The King of Urban Mercenaries -
Chapter 389 - 389 389
389: 389 389: 389 “You kids, I told you the last time you came, not to bring anything next time you visit.
Why did you bring so much stuff again this time?”
At Chen Qi’s parents’ home, upon seeing Lin Fei enter with big and small bags, Chen’s mother scolded him, but actually felt slightly pleased as she let Lin Fei into the house.
Bringing many gifts is not frowned upon; it’s an age-old tradition in Mo Country.
Naturally, Lin Fei understood this principle.
“Auntie, I’m usually busy with work and rarely get the chance to visit.
It’s only right for me to bring more gifts for you and Uncle.”
Originally, Lin Fei hadn’t planned to buy so many gifts for Chen Qi’s parents, after all, it wasn’t his first time visiting them, and a few token gifts would have sufficed.
However, Chen Qi, the fierce policewoman, hoping to increase Lin Fei’s chances of persuading her parents to agree to her joining the SWAT team, specifically asked Lin Fei to choose a heap of gifts.
In short, the money for the gifts wasn’t spent by Lin Fei.
All he needed to do was to help Chen Qi carry the gifts into the house.
Regarding such matters where one could use someone else’s money to enhance one’s own status, Lin Fei was always quite interested.
“What do you mean ‘only right’?
Who brings so many gifts when returning to their own home?
Don’t think we don’t know, earning money isn’t easy for you now.
There’s still a long life ahead, and many places to spend money.
If you bring so much stuff next time, don’t bother coming in.”
Other than Chen Qi’s father, Chen Dingbang, who was a military man, no one else could speak so straightforwardly and forcefully.
“What nonsense are you spouting, child.
It’s rare for you guys to come back.
Lin, don’t mind your uncle; that’s just how he is.
From now on, come whenever you want, bring gifts if you like, better if you don’t.
In any case, consider our place as your own home.”
Although Chen’s mother did not speak as directly and forcefully as Chen Dingbang, her words still made Lin Fei feel somewhat uneasy.
Although both Chen Dingbang and his wife treated him quite amiably, even seeing him as part of the family, Lin Fei was, after all, only Chen Qi’s “pretend boyfriend.”
Being treated as part of the family made Lin Fei feel touched, but deep down, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
“Sit down, since you’re here, I also want to hear your opinion.
I suppose, the girl must have already told you about her wanting to join the SWAT team.”
After taking the cigarette that Lin Fei handed over, Chen Dingbang did not beat around the bush and invited Lin Fei to sit, promptly getting to the point.
Originally planning to follow her mother into the kitchen to pretend to be busy, when Chen Qi heard Chen Dingbang directly seek Lin Fei’s opinion so bluntly, she couldn’t pretend anymore and immediately sat next to Lin Fei.
Seemingly gently linking arms with Lin Fei, the implication of a warning reminder was unmistakable.
“My opinion doesn’t matter much, after all, it’s Qi Qi’s own decision, I’d prefer to hear Uncle and Auntie’s opinions first.”
As for Chen Qi, the fierce policewoman taking the initiative to get close, Lin Fei enjoyed the wonderful feeling her fiery body provided but was not really prepared to actually speak in favor of Chen Qi.
After all, when they had been downstairs, Chen Qi, the violent policewoman, hadn’t promised him any concrete help.
Of course, mainly, Lin Fei had reservations about the way Chen Dingbang and his wife treated him like one of their own.
After all, although he and Chen Qi, the violent policewoman, had become physically intimate, the two of them weren’t really boyfriend and girlfriend.
Emotionally, Lin Fei still didn’t want to interfere too much in Chen Qi’s personal affairs.
“Originally, I also agreed with her joining the special police force.
However, I asked Elder Xie about it.
This time, the special police force they are forming is different from before, requiring six months of consolidated training in the military.
Your aunt and I think that six months is too long.
With that six months, it would be better for you two to get married earlier so that we can hug our grandchildren sooner.”
After Chen Dingbang finished speaking, Chen’s mother also brought the fruit plate back to the living room and gave Chen Qi a stern look, then took over from Chen Dingbang.
“Yes, Lin.
Your uncle and I were also thinking of helping you pick a date so that you could get married sooner.
Whether or not we have grandchildren is a minor issue.
The main thing is, she’ll be gone for six months, and during that time, it won’t be easy for you to even see her.
You’re both still young, and your relationship is still relatively shallow; how can you endure it for six months?”
After Mr.
and Mrs.
Chen Dingbang had finished speaking, Lin Fei truly felt as though he had taken a walk past the gates of hell.
Originally, Lin Fei had planned to follow Mr.
and Mrs.
Chen Dingbang’s wishes and sabotage Chen Qi’s chance of joining the special police force.
After all, emotionally speaking, probably no man would want his woman to become increasingly fierce in combat.
Chen Qi was already violent enough; if she were to undergo training with the special police force, Lin Fei would have to exert more effort if he wanted to overpower her in the future.
However, once Mr.
and Mrs.
Chen Dingbang linked his marriage with Chen Qi into the conversation, it was clear that Lin Fei would now strongly support her joining the special police force!
At that thought, Lin Fei felt somewhat relieved.
If, upon entering the door, he had straightforwardly set out to sabotage Chen Qi’s admission to the special police force.
If that were the case, then without a doubt, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
“Uncle, Auntie, I understand your feelings.
Frankly speaking, emotionally, I also don’t want to be apart from Qi Qi.
However, joining the special police force and training with the military is her dream.
I think we should respect her personal wishes.”
Not respecting them wasn’t an option.
If the issue with Chen Qi joining the special police force failed, Lin Fei would have to face the consequences.
Imagine if Mr.
and Mrs.
Chen Dingbang impulsively helped prepare the wedding for him and Chen Qi, the violent policewoman.
That would indeed create a stir.
Seeing Lin Fei speak up for Chen Qi, Mrs.
Chen immediately showed some dissatisfaction, “Lin, how can you be confused too?
With other matters, we also want to respect her personal wishes.
The issue is, after joining the special police force, she has to go through six months of military training.
You need to think this through clearly.”
“Auntie, you’re right.
However, I don’t want Qi Qi to have any regrets because of me.
The training in the military can enhance her survival skills when she’s on duty.
Although six months is a bit long, if I can’t wait even for six months, I don’t think you and uncle would feel reassured about Qi Qi and me continuing our relationship, right?
Auntie, it’s just six months; I’m willing to wait!”
Not to mention just six months, even if it were one year or two, Lin Fei was clearly willing to wait.
Having understood Mr.
and Mrs.
Chen Dingbang’s strong opposition to Chen Qi joining the special police force, Lin Fei suddenly realized why Chen Qi had suddenly thought of joining the special police force…
