I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 756 - 451: I’ll Be Good to Both Your Daughters

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

Half an hour later, the sudden sound of the doorbell startled Lih Meng, who was kneeling on the floor.

"Why are they back so soon? Thank goodness I didn't tell Mom and Dad the house password…"

After recovering from her fright, Lih Meng felt relieved, quickly got up, walked into the bathroom, washed her hands, and splashed some cold water on her flushed cheeks.

After carefully checking her appearance and outfit in the mirror to ensure there were no major issues, she finally stepped out to open the door.

"Why did it take so long?"

Loo Zhen walked in, changing her shoes as she asked.

"I was just taking a nap."

Lih Meng's response was evasive, and she quickly changed the topic, "Why are you back so early?"

Loo Zhen smiled and said, "Your dad already had a target in mind. After the test drive, he made the decision."

"What car is it?"

"The AITO M9—your dad's dream car."

Loo Zhen teased as she glanced at Lih Shenghua, "He came in all righteous, but the moment Shen brought out the car, he couldn't resist and was grinning like an idiot."

Being someone who cared about his dignity, Lih Shenghua immediately refuted with a stern face, "Who was grinning like an idiot? If you can't use idioms properly, then don't use them."

Loo Zhen chuckled, deciding to spare his pride, then glanced around and asked, "Where's your sister?"

"Probably still napping," Lih Meng replied somewhat awkwardly.

"It's already past three, still napping? Oh well, that makes sense. Pregnant women do need more sleep,"

Loo Zhen muttered. But Lih Shenghua caught something unusual in Lih Meng's expression and asked, "What about Shen Yuan?"

As a seasoned detective, he was highly attuned to microexpressions and immediately made connections to various possibilities.

Loo Zhen shot him a look, "That's a silly question. The son-in-law must be napping with the daughter, obviously."

Lih Shenghua opened his mouth to speak but then hesitated, like a mute swallowing bitter medicine—unable to express the anguish in his heart. He always viewed his daughter as his precious treasure, and even now, he couldn't bring himself to fully accept the fact that she now belonged to another man.

The newly purchased AITO M9 suddenly felt less appealing.

Seeing the defeated expression on Old Lih's face, Loo Zhen couldn't help but comment, "Isn't it a good thing your daughter found a man she can depend on? Why are you sulking like this?"

"You wouldn't understand. You wouldn't understand."

Lih Shenghua took a sip from his thermos, the tea tasting as bitter as herbal medicine.

They say mothers-in-law only grow fonder of their sons-in-law over time; Lih Shenghua certainly didn't expect Loo Zhen to understand his feelings.

"Don't pull a face like that later when he comes out. Remember, he gave you a car. Beggars can't be choosers," Loo Zhen reminded him.

"Got it, got it."

Lih Shenghua sighed inwardly. Even his wife was calling the man 'son-in-law' at every turn. What choice did he have?

On second thought, Mengmeng's slightly uneasy expression earlier was probably because… well, they were sleeping in the same room.

Old Lih glanced at his younger daughter and felt some relief. At least Mengmeng hadn't found her "other half" yet.

Hmm, waiting a bit longer wouldn't hurt.

Inside the master bedroom.

Lih Xiao had also been startled earlier. She noticed the door hadn't been fully closed and shivered at the thought. If her parents had seen what happened, she'd never be able to show her face again.

She quickly threw on her clothes, wiped away the stains on the bed sheets, and stepped into the en suite bathroom to clean up.

"Phew!"

She felt lucky the bedroom had its own bathroom. Otherwise, she would've had to leave the room to wash up.

Shen Yuan lay on the bed, bored out of his mind, in a state of complete tranquility, having entered "Saint Mode."

"Let's nap a bit; dinner's still far away,"

he thought. He wasn't planning to leave tonight. Instead, he figured he'd sleep here with Lih Xiao—it had been a while since he last shared a bed with Teacher Lih, and he missed her "two cafeterias."

Pity he hadn't had a taste earlier.

After freshening up, Lih Xiao walked out of the bathroom and saw Shen Yuan deep asleep, sunlight illuminating his side profile, making his features appear even more chiseled. There was even a faint smile lingering on his lips.

"This guy, even sleeping looks so smug."

Lih Xiao sat down on the bed, quietly observing his handsome face, her gaze soft as water.

That evening, Ji Ya had arranged for a private team of housekeepers to help out. From then on, the housekeeper would be responsible for preparing three meals a day, snacks, and daily chores.

For the time being, the housekeeper wouldn't stay overnight, as the two sisters weren't quite accustomed to it yet.

The professional housekeeper's culinary skills were naturally impeccable. Loo Zhen marveled at the luxury of having money—the kind of lifestyle where one could sit back and enjoy everything was something she could never have dreamed of in her youth.

"Xiaoxiao is so fortunate."

With such a perfect son-in-law, Loo Zhen couldn't help but worry about Lih Meng's future partner. If the difference between them was too great, it might become problematic.

"Shen Yuan, do you have any cousins or nephews in your family who are similar to you in terms of qualifications?" Loo Zhen suddenly asked during dinner.

Shen Yuan thought about it, "The older ones are already married with kids, and the younger ones are still in school. But I must say, finding someone with qualifications similar to mine… that's a bit tricky. You know my situation."

The son-in-law subtly bragged, but Loo Zhen didn't mind. Young and accomplished, it was normal to be a little arrogant.

"What about someone close? Any like that?" she asked again.

Shen Yuan seemed to pick up on something, glancing oddly at Lih Meng, "Mom, you're not thinking about setting up Lih Meng, are you?"

Lih Meng, focused on eating, looked up upon hearing this, and protested, "Mom, I'm still young, you..."

Loo Zhen cut her off immediately, "What do you mean 'still young'? You're already 25! Most of your classmates are married with two kids by now. You're the only one still single. If you're not anxious, then I am."

Lih Shenghua's breath hitched. Xiaoxiao had only just become pregnant, and now she wanted to send Mengmeng off?

He couldn't openly object too strongly, so after a few moments, he cautiously replied, "These things depend on fate. When the time comes, it'll naturally happen."
