Xia Zhenfeng pointed at Xia Yiwei and shot Lin Yu a "see what I mean" look.
"See that?"
"Now do you know why I called you out to talk alone?"
"She lies as naturally as eating and drinking, without even blinking an eye!"
"Tell me, what could I possibly get out of you with her around?"
Lin Yu listened awkwardly from the sidelines.
He had to admire Weiwei's psychological fortitude!
During her answer just now, her expression and tone were so natural that it didn't seem made up at all.
If she didn't do this often, she absolutely wouldn't have reached such a masterful level.
You really couldn't blame Xia Zhenfeng for being on guard against her.
Having lived together for so many years, Xia Zhenfeng had probably experienced things like this way too many times.
Xia Yiwei scratched her cheek and looked up at Lin Yu.
It was as if she was trying to find the right answer in his eyes.
Since they had been talking for so long and she wasn't present, she naturally had no idea how Lin Yu had answered.
Lin Yu chimed in,
"Weiwei, I told Uncle Xia the truth."
"I think it's better to be honest. You don't need to cover for me anymore."
Lin Yu took the responsibility upon himself, so at least it didn't sound like Xia Yiwei was intentionally making a mistake.
Hearing this.
Xia Yiwei put on a knowing yet annoyed look and said to Xia Zhenfeng,
"Dad, you can't blame me for not being straightforward."
"Being a hacker isn't exactly a proper job, cooped up at home all day."
"If I had just come out and said it, I was worried you'd have a bad first impression of Lin Yu, right?"
Xia Zhenfeng: "..."
Lin Yu: "..."
Seeing the two grown men freeze once again.
Xia Yiwei scratched her cheek again, looked up at Lin Yu, and whispered like a mosquito,
"Is hacker wrong too? What on earth did you tell him?"
Even though Xia Yiwei was the one lying, her words made Lin Yu's cheeks burn.
He lowered his head and said quietly,
"Weiwei, really, stop making things up. I've already confessed to Uncle Xia that I'm still in school."
Xia Yiwei looked at her dad: "..."
Xia Zhenfeng let out a long sigh and waved his hand, saying,
"Alright, alright. Isn't a college student even better? What's there to hide!"
"Wouldn't it be nice for the child to have a father with a good educational background in the future?"
"You'd better fix this habit of lying!"
Xia Yiwei shuddered all over: "!!!"
Her eyes unconsciously drifted toward the window.
Despite her usually strong mindset, she didn't dare make eye contact with Lin Yu right now.
Although she had previously hinted at a similar idea to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu had only agreed verbally; they hadn't reached the point of informing the parents yet.
Her dad's mouth was just too fast!
She had only been gone for a little while, and both sides had already laid their cards on the table?
What Xia Yiwei was more worried about was Lin Yu's reaction...
Having dragged him onto this "ship" behind his back, wasn't there a possibility he might jump ship at any moment?
To her absolute surprise.
Before Xia Yiwei could feel anxious for too long.
Lin Yu actually patted her gently on the back and smiled sheepishly,
"Uncle Xia, I'm truly grateful that you aren't blaming me for being young and ignorant."
Xia Yiwei felt as if she had been enlightened; she instantly regained her energy!
Lin Yu's words held so much meaning!
Not only was he not angry at her for acting first and reporting later, but he was also being very cooperative.
Excited, Xia Yiwei linked her arm through Lin Yu's, deciding to quit while she was ahead and change the subject.
"Dad, stop making fun of us."
"How do you plan on dealing with Lei Siren?"
"Hmph! That bastard dared to gossip behind my back and call me a dirty rag!"
"Now, every time I see him, I want to rush up and punch him twice!"
Thank goodness Young Master Lei had attended today's dinner.
It allowed the "pregnancy incident" to be temporarily suppressed.
If they had kept talking about having a baby today, Lin Yu wouldn't have known how to walk out of the Xia family's door.
Maybe.
The wedding date would have been finalized right on the spot!
It had to be said.
A daughter truly knows her father best.
The subject was changed incredibly smoothly, directly shifting all of Xia Zhenfeng's attention to the matter regarding Lei Siren.
A serious expression reappeared on Xia Zhenfeng's face.
He furrowed his brows and said,
"Don't worry, sweetie. There will be a good show to watch in a bit."
"Today, not only am I going to teach that little bastard a lesson, but I'll also make sure he never dares to pester you again!"
"Someone else is coming over soon. You'll find out shortly!"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
