The standard three-question sequence, and the one asking the questions was still that heavily made-up woman.

"one day!"

"One month!"

They answered at the same time, but after answering, they stared at each other blankly.

"Are you stupid? It's definitely a month!"

After making eye contact, Liu Zhaodi frantically gave him meaningful glances.

“A day is fine too, just say it was love at first sight!” Jiang Yuan explained with his eyes.

"My dad and the others will definitely think it's too hasty, and then they'll ask all sorts of questions, and then we'll be exposed, won't we?"

"That's precisely because it's easy to be exposed, that's why we only use one day! The fact that we dare to say it's only one day proves that we are honest enough and trust each other enough, and also because the time we spend together is short, there won't be any signs of being exposed!"

In the brief second of eye contact, Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi had already gone through two rounds of eye contact.

"It's alright, it's alright, the food will be served soon, please take your seats!" Liu Shuangshuang immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Shuangshuang, you don't understand! Increasing mutual understanding is extremely beneficial to married life. We're also thinking about Zhaodi and helping her find a husband!" the heavily made-up woman persisted.

“Aunt Pang, do you know the saying that minding your own business can help you live a long and healthy life?” Liu Zhaodi pulled out a chair and sat down with a clatter.

"How dare you speak to your Aunt Pang like that!" Liu Hongyuan raised his voice and scolded with a frown.

"It's my sister's birthday today, I won't argue with you!" Liu Zhaodi pulled Jiang Yuan to sit down, then said casually, "Darling, sit down, I'll feed you some fruit!"

"Liu Zhaodi, your parents are only doing this for your own good. How dare you speak so rudely!" The slightly older girl next to Pang Jie stood up, her tone clearly hostile.

"I'm sorry, that's your mother, not mine!" Liu Zhaodi replied calmly, continuing to feed Jiang Yuan fruit pieces.

"No wonder, it's understandable that she's so ill-mannered!" The girl gave Liu Zhaodi a defiant look.

"Liu Mu, say that again!"

Liu Zhaodi's gaze was like a sword, fixed on Liu Mu who was standing there.

"Third sister, today is eldest sister's birthday, stop fooling around!"

The girl next to Pang Jie, who was a year or two younger, tugged at Liu Mu's sleeve, trying to stop them from arguing.

"Mu'er, don't mention this again!" Liu Hongyuan said with a gloomy face.

"Tch, she found a useless boyfriend, does she really think she's found true love?" Liu Mu deliberately tried to irritate Liu Zhaodi by changing the subject as he sat down.

Anger flashed across Liu Zhaodi's face, and just as she was about to lose control of her rage, Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed her fist.

"Don't get angry, it won't look good on your older sister if you ruin the family dinner!"

"But that's what she said about you!"

Jiang Yuan shrugged, indicating that he didn't care. "Sometimes it's gentlemanly to give way a little!"

"Darling, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!" Liu Zhaodi said coquettishly.

The two acted like a real couple, without any flaws. However, it was precisely because of their superb acting skills that Pang Jie and the others became increasingly proud.

"Oh, right, eldest sister!" Liu Mu suddenly stood up. She glanced at Liu Zhaodi and then continued, "Eldest sister has always loved the guzheng. This time, for your birthday, I, your third sister, found a guzheng to please you. I hope you like it!"

After speaking, a guzheng with a purplish-red main body was taken out, and the height of the wooden frame was also modified to fit Liu Shuangshuang's wheelchair perfectly.

"Eldest sister, this is a guzheng that Third Sister extracted from the core. It can be played and sung to pass the time, and it can also be used as a weapon!" Liu Mu stood proudly in front of Liu Shuangshuang.

"Thank you, Third Sister!" Liu Mu's fair and slender fingers stroked the strings of the zither, but there was a hidden emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

"Little sister, give your gift to your older sister too!" Liu Mu said provocatively, glancing at Liu Zhaodi.

"Happy birthday, big sister! This is a gift for you!"

Liu Wan presented a beautiful jade box. She did not have any energy fluctuations, so she should just be an ordinary person who could not awaken her spiritual power. The fact that she could take out such an item clearly meant that it was prepared by someone else.

"Thank you, little sister!" Liu Shuangshuang gently touched Liu Wan's face. This gentle little sister was the one most like her.

The two had just finished delivering the gifts when footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Mu'er!"

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Mu's expression turned arrogant, and she said smugly, "He's my boyfriend!"

"Quickly invite Young Master Liang in!" Liu Hongyuan's expression changed when he heard Liu Mu say that he was her boyfriend, and he looked as if he himself was about to get up.

"Woman, didn't you say it was a family dinner?" Jiang Yuan, whose mouth was full of fruit, felt something was off. The number of people was increasing. Although the table was big enough, didn't you find it troublesome to have so many people?

"It's a family dinner. I don't know why so many people have come!" Liu Zhaodi also seemed quite impatient. She would rather go out with Jiang Yuan to fight monsters than stay here and pretend to be friendly with this group of hypocritical people.

"Uncle, Yuquan is here to pay you a visit on behalf of my father!"

The door was pushed open, and a bespectacled young man walked in, his refined, scholarly air mixed with the imposing presence of a powerful figure.

“He’s a powerful individual!” Jiang Yuan’s eyes narrowed. He could tell that this young man was also a ninth-level Spirit Awakener, and that the energy system within him was not just one kind of spiritual power, but seemed to contain other powers as well.

As Jiang Yuan stared at the bespectacled youth, Liang Yuquan also noticed Jiang Yuan, and their eyes met for the first time.

However, when they met, Jiang Yuan smiled politely and then leisurely ate the fruit platter.

Although Liang Yuquan found it a bit strange, he eventually skipped over Jiang Yuan and gave Liu Zhaodi a friendly smile.

"Yuquan, today is my eldest sister's birthday. Have you prepared a gift?" Liu Mu said, glancing at Jiang Yuan as he spoke.
