Chapter 41 – The Ye Family’s Daughter-in-Law Makes Her Debut!

At six-thirty in the evening, Ye Fei had already been waiting outside the school gate for more than ten minutes.

During that time, he called Zheng Wanqing two or three times.

Her replies were all roughly the same:

“Hubby, wait a bit, I’m almost there.”

Hmm, ‘almost there’ probably means she hasn’t even left the dorm yet.

Another twenty minutes passed, and Zheng Wanqing finally appeared at the school gate.

“Sorry, hubby, I kept you waiting.”

She hooked her arm through Ye Fei’s. “Let’s go, let’s take a cab.”

“But let’s stop by that gift shop up ahead—I want to get something for Uncle and Aunt.”

“It doesn’t feel right to show up empty-handed.”

Ye Fei asked, “That outfit you’re wearing—new?”

Zheng Wanqing replied, “Nope, I bought it last time I went shopping with my roommates.”

“But I haven’t had a chance to wear it until now.”

“Today, since I’m meeting your parents, I figured it was perfect.”

“So, hubby, how do I look in it?”

The outfit she wore was quite different from her usual style.

It gave off a very vibe—fresh and youthful.

Zheng Wanqing normally didn’t wear much makeup, and with this outfit, she looked pure and innocent at a glance.

Parents of our generation would probably like this kind of girl the most.

“Beautiful. My wife looks good in anything.”

“You’re teasing me again.”

“No, I’m complimenting you.”

“Seriously? I don’t believe you.”

They hailed a cab.

Ten minutes later, they stopped outside the gift shop.

Zheng Wanqing picked out two gifts for Ye Fei’s parents—  a simple lady’s necklace, not too expensive, about twenty-five thousand,

and a men’s wristwatch, also modestly priced—around thirty thousand.

Ye Fei commented, “Yeah, not too expensive.”

Zheng Wanqing had plenty of allowance.

Tens of thousands of yuan wasn’t a big deal to her.

Besides, she was meeting Ye Fei’s parents—her future in-laws.

How could she show up without something decent?

Not to mention, she was already Ye Fei’s wife.

“Let’s go, hubby.”

After paying, she and Ye Fei left the shop and got back into the cab.

Once they left, the store clerks whispered among themselves:

“Hey, that girl just now looked really familiar.”

“I think she came with her sister before.”

“Her sister?”

“Yeah, the HR Director of Zheng Corporation—Zheng Wanyu.”

“No way! So that girl’s the second daughter of the Zheng family?”

“Whoa, no wonder she looked so classy.”

“And that guy beside her—probably her boyfriend?”

“So handsome!”

“Stop it, control yourself. You’re practically drooling.”

Ye Fei and Zheng Wanqing arrived at his house and rang the doorbell.

Zheng Wanqing clutched Ye Fei’s arm tightly.

“Hubby, I’m so nervous.”

“What if your parents don’t like me?”

Ye Fei gently patted her shoulder.

“Don’t worry. They will.”

When the door opened, his parents, Wang Mei and Ye Donglai, were dressed immaculately, looking like they were headed to some grand banquet.

Ye Fei asked, “Mom, Dad—why are you wearing your wedding outfits?”

“Of course! This is the first time we’re meeting your girlfriend, Fei. We have to look our best.”

Wang Mei took one look at Zheng Wanqing—and instantly liked her.

Good figure, beautiful, fair skin,

and she clung sweetly to Ye Fei’s arm like a delicate flower.

Despite being a rich girl, she didn’t come off as arrogant at all.

She looked so pure and well-mannered— Wang Mei was instantly sold.

“You must be Wanqing.”

“Come in, come in.”

Zheng Wanqing nodded nervously. “Auntie, these are small gifts I brought for you and Uncle. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course not! We’re thrilled. Why would we mind?”

Ye Fei’s parents didn’t fuss much and set the gifts aside.

Then Wang Mei took her hand and said,

“Wanqing, come in. I made a full table of homecooked dishes.”

“Later, sit next to me so I can get a good look at you.”

Wang Mei’s warm hospitality surprised Zheng Wanqing.

Wow… she doesn’t seem to dislike me at all.

In fact, she might even like me?

Thank goodness.

She’d been worried that her mother-in-law would be hard to please, but that heavy worry finally lifted.

Just as everyone was seated at the table,

Old Comrade Ye suddenly declared:

“Mei, go get my treasured aged wine.”

“Tonight, I want to have a drink with my son.”

“It’s the first time he’s ever brought a girlfriend home.”

Ye Fei was shocked.

Wait—did Dad just give Mom an order?

When did Dad grow a backbone?!

Under the table, Ye Fei gave his father a secret thumbs up.

Respect, Old Ye. Impressive.

Ye Donglai gave him a look in return:

“What are you looking at?”
