NOVEL NEXT Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Pressuring to Get Married
```
Hearing this, Lin Yi just nodded; for him, this was not a big deal.
As Dad Han was about to leave, Lin Yi immediately stood up and blocked his path, saying, "Dad! Having worked so hard, you should stay and have a meal here before you go…"
Upon hearing this, Dad Han immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, it's really too busy over there. I'll just have a quick bite and then I need to head over. Remember to pick up Han Xuemei."
Lin Yi nodded and then saw Dad Han off before picking up his phone to make a call.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yi arranged an apartment. He didn't like the idea of Han Xue not staying at their home, especially since Han Xuemei and Han Xuewei didn't get along.
He didn't want to cause Han Xuewei any trouble, so he had Han Xuemei stay somewhere else.
At this moment, Han Xuemei was still packing her luggage. She saw the message from Dad Han on her phone that Lin Yi would pick her up, and a smile curled on her lips.
Once she truly arrived at the Lin Family's home, everything would go the way she wanted. She just hadn't anticipated that Dad Han had no intention to let her go to the Lin Family's home.
...
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu was also very troubled because her parents had attended Lin Yi's wedding banquet. That segment of the video had been filmed and somehow ended up on her parents' phones.
Now that they were back, with strict household rules as usual, she had to report everything to them.
So now, facing Qin Xiaoxu, the elderly couple directly asked who that boy was and if they knew him.
Hearing these words made Qin Xiaoxu's head ache. She felt extremely helpless, remembering how, when she had an early love affair as a child, her parents had also shown a gossipy demeanor.
She wasn't sure if they were interested in her love life or what, but eventually, she became resistant to such matters. But now she was no longer young, and naturally her parents very much hoped she would find someone to marry soon.
But at this moment, Qin Xiaoxu felt distressed; naturally, she couldn't possibly reveal her situation with Lin Jie.
She could only attempt to explain helplessly, yet her explanations sounded so powerless in front of her parents. Even she didn't believe them, but what else could she do?
The elderly couple was very curious, moving closer to Qin Xiaoxu and directly saying, "Actually, sometimes you should take initiative, right? The young man I saw was rather decent."
Hearing her parents' concern, Qin Xiaoxu grew a bit panicked and stepped back.
Her parents had no intention of letting her off the hook, continuing, "You really need to seize the opportunity. We're worried about you. Think about your age now; you can't always be staying at home. Yes, you should go out more often, sometimes with young men…"
As expected, the conversation had turned back to her being single. But at this moment, Qin Xiaoxu felt utterly helpless, and then stood up, "You both just rest assured, I absolutely won't have trouble finding someone to marry, no more questions!"
The elderly couple was still unwilling to give up and immediately responded, "If you know you won't have trouble getting married, you should be more confident and take a direct approach."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was even more at a loss, and she patted her head before escaping to her room.

"This child really knows how to dodge the topic every time it's brought up…"
The Qin family's parents were worried that Qin Xiaoxu was too naive and could be deceived by others, considering how strictly they had raised her from childhood.
As a result, Qin Xiaoxu's social circle had become very small; she hardly interacted with boys outside, and over time, developed a tendency to keep to herself.

When Lin Yi went to pick up Han Xuemei, she was dressed very elegantly. Her outfit was quite bold and avant-garde, and she stood by the roadside with a suitcase in tow.
As Lin Yi drove up to her, Han Xuemei waved at him and flashed an enchanting smile, saying quite openly, "Brother-in-law, you've finally arrived."
As she spoke, Han Xuemei went directly to the passenger seat and took a seat, prompting a clear look of displeasure from Lin Yi.
Moreover, Han Xuemei was trying too hard to cozy up to him. Lin Yi felt they were not very close, yet Han Xuemei acted as though they were very intimate, which only increased his aversion.
Lin Yi didn't respond to her, simply driving in silence, but Han Xuemei was very keen on starting a conversation. She talked on and on by herself.
However, Han Xuemei's words did not catch Lin Yi's attention at all. He had no intention of engaging with her, leaving her somewhat helpless until she mentioned Han Xuewei and the children.
It was only then that Lin Yi would occasionally respond with a word or two.
But Han Xuemei was obviously very eager and couldn't wait to build a good relationship with Lin Yi, so she chattered nonstop throughout the ride. Lin Yi, finding it annoying, finally spoke up coldly, "Sorry, I'm driving. Can you just be quiet for a while!"
Lin Yi said coolly. Hearing this, Han Xuemei froze in place, fumbling with her phone, her head bowed in embarrassment.
But soon, as if she had found another topic, Han Xuemei reached for her bag and said, "Brother-in-law, I spent a long time at the mall, picked out lots of gifts for the little ones. We can bring them over to play with, they'll definitely be happy."
Lin Yi glanced at her impassively and shook his head, "There's no need to buy anything. I'll take you straight to the apartment. The conditions and amenities there are very good; you can stay there for now."
At these words, Han Xuemei showed a look of surprise, nearly dropping her phone, her eyes fixed on Lin Yi as she asked, "Brother-in-law, aren't we going back to your house?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi just frowned and didn't look directly at her.
He spoke his mind bluntly, "No! It's the same if you stay at the apartment. I think it's inappropriate and inconvenient for you to stay at our house."
Lin Yi said outright, his voice cold, as if he was not inclined to spare Han Xuemei's feelings.
Instantly, Han Xuemei's expression froze, unsure whether to keep looking at her phone or respond to Lin Yi's curt words.
In a moment, an awkward silence fell between the two, but while Lin Yi seemed indifferent, Han Xuemei was visibly anxious.
