The Crazy Son-In-Law

Thinking of this, Yao Cen slowly opened her eyes and turned her head to see a dark silhouette of the back of a head.

This guy was really like a block of wood, lying in bed for so many days. I just told him not to move around, and he really didn’t.

However, this guy also had some dishonest moments. Occasionally, in the morning when she was still asleep, he would secretly give her a gentle kiss on her forehead. She could feel it.

It was limited to her forehead only.

This bastard, will he get poisoned touching me?!Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She reached out and gently poked Xiao Shun’s spine. As if electrocuted, Xiao Shun shrank his body and turned his head to look at her.

“What’s wrong?”

Yao Cen’s face flushed slightly, and she asked a cliché question that all women would ask: “Do you love me?”

Xiao Shun was slightly taken aback, then turned to her, his eyes full of tenderness, and said, “Of course, didn’t I already give you the check?”

It sounded strange somehow.

“You made so much money today. Here’s a reward.”

She didn’t care; if she didn’t give this wooden guy a hint, he might only kiss her forehead until he died.

Yao Cen closed her eyes, pursed her red lips, and looked expectant.

If you dare to kiss my forehead again, I’ll kick you out of bed tonight!

Then a wet kiss brushed across her forehead…

She opened her eyes, and Xiao Shun was propping himself up on his elbow, his face satisfied and his eyes filled with tenderness, staring at her.

Is that all?

Bastard, is that all you’ve got? What’s there to be happy about!

Yao Cen’s beautiful eyes looked at him resentfully, and she leaned forward, her small mouth pressing against Xiao Shun’s lips.

Tasting the sweetness in Yao Cen’s mouth, Xiao Shun’s body tensed up like he was electrocuted. His heart jumped to his throat, his mind went blank for a moment, and he felt as if he was floating in mid-air, unreal and breathless. His hand gradually slid to where it shouldn’t go.

But Yao Cen suddenly opened her eyes.

She couldn’t let this blockhead have it so cheaply.

What you can’t get is always the most precious.

Xiao Shun, still unsatisfied, tried to approach her again, but Yao Cen pushed him away and pouted, “I’m tired.”

“It’s okay, I’ll give you a day off tomorrow.”

Yao Cen’s eyes shifted as she adjusted her nightgown, “It’s not convenient today.”

Xiao Shun licked his lips, not pressing further. He understood medicine and knew what she meant.

…

Meanwhile, Mo Yibai arrived in Harrow and found a hotel to settle in temporarily.

Harrow, the capital city of Oakland Province, was located in the central region. Although not as developed as coastal cities, it was full of vitality. Compared to the conservative and dull city of Stillwater, Harrow seemed to be bursting with life.

A new city, a new life. After a night’s rest at the hotel, she took a taxi straight to Love Media’s headquarters.

Since Mr. Xiao wanted her to find He Guangji, she wouldn’t be too proud.

Mo Yibai never minded stepping on the shoulders of giants to climb higher, especially now that she was stepping on the shoulders of the man she liked and admired.

She enjoyed the feeling, even if it meant having the slightest connection with that man.

“Miss Mo, please have a seat.”

In the spacious and bright chairman’s office, He Guangji was much warmer than when he first met her.

He had taken all the pellets Xiao Shun had given him, and his body felt like it was back in his college days, full of energy and a hundred times better mentally.

Being close to someone like Xiao Shun was his great fortune.

So he didn’t dare to neglect anything Xiao Shun asked of him, especially since it involved a beautiful woman. According to a man’s habitual thinking, he could guess the general idea without much thought.

After Mo Yibai elegantly sat down, He Guangji handed her a file bag and got straight to the point: “You will be the spokesperson for Starline’s products. This is the endorsement contract. Please take a look, Miss Mo.”

“Endorsement?” Mo Yibai was momentarily confused, as Xiao Shun had not mentioned this to her.

“Yes, Miss Mo should know that Starline is Mr. Xiao’s company. It seems that Mr. Xiao values you a lot. Seize the opportunity; this might be a good chance.”

He Guangji had investigated Mo Yibai and knew that she had always wanted to step onto a larger stage.

“An endorsement fee of ten million?” Mo Yibai looked at the numbers on the contract with surprise. This amount could hire a top-tier celebrity. No wonder she was astonished.

“Yes.”

“Tell Mr. Xiao that I don’t need an endorsement fee,” Mo Yibai contemplated before replying. She didn’t mind standing on the shoulders of giants to climb higher, but accepting charity was another matter. She had already embarrassed herself countless times in front of Xiao Shun, and she didn’t want him to look down on her anymore.

“Okay, I’ll tell Mr. Xiao,” He Guangji nodded and smiled.

Mo Yibai quickly scanned the contract and signed her name without hesitation.

“What’s the plan for future work?”

“No rush, take a look at this first.” He Guangji handed her another contract. “As far as I know, Miss Mo’s contract with her previous company has been terminated. I wonder if you’re interested in becoming a signed artist with Love Media?”

“Really?” Mo Yibai’s eyes brightened.

She naturally desired to sign with Love Media. It was one of the top three media companies in the country, leading in film, records, and talent management. But she knew that given her age and lack of fame, Love Media was offering her this contract because of Xiao Shun’s influence, which put more pressure on her.

He Guangji smiled gently, “Of course.”

A contract was a small price to pay. Whether she could make a name for herself was up to Mo Yibai. If she became famous, it would be beneficial for both parties. If not, at least he had done his best.

A few days later…

At the sunny corner of the Eighth Avenue courtyard, Xiao Shun sat in a chair carefully polishing a jade pendant in his hand. It could also be called a stone pendant, made of spirit wood, the texture of which was not much different from jade, just slightly softer. He had used a whole piece of spirit wood for this small item. As heartache as it was, it was necessary for Yao Cen’s safety.

Winter this year had not brought much snow, and it wasn’t too cold, today was another sunny day.

After performing a set of Meteor Fist and practicing Ripple Steps for a while, Song Linger was drenched in sweat.

She walked feebly to the chair next to Xiao Shun, collapsed on it, sighed for a moment, then turned her head to see the small jade pendant in Xiao Shun’s hand. She curiously peered over at it.

The face on the pendant didn’t look like the Buddha or Maitreya, but it seemed familiar.

Leaning closer, she realized that the face engraved on the jade pendant was none other than her master’s own…
