My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Ge Chen said, "You met her."

Xue Lin blinked. She was stunned before asking, "Did I? When?" She couldn’t remember encountering an old woman.

It was Ge Chen’s time to be surprised. "...Don’t you remember?" After he saw her shaking her head, he answered, "You met in front of the kitchen."

"Really? I have been absent-minded recently." She still couldn’t remember any old woman she encountered.

Her husband tried to make her remember, "You just met her a couple of minutes ago."

Xue Lin nodded. "I see. There are lots of faces here. It’s hard to memorize everyone’s face."

"Are you having a problem with memorizing faces?" Ge Chen didn’t think that an intelligent girl like her would have that kind of problem. He couldn’t imagine how she lived abroad.

She answered, "Yes, I have that problem. Did she want to meet me?"

Ge Chen replied, "Yes, she will talk to us in the evening. She just came back, so she is tired."

"That makes sense. I’ll finish my work so that I can have some free time later." Xue Lin turned on her laptop since it went to ’sleep’ mood.

"I won’t disturb you then." Ge Chen stood up and walked out of the bedroom. He had things to do as well.

In the evening, Gu Xiali was covering her forehead with her hand. In front of her, Xue Lin was sitting on the sofa. They were the only ones who were in the room. Xue Lin noticed that her palms were sweating, her heart was beating fast, and her stomach was rumbling.

It is Gu Xiali’s parlor. The room was spacious and decorated with antique furniture and flowers. The smell of aristocracy is stronger here. Xue Lin could see lots of artifacts placed all over the room. She had an urge to touch them but she controlled herself by clenching fists.

Gu Xiali was the most beautiful grandmother Xue Lin saw in her life. Despite being seventy-six years old, she looked like a middle-aged woman. She is able to maintain her beauty even though she is so old, it made Xue Lin respect her. No wonder she couldn’t recall meeting any old woman. She thought that that middle-aged woman she met in front of the kitchen was an employee.

Gu Xiali observed Xue Lin top to bottom. She started the conversation, "Say, your name is Fa Xue Lin."

"Yes." Xue Lin answered robotically.

’She looks nervous.’ Gu Xiali thought. But she had no interest in going easy on her. "And you are on bad terms with your family."

"That’s true." Xue Lin naturally told the truth. She didn’t want to lie since she realized that her background was checked thoroughly.

Gu Xiali seeped the warm rose team and sharply looked at her, "And why is that?"

Xue Lin frowned slightly remembering the last incident. "It’s because they wanted me to marry into a bad family."

Gu Xiali narrowed her eyes. "Bad family, you say. But you did end up marrying into that family anyway."

"I did not." Xue Lin stubbornly answered.

Gu Xiali lifted her eyebrow. "How so? Xiao Chen belongs to the Ge Family."

"He doesn’t belong to a place where he has no value and no one treated him as their own. This is what I believe and no one can change my belief." Xue Lin’s tone was firm and clear. Her grey eyes didn’t waver.

Gu Xiali commented, "You have a pretty good mouth for such a young girl."

"Thank you for the compliment." Xue Lin bowed slightly.

"..."

"..."

Time passed slowly. It seemed slower than a slime. Xue Lin felt pressured. Her stomach was feeling worse than before.

Gu Xiali finished her tea and said, "I heard that you kicked out Xiao Chen’s grandfather."

"I didn’t kick him out. I politely told fishing grandpa to kick him out or I would leave. Fishing grandpa kicked him out." Xue Lin said righteously.

[A/N: Politely, you say... I must know the wrong definition of politeness then. -_- ]

Gu Xiali couldn’t understand her terms of speaking. She asked, "...Who is ’Fishing Grandpa’?"

Xue Lin replied, "Your husband."

"..."

When she saw that grandmother Gu Xiali didn’t speak, Xue Lin said, "I don’t remember his name." She spoke as if nothing was wrong.

"..." Gu Xiali regretted that she asked. "I also heard that you went to the Ge Family and made quite a fuss."

Xue Lin answered, "It wasn’t my intention. I’m rather a peaceful person. But Chen’s father didn’t act like a father, his shameless wife was trying to teach us a lesson, and that stupid idiot so of theirs was insulting Chen. I couldn’t take it anymore and I had to open my mouth. After all, a married man with a beautiful family destroyed everything to have a street woman doesn’t deserve my respect."

"!!!" Gu Xiali was astonished at first but then she leaned forward and grabbed Xue Lin’s hands. "I just realized that you are the perfect bride for my grandson."

"..." Xue Lin wondered, ’For what reason I was so nervous?’
