As soon as she entered the house, Yin Lian was once again overwhelmed by the wealth of the Kang family. Needless to say, the decoration inside the house, even a commoner like her who has no appreciation ability can see that every piece of furniture is exquisite in texture and of great value. For the price of any antique vase, she might not be able to earn it for several years.
While admiring secretly in his heart, he followed Kang Xuan to the room at the back of the first floor.
"Wait, will your mother be unhappy seeing me?" She paused, grabbing Kang Xuan and asking, suddenly feeling like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her mother-in-law.
"It's our mother." He smiled and corrected, "Don't worry, she will definitely like you very much."
"But—" She didn't forget how much his father had opinions on her.
"Don't worry." He opened the door while talking, and he shouted into the door: "Mom, I brought Xiaolian to see you."
The woman lying on the bed immediately stood up halfway, and greeted them: "Okay, okay, come quickly."
Kang Xuan gave Yin Lian, who was still hesitating, an encouraging smile, and led her into the room.
"Aunt—" Her address was corrected quickly when Kang Xuan strengthened her hands, "Uh, mom..."
"Come on, let me have a look." A smile appeared on Yang Shiying's pale face.
Yin Lian walked forward obediently, and sat by the bed following her mother-in-law's instructions.
"It's so beautiful." She looked at Kang Xuan with satisfaction, "Son, you have a good eye."
"Where, mom, you're too much for the prize." Yin Lian said shyly.
"Mom is telling the truth." He sat next to his wife and grinned.
"You are very happy." Looking at her son in relief, this is the result she wanted.
"Yes." Kang Xuan replied affirmatively.
Yang Shiying nodded, turned to Yin Lian and said, "I've heard from Xiaoxuan that his father's request is really too much, I really wronged you."
"No, anyway, marriage is just a piece of paper and a formality. It's important that he treats me sincerely." Yin Lian quickly replied.
"Well, she is indeed a sensible and reasonable daughter-in-law." She became more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law, "Son, you have to treat her well."
"I know, I will listen to her everything." Kang Xuan winked at his wife.
Yin Lian glared at him angrily, smiled awkwardly, blushed so much that she didn't dare to lift her head.
"This is a good husband. Don't let her be like a mother..." Thinking about her marriage, Yang Shiying's face darkened instantly.
Unable to bear the heavy atmosphere, Yin Lian hurriedly raised her voice: "Mom, I will definitely be filial to you in the future and make you laugh every day."
"Hehehe, ok, ok, this daughter-in-law is really good." Joy reappeared on the originally gloomy look.
Seeing his mother's gratified expression, Kang Xuan smiled gratefully at Yin Lian.
She is really his patron saint, and she will always help him when he has problems.
"Son, take Xiaolian to rest first." Yang Shiying said kindly.
"Well, Mom, then you should rest first." He replied softly.
Nodding her head, she said solemnly to Yin Lian: "From now on, Xiao Xuan will trouble you to take care of her. Thank you for your hard work."
She shook her head quickly, "No, it's not hard at all."
Yang Shiying pulled his lips into a smile, closed his eyes tiredly, and didn't speak any more.
"Let's go." Kang Xuan led Yin Lian out of the room and led her to the bedroom on the second floor. "This is our room." He opened the door and introduced.
As soon as she entered the room, she breathed his familiar scent.
It turns out that his room looks like this. It doesn't have the clutter of an ordinary man's room, but is neat and clean, with almost no unnecessary clutter.
There are a few original documents on the bedside, which shows that he is a man who likes to read before going to bed. There are writing brushes and inkstones on the desk beside him. This is a bit inconsistent with his fashionable appearance, but it may also show why he There is a reason for good self-cultivation.
A little out of tune with the furnishings in the house is a brand new dressing table. The exquisite carvings make the whole table look elegant and luxurious, and it is not cheap at first glance.
Yin Lian raised her eyebrows and looked at Kang Xuan.
"I'm wronging you to be patient for a while. I don't have time to prepare a lot of things, and I don't know your preferences. Let's add more later, shall we?" He said apologetically.
"I didn't mean this." Her gaze shifted to the big bed beside her. It can be seen that the sheets are newly changed, and there is a fresh smell, but...
"What does that mean?" Kang Xuan asked pretending to be innocent, but he had already understood the meaning of her words.
With blushing cheeks, she muttered in embarrassment, "There is only one bed here."
"Yes, there is only one bed." He nodded.
"I don't want you to prove that I'm right! I want you to explain why there is only one bed?" Yin Lian asked with her face flushed.
"We are already husband and wife." Kang Xuan looked into her eyes, as if saying that it was strange that she had doubts.
"But we are a fake couple!" She always thought so.
"We have registered our marriage, we are real husband and wife." He continued to play dumb.
"But that's just in name, we...how can we share the same bed?" Just imagining it made her die of shame.
"I shared the same bed with you last time, didn't I?" Kang Xuanyang smiled narrowly, "I don't mind being your pillow again."
Yin Lian's cheeks flushed immediately, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Uh, that...that's a last resort." It's strange, why sometimes his smile looks so wicked? It doesn't fit with the honest and gentle image in her memory. He insisted on marrying her before, and it didn't fit with the strength of kissing her. It seems weird...
"It's a last resort now." He returned to his harmless appearance and explained apologetically, "If Dad finds out that we are a couple in name only, then he will definitely not admit to this marriage and force me to marry An Qianlin again."
"This—" This perfect reason made it impossible for her to refute.
"Please help me again." Kang Xuan begged in a low voice.
"I—" Yin Lian bit her lower lip. She couldn't bear him—no, it should be said that she couldn't bear him begging her like this poor puppy. "Okay, but I have one condition."
"Say." He resisted the desire to raise the corners of his lips, and said sincerely.
"There needs to be a pillow between us." Otherwise, she was afraid that she would treat him as a pillow again, and then she would be embarrassing.
Kang Xuan raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Yin Lian spoke again.
"A real pillow." She added with a blushing face.
"Okay, no problem, you can say whatever you want." He promised.
"Then... let's do it like this." She murmured embarrassingly.
Thinking of having to sleep with him every night in the future, her heart couldn't help beating wildly, hoping that she wouldn't do something too out of character.
Kang Xuan and Yin Lian got married in a low-key way, which caused an uproar in the company, and everyone talked about it. Some people suspected that she started with the ball, and some people lamented that the marriage of the "fake prince" was really hasty. In short, this "sloppy" marriage has become a topic of discussion among many people.
"Since you are married into our Kang family, you are not allowed to work in the company anymore." Not wanting this improperly married daughter-in-law to come to the company to create new topics, Kang Dao told Yin Lian who was standing in front of her.
"But, you didn't say that at the beginning." She said in astonishment.
"Do I need to say anything else? Before you marry into a family like ours, you should have such mental preparations." He responded coldly.
"President——" Yin Lian changed his address unaccustomed after catching a glimpse of his sharp gaze, "Dad, it is an outdated idea that women should stay at home after marriage and take care of their husbands and children. Own your own business."
Faced with her rebuttal, Kang Daoze's face sank in displeasure, and he asked Kang Xuan, who had remained silent at the side, "What do you say?"
Knowing the current gossip situation in the company, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Dad said so."
"Kang Xuan?" Yin Lian frowned and looked at him dissatisfied.
"You're right." He used his eyes to signal her to be calm.
This time, Chang Kangdao frowned.
"Dad, it's really not suitable for Xiaolian to continue working in our company, but she is my important right-hand man. I think it's better to let her work at home and receive her salary." Kang Xuan suggested.
"Working at home?" Yin Lian looked at her husband in confusion.
"My itinerary and administrative chores are still arranged by you, so that I have you to help me, and you don't have to worry about me running around." He winked at her, and then said: "And Dad also achieved his goal, not letting your The daughter-in-law shows her face."
"But—" That's not what she wanted!
"That's it." Kang Dao nodded, glanced at his son with piercing eyes, and then got up and walked away.
"I don't want it. If you tell me to stay at home all day, I will suffocate to death!" Once the father-in-law left, Yin Lian protested to Kang Xuan.
"I will come back from get off work on time to accompany you." He comforted.
"I don't want you to accompany me!" Yin Lian blushed. Why do you think he seems to be playing stupid all the time?
"I'm sorry, on the one hand, there is little room for change in what Dad insists on; on the other hand, I want to say that you are at home, so you can spend more time with Mom for me, so that Mom can be happier." Kang Xuan's expression was sincere, and the family affection offensive continued. Once she was speechless.
"Okay." She sighed lightly, and could only agree.
"Thank you." His smile lit up his handsome face.
Yin Lian was dumbfounded, and had the feeling that she had fallen into some kind of trap.
