After returning home, Mo Wanning followed Cao Qinmo's advice, asked her parents to prepare gifts, and then visited Xu Jinhe.

"Auntie, Wan Ning misses you so much."

"Come in, come in, Auntie misses you too."

"Auntie, I brought you your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake! I made it myself, come and try it and see if it tastes good."

"Oh, really? Then Auntie would like to thank Wan Ning first."

"It's my duty, Auntie."

Mo Wanning held Xu Jinhe's hand and acted coquettishly, which reminded Xu Jinhe of her childhood and made her even more happy about her arrival.

"Mo Wanning, how are you and Fu Yanci doing?"

“…”

Mo Wanning, who was originally sharing her experiences abroad with Xu Jinhe over the years, suddenly became silent after hearing Xu Jinhe's question. After a long while, she hesitated and replied.

"Maybe I'm not lucky enough to be your daughter-in-law."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't have it, who does?"

"Jiang Nuan."

"Mo Wanning, why do you suddenly think like this? You should know that your Uncle Fu and I love you the most."

"But Brother Yanci really likes Jiang Nuan... I don't want to be the third party who destroys other people's feelings."

Mo Wanning's eyes began to turn red, and her tearful look made Xu Jinhe feel heartbroken.

"Wan Ning, you can't think like that. They haven't gotten married yet. There's no right or wrong in matters of the heart. You have to work harder to make Yan Ci fall in love with you."

"I see. Thank you, Auntie."

Mo Wanning nodded, then hesitated and spoke again.

"But Auntie, I don't usually have the chance to spend time with Brother Yanci..."

"Don't worry about this. Auntie will find a way for you. Just wait patiently."

"Okay! Then Wan Ning would like to thank Auntie first!"

"good."

After receiving Yang Yunmu's indirect affirmation, Mo Wanning felt more at ease and prepared to do what she wanted to do.

She first called Mu Yuan to book a private room, then asked Cao Qinmo to invite the group of friends she grew up with, and finally got Jiang Nuan's contact information.

[Nuannuan, I am Mo Wanning.]

Jiang Nuan, who was checking documents, felt a little puzzled when she saw the message that suddenly popped up.

Jiang Nuan wasn't surprised that Mo Wanning had her contact information. After all, for someone like them, getting her contact information would be a piece of cake. What puzzled Jiang Nuan was why Mo Wanning wanted to add her contact information.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Nuan accepted Mo Wanning's friend request.

【Hello, what can I do for you? 】

[Nuannuan, this is what happened. Didn't we go hiking together a few days ago? I think you're quite compatible, so I'd like to invite you to have lunch together. Is that okay? I've already booked a table at Muyuan.]

[I'm sorry, I'm very busy and I'm afraid I don't have time to have dinner with you. Thank you for your invitation.]

Seeing Jiang Nuan's rejection without hesitation on the phone screen, Mo Wanning suddenly squeezed the phone tightly.

The most important step of the plan failed.

But it doesn’t matter, Jiang Nuan, we have a long way to go.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling—"

Before one problem was solved, another one arose. The phone that Jiang Nuan had just put down started ringing again.

As Jiang Nuan answered the phone, she lamented Mo Wanning's perseverance. She had clearly said that she would not go, so why did she still call her?

"Hey, didn't I just tell you I'm not going? Why are you calling me?"

"Where are you going?"

"Fu Yanci?"

"Um, did anyone call you just now?"

"No, it's just that your childhood sweetheart added me on WeChat and invited me to dinner, but I didn't agree."

"That's good, because I want to invite you to dinner."

"?"

"Are you off work? I'll wait for you at the school gate."

"You're here already?"

"Um."

"I'll be right there."

"Don't worry, walk slowly."

Jiang Nuan hurriedly packed up her things and came to the school gate, and couldn't stop complaining about Fu Yanci.

"Why did you come early without telling me? You must have been waiting for a long time, right?"

"No, I just arrived."

"Okay, let's go."

"What do you want to eat?"

"It's all right. Actually, I haven't thought about it yet."

…

Although Jiang Nuan rejected her invitation, Mo Wanning felt it was still necessary to have a meal with her long-lost friends.

"Wan Ning, long time no see~"

"It's been a long time since we last met. Wan Ning, you've been abroad for so many years and you never came back to meet us."

"Alright, you've made so many requests. Isn't Wan Ning reunited with us now?"

"Hahaha, right, right, I made a slip of the tongue. I'll drink three cups as punishment later."

"Go away, Wan Ning specially ordered some good wine, and you drank all three glasses by yourself as punishment."

A group of people were joking with each other in the lobby, and they were all happy for Mo Wanning's return. Mo Wanning looked at their familiar faces and felt very close.

"Thank you all for coming to welcome me."

"Who dares not give face to the beautiful lady Mo? Don't you agree?"

"right."

"yes."

"That's right."

Amidst the harmonious opinions, a unique voice suddenly emerged.

"That's not necessarily true. Wan Ning invited someone this morning, but they refused to come no matter what."
