Chapter 402: Chapter 422: Is This What Family Is? _1

Lin Chen went upstairs and saw Feng Yazhen leaning against her bedroom door, gazing at him leisurely.

Lin Chen felt inexplicably guilty.

"Aunt..."

Feng Yazhen poked Lin Chen with her finger, her tone somewhat reproachful, "You, oh you..."

Lin Chen knew that Feng Yazhen was blaming him for not planning to return, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Feng Yazhen didn’t say much more and pushed open the door of the room opposite her bedroom, "The pajamas, towels, and toiletries are all new. Have a wash and sleep early. You don’t need to get up early tomorrow. Just get up when you feel like it. This is home, don’t feel restrained. I’m going to sleep at least until nine o’clock."

"Alright!"

Feng Yazhen waved her hand, "Good night."

"Good night!"

Feng Yazhen returned to her room to sleep, Lin Chen quickly took a shower and changed into his pajamas before lying in bed.

It was already quite late, but Lin Chen didn’t feel sleepy at all.

As he thought of the series of encounters he had today, Lin Chen felt a subtle mix of emotions.

Unconditional trust and care, is this what it means to have family?

It felt... pretty good.

With mixed feelings, Lin Chen slowly went to sleep.

After a night of sweet dreams, Lin Chen woke up and looked around the unfamiliar room, feeling a bit unsettled.

He checked the time, it was nine-ten in the morning.

Lin Chen got up and finished washing before heading downstairs.

His maternal grandfather, Feng Yuanhua, was watering the garden outside the villa with a hose, while his maternal grandmother, Du Pingyue, was sitting on the sofa, cracking melon seeds and watching TV.

"Good morning, Grandma."

As Du Pingyue saw Lin Chen coming downstairs, she put the melon seedplate aside and stood up, smiling, "In the kitchen, there are steamed buns and porridge waiting for you. I’m not sure if you like it or not."

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "Steamed buns and porridge are great, and if there’s some pickled vegetables, that’s perfect."

"I have pickles!"

Du Pingyue beamed and walked toward the kitchen, her biggest worry being that Lin Chen would feel uncomfortable living here. Now that she saw Lin Chen making requests confidently, she was quite pleased.

Formalities are for guests and strangers; family members should feel free to speak their mind and feel at home, after all.

Lin Chen didn’t sit down and wait, he went to the kitchen and brought back the steamed buns and porridge to the dining table. He ate a mouthful of pickles and porridge, then tucked into the steamed buns.

As they were eating, Feng Yazhen came downstairs.

"Yo, already eating."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yep, I didn’t wait for you."

Feng Yazhen laughed, "I was just thinking about taking you to try the local breakfast here in Xijing. It looks like that’ll have to wait until next time."

Feng Yazhen also got herself some porridge and steamed buns and sat across from Lin Chen, casually asking, "How did you sleep?"

"Very well, why didn’t you sleep more?"

Feng Yazhen laughed, "I was hungry, couldn’t sleep any longer."

After they finished breakfast, Feng Yazhen patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, "You don’t have any plans today, right?"

Lin Chen responded, "Nothing specific, but Feng Hao and Feng Tangtang said they would come to take me out."

Feng Yazhen’s eyes lit up, "Seems like you had fun last night?"

Lin Chen said with a smile, "It was great."

Feng Yazhen chuckled, "So that means you’re free this morning, right? Then why don’t you accompany me to go shopping, you can be my driver and bodyguard, young people shouldn’t stay at home watching TV all day."

Lin Chen agreed with a laugh, his main purpose in coming to Xijing wasn’t urgent anyway.

"Sure!"

As they left the house, Lin Chen took the initiative to be the driver and drove the red sports car, taking Feng Yazhen to the shopping mall.

Feng Yazhen looked at Lin Chen get in the car and start it skillfully, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

It seemed like her nephew was quite familiar with luxury cars.

"Your luggage is still at the hotel, right? Should we go and get it?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I didn’t stay at a hotel. A friend from Linhai found a place for me to stay. I’m a grown man, I don’t have much stuff. No need to get it."

Feng Yazhen laughed, "You have friends in Xijing?"

Lin Chen explained, "They are friends I met in Linhai, they work in real estate and also do business in Xijing. We came to Xijing together."

Feng Yazhen smiled and said, "Oh, since you’re living alone now, why not live at home? When you find a girlfriend and get married, I’ll give you an apartment as a wedding gift, and then you two can have your own space."

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s not necessary..."

Feng Yazhen said naturally, "I’m your aunt. Your mother isn’t here, so of course, it’s my responsibility to take care of you. And remember, I’m your aunt, you don’t need to be polite with me!"

Lin Chen didn’t want to argue over this matter, and since his "marriage" was still a long way off, they would know what kind of person he was by then and there would be no need for such a gift.

"I got it."

They arrived at the mall, parked the car, and Feng Yazhen led Lin Chen inside to browse around.

"How does this one look on me?"

"What about this one?"

"Would this combination be better?"

Feng Yazhen kept trying on clothes, asking for Lin Chen’s opinion.

Feng Yazhen was very beautiful, with a wild and unrestrained allure. She had a tall and slim figure with great curves, and she was a natural clothes hanger, looking good in anything she wore.

Lin Chen provided his sincere advice, and after picking a few outfits, Feng Yazhen laughed, "It’s nice to have a handsome guy companying me while shopping. Now it’s your turn to try on clothes, and I’ll give you my suggestions..."
