108: Who are these two?

"Hmm! We're here, time to wake up."

Chen Kai smiled faintly and turned off the Mercedes-Benz.

"Ah! Why so fast!"

Tang Yunshu became visibly flustered in an instant, helplessly clutching Chen Kai's sleeve.

Liu Yunshang was equally nervous; her heart was in her throat. What if Uncle and Auntie didn't like her?

But on the surface, she still feigned ease. "Yunshu, what are you nervous about? I'm not very nervous at all!"

Liu Yunshang's fingertips were trembling slightly, and her mind was blank, yet she still forced a smile on her face, which was stiff with tension.

"Let's go, time to get out of the car."

Chen Kai patted Tang Yunshu's small head, signaling her not to be nervous, before slowly pushing open the car door.

The three of them got out of the car together. Chen Kai held each of their hands as they walked towards the slightly dilapidated residential building.

"Wow, Brother, every unit here is occupied. It feels so full of life!"

Tang Yunshu looked around with great curiosity. The residential complex was mostly inhabited by Old Men and Old Women, with several groups gathered together playing cards or dancing.

"Yeah, the scenery here is quite nice too. There's even a river nearby; it's a riverfront property!"

Liu Yunshang also chimed in to be polite, though she felt increasingly nervous.

"It is quite full of life; everyone nearby basically knows each other." Chen Kai held both their hands and walked into the building entrance, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

On the white wall of the stairwell, there were still doodles he had scribbled when he was a naive child.

Stopping on the third floor, Chen Kai gently knocked on the teal-colored security door.

Before long, footsteps could be heard from inside the room.

"Who is it? Coming."

A kind female voice came from the room. Liu Yunshang and Tang Yunshu both tightened their grip on Chen Kai's hand simultaneously, looked at each other, and were visibly nervous.

"Mom, I'm home."

Chen Kai said softly, a strange emotion welling up in his heart.

"Xiao Kai?!"

The female voice inside sounded surprised, and the door was immediately opened.

Chen Kai watched the door open, revealing a kind face, wearing reading glasses and constantly peering outside.

"Son! Quick, come inside! Mom stewed your favorite braised pork ribs."

"Who are these two…"

A flash of confusion crossed Mom's eyes, but she quickly ushered them inside.

"Hello, Auntie, I am Chen Kai's girlfriend…"

Liu Yunshang said, blushing, forcing a smile, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"Hello, Auntie… um… I am also Chen Kai's… girlfriend…"

Tang Yunshu kept her head down, standing at the doorway, afraid to look at her expression.

"Huh?! Oh! Both are Chen Kai's girlfriends? Then… then… then come in quickly… Don't just stand outside. Old Man, come out quickly! Our son brought his girlfriends home!"

Mom was stunned; when she heard that both were girlfriends, her brain almost couldn't process it.

Chen Kai smiled faintly, changed his shoes, and found two pairs of handmade ladies' slippers in the old shoe cabinet. "These were handmade by my mom. Why don't you two wear these while you're here?"

"Ah? Auntie handmade these? They must be very comfortable."

Liu Yunshang immediately took off her red-bottomed black high heels, slipped her jade-like feet into the handmade slippers, and immediately broke into a smile.

"Hehe, you can't buy handmade slippers on the market. These kinds of slippers are the most comfortable!"

Tang Yunshu also immediately changed her shoes and closed the door behind her. "Wow, Auntie's craftsmanship is too good. You can even make slippers!"

"Yeah! They really are so comfortable to wear. Auntie, you're amazing!"

Hearing their praise, Mom couldn't hide her fondness for them. "Haha, I'm glad you like them. If you like them, Auntie will make you two more pairs in the next couple of days for you to take home."

"The slippers sold nowadays aren't healthy. They're not good to wear for a long time!"

Chen Kai waved his hands repeatedly. "Mom, where's Dad? How come I don't see him coming out?"

"Old Man! Turn off the fire first. Our son is back, hurry up."

The next moment, an Old Man with a slight smile on his face walked out of the kitchen. He was also stunned after seeing the two people beside Chen Kai.

"Son, you're back? Who are these two…"

"Hello, Uncle, I am Chen Kai's girlfriend…"

"Hello, Uncle… I am also… Chen Kai's girlfriend."

Dad was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Chen Kai.

This kid has really made something of himself. He truly is my son!

He immediately walked over, his smile extremely radiant. "You two go sit with Chen Kai, Uncle is going to go stew the ribs!"

"Okay~ Uncle's cooking must be very good, right? I could smell the aroma from the living room!"

Tang Yunshu smiled obediently, feeling that Uncle and Auntie weren't too fierce after all!

"Yeah, I smelled the aroma too. I didn't expect Uncle and Auntie's cooking to be so great!"

Liu Yunshang also smiled, linking arms with Chen Kai.

"That's right. Usually, your Auntie does the cooking. I don't easily take action myself."

Dad chuckled and teased, "You guys sit first and wait to taste my cooking."

"Alright, it must be delicious! Do you need our help, Uncle?"

"Yeah, both of us know how to cook too. Do you need us to help?"

Both girls spoke at the same time. The smile on Mom's face was practically overflowing. Her son had made something of himself, and these two young ladies were both so beautiful and so sensible!

"Sit down quickly, you two don't need to help. Your Uncle can handle it himself."

"Auntie is going to go wash some fruit for you. You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long!"

Tang Yunshu waved her hands repeatedly. "Auntie, come and rest with us."

Seeing this situation, Chen Kai felt… that he was actually the outsider?

"Hey, hey, hey, why do I feel like I'm the one who's the daughter-in-law visiting? Mom, aren't you going to care about me at all!"

Chen Kai said somewhat resentfully. This was clearly the rhythm of them isolating him.

Not a single word had been said to him; was this right?

"Oh my, what care does a big Young Man need? I'm caring for my two daughters-in-law!"

Mom's face was full of smiles. She liked these two young ladies more and more the more she looked at them.

"Hehe~ Auntie, Yunshang and I bought gifts for you and Uncle. We forgot to bring them up. The three of us are going to go down and get them, okay~"

Tang Yunshu kept showing a sweet smile, but suddenly remembered she had arrived empty-handed and was instantly a bit flustered. How could she meet Uncle and Auntie empty-handed?

"Yeah! The gifts we bought for you and Uncle are still in the car trunk. Little brother, accompany us down to get them."

Liu Yunshang sat properly on the sofa and secretly tugged at Chen Kai's sleeve.

"Look, you're here, why bring gifts? Your Uncle and I don't lack anything. You should hurry up and take them back to return them. Don't waste money. Your Uncle and I are already very happy just seeing you two come to our home!"

Mom immediately showed an unsatisfied expression, constantly winking at Chen Kai, signaling him to take these things to be returned.

"Mom, return what? I didn't even want them to buy anything, but they hid it from me and bought a whole carload. What can I do?"

Chen Kai shook his head helplessly.
