Chapter 20 - Lin Zheng (2) (1/2)

Lin Zheng smiled back at Wang Luo Hai and accepted their greeting. He let them sit and looked at both Yao Ying and Yao Ling.

”Is this your new son and daughter-in-law?” Lin Zheng asked bluntly.

Wang Luo Hai laughed, ”Yes, they are. Yao Ying and Yao Ling.”

”Hmph! How come old fox like you have the luck to meet such a talented couple?” Lin Zheng said in a serious voice.

Yao Ying and Yao Ling stiffened. This man's voice held a certain dangerous feeling and it made them secretly start sweating. What would happen if someone offended this man? Yao Ying and Yao Ling couldn't read his emotions at all – whether he approved them or disliked them.

Wang Luo Hai just laughed at Lin Zheng, ”Stop it! Don't joke with such a serious face! You will scare the children!”

Yao Ying and Yao Ling looked at each other. Was General Lin joking? How could someone joke with such a serious voice and tone? The general's face looked so solemn and composed. Since when people do joke with a straight face like that?

Yao Ying whispered to her, ”Do you remember? Why I laughed when you smile like a white lotus? You look like him.”

Yao Ling pinched Yao Ying's hand and glared. He really had the gut to tease and annoy her. Hmph! Yao Ying knew he already annoyed Yao Ling enough, so he just laughed inwardly. To the two old men though, their whispering looked like a sweet couple.

”Don't mind him! He usually has facial paralysis. He always makes a joke with his boring face.” Wang Luo Hai joked around.

Yao Ling scolded Yao Ying inside her mind. 'Did he also think I had facial paralysis? Hmph!' She glared at Yao Ying. Yao Ying seemed to understand what's inside her mind and his mouth slightly curled up. His wife was fun to tease.

”Er… may I ask a question?” Yao Ling asked carefully.

”Sure.” Lin Zheng answered.

”Where do you know each other? Usually, military and merchant are rarely in contact, right?”

Wang Luo Hai didn't mind explaining to them. ”Ah… that's true. We met way back then and we grew up together. We accidentally met…”

Lin Zheng put in his thought, ”The worst day of my life.”
