Chapter 412 In-Laws’ Meeting (3)

"You..."

Great-grandma Liu huffed heavier with her chest expanding forward as she faced the trio of Ai and her parents.

"Nuo, take me inside right now...I don't want to see anybody's faces here!" Her face was red and shaking with extreme fury. "All these people are trying to kill me with anger! And nobody is saying anything against them!"

She glared at Jinhai, Nana and Chunhua as she blamed them for being silent.

Jinhai said nothing while Nana tried to appease her but ultimately failed.

Nuo coughed and appeared behind her wheelchair. "I will take you back...It's not good for you to get so overwhelmed like this."

"Tell these people, not me!"

"Yes, yes, I will scold them a lot. You need to rest. I will give you a nice head massage."

Ugh, it was my fault in insisting on bringing her outside...she mumbled to herself.

Yukira scratched his chin. "She reminds me of the days when she didn't used to like Nee-chan so much."

Yukito chuckled. "I know. She was so against Nee-chan and Bro Jinhai."

Liu Chunhua sighed. "Reminds me of the days when she was vehemently against me too. She never liked me for Hai but later on, she warmed up to me after much effort."

Jin asked, "Is this some kind of a tradition? Where she doesn't like the daughter-in-law first but then begins to accept her after some time?"

Jun touched his chin. "Seems like it."

Ai hopefully smiled at Jin. "Doesn't she remind me of you? Great-grandma seems to be a tsundere like you. You also hated me so much in the beginning."

Jin's expression darkened. "And who said those feelings have changed?"

"Clearly, they have. You just don't want to accept it. Like I said, you are a tsundere like Great-grandma."

Zhou Yichen said, "Aish, Jini-boy doesn't like my Ai-chan? Why not? She is so fun to have around!"

He sneered. "How about annoying?"

Jun's brow twitched.

'Visit (Mybo x novel. com) to read, pls!',

Here they go again...

"Feeling annoyed is the first step to like someone hoho~" he winked.

Jin grimaced. "What kind of logic is that?"

"It's a logic that has worked for ages. You fight, you fight some more and then you start to like the person," he chirped.

"How do you know that?"

"Haven't you read the trope of enemies to friends or enemies to lovers?" He grinned.

"..."

"This is also the love story of Nuying and me when we met each other and got married. Theeeeeen we got divorced, but that's a different story altogether~"

Xie Nuying narrowed her eyes.

He doesn't want to admit to his own mistakes.

For the first time, Jin saw someone who was talking about his divorce in front of his own ex-wife in such a casual manner.

He shrugged.

Nana coughed. "We are sorry for that. She is just still..."

Zhou Yichen waved his hand. "No biggies, Mrs. Liu. I know she will like Ai-chan at some point. I have met all kinds of stubborn people."

"Thank you for understanding. Anyway, now that the introductions are over, how about we dig in some food? We have prepared a nice lunch for you all!"

Xie Nuying smiled with appreciation. "Thank you so much. But before that, we would like you to have some presents we brought for you."

She widened her eyes. "Oh, you didn't have to do that."

"Of course not. This is the first time we are coming here as Ai's parents. How can we come empty-handed?"

Jinhai and Nana accepted their token of gifts in the end. Before lunch was served, everybody sat down and faced each other.

Xie Nuying smiled. "Jun had visited us in Xuanhua a month back. I must say he is such a good cook."

Jun choked.

'',

That's the first thing you want to say about me?

"He made a delicious apple pie for Ai and me," she beamed.

Well...that was more to prevent you from doing any baking.

"He learnt that from you, right Mrs. Liu? I have heard of Natsukashi and naturally, its reputation. I can see that not only he inherited his eyes from you but also your great cooking skills..."

Towards the end, it felt like Xie Nuying was feeling more envious rather than appreciation for Jun.

Nana sheepishly grinned. "Well, I just taught them the basic skills. They took off on their own after that."

"That is talent indeed," she smiled, "What I found the most appealing in him was his kindness. He loves Ai so much and as a mother, I don't want anything more than that. He had also confessed his prior relationship with Han Shui to us. That must have been very difficult for him. I appreciate that he had that courage. You have raised your children well, Mrs. Liu."

Jinhai smiled and spoke for the first time as his cheek rested in his palm. "True. Nana has all the credit for that."

She scolded him. "You are their father too."

He raised his brow and his eyes twinkled. "I have raised them in a different way."

Jun and Jin naturally agreed to that.

"Kindness and courage is what they got from you."

Nana felt even more embarrassed now with so much praise being showered upon her.

Xie Nuying shot a sharp stare at Zhou Yichen, her eyes clearly reflecting the complaints in them about them.

Did you see that? Mr. Liu is so loving to his wife and even appreciates all that she has done. And you on the other hand...

The disparity between him and Jinhai as husbands grew wider and wider for Xie Nuying.

Zhou Yichen's mouth twitched.

Well sure you see him praising Mrs. Liu, but you do see how Mrs. Liu is too, right? She is so warm and cheerful and she is a great cook! She is an embodiment of a perfect wife!

Their eyes spit fire as lightning crackled between them.

Nana glanced between the two. "Is everything alright?"

Xie Nuying and Zhou Yichen looked away. "Yes, everything is fine!"

It doesn't look that way to me...
