Chapter 650 - 648: Spotted by Passersby While Shopping

Xue Yuanqing heard this and smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with trust and pride in his son.

"Our son is already twenty, he's a responsible adult now."

He comforted, "Moreover, he has Lin Xi as his fiancée, who takes care of him attentively,

What else could you be worried about? Just put your heart at ease and enjoy our breakfast."

After breakfast, Xue Yang's hangover feeling had greatly subsided, and his spirits returned to their usual state of radiance.

He stood up, swiftly got out of bed to wash up,

After coming out, he said to Lin Xi:

"Lin Xi, I'm afraid I can't accompany you all today."

Xue Yang's tone carried a hint of helplessness,

"There are some urgent matters at the supermarket that need to be handled, very important."

Lin Xi heard this, nodded gently, showing understanding and support in her eyes for Xue Yang.

"Go ahead and busy yourself, I'll take care of things here."

She smiled in response,

"I'll take uncle and aunt around for a walk, letting them also enjoy this rare leisure time."

A surge of warmth filled Xue Yang's heart, gratitude evident in his expression.

"Thank you, Lin Xi."

Lin Xi shook her head gently, her smile still warm.

"It's not troublesome, it's my duty."

She changed the topic slightly with anticipation,

"By the way, Xue Yang, how about we return to Xiangshan Villa tonight to stay?"

Xue Yang was slightly startled upon hearing this, then understood Lin Xi's intention.

He knew well that his parents might feel a bit uneasy at the Lin Family Villa,

And Lin Xi's suggestion was undoubtedly a considerate and mindful gesture.

A mix of complex emotions surged in his heart, both moved and grateful.

After dressing properly, Xue Yang glanced deeply at Lin Xi,

His eyes full of gratitude and love for her.

"Alright, let's do as you say. Tonight we'll return to Xiangshan Villa."

Then the two of them went downstairs hand in hand.

Xue Yuanqing and Zhong Hailan were sitting on the sofa in the hall,

Lin Xi, smiling brightly like a flower, stepped forward quickly and greeted them warmly:

"Good morning, uncle and aunt! Xue Yang has work today, so let me accompany you around today."

Zhong Hailan heard this, hastily waved her hand, appearing a bit reserved:

"No need to bother, we're unfamiliar here, better to stay home."

But Lin Xi clearly had a thorough plan in mind,

She grabbed Zhong Hailan's arm without leaving room for refusal,

In a tone almost playful, she said:

"Oh, uncle and aunt, trust me, it won't go wrong! Let's take a walk together and see the beauty of Yancheng, much better than staying at home."

Xue Yuanqing watched his wife being "kidnapped" by Lin Xi,

Shook his head hopelessly yet indulgently, then followed them.

On the other side, Xue Yang, after a busy day, finally had a chance to catch his breath.

He picked up his phone, touched the screen with his fingertips, and dialed Lin Xi's number.

"Did you have a good walk?"

He asked with concern. On the other end of the phone, Lin Xi's voice was full of energy and laughter:

"Not yet, we're currently shopping at Lin Square, have you finished work?"

Xue Yang replied with a smile: "I've finished, I'm coming to find you now."

Lin Xi was excited upon hearing this, responded happily: "Alright, we're waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi immediately shared the good news with Zhong Hailan and Xue Yuanqing:

"Uncle and aunt, Xue Yang has finished work, he's coming to meet us."

Zhong Hailan heard this, a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes, then she suggested: "Let's find a place to sit and wait for him."

Lin Xi said: "It's dinner time now, uncle and aunt, what would you like to eat? We could go to a restaurant to wait for Xue Yang."

Zhong Hailan glanced around, said:

"Well, we're unfamiliar with this place, you decide instead."

Lin Xi suggested going to an Italian restaurant for a meal,

Where the environment is elegant and the atmosphere romantic.

Zhong Hailan, new to this upscale environment, felt a bit uneasy, but was also more intrigued by the novelty.

She sat down cautiously, while Xue Yuanqing appeared more at ease,

He sat beside his wife, gently wiped the dust from his hand, as if shedding a day's fatigue.

After waiting for about half an hour,

Xue Yang arrived in a flurry.

Upon seeing their son arrive, Zhong Hailan seemed to finally find her center.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said:

"Xiao Yang, you've finally come. Xiao Xi, this thoughtful kid, bought so many things for us, how could we accept them?"

Lin Xi heard this, her smile warm like spring sunlight, softly reassured:

"Aunt, please don't say that, these are just a little token of my thoughtfulness, they really aren't worth much."

Zhong Hailan shook her head gently, her eyes shining with gentle wisdom:

"Xiao Xi, don't try to make me, an old lady, happy. Although I don't go out often, I have an eye for things; every item is carefully selected, must have cost you considerable thought and money."

After sitting down, Xue Yang roughly understood the context.

It's obvious that Xiao Xi took his parents shopping here.

They've been frugal their whole lives, never experienced such extravagance, scared suddenly.

However, they were too embarrassed to say anything to Xiao Xi,

So when they saw him, they couldn't wait to speak.

Xue Yang's lips curled into a gentle smile, his tone warm yet firm:

"Mom, what Xiao Xi bought for you, just accept it without worry. Your son can earn money now, what she spends, I naturally have the ability to earn back. Your happiness and Dad's are my greatest motivation."

Xue Yuanqing, seeing the situation, chimed in:

"Wife, just stop refusing, Xiao Xi truly wants to make us happy, by doing this you make her feel uncomfortable."

Zhong Hailan heard this, hastily waved her hand:

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, Xiao Xi, aunt didn't mean it, don't take it to heart, it won't happen again."

Lin Xi smiled softly, sincerely said:

"Aunt, I'm the one who should apologize, it's my oversight, focused on buying things, not considering your feelings."

Zhong Hailan quickly waved her hand, full of smiles, said:

"I like everything you bought, truly."

Xue Yang took the chance to bring everyone together, jokingly said:

"Alright, alright, we're all family, don't say such alienating words. We've been shopping all day, I've also been busy all day, hungry now, let's hurry and order food."

"Indeed, aunt, see what you want to eat."

Lin Xi considerately handed the menu to Zhong Hailan.

However, the menu filled with dense English made Zhong Hailan feel a bit helpless,

She chuckled bitterly and pushed the menu back,

"Oh, I can't understand these foreign words, you young ones should decide."

At this time, a slight commotion suddenly arose within the restaurant,

Someone excitedly shouted:

"Look, isn't that the Lin Corporation's young lady?"

Everyone's attention was drawn, curious inquiries filled the air:

"Who? Where?"

Only to see a guest pointing at the distance, murmuring:

"Right over there, seems like her."
