Noticing the undisguisable weariness in her eyes, Madam Lin sighed and said, “If you’re tired, go and rest. I’ll call you again at lunchtime.”
Since her mother had seen through everything, Lin Qingyuan decided to stop being discreet and said frankly, “Then I’ll be going back to my room now.”
“Go ahead.” Madam Lin nodded.
Lin Qingyuan managed to enjoy a restful sleep that morning as she did not have to worry about Long Xuan barging in and harassing her. After lunch, she spent time with Madam Lin in the garden and played with her brother. Before she knew it, the day was over.
However, at dinnertime, a servant came to inform her, “General Long is here to bring you home, Miss.”
Minister Lin glanced at Lin Qingyuan, then ordered the servant, “Bring him in at once.”
Long Xuan was already outside the doors. Hearing what his father-in-law said, he stepped into the room. “Please forgive me for visiting so suddenly, Father-in-Law.”
“There’s nothing to forgive! You’re just in time—we were getting ready for dinner. Come, sit down and have a few drinks with me.” Minister Lin cheerfully beckoned him to sit.

Lin Qingyuan hurriedly lowered her eyes uneasily, but in her heart, she cursed him, ‘Why is this b*stard here? Can he just leave me alone?’
The servants started serving the dishes one by one.
Smiling, Madam Lin gestured to Long Xuan. “Help yourself while the food’s warm.”
“Of course.” Long Xuan smiled back at her.
Madam Lin was also wondering why her son-in-law had shown up so suddenly. However, his proper and calm comportment pleased her greatly, and she could not help her smile from growing wider as she urged him to eat more.
Minister Lin even poured a cup of wine for Long Xuan. “I heard that you’re an amazing drinker. We’ve never drunk wine together before, so we should enjoy ourselves today.”
“I can drink, but I’m not as great of a drinker as they say,” Long Xuan replied humbly.
Feeling left out, Lin Qingyuan ate her bowl of food silently beside them.
Did her parents have to give Long Xuan such a warm reception?
Ever since this fellow showed up, they had completely forgotten about her.
Was she even their biological daughter?
Seething with indignation, she lifted her gaze and scowled at the man opposite her.
Long Xuan was currently removing the bones of the fish on his plate with his chopsticks.
His eyes were slightly downcast and his expression was serious and focused as his slender, well-defined fingers wielded the chopsticks.
He was wearing a moon-white robe which made him appear refined and immaculate, and there was a sort of tranquility on his face.
Lin Qingyuan pursed her lips. He was a great actor, but she knew that he was just a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
She picked at the rice in her bowl and ate a small chunk listlessly.
Just then, a pair of chopsticks appeared before her eyes and placed a piece of fish in her bowl.
“I remember your favorite food is fish. This dish is pretty good—you should eat more of it.” Then came the man’s gentle voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Qingyuan stared in bewilderment at the man, who was smiling at her.
How did he know she liked fish?
However, she was certain that there was some sort of malicious intention hidden behind his thoughtfulness.
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw her parents’ eyes light up with satisfaction.
Regaining her composure, she pulled a face. That jerk was really good at putting on a show, and she desperately longed to rip off his mask.
Minister Lin beamed. “Yunyou, just ignore her and eat. She can take food for herself with her own hands.”
He could finally be at ease. All he wanted was for his son-in-law to treat his daughter well.
Yunyou was Long Xuan’s personal name.
Madam Lin was extremely satisfied, too. The more she observed her son-in-law, the more pleased she was with him.
She added, “Yes, just ignore her and eat. The food won’t taste as good once it gets cold.” Then, she picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and served Long Xuan a piece of meat.
“Thank you, Mother-in-Law,” Long Xuan said courteously.
