Chapter 279 Little Liu Enters Her Boyfriend Old Cui's Richest House

Sitting in Lao Cui's dazzlingly cool luxury car, Xiao Liu felt as if he had been swept into an absurd dream by a tornado. Outside the car window, Lao Cui's manor, which resembled a medieval castle, drew closer and closer, and Xiao Liu's heart pounded faster and faster, like the rapid beating of war drums.

"Old Cui, are you sure there's nothing wrong with my outfit? I feel like I'm some kind of imposter going to a tycoon cosplay contest." Xiao Liu tugged at the dress she thought she had carefully chosen, but now felt awkward no matter how she looked at it, and asked with a long face.

Old Cui's lips curled into a smile that could charm anyone. He reached out and ruffled Xiao Liu's hair, making her already messy hairstyle look even more like a bird's nest. "Baby, don't worry about it. With your looks, you're as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, naturally beautiful without any artifice. I guarantee my family will love you when they see you."

Xiao Liu rolled her eyes at him, silently thinking: "You're so good at sweet-talking people!" However, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. After all, who could easily face meeting the parents of their richest boyfriend, especially such a super-rich family?

The car slowly drove into the manor gate. The two security guards at the entrance, who looked like statues, snapped to attention as if wound up, their salutes perfectly synchronized. Xiao Liu was so startled she almost dropped her bag, muttering under her breath, "This commotion makes me afraid to even breathe. Do they think I'm some important person?"

Old Cui suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, "Of course, from now on, you are the future mistress of this house. How could they not take you seriously?"

Xiao Liu pinched him, "Stop teasing me, my heart can hardly take it."

As soon as Xiao Liu stepped into the hall, she was overwhelmed by a dazzling display of gold, almost making her dizzy. The crystal chandelier shone like a small sun, illuminating the entire hall. A group of cleaning ladies stood in a neat row, like well-trained soldiers. Before Xiao Liu could even react, they all shouted in unison, "Welcome home, madam!"

Xiao Liu's eyes widened in horror as she looked at Lao Cui, her gaze seeming to say: What's going on? I'm just a girlfriend, how did I become his wife? Lao Cui, on the other hand, remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips, enjoying the awkward yet hilarious scene.

Xiao Liu stammered, "H-Hello everyone, I...I'm not Mrs. Cui, I'm Lao Cui's girlfriend, Xiao Liu." Upon hearing this, the cleaning ladies exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with confusion, as if to say: This isn't the script we received!

At this moment, a butler-like man strode over with a professional smile on his face and said respectfully, "Miss, please don't be modest. The young master brought you back, so you are the future wife. This is the rule in our family."

Xiao Liu was both amused and exasperated, and looked to Lao Cui for help. Lao Cui then said calmly, "Alright, everyone, stop standing there. Xiao Liu is easily embarrassed, don't scare her." The crowd dispersed, but Xiao Liu still felt those furtive glances sweeping over her like tiny brushes.

Old Cui, holding Xiao Liu's hand, walked upstairs while smiling and saying, "Honey, don't mind them, they're just being too enthusiastic. In my family, everyone is hoping I'll settle down soon."

Xiao Liu pouted, "You're still laughing? They almost scared me to death. If I had known meeting your parents would be this scary, I wouldn't have come."

Just then, a young security guard walked towards them, holding a walkie-talkie. When he saw them, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood at attention and shouted, "Good morning, Madam! Good morning, Young Master!"

Xiao Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I mean, does everyone in your family already consider me the wife? I haven't even officially entered the family yet."

Old Cui shrugged and said helplessly, "It seems it will be difficult to get them to change their minds. Why don't you just put up with it and temporarily be this 'wife'?"

Xiao Liu raised her hand and gave him a flick on the forehead. "You're really going to push your luck, aren't you!"

Once in the room, Xiao Liu plopped down on the bed like a deflated balloon. "Old Cui, I still can't get used to the exaggerated atmosphere in your house. I'm just an ordinary girl, and suddenly so many people are calling me 'wife,' it feels like a dream."

Old Cui sat down next to her, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Honey, I know this is a bit sudden for you. But I truly want a future with you, and my family is really looking forward to your arrival. Just make yourself at home and get used to it gradually." Looking into his sincere eyes, Xiao Liu felt a warmth in her heart and nodded gently.

After resting for a while, Old Cui said he would take Xiao Liu to visit the manor. As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into a cleaning lady mopping the floor. Seeing them, the lady immediately put down her mop and said with a smile, "Madam, Young Master, are you going out for a stroll?"

This time, Xiao Liu was somewhat prepared and managed a forced smile. "Yes, Auntie, you go ahead with your work."

Walking in the garden, Xiao Liu was stunned by the beautiful scenery before her. Various exotic flowers and plants vied for attention, and there was a huge fountain whose water shimmered with iridescent colors in the sunlight. Xiao Liu was as excited as a little rabbit, hopping and skipping around, looking at and touching everything. Old Cui looked at her adorable appearance, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Suddenly, Xiao Liu saw a gardener pruning flowers and plants not far away, and she walked over curiously. The gardener looked up, saw them, immediately put down his shears, and said respectfully, "Madam, young master, these roses are in full bloom. Shall I cut a few branches for you to put in your room?"

Xiao Liu quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, it's too much trouble for you. It's so beautiful to see them in good condition."

The gardener insisted, "It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to serve your wife."

Xiao Liu looked helplessly at Lao Cui, who had no choice but to step in and smooth things over: "Alright, you go about your business. Your wife prefers things natural."

After touring the garden, Lao Cui took Xiao Liu to the indoor gym, private cinema, and even a small indoor golf course. At each place, the staff would warmly address Xiao Liu as "Madam." Xiao Liu, who was initially panicked, was now able to maintain her composure, though her smile was still a bit stiff.

That evening, the family sat around the huge dining table to prepare dinner. Old Cui's parents were exceptionally hospitable, showering Xiao Liu with concern and calling her "daughter-in-law" repeatedly, making Xiao Liu blush. The table was laden with all sorts of delicacies, and Xiao Liu, looking at the dishes that were so exquisite they resembled works of art, didn't know where to begin.

Old Cui seemed to sense her embarrassment and considerately helped her pick up some food, even quietly teaching her some dining etiquette. Xiao Liu nodded as she ate cautiously, thinking to herself: This meal is really something; even eating a meal requires such finesse.

After dinner, Xiao Liu and Lao Cui rested in the living room. Lao Cui's mother came over, took Xiao Liu's hand, and said kindly, "Xiao Liu, you've finally arrived. Lao Cui is so lucky to have found such a wonderful girl like you. From now on, make yourself at home here, and feel free to ask for anything you need."

Xiao Liu was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. She quickly said, "Auntie, you're too kind. I was afraid I wouldn't do a good job and would cause you any trouble."

Old Cui's father smiled and said, "Silly child, don't be so formal. From today onwards, you are a member of our family. Although our family has a lot of rules, everyone sincerely welcomes you."

Xiao Liu nodded vigorously, "Thank you, uncles and aunts. I will try my best to adapt."

As night deepened, Xiao Liu lay on the soft, cloud-like bed, reflecting on the day's events. It felt like a crazy rollercoaster ride. Although the day was filled with awkwardness and discomfort, she also felt the warmth and sincerity of Lao Cui's family. Lost in thought, a slight smile crept onto Xiao Liu's lips as she drifted off to sleep. In her dream, she truly became the "wife" of this family, living happily ever after with Lao Cui…
