My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 268: The days ahead are still long after .

Lin Tang was taken aback, "..."

Come on, can’t you put a little heart into inviting someone to dinner?

She couldn’t help but laugh as she said, "Isn’t this a little too thoughtless?"

"Why don’t you come to my place then? I just happened to have learned some cooking skills, and you can help me taste-test the dishes."

The topic gradually veered off-course.

The newly confirmed couple didn’t speak of romantic clichés, but rather of practical matters like condiments and tea.

Nevertheless, neither of them felt there was anything amiss.

A nearly imperceptible frown creased Gu Yingzhou’s brows.

"You cooking? There’s no need for such trouble, just eating out casually will do."

His significant other was cooking for him for the first time, why add a third wheel to the mix?

The person from the Inspection Team who was oh-so eager to visit their junior brother almost cried out loud.

Such a classic Gu Yingzhou move!

Lin Tang’s beautiful eyes swept over, her voice sweet and soft.

"It’s okay to eat out with people you’re not very familiar with."

"But if it’s your friend, especially one who has helped a lot, it’s not okay to be so perfunctory!"

Especially since the favor was related to her.

Then she should be even more thorough with her gestures of gratitude.

Gu Yingzhou was mesmerized by the young lady’s rippling gaze, as though a feather was brushing against his heart.

By the time he snapped back to reality, he had already nodded.

Lin Tang smiled satisfactorily, her eyes curving beautifully.

"You agreed? Then I’ll leave the arrangements for inviting people to you."

The soft ’la’ at the end of her sentence was so tender and delicate.

It turned his hard heart into a gentle breeze on a summer day.

Gu Yingzhou’s voice was husky, and he slowly began to speak.

"... All right."

As they talked, the two approached the office building where Lin Tang worked.

"For the first time, I feel like this walk was too short," Lin Tang said softly, her beautiful smiling eyes fixed on Gu Yingzhou.

She always preferred to speak her mind rather than hide her thoughts.

However, the young lady’s candid reluctance caused Gu Yingzhou’s recently normalized ears to start burning again.

His heart pounded chaotically.

His heartbeat was irregular.

Recalling his previous visit to the hospital for an ECG, he remembered being mocked by the doctor after explaining his situation, and the heat crept from his ears down to his neck.

Having made a fool of himself once, Gu Yingzhou no longer considered this reaction a physical problem.

It was clear he had long harbored some less than pure thoughts.

He had been bewitched by the young lady in front of him, who might seem like a harmless little bunny on the surface but was actually a crafty little fox.

"There will be plenty of time in the future," Gu Yingzhou’s deep eyes gleamed with a smile.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a young man came running over from the gate.

He stopped in front of the newly formed couple.

The young man first glanced at Gu Yingzhou, trying to gauge his relationship with Secretary Lin.

His gaze carried a nearly indiscernible probing essence.

With Secretary Lin being attractive and competent at work, all the fellows at the factory had an eye on her.

They couldn’t let someone from the outside scoop her up!

The young man’s vigilant expression did not escape Gu Yingzhou’s notice.

Without much thought, Gu Yingzhou knew what was on the man’s mind.

A shadow passed through his eyes, and the smile on his lips faded.

Quickly, the young man shifted his gaze.

Turning to Lin Tang, he said urgently, "Secretary Lin, your family is looking for you, they’re all at the gate."

By the looks of it, they had been waiting for quite some time.

About a dozen people.

It had to be said, Secretary Lin’s family was really large!

Upon hearing this, Lin Tang paused for a moment.

"I got it, thank you."

After expressing her thanks, she and Gu Yingzhou hurried towards the gate.

The young man watched as two figures, one tall and one petite, gradually moved away, feeling quite mixed inside.

Somehow, he felt that the best catch of their factory had been taken by someone else.

Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou walked to the doorway. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Outside, the Lin Family members stood thick as bees, none of them uttering a word.

The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

With her 5.3 excellent vision, Lin Tang could tell that the expressions on her parents’ faces were off.

She hurriedly trotted over and asked, "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt... why have you all come?"

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli looked at her, choking up as if they were blocked, unable to utter a single word.

Lin Fu looked at Lin Tang with aching affection and ruffled the little girl’s head.

"Your parents saw the newspaper."

The younger couple loved Tangtang so dearly, they were at a loss for words as well.

Lin Tang was taken aback, stepped forward to link arms with Li Xiuli, her face adorned with a smile.

"It’s all in the past, I’m doing quite well now, aren’t I? Whether I go to college or not, it’s all the same..."

She didn’t finish her sentence before Lin Lu interrupted her.

The typically kindhearted man’s face darkened terribly.

His hatred for the person behind this was fierce.

"How can it be the same? Your mother and I would rather see you go to college than to have you working at such a young age."

If it were the same, why would everyone be so eager to go to college?!

Tangtang is just too considerate, only ever sharing good news and swallowing the hardships herself.

It was also his fault as a father for not being capable. If he had been, who would dare bully his daughter?

The thought made Lin Lu’s heart feel as if it were splitting in two.

A surge of blood welled up in his chest.

Seeing her family’s bloodshot eyes, covered with a layer of darkness underneath, Lin Tang knew they were truly hurt.

She pursed her lips and pulled out a few chocolates from her pocket.

Unwrapping them, she offered one to each of her family members.

One piece for each person.

"Have some candy first," Lin Tang said.

This was her way of comforting her family, a bit of sweetness to ease the unhappiness.

Zhou Mei had been feeling somewhat suffocated by the silence.

Hearing Lin Tang’s words, she picked up a chocolate and put it in Li Xiuli’s mouth, then took one for herself.

While eating, she said,

"We should listen to Tangtang; whatever she says we should do, we’ll do!"

Out of such a large family, who could compare with the cleverness of their niece?

If Tangtang couldn’t find a way, their efforts would be in vain.

Li Xiuli was given a piece of chocolate so dark it hardly looked like candy.

It was slightly bitter at first, but a sweet taste emerged after a while.

Once she bit into it, the intense flavor of liqueur exploded in her mouth.

All her thoughts were consumed by the complex taste.

"What is this? Why is it both bitter and sweet, and with an alcohol flavor?" Zhou Mei savored the taste at the corner of her mouth, not letting any of it escape.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, "...Could it be that our niece is trying to tell us that life is bitter before it’s sweet?"

After saying this, she looked smug, thinking to herself how clever she was.

The others instinctively looked at Lin Tang.

Is that what it meant?

Lin Tang hadn’t really thought that.

She simply chose chocolate because the family had tasted all the other candies, which weren’t exciting anymore and not much of a distraction.

Chocolate, with its dark appearance and not purely sweet taste, was just perfect for the occasion.

Hearing her sister-in-law interpret it that way, she of course nodded.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I meant, bitter first and then sweet!"

Seeing how hard Tangtang was trying to comfort them, Lin Lu and the others felt an even stronger sting in their eyes.

Li Xiuli hugged Lin Tang with heart-wrenching affection, suppressing the tumultuous anger inside her, and said lovingly, "Tangtang, about what’s written in the newspaper, what do you plan to do?"

The moment she asked, everyone’s gaze fell on her.

They waited for her answer.

Their fierce determination was such that it seemed as though if Lin Tang asked them to commit murder or arson, they wouldn’t hesitate.

The Lin Family was nearly bursting with anger.

It hadn’t been easy for them to raise a college student!

When Tangtang was in high school, the whole village struggled immensely, to the point where they barely had enough food.
