285: Chapter 285 Call her sister-in-law

"Then I'll have to trouble you with this matter."

The lawyer replied with great professionalism, "It's no trouble. You are the employer, and I am the lawyer you hired. Solving your problems is my job."

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Alright, contact me if there are any updates."

The lawyer nodded and turned to leave.

The car started moving again.

Chen Guangke, who had been holding back for a while, finally asked Shen Yan about the evening's events.

"You said you prepared a housewarming gift. What did you prepare?"

Shen Yan glanced at Chen Guangke, a teasing look on his face.

"Oh! You finally couldn't hold it in anymore?"

If he hadn't been driving, Chen Guangke would have surely kicked Shen Yan. He said to Shen Yan with a flushed face, "Isn't it just because I'm curious?"

Shen Yan nodded while speaking in a jesting tone, "If you didn't say you were curious, I would have thought you wanted to get some pointers from me in advance..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guangke finally couldn't restrain himself. He raised his right hand and gave Shen Yan a hard shove.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"If you don't tell me, I'll never help you with anything again."

Shen Yan burst out laughing.

"Alright, stop putting on an act here. The housewarming gift I prepared is quite ordinary, similar to what others bring: wine, cigarettes, tea, and jewelry."

Chen Guangke nodded thoughtfully, "Are all these things necessary?"

Shen Yan replied, "Since I'm not very familiar with the customs here, I asked Ah Hui in advance. She said preparing these things would be enough."

Chen Guangke nodded again.

Seeing how seriously he was listening, Shen Yan couldn't resist teasing him again, "So you really wanted to get some pointers from me in advance to use on your future in-laws, right?"

Chen Guangke's face turned bright red again.

"Man... Boss!"

Shen Yan's laughter echoed out of the car window.

Half an hour later, Shen Yan got out of the car at his own doorstep. He turned to ask Chen Guangke, "Do you have anything else to do later?"

Chen Guangke, sitting in the driver's seat, replied to Shen Yan while scrolling on his phone, "No. Aren't you still going to Liu Hui's place in a bit?"

"I'll wait for you right here. I'll drive you over after you come out."

Shen Yan didn't stand on ceremony and directly nodded before going in to pick up the housewarming gifts.

When he came out, Chen Guangke helped him put all the gifts into the trunk.

"Bang!"

After closing the car door, Shen Yan suddenly said to Chen Guangke with great seriousness, "Don't keep calling her Liu Hui. Call her Sister-in-Law from now on."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangke was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Yan with a half-smile, "Are you getting married already?"

Shen Yan nodded in acknowledgment, "Pretty much. We're about to meet the parents, so isn't that preparing for marriage?"

When his words fell, Chen Guangke sighed.

To be honest, he truly couldn't understand how Shen Yan had the courage to get married a second time.

If he had an experience like Shen Yan's, he would probably have a lifelong aversion to marriage.

After all, not everyone could endure having their own wife kick them when they were at their lowest.

Seeing his look of contemplation, Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and asked Chen Guangke, "What are you thinking about? Why are you getting melancholic again?"

Chen Guangke didn't want to voice the thoughts in his heart.

If he said them out loud, Shen Yan would surely call him overthinking again.

He replied to Shen Yan, "I wasn't thinking about anything, just that it's quite nice."

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing him.

"Don't lie to me. I can tell from your look that you have something on your mind. Don't tell me you're thinking about getting married?"

"If you listen to me, never mind whether it works out or not, just go for it first."

Although Shen Yan didn't name anyone, Chen Guangke still understood what he meant.

He gritted his teeth and nudged Shen Yan with his elbow, saying, "Just worry about your own affairs, don't spend all day worrying about my marriage."

"Also, remember to restrain yourself in front of Liu Hui. Don't let her..."

At this point, Chen Guangke suddenly stopped talking.

He originally meant to say, 'Don't let her realize your feelings,' but he suddenly remembered that Wu Ya already knew his feelings; she just didn't want to respond.

Thinking of this, his mood involuntarily dropped.

Seeing his sullen expression, Shen Yan didn't press the topic further. He tapped his chin and asked Chen Guangke, "What do you think I should say to coax my future in-laws when I meet them later?"

Hearing the question, Chen Guangke curled his lips and replied to Shen Yan, "You don't need to say anything. Just sit there in front of them. Whatever they say, you just listen."

Shen Yan: "... Why don't I trust you at all?"

Chen Guangke complained while driving, "Didn't you ask me yourself? I told you, and you don't believe me..."

Shen Yan: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you have absolutely no experience. What if I follow your advice and they end up disliking me?"

In Chen Guangke's mind, it was simply impossible for Liu Hui's parents not to like Shen Yan.

After all, Shen Yan was tall, handsome, and rich.

"Sigh, stop overthinking. It's not your first time anyway; it's the second."

Shen Yan: "..."

Tsk!

How could Chen Guangke poke him right where it hurt!

Not long after.

The two arrived together at the entrance of Liu Hui's residential complex.

"Alright, you can stop here."

Chen Guangke also had no intention of going up.

Although there were many gifts, Shen Yan could carry them up himself.

"Then I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything."

Shen Yan nodded, turned around, and took the housewarming gifts to go upstairs.

Liu Hui rented an apartment in the complex.

The floor was the thirteenth floor.

Shen Yan carried the gifts into the elevator, pressed the button for the thirteenth floor, and waited quietly for the elevator to arrive.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened.

Shen Yan walked to Liu Hui's front door.

Looking at the door with the house number '1304' hanging on it.

Shen Yan couldn't help but feel his heart race.

He took a deep breath.

He put down the gifts in his right hand and then politely knocked three times.

Immediately after, he picked up the gifts again and waited at the door.

"Coming!"

A strange woman's voice came from inside the door.

Immediately after.

A middle-aged woman wearing an apron and with her hair tied up opened the door.

The other party was first stunned when she saw him, and then greeted him warmly, "You must be Little Shen, right?"

Shen Yan nodded reservedly to the woman and said, "Hello, Auntie. I am Shen Yan. These are some small gifts I brought for you."

The smile on the middle-aged woman's face grew wider. She ushered Shen Yan into the house while saying to him, "Why did you bring gifts? Hurry, hurry, come in!"

At this moment, Liu Hui also came out from inside the room.
