It was already past 8 pm when Wang Teng reached home. Wang Shengguo was back. He was watching television with Li Xiumei in the living room.
Doudou was having fun with Little White at the side. The little girl’s laughter echoed in the entire living room.
“Son, how was it?” Li Xiumei immediately moved over and asked when she saw Wang Teng opening the door.
Wang Shengguo appeared to be watching the television, but his ears were perked up.
“What do you mean?” Wang Teng pretended like he didn’t know. He walked into the living room and plonked on the sofa. “Doudou, come over here.”
“Coming.” Doudou abandoned Little White and stumbled towards Wang Teng, jumping into his arms.
“Don’t try to play dumb. Tell me.” Li Xiumei glared at him. She didn’t buy his nonsense at all. Instead, she walked over and pulled his ear.
“Mom, let go! Let go! Save some dignity for me in front of Doudou,” Wang Teng shouted. Doudou laughed happily.
“Are you going to tell me or not?” Li Xiumei said.
“Yes, I will. I’ll tell you everything you want to know. I’ll not hide anything from you.” Wang Teng immediately succumbed to his mother’s might. 7-star soldier-level martial warrior? That was nothing. You had to admit defeat when you should.
Wang Shengguo sniggered secretly. Ever since his son came back, his wife had shifted her firepower to him…
This feels so good!
“How was your visit? Did her parents like you?” Li Xiumei asked.
“It was good. They like me very much.” Wang Teng boasted.
“Really?” Li Xiumei looked suspicious. She didn’t believe him.
“Of course. Whose son am I ?” Wang Teng flattered his mother indirectly.
“That’s true. My son is indeed outstanding.” Li Xiumei nodded.
“My genes are not bad either,” Wang Shengguo said.
“Shush.” Li Xiumei rolled her eyes at him in disdain. Then, she smiled and asked Wang Teng, “How’s her family? Tell Mom more about them.”
Wang Teng pondered for a moment. He felt that there was nothing to hide, so he briefly explained Lin Chuhan’s family condition to her.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei already had a general idea, but they didn’t know the details. After listening to Wang Teng, they finally understood Lin Chuhan’s family background.
Li Xiumei felt sad for Lin Chuhan. She lamented, “I didn’t know that this child has suffered so much ever since she was young. Her father was a martial warrior? I didn’t know that. Speaking about it, being a martial warrior is really dangerous.”
She looked at Wang Teng worriedly.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’m very powerful. No one can hurt me,” Wang Teng comforted her.
“Sigh, forget it. You’re not young anymore. I can’t stop you. However, you must take care of yourself,” Li Xiumei didn’t forget to remind him.
“I know.” Wang Teng nodded quickly.
“You said that you cured Chuxia’s strange illness?” Wang Shengguo asked. They had seen Lin Chuxia before, so they knew that there were poison patches on her face. She couldn’t live like her peers. They were concerned about her.
“That’s right. It isn’t an illness but a special physique. When I went to the Xingwu Continent, I coincidentally found a way to handle her special physique,” Wang Teng said.
“I see.” Wang Shengguo nodded. He was contemplating something.
“Her face is healed?” Li Xiumei was elated. “I could tell that that young lady was a beauty. She must be pretty after her face has healed.”
“Yes.” Wang Teng smiled and replied, “Mom, you’re right. She’s as pretty as her sister.”
“Alright, alright. Bring them over for a meal. Your dad and I want to meet them,” Li Xiumei said.
“Erm…” Wang Teng was in a dilemma.
Was this considered meeting each other’s parents?
He hadn’t confirmed his relationship with Lin Chuhan yet. How was he supposed to invite her without a valid reason?
“What’s the problem? You went to their house and met her parents. Don’t you think your dad and I should meet her too?” Li Xiumei glanced at Wang Teng from the corner of her eyes. A frightening aura surged out of her body.
Wang Teng shivered. He immediately nodded and replied, “Yes, you should. I’ll definitely bring her home when there’s a chance.”
“You don’t need to look for a chance. Bring her after the new year,” Li Xiumei threatened him.
“Can we push it back?” Wang Teng made his final struggle with caution.
“What do you think?” Li Xiumei glared at him.
“It’s just a meal. Your mom and I aren’t hard to interact with. What are you so worried about?” Wang Shengguo chimed in.
“Alright, alright.” Wang Teng admitted defeat in the end.
He couldn’t avoid it.
All kinds of images flashed past her mind.

Confession was a skill too.
