The Crazy Son-In-Law

Yao Cen dipped her finger in a bit of saliva and gave it a quick tap against his cheek. Xiao Shun opened his eyes and looked at her in shock, “My lady, do you think I was born yesterday?”

“I’ll do it myself if that’s the case!” he threatened.

“How dare you!” Yao Cen glared with a pouty smile.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“We will see!”

Soon, after a brief roughhousing and wrestling on the bed, Yao Cen was ultimately a fragile woman and was soon pinned on the bed beneath him. The small room suddenly fell quiet. Yao Cen’s exquisitely beautiful face was right in front of him. They were like centimeters away now and yet he simply could not find a single flaw on that perfect face. She was unbelievably gorgeous.

Xiao Shun stared at her in a daze, feeling the warmth and faint fragrance emanating from her body, and couldn’t help but feel his heart race. He silently swallowed as his Adam’s apple bobbed. Yao Cen’s face turned crimson, and her captivating eyes stared at him. She could even feel his pounding heartbeat. Perhaps the tea really had worked, she thought, as she had never thought of resisting.

She slowly closed her eyes, quietly anticipating. A moment later, she felt a brief, warm touch on her forehead. “I will wait for the day you’re willing,” Xiao Shun whispered as he stroked her hair, his voice soft and gentle.

She opened her eyes, her gaze filled with tenderness. Then she shyly looked away. At the same time, Xiao Shun’s eyes slowly slid from her face to her fair skin on her chest. He couldn’t help but swallow again. Yao Cen furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. This scoundrel didn’t seem that good after all!

Her previous passion vanished instantly. She forcefully pushed him away and kicked him off the bed. “You’re sleeping on the floor tonight!” Xiao Shun got up from the ground, brushed himself off, and laughed, “You must have felt much better now, right?” Yao Cen rolled her eyes at him, but truth be told, the previous heat had indeed dissipated, and her mood had softened quite a bit.

This scoundrel…

“Mom, I don’t want that tea anymore,” Yao Cen said, her face flushed, as they were having breakfast the next morning. “What’s wrong? I got that recipe from my friend. They said it could help with sleep and boost energy. You’ve been so busy lately, and you look terrible. My friend said you’d be fine in a month,” Liu Yunxiang said, puzzled.

“Uh… I’m fine, really,” Yao Cen replied.

‘A month? If you keep giving me that tea, that scoundrel would have done everything he wants to your daughter by then,’ Yao Cen thought to herself.

“Mom, you don’t need to prepare that tea for Yao Cen anymore. I’m a doctor too. I’ll give her a prescription. I’m here, so you don’t have to worry,” Xiao Shun said with a complicated smile.

“Fine! What a waste,” Liu Yunxiang said, somewhat disappointed.

The two exchanged glances, and Yao Cen blushed, pretending to be sipping her porridge. After breakfast, they both hurried off to work.

“My friend Wen Wanyu is getting married at the end of the month. She’s trying on her wedding dress this weekend and asked me to join her. Do you want to come with us?” Yao Cen said in the car.

“So soon? What is it? A shotgun wedding?”

“Not really, they knew each other before. The man is an executive in a company. He used to work at Harrow and is about to rebase to Stillwater,” Yao Cen explained.

“Oh, I’ll pass this time. Maybe you can have Zhu Que to with you instead.”

“Alright,” Yao Cen said, feeling a bit disappointed.

When they returned to the company, Mai Yaqin reported to them the situation of their online promotion. As soon as they released the news of them recruiting women with unattractive appearance nationwide, it immediately sparked a heated discussion online and, of course, some controversy. The most critic was Lan Ruo, a beautiful news anchor from the national television station.

She graduated from the Central Media Academy at the age of eighteen and directly obtained an internship at the national television station. In less than three years, she became a popular anchor on the women’s channel and a role model for women across the country. In the meanwhile, she was a feminist. She dismissed their recruitment as objectifying women and insisted that they should not judge women by their appearance but should evaluate them from a more spiritual perspective as members of society.

Xiao Shun didn’t bother to read her lengthy criticism. In today’s society, anyone who would say appearance didn’t matter was simply lying. The pursuit of beauty was a human instinct; otherwise, cosmetic companies wouldn’t generate billions, or even trillions, in annual sales. Studies had even shown that people with an attractive appearance would have a higher chance of success in job interviews than those with average looks.

Moreover, their product not only improved the skin color of girls but also regulated and optimized various functions of their bodies. Xiao Shun was confident that once their product hit the market, Starline would crush the entire cosmetics industry.

“President, the girls we’ve found will be arriving at the company in the next few days, and we can start our trials soon,” Mai Yaqin said.

“Good, we must ensure they have the best accommodations and meals; you should find someone to take care of this.”

“Do you think we need to contact local television stations and newspapers? Perhaps they can write a dedicated report about us,” Mai Yaqin suggested.

Yao Cen thought for a moment and said with a bitter smile, “Forget it. No one even knows about our company; who would be willing to write a report for us? If we have to pay for it, I think it’s not worth it. Let’s keep everything simple for now.”

“Alright,” Mai Yaqin nodded and asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you, President?”

“No, you can go ahead and get back to work.”

After Mai Yaqin left, Xiao Shun said, “She’s a good assistant.”

Yao Cen looked at him with a complex gaze and said, “Should I find you a girl for a secretary?”

Xiao Shun rubbed his nose and said, “No need, I don’t want that trouble.”

Yao Cen snorted lightly and ignored him.

At that moment, Long San knocked on the door and walked in with a beaming smile. “Mr. Xiao, you’re here too. My mom has prepared some dumplings and a few dishes. She’s wondering if you will have time to join us for a meal at my place.”

Ever since Xiao Shun gave him the prescription, his mother’s health had improved significantly.

Xiao Shun and Yao Cen exchanged glances, “Alright, I’m tired of the canteen anyway, so we’ll go to your place for lunch.”

“Great! I’ll go back and tell my mom to prepare a few more dishes,” Long San happily left.

Around noon, the two of them arrived at Long San’s small courtyard. As they entered, they saw Hu holding a small slingshot, squinting her eyes and aiming at a soda can hanging from a tree.

Whoosh!

With a thud, it hit exactly the mark.

The little girl was so delighted that she stomped her feet.

When she saw Xiao Shun and Yao Qin, she gave a somewhat shy smile. However, she was not as shy as when they had first met. Before they said anything, she greeted them, “Aunt Yao, Uncle Xiao, Dad hasn’t gotten off work yet, and Grandma is cooking inside. Let me take you in.”
