Chapter 640 - 640: Qin Garden
In the end, Lin Fan decided to visit the Qin Family. After all, it would be quite impolite not to go when the elders had invited him!Seeing Lin Fan agree, Qin Si Xuan was as excited as a little swallow in springtime, a beaming smile filled with happiness plastered on her face!
Afterward, Lin Fan and Qin Si Xuan bid farewell to Director An, politely declining the wrap-up party he had arranged. Lin Fan personally bought some gifts and drove together to the Qin Family, though on the way, Qin Si Xuan called home in advance and asked them to send a car out to meet them.
Initially, Lin Fan was puzzled, wondering why they couldn't just drive in directly. But when he arrived at a large estate known as "Qin Garden," he finally understood what kind of place this was!
The Qin Garden covered a vast area. Although it wasn't overly luxurious, the security was very stringent. The entire estate was enclosed by an iron fence, with two soldiers standing guard at the entrance, their eyes sweeping around like radar, leaving nothing unchecked!
Though Lin Fan knew Qin Si Xuan's background, he was still surprised upon seeing the Qin Garden in person. While it was a bit lacking compared to the Dragon Garden, having such a grand estate marked it as unlike any other military family's residence.
At that moment, the camouflage-painted military vehicle Qin Si Xuan had called for was parked outside Qin Garden. As Lin Fan and Qin Si Xuan parked their car and stepped out, a handsome young man exited the military vehicle, warmly greeting them!
"Miss, the madam sent me to welcome you," the young man said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang," Qin Si Xuan expressed her gratitude. This young man was Zhang Lin, the captain of the Qin Family's security team, who assisted with many chores and was one of the most intimate outsiders to the Qin Family.
Upon hearing Qin Si Xuan's gratitude, Zhang Lin was somewhat flustered, scratching the back of his head with embarrassment, and replied in a straightforward manner, "It's my duty."
Then Zhang Lin turned to Lin Fan, smiling, and said, "You're the young master, right?"
"Young master?"
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
Qin Si Xuan's pretty face flushed red. Standing at her own doorstep, Qin Si Xuan was a little embarrassed, playfully chiding, "Brother Zhang, don't talk nonsense."
"Isn't it? Why else would the madam have asked me to welcome both the miss and the young master?" Zhang Lin asked, filled with confusion.
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Xuan's face turned even redder. Lin Fan, willing to help her conceal her identity for the sake of her dreams and stardom, didn't expect her mother, with her big mouth, to make this matter so public.
Lin Fan smiled silently, seeing Qin Si Xuan too shy to speak. He extended his hand first to Zhang Lin and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Lin Fan."
"Zhang Lin, captain of the Qin Family's security team," Zhang Lin replied enthusiastically as he shook Lin Fan's hand, showing no sign of arrogance.
"Brother Zhang, it's getting late. Let's hurry along!" Qin Si Xuan was worried Zhang Lin might mention Lin Fan's identity again, so she spoke up.
"Sure, sure, the madam has already prepared a big table of dishes. The aroma has been making my mouth water. Mr. Lin, please, get in the car," Zhang Lin said with a smile.
Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony and climbed into the car with the gifts first, whereas Qin Si Xuan revealed a face full of confusion. When did her exceptional mother learn to cook? She was known for not lifting a finger in the kitchen, except for maybe making fried rice!
Thinking it over, Qin Si Xuan decided she had to personally go home and see for herself, so she got into the car!
Even though it was the Qin Family's own military vehicle, they still needed to pass the inspection of the two soldiers at the entrance before being allowed into Qin Garden!
Entering Qin Garden, on both sides were cultivated lands, where numerous vegetables and other plants were grown. The Qin Family and its soldiers all ate these naturally green, self-grown vegetables!
After traversing the cultivated land, a neatly trimmed lawn emerged. Despite it being winter, the lush green grass was still vibrant. Passing the lawn, a two-story building slowly came into Lin Fan's view.
This wasn't a mansion; it was a simple two-story building with a large footprint. From the exterior, it gave little away about its luxury, if any.
At this time, Liu Sitian, wearing a soft cotton jacket and specially dressed up, was waiting at the door. Upon seeing the military vehicle approach, her eyes lit up with joy.
As Lin Fan and Qin Si Xuan got off the car, Liu Sitian immediately greeted them with a smile, "Ah, Lin, you're finally here. Auntie has been waiting so eagerly. Wow, you look more handsome every day!"
"Thank you, Auntie," Lin Fan replied with an awkward smile. Though due to filming, the makeup artist had styled his hair neatly, it wasn't like a few days' absence would make one noticeably more handsome, right?
Furthermore, Lin Fan felt a bit anxious towards this exceptional future mother-in-law!
Was she going to drug him into devotedness with the meal she had made?
If the Qin Family was just an ordinary family, Lin Fan would be thrilled. But seeing the Qin Family's current stance, he dared not entertain such thoughts. What if Qin Si Xuan's dad found out and hauled him to the wall for half an hour before releasing him without charges?
"Auntie, I bought you some gifts. These are good for the skin." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Liu Sitian, hearing that it was good for the skin, immediately accepted the gift excitedly, cradling it in her hands, and said, "Oh, Lin, there was no need to bring anything, but I love this gift."
"As long as Auntie likes it," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Confronted with this remarkable mother-in-law, Lin Fan decided he would only do four things today: eat more, eat less vegetables, drink no alcohol, and speak less... truly out of caution!
Subsequently, Liu Sitian quickly winked at Qin Si Xuan, signaling her, "You silly girl, Lin Fan has been standing at the door for ages, quickly invite him in."
Qin Si Xuan rolled her eyes helplessly, clearly thinking, "You're the one clutching the gifts like they're your prized possession, not letting go!"
Nevertheless, Qin Si Xuan was the first to say, "Let's go inside!"
"Yes, yes, let's quickly head indoors. I've prepared a big table full of dishes!" Liu Sitian also extended the invitation.
Then, the three of them entered the building one after the other. The outward appearance of the building may have been outdated, but the interior was nothing short of magnificent—a genuine traditional Chinese decoration style. Almost all the furniture was wooden, even redwood, which hinted at the expensive cost of such a renovation!
Liu Sitian directly led Lin Fan to the dining room, where he found the table laden with various delicious dishes and a soup, very sumptuous.
However, upon seeing the entire table full of familiar dishes, Qin Si Xuan's pretty face immediately twisted in expression!
