Lin Yanchen was very excited to see his father-in-law on the weekend. He was thinking about what gift to give him.
Although he could afford anything, Chuxun's father might not like it. He might even scare him.

Lin Yanchen asked Chuxun, "What does your father like?"
Chuxun reminded him, "Don't give him something too expensive. My father likes to write and draw. Just give him something that's not too expensive.
He values the thought more. "
That was the difficult part. How should one measure the thought?
Lin Yanchen went back to work with a frown.
Moreover, he did not want to be separated from Chuxun forever. Even if he could fly around, he could only see him once a week. It was definitely not enough.
Y City was also a good place. There would be an international event next year.
He went back to study it and came up with a plan to develop in Y City. He would open a branch there. That way, he would have an excuse to stay in Y City.
Chuxun went to work as usual. He was nervous.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with Lin Yanchen. The only thing that could make his father unhappy was that he was too rich.
Although it was realistic, family status and economic power were closely related.
He had heard a senior executive complain to him. That person had been married for more than a year. His wife was his childhood sweetheart. They had a deep relationship. She quit her job to be a housewife for him. When they got married, he vowed that he would take care of her forever. He told Chuxun, "… I think I still love her, but she really can't understand me. I think about how she eats and drinks my food, and how she goes shopping every day. When she comes home, even if she tells me that you've worked hard, I can't help but think that you don't know how hard it is for me.
Sometimes, I really can't help but look down on her. "
Later, he heard that that person had an affair and divorced.
When he loved her, it was true love. However, people's hearts would change.
He had to be prepared for the worst.
However, he and Lin Yanchen were both men. The situation might be different. In any case, he did not want to revolve around Lin Yanchen.
He had once wholeheartedly revolved around one person. What happened to him?
He could not repeat the same mistake.
On Thursday, there was a meeting.
Chuxun sat beside President Liu's assistant. After the meeting ended, Chuxun looked at the time on his phone.
President Liu inadvertently glanced at his phone and saw the screensaver. He was shocked and asked, "Is that your child?"
Chuxun: "Huh?"
Manager Liu said curiously, "Let me see your phone."
Chuxun's screensaver and wallpaper were Bao Bao's photos. Mr. Liu looked at them and asked, "Is your child so good-looking?
Are there any other photos? "
Chuxun … A subtle sense of superiority rose in Chuxun's heart. He didn't like to take photos. Other than the photos for work, he only took photos and videos of Bao Bao.
After President Liu finished reading, he complained, "Xiao Chu, you're so unkind. Why didn't you say that your Bao Bao is so cute in the past?
I don't see you posting on your WeChat Moments. "
Chuxun said modestly, "Actually … when he was born, he was quite ugly. Now he's good-looking."
President Liu said excitedly, "Bring your Bao Bao to my house to play someday. Recently, hairy crabs are in the market. My wife's crabs are very delicious."
Chuxun agreed.
The next day, Chuxun arrived at the company and found that his Bao Bao was very beautiful and cute. The news had already spread.
Everyone came to look at the photos.
Chuxun: I didn't know Master had such a big mouth …
On Saturday.
Mr. Chu woke up early in the morning as if he was preparing for war. He went to the market valiantly to buy groceries. He had already studied today's menu. There were cold dishes, hot dishes, snacks, fruits, and drinks.
He and his wife thought, "This man and man … Does this count as a wife visiting?
Or a son-in-law?
A son-in-law visiting?
Should we give him a red packet?
How much should we give?
I heard that Old Li's wife gave a red packet of 5,000 yuan the first time she visited. "
"I thought about it. Chirp Chirp has taken our family name. He should be considered a wife, right?
Oh, I don't have that much cash. Do you?
Otherwise, I'll have to withdraw money. "
Chuxun saw that he was even carving flowers with radishes. He was speechless. "Dad, you don't have to do this. Just cook a table of food as usual."
Mr. Chu didn't even turn his head. He said stubbornly, "No, I can't lose to him!
I want to show him who's boss! "
Chuxun: "…"
Mr. Chu usually liked to study how to cook. At home, his wife had barely entered the kitchen for decades.
Today, Mr. Chu brought out his best skills. He even made 'Buddha jumps over the wall' and carved a dragon on the outside of the winter melon!
Chuxun was shocked. He really had to hand it to him.
Mr. Chu was ready. He was waiting for Lin Yanchen to visit at five or six o 'clock.
Past two o 'clock in the afternoon.
Chuxun received a call from Lin Yanchen.
Lin Yanchen said with difficulty, "My … my company has made a mistake in the project they're working on. I can't go today."
I'm already at the airport. I'm preparing to fly to Paris. "
Chuxun: "…"
Chuxun comforted him considerately. "It's okay. Work is more important. Let's change the time. You're not free tomorrow … Next weekend?
Forget it. Let's see if you have time.
Let me know when you're free. "
It would be a lie to say that Chuxun didn't mind at all. But what else could he do other than understand?
It wasn't Lin Yanchen who didn't come on purpose. Was he going to be unreasonable?
He couldn't do such a thing.
Also, why did Lin Yanchen call him when he arrived at the airport?
It felt like what was done couldn't be undone. He had no choice but to agree.
Chuxun felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yanchen was sad and guilty. "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
Chuxun said hypocritically, "I know you didn't do it on purpose. It's okay. I understand."
Lin Yanchen said, "I'll see if I can make it back tomorrow …"
Chuxun said, "Don't force yourself. You're tired from flying around. You're not in a hurry.
You're about to board the plane, right?
Be careful on the road.
Don't worry about my parents. I'll explain it to them for you. "
Lin Yanchen asked, "Are you angry with me?
I'm sorry. "
Chuxun said, "I'm not angry with you."
Although he said that, Chuxun told Mr. Chu that his girlfriend didn't show up because of work. Mr. Chu's face darkened.
After all, this was the first time they had agreed to meet. He was nervous for a few days. He woke up early in the morning and cooked a table full of dishes. But suddenly, he was told that she couldn't come?
He couldn't help but doubt this person's sincerity.
Mr. Chu said angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Chuxun said, "He had something to do today. He can't leave the company. Didn't he call us a few hours in advance?"
Mr. Chu was still angry. "When will he change it?
He's the one who came. We have to match his time. "
Chuxun said, "He's busy with work … He hasn't decided yet. I'll let you know when he's decided."
Mr. Chu said, "Don't stand us up again."
Chuxun didn't dare to make any promises. He wasn't sure if Lin Yanchen could be on time even if they changed the time.
Lin Yanchen looked down from the window of the plane. The city was covered in a sea of lights until it was covered by the clouds.
It was pitch-black.
He was very depressed. He hadn't even gone to Chuxun's house and he had already left a bad impression on his father-in-law …
He had to buy a good gift and apologize to her when the time came.
