My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 148 - 147 Son-in-law Visits

"You don't dare to go home?" Gao Fei looked puzzled for a moment, "Why are you afraid to go home?"

"Because my dad and my mom are forcing me to go on arranged dates," Liu Mengyao said anxiously. "Because of this, I've argued with them several times... I'm really so frustrated, totally fed up... I don't want to get married right now."

"I get it now," Gao Fei finally understood. "To put your parents' minds at ease and stop them from pushing you into arranged dates, you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Liu Mengyao nodded eagerly. "Gao Fei, please, you have to help me."

"Why do you want to choose me? You must know plenty of guys, right?"

"I only trust you!"

"Have you thought about it? Once our relationship is exposed, how will your parents feel?"

"I can't worry about that now. I just want to get through this immediate hurdle, as for what happens later... I'll deal with that when it comes."

…

Gao Fei felt somewhat troubled inside. Being asked to pretend to be a boyfriend was really putting him on the spot. Liu Mengyao had helped him out a lot, and she was his good friend too. If he refused... Liu Mengyao would definitely be upset, and it could even affect their friendship.

What should he do?

Should he really agree?

But... I've never pretended to be someone's boyfriend before. What if I mess it up?

"Gao Fei, if it's too difficult for you, forget it... I'll think of another way. If worse comes to worst, I just won't ever go home," Liu Mengyao said, puffing with rage. "I absolutely won't compromise! I decide my own life!"

"Okay! I agree!" Gao Fei nodded.

"Ah!" Liu Mengyao's face lit up with joy. "You really agree?"

"Yes, I agree! You're my good friend, and now that you're in trouble, it's only right that I should help you," Gao Fei smiled. "But I have one condition."

"Say it, as long as it's something I can do, I'll agree," Liu Mengyao nodded hurriedly.

"I can pretend to be your boyfriend, but you can't interfere with my private life."

"Of course! Rest assured, I'm not a nosy woman."

"That's good, from now on, I'm your boyfriend," Gao Fei said, pausing slightly, "A pretend boyfriend."

"Let's go," Liu Mengyao pushed back her chair and stood up.

"Where to?" Gao Fei asked, puzzled.

"To my place," Liu Mengyao said with a smile. "Once they know I have a boyfriend, they won't force me to go on arranged dates anymore."

Gao Fei was first taken aback, then he twitched the corner of his mouth forcefully, "Isn't this a bit too soon..."

"Can't delay things like this, we need to resolve it as quickly as possible," Liu Mengyao came over and dragged Gao Fei out of the restaurant.

…

An hour later.

Gao Fei arrived at Liu Mengyao's home, his hands carrying some gifts he had bought on the way; it was his first visit, and he couldn't show up empty-handed, of course.

"Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend! Gao Fei!" Liu Mengyao introduced Gao Fei with emphasis.

"Hello Uncle, hello Auntie," Gao Fei greeted them politely.

Liu Mengyao's parents were stunned? They were confounded by the scene before them.

Liu Mengyao's father, Liu Haishan, and mother, Xiao Yun, both worked in government institutions, and were both leaders.

"Mom, Dad, what are you daydreaming about?" Seeing her parents standing there dumbfounded and silent, Liu Mengyao couldn't help but say something.

"Um, oh! Welcome, welcome!" Liu Haishan was the first to snap back to reality, greeting Gao Fei with overflowing warmth, "Come, sit, let's talk sitting down. Xiao Yun, go make a cup of tea for Gao... Gao Fei."

"All right," Xiao Yun replied and headed towards the water dispenser.

Gao Fei set down the gifts and sat on the sofa with proper posture, his back ramrod straight. It was his first time in such a situation, and even though it was a pretense, he still felt somewhat nervous.

"Here, have some tea," Xiao Yun placed a steaming cup of tea in front of Gao Fei.

"Thank you, Auntie," Gao Fei said in thanks.

"No need to be polite," Xiao Yun appraised Gao Fei from top to bottom, her satisfaction growing as she looked. Hmm, this boy seemed quite nice, looked lively, and had a good presence. He matched well with Mengyao.

"Come on, you two women don't just stand there, sit down too," Liu Haishan waved to Xiao Yun and Liu Mengyao, "Sit, let's talk."

Xiao Yun pulled Liu Mengyao down onto the sofa.

"Gao Fei..." Liu Haishan smiled warmly at Gao Fei, "You don't mind me calling you that, do you?"

"Not at all." Gao Fei nodded quickly, "Uncle, you can call me whatever you like."

"Gao Fei, how long have you and Mengyao been dating?" Liu Haishan asked.

"Well..." Gao Fei turned to look at Liu Mengyao, "We've known each other for a long time, but we only recently made our relationship official."

"Oh, I see," Liu Haishan nodded, "Gao Fei, where are you from? What do you do for a living now? What's your family like?" This was a necessary procedure. A new son-in-law had to face interrogation from his future parents-in-law, and this was the time to test the new son-in-law's intelligence. The smart ones would be smooth talkers, doing their best to please the parents-in-law.

The not-so-smart ones would be all over the place, never knowing what might displease the parents-in-law.

Was Gao Fei intelligent? Definitely! So, in responding to Liu Haishan's questions, he appeared quite at ease.

"My hometown is in Beihe Province. I've been out making my way in the world for many years. I started in Bright Pearl City and later moved to Southern City to strive for success. Now, I have started a company, and the business is quite passable. As for my family... my parents are alive; they are genuine farmers..."

"You started your own company?" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, "What kind of company?" No sooner had her husband finished talking than his wife jumped in, ready to take her turn questioning Gao Fei.

"It's a company that deals with jade, antiques, and medicines..."

"Jade? Antiques? Medicines? These three are quite expensive to deal with, and one can't succeed without substantial financial strength."

"Auntie is right, I did indeed invest a considerable amount of money when I started the company."

"How are the sales? Have you started making a profit?"

"It's not bad, we started turning a profit a while ago."

"Young man, you need to be down-to-earth. Don't aim too high, take things step by step. Only if the foundation is solid can you deal with all kinds of trouble," Xiao Yun prattled on and on.

...

"Mom!" Liu Mengyao couldn't bear to watch anymore, "Gao Fei is amazing! Do you know how much money he has now? He has at least several tens of billions, and his company employs thousands of people. He bought a 33-story building in the city center to serve as the company's headquarters... Oh, and the Hundred Diseases Cure Pill that was recently launched is developed by his company..."

"What? Gao Fei's worth tens of billions?"

"The Hundred Diseases Cure Pill was developed by Gao Fei?"

Xiao Yun and Liu Haishan were stunned, looking at Gao Fei with surprise and amazement. At a rough estimate, Gao Fei was only in his twenties, yet he had already become a billionaire. This... this was just too incredible.

Moreover, Gao Fei had mentioned earlier that his parents were farmers and that he had been out striving for success for a long time, making it on his own from scratch. Truly remarkable!

"Gao Fei, is everything Mengyao said true?" Xiao Yun, though she knew her daughter wouldn't lie, couldn't help but ask, as the news had shocked her immensely.

"Yes, Mengyao got it right, I did develop the Hundred Diseases Cure Pill," Gao Fei said with a smile, "I come from a farming family and understand the life of the grassroots well. Life is really hard for them; sometimes, they grit their teeth and bear with illness, only going to the hospital reluctantly when they can't stand it anymore... After all, they're reluctant to spend money...

The Hundred Diseases Cure Pill is priced low, so the grassroots can definitely afford it. Not to brag, but the Hundred Diseases Cure Pill really can cure a hundred diseases..."

"Well said." Liu Haishan nodded in agreement, "To be so considerate at such a young age is truly rare. Being a good person and doing good deeds, that's what a real man does!"

...

It was clear that Liu Haishan and Xiao Yun were very satisfied with Gao Fei and had accepted him from the bottom of their hearts.

After much persuasion from Xiao Yun, Gao Fei stayed for dinner. The meal was lavish, with wine, meat, fish, and shrimp. The four of them sat together, chatting and laughing, creating a very warm atmosphere.

After dinner, Gao Fei left, with Liu Mengyao personally seeing him off downstairs.

The moon was peculiarly round tonight, casting a hazy glow, making it look so beautiful.

"Did I do all right today?" Gao Fei asked.

"Very well!" Liu Mengyao laughed, "Even better than I expected! You can tell, my parents truly like you."

"What's next? We can't keep hiding this, can we?"

"Let's take it one step at a time."

"Alright, you should head back. I'll be leaving. Call me if there's anything." Gao Fei stopped a taxi and left. His newly-bought Mercedes was tampered with by Lu Sanyang, so he had to take a taxi for now. He had already planned to buy a new car tomorrow.

Standing under the streetlight, Liu Mengyao gazed in the direction where Gao Fei had gone and zoned out. It was quite some time before she snapped out of it, then turned and headed back to her residential area.

...

Liu Mengyao was sitting in the middle, with her parents on either side.

"Gao Fei is a pretty good young man," Liu Haishan commented.

"Indeed, he is," Xiao Yun nodded, "He'd make a suitable son-in-law! Capable, polite, and caring, Mengyao will definitely not be at a disadvantage with him." At this point, Xiao Yun turned to look at Liu Mengyao, who was silent, and said with a smile, "When are you planning to marry Gao Fei?"

"There's no rush," Liu Mengyao shook her head, "Let's wait a little longer."

"How long do you want to wait?" Xiao Yun frowned, "Mengyao, you're not young anymore. It's time to get married. I'm telling you, it's not good for a woman to have children after turning thirty..."

"Your mother's right," Liu Haishan agreed. "Gao Fei is really a good catch; you mustn't let him go, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
