Marriage First, True Love Later Novel

192 His gentleness

When Zhou han sent his mother back, Lin Li and the rest were still chatting in the living room. However, the expressions on their faces were no longer as serious as they were in the morning. They were now talking and laughing.

Lin Li turned her head when she heard the voice and happened to meet Zhou Han’s eyes, who was standing at the door. The two of them looked at each other for a while. Lin Li opened her eyes a little awkwardly, and her face inexplicably became a little hot.

Mother Lin also saw Zhou han standing at the door. She smiled and said to Zhou han, ” Zhou Han’s back. Did you send your mother back? ”

Zhou han nodded his head. His usually cold face now had an extremely natural smile on it. He walked towards mother Lin and said, ” yes, I’ve already sent my mother home. As he said this, he naturally stood beside Lin Li and called out to father Lin, ” uncle.

Father Lin was still a little embarrassed. He only nodded and didn’t say anything.

Mother Lin thought of something and asked, ” “Child, are you not used to your mother?” She thought that the child was quite quiet and not as lively as other children. She was a little too quiet.

Zhou han nodded. he won’t. Xiao bin is very obedient. He won’t make a fuss.

Mother Lin was relieved to hear that. She nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Zhou han raised his hand to look at his watch, then turned to look at Lin Li and said, ” it’s getting late. Lin Li, let’s take uncle and aunty out for lunch. We didn’t eat much at the hospital this afternoon.

Only then did Lin Li react. This afternoon, because she had accompanied her father to do all kinds of examinations, they had all rushed through the afternoon. Strictly speaking, they hadn’t eaten anything at all. Her father had been on an empty stomach the whole time because of the examination.

He nodded and looked at his parents. that’s right. Dad, mom, you didn’t eat much at noon. Let’s go and eat first.

Mother Lin nodded. It was fine if he didn’t say it. They didn’t feel anything while chatting, but now that he mentioned it, she was really a little hungry. She looked at Zhou han and smiled. don’t go out to eat. It’s too troublesome. We’ll just make something to eat at home. Then, he turned to look at Lin Li and asked, ” “What do you have at home? I’ll make it for you.”

Lin Li laughed dryly and touched her nose. “I wanted to buy it this morning, but I received your call just as I was about to leave, so I didn’t manage to buy it.”

Zhou han chuckled and reached out to touch Lin Li’s head. He didn’t even notice his actions. He only looked at father Lin and mother Lin and said, ” uncle, aunty, there’s a pretty good Chinese restaurant nearby. Let’s go and try it together? ”

Mother Lin smiled at the two of them and turned to ASK FATHER Lin, ” “Elder Lin, go on.”

Father Lin’s mouth twitched. He nodded and said, ” “Alright,” he said.

After making the decision, they got up and prepared to go downstairs together. Because they had to get their car, Zhou han and Lin Li walked in front, while father Lin and mother Lin followed behind.

Zhou han was tall, so his steps were naturally larger when he walked. Although Lin Li wasn’t short, she was half a head shorter than Zhou han. She jogged to keep up with his footsteps and walked side by side with him. Lin Li asked in a low voice, ” “Did you take advantage of me just now?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou han raised his eyebrows and looked at her sideways. The corners of his mouth curled up and he asked, ” “Oh, really? When was that?”

“This morning, and just now!” Lin Li asked, ” you held my hand in the morning and put your arm around my waist. You even rubbed my head just now. Aren’t you doing this a little too naturally, Mr. Zhou? ”

Zhou han laughed and said disapprovingly, ” “I thought I was acting. I didn’t expect you to take it seriously.”

Lin Li’s face unconsciously blushed at his words, and she quickly explained, ” “I, I didn’t take it seriously. How could I take it seriously? I just, I just thought it was unnecessary!”

Zhou han stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her.

Lin Li also stopped and looked at him strangely, not quite understanding what he was trying to do. She asked, ” “What are you doing? why did you stop?”

Zhou Han’s eyes swept over father Lin and mother Lin, who were walking behind him. Then, he bent over and whispered in Lin Li’s ear, ” “Do you think we’ll let outsiders see that we’re very close?”

you ... Lin Li was at a loss for words and couldn’t answer for a moment. He was too close and he could clearly feel his breath blowing into her ears. The warm and ticklish feeling made her face heat up. Without looking at the mirror, Lin Li knew that her face must be red at this moment. She subconsciously reached out to push him away, but her hand was held by Zhou han. She only heard Zhou han say in his ear, ” “I don’t like to make simple things too complicated. It’s a waste of time for me to wait for you to think of the lines and plot before arranging how to cooperate with you. You just don’t want your parents to worry, right? Then we’ll just make it more realistic. Won’t your parents be more at ease this way?” After he finished speaking, he pushed her away and looked at her with a faint smile.

Lin Li looked at him in a daze and didn’t react for a while. In fact, he was right. She didn’t want her parents to worry about her anymore. Her parents had been worried about her for almost thirty years. She shouldn’t let them worry about her anymore. Just like he said, she should continue acting like this to make her parents believe that she was really living well and make them feel at ease. But what about in the future? what if they got a divorce in the future? how was she going to explain it to her parents?

Just as Lin Li was still thinking about how she was going to explain to her parents if they got divorced in the future, Zhou han had already reached out his hand and directly held her hand as they walked forward.

Lin Li’s reaction was a step too slow, so she could only be dragged away by him in a daze.

Father Lin and mother Lin looked at Lin Li and Zhou han, who were walking in front of them, and the two of them smiled in similar ways.

“I’m relieved to see them like this.” Mother Lin sighed softly. Her tone was relaxed.

Father Lin didn’t say anything. The smile on his face showed that he agreed with his wife’s words. He nodded and continued to walk.

The Chinese restaurant that Zhou han mentioned was actually a hotel with a four-star standard and above. It had the ability to host banquets and banquets on its own.

Zhou han parked the car in the parking space in front of the hotel and turned off the engine. He turned to father Lin and mother Lin and said, ” “Uncle, aunty, we’ve arrived.”

Father Lin looked at the hotel outside the car window and stammered, ” this ... This doesn’t look like a normal Chinese restaurant!

my client PEI came here before. The food here is really good, so I’ve been wanting to come back and try it again. I have the opportunity today. Zhou han said with a faint smile.

The few of them got out of the car. When they reached the entrance of the hotel, father Lin and mother Lin were in a daze again. It could be seen that the expenses here were definitely not low. Thinking that it was just a normal meal for a few people, there was no need to be so extravagant and wasteful. Thinking of this, mother Lin said, Zhou han, I think we should just find an affordable restaurant to eat. There’s no need to come to such a good place.

Zhou han looked at her and said, ” Auntie, it won’t cost much. I’m close to the manager here. He will give me a discount.

Seeing that he was insistent, mother Lin didn’t say anything more and the few of them entered the hotel one after another.

Zhou han asked for a very elegant private room. It wasn’t too big, but for the four of them, it was spacious.

Since they had taken their seats, the waiter quickly brought a pot of tea and a menu for them to order.

Zhou han passed the menu to father Lin and mother Lin like a gentleman. Father Lin took the menu and looked at it for a long time. The names of the dishes were poetic and artistic, but he couldn’t guess what they were after looking at it for a long time. In the end, he pushed the menu back to Zhou han and let him order it himself.

Zhou han didn’t stand on ceremony anymore. He took the menu and ordered several dishes.

After ordering, the waiter took the menu back and politely pushed it out of the private room.

After the waiter left, Zhou han picked up the teapot and poured everyone a cup of tea. While waiting for the dishes, mother Lin casually asked, ” “Ah han, what’s your job?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou han glanced at Lin Li, who was sitting beside her, and then looked up and smiled at mother Lin. “I’m just running a small business.”

Lin Li glanced at him and muttered in her heart. If opening such a big company could only be considered a small business, then there were really very few people in the world who could be called doing business.

Mother Lin didn’t notice her daughter’s strange behavior and only nodded. She didn’t want to get to the bottom of it and changed the topic.”What do your parents do? Do you have any other siblings at home?” Since she had already decided that this man was her son-in-law, she should at least understand the basic situation first.

Zhou han answered one by one and said, ” no, I don’t have any siblings. I’m the only son in my family. As for my father, he’s just an ordinary civil servant. My mother is Yingluo.” Before Zhou han could finish his sentence, Lin Li, who was sitting beside him, suddenly started coughing violently.

“Ahem ... Ahem ...”

She didn’t know if she was choked by Zhou Han’s answer or accidentally drank the tea, but she coughed badly and her face was red.

Seeing this, Zhou han quickly reached out and patted Lin Li’s back. He frowned slightly and looked at her with some disapproval. He said softly, ” “How could you be so careless?” As he spoke, he reached out to open the tissue on the table and handed one to Lin Li.

It took Lin Li a while to stop coughing. She took a tissue and wiped her mouth. In addition, because she had coughed too hard just now, her entire throat was extremely dry. He quickly grabbed the water on the table and took a big gulp.

Seeing this, Zhou han shook his head gently. Looking at Lin Li’s eyes that were filled with helplessness and pampering, he said, ” “Drink slowly, no one’s snatching it from you.” Her tone was so gentle that water could almost drip out.

Mother Zhou watched from the side, and the smile on her lips deepened. She swallowed the words she was going to reprimand Lin Li. She thought that she could finally be at ease. Even if she wasn’t by her side, her baby still had a man who cared and loved her. She had nothing to worry about. Turning her head, she saw her husband staring at the two of them. His eyes were full of contradictions. Even though he was pleased, there was also a little reluctance. She could understand what they were feeling. Her daughter had grown up and would leave them one day.
