Marriage First, True Love Later - Chapter 196
196 The two families meet
As the two families were officially meeting for dinner that night, Zhou han got off work early in the afternoon and was prepared to pick up Lin Li, father Lin, and mother Lin to go to the hotel together. As for the hotel, mother Zhou called early in the morning yesterday to tell them that it had been booked, so they could just go there directly.
Zhou han had called Lin Li in the afternoon to inform her of the time and place for dinner in the evening, so when he drove back from the company, father Lin and mother Lin were already ready and could go out at any time.
Zhou han asked father Lin and mother Lin to sit in the living room for a while, while he placed his briefcase in the study and prepared to go back to his room to change before going out.

From the cloakroom, he took out the clothes that he had already matched and placed them on the bed. Zhou han took off his suit jacket and prepared to change his clothes. However, just as he reached out to unbutton his shirt collar, the door of the room was opened from the outside.
Lin Li, who was at the door, glanced at the living room. After making sure that her parents weren’t looking in her direction, she sneaked in and locked the door. When she turned around, she happened to meet Zhou Han’s eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Zhou han looked at her amusedly. After getting along with her for the past two days, he actually realized that this woman had such an interesting and childish side to her. He thought that she was just a person who pretended to be strong and suppressed her emotions. It turned out that she could be silly sometimes, and when she was silly, she was especially interesting and cute.
Lin Li glared at him and walked over. Before he could speak, she directly asked, ” “What did you say to my mom this morning?”
Zhou han raised his brows, then he seemed to have thought of something and nodded his head in understanding. He said indifferently, ” “Oh, so you know.” His tone was so light that it was as if he wasn’t talking about himself. After he finished speaking, he turned around and let her continue to unbutton his shirt.
Lin Li glared at him and said in dissatisfaction, ” why are you talking nonsense to my mother? don’t you think things are messy enough? ” She felt that she had been tricked by him and was restricted in every way. This act for her parents should have developed according to her wishes, but now, she could only passively follow in his footsteps. Moreover, she never knew when he would suddenly add scenes or change scenes. She was not a professional actress, so where did she get the ability to adapt to the situation?
Zhou Han’s back was facing her and he didn’t turn around. He only said, ” “It was your mother who asked me, that’s why I answered like that.” As he spoke, his hands didn’t stop moving.
“Then why did you say that I didn’t want to be disturbed by you and insisted on staying in separate rooms?” He put it this way and pushed all the blame to her, making it easy for him.
Zhou han turned his head and saw that the buttons of his shirt were all unbuttoned. He took off his shirt and threw it on the bed, revealing his well-maintained figure. Zhou Han’s figure was very good. He was not fat but strong. His bronze skin was very tight, and even his ABS could be seen clearly on his lower abdomen. He was so sexy that he was just like the ones you would see in the gym.
While Lin Li was still dazed by his figure, Zhou han was already approaching her. He stared at her and asked, ” “Then what should I say? Should I tell them the truth that we’re just a fake couple and that we’re just acting to put their minds at ease?”
Lin Li swallowed her saliva, and her reaction became a little slow. She instinctively said, ” “Of, of course not …”
Zhou han laughed and looked down at his own body. A hint of slyness flashed in his eyes. When he looked up again, it was still the same deep gaze. He took another step closer to her and asked, ” “Or do you actually not mind sharing a room with us?”
As he approached, Lin Li retreated. She didn’t have time to think about what he had just said. In the end, she was forced to retreat to a dead end. She looked up at him and swallowed her saliva. What did you just say?”
Zhou han reached out and pressed against the wall, trapping her between the wall and himself. With a slightly evil smile on his lips, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, ” “I said you want to sleep with me.”
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, as if she was thinking about what he had just said. After a while, she finally reacted, blushed, and widened her eyes as she said loudly, ” “How is that possible?”
Zhou han laughed and teased her on purpose.”You really don’t?” As he said that, he deliberately leaned closer to her.
This time, Lin Li wasn’t tempted by his ‘beauty’. She pushed him away and said righteously, ” of course not! I’m not crazy!
Zhou han was pushed away by her and took a few steps back. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders.”That’s a pity,”
Lin Li’s face was still a little red, and she averted her eyes from him. She said a little shyly, ” “You, why are you taking off your clothes!”
Zhou han turned around and directly took the shirt that he took out from the closet and changed into it. As he buttoned it, he said, ” “I’m changing my clothes.” Naturally, they did not feel embarrassed at all.
Lin Li didn’t say anything else. She stood there and thought that she would warn him not to talk nonsense in front of her parents after he changed his clothes.
When Zhou han turned around after putting on his shirt, he saw her staring at the television hanging on the wall. Her ears were red from embarrassment.
The corners of his mouth curled up as he reminded her kindly, ” “Aren’t you going out? I’m going to change my pants.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Li didn’t even turn her head and immediately rushed out of the room. She closed the door with a bang. Her actions were Swift and agile.
In the room, Zhou han looked at the closed door for a while and shook his head with a smile.
Lin Li’s face was still burning hot when she came out. Mother Lin couldn’t help but ask worriedly, ” “Xiaoli, why is your face so red? Are you not feeling well?”
Lin Li quickly shook her head and said with a dry smile, ” no, no… I’m a little hot, just a little hot. As he said that, he used his hand like a fan and fanned with all his might.
The place where the two families met for dinner at night was booked by mother Zhou. It was booked at a five-star hotel and had a private room. She had specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes according to the taste of Lin Li’s hometown.
For the sake of tonight’s dinner, mother Zhou specially went to the hair salon in the afternoon to get her hair done. She reminded father Zhou no less than three times a day to free up his time at night and not go to socialize again.
When Zhou han drove Lin Li and the others over, mother Zhou and father Zhou had already arrived with their little friend Zhou Jiabin.
As the hotel manager smiled and told Zhou han to bring them to the VIP room, mother Lin, who was following behind, pulled on the corner of father Lin’s shirt and whispered in father Lin’s ear, ” “Why do I feel that the Zhou family is not an ordinary family?”
Father Lin didn’t look at her. He only nodded and replied softly, ” no matter how special they are, we’ll only be in-laws in the future.
Mother Lin didn’t say anything else. She understood what her husband meant. It didn’t matter to them what kind of family the Zhou family was. They just wanted to marry their daughter over as long as they treated Lin Li well.
The hotel manager opened the door personally and said to Zhou han with a smile, ” director Zhou, elder Zhou and the others are already inside. I’ll arrange for the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Zhou han nodded at him and said,”sorry for the trouble.” &Nbsp
The hotel manager nodded with a smile. of course, of course. Enjoy your meal. He then turned around and left.
Zhou han turned sideways and said to father Lin and mother Lin, ” “Mom, dad, let’s go in.”
Father Lin nodded and walked into the private room with mother Lin.
When Zhou han turned around and wanted to go in, he was grabbed by Lin Li. She bent over and whispered a warning in his ear, ” “Don’t talk nonsense later.”
Zhou han looked at her and just smiled without saying anything.
Mother Lin and father Lin had just entered when mother Zhou stood up to welcome them. She was smiling as she said, ” in-law daddy, in-law mommy, you’re here. Quick, quick, come and sit down, come and sit down. As she spoke, she held mother Lin’s hand and led her to the dining table.
Father Zhou also stood up to welcome him. He nodded at father Lin with a smile that he usually didn’t have.
Before mother Lin came, she was a little worried that it would be too awkward when they were angry. She didn’t know what to say when they sat together. But after a few minutes, she let go. Because mother Zhou loved to talk and laugh, ever since they came in, the atmosphere had not been cold. She pulled mother Lin to talk about some common things, and the atmosphere became warm.
Father Zhou had been a leader for a long time, and his serious face was a little stiff, but he really valued his future in-laws. Although the smile on his face wasn’t too stiff, at least his attitude was sincere.
This meal was very harmonious. At the end of the conversation, mother Zhou talked about Lin Li and Zhou Han’s wedding. According to her and father Zhou’s wishes, they wanted to hold a wedding for Lin Li and Zhou han. They felt that Lin Li’s marriage to Jiangcheng was already unfair to her. Moreover, there was no proper wedding. That would be too unfair to Lin Li. They treated the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law as their own daughter and wanted to give her what she deserved.
In fact, when father Lin and mother Lin heard the Zhou family say this, the last bit of worry they had for Lin Li was gone. If they could marry their daughter into a good son-in-law and in-law’s family, what else could they ask for? there was nothing they could ask for. As for the wedding, it was no longer important.
Mother Lin smiled and took mother Zhou’s hand, saying sincerely, ” in-law, with your words, we have nothing to worry about. We’ll be counting on you to help our Xiao Li in the future.
Mother Zhou also held her hand and said with a smile,”Look at what you’re saying. We’re family, family.”
Mother Lin also smiled. She turned to look at Lin Li and Zhou han and said, ” as for the wedding, I don’t have any objections. It’d be best if the young people want to have it. If they really think it’s troublesome, we’ll respect them.
Upon hearing that, everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Li and Zhou han.
Lin Li laughed dryly and turned to look at Zhou han, only to see him eating with his chopsticks as if nothing had happened.
Mother Zhou noticed something and called out to Zhou han, ” “Zhou han.”
“What?” Zhou han raised his head and seemed a little puzzled.
say something. Do you want to hold the wedding or not? we can’t let Lin Li suffer. Mother Zhou said, which meant that she wanted him to agree to hold a wedding.
Zhou han nodded and said, ” it doesn’t matter whether we do it or not. I’ll listen to Lin Li. As he spoke, he looked at Lin Li with a smile.
The corner of Lin Li’s mouth twitched. She reached out under the table and pinched Zhou han hard. She laughed dryly and turned to mother Zhou and said, ” I think, I think it’s better not to hold it first. Recently, Zhou Han’s company has been quite busy. We’ll talk about it after the wedding.
