Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Since Lin Wan became completely obedient, her relationship with Chen Xinyi has become increasingly harmonious.

The two had a clear division of labor: Chen Xinyi was responsible for cooking and making soup, while Lin Wan was responsible for cleaning and taking care of Xu Xing's daily life. They worked together perfectly.

Sometimes when Xu Xing went to stay with Liu Qing for a couple of days, they wouldn't ask too many questions. They would just take better care of him when he came back.

Occasionally, when Li Yuting invites him out, he will go and enjoy the energy of a young girl.

This kind of life is simply the life of a god.

Time flies, and it's already the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.

That morning, Xu Xing drove his Maybach back to his hometown with Chen Xinyi in tow.

Chen Xinyi was wearing a loose down jacket, her belly was already noticeably protruding, and she subconsciously held her waist while walking.

Xu Xing parked the car at the village entrance and helped Chen Xinyi out of the car.

The villagers looked at them with curiosity.

"Oh, Xu Xing's back? Is this your wife?"

"Wow, that belly must be four or five months along!"

Congratulations!

Xu Xing greeted everyone with a smile and helped Chen Xinyi walk towards the old house.

Inside the old house, several elders of the Xu family were already waiting.

As Xu Xing helped Chen Xinyi into the room, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xinyi's stomach.

"Oh my, this must be Xinyi! Please sit down, don't stand!"

"Old man! Come and see, Xu Xing's wife's belly is so big!"

"This girl is beautiful; she's a perfect match for Xu Xing!"

Several aunts and uncles gathered around, praising Chen Xinyi and asking her how many months pregnant she was, whether she had a good appetite, and if there was anything she wanted to eat.

Chen Xinyi answered each question with grace and poise, which made the Xu family elders like her more and more.

After returning to Chang'an, Chen Xinyi began to worry.

Her belly was becoming more and more obvious, and the Spring Festival was just a few days away. She would definitely have to go back to see her father and stepmother.

What should she say when her father asks?

"Xu Xing, I definitely need to go home for the New Year, but what about my dad?"

Xu Xing leaned back on the sofa, thought for a moment, and said, "How about I go back with you?"

"Will you come back with me?"

Chen Xinyi was taken aback for a moment, "Then in what capacity will you go?"

"Your boyfriend."

"What if all the aunts and uncles start pressuring me to get married? Or ask me other questions?"

"Then let's confront your uncle first."

Xu Xing put down his phone and said, "Hasn't your uncle always been very fond of you? Talk to him first and ask him to help you figure out how to deal with your dad."

Chen Xinyi thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.

Her maternal uncle, Zhao Yongchang, is the chairman of Shaanxi Southern Mining Group and carries considerable weight within the family.

As long as he's willing to step in and help, things shouldn't be too difficult with my father.

"Okay, I'll call my uncle tomorrow and arrange a time to meet."

The next morning, Chen Xinyi called Zhao Yongchang.

"Uncle, I'd like to come see you tomorrow. There's something I want to tell you."

"What's wrong? Can't I say it over the phone?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk about it in person."

Zhao Yongchang was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, then come over tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you at home."

The next afternoon, Xu Xing drove Chen Xinyi to Zhao Yongchang's villa.

Xu Xing parked the car at the entrance and helped Chen Xinyi out of the car.

Zhao Yongchang, wearing a dark blue Chinese-style jacket, stood at the door waiting for them.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw Chen Xinyi get out of the car with her pregnant belly.

"Xinyi, your belly..."

Chen Xinyi smiled, stepped forward and took his arm: "Uncle, let's go inside and talk."

The three of them walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

The nanny served tea and then left.

Zhao Yongchang's gaze remained fixed on Chen Xinyi's stomach, his expression shifting constantly.

Finally, his gaze turned to Xu Xing, his eyes filled with a scrutinizing look.

Chen Xinyi didn't keep anyone in suspense. After taking a deep breath, she explained the whole story in detail.

From her meeting Xu Xing through Lin Wan, to their getting together, and the current relationship between the three of them...

After hearing this, Zhao Yongchang's face grew increasingly grim.

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and started whipping his belt: "Isn't this utter nonsense?!"

He glared at Xu Xing, his eyes practically spitting fire: "Xu Xing! I kindly introduced my niece to you, and this is how you treat her? Getting entangled with other women?"

Just as Xu Xing was about to speak, Chen Xinyi stood up first and blocked his way.

"Uncle! Don't blame him! It really isn't his fault!"

"Whose fault is it if not his? Yours?"

"Blame me!"

Chen Xinyi stated confidently, "I was the one who pursued him first, and I was the one who stayed with him. I also agreed to Lin Wan's situation!"

Zhao Yongchang was so angry his beard was trembling: "You...you're so foolish!"

Chen Xinyi pouted and retorted, "Uncle, don't just talk about us. Do you think I don't know what you've been up to outside?"

Zhao Yongchang was taken aback: "What do you mean, 'what's wrong'?"

"What did you say?"

Chen Xinyi put her hands on her hips and asked, "How many women did you keep on the side when you were young? Do you want me to tell you all of them?"

Even now, though you're older and your strength isn't what it used to be, you still have two or three dependents, don't you?

Zhao Yongchang's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

He opened his mouth to refute, but found himself unable to do so.

Because everything Chen Xinyi said was true.

Zhao Yongchang does indeed have many women outside. He was dashing and charming when he was young, and although he is older now, he has never lacked women because of his wealth and power.

"That...that's different!"

"What's the difference?"

Chen Xinyi argued vehemently, "You men are all the same! Besides, my Xu Xing is so handsome, so young, and so rich. To say that no woman outside has designs on him is utter nonsense!"

She paused, her tone softening slightly: "Rather than letting other little vixens take advantage of the situation, it's better to let Lin Wan exist."

Lin Wan and I have been friends for many years, we know each other inside and out, and besides, she was Lin Wan's boyfriend back then, and I was the one who came between us.

Zhao Yongchang was speechless.

He sat back on the sofa, rubbed his temples, and looked helpless.

"What the hell am I supposed to say about you?"

Chen Xinyi said in a coquettish tone, "Uncle, you love me the most, please help me!"

Zhao Yongchang looked at her smiling face, then at her protruding belly, and finally sighed.

"So you came to me today hoping I'd clean up your mess?"

"Oh, don't put it so harshly."

Chen Xinyi pouted, "Besides, when my mom was still alive, didn't she help you deal with a lot of messy things? Now it's your turn to help me."
