That day, the sky was gray, as if covered with a veil. The north wind blew by, chilling people to the bone.

Ye Chen brought Xia Penny back to the Ye family in such weather.

This time, the two came here with the determination to die.

Just like last time, Ye Jiantao still sat upright on the sofa, serious and stern.

He Yanhua sat aside, looking at them expressionlessly.

Just like last time, Jin Xunmei was still sitting next to He Yanhua today.

She held He Yanhua's hand affectionately with a smile on her face, which was very different from the extremely serious people. When they just came in, she stretched out her hand to greet them.

"Have you thought about it?"

Ye Jiantao spoke, and compared to last time, his words today were less oppressive.

The two held hands tightly, looked at each other and nodded together.

Ye Jiantao still looked serious: "Now that we have made up our minds, let's choose a date."

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Choose a date?"

He and Xia Penny looked at each other, neither of them understanding what he meant.

Looking at the two people standing upright, they were a little confused, while He Yanhua and Jin Xunmei, who were sitting, looked at each other and smiled secretly.

Ye Jiantao's expression relaxed as he said calmly, "Right, you've already announced your girlfriend, so you should find a date to get engaged, right? Could it be... you regret it?"

Poor Ye Chen didn't hear Ye Jiantao's joke at all, and quickly denied it: "No, no, I don't regret it!"

Xia Penny finally reacted and blinked her eyes in disbelief as she asked, "Are you...agreeing for us to be together?"

Ye Jiantao and He Yanhua smiled at each other.

At this time, Jin Xunmei stood up and walked over to the two of them. She pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly. With a look of disappointment, she explained to them, "How can you two be so stupid! Uncle and aunt have never really opposed you!"

The two people standing there looked at each other, confused.

"Never objected? Before that..." Xia Penny asked with some doubt.

Jin Xunmei couldn't help laughing: "Haha...that's just a test for you!"

"test?"

Ye Chen couldn't quite believe it. He had been depressed for several days because of this matter. If it weren't for his strong will and deep love for her, this little rascal would have almost deserted. The two of them might have been separated because of this. But now she came to him and told him that it was a test?

"Then you..." Xia Penny finally asked the question she wanted to ask most.

Jin Xunmei walked up to her, bent down, gently scratched her nose, and said with a smile in a teasing tone, "Xiao Xia Xia, Xiao Xia Xia, haven't you seen it yet? I'm just a tool, a tool used to test you two!"

"Ah?" Xia Penny couldn't believe it.

Jin Xunmei immediately stood up straight, looking proud, and patted her chest and said proudly: "Sister, I have a fiancé!" Then she picked up her cell phone and pressed a button. When the screen lit up, a foreign man appeared.

"How is it? Isn't he much more handsome than Ye Chen?" Jin Xunmei held up her phone for her to see. The light in her eyes couldn't be hidden, just like when she looked at Ye Chen normally...

Xia Pei Ni looked at him carefully and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this foreigner has a good foundation, his facial features are so three-dimensional and delicate, his nose is so straight, his eye sockets are so deep, his brow bones are so high, and most importantly, his eyeballs are blue, he is simply an elf on earth!

While she was silently watching the people on the screen, Ye Chen was always looking at her, so her infatuated look was seen by Ye Chen.

He poked her with his arm in dissatisfaction, and she came to her senses, gave him a thumbs up and said affirmatively: "Handsome! Very handsome!"

Jin Xunmei happily stepped forward and took Xia Peini's arm: "Hehe, huh? He's not only handsome, but also more interesting than Ye Chen, the dull guy! I really don't know what you like about him..."

Ye Chen turned his head and rolled his eyes at them helplessly: "Ahem... I'm still here."

Jin Xunmei pouted disapprovingly.

Only then did Xia Penny hug his arm and coax him softly: "You are the most handsome! In my heart and eyes, you are the most handsome!"

"That's better." Ye Chen reached out and touched her head before smiling with satisfaction.

"Okay, stop standing there. Aunt Wang has prepared the meal. Come and eat!"

Ye Jiantao and He Yanhua invited them to come for dinner.

"Xia Xia, come here and sit next to your auntie. Your auntie wants to be next to you!"

This meal was the first meal they had together after meeting their parents, and this meal also opened a new chapter in their happy life.

As night fell, Xia Penny took the time to tell Shen Yueyan about this matter. Shen Yueyan was happy for her while still accepting Shen Lu's questioning.

"How many things have you done without telling me?"

Shen Lu questioned with a cold face.

She sat on the sofa, folded her arms around her chest and looked at Shen Yueyan.

Shen Yueyan knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't say anything. She just knelt down at Shen Lu's feet, hugged her legs, lowered her head and explained: "Aunt, I'm sorry..."

Seeing that Shen Lu didn't say anything, she raised her head and continued to explain: "I shouldn't have done so much without telling you, and I shouldn't have let myself get into an accident, and I shouldn't have made you worry about me so much..."

"So you know everything... If you know everything, why do you still do this?"

Shen Yueyan lowered her head, pursed her lips and shook her head: "Aunt, there is no other way, I have to do this for our plan!"

Shen Lu still looked at her angrily without saying anything, wanting to see what she was going to say.

Shen Yueyan raised her head, wiped the eye marks from her face, and continued, "Aunt, do you know that the Ning family gave me 3% of the shares as a token of their appreciation? You should know that Ning Yifan's initial stake in the Ning Group was only 5%. Moreover, in return for the gift, the Bai family also gave Ning Yifan and me 3% of the shares of the Bai Group each.
