Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Mother-in-lawâs Delight
Chen Cang sighed. He originally thought that when Qin Yue said, âMom wants to meet him,â she was just kidding!
He didnât expect this moment to come so quickly!
It seemsâ¦he shouldnât joke around in the future, just in case it comes true, right?
At this thought, Chen Cang felt embarrassed, nervous, and somewhat at a loss.
Should he go over there? He didnât know what to say!
But it was obvious that not going over would be inappropriate!
After allâ¦this was Chen Cangâs first time meeting Old Qin as Qin Yueâs boyfriend. Thinking about it, he felt a littleâ¦excited!
Chen Cang looked up and met Qin Yueâs teasing gaze, gaining a burst of courage inside!
Why be a coward!
Go for it!
Chen Cang smiled, stood up, and walked forward.
âDean Qin, hello!â
âAuntie, hello.â
Chen Cang greeted them with a smile.
This was the first time Ji Ruyun had seen Chen Cang up close. In the past, they had only seen each other across a windowsill. Although she could get a rough idea from that distance, she had never observed Chen Cang so closely.
Her first impression really was quite good: tall and well-built, neat and tidy, giving off an aura of reliability.
Ji Ruyun smiled, âLittle Chen, right? I often hear Yueyue talking about you. Iâve even said that you should come over to our place sometime!â
Chen Cang smiled, âAbsolutely, Iâll definitely come and visit. Iâve also heard Qin Yue talk a lot about Auntie, calling you âindirect salvationâ and saying you were very beautiful when you were young. Now that I see you today, you still have great poise.â
A bit of flattery made Ji Ruyun quite pleased, âCome over to our place sometime, and Iâll make something delicious for you.â
Then, Ji Ruyun laughed, âLittle Chen, youâre really lucky!â
âJust like that, your burdens are lifted! The house is furnished and everything. By the way, how big is the house you bought?â
Chen Cang glanced at Qin Yue, âLast time, Qin Yue and I came to see a set of about 120 square meters, but at that time the owner didnât plan to sell. A couple of days ago, they suddenly called me, saying they were ready to sell, so I hurried over today to take a look.â
Chen Cang concealed the details of his discussion with Zheng Guotan.
âQin Yue really liked it, so I thought Iâd make the down payment as a surprise for her. But after I got here, I saw there was a promotion and entered the raffle, never expecting to win the grand prize. I really didnât expect it â not only did I not have to pay, but I also made a good sum of money!â
âAnd I didnât expect to bump into you all here.â
With that, everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang, somewhat envious, âYou lucky kid, you just saved yourself the struggle of twenty years!â
Chen Cang said, âLetâs go and have a look, shall we? The house is ready to move in.â
Qin Yue nodded excitedly, âYes, mom and dad, let me show you. I fell in love with this house at first sight.â
Qin Yue and Chen Cang were not young anymore, so Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun both had the thought of them settling down early.
Although they hadnât been dating for long, they had known each other for over three years.
Over these three years, feelings had developed between them, possibly love had grown over time â itâs just that neither had spoken of it.
So now, after confirming their relationship, what they thought about most might be marriage and having children.
Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun were of the same mind, hoping to settle their childâs lifelong matter sooner to put their own minds at ease.
Even though this was only the first meeting, Ji Ruyun had a very good impression of Chen Cang, but she still felt that they needed more time to get to know each other.
However, no matter what, the marriage was ultimately up to the children; as long as they were willing, that was enough.
As parents, they were anxious, but what they desired most was for their children to have a good place to call home.
It wasnât that Qin Yue needed to find someone extremely rich or capable, merely someone who was good to her, dependable, and reliable.
Seeing Qin Yue and Chen Cang happily together, Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan were satisfied.
After entering the room, they were pleased to see that both the layout and the orientation were very good.
After a brief tour, they watched Qin Yue and Chen Cang walk around the empty house, repeatedly imagining the future arrangement of the rooms. Qin Yue even began to take on the air of a homeowner, actively directing how her home would be arranged.
The two parents suddenly felt that this was quite nice.
â¦
â¦
At noon, Qin Xiaoyuan treated everyone to a simple meal.
In fact, Qin Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with Chen Cang himself; it was just thatâ¦as a hospital dean, he had to maintain a certain demeanor, yet at that moment, he was no different from an ordinary person.
There was laughter and conversation as they helped themselves to food and ate together.
It was evident that the family of three was very warm and harmonious.
Chen Cang and Qin Yue sat on one side, while Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan sat on the other.
After they had finished eating, Ji Ruyun couldnât help but laugh as she looked at Qin Yue and Chen Cang, âOh my, before you know it, weâre old, and the kids are all grown up!â
Pouting, Qin Yue said with a smile, âMom, you donât look old at all!â
Ji Ruyun grinned, âNot old? My face is full of wrinkles, all thanks to your dad and you stressing me out!â
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue couldnât help but console her, âMom, who doesnât have a few wrinkles! Letâs go get them treated someday.â
Speaking of this, Qin Yue suddenly slapped Chen Cang on the shoulder, âArenât you frequently visiting the plastic surgery hospital now? Do you know how to do that wrinkle removal technique?â
Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!
Holy crap!
He had an epiphany!
He finally understood why the system had granted him the SMAS wrinkle removal technique!
It was prepared for conquering the mother-in-law!
Chen Cang suddenly saw the light; all the time he had spent learning how to get along happily with his mother-in-law was not in vainâit had already penetrated deep into his skill repertoire within the system.
Not bad at all!
Taking advantage of his momentary hesitation, Chen Cang chose to activate the skill instantly.
[SMAS Wrinkle Removal Technique: Master Level, proceed to intense training?]
Yes!
Chen Cang blinked and found himself in the training spaceâ¦
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Ji Ruyunâs face had transformed!
For the first time, Chen Cang discovered that when the âWrinkle Removal Techniqueâ was combined with the âEye of Beautyâ, such a significant change could occur!
Thrilled by the thought, Chen Cang felt excited!
Half a minute later, Chen Cang roughly had an idea.
Qin Yue, seeing Chen Cang staring at Ji Ruyunâs face for so long, couldnât help but tap him, âWhat are you daydreaming about staring at my mom? Speak up, will you?â
Even Qin Xiaoyuan couldnât help but shiver internally, what is this rascal up to!
Ji Ruyun, having been observed by Chen Cang for so long, was quite calm. She could tell that the look in Chen Cangâs eyes was one of scrutiny and contemplation, very professional and peaceful, like a doctor examining a patient.
She turned to glance at Qin Xiaoyuan and couldnât help but roll her eyes at him.
Only then did Chen Cang slowly say, âAuntie, actually, the wrinkles on your face are completely removable, and combined with hyaluronic acid, itâs possible to properly plump up the skin, leading to a significant change!â
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Ruyunâs eyes lit up, âReally? Chen? Can my wrinkles be removed?â
Chen Cang nodded, âYes, absolutely, and without any traces, very natural!â
Chen Cang looked at the skill at that moment:
[SMAS Wrinkle Removal Technique: Master Level; Special Effects: 1. No scarring; 2. Natural.]
Both special effects were quite powerful; they seemed ordinary but were in fact the most practical.
The target demographic for wrinkle removal procedures is usually people around forty to fifty years old or even older, an age group that doesnât like to have significant alterations on their faces. Their only wish is to eliminate wrinkles, preferably in a way that others canât tell, and after the surgery, they want it to look natural and not obviously post-surgical.
Therefore, Chen Cangâs special effects hit the spot just right!
As soon as Ji Ruyun heard this, she was tempted, âChen, can you perform this surgery?â
Chen Cang nodded, âYes, Iâm quite good at it.â
Upon hearing these words, Ji Ruyun was extremely pleased inside!
Her gaze at Chen Cang was filled with satisfaction as well.
