Chu Xiuhuang: [What the hell are you busy with on the freaking weekend, fourth brother?]
Lu Chenyu: [Catching up on new episodes.]
Nangong Ci: [Fourth Brother, youâre such a homebody! No wonder youâre still single at the ripe old age of twenty-five!]
Lu Chenyu is indeed a homebody, with his greatest pleasure being researching various recipes, playing with dogs, binge-watching dramas, following doujinshi, playing with LEGO, gamingâ¦
Even when hanging out with people, he still remains silent and aloof, like a silent gourd.
Chu Xiuhuang was furious, [Your national leaders arenât as busy as you guys! @Huo Jingshen]
After pinging someone several times, Huo Jingshen finally replied, [Having dinner with old Gu. Ping me again, and Iâm leaving the group.]
Gu Huaiâan: [Are you coming, Chu Second?]
Just as Chu Xiuhuang was about to replyâ¦
Gu Huaiâan: [No girlfriends allowed.]
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
Damn it!
Was everyone making fun of him because he didnât have a girlfriend?
He quickly replied, [Tell me the address. Iâll bring her!]
Soon, Gu Huaiâan threw an address at him.
It was the Nancheng Grand Hotel in the city center, where you can watch Beijing Opera and listen to dramas. Many celebrities have had their weddings there in recent years, so itâs quite famous.
Damn, they really knew how to enjoy life.
Chu Xiuhuang immediately forwarded the address to Shi Huan, and then sent a message, [Meet me here in half an hour.]
After Shi Huan replied with a âOkayâ, Young Master Chu perked up, his mood finally improving.
Well, as a man, he should be the active one. Girls are shy, which is understandable. Hmm.
**
In the private room of the Nancheng Hotel at this moment.
Gu Huaiâan put down his phone, âAhuang is coming with his girlfriend in a bit.â
âOh?â Huo Jingshen was noncommittal, sliding his beautiful finger across the tablet, âWhat would you like to drink, babe?â
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwanâs eyes lit up, âLafite!â
Gu Huaiâan raised an eyebrow.
As expected, Huo Jingshen immediately said, âIâve ordered mango juice for you to share with Haohao.â
Obviously displeased, Su Wanwan gave him a stare down, âIf youâve already ordered, then why bother asking me?â
âI just wanted to test if you could be responsible for your own actions. It seems like youâre not.â Huo Jingshen spoke with a shameless grin.
Su Wanwan pouted and stood up, âThen you go ahead and order. Iâm going to the bathroom.â
âSister Wanwan, Iâll come with you.â Gu Haohao, dressed in a princess dress, immediately followed.
Gu Huaiâan picked her up from the high chair. The little girl immediately grabbed Su Wanwanâs hand.
Since their previous dinner, this little girl seemed to really like Su Wanwan. First, through Gu Huaiâan and Huo Jingshen, she got her contact information. After adding her on WeChat, she often chatted with her and wanted to play together.
But Su Wanwan has been busy preparing for exams recently and has had no time. She wouldnât have attended this dinner if it wasnât for Huo Jingshenâs invitation.
**
When they got to the hallway, Gu Haohao asked her, âSister Wanwan, can I come and play with you during the winter break?â
âOf course.â
âGreat! My big brother said he would take me to Disney during the winter break. Iâll bring you a gift.â
Su Wanwan smiled, âYou donât have to bring me anything. As long as you enjoy yourself.â
âWanwan?â
A familiar voice suddenly echoed.
Su Wanwan looked up and saw two familiar figures standing in front of her.
Huo Zhexi and Bai Ruwei.
They were indoors and holding their coats with gift boxes in their hands, as if they were visiting relatives and friends. Both were obviously meticulously dressed.
Bai Ruwei was wearing a decent white dress, with exquisite light makeup on her face, and styled hair. She looked gentle and likeable at first glance.
Huo Zhexi was also in a rare suit and tie, except that his red hair stood out like a sore thumb, coupled with his indifferent expression, he looked like a little hooligan.
To be honest, the two of them looked very mismatched together!
âHey punk, what are you doing here?â Huo Zhexi asked gruffly.
Su Wanwan couldnât be bothered with him.
On top of that, she had lost all positive impressions of Bai Ruwei since she found out she had used her before.
She nodded slightly, planning to take Gu Haohao and leave.
However, Huo Zhexi blocked her path, âHey punk, are you deaf? Iâm talking to you!â
âZhexi, donât be like this.â Bai Ruwei quickly pulled him back and greeted Su Wanwan with a smile, âWanwan, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner too?â
âYeah.â
âTell me, are you here to cause trouble again?â Huo Zhexi started ranting.
âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â Su Wanwan frowned impatiently, âMake way, good dogs donât block the path!â
âYou littleââ
âZhexi!â Bai Ruwei held him back, âStop causing a scene! Remember we agreed to meet for lunch at noon. We should hurry to the private room, I donât want to make a bad impression on your parents for being late.â
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhexi, although still angry, obediently backed off.
Su Wanwan quickly took Gu Haohao away.
So, today is the day Huo Zhexi introduces Bai Ruwei to his parents.
But why are they meeting at the restaurant?
â¦
This question also somewhat bothered Bai Ruwei.
She had thought that since she was meeting her boyfriendâs parents, according to local customs, they should meet at their house, and she even picked out gifts for the occasion.
However, Huo Zhexi said that his mother had booked a room here, and this hotel is quite famous in Nancheng. Getting a reservation requires a lot of time in advance.
Bai Ruwei had no choice but to accept.
After all, her previous meeting with Mingzhu wasnât pleasant, so she had to present herself well today.
