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

Downstairs in an old residential building.

After parking the car, Li Xixue did not get out immediately. Instead, she pulled down the sun visor, glanced at herself in the mirror, and only got out of the car after confirming that her appearance was acceptable.

Then, she took the two bags from the back seat and checked their contents.

Very meticulous.

It's just like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.

Li Xixue touched up her lipstick, then took out a makeup mirror to check her appearance.

Lu Yang couldn't help but ask, "How many times have you taken those photos already...?"

Li Xixue flicked her hair, snapped the makeup mirror shut, and gave a "mind your own business" look.

The two then entered the residential building.

"Fourth floor, no elevator," Lu Yang reminded him.

"I know."

Li Xixue carried the bag and walked towards the entrance of the building.

He took two steps, then stopped.

"Are you sure... you want to tell me today?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

To be honest, he wasn't mentally prepared either.

But the mother-in-law had already made her point.

After all, it was the Empress Dowager's decree. If they dared to disobey, they would certainly face dire consequences if they didn't speak up today.

"Just say it, it's only a matter of time."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement.

We arrived at the entrance on the fourth floor.

Lu Yang knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Zhou Huifang's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Mom."

"Xiao Yang?"

The door opened from the inside.

Zhou Huifang was wearing a floral apron and holding a spatula. When she saw the person behind Lu Yang, she was stunned for a moment.

Then she recognized him.

"Manager Li... Manager Li?"

Li Xixue stood at the door.

She was carrying two bags and gave Zhou Huifang a smile.

Hello, Auntie.

Zhou Huifang quickly switched the spatula to her left hand, wiping her right hand on her apron twice: "Come in, come in! Oh, what brings you here?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lu Yang again: "Manager Li is coming, why didn't you tell me beforehand? We didn't prepare anything at home."

Lu Yang touched his nose: "It was a last-minute decision."

Li Xixue prepared to change her shoes and go inside.

Zhou Huifang quickly said, "Manager Li, you don't need to change your shoes, just come in."

"Yes, I will."

Li Xixue said very politely.

She was like a well-behaved girl.

Li Xixue handed over what she was carrying, giving a gentle smile: "Auntie, this is for you and Uncle, just a little something."

Zhou Huifang glanced at the contents of the bag.

The tea packaging also had some unfamiliar brands, but it looked very expensive.

"This...you've gone to so much trouble again! We haven't even finished the things you gave us last time!"

"It's not expensive, Auntie; it's just a regular gift."

Is it normal?

"Hmm, it's just average."

"All right."

Zhou Huifang didn't recognize the brand, but thought the packaging was nice, and thanked them repeatedly.

Lu Jianguo was sitting on the sofa in the hall when he saw Li Xixue walk in from the door.

"Manager Li is here?"

Hello, Uncle.

Li Xixue greeted him very politely.

"Okay, okay."

Lu Jianguo quickly said, "Quickly, Manager Li, please make yourself at home. I'll go make some tea right now!"

Zhou Huifang called out from behind, "Don't use that expired tea!"

"I know!"

Lu Jianguo finished speaking in a bad mood, and then went to make tea.

Li Xixue glanced around the hall. Just like last time, there was a blue and white checkered cloth on the coffee table. Although it wasn't large, it was very clean.

"sit!"

Zhou Huifang pulled Li Xixue's hand and walked towards the sofa.

Li Xixue sat down, legs together, back straight.

Lu Yang watched from the side.

To be honest, this woman's posture is more formal than when she's in a company meeting.

Zhou Huifang rubbed her hands together, looking a little constrained: "Manager Li, what brings you here today? Did Xiao Yang cause trouble at the company again?"

"no……"

Li Xixue quickly shook her head.

"So, what brings you here today?"

"that is……"

Li Xixue paused for a moment.

What did you say?

So you're saying I'm here today as your daughter-in-law?

She couldn't open her mouth.

Lu Yang coughed lightly and chimed in for her, "Mom, Manager Li came once before, right? This is just a follow-up visit, and he'll come see you while he's here."

Zhou Huifang responded with an "oh," and her face immediately lit up with a smile:

"Oh, that's too kind! Your boss even does follow-up visits?"

"...Well, sort of," Lu Yang said.

At this moment, Lu Jianguo came out of the kitchen carrying tea.

Each person poured themselves a glass.

"Manager Li, have some tea."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Li Xixue accepted it with both hands.

Lu Jianguo sat back on the sofa, and there was a moment of silence.

Lu Yang sat down next to him, his hands on his knees, and began to think about how to get to the point.

If we keep talking like this, we'll never get to the point, even until dark.

But saying it directly would be too abrupt.

Mom and Dad, she's not actually my boss, she's my wife?

Moreover, his wife is the president of Xueyu Company, the most powerful company in the city.

Upon hearing this, Lao Lu's first reaction was probably not to be happy, but to dial 110 (the emergency number in China).

We need to find a transition period.

Zhou Huifang has already started talking.

"Manager Li, have you come over for breakfast? How about the auntie cooks you a bowl of noodles?"

"I've already eaten, thank you, Auntie."

"Then don't leave for lunch, eat here. Xiaoyang is back today too, I'll cook some of Auntie's specialties for you."

"this……"

"It's settled then!"

Zhou Huifang slapped her thigh, got up, and walked towards the kitchen.

Lu Yang quickly stopped her: "Mom, sit down for a while, we can talk about lunchtime later."

Zhou Huifang glanced back at him, then at Li Xixue, before sitting back down with a suspicious look on her face.

The two sat side by side, Li Xixue fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, while Lu Yang seemed hesitant to speak.

Not right.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huifang asked, "What brings you two here today...?"

She didn't know why she asked that question; perhaps it was a woman's intuition.

Lu Yang and Li Xixue exchanged a glance.

Li Xixue meant: You go first.

Lu Yang meant: What did I say?

Li Xixue gave him another look: This is your Empress Dowager.

Ok.

Lu Yang cleared his throat: "Um... Dad, Mom, actually, there is something I want to tell you today."

Lu Jianguo put down his teacup and looked at him.

Zhou Huifang also straightened up.

As parents.

Of course they noticed.

Why are these two kids acting so strange today?

Moreover, Li Xixue seemed a little shy.

Can't we just start dating?

"What is it?"

The couple said in unison.

"that is……"

Lu Yang took a deep breath and then looked at Li Xixue, who made no comment: "Regarding the relationship between me and Manager Li..."

Zhou Huifang blinked.

Lu Jianguo's eyebrows twitched.

"What is your relationship with him?"

The two were stunned, their eyes fixed on Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took a deep breath and said directly, "Manager Li is now... um, my girlfriend."
