181 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 11

"Are you sure it's okay for him to meet our relatives?" Aunt Yufu seemed worried. "Who knows what they will feed him and then you two will be separated."

Xue Lin nodded in agreement. "Your concern is justified but he has to meet them. After all, he is the youngest son-in-law in our family, isn't he?"

"Is this because of black magic?" Ge Chen asked. "I've never seen things like that before. It makes me curious."

Aunt Yufu described, "Xiao Chen, don't say things like that. Do you know what happened to Xue Lin's elder sister, Jingfei? She was happily married to her husband but only once they came here and I'm not even sure if they ate anything but after going back, they began to have problems and her polite husband suddenly began to act differently.

"At first, we didn't take it that seriously but things got so wrong that they were kicked out of their house by her in-laws and they ended up in Yinchuan. He lost his job and couldn't get any job anywhere but Jingfei worked and took care of them both. She didn't have a decent job at that time. Her salary was so poor. When she couldn't take it anymore, she asked for a divorce."

Aunt Yufu sighed. "I was really shocked when I heard those two getting a divorce. They were a match made in heaven."

Ge Chen was amazed by the story. However, he didn't believe that it had anything to do with black magic.

Every marriage life has its ups and down. It tests a couple if they are really in love with each other and if they want to fight it together. If they can, they win; and if they can't, they lose.

Xue Lin's elder sister Fa Jingfei couldn't compete against the odds along with her husband. It couldn't be someone else's fault.

Ge Chen commented, "If it's about money I don't think we have to care about it."

"Maybe you don't but if for some reason get tired of you, I might ask for a divorce. Who knows?" Xue Lin shrugged.

"…" That careless remark of hers made Ge Chen shut his mouth.

Before falling asleep, Xue Lin told her husband, "You will eat your stomach full before leaving the house. Every time someone wants to treat you to any type of food, reject them. It's better if you act like a villain. This way no one will approach you. And, if you stay by my side, I'll protect you."

Ge Chen found it very sweet that every time she wanted to protect him when he was the one who was healthier and stronger than her.

He quietly smiled and simply nodded. "Fine, I will lean on my wife. Protect me as much as you want."

The next day, after finishing their breakfast, they went out and roamed around the city.

It was a good day to travel. It wasn't crowded. There was fresh air and scents of mixed flowers melted with the wind. Flowers were blooming everywhere. People were preparing for the new year.

Xue Lin gazed at him and commented, "You are certainly excited to meet them more than I do."

"There would be at least someone you get along with," Ge Chen threw a remark. He was curious to know her relatives.

He didn't believe that Xue Lin didn't get along with her cousins. She could be on bad terms with strangers but not with her relatives.

Xue Lin collected her thoughts and said, "Do you want me to tell you the truth? Actually-"

"…Lin?"

Someone called out.

Ge Chen's eyebrows twitched as he heard a male voice calling his wife's name so intimately.

This guy could be anyone.

It could be a childhood friend, a childhood sweetheart, a former boyfriend, or someone very close enough to call her more intimately than her parents and other relatives.

They turned around and saw a man around Ge Chen's age. His pale face was covered with long curly hair and a long beard. Only his black eyes could be seen behind the black bushes of hair.

Xue Lin took a glance and quickly averted her gaze. She didn't say any 'hi' or 'hello'. She directly asked, "Should I bring a sharp dagger? I would love to shave your face and head. I'm sure razor won't work at this point."

Ge Chen knew that his wife had no filter but for a person who didn't care what others did suddenly commented about someone's face, they were bound to be close.

The man smiled brightly upon hearing her comment. It was almost like he knew that she was going to say that. His white pearl like teeth glittered in the sunlight.

He walked closer and asked her back, "Why didn't you call me after coming back? When did you arrive here?"

"Your cousin and auntie broke my phone so I couldn't," Xue Lin bluntly answered.

Yet, she avoided looking at him while speaking. She felt like her eyes would come out if she looked at him.

That person sighed and stated, "They… are really doing their all to take you down. Why did you come back? You shouldn't have!"

He sounded a bit controlling. It made Ge Chen frown slightly.

Xue Lin also noticed it and she was irked by it. She warned him, "Hey, watch your tone. Have you forgotten how to talk?"

He lowered his head. "No… I'm sorry but I couldn't help it. I heard that you were forced to get married. Is that him?" he looked at Ge Chen with observant eyes.

'Do I see animosity in his eyes?' Ge Chen's grey eyes flickered in amusement.

Xue Lin shrugged. "Somewhat, yeah, but you know me. I didn't get married to the person they fixed for me. I chose my own man and married him."

She pulled Ge Chen beside her and said, "Let me introduce you. He is Ge Chen, my husband. We met each other in Paris."
