Chapter 348: This Guy Could Not Be Serious Even For One Second
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Moyan glared at him. This guy could not even be serious for one second.
“Alright. You look really handsome now. If my parents aren’t satisfied with you, then I guess no one else on Earth could satisfy them.” Xu Moyan could not bring herself to say the words ‘son-in-law’.
Wei Zilin chuckled. His chuckle sounded like bells on a summer night, like lake water that was disrupted by a fish’s tail during fall, creating ripple after ripple in her heart.
Xu Moyan felt that Wei Zilin did not need to try too hard to win over her parents. He could make Madam Li fall for him with just his seductive voice.
Madam Li was the head of the family. As long as someone got on her good side, sooner or later, they would get along with Xu Qingrui too.
She suspected that she inherited her mother’s trait of having a voice fetish.
When she came back during Chinese New Year, there was a drama playing on the television in the morning. The plot was mediocre, but the voice-actor for the drama was a very famous voice-actor at the time. He was dubbed the ‘voice-actor idol’.
He would voice-act for almost all of the main characters in every drama, even when he was not voicing the main character, he would be voicing the famous guest appearances. Those actors that he voice-acted for were all idols.
During that period of time, Li Lanying had been consistently praising their voices.
But Xu Moyan felt that it was nothing compared to Wei Zilin’s voice. Fortunately, he was not interested in featuring in dramas, or the other voice actors would be jobless.
It was in this stretch of time that it had been revealed that Li Lanying was also a voice fetishist.
“Alright. Ring the doorbell,” Wei Zilin said after taking a deep breath.
Xu Moyan looked at him with a grin on her face and rang the doorbell.
After a brief moment, the door swung open.
Li Lanying and Xu Qingrui had been waiting by the door. Xu Moyan wondered if they had been waiting at the balcony the whole time and knew that they have arrived.
“Uncle, Aunty,” Wei Zilin greeted at the door.
He was holding his luggage in his left hand and the box in his right. He looked very awkward but in a comedic sense.
There was a hint of solemnness and nervousness in his calm voice. Xu Moyan turned around to look at his handsome face, it was so motionless and tense she could not tell if he was breathing or not.
Xu Qingrui and Li Lanying were both startled by Wei Zilin. They did not expect that Wei Zilin would be above their expectations. His face was handsome. Both of them were currently teaching in a high school, and although the students they taught were all high schoolers, there were still some who were surprisingly quite good looking.
Even the most handsome student at B University could not compare with Wei Zilin.
The students had yet to integrate themselves into society hence they still possessed some remanence of innocence and naivety. A stark contrast from Wei Zilin who had the temperament and experience that one could only attain from being integrated into society for a long time.
Even the most handsome male students could not even compare to Wei Zilin.
Tian Yuwen looked like a child when compared to Wei Zilin. Initially, Li Lanying thought that from his temperament, personality and life goals, that Tian Yuwen was already one of kind, but compared to Wei Zilin, he was still a child.
It was not that Tian Yuwen was not good enough, but Wei Zilin was far too impressive so much so that it overshadowed Tian Yuwen’s achievements.
Perhaps it was Wei Zilin’s age, but his temperament was more mature and collected.
No wonder Xu Moyan did not like Tian Yuwen. It would be hard for her not to fall for Wei Zilin. Plus, she had no need to look at other men seeing as how they were together now.
One would know how much Wei Zilin could love and care for her from his age.
This was the benefit of finding someone who was older. He would likely be more sympathetic, and their partner would feel more loved.
Perhaps it is hard to imagine that one could joke around with someone who is not of the same age, but there is more to life than jokes. Life is about having someone around to look out for you so that they can correct you whenever you make a mistake.
A good partner is like a teacher. Someone who is loved and also respected. Partners like this are hard to come across.
It was a blessing that Xu Moyan could find someone like that.
However, one would be worried if their man was too perfect.
His family and himself were too dashing. He was the kind of man that would have plenty of people chase him, and it would be a blessing to anyone who was able to get him.
Could their daughter keep this kind of man? Would she not feel stressed? Living with him might prove to be a little difficult.
It would be worrying if one’s daughter found someone who was bad, but it was equally worrying if one’s daughter found someone who was excellent.
Li Lanying was struggling with her feelings, but she could not help but feel happy and satisfied with her future son-in-law who was standing right in front of her.
The only thing they could do was to treat Wei Zilin well so that he would treat Xu Moyan even better.
As the saying goes, “A mother-in-law would grow fonder toward the son-in-law as days go by”, it was actually so their son-in-law would treat their daughter better in return.
Xu Qingrui and Li Lanying hurried and welcomed Wei Zilin inside. Xu Qingrui wanted to help him with the box, but Wei Zilin stopped him, “Uncle, let me carry it. The box is heavy.”
Once Wei Zilin opened his mouth, his clear and melodic voice caused Li Lanying to let down her guard.
Madam Li grumbled in her heart. At this age, she was immune to most good-looking men, nevertheless, she fell for his voice too.
This guy had all the good traits. No woman could resist a man like him.
How could he like their daughter?
Perhaps it was her low self-esteem, but Madam Li could not help but think that this was a huge stroke of luck for Xu Moyan. How could she find a boyfriend as perfect as him?
Wei Zilin did not know that his voice had captured the heart of his future mother-in-law, winning her over just like that.
At that moment, Li Lanying noticed that Xu Moyan was empty-handed and scolded her, “How can you not help him with his things? Where are your manners?”
Xu Moyan looked at Li Lanying with her eyes widened in shock. She was stunned by her mother’s sudden change of attitude.
But Xu Moyan did not forget to compliment Wei Zilin. She said, “He didn’t let me. He even helps me carry my handbag when we go out.”
And with that, she actually did not help him with the bags.
Wei Zilin laughed and looked at Xu Moyan happily. It was as if she did the right thing by not helping him.
Li Lanying did not know what to say.
Looking at both of them, it did not look like they were putting on a show. Was this how Wei Zilin pampered her daughter?
He was spoiling her rotten!
Wei Zilin placed the box aside and said, “These are some souvenirs I bought from Li City. I wanted to bring more than this, but I didn’t think that I would be going outstation, so that’s why I bought them in Li City.”
Li Lanying was touched that their son-in-law would think about them even when he was working in another city. It did not matter what he bought, at least he had the thoughtfulness to buy them something and bring it over in a big box even while traveling by plane.
“We understand that you’re working outstation. It’s already inconvenient working in another city. You don’t have to bring us gifts. We’re not strangers.” After saying this, Li Lanying turned to Xu Moyan. “How can you let him bring such a huge gift over? You need to tell Zilin not to buy these.”
Suddenly it was Zilin to them.
Xu Moyan felt a little upset. It seemed like everything was her fault now that Wei Zilin is here.
Xu Moyan sighed and looked at Wei Zilin. Wei Zilin laughed. “She had no idea. She was shocked too when she saw me with a big box at the airport.”
Li Lanying was happy that Wei Zilin defended her daughter like that.
After asking Wei Zilin to sit, Li Lanying placed the fruits she prepared on the table.
Xu Qingrui began brewing some tea with his tea leaves.
It was unavoidable that one would be asked about one’s age, hobbies, work, family and so on when first visiting their partner’s parents.
Wei Zilin answered all of the questions honestly, sparing no details.
At first, they had the impression that Wei Zilin only came from a moderately famous family, though in the end, Wei Zilin could not hide the fact and told them he was from the Eight Dominant Families. Xu Qingrui and Li Lanying were shocked by the news.
Wei Zilin noticed this and said, “I will bring Moyan to visit the elders in my family when we go back. Aunty and uncle, please don’t worry. The elders in the family love the younger generation, they will not make Moyan feel inadequate. My elder-sister-in-law Wei Ran was adopted by my uncle and aunty ever since she was a child, she and my brother were childhood sweethearts, and then they got married. Now they have a son and a daughter. Moyan will not feel lonely in our house since my elder-sister-in-law will be there with her. It will most definitely not be an unfavorable situation for her.”
