You're My Only Star

Chapter 388 - Just One Glass

Lu Xun entered the room and looked around the familiar place.

A few months ago, he was invited into his father-in-law's office where the two of them shared a drink. Lu Xun could still remember how stifling it felt while facing Song Chen.

This time, he had this feeling that he would have to suffer facing his father-in-law.

Song Chen closed the door behind him and gestured for Lu Xun to take a seat. Then, he walked over to the small cabinet and pulled out two glasses and a bottle of alcoholic drinks.

Lu Xun watched as his father-in-law poured two glasses of drinks and slid one glass to him.

"Just one glass," Song Chen said. "You are not allowed to drink more."

Song Chen naturally remembered what had happened the last time Lu Xun got drunk. He would not let him drink too much lest his daughter would be upset with him. Moreover, he was worried that this person would utter another nonsense when he got drunk.

"Thank you, Dad." Lu Xun took a sip from his drink and waited for his father-in-law to speak.

"Let's talk," Song Chen said. "I know that we have talked about this last time on the phone but you need to assure me again face to face. What's the situation? That woman, will he appear and cause trouble for everyone again?"

"Dad, don't worry. That woman would not be able to do anything to Xing Xing or anyone else."

Song Chen narrowed his eyes as he urged for Lu Xun to continue.

"The last I heard, that woman's family is taking her to be treated in a mental hospital. She won't be able to come out until she is completely recovered," Lu Xun said.

The last time he talked to the police, he heard that the family was suspecting that Shi An Na's mind was not going right after she was divorced.

After Alan had taken their son, her mental state has gone worst.

Her family thought that it would be better for Shi An Na to stay in the hospital and recuperate. With her condition, it was impossible for her to meet up with her son anyway.

Shi An Na was an only child. Her parents had promised that they would stay with her to give her their support.

Even after knowing what had happened to Shi An Na, Lu Xun did not feel sorry for her.

Initially, it was Shi An Na who had made her decision to marry Alan.

Alan Chen was someone with a lot of money but he did not have much time to spend with the people around him. From the very beginning, Shi An Na knew what she was going into when she chose that path.

However, when he had asked her not to leave him, she had told him that she would not regret it.

Since it was the path she chose and had defended it, Lu Xun did not think that he should feel sorry for her.

Song Chen was shocked when he heard that someone like Shi An Na would exist. She was selfish enough to use her own son to get what she wanted. As a parent, Song Chen could not figure out what was Shi An Na thinking? She should be protecting her child but what she did was only harming him.

Fortunately, Shi An Na would not be able to cause any more trouble.

As a father, he was really worried about his daughter and did not want her to suffer any grievance. Even though she was now married, Song Chen would always protect his daughter.

When the news first broke out, Song Chen was furious. However, it was his daughter who had called to placate him. Before he could call Lu Xun and ask what was going on, his daughter was the first to tell him that the rumor was done to tarnish her husband's reputation.

Song Xing Xing had told him that she trusted Lu Xun and that the man would not lie to her about such a matter. Even though Song Chen had doubted Lu Xun, he trusted that his daughter was smart enough to know what she was doing.

In the end, the only reason Song Chen did not cause a ruckus was because of his daughter.

"You are really lucky," Song Chen said. He took a sip from his drink and looked at his son-in-law with a serious look on his face. "If it was not because your parents come over to talk on your behalf, I would not let you go easily."

Song Chen met his in-laws and liked their humbleness.

It was their son who got into trouble, but the couple had flown all over from C Country just to apologize for their son's past relationship.

Song Chen thought of how the couple has treated his daughter well and decided not to make things too hard for Lu Xun.

The two of them spent their time in Song Chen's office talking and Lu Xun had to assure his father-in-law that he would not let something similar happen again.

Song Chen only let Lu Xun leave when he was satisfied with his explanation.

When Lu Xun returned to the bedroom, Song Xing Xing was looking into the luggage. She heard his movement and smiled when she saw him at the door. However, that smile quickly disappeared when she inhaled a familiar smell.

"You drink?" Song Xing Xing wrinkled her nose.

"Mhm... dad asked me to accompany him for a drink."

Song Xing Xing's expression changed as she recalled what had happened the last time Lu Xun had a few drinks with her father. Her husband really could not drink that much. Song Xing Xing was worried that her husband would say something that makes her father unhappy.

"Don't worry, dad only let me drink a glass."

Song Xing Xing gave her husband a lookover. Seeing that he was not drunk, she finally let out a breath of relief. Her expression changed again as she thought of the reason her father would be looking for Lu Xun.

"What did the two of you talk about?" Song Xing Xing asked.

Lu Xun chuckled. He went closer to his wife and hugged her body close. "Dad only wanted to know what happened."

Song Xing Xing wrapped her arms around his neck. "My dad did not make anything difficult for you right?"

"Of course, not. He was only concerned about us. Don't worry too much." Lu Xun pecked her on the tips of her nose. "Did you go and look at some photos with Mom? How was it" Lu Xun quickly diverted the subject.

Her expression brightened up and she began to tell him about their wedding's preparation. "Mom said, we should go and look at the hall. If there's anything we like to add, we should tell them to the wedding planner. Right. Next week, I should go and try the wedding dress to see if it fits."

Lu Xun continued to listen to his wife and nodded. "Mhm.... I'll listen to you."
