My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1987: Chapter 1988: Both of Them Are Fools

Li Shengxiao stood tall and straight in front of her, his expression sincere, his eyes earnest, "Mom, can you entrust Yanyan to me?"

Jiang Chenyue came back to her senses, her expression complicated, "Why should I entrust her to you? I remember I said before, I don’t like you, you’re not the suitable husband I want for her."

Back then, he didn’t refute her at all. She knew what he was up to. It was nothing but a clear understanding that the banquet she set up that day was for Lin Wei and Lin Teng, aiming to pressure the Lin Family and stand up for Yan.

Adding this time, she had been schemed by the same young fellow twice in a row, and Jiang Chenyue was truly unsettled.

What concerned her even more was worry.

This man was too deep, so deep that even she wasn’t a match for him sometimes, and Yanyan’s straightforward nature was even less his match.

As a mother, she really didn’t like this kind of son-in-law.

Even if this son-in-law was someone countless girls in the country wanted to marry, she still didn’t like him!

She narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "I don’t know what method you used to persuade the two men in our family, but your tricks won’t work on me!"

Cui Jiangjing unconsciously became nervous, watching the two, sweating for Li Shengxiao.

This mother-in-law was difficult to deal with.

Li Shengxiao met her stern gaze, hands in his pockets, a composed expression on his handsome face, looking into her eyes and replying, "I’m marrying her, not you. Your approval is a boon, but your disapproval won’t affect today’s wedding."

Jiang Chenyue thought he would say nice things to please her, but she didn’t expect him to say that, and her face immediately changed, "What do you mean!"

Li Shengxiao didn’t shy away and said, "I decided to marry her from before she knew about the Chu Family or her own background, and that hasn’t changed."

Jiang Chenyue’s face turned unpleasant, yet she was left speechless.

He softened his tone, "Whether she’s called Rong Yan or Chu Xi makes no difference to me. I acknowledge her as a person! She’s your daughter, you cherish her, love her, and want to protect her, so I respect you and Dad. I want to gain your approval for that reason; no one doesn’t need family, and she’s no different."

Li Shengxiao glanced towards the room. From his angle, he couldn’t see the situation inside, only seeing Su Xiansui and Lin Wan standing there.

He withdrew his gaze and met Jiang Chenyue’s eyes again, his thin lips moving, "I want to give her a wedding blessed by family."

His voice was hoarse, showing the exhaustion of getting up early and being busy all morning.

"Mom, I hope she only remembers happy things from today, nothing unhappy."

On the other side of the wall, Rong Yan couldn’t see his expression while speaking, but her heart was full, sweet like she had eaten cotton candy! Yet so sour that her nose stung, and it felt like something was going to gush from her eyes.

"...Idiot."

She whispered, her voice so soft only Gu Linxi heard it.

Gu Linxi glanced at her, silently grasping her hand.

Rong Yan’s hand was held, the warm moisture against her slightly cool palm. She raised her head and finally suppressed the sourness in her eyes and nose.

"Thank you."

It took her three hours to finish her makeup, what if she couldn’t hold back, and her mascara smudged?

Gu Linxi lightly patted the back of her hand, laughingly scolding, "...Idiot! You’re an idiot too!"
