Monopolize My Mysterious Wife
Chapter 1023 - 1023 1008 Jue and Zhans Couple Extra (7)

Chapter 1023: 1008, Jue and Zhan’s Couple Extra (7) Chapter 1023: 1008, Jue and Zhan’s Couple Extra (7) It was late at night, and Lou xin was still in the car; she didn’t get a clear look at Bai Jue’s face. Now that she saw him up close, a thrill passed through her eyes.

If she hadn’t already fallen for He Min, she definitely would have been moved by this man.

“Bai Jue, let’s go,” Zhan Mingyan didn’t want to talk to her anymore and took Bai Jue’s hand to leave.

Bai Jue handed her a hot drink then took the half-eaten roasted sweet potato from her hand.

“Miss Zhan, I didn’t mean anything else by what I just said. If you consider Brother He Min a friend, please keep your distance from him and don’t let him get the wrong idea,” Lou xin said, still hopeful.

Zhan Mingyan frowned. When did He Min get to know this kind of person?

Bai Jue glanced at Lou xin and finally his gaze landed on the roasted sweet potato. A smile lifted the corner of his lips, “Miss, what exactly do you mean by ‘keep your distance’ that you just mentioned?”

As his magnetic voice rang out, Lou xin’s heart began to race.

“I didn’t mean anything else, just that friends should also keep a proper distance, otherwise it’s very easy to cause misunderstandings,” she explained.

Bai Jue’s eyebrows raised slightly, “Speak plainly if there’s an implication. You keep repeating ‘no other meaning’, yet you emphasize it so many times. You still haven’t mastered playing the white lotus role.”

His sharp words turned Lou xin’s face pale.

“This is my girlfriend, and I’m a bit short-tempered. I can’t stand others speaking ill of her or slinging mud,” Bai Jue’s eyelids lifted slightly as his gaze sharply targeted her, “I’d be grateful if you see my girlfriend in the future and don’t come over, stay away from her.”

“Miss Zhan, I’ve already said I didn’t mean anything else. Isn’t your boyfriend being too aggressive?” Lou xin said, trembling with anger.

Zhan Mingyan retorted calmly, “My boyfriend also didn’t mean anything else; he just wants you to stay away from me.”

Bai Jue curved his lips into a smile, “Right, it seemed like you’ve been eyeing the roasted sweet potato in my girlfriend’s hand since just now. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

As he finished speaking, his fingertips relaxed, and the remaining half of the sweet potato accurately and unquestionably landed on those black high heels.

The high heels, adorned with sequins, now had the golden-orange sweet potato mushed on top, causing Lou xin’s face to change instantly.

It was the limited-edition pair of shoes she’d managed to get with difficulty!

“You…”

“Don’t mention it, it’s a gift for you,” Bai Jue said coldly with a smile then left with Zhan Mingyan.

“Ah—”

The sound of Lou xin’s frustrated screech echoed behind them as Zhan Mingyan laughed, her shoulders shaking.

“Bai Jue, you’re actually quite cool,” she said.

“Oh, to hear a compliment about me from you is indeed a rare treat,” Bai Jue stretched out his arm and casually draped it over her shoulder, purposefully resting half his weight on her.

“You’re so heavy, get off,” she protested.

The two of them joked around, their sweetness cloying.

After spending nearly half a month in the hospital, the old master Zhan was finally allowed to leave.

“Ah Ze, we owe Bai Jue a lot for this time. Call him to join us for dinner at home today,” the old master Zhan, lying in the ward, had a much better complexion thanks to Bai Jue’s treatments.

Zhan Ze was packing up old master Zhan’s clothes and responded, “Mmm, Ahui has cooked a big table of dishes and is waiting at home.”

Speaking of the devil, and he shall appear.

The ward door wasn’t closed, and Bai Jue walked straight in.

“Why are you here?” Zhan Mingyan asked.

Bai Jue rubbed her head out of habit and gave her a head pat, “Grandfather Zhan is being discharged today; of course, I had to come and see.”

“Bai Jue has arrived,” the old master Zhan said, beaming with satisfaction upon seeing Bai Jue.

He was very fond of this grandson-in-law.

“Here, have a drink,” Bai Jue handed her a juice then went over to chat with the old master Zhan.

Zhan Mingyan looked at the juice in her hand and her lips curled slightly.

She mentioned it offhandedly, but he actually went and bought it for her.

This guy…

“Grandpa Zhan, how are you feeling today?”

“Not too bad, could take down two tigers.” Grandpa Zhan stroked his beard and said, “By the way, come back with us later, and stay for dinner at our place.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Jue’s dark eyes lit up.

Is this considered meeting the parents?

He turned his face to look at Zhan Mingyan, who, upon catching his gaze, quickly looked up at the sky.

Hmm, she knows nothing about it.

“Sure, I won’t be polite then.”

“What’s there to be polite about? Just treat it like your own home.” Grandpa Zhan added smoothly.

Zhan Mingyan looked down, sipping through the straw, feeling helpless inside.

Grandpa, you really are eager to marry me off, aren’t you?

On the way back, Grandpa Zhan rode in Zhan Ze’s car, so naturally, Zhan Mingyan took Bai Jue’s car.

Zhan Mingyan sipped her juice, gazing out at the scenery.

“Little Yannyan, since we’re meeting the parents today, should I go buy some gifts?” Bai Jue spoke while driving.

Zhan Mingyan doused him with cold water, “Who said it’s meeting the parents?”

“Grandpa Zhan just personally invited me to your house for dinner. Isn’t that just like meeting the parents?” Bai Jue stopped the car at a red light.

He joked, “And since your grandpa, dad, and mom all seem to like me, why don’t we just settle, huh?”

“Who’s going to settle with you, don’t flatter yourself,” Zhan Mingyan gave him a light slap, “Green light, hurry up and drive.”

Bai Jue drove off, shamelessly saying, “Anyway, this counts as meeting the parents. Otherwise, let’s ask Grandpa Zhan to judge, let him have the final say.”

Zhan Mingyan huffed. He was clever indeed.

If grandpa were to judge, she would definitely lose.

As soon as they got home, Grandpa Zhan’s spirits were even better.

He shook off Zhan Ze’s helping hand and strode into the living room.

“Dad, it’s time to take your medicine.”

Lu Hui came out of the kitchen, handed Grandpa Zhan a glass of water, and also got the medicine.

Grandpa Zhan took it, popped the pills into his mouth, and then took a couple of sips of water.

“Bai Jue, come and play a couple of rounds with me.”

Ever since he found out Bai Jue could play chess, Grandpa Zhan would occasionally catch him in the hospital to keep him company in playing chess; as soon as he got home and saw the chessboard, he couldn’t wait to play.

“Dad, don’t rush to play chess. It’s Bai Jue’s first visit to our house, let Yannyan give him a tour, let him familiarize himself with the place.” Zhan Ze, catching the hint from his wife, said understandingly.

Getting the hint from Zhan Ze’s words, Grandpa Zhan agreed without further words.

Familiarizing with the place is good. After all, they´ll be family sooner or later.

“Yannyan, show Bai Jue around.”

Zhan Mingyan nodded and took Bai Jue out.

Actually, except for the time of Zhan Mingyan’s traditional Chinese medicine incident when he helped send her home, he had been to the Zhan’s a few times but had not really taken a good look around.

Given that Grandpa Zhan and Zhan Ze held high positions year-round, it goes without saying that the security guards at their home were top-notch. The Zhan family was small in number, so their property wasn’t as large as the Quan Family’s, but the environment was quite serene and comfortable, very suitable for living.

“Little Yannyan, why don’t we take advantage of today’s family meeting and go get our marriage certificate while we’re at it?” Bai Jue seized the opportunity to bring up marriage.
