The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 253 - 0: Looking at the Son-in-law

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone directly, and Shen Manwen was left disheveled by the call!

That bastard!

How dare he hang up on her?

Her mom was at home!

If that jerk talked nonsense with her mom, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Liu Xi, have Xiao Wu prepare the car immediately!"

"Yes!"

Hastily, Shen Manwen rushed home, and upon entering, she looked around frantically, making sure Cheng Yuan hadn’t arrived yet; she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Manwen’s mother, Song Huilan, was also scouting around. Noticing that Shen Manwen hadn’t brought the ’son-in-law’ home, her complexion darkened instantly.

"Manwen, mom specifically stayed to see her son-in-law; why didn’t you bring Cheng Yuan home? Aren’t you wasting my time?"

Shen Manwen felt a giant headache coming on. Was she doomed never to be married off?

Did her mom need to be so anxious?

"Mom, Cheng Yuan will come over later to report on work. Don’t overthink it; Cheng Yuan and I are just colleagues!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t overthink."

Song Huilan’s frown turned into glee. She didn’t believe her daughter’s nonsense at all!

She had been staying at her daughter’s place for several days now and had never seen any young man come over at night to report on work.

Cheng Yuan being so special could only mean one thing—he was no doubt her son-in-law!

Cheng Yuan didn’t rashly show up at her door but instead went to the East Gate Vegetable Market and bought several bags of ingredients, all things Shen Manwen liked to eat.

With Pan Minghe’s good graces, the stallholders eagerly helped Cheng Yuan prepare the ingredients.

Cheng Yuan, delighted, carried his large and small packages to Shen Manwen’s house.

Beep beep...

Cheng Yuan keyed in the passcode and unlocked the door.

Shen Manwen’s heart skipped a beat!

Not good!

How could she forget that Cheng Yuan knew her home’s passcode!

Could her mom have misunderstood?

Clearly, Song Huilan really did misunderstand, and deeply at that!

Suddenly, hearing the door, Song Huilan dashed from the kitchen and, upon seeing Cheng Yuan with his arms full of ingredients, burst into the room.

Wow!

What a handsome young man!

Standing next to her daughter, they truly looked like a couple matched in heaven, utterly perfect together!

What excited her most was that Cheng Yuan had the door code; what did that imply?

Her daughter and he were already secretly living together!

She might soon become a grandmother!

"Xiao Cheng, right? You’re too polite, buying so much stuff?"

Cheng Yuan was bewildered, a forehead full of question marks.

What in the world was going on?

Who am I?

Where is this?

What am I doing here?

Who is this gorgeous lady who’s being so warm to me?

Cheng Yuan suddenly started to stutter, "Sister, I—I’m here for the County Chief, is the County Chief in?"

Sister?

Song Huilan’s eyes crinkled into crescents!

The more she looked at Cheng Yuan, the more pleasing she found him!

Look at this young man, handsome and so discerning!

"Manwen, Xiao Cheng is back; why don’t you come greet him?"

Shen Manwen was full of black lines. What did she mean by ’back’?

This definitely wasn’t Cheng Yuan’s home!

Shen Manwen stood up reluctantly, glaring fiercely at Cheng Yuan.

"Cheng Yuan, don’t got calling anything you like; this is my mom."

Mom??

Cheng Yuan looked at Song Huilan in disbelief.

"So you are my aunt? I actually thought you were the County Chief’s sister! You look so young!"

Song Huilan nearly beamed into a flower from Cheng Yuan’s compliment.

"Ah, Xiao Cheng, you exaggerate too much. Where do I look that young? Hahaha..."

"Huh? All this stuff you bought is exactly what Manwen likes to eat! It seems you really care a lot about Manwen!"

Cheng Yuan didn’t know how to respond and could only scratch his head and offer a silly smile.

"Xiao Cheng, come sit down, Manwen, peel some fruit for Xiao Cheng."

Shen Manwen was fuming. What was her mom playing at?

Whatever happened to the fierce mother-in-law stereotype?

Why was she so gentle with Cheng Yuan?

"Mom, Cheng Yuan is my subordinate. You ask him if he’d dare let me peel fruit for him?"

Song Huilan gave her a stern look.

"Are you rebelling? You don’t listen to your mom? At home, there’s no rank, only affection! Right now, you have only one status—Xiao Cheng’s girlfriend!!"

Shen Manwen felt like she was going nuts, hurriedly explaining, "Mom, don’t make trouble! Cheng Yuan and I are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship!"

"Pshaw! Xiao Cheng has your home’s passcode, and he knows all your likes. If he’s not your boyfriend, what is he?"

Shen Manwen was speechless and could only turn her head and give Cheng Yuan a threatening look.

"Cheng Yuan, you tell her."

Cheng Yuan put on an aggrieved expression.

"Aunt, what the County Chief said is true; for now, it’s only my one-sided love for the County Chief. The County Chief hasn’t accepted my pursuit yet."

Song Huilan smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, you pursue her boldly. Manwen is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as you persist, even an iron rod can be grinded into a needle!"

The last thing I want is to be sharpened into a needle; I’m getting rougher the more I sharpen.

"All right, aunt. I’ll try my best! Aunt, let me cook some dishes for you and the County Chief to try my cooking."

Song Huilan immediately took the bags of ingredients from Cheng Yuan’s hands.

"I can cook, just you and Manwen improve your relationship. I’m waiting to be a grandmother!"

Cheng Yuan acted extremely embarrassed, his hands uncertain where to place them.

Song Huilan was even more pleased with Cheng Yuan.

This kid is good, innocent, honest. Manwen definitely wouldn’t be bullied following him.

Song Huilan, carrying the ingredients, went into the kitchen, while Cheng Yuan shamelessly sat next to Shen Manwen.

Shen Manwen didn’t show Cheng Yuan any good face, questioning him coldly, "Cheng Yuan, you’re getting bolder and bolder! How dare you hang up on me?"
