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

Lu Yang stared at the long string of messages from Li Xiaochen on the screen, reading them from beginning to end.

Li Xiaochen replied with a series of crying emojis after the message.

To be honest, he could picture that scene.

Although he was unsure of the other man's personality, he had experienced his own father's character firsthand.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and then replied with a message.

【come on.】

About ten seconds passed.

Li Xiaochen's message popped up.

[Brother-in-law, are you even human?!]

[I'm suffering here and all you give me is a "good luck" message???]

After reading it, Lu Yang replied with another message.

【Then switch hands.】

Li Xiaochen couldn't help but reply: 【Brother-in-law, do you know? I just took a dump, and the toilet bowl was covered in the words "Keep it to yourself!"】

Then put it back.

There was silence for about ten seconds.

Then a voice message pops up.

Lu Yang opened the phone, and Li Xiaochen's voice came through, trembling with tears: "Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong, please, please tell my sister to call my dad and get me out of there, okay?"

at this time.

Li Xixue came out of the bedroom. She had changed into a nightgown and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. When she saw Lu Yang looking at his phone, she casually asked him a question.

"Whose message?"

"Your brother."

Li Xixue's expression turned somewhat indifferent.

"What did you say?"

"Your dad punished him by making him copy it a thousand times and keep quiet. He wasn't allowed to leave the house until he finished copying it."

Li Xixue responded with an "oh," her expression remaining completely unchanged.

Lu Yang glanced at her but did not plead for Li Xiaochen.

After all, it was his own fault for being so talkative.

Consider it a lesson to the other party.

Lu Yang put down his phone and leaned back on the sofa.

"We need to go over the weekend meeting in advance."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement, picked up a glass of water, and twirled her finger on the glass: "Location, that restaurant in the south of the city. I'll call and make a reservation tomorrow."

Lu Yang nodded.

She can arrange the location; after all, she's already scouted it out.

"What about your dad? Has the date been set?" Lu Yang asked.

"My dad said Saturday noon."

"OK."

The two remained silent for a few seconds.

Lu Yang rubbed his hands together and said, "There's something else I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

Lu Yang thought about his words and finally decided to cut to the chase.

"My mother already knows who you are."

Li Xixue was raising her water glass to her lips when she heard this and paused.

"What is your identity?"

Lu Yang looked at her: "Your current status as CEO."

Li Xixue spat out the saliva in her mouth.

Water splashed onto the sofa, and some of it sprayed onto the neatly folded scarf.

Li Xixue was stunned for two seconds.

Her first reaction wasn't to wipe her mouth, but to quickly pick up the scarf and shake it twice.

"What did you say?!"

Lu Yang handed him a tissue.

Li Xixue snatched it away, first wiping the scarf, and finally wiping the corner of her mouth.

"What did you tell your mother?"

"Let's just say it directly."

"???"

Li Xixue put down her scarf, turned to face Lu Yang, and crossed her legs on the sofa.

Why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand?

Lu Yang sighed and said, "I wasn't planning to tell you today, but my mom figured it out."

"What did you figure out?"

Li Xixue pursed her lips.

You know, my outfit today doesn't have any designer brands.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at her: "My aunt had my cousin check the brand of that cake, and it turned out to be worth seven or eight thousand yuan. How could a normal, ordinary family possibly buy such an expensive cake? Then my mom dragged me into a small dark room for questioning."

"And then you told me everything?"

"Otherwise what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue gently closed her eyes for a moment.

Ok.

Her pot.

However, upon closer reflection, I realized that I could no longer hide my identity and would have to reveal it sooner or later.

Although it's a bit early, saying it now saves me some trouble in a way.

"What was your mom's reaction?"

Li Xixue thought for a moment and then asked.

Lu Yang recalled for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "At first, she didn't believe it."

"and then?"

"And then I believed it."

"And then what?"

Lu Yang paused for a moment: "She said... she shouldn't have piled so many chicken legs in your bowl just now."

Li Xixue: "..."

What kind of reaction is this?

"Anything else?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment and replied, "Nervous, but not repulsed."

Li Xixue picked up the scarf, wiped it carefully again, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Does your dad know?

"I didn't know, but I should know by now."

"..."

Li Xixue folded the scarf again and put it back beside her.

"Will your parents feel too awkward when we meet this weekend?"

Lu Yang had also thought about this problem.

When Zhou Huifang thought Li Xixue was a company manager, she spoke very naturally, holding her hand and chatting as if she were talking to her own daughter.

But now that we know his true identity, I wonder what it will be like to sit in front of my in-laws' house.

"My parents are the kind of people who, as nervous as they are, can still keep their composure when things get serious."

Are you sure?

"……uncertain."

Li Xixue glared at him.

Forget it.

forget about it.

Let's talk about it when we meet.

The two sat on the sofa for a while.

To be honest, I went to my hometown today and talked a lot, which was more mentally exhausting than going to work.

But we still have to get busy.

Li Xixue was the first to move. She got up from the sofa, picked up her laptop, sat cross-legged at the other end of the sofa, and opened her company email.

My inbox is overflowing with unread emails; I've flipped through several pages, but I still can't finish.

She hasn't really been involved in company affairs these past few days.

To be precise, ever since that pregnancy test incident, her mind has been completely off work.

As a result, after not checking for a few days, the emails piled up like a mountain.

Lu Yang wasn't idle either.

He took out his phone and first opened Xia Ning's messages.

Starting at 2 PM, one message is sent approximately every half hour.

[Boss, all the tables and chairs are in place!]

[Boss, the menu lightbox is installed!]

[Boss, the POS system has passed the test!]

[Boss, I've checked all the ingredients in the refrigerator, and their expiration dates are fine!]

[Boss, I tried out the sign light at the entrance, and it looks especially beautiful at night! I took a picture, take a look!]

[Boss, everything is ready except for the final push! Grand opening tomorrow!!!]
