Chapter 504: Chapter 242: "Come Home With Me to Meet the Parents
’Go home?’
Qin Yuenan froze. After blinking her beautiful eyes several times, she finally understood what Lin Shen meant.
’When he says go home, he must mean his hometown, right?’
’Could it be... Lin Shen wants me to meet his parents?’
!!!
In an instant, Qin Yuenan’s heart suddenly raced. Her mind went blank with a BUZZ, and a warmth gathered in her chest, refusing to dissipate.
She was still a little angry and resentful about what a scumbag Lin Shen was when it came to relationships. She had originally planned to use this opportunity to have a good talk with him and tell him to stop messing around with other women.
But halfway through getting worked up, upon hearing that Lin Shen wanted to take her home, all of Qin Yuenan’s anger immediately vanished. In its place, she became exceptionally nervous.
’What should I do?’
’Do I need to bring a gift?’
’What should I say when I get there?’
’How should I act?’
’If I meet Lin Shen’s siblings or grandparents, should I give them red envelopes?’
All sorts of questions suddenly flooded Qin Yuenan’s mind. The woman who was always so decisive and efficient was now completely flustered and at a loss.
"Um... you mean this National Day? The one on October 1st, in a few days?"
"Yeah!"
It was the first time Lin Shen had ever seen Qin Yuenan with such a suddenly dazed little expression, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
"It’s not like I meant *next* year’s National Day, is it? We’d be waiting forever for that!"
"But... isn’t this a little too fast..."
The moment the words left her mouth, Qin Yuenan really wanted to slap herself.
’I’m usually so articulate. How could my tongue slip at a time like this!’
The truth was, Qin Yuenan really wanted to meet Lin Shen’s parents. Desperately!
Because she knew exactly what it meant for a man to take a woman to meet his parents.
’It means he has completely accepted me!’
’It even means he’s planning to take our relationship to the next step!’
This filled Qin Yuenan’s heart with endless happiness and sweetness, but at the same time, the uncertainty of meeting Lin Shen’s parents also made her incredibly nervous and anxious.
’What if I say the wrong thing, or do something wrong, and his parents don’t like me?’
This was the real reason Qin Yuenan had said, "isn’t this a little too fast."
She just wasn’t mentally prepared at all!
’Meeting his parents all of a sudden... It’s just too sudden!’
Perhaps sensing the worry in Qin Yuenan’s heart, Lin Shen smiled and pulled her tighter as she sat on his lap, kissing her cheek to comfort her.
"You think this is fast? Haven’t you been looking forward to this?"
"But..."
As soon as the topic came up, the usually clear-headed and calm Qin Yuenan became like a flustered little girl, her panicked eyes darting about.
"You know I can be a bit awkward. I don’t know how I should act around your parents. What if they end up hating me..."
"Don’t worry."
Lin Shen said teasingly.
"Nan, with a face like yours, my parents will probably be overjoyed."
Huh?
Qin Yuenan subconsciously touched her face, not quite understanding what Lin Shen meant.
’Logically speaking, doesn’t the older generation always prefer a daughter-in-law who’s virtuous, gentle, frugal, and good at housekeeping?’
’I’m nothing like that kind of woman!’
Of course, despite that, there was still a saying.
Looks are everything!
Qin Yuenan’s noble, cool, and stunningly beautiful face was exactly the kind many parents dreamed of for a daughter-in-law.
After all, what parent wouldn’t want their son’s wife to be a beautiful woman?
Of course, because they might feel she’s out of their league, most people would probably hope for an ordinary person of equal social standing.
But Lin Shen was anything but ordinary!
He and Qin Yuenan were a perfect match—a talented man and a beautiful woman, a pair made in heaven.
Besides, now that Lin Shen had made it big with his "system," most people wouldn’t say much upon seeing him bring Qin Yuenan home.
And that was exactly the effect he was going for!
You had to understand, when a man was out in the world, his woman was his greatest status symbol, his source of confidence, and his biggest bragging right.
And Qin Yuenan happened to meet all these requirements and conditions perfectly.
Whether it was her looks or her figure, she was absolutely one in a million!
Of course, her personality might be a little unsuited for marriage, but with Qin Yuenan’s super high EQ, getting along with people probably wouldn’t be an issue.
"Will it really be okay?"
Even though Lin Shen had explained, Qin Yuenan was still worried.
"If your parents don’t like me..."
"Impossible!"
Lin Shen said decisively.
"There’s no way my parents won’t like you."
"But..."
"No buts."
Seeing that Qin Yuenan was still conflicted and hesitant, Lin Shen had no choice but to play his trump card.
He sighed lightly and said in a relaxed tone.
"Nan, you know how it is. Going home for the National Day holiday usually means getting pressured about marriage. Ever since my parents found out I broke up with my ex, they’ve been wanting me to bring a girl home, especially since this year’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are back-to-back."
"Since you’re so unwilling, I guess I’ll just have to bring someone else."
"You dare?!"
The moment she heard Lin Shen was going to take another girl home, Qin Yuenan panicked, grabbing his ear and snapping coldly.
"Lin Shen! If you dare take any other girl home before me, I’ll..."
"You’ll what?"
"The next time you ask me to do something naughty with you, I’ll bite it right off!"
Her pretty face slightly flushed, Qin Yuenan uttered the words most feared by men in an embarrassed yet angry tone.
Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat in fright, but he still cleared his throat a few times and said helplessly.
"But you don’t want to go home with me!"
"Who said I don’t want to?"
Qin Yuenan finally managed to act tough in front of Lin Shen for a moment before her bravado deflated again, and she mumbled under her breath.
