The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Don’t Ask What You Shouldn’t Ask

Speaking of his sister, Lin Hao asked, "Dad, Mom, do you know what Yanyan is busy with? What exactly is her job?"

Lin Fu and Lin Mu’s faces immediately darkened upon hearing their son’s question.

Lin Fu: "Mind your own business! Just focus on your work!"

Lin Mu: "Pay back your sister’s money soon! Then keep working hard to support the family, you’re going to be a dad soon, why so many questions!"

Lin Fu: "Just take care of yourself, don’t ask or say anything!"

Lin Hao: ... He didn’t say anything; he just asked casually!!!

Feeling shut down by his parents, Lin Hao wisely kept his mouth shut and refrained from asking any more about his sister, though the questions still lingered in his mind.

After returning home and parking the car, Lin Hao parted ways with his parents.

Just earlier at the Four Directions Restaurant, He Qi’an thoughtfully packed some dishes and suggested taking them home for his sister-in-law to try.

Lin Hao brought the packed food home for his wife to taste as well.

Upon entering, he saw his wife sitting in the living room watching TV.

Lin Hao: "Lanlan, have you eaten?"

Fan Lalan’s eyes lit up when she saw her husband, especially the take-out boxes in his hand.

"No, I didn’t feel like eating. Did you bring back food? Is it tasty?" she asked as she slowly got up and walked over.

Lin Hao nodded with a smile, "Yes, these are new dishes we hadn’t tried before. Xiao He specifically told us to pack them since you didn’t go, so you can try them."

Fan Lalan felt very grateful to her future brother-in-law after hearing this.

"Xiao He is so considerate, he even thought of me."

Lin Hao fetched a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen, "Yeah, I wanted to bring you some myself, but do you know how expensive these dishes are?"

Fan Lalan opened the three package boxes, "Wow, they even plated it! It’s so beautiful!"

Noting the exquisite presentation, Fan Lalan guessed, "It must be very expensive!"

"Yes, the cheapest one is two to three hundred per dish!"

Fan Lalan: !!!

She looked incredulously at the dishes in front of her, "What are they made of? So expensive!"

Lin Hao: "It’s a pity you didn’t go, the restaurant we went to today looked super luxurious inside..."

Fan Lalan couldn’t resist and picked a piece to taste.

"It’s delicious! No wonder it’s that expensive!"

She exclaimed and then picked another piece, offering it to her husband.

Lin Hao dodged, "You eat, I had lunch already."

"You should eat too; in that kind of setting, you probably didn’t eat much, right?"

Fan Lalan speculated, making Lin Hao feel warm inside, "Indeed, you wouldn’t believe, Xiao He’s family..."

"Oh my God!"

The couple chatted while eating, enjoying a very relaxed atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyan and He Qi’an had seen off Mr. He and Mr. He and were now driving home.

Since the engagement date was set, He Qi’an couldn’t stop smiling.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the person beside her, whose grin seemed to reach his ears, and shook her head with a chuckle, "Stop smiling so wide; doesn’t it hurt?"

He Qi’an turned with excitement to look at Lin Xiaoyan, his pitch-black pupils brimming with joy.

"It doesn’t hurt! Not at all!"

He took Lin Xiaoyan’s hand in his and held it tightly, "Yanyan, we’re getting engaged!"

Lin Xiaoyan helplessly nodded, "Yes, next month."

He Qi’an immediately corrected her, "No, it’s in sixteen days!"

"Really? I didn’t count the days." Lin Xiaoyan took out her phone and glanced at the calendar, oh, indeed, there were sixteen days left.

"Yanyan..."

Lin Xiaoyan put her phone away and looked at He Qi’an beside her, asking, "What is it?"

While driving, He Qi’an smiled and said, "From now on, I’ll be someone with a status."

"What status?"

"Lin Xiaoyan’s fiancé!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Lin Xiaoyan hadn’t expected He Qi’an to say something so cheesy, and she burst out laughing.

He Qi’an tilted his head to glance at his girlfriend, and seeing her laughing heartily, he laughed as well.

"Lin Xiaoyan, you’re also someone with status now."

Lin Xiaoyan laughed, "Yes, He Qi’an’s fiancée."

"Hahahaha"

Their laughter filled the car.

Upon returning home, Lin Fu and Lin Mu were all smiles, discussing when it would be appropriate to go to Beijing.

Nan Xi listened to Lin Fu and Lin Mu talk about the engagement.

At noon, Nan Xi was at home and didn’t go along with the others.

"Yanyan, did you see off Grandpa Xiao He and Dad?" Lin Fu asked when he saw his daughter had returned.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Yes, they flew out."

Lin Mu: "Yanyan, we were discussing when it would be appropriate to go to Beijing.

Your dad and I were just talking about it, and there’s not much time left until your engagement, so we’re wondering whether to stay in Sea City..."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Of course, you should stay here. If you go back and forth, it’s better to stay in Sea City, and then we can go a few days early to play in Beijing and return after the engagement."

"My sister-in-law is undergoing prenatal check-ups at the local hospital during this period, right?"

Lin Mu: "I’m just considering your sister-in-law, which makes me hesitate. If we stay another half month, your sister-in-law will be close to delivering, and I’m worried about anything happening on the road..."

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment, "Why not have the delivery here then?

And find a maternity center or a postpartum helper?"

Lin Fu said, "That’s also possible, but it’s just that handling the birth certificate and household registration could be troublesome."

Lin Mu nodded, "Yes, if it’s in a local hospital, we can directly get a birth certificate and register the household on the same day, and even take care of the child’s health insurance..."

Lin Xiaoyan was unaware of all these details.

"So... what should we do? Maybe we should discuss it with my brother and sister-in-law?"

Lin Mu nodded, "Okay, let’s discuss it tomorrow.

If it doesn’t work, we can all go back together, and then your dad and I can return later..."

Lin Fu: "Then who from our side will go?"

Lin Mu instantly glared at her husband, "Absolutely none from your brother’s side!

With her attitude, I’m afraid it’ll be embarrassing if she goes!"

Lin Fu stammered, "I never said she’d go..."

Lin Mu: "If we let your brother go without her, she’ll definitely stir up trouble, claiming in the village that you look down on people, don’t regard her..."

Lin Fu felt a headache at the mention of his sister-in-law’s behavior.

"Then let her uncle go along."

"Should we notify your brother?"

"This..."

Listening to her parents’ quarrel, Lin Xiaoyan quickly interjected, "Dad, Mom, there’s still time, let’s take our time to discuss!"

Lin Fu and Lin Mu looked at each other with serious expressions, and after hearing their daughter’s words, they stopped discussing.

"Alright, we’ll talk about it later."

The two went to their room, and as soon as Lin Xiaoyan caught her breath, arguments started echoing from her parents’ room.

"Anyway, I don’t care. If your brother complains, I’ll..."

"Why should he complain about..."
