Master Lin thought Lin Jiasi was deliberately making things difficult for Fu Jingtian because she was unhappy about the arranged blind date. His face immediately darkened: "Lin Jiasi, is this how you treat a guest?"
When Lin Jiasi ignored him, he turned his criticism toward Lin Jiasi's mother: "Look at this, this is the fine daughter you've raised."
Lin Jiasi's mother was still in a daze. What had she just heard? This man actually drugged her daughter's drink?
Looking at the shattered glass, Lin Jiasi's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, her daughter hadn't drunk it.
As if suddenly remembering Master Lin's presence, she asked: "What did you just say?"
Master Lin was practically fuming with anger. His cane struck the floor three times in rage, leaving Lin Tingyue somewhat conflicted.
[Will we have to pay if the private room's floor gets damaged?]
[Although it's probably just pocket change for the old master, still…]
Lin Rusong stood up to intervene: "Dad, you're not in good health. Don't get so angry."
Perfect. Just when Master Lin needed someone to vent his frustration on, Lin Rusong stepped forward. Master Lin sternly said: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't spoiled your sister, would she be like this?"
[Typical case of being strict with others but lenient with yourself. Tsk tsk tsk. If not for a father like you, would auntie have stopped coming home?]
[Why don't you reflect on yourself?]
Master Lin even raised his cane, looking as if he was about to hit someone.
[Dad—]
Lin Jiasi walked over to Master Lin and swiftly pressed down his cane. She said: "You're right, Dad. I was being impolite. I'll apologize to this… Mr. Fu right now."
"That's more like it."
Hitting his eldest son in front of so many people wouldn't look good. Since Lin Jiasi offered him a way out, he took the opportunity to step down.
Master Lin looked at Lin Jiasi before him, thinking to himself that although he was already halfway in the grave, he still commanded some respect among the younger generation.
Bai Yaxin vaguely sensed what Lin Jiasi intended to do. She stood up, brought a new glass, and just as she was about to hand it to Lin Jiasi, Fu Jingtian took it from her.
Fu Jingtian said politely: "I was the one who offended Miss Lin. How could I let her pour the wine? Allow me."
Lin Jiasi smiled ambiguously. "Alright."
She exchanged a glance with Bai Yaxin.
After Fu Jingtian finished pouring the wine, Bai Yaxin suddenly said: "Jiasi, there seems to be a stain on your skirt."
"Really?"
Lin Jiasi looked down. She was wearing a white suit skirt today, and the red wine stain was quite noticeable.
Girls care about their appearance, and stained clothes would naturally upset them. Probably thinking he already had the upper hand, Fu Jingtian put down the two glasses of wine and bent down to help Lin Jiasi adjust her skirt.
Seeing this, Lin Rusong and Lin Jiasi's mother worked together to distract Master Lin's attention, while Bai Yaxin seized the moment to switch the two glasses.
Lin Tingyue watched in astonishment.
[Did auntie and my parents already know something?]
[Well done!]
Lin Jiasi said: "Never mind the stained skirt. What matters is that I really hit it off with Mr. Fu today."
Lin Jiasi raised her glass of wine, offering a smile as intoxicating as the vintage itself. "Mr. Fu, cheers."
"Miss Lin, cheers."
Their glasses met with a crisp chime that sounded rather delightful.
[Tsk, I can already foresee this Mr. Fu's fate.]
As the dinner concluded, the Lin family descended the stairs with Fu Jingtian. Under Master Lin's persistent urging, Lin Jiasi and Fu Jingtian had just exchanged contact information, prompting a satisfied smile from the old patriarch. After years of arranging blind dates for Lin Jiasi, he was finally seeing results today. Master Lin swelled with pride.
The trouble began when they stepped out of the elevator and moved through the lobby. Fu Jingtian suddenly felt unbearably hot but dismissed it, assuming it was due to wearing a full suit and tie to impress Lin Jiasi in this weather. He completely forgot the hotel was air-conditioned.
Master Lin, pleased with his handpicked prospective son-in-law, was the first to notice Fu Jingtian loosening his tie. "Are you warm, Xiao Fu? You're too dedicated to making a good impression on Jiasi. Just take off your jacket if you're hot."
Fu Jingtian, already disoriented, nodded vaguely. "Alright."
He tugged off his tie, popping the buttons of his suit jacket as he stared blankly at the person beside him. Strangely, confusion crossed his face—hadn't Master Lin been standing there moments ago? Now it was Lin Jiasi.
Honestly, Fu Jingtian was thrilled she stood so close. He'd harbored a crush on Lin Jiasi since middle school; this rare chance to be near her set his heart racing. He impulsively embraced "Lin Jiasi," blushing as he confessed, "Jiasi, you have no idea… I've liked you for so long."
The embraced Master Lin was baffled. "Xiao Fu, what are you talking about? Jiasi is over there." He pointed ahead with his cane, but Fu Jingtian grabbed his hand instead. By now, Fu Jingtian had discarded his jacket and was unbuttoning his shirt, his dream girl's face seemingly within reach. "Jiasi, Jiasi… I want to kiss you."
Master Lin frowned. What was wrong with Xiao Fu?
Before he could ponder further, Fu Jingtian leaned in for a kiss. Master Lin's eyes widened in shock—had Lin Rusong not yanked him aside, the fervent Fu Jingtian would have tackled him. Bai Yaxin promptly pulled the spectating Lin Tingyue and Lin Jiasi farther away.
Shirtless and relentless, Fu Jingtian began undoing his pants. The upscale hotel had never witnessed such a scene; the front desk screamed for security. Two guards restrained Fu Jingtian, who mumbled, "Jiasi, weren't you willing? Do you prefer it like this?"
[Ugh! So disgusting!]
Lin Jiasi found it equally repulsive. She strode over and slapped Fu Jingtian across the face—only to realize the strike seemed to… excite him.
[Ahhh little auntie, wash your hands wash your hands.]
[Men are really like this – they get turned on when scolded, they get turned on when hit, they just get turned on by everything…]
Fu Jingtian begged the two security guards to keep hitting him, leaving the two guards exchanging bewildered looks.
[This should count as work-related injury, right?]
Meanwhile, Master Lin finally snapped out of his daze, his voice nearly gone from shouting: "Call the police! Call the police!!"
But no matter how quickly the police were called, the next day both Fu Jingtian and Master Lin ended up in the news together –
Shocking! Father-in-law and son-in-law actually did such things, and the son-in-law even wanted more.
Lin Tingyue passing by: […]
