181 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 11 (1/2)
”Are you sure it's okay for him to meet our relatives?” Aunt Yufu seemed worried. ”Who knows what they will feed him and then you two will be separated.”
Xue Lin nodded in agreement. ”Your concern is justified but he has to meet them. After all, he is the youngest son-in-law in our family, isn't he?”
”Is this because of black magic?” Ge Chen asked. ”I've never seen things like that before. It makes me curious.”
Aunt Yufu described, ”Xiao Chen, don't say things like that. Do you know what happened to Xue Lin's elder sister, Jingfei? She was happily married to her husband but only once they came here and I'm not even sure if they ate anything but after going back, they began to have problems and her polite husband suddenly began to act differently.
”At first, we didn't take it that seriously but things got so wrong that they were kicked out of their house by her in-laws and they ended up in Yinchuan. He lost his job and couldn't get any job anywhere but Jingfei worked and took care of them both. She didn't have a decent job at that time. Her salary was so poor. When she couldn't take it anymore, she asked for a divorce.”
Aunt Yufu sighed. ”I was really shocked when I heard those two getting a divorce. They were a match made in heaven.”
Ge Chen was amazed by the story. However, he didn't believe that it had anything to do with black magic.
Every marriage life has its ups and down. It tests a couple if they are really in love with each other and if they want to fight it together. If they can, they win; and if they can't, they lose.
Xue Lin's elder sister Fa Jingfei couldn't compete against the odds along with her husband. It couldn't be someone else's fault.
Ge Chen commented, ”If it's about money I don't think we have to care about it.”
”Maybe you don't but if for some reason get tired of you, I might ask for a divorce. Who knows?” Xue Lin shrugged.
”…” That careless remark of hers made Ge Chen shut his mouth.
Before falling asleep, Xue Lin told her husband, ”You will eat your stomach full before leaving the house. Every time someone wants to treat you to any type of food, reject them. It's better if you act like a villain. This way no one will approach you. And, if you stay by my side, I'll protect you.”
Ge Chen found it very sweet that every time she wanted to protect him when he was the one who was healthier and stronger than her.
He quietly smiled and simply nodded. ”Fine, I will lean on my wife. Protect me as much as you want.”
The next day, after finishing their breakfast, they went out and roamed around the city.
It was a good day to travel. It wasn't crowded. There was fresh air and scents of mixed flowers melted with the wind. Flowers were blooming everywhere. People were preparing for the new year.
Xue Lin gazed at him and commented, ”You are certainly excited to meet them more than I do.”
”There would be at least someone you get along with,” Ge Chen threw a remark. He was curious to know her relatives.
He didn't believe that Xue Lin didn't get along with her cousins. She could be on bad terms with strangers but not with her relatives.
