Kiss With Mr. CEO

Chapter 40 - Will you be a good wife and take care of my son?

Li Fu Tong looked around and felt the tragedy repeating itself. Because right 27 years ago, Li Guang had also walked in the house in the same manner as Li Luxian with his commoner wife, Li Shanguan. Of course, he opposed it back then.

Li Fu Tong couldn’t do anything to stop him at that time and he had to accept her. Now he couldn’t do anything to stop Li Luxian either.

Was he an elder just by name?

He felt weak in the legs as he fell back on the couch. His face reddened. The shock was too much and he got furious.

"How dare you disregard my words!", he shouted at Li Luxian.

Li Luxian eyes darkened. He didn’t want to drag Chen Feng into it. His grandfather was a stubborn and grumpy man. And Li Luxian was sure that Chen Feng wouldn’t disrespect him in any way as she did with Wang Hualing. So if he was to lash at her, she would have to suffer in silence. Because no matter what, he was still the elder of the Li family and couldn’t be disrespected.

"Mother, take Chen Feng inside", he decided wisely.

"But...", Chen Feng initiated.

"I’ll deal with it"

"Alright!", Li Shanguan’s eyes twinkled with affection as she grabbed her daughter-in-law.

Chen Feng was hesitant as she stared at Li Luxian with pleading eyes. He gave her an assuring smile. Willingly or unwillingly, she was dragged away by her clingy mother-in-law.

"Um... Ms. Li? Where are we going?", she asked hesitantly pondering over the possibility that she might be taking her to an altar to butcher her.

Chen Feng had a legit reason behind her reluctance. Mothers-in-law are supposed to be evil and averse to the unpermitted marriage of their sons. This was how it has always been since the beginnings of time.

According to the countless cliche dramas she had watched so far, mothers-in-law are gullible creatures easily persuaded by the evil one-sided lovers of the husbands and they are destined to fight by the side of those suitors to demand a divorce.

"To your wedding room sweety", Li Shanguan said softly, "And just call me mother"

Chen Feng’s head was numb as her brain inspected to smell some conspiracy. But she could find none. Either her mother in law was overly cunning hiding under a duplicitous mask or she was an overly innocent and kind-hearted woman. Chen Feng thought that a direct discourse was inevitable in this regard to unravel the truth.

"Ms. Li-I mean mother. May I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead sweety"

"Are you not angry at me?"

"For what?", she said cheerfully as nothing had happened at all.

"Um...for marrying your son behind your back without even notifying you let alone getting your permission, I guess?"

Li Shanguan laughed, opening the door to a beautifully decorated wedding room. The interior was designed elegantly and surely meticulously. Everything was red and rose petals scattered over the white sheets of the bed gave an aesthetic effect to the scenery.

Strange hotness warmed Chen Feng’s face.

Was it all prepared by her mother-in-law? Did she already know about the wedding? Those questions emerged in Chen Feng’s mind.

"Who said I was not notified?", said Li Shanguan with the same cheerfulness in her tune.

"Li Luxian told you?"

"No. I’ve other means to know", Li Shanguan eyes glinted mischievously.

Chen Feng was speechless. She didn’t know what to say. After a pause of silence, she slowly asked.

"So are you not against us?", she asked demurely.

"Of course not!", Li Shanguan said, "If not for you, I was afraid I would never be gifted with grandchildren"

"What do you mean? Li Luxian was already engaged..."

"Yes, he was...", Li Shanguan said as she went inside the room to close the curtains, "But what use would it have? Li Guang might have been able to get them married legally but he wouldn’t be able to force them to make babies"

Chen Feng made a weird face. She was seeing from where Li Luxian inherited his certain attributes.

"I’m grateful to you. Li Luxian has always been repulsed by females. But the way he looks at you... I know there s something. something his heart has been yearning for so long", Li Shanguan sighed, "And I wish for nothing more than my son happiness"

Chen Feng had felt it too. He always looked at her differently. But she had always dismissed it considering that it was all the part of an act. Could he act so well that he even deceived his own mother? Or did he really like her that much?

Chen Feng weighted her next words carefully.

"What if I’m a greedy person who married your son only for his money?"

Li Shyngun looked at Chen Feng. Worry appeared in her eyes as her expressions tensed. Then her expressions eased and a warm smile lit her soft, motherly features.

"I trust my son’s choice", she said grabbing Chen Feng hands and looking at her with deep, affectionate eyes, "The girl my son chooses, can’t be a bad girl"

Chen Feng felt a strange warmth surging in her heart. Her eyes almost watered witnessing the trust and love between the mother and the son. For someone who had never experienced parental love before, it was a sensitive topic for her.

"Tell me Chen Feng", Li Shanguan asked slowly, "Will you be a good wife and take care of my son?"

"I’ll do my best", Chen Feng said promptly without thinking what would she mean by promising it.

Li Shanguan took a deep sigh like a great burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

"Now I can rest assured", she looked at Chen Feng and smiled mischievously while walking out of the room winking at Chen Feng, "By the way this room is soundproof, so you guys don’t need to worry about us hearing anything. Be wild. Be yourself"

Chen Feng: "..."
