Chapter 486: Father-in-Law's True Purpose

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

That single sentence instantly scared Jiang Muye silly. "Huh?"

He was entirely unprepared for the person calling him now to be his Father-in-Law.

He definitely had to pick up a call from his Father-in-Law. There was no way around it. It was important for both him and Leng Ruoli, especially since his Father-in-Law's current progress with Xiang Shan also concerned how happy he and Leng Ruoli would be in the future.

"Hello, Father-in-Law." Holding back his ragged breathing, Jiang Muye answered the call.

"Are you okay right now?"

Father Leng's words left Jiang Muye not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He looked at Leng Ruoli beside him, breathtaking in her revealed springtime beauty.

Something was going on, alright. How could nothing be going on?

But Jiang Muye definitely couldn't lack the emotional intelligence to say that something was.

Did he still want to marry his Father-in-Law's daughter or not?!

"I'm fine, what's going on?" Jiang Muye felt a bit strange.

His Father-in-Law wasn't the type to be so bored that he'd contact him for no reason. Something must have happened.

Could something have happened on the way while his Father-in-Law was driving Xiang Shan home?

While Jiang Muye was puzzling over it, Father Leng was clearly a bit embarrassed. "Do you know how to play King-tier Player?"

"I do, of course I do. I'm already at King-tier, thirty stars."

In truth, what Jiang Muye played more was PUBG, or Peacekeeper Elite. He also played LoL.

"That's great, then teach me. Give me some lessons." Father Leng's request instantly left Jiang Muye dumbstruck.

"Huh?"

Father Leng said, "It's my fault for bragging in front of Xiang Shan. I don't know what's gotten into her, but she suddenly wanted to learn King-tier Player. I said I knew how to play, and she said we should game together sometime. But right now I only know that King-tier Player is a game. How am I even supposed to get started?"

"This…" Jiang Muye was a bit troubled. "First of all, starting from your rank, you'd probably be Silver. You can't play ranked with me, only normal matches."

"So what should I do? If Xiang Shan really does look for me, aren't I going to be exposed? I worked so hard to set up a game date with Xiang Shan. I was thinking gaming could improve our relationship."

Father Leng's words left Jiang Muye feeling immense pressure. He looked again at the beautiful, alluring Leng Ruoli and felt even more that he was to be pitied.

Sigh. Now that I have such a beautiful girlfriend, I can only look and not taste. On such a fine night, all I can do is play games. And the point isn't even carrying a girl, it's carrying my Father-in-Law.

Who else had this experience?

But for the sake of his and his girlfriend's future, he'd go all out!

"Okay, I'll play with you." Jiang Muye said readily.

Father Leng was clearly delighted to hear it. Jiang Muye got online and taught Father Leng to register, then started the beginner tutorial.

Leng Ruoli leaned against Jiang Muye's shoulder, watching Jiang Muye guide her father through the basics hand in hand, and broke into a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Muye pointed a finger at Leng Ruoli's forehead and gave it a light poke.

Leng Ruoli gave a lovely smile. "It's just so unbelievable. My dad has never been interested in these kinds of games, but now he's pulling out every trick to chase my mom, even dragging you, his son-in-law, in to assist."

"Hey, who am I helping here? I'm helping you and me, stopping your mom from continuing to fall for me. The best outcome would be to redirect the flames onto your dad. And now you're gloating at me." Jiang Muye directly took a bite of Leng Ruoli's fragrant, lovely neck.

Leng Ruoli gasped, then let out a reproachful cry. "I'm trying too, aren't I? I'm keeping you company. Don't bite there. It's going to be hot tomorrow, I can't wear a turtleneck."

"So you're afraid of letting others see the strawberry mark," Jiang Muye smacked his lips. "I'm not happy."

"What's there to be unhappy about? You sure wouldn't want someone staring at your fiancée's neck all the time, right?" Leng Ruoli rested her head against Jiang Muye's shoulder.

Jiang Muye grinned. "Fair enough."

"Son-in-law, son-in-law, which hero should I pick now?" Father Leng had already unmuted his mic at this point, spinning around completely like a headless fly.

Although Jiang Muye felt that Father Leng popping up at this moment was a bit of a mood-killer, he'd promised his Father-in-Law, so he'd help all the way through.

"Father-in-Law, you play support or a tank, leave the damage role to me, I'll play marksman."

"Alright," After hearing Jiang Muye's explanation, Father Leng decided to play Cai Wenji. "I'll play Cai Wenji, I can even heal in place."

"Sure."

But once the match started, Jiang Muye noticed something was wrong.

"Father-in-Law."

"Hm?"

"What did you buy a jungler's knife for?"

"I'm jungling! Look, my economy is so high!" Father Leng said smugly.

Cai Wenji jungling, number one under heaven!

"…Then what's the assassin doing?" Jiang Muye was speechless.

The assassin replied coldly and mercilessly, "Going AFK. Surrender at three."

Jiang Muye: "…"

Father Leng, dragged back from the jungle by Jiang Muye, could only sulkily buy a support gem.

Watching Father Leng frantically clear lane minions, Jiang Muye quietly added, "As a support, you need to help me develop. Right now you've cleared my entire minion wave, it's hard for me to develop."

Father Leng: "…I'm going into seclusion."

Jiang Muye os: The one going into seclusion is me.

Leng Ruoli was laughing sweetly off to the side, like a little caterpillar.

"You're still laughing!" Jiang Muye reached out and grabbed at Leng Ruoli's abdomen, and she laughed even harder, curling up.

"Hahahaha, spare me, I just think your interactions with my dad are too adorable."

Jiang Muye shot Leng Ruoli a sidelong glance. "Right now I'm carrying a teammate like a pig."

"I'm going to tattle, you said my dad is a pig teammate!" Leng Ruoli beamed brightly. Just as she was about to unmute her mic, Jiang Muye covered her mouth.

Acting on instinct, Jiang Muye pinned Leng Ruoli's hands above her head and asked sneakily, "Still going to tattle?"

Looking at the now utterly tempting Jiang Muye, her little face flushed bright red. "I wouldn't dare."

"That's more like it." Having stolen a kiss, Jiang Muye was thoroughly pleased.

Then Father Leng's voice rang out. "Hey, why aren't you moving? Did you think I was too noob so you went AFK?"

Jiang Muye: "…" Not at all, I was just pinning down your daughter.

But Jiang Muye couldn't very well say it out loud, otherwise he really would get beaten up by his Father-in-Law.

Carrying his Father-in-Law, Jiang Muye still climbed the ranks easily. It was a low-tier match, after all.

Father Leng was a business elite, after all, and grasped some of it. But he'd rarely touched online games, so fully getting the hang of it would need time.

Seeing it was getting late and Jiang Muye was still carrying Father Leng up the ranks, Leng Ruoli sneakily got up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" Leng Ruoli's collar was pulled, and she was dragged back to Jiang Muye.

Leng Ruoli giggled. "I'm going to make you a midnight snack."

That single sentence scared Jiang Muye so much he nearly dropped his phone.

If Leng Ruoli made a midnight snack, it would be Dark Cuisine.

He'd probably have to call an ambulance to get into the ICU!

"Better not, I'm not hungry." Jiang Muye shook his head at Leng Ruoli.

But the moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Muye's stomach started rumbling.

Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye with a smile. "That's 'not hungry'?"

"Alright, I'm a bit hungry." Jiang Muye admitted it, then said to Leng Ruoli, "Can we just order takeout?"
