After thinking for a moment, he quickly said, “Honey, let’s go get something to eat first. Once we’re done eating, I will take you for a trip, okay?”

Suri Drew reluctantly agreed, “Alright, let’s do it. I want to eat hot pot, the famous one here.”

Yigol Novak hesitated before replying, “Darling, those aren’t all that delicious, honestly… knowing you’ve tasted what I’ve cooked, I am afraid you will not like it.”

“Their hot pot is the same as the one Penny made. Ordinary people might think it’s really tasty, but I suspect you won’t like it.”

Suri Drew stubbornly replied, “I just want to try it to see why everyone says it’s so good. Don’t worry, I know your cooking is more delicious. I am mentally prepared already.”

Yigol Novak, left with no choice, could only agree. “Alright then, I’ll take you. There are many famous hot pot places around here.”

Only then did Suri Drew’s expression improve a bit.

Suddenly, she thought of Sana Woods.

“Honey, is your sister home these days, or has she already gone to college?” Suri Drew asked.

Yigol Novak replied: “She won’t be able to take her exams until next year, so this year she’s just studying at home. Once we’re home, I’ll show you around and visit relatives. We’ll also go to my grandma’s house, and then you’ll be able to meet her.”

Suri Drew nodded: “Okay, honey, why do I get the feeling you hardly ever communicate with your sister. Aren’t you concerned about her studies?” Yigol Novak casually replied: “We’re only related by marriage. What I’ve done is

quite enough. After all, I’m not her biological brother. If she wants to study, she will. If she doesn’t, there’s really no use in me meddling. Moreover, those with self-respect don’t require excessive interventions, those without, taking care of them won’t make a difference.”

“If she is seriously studying, I should not disturb her. This would give her the time to focus on her studies.”

Suri Drew pouted, “Alright, alright, always with your lofty principles. I contacted her a few days ago. She said she was at school.”

“She told her teachers she wanted to continue studying. Once they knew she was studying at home, they allowed her back to school to study properly in preparation for her high school admission exam. She didn’t want to go home, saying that whenever she’s home, the family tends to nag.”

Yigol Novak nodded. This was one ambitious little girl.

Indeed, if she could study at school it would definitely be better than staying at home.

The family’s mindset was deeply ingrained. If she were home, she would inevitably face endless opposition from family members, which would affect her mood to study.

At school, the study environment is more conducive. She could truly focus on her studies then.

“Also, you mentioned you’d arranged for Jerome Kagan’s father to visit your hometown. How’s it going? If they’re planning a visit, they would likely need to liaise with the local government, which takes time. They still need to visit your home afterwards. Are you just going to let your mom wait endlessly at home?” Suri Drew asked.

Yigol Novak was stumped. Oh, he hadn’t given this much thought.

It turned out that Suri Drew was now very concerned about his family’s matters.

She was becoming more and more wife-like.

With this thought, Yigol Novak said: “Honey, don’t you feel that you’re becoming more and more like a virtuous and caring wife? Why don’t we just forget about visiting other places and just go home instead?”

At Yigol’s mention of this, Suri Drew instantly became nervous: “You dare, just you dare! I’m telling you, if you push me too hard, I’ll take off.”

Yigol broke into a chuckle: “I was just teasing, I won’t take you straight home, don’t worry.”

If he really took her back, not only would Suri feel nervous, Yigol’s parents might get anxious too.

Even though she knew that Yigol was also apprehensive, Suri still took the bait each time he brought it up.

The mere mention of going to Yigol’s house was enough to make her extremely nervous.

Although Yigol had repeatedly stressed that he was just a rural boy and that his family were reasonable people.

But Yigol was too outstanding! She simply could not control her nerves.

Perhaps if he were a less outstanding man, she wouldn’t be so nervous.

The couple arrived at a town. Yigol pointed at a hotpot restaurant and said, “Honey, let’s eat here.”

Suri turned to look. Though it was a small town, it was extremely bustling.

“Alright, let’s go here.”

After getting out of the car, Yigol gentlemanly went to the backseat to open the door for Suri: “Darling, you should use an umbrella.”

Suri looked around, “Honey, can we just park here like this?”

Yigol replied with a smile: “Yes, you can park wherever you like here. There aren’t so many rules.”

Puzzled, Suri got out of the car and followed Yigol into the hotpot restaurant.

From the outside, the atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant seemed good, but as soon as they entered, a blast of hot air hit them. Suri stepped inside and immediately retreated back out.

Not only Suri, even Yigol felt the discomfort from the heat.

Although Yigol was from the countryside, he had never been to places like this. Back in the day, he was a poor loser and didn’t even have the means to enter such places.

Seeing Suri uncomfortable, Yigol quickly led her away, “Let’s go to another restaurant. Let’s find one that’s not so crowded.”

“I’m sorry, honey… I just…” Suri tried to explain, feeling that her display of distaste at the restaurant seemed a bit too delicate.

In reality, before leaving, she had already mentally prepared herself to endure a bit of messiness or disorder in Yigol’s hometown.

But when it was time to face it, she couldn’t tolerate it.

“It’s not that I despise it here, it’s just that…”

Yigol quickly consoled her: “Darling, it’s okay. It’s not just you, I felt uncomfortable as well. It was perfectly normal for you to react that way. There are many open-air ones that aren’t as stuffy. Let’s find one with a better environment. ”

Suri looked around. Indeed, there were many open-air dining places that appeared to have a decent environment.

Even though such places were a bit of a challenge for her, they didn’t seem so unbearable.

No matter what, they should be much better than the previous restaurant.

“Thank you, honey.” Suri, arm-in-arm with Yigol, gave a sweet smile, which put him at ease.

Yigol responded with a gentle smile of his own.

Being a city-bred lady, Suri lived a rather upscale life. Despite having experienced her fair share of hardship along the way, her environment has always been comparatively high-end..
