"You're back!"
With the help of a staff, Elder Lee beamed as he walked up. Behind him was Father Lee, Lee Zhengxun, and Mother Lee, Xie Jiajia.
"Solar, you're finally here!"
"You've met my grandfather and sister, so I don't need to introduce them to you. This is Father and this is Mother!" Moonbyul introduced softly by her side.
Solar then looked over following Moonbyul's line of sight and quickly saw the older Lee couple.
Lee Zhengxun stood upright and was dressed in a tailored black tuxedo. Just with his tall and formidable physique and manner alone, one could not help but revere him. A humble smile hung on his handsome face, and you could vaguely see the similarities in his outline with Moonbyul's.
Beside him, Xie Jiajia seemed rather petite with a cute dollish face. Dressed in a milky white lace dress with a black hem outlining her skirt, she looked earnest and had a joyful, fresh aura. She looked young and her pair of eyes were bright as she stared at Solar slightly nervously. Her little hand held tightly onto Lee Zhengxun's hand, but to Solar, it looked just like a father holding his daughter's hand.
Shortly, Solar greeted them politely, "Grandfather, Sister, Father, Mother, hello. I'm Solar."
"Good girl, Solar. Hello and don't worry. I'm not an evil mother-in-law. I'm actually very easy to get along with, so you don't have to be worried!"
Solar had just finished when an alluring and gentle voice responded to her. She looked over to see Xie Jiajia beaming at her. However, Xie Jiajia's hand that held onto Lee Zhengxun's had tightened, so he could not help but frown slightly now.
"Now, it seems like it's not Solar who's nervous, but you. Do you look like someone who's easy to get along with?" Even though Lee Zhengxun sounded as if he was unhappy, if one listened closely, his tone was still filled with doting.
Lee Zhengxun and Xie Jiajia had a great relationship that was well recognized within the scene. In fact, they always had a great relationship with Marco and Zhuang Shurong. Despite their low profile, to others, they were a model couple who were very much in love.
Xie Jiajia pouted at Lee Zhengxun. "How do I look unfriendly now?"
"I see it with both my eyes," Lee Zhengxun plainly said and smiled with a nod at Solar.
Xie Jiajia smiled and nodded at Solar too. Yet, in the next second, she put on an evil stepmother expression as she glared at Lee Zhengxun. "How dare you? Say that again! If you dare say that again, don't think about getting in my bed tonight!"
Even though Xie Jiajia said this very softly through gritted teeth, Solar and Moonbyul could hear it all clearly. Solar was stunned on the spot. She looked at the couple before her in surprise. Even Elder Lee and Lee Yu could hear it all clearly.
"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Behind them, Elder Lee cleared his throat and finally broke this silence.
In the next instance, Lee Zhengxun's handsome face was already blushing, his sharp eyes flashing with annoyance.
"Okay, let's go home first. This brat Moonbyul got married and didn't even discuss it with the family. My child, you've suffered. Don't worry. The Lee family will definitely let you marry in grand fashion. Tomorrow we'll bring this fellow to speak to your parents!" Elder Lee gave Moonbyul a glare as he said to Solar.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. We've already gone to the Ji home. My parents are very open-minded. We just came back after such a long time..."
"Alright, that's enough. This isn't your fault. It's all this punk!" Elder Lee stated as he could not help but shoot Moonbyul a glare again.
Moonbyul could not help but put a hand to his forehead. Why did it seem like he had committed a serious crime when he had just brought his wife back?
"Alright, let's go in and continue. Secretary He, please bring the things in the car to the living room. All of you, go to help too!"
Moonbyul shrugged helplessly as he pulled Solar's hand and walked in through the door.
Everyone watched them, then exchanged a glance before smiling as they followed.
...
Knowing that Moonbyul was bringing Solar back to the Lee residence that day, Lisa had told Haruto to send over a few good bottles of wine. The Lee family was a family of wine-lovers. Obviously pleased with Lisa's gesture, Elder Lee drank a few more glasses at the dinner table, and indeed got drunk, so Moonbyul and Lee Zhengxun carried him upstairs to rest.
While Solar was left in the living room, Xie Jiajia and Lee Yu accompanied her.
Xie Jiajia, who was also known as Mother Lee, was a very passionate and lively person. She was very likable. Solar was worried at first about getting along with her, but unexpectedly, they hit it off very well.
Xie Jiajia liked Solar too because she was quite dependable and seemed full of life. Her looks and personality were worthy of her son while her family background was good, and she was the daughter of a respectable family. As long as her son fancied her, the rest was not important.
"Haha, Solar, tell me then, how did you and Moonbyul get together? How unexpected that you were a cadet under him and Lis! What a coincidence! You're truly a quarrelsome but loving couple! Just like me and Moonbyul's father, when I married him back then, he was a nerd who didn't know how to be romantic at all and forgot about fun! He even complained that I was a little girl who wouldn't grow up. Won't he even look at how I can't age which is a benefit to him!?"
Xie Jiajia and Solar chatted happily. Maybe it was because of Xie Jiajia's dollish looks, but when Solar sat with her, she really did not feel much pressure.
"Mother, you and Father have quite an interesting life."
"I think it's just cheap thrills! Solar, you'll understand in time!" Beside her, Lee Yu rolled her eyes at her own mother. "Alright, Mother, it's not early anymore. Solar's been busy the entire day, so she's probably tired. Let her rest earlier. Father's already told you to rest earlier. Don't you have a meeting tomorrow morning?"
"Solar, go upstairs and wash up. Everything that should've been prepared has already been prepared. Come, I'll bring you to Moonbyul's room." Lee Yu could not bear to watch Solar be bothered by Xie Jiajia. It had already been a long night, so she could only help Solar escape the abyss of suffering just in time.
