Time flew by, and before long, it was Saturday. Early in the morning, Pei Rou had called to notify Su Chen that he was to come over for dinner that evening.
However, her tone was somewhat different from before, less of a warm invitation and more of a command.
Su Chen had no choice but to agree, after all, who made him toy with someone's daughter and get caught in the act?
But to go to Tang Yun's place, he'd have to wait until the evening, so during the day he stayed at home to keep Lin Ruoxue company.
For Su Chen, spending time at home with his wife was arguably the most comfortable thing, and sometimes when she was in a good mood, he could even score some extra perks!
In Lin Ruoxue's eyes, no matter what her mood was, he seemed never to have a moment of sincerity.
If you scolded him, he'd take it as if you were praising him. Hitting him wasn't an option he'd retaliate against, but with his thick-skinned nature, it didn't have any effect anyway!
In the end, as long as the guy wasn't overly outrageous, she let him do as he pleased.
At that moment, the two were sitting on the couch, Su Chen's arm seemingly around her, but his hand had actually moved somewhere else, his face expressing sheer enjoyment.
Wang Ma, who was bustling about, saw this scene and pretended not to have seen anything, continuing on with her work, though she couldn't help but admire her son-in-law's thick skin.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Lin Ruoxue nudged him with her elbow and said with a blushing face.
"Wang Ma, could you open the door, please?"
Su Chen shouted, too busy to bother himself with it. And who was this damn person disrupting his pleasant time by showing up now?
"Hello, is Mr. Su Chen here?"
A friendly voice came from the doorstep.
"Yes, please come in."
Wang Ma called out with warmth.
As soon as Su Chen heard that voice, his facial expression changed, and he withdrew his hand from Lin Ruoxue.
Lin Ruoxue also stood up quickly, as it was only polite to greet a visitor properly.
Yet, even though the visitor had come for Su Chen, he did not rise to welcome him and even showed a trace of displeasure on his face!
Of course, Su Chen was displeased; he recognized the visitor's voice.
This fellow was a total night owl, and his arrival surely meant nothing good!
However, this night owl in Su Chen's eyes appeared completely different to Lin Ruoxue.

She saw a man in his fifties, with slightly graying temples and clothes that although not luxurious, were neat and clean.
What drew the most attention, however, was his aura. Although he was all smiles, he exuded an oppressive authority.
It was a natural authority that radiated from within.
The authority and oppression he gave off were much stronger than what she felt from the Family Heads of the Four Great Families!
Lin Ruoxue was no stranger to the world, and she immediately deduced that this man was one of those high-ranking figures who had been in power for a long time.
"Mrs. Su, I presume? Sorry to intrude."
The man said with a big smile, extending a hand.
"Welcome, and how should I address you?"
Lin Ruoxue also reached out and gently shook his hand.
"Qin Ming. I'm friends with Mr. Su and needed to discuss something with him."
Qin Ming was very polite, and anyone who knew him would be stunned to see him .
You see, he was the head of the Special Security Bureau in Huaxia Country, wielding considerable power.
But Qin Ming had to act this way, as his visit was entirely out of need!
"I'm not that close to you, you old fart."
Su Chen curled his lip and said,
"Wife, come here, ignore him!"
"Su Chen, he's a guest, how can you treat a guest ?"
Lin Ruoxue said with some displeasure.
She was also curious. Although her husband was usually carefree and not too concerned with etiquette,
he wasn't usually so unreasonable!
"What kind of guest is he supposed to be."
Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue back to the couch, wrapping an arm around her, but this time without any excess motions, appearing quite proper.
"We are about to have dinner at our home, and we don't have any extra food, so please leave."
