My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Chapter 180 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 10

The car stopped in front of a big house. Xue Lin paid the driver and they got out.

The big house seemed quiet. The lights of the rooms were turned off.

Ge Chen asked her, "Are you sure people live here? It's evening already and I see no light turned on."

"Do you want to see magic?" Xue Lin grinned.

She knocked on the main door and instantly the whole house lighted up. Who could tell that it was completely dark a few seconds ago?

"Surprise!" she said to the amazed Ge Chen.

The door was opened by a sixty years old woman.

"Auntie Yufu!" Xue Lin smiled brightly and hugged her tightly.

"X-Xue Lin!" Aunt Yufu was baffled by the unexpected visitor.

Xue Lin answered, "Yep, that's me. How are you doing?"

Aunt Yufu was in tears. It showed how much affection she had for this girl. "It's been so long! How did you recognize the way here? Did you ask anyone?"

Xue Lin responded, "Nope, I could never forget the way of your house."

Aunt Yufu observed her face properly. She said, "That's good, that's good." Her eyes finally landed behind her and she didn't know what to say, "That man behind you…"

Xue Lin turned around and introduced, "Oh, that's my husband. My husband, this is auntie Yufu, my father's cousin and auntie Yufu, this is Ge Chen, my husband."

Aunt Yufu was really happy for this child. "Oh, you finally married. I'm so happy for you but why didn't I get the news of your marriage?"

"I will tell you everything but first, let me eat something. I'm starving." Xue Lin rubbed her stomach.

Aunt Yufu was ashamed of her own action. She was so excited to see Xue Lin and her husband that she forgot to welcome them properly. "Aiyoo, I forgot. Come in, come in both of you."

Inside the house, it didn't look abandoned at all. It was huge. It was grandeur. It was spotless.

Servants were working and walking. They greeted their mistress and the guests.

"I like this craftsmanship. Who did this?" Looking at the designs on the wooden furniture and wooden doors and windows, Ge Chen asked.

Aunt Yufu was taken by surprise by his comment. She responded, "You have a keen eye, Xiao Chen. These furniture, doors and windows were all done by my husband. We were still newly wedded. He was married to me and stayed here because of his poor background. Ah, he was a great man."

"I'm sorry for your loss." Ge Chen politely apologized.

"It's all right. All I remember are the good memories he left me." Aunt Yufu smiled. "Xue Lin, you married an interesting guy. I like him."

"Of course, my choice cannot be wrong," Xue Lin boasted.

They were offered a guest room. Xue Lin and Ge Chen freshened up quickly and changed clothes.

Before they headed out, Ge Chen asked, "Why did auntie Yufu say that I was an interesting guy?"

Xue Lin answered straightforwardly, "It's because most of the boys in our family are dumb. You will find out soon enough."

They went to the dining room and Xue Lin declared with a flashy smile, "Now this is what you call a feast!"

There were wonton soup, fish soup, sweet rice balls, Buddha jumps over the wall, shepherd's purse tofu soup, hot and sour soup, stir-fried tofu with rice, spring rolls, dim sum, Szechwan chili chicken, chicken with nuts, honey chili potato, wok-tossed veggies in honey and black bean glaze, dry-fried cumin beef (Hunan Style), Guangdong beef flank, roasted duck, good fortune fruit, steamed sponge cake, sesame seed balls, eight-treasure rice pudding, sugar rings, and walnut cookies.

Ge Chen whispered to Xue Lin, "Don't you think it's a bit too much for dinner?"

Xue Lin whispered back, "That's what you get after getting married to our family – a royal service."

Aunt Yufu smiled at them and said, "Sit down. You two must be tired from a long journey. You came to attend Bojin's wedding right?"

Fa Bojin was Xue Lin's fifth brother who was getting married in two days.

"That's right. Otherwise, I would have been in Italy to attend my friend's wedding," Xue Lin replied.

The butlers served the dishes one by one.

Aunt Yufu urged, "So tell me about your marriage. No, first tell me when you came back. You suddenly vanished without a trace and your parents said that you went abroad to study. That was quite a shock for us."

"Long story short I worked as a freelancer and saved money to study abroad. I came back due to the false news my sister gave me. I knew father was sick but they were planning on forcing me to marry a guy who sleeps around with women and so does his mother."

Aunt Yufu gasped in shock. "Oh no! Why would your family do such a thing? I know your father. He would never-"

Xue Lin knew that her aunt would support her father. After all, they were blood-related. She didn't give the chance to her aunt to finish her sentence.

She continued, "That guy is an illegitimate child of the powerful Ge Family. My husband is the legitimate child of the Ge Family. Because of his support, I was able to break free from that marriage."

Aunt Yufu couldn't chew the remaining food in her mouth. She could hardly believe what she just heard. She looked at Ge Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, is that true?"

Ge Chen calmly answered, "That's right. Lin and I were acquaintances. I've met her in Europe several times. After coming back to China when I found out about how my family and her family were mistreating her, I offered her a hand in marriage."

"Unbelievable!"

Xue Lin stated, "We have met my parents and they were upset that I married a good guy rather than a womanizer. Now the only thing left is for my relatives to know about my husband."

Aunt Yufu questioned her worriedly, "Are you sure it's okay for him to meet our relatives?"
