Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 – The Lian family Knows

“Lian Xufeng, are you…”

Before Chen Xun could finish his curse, Uncle Zhong in front of him slowly turned around.

He glanced at Chen Xun calmly, without moving, and said slowly: “Madam and Master are inside.”

Chen Xun took a step back, walked to Zhong Bo’s side, lowered his eyes, and bowed his head to signal Lian Xufeng to go first.

Naturally, he would not tell Mo Qiao and Lian Yan about the pregnancy.

If those two knew, the sky would fall.

Lian Xufeng stepped forward, and when he passed by Chen Xun, he gently squeezed Chen Xun’s palm, and before Chen Xun could react, he quickly ran inside, “Dad! Mom!”

Chen Xun was speechless by his actions and looked up carefully to observe his father’s expression.

Zhong Bo had a cold face and met Chen Xun’s cautious gaze.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk in the evening.”

“Yeah.” Chen Xun followed Zhong Bo into the hall.

Lian Xufeng’s parents were sitting on the sofa, the two of them huddled together to look at a thick “photo album”. Lian Xuyu was hugging her mother’s arm, but was gently pushed away by Lian Yan without leaving a trace.

Lian Xufeng, who came in earlier, sat on the single sofa and looked at his phone, ignoring his parents’ sweet display of affection.

“I think it’s great, with sunshine, waves, golden beaches, and it will bring good luck to us, so why not just book it.”

Mo Qiao was fascinated by the scenery in the booklet. Just as she was about to make a decision, she saw Chen Xun coming in from the door.

“Xunxun is here! Come and sit down!”

Mo Qiao patted the seat next to her and asked Chen Xun to sit down.

Lian Xuyu naturally made way for Chen Xun. Just when she was about to lean on Chen Xun and call out “Brother Xun”, Lian Xufeng, who had stood up at some point, grabbed her collar and lifted her up.

“What are you doing?” Lian Xuyu was so angry that she shook off her brother’s hand.

Lian Xufeng crossed his arms over his chest and pouted in a serious tone, “Don’t push Chen Xun away, go sit next to me.”

After saying that, he sat down next to Chen Xun, like a huge, motionless statue.

Lian Xuyu was so angry that she lay down on the massage chair to suppress her anger.

Mo Qiao didn’t really care about the fight between the two siblings. After all, they had been quarreling for so many years that she was used to it.

She hooked her arm around Chen Xun, pointed at the beach photo on her knees and asked, “Xunxun, what do you think of this place?”

Chen Xun glanced at it lightly, “The scenery is beautiful, are you and your husband going on a trip?”

Mo Qiao and Lian Yan are now middle-aged, but their feelings were still strong. They would go out traveling from time to time to enjoy their “world of two”. Lian Xuyu was conceived when they went out for fun one year.

“No~” Mo Qiao stood up and fell into her husband’s warm arms, “You are all grown up now, so I thought about buying an island for you to get married and spend your honeymoon.”

This island is the uninhabited island where Mo Qiao and Lian Yan conceived Lian Xuyu. It is located in Southeast Asia.

The owner of the island was in an economic crisis recently and had to sell the island for money. After going around in circles, the news of the sale reached Mo Qiao’s ears.

She was very pleased with the island and discussed with Lian Yan about buying it.

The young couple would spend a month on this island, and when they returned they would definitely have a precious grandson with them!

Chen Xun subconsciously turned his head to look at Lian Xufeng, who shook his head secretly, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

“Mom, you always do what you want.” Lian Xufeng took the island’s assessment report from Mo Qiao. “This place has beautiful scenery, but it doesn’t have much investment potential.”

Mo Qiao rolled her eyes and pointed her index finger at her husband’s forehead speechlessly, “It’s all your fault for inheriting the mercenary instinct.”

Lian Yan smiled and shrugged, hugging his wife tightly, “Okay, okay, it’s all my fault.”

“Son, our family is already rich enough.” Mo Qiao said righteously, “Can’t you pursue a little romance? Romance, do you know how to write the word romance?”

Lian Xufeng was speechless after hearing what his mother said.

Lian Xuyu climbed up from the massage chair, not knowing whether she laughed out loud because of the massage or because of her mother’s amusement, “Mom, please don’t say that. My brother is a blockhead and lacks romance.”

Chen Xun covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes full of smiles.

Lian Xufeng pulled Chen Xun over, gently pressed his head and whispered, “Okay, you laugh at me too.”

“I dare not laugh at you, young master.” Chen Xun waved his hand and stood up. “Madam, Master, since we mentioned the island, why don’t we have Southeast Asian food tonight to suit the occasion? I’ll go to the kitchen and tell them and help out.”

“I haven’t eaten Southeast Asian food for a long time. Xunxun is really my little angel.” Mo Qiao clapped her hands happily and hurriedly reminded, “But you are not allowed to cook. Don’t tire yourself out.”

“Got it, thank you ma’am.” Chen Xun left with a smile.

Zhong Bo was worried about him being alone, so he followed him.

Lian Xufeng looked left and right, then stood up and said, “I’ll go help too.”

After saying that, he ran off to chase Chen Xun.

“How can you help? Don’t cause trouble for Xunxun.” Mo Qiao was puzzled, but Lian Xufeng had already run away and disappeared, so there was no way he could hear what she said.

•=|=•

“Xunxun!”

Several people walked to the kitchen. Lian Xufeng took a big step over Zhong Bo and grabbed Chen Xun’s hand, “I’ll help you.”

“Let go!” Chen Xun took a step back in embarrassment and whispered, “My dad is still here…”

Lian Xufeng laughed awkwardly and turned to look at Zhong Bo.

The expression on Uncle Zhong’s face remained calm, and his tone was very calm, “The cook hasn’t come back from buying groceries yet, so there won’t be anyone.”

“That’s good.” Lian Xufeng smiled and helped Chen Xun open the refrigerator and get some food for him.

Chen Xun took out the necessary dishes in an uncomfortable manner, and couldn’t help but look back at his adoptive father.

His father said nothing, and Chen Xun became even more panicked.

He would rather his father beat and scold him than be like this, with them just staring at each other in silence.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhong seemed to notice Chen Xun’s mood and handed the apron to Chen Xun. While watching Lian Xufeng help Chen Xun tie the apron, he asked, “Have you decided what to do with the baby in your belly?”

Chen Xun was stunned.

He lowered his head, touched his slightly bulging belly, and pursed his lips.

The “prophecy” of two lives lost with one corpse.

He couldn’t tell anyone.

“Uncle Zhong, just leave Chen Xun to me.” Lian Xufeng stepped forward firmly and vowed, “We will get married and give the child a warm home.”

Chen Xun pulled Lian Xufeng’s sleeve and said, “I haven’t promised you yet!”

“You have no reason not to agree to my request.” Lian Xufeng moved closer to Chen Xun and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Xun Xun, Uncle Zhong is so old that he can’t stand being startled.”

Chen Xun looked at his father through the gap in Lian Xufeng’s neck.

Although his elderly father had a straight back and clear eyes, he had silver hair and many more wrinkles on his face than before.

Chen Xun hesitated.

He didn’t want his father to continue worrying about him, but he didn’t want his loved ones to see him die.

The Omega’s hands began to tremble for unknown reasons.

Lian Xufeng held Chen Xun’s hands tightly, and the hot temperature gave Chen Xun strength.

Zhong Bo stared at their interaction intently and turned away uncomfortably.

“Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say.” Uncle Zhong lowered his eyes and forced himself into the busy preparation of food. “Master, you are the young master of the Lian family. As a servant, I shouldn’t say these words to you.”

“But over the years, I have also treated Chen Xun as my own son.”

“Dad…” Chen Xun walked to Zhongbo and looked at him worriedly.

Uncle Zhong deliberately avoided looking at Chen Xun’s eyes. Instead, he turned to Lian Xufeng and said, “You are the young master of the Lian family. You have everything since you were born.”

“But Chen Xun is different. He can’t afford to lose… If you get tired of him in the future, please return this child to me.”

Lian Xufeng bowed solemnly, “Uncle Zhong, I, Lian Xufeng, swear that I will treat Chen Xun and the child well for the rest of my life.”

He raised three fingers and said firmly, “If I break my oath, God will punish me–”

“Don’t say that!” Chen Xun ran over to interrupt Lian Xufeng’s words, “Don’t say anything unlucky.”

Lian Xufeng’s mouth was blocked by Chen Xun’s hand, but he still firmly squeezed out the words “God, be struck by lightning” from his throat.

“Bang!”

Chen Xun was so scared that he looked towards the door, and Lian Xufeng took the opportunity to put his arms around the Omega’s slender waist.

The kitchen door was flung open and the heavy booklet fell to the floor, revealing the page about the Southeast Asian island.

The Lian couple, who were just in the hall, were now standing at the door with sullen faces.

“Lian Xufeng, you are very brave!”

•=|=•

“I forced Chen Xun to do this. It has nothing to do with him.”

“How dare you say that! You! Me! How could I have given birth to such a son!”

In the hall, Lian Xufeng and Zhong Bo were kneeling on the ground, while Chen Xun was pressed firmly on the sofa by Mo Qiao.

“Qiao Qiao, don’t be angry.” Lian Yan turned back to comfort his wife, and then suppressed his anger, “Uncle Zhong, you get up first. This matter is because we didn’t teach our son well and hurt Chen Xun. I will make him give you an explanation!”

“Madam, it’s not A’Feng’s fault, it’s me…” In the chaotic situation, Chen Xun could only explain loudly to Mo Qiao, “I did it all by myself.”

“Xunxun, don’t speak for him. How can you get pregnant by yourself?”

Mo Qiao, who was always smiling, turned cold. Her eyes fell on Chen Xun’s belly. She closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She asked Lian Xufeng in a frustrated tone, “Lian Xufeng, kneel down!”

Lian Xufeng straightened up and said, “I will be responsible for Chen Xun.”

“Responsible?” As the calmest person present, Lian Yan couldn’t help shaking his head, “A’Feng, tell me, what is the degree of compatibility between you and Chen Xun?”

Lian Xufeng seemed to have a switch pressed, he clenched his teeth and kept silent.

Mo Qiao tilted her head and cried quietly. Chen Xun held the tissue box and helped Mo Qiao wipe her tears. He apologized distressingly: “Ma’am, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t say sorry, it’s our Lian family who is sorry for you.” Mo Qiao hugged Chen Xun, and her tears fell on Chen Xun’s thin shirt.

“With such a low match, Chen Xun is in danger of death if he gets pregnant with your child!” Lian Yan pointed at Chen Xun, his eyes blazing with anger, “You like him, is that how much you like him?!”

Lian Xufeng stared at Chen Xun who was sitting on the sofa.

Chen Xun also poked his head out from Mo Qiao’s arms and looked at Lian Xufeng.

Their eyes met.

They each saw their own reflection in each other’s eyes.

Lian Yan’s slap was about to fall.

Chen Xun couldn’t bear to watch Lian Xufeng being beaten, so he broke away from Mo Qiao’s embrace, rushed to Lian Xufeng and knelt down suddenly.

“Master! Don’t hit him!”

Chen Xun tightly grasped Lian Xufeng’s hand and reflexively closed his eyes to meet Lian Yan’s angry slap.

But why would Lian Yan attack Chen Xun? He could only stop immediately and gently persuade Chen Xun, “Chen Xun, get up quickly, the ground is too cold.”

“I won’t.” Chen Xun and Lian Xufeng hugged each other, “Not unless the master and his wife forgive the young master.”

Lian Xuyu stared at everything in front of her in amazement.

How come her brother and Xun Ge are together? And he’s even pregnant?

Mo Qiao was so anxious that she wanted to pull Chen Xun up, “Silly child, you are pregnant, you shouldn’t kneel, get up quickly.”

Chen Xun refused, so Lian Xufeng held him and made Chen Xun kneel on him to avoid direct contact with the cold tiles.

“Alright, alright!” Mo Qiao wanted to cry but had no tears. “I promise you, I won’t touch this stupid son of mine at all. Can you please get up?”

Lian Yan had no choice but to admit defeat to the stubborn Chen Xun, “Okay, both of you get up.”

Lian Xufeng picked up Chen Xun and carefully placed him on the sofa.

He lifted the hair on Chen Xun’s forehead and kissed the tears in the corners of Chen Xun’s eyes, “It’s okay, you believe me.”

They snuggled together unconsciously.

Mo Qiao was so moved that she snuggled into her husband’s arms.

“Since you insist on being together, we, as elders, are not stubborn people.”

After calming down, Lian Yan coughed and said to Lian Xufeng, “Start preparing for the wedding now. Ask Lan Ting to make all the preparations for prenatal checkups and delivery, and find the best obstetricians at home and abroad…”

“I’ve found them all.”

Lian Xufeng held Chen Xun’s hand tightly, and the two smiled at each other.

“I’m just waiting for Xunxun to agree to get the marriage certificate with me.”

Chen Xun was stunned. He just instinctively didn’t want Lian Xufeng to be beaten or scolded, but how did things turn out like this?

Chen Xun took a deep breath and shrugged helplessly, “It’s already like this, can I still refuse you?”
