Evening.

After participating in a celebration banquet at the military camp, Gu Feng returned home only to be treated to another feast by his relatives.

As Lin Yue served a rich table of dishes, she sat beside Gu Feng and whispered teasingly, "Not bad, huh? That uniform looks quite handsome on you."

"My brother has become the Hall Master at his age, truly a pioneer. For a man to achieve this, it’s the epitome of success!"

Ye Shuting was young and spoke freely, making faces at Lin Yue as she joked, "Sister-in-law, shouldn’t you reward my brother tonight as a gesture?"

Lin Yue’s face turned crimson in an instant.

Ye Shuting was right.

Gu Feng, in his early thirties, had indeed set a record as the youngest Hall Master, a supreme achievement among the younger generation in Dragon Nation!

As the atmosphere reached this point, Lin Yue leaned close to Gu Feng and quickly pecked him on the cheek, "A little reward to start with."

The people at the dinner table immediately smiled knowingly.

Gu Dadong brought out some neatly packed wine and tea leaves from his study, placing them on the table and telling Lin Yue, "Dad’s been too busy and hasn’t met your family yet. We’ll have to wait until the wedding celebration to host them properly. Take these back for your relatives."

Lin Yue nodded, accepted the gifts her father-in-law handed her, and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."

After the family had a pleasant dinner, and it was rare that the relatives were also present, and Gu Feng was sporting his new uniform,

Yu Yue suggested that the family take a spontaneous group photo to celebrate Gu Feng’s promotion.

Gu Dadong and Yu Ling stood in the middle, Lin Yue was held by the hand by Gu Feng, standing close to her in-laws, while the rest of the members spread out on either side.

Once this family photo was approved, Lin Yue shared it in the chat groups of her maternal and marital families, showcasing her current status in her in-laws’ home.

Soon, the maternal family’s chat group was flooded with flattery.

Lin Yu: [Damn, big brother-in-law looks so cool!]

Liu Yan: [That uniform suits Feng so well, it fits perfectly, the entire aura is awesome.]

Xu Dong: [Damn, a General rank! Brother-in-law is awesome, have to celebrate when he comes back (sidelong glance)]

Lin Qin: [So cool, brother-in-law!]

Lin Zhenyu: [Little Yue, is that middle person your father-in-law?]

Lin Yue: [Yes.]

Lin Langsheng: [Little Yue, is that Feng’s dad?]

Lin Yue: [Yes.]

Lin Langsheng abruptly sat up straight on the sofa at home.

His son Lin Yu and his wife, who were watching a TV drama, were startled by his sudden movement. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"What’s the matter with you? Do you know Feng’s dad?"

They were also chatting in the group, having seen the photo Lin Yue shared.

Of course, Lin Langsheng recognized Gu Dadong!

He was a well-informed person, subscribing to and following internal news daily.

He definitely recognized a few famous figures from the national server leaderboard.

Jiangcheng is indeed a municipality directly under the central government; having the opportunity to meet these big shots who frequently visit Jiangcheng for inspections, how could you curry favor and maneuver for a position if you weren’t observant?

Although Gu Dadong, as one of the Hall Masters, didn’t appear on television as frequently as the Elders, he was definitely present in the broadcast of every major meeting alongside many other Hall Masters.

Since Gu Dadong was relatively young among the Hall Masters, Lin Langsheng actually remembered this magnate particularly well.

However, he hadn’t expected that he would be Gu Feng’s father!

In that instant, Lin Langsheng suddenly realized, no wonder Gu Feng’s uncle, Gu Yuan, could hold the position of Big Housekeeper in Jiangcheng!

So, the Gu Family’s background was that solid!

"Little Feng’s father is the Sect Leader of the Military!" Lin Langsheng excitedly turned to his son and wife. He felt as if he had found an organization to rely on. Maybe saying this wouldn’t make sense to them, so he straightforwardly exclaimed, "His rank is in the top 24 of the server nationwide!"

His wife, Zhao Yanrong, suddenly widened her eyes, then joyfully said, "Old Lin, you have a great chance!"

"Hahaha." Lin Langsheng laughed heartily, "As long as I don’t make any mistakes, I think I can give it a try!"

Lin Yu was a bit foolishly overjoyed, "Dad, are you going to skyrocket then?"

Lin Langsheng looked at his son Lin Yu and said, "Little Yu, whether I can take a step closer is just a matter of one word from your brother-in-law’s family. So, for the time being, you should try to please your sister and brother-in-law."

Lin Yu nodded vigorously, "Dad, don’t worry, I now have people arranged to clean big sister’s house every day. When brother-in-law returns, I’ll go there and help out as usual."

"No." Lin Langsheng suddenly saw an opportunity, "Little Yu, dad is too old to seize this opportunity. Rarely our Lin family has the chance to soar because of your sister. If we don’t grab it, it would be a total waste!"

Suddenly, Lin Langsheng planned his son’s future, "Like this, you should go take the civil service exam."

"Ah?" Lin Yu hesitated, "I feel I might not even surpass you."

"As long as you keep your sister and brother-in-law happy, surpassing me will be a blink of an eye task. I have at most a few years before I retire, then I’ll probably just go to the city district. If you do well on the exam, I can arrange your early career planning, and later on, you can rely on your brother-in-law!"

By the time Lin Yu graduated, Lin Langsheng’s resources had already begun to decline due to the Lin Corporation’s economic downturn.

Back then, it was indeed too late for Lin Yu to take the civil service exam.

But now, knowing the true strength of Lin Yue’s in-laws, as an ornament, if you are not well-prepared, how can you hope to rise with them?

If you want others to lift you up, you also need to strive to have the strength to appear on the stage for people to notice you!

Not to mention anything else, with the Gu Family’s strength, arranging Lin Yu to the level of Lin Langsheng would really be an eyes-closed operation!

——

At night.

Gu Feng lay on his mat, looking at the ceiling.

Thinking about Lin Yue leaving tomorrow, he didn’t know why, but he felt a bit restless and said with a light cough, "Don’t you think Shuting was right? Don’t you have any other rewards?"

Lin Yue, who was trying to sleep, lifted her long lashes and slightly opened her eyes.

She asked softly, "What reward do you want?"

Gu Feng felt a bit parched in his throat, "Just... the kind of reward a wife gives her husband."

After he spoke, he realized the room had fallen silent.

Gu Feng regretted saying those words that seemed too eager.

Just as he was about to try to cover up by saying something else, Lin Yue said in an especially soft, shy voice, "I... I don’t want to be heavily pregnant on our wedding day, so can I owe you?"

Gu Feng felt reassured, smiling lightly, and closed his eyes, "Yes."
