan slammed her hand on the table: "Go tomorrow! Remember to bring lots of gifts!"

"Mom, can we slow down a bit more...?"

"cannot."

Song Qiulan said decisively, "There is no time to lose!"

Li Xixue shut her mouth.

She knew her mother too well; once her mother made up her mind, nothing could change it.

In this respect, she is quite similar to herself.

Li Guoqing silently picked up some food from the side without saying a word.

He had long since learned to remain silent in such situations.

Li Xiaochen, however, couldn't resist teasing her older sister. It was rare to see her sister looking so embarrassed, so she chuckled and said:

"Sis, are you nervous? But it's normal to be a little nervous when it's your first time meeting your in-laws."

"By the way, sis, remember to dress plainly tomorrow, and don't always have that cold, sour face, or people will think someone's son owes you money..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Li Xixue simply glanced at her.

Li Xiaochen immediately shut up and started eating in silence.

Upon seeing this.

Lu Yang and Li Guoqing exchanged a glance.

They look exactly alike, mother and daughter!

After finishing the meal.

While clearing away the dishes, Song Qiulan suddenly turned around and glanced at Lu Yang and Li Xixue, who were preparing to slip away.

"By the way, Xiaoyang, don't go back tonight, stay here instead."

"Xiaoxue's room is still empty. I just washed the quilt a couple of days ago and changed the quilt cover."

Lu Yang was about to stand up when he heard this, so he sat back down.

Li Xixue was also stunned.

Staying here?

Song Qiulan stared at the two of them and said seriously, "Anyway, you're going to Xiaoyang's place tomorrow, so it's convenient to go from here, saving you from having to rush back and forth so early in the morning."

"Besides, it's not safe to run around like this so late at night."

Lu Yang glanced at Li Xixue.

Li Xixue also glanced at him.

Both of them understood that Song Qiulan wasn't afraid of being unsafe at all.

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid they'll find an excuse not to go tomorrow.

As long as we leave them here, they're definitely not going to escape tomorrow.

The mother-in-law's trick...

tough enough.

"Mom, really, you don't need to..."

"I've already had the housekeeper make the bed."

Song Qiulan's smile was gentle, but her tone left no room for negotiation.

It's 9:30 p.m.

Li Xixue pushed open the door to her room on the second floor.

The room was large and very clean, with light pink walls, a row of books on the bookshelf, and a Doro pink puppy-shaped lamp on the bedside table.

Li Xixue walked over carrying two sets of clothes and shoved one of them into Lu Yang's hands.

"My brother's."

Lu Yang glanced down and saw it was a set of gray loungewear.

"Go wash up first."

Li Xixue pointed to the bathroom in the bedroom.

Lu Yang said "Oh," and left with the clothes.

Wait until he finishes washing up and comes out.

Li Xixue had already changed into a light gray, loose cotton nightgown that reached just above her knees. Her hair was down, slightly curled, and draped over her shoulders.

She sat on the edge of the bed, the light from her phone screen reflecting on her face.

Lu Yang dried his hair and walked over.

She looked up briefly, then looked down again to continue looking at her phone.

"How about I sleep in the guest room tonight?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said.

After all, you have to behave yourself at your mother-in-law's house.

Li Xixue didn't even look up: "Don't even think about it, my mom locked the guest room a long time ago."

"..."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

Is it locked?

What does that mean?

Lu Yang rubbed his nose and looked at the 2.2-meter-wide bed.

Fine.

I'm used to sleeping there anyway.

However, this was the first time I had ever slept in Li Xixue's old bed.

Well, how should I put it?

A faint fragrance wafted through the room.

It's the kind of fragrance that lingers for a long time.

It also has a touch of vintage charm.

He walked over, lifted the blanket, and lay down directly on it.

The mattress is very soft, and the pillows are comfortable.

The two people were about half a meter apart.

The room was quiet for a while.

Li Xixue was looking at her phone.

Lu Yang put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling.

A pink ceiling.

There were also a few fluorescent stars pasted on it.

"Did you put this up when you were a child?"

"Um."

"That's pretty childish."

Li Xixue ignored him.

A while later.

Lu Yang turned to face her.

Li Xixue noticed his gaze, lowered her phone slightly in front of her chest, and frowned as she looked at him.

"what?"

Lu Yang stared intently at her, blinked, and asked, "Are you nervous tomorrow?"

Li Xixue's finger stopped on the screen.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

"Go see my parents."

Li Xixue frowned.

She didn't say anything.

But judging from her turning her head away, Lu Yang knew that she cared about this matter.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

Li Xixue's voice was very low: "It's not like it's the first time we've met..."

"Yes, it's not the first time we've met, but last time it was in my superior's capacity."

Lu Yang smiled and reminded him, "Tomorrow will be different."

Li Xixue turned over, facing away from him.

"What's the difference?"

"You'll be going tomorrow as a daughter-in-law."
