Ge Chuan Liâs face turned blue to white. He was never humiliated like that before. Bai Yueâs face turned red. She was insulted in front of so many people she knew. She wanted to chew off Xue Linâs head.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ge Chen thought it was enough for now. He calmly said, "It looks like you have nothing important to say. Please leave. We are busy."
Ge Chuan Li took a deep breath and got inside the car. Bai Yue followed after him. After they drove off, the newlyweds saw off the guests. Soon, Xue Linâs aunties gather around Xue Lin. "Hey, Xiao Lin, was that your father-in-law? Whatâs going on? You were very harsh on them. Is it okay?"
Xue Lin explained, "That guy had an affair outside and made a street woman pregnant. As stupid as he is, he removed his good wife and son out of his path and married that street woman. Their son is the brainless guy my parents wanted me to marry. I donât care if you still contact your sister (Xue Linâs mother) but donât ever tell me to forget and forgive. I can take anything but if someone tries to harm me, I will never let it off no matter who it is."
Her uncle knocked on the back of her head. "We arenât idiots. We wonât tell you to recoil with her mother. However, be careful when you are outside alone. I donât like your father-in-law."
"Oh, donât call a worthless piece of cup my father-in-law. My dignity will be ruined." Xue Lin cared greatly about her reputation.
Her uncle agreed, "Fine, fine. We will be here for a week. Contact us when you are free."
"I will." Xue Lin has to invite them to their new house. Though she hardly cares about tradition, she wants to do this because of her marriage with Ge Chen. If she doesnât invite them over, Ge Chenâs reputation will be affected.
After seeing them off, Xue Lin asked Ge Chen tiredly, "Are we going to rest or we have to go to another party?"
Ge Chen answered, "The evening party was arranged by Ming Yu and Louis. We will celebrate it in B City."
"We are going to B City! Now?" Xue Lin thought that she was going to die. It was almost four and she didnât have enough rest. They have another party and she doesnât have the energy for it. And now that she heard that they have to take a journey to B City, her last drop of energy drained as well.
Ge Chen smiled. "I want to show you around our home as soon as possible."
Xue Lin tried not to explode. She took deep breaths to cool down. A moment later, she said, "Iâll forgive you today because of my benevolent heart. Donât think that Iâll always be as generous as today."
"Iâm very grateful for your generosity, my queen. Shall we go then?" Ge Chen held out his hand. His eyes were glittering.
"Alright." Xue Lin replied tiredly and took his hand. She thought that they were going by Ge Chenâs car. She didnât expect a private plane at a private airport.
"..." Xue Lin gaped. She pulled her husbandâs arm and said, "Donât tell me you guys own it."
Ge Chen smiled and praised her, "My wife is so intelligent. She understood before I told her."
Xue Lin found it hard to breathe. "Even millionaires donât have private airplanes. Just how rich is your maternal family? Itâs scary to imagine." She shivered.
"Then donât imagine, donât think about it." Ge Chen squeezed her soft hand. He couldnât tell her that it was his personal airport, not the Su Familyâs. He wished he could tell her as soon as possible, but he was too scared to do it now. With her temper, she can ask for divorce right away.
By the time they reached B City, Xue Lin fell asleep. The seat was so comfortable that she couldnât help it. Seeing her sleep like there was no tomorrow, Ge Chen rubbed her soft cheeks.
"Hmm..." Xue Lin moved slightly and knitted her eyebrows.
âShe is certainly a light sleeper. Whenever I touch her while she is sleeping, she knows it subconsciously , so she moves.â Ge Chen thought. âWhy is she so guarded all the time?â
Su Fengfei commented, "It looks like the evening party will have to go on without her."
"It cannot be helped. She woke up early today." Gu Xiali could understand.
"She is physically weak too. Too much pressure isnât good for her." Ming Yu added.
"And I ordered the chef to prepare the finest Italian cuisine for her. Alas!" Louis felt dejected. He was planning to win over Xue Linâs heart with this party. He was a ladiesâ man. Ever since Xue Lin showed disinterest in him, he decided that he would try his best to get on the friendly terms with her.
"She will be very disappointed if she wakes up tomorrow and hears that she missed a feast." Ge Chen hoped that she would wake up. She didnât have enough lunch, he noticed that. âShe must be hungry now.â He thought.
After everyone got off the plane, Ge Chen carried Xue Lin like a princess. Xue Lin seemed to notice some movement and her eyes fluttered open. She looked at the person who was carrying her. Seeing her husbandâs face, she didnât protest. She snuggled closer and slept again while thinking, âIf I cannot use my husbandâs warmth at a time like this, whatâs the use of a husband.â
