After considering Xu Jialin's words, Xie Jiwen thought it would be beneficial for him to learn from Han Zhuofeng.

Everyone drank a little bit and became tipsy.

After the meal, Gu Yingsu said, "We prepared a place for you to stay. It's nearby. You won't be afraid to stay at it by yourself, right?"

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. "…"

What did Xie Jiling tell her parents?

Did everyone know that he was a coward?

Han Zhuofeng smiled and said, "It's fine. I won't be scared by myself. Our house should be very safe, so I know vengeful spirits won't dare to come inside."

Not only had he started calling Xie Jiling's parents Dad and Mom, but he had also referred to this house as 'our house.'

Xie Jiwen thought that Han Zhuofeng was very capable.

Xie Jialin smiled quietly. She didn't know how to feel.

She couldn't take Han Zhuofeng seriously.

If she corrected him, it would seem as though she was unsatisfied with him. This would cause the atmosphere to feel awkward.

However, she felt bitter without correcting him.

She started feeling worried for Xie Jiling.

Han Zhuofeng managed to date her young daughter because he had too many tricks up his sleeves!

Gu Yingsu and Xie Tongyun were too simple-minded. Gu Yingsu actually asked Han Zhuofeng if he was scared.

Was she not scared that Han Zhuofeng might take this chance and ask to stay in the same room as Xie Jiling?

Xie Jiwen knew well that the members of the Han Family were very shameless.

Before Gu Yingsu could say anything that would make her regretful, Xie Jiwen said, "Yes. As long as the house is located within the boundaries of the Xie Family's territory, whether inside or outside the main estate, no vengeful spirit would dare to come near the mountain forest."

"All vengeful spirits knew that the Xie Family lives, so none of them should dare to provoke us," Xie Jiwen said, "Therefore, you don't have to worry about staying in a room by yourself. It will be fine."

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. "…"

Elder brothers-in-law were the worst existence in the world.

"Where is Jiling going to stay then?" Han Zhuofeng asked. He immediately explained, "I will come and hang out with Jiling during the day."

He had no other motives. They shouldn't get the wrong idea.

"I'll be staying at my old place, which is very close to here. When I take you back to your courtyard later, I'll first show you the way to my place so that you can remember it," Xie Jiling said.

Hearing that, Xie Jiwen immediately wondered whether Xie Jiling intended to bring Han Zhuofeng to her place and if he would eventually stay there.

Xie Jiling was a very naive and sincere girl. Xie Jiwen couldn't allow that to happen!

Everything that came out of a guy's mouth should never be trusted!If they said that they wouldn't do anything, that would be impossible!

All men were bad!

"I will go with you and show Zhuofeng the way," Xie Jiwen immediately said.

Xu Jialin rolled her eyes. Her son exhausted her.

This was the territory of the Xie Family. Even if Han Zhuofeng had bad intentions, he wouldn't dare to do it in front of Xie Jiling's parents.

If he didn't want her future in-laws to kick him out of this place, he wouldn't demand to stay in Xie Jiling's place.

In Xu Jialin's opinion, Han Zhuofeng wasn't dumb, so he wouldn't do anything stupid.

As such, she couldn't help but question how her son became the person he was at his age.

It wasn't surprising that he still hadn't succeeded in courting Hu Kaiyin.

This was too disappointing!

Why would he get involved in this?

Wasn't he basically annoying Han Zhuofeng?

If Han Zhuofeng thought Xie Jiwen was annoying, would he still help brainstorm ideas?

Xu Jialin was so angry that she didn't hesitate to kick Xie Jiwen under the table.

Xie Jiwen looked at Xu Jialin in shock.

Why did you kick me?

Xu Jialin ignored Xie Jiwen and forced herself to smile at Han Zhuofeng.

She had no choice. It was really difficult to have a son like him.

"Jiwen forgot that he's too tired tonight and that he has to sleep early, so he can't go with you guys." Xu Jialin was too lazy to even come up with a more believable excuse for Xie Jiwen.

She felt too mentally exhausted.

Han Zhuofeng didn't care about the excuse.

As long as Xie Jiwen wouldn't cause any trouble for him, he would be fine with it.

Therefore, Han Zhuofeng took the lie seriously.

He even cooperated with Xu Jialin and said, "I see. My older brother really needs to get a good rest."

Men shouldn't be this weak!

Xu Jialin looked at Xie Jiwen again.

Look at Han Zhuofeng's ability to craft convincing lies with such a straight face.

Xie Jiwen rolled his eyes dramatically in response.

He was really struggling to partake in this meal."There are a lot of elders in our house." When Han Zhuofeng said 'our house,' Xie Tongyun follow suit.

When Xie Tongyun said it, he realized that it didn't sound wrong.

Han Zhuofeng's smile became more and more genuine.

He finally understood where Xie Jiling inherited her naivety.

She was just like her father!

"However, the elders are old, and they rest early. Some are out and about exorcising. You can see some of them during the day. Some of them are not in the village, so you won't see them."

"But there's no rush. There is plenty of time in the future for you to get to know all of them," Xie Tongyun said.

And so, they finished dinner.

Xie Tongyun then urged both of them to rest.

Xie Jiling stepped out of the door with Han Zhuofeng and led him to her house.

One just had to walk out of the dining room and turn left to see a small house.

"Let's go. I will take you to your house," Xie Jiling said.

Han Zhuofeng's house was on the other side. Xie Tongyun and Gu Yingsu's house was in between his house and Xie Jiling's house.

This way, Gu Yingsu and Xie Tongyun would know if Han Zhuofeng went looking for Xie Jiling.

Han Zhuofeng suspected that Gu Yingsu could have arranged for someone to keep tabs on the door.

"Our houses are very close to each other. They're easily found, Xie Jiling said as she walked him to his house.

"Then I will walk you back to your place and come back here myself," Han Zhuofeng said.

Xie Jiling nodded.

If she were with him, she would simply never get tired.

Even if she could barely keep her eyes open, she still wanted to be around him.

The two walked slowly and strolled around after the meal.

However, they still eventually arrived in front of Xie Jiling's yard.

"Rest well." Han Zhuofeng said, "I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

"You don't have to wake up that early tomorrow. It's fine." Today was too tiring.

"It's fine. This is your house. I have to perform well. I can't let the parents-in-law think that I'm too lazy," Han Zhuofeng said, "I have to eat breakfast with them tomorrow morning and keep their good impression on me up."

Thankfully, Xu Jialin wasn't here. If she knew about Han Zhuofeng's plan, she would have scolded Xie Jiwen again.

"Okay." Xie Jiling knew that he had been doing all these things for her.

He wanted to create a better impression in front of her parents.

If it wasn't because he cared and was nervous, why would he bother to be this respectful?

At this moment, Han Zhuofeng looked around and asked Xie Jiling softly, "Did your parents arrange for someone to keep an eye out on us?"

"No. Why did you ask?" Xie Jiling was surprised.

"I really want to kiss you. But if someone else is around, I won't be able to do it," Han Zhuofeng whispered.

Xie Jiling blushed. She responded softly, "Actually… actually, it's normal to kiss. We're dating. How could we not kiss?"

"My parents aren't that old-fashioned, so I'm sure they won't complain about such a thing."
