"What's wrong?"

Su Ningshuang's father asked.

However, before Su Ningshuang's mother could speak, Su Ningshuang's father's phone suddenly rang.

Su Ningshuang's father answered the phone.

"It's me...it's me...okay...I understand."

While answering the phone, Su Ningshuang's father hurriedly walked outside.

"I'll talk about it when I get back tonight."

Su Ningshuang's father said something to his wife, then opened the villa door and left in a hurry.

Something happened at the company that he needs to handle.

Seeing her husband in such a hurry, Su Ningshuang's mother had no choice but to give up.

We'll have to play it by ear tonight.

...

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was six o'clock in the evening.

Ye Chen drove his Aston Martin straight to Su Ningshuang's villa.

When Ye Chen arrived at the Su family home, it was around 6:20. He had arranged to meet Su Ningshuang's father at 7:00, so he was still a little early.

Su Ningshuang's father has not returned yet.

"Junior Ye, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Su Ningshuang gave him a very warm welcome.

“Senior Su…”

Ye Chen thought for a moment about how to address him before speaking.

It's still better to call her Senior Su now.

At this moment, there weren't many guests at Su Ningshuang's house.

Su Ningshuang led Ye Chen into the villa and greeted her mother.

"Xiao Chen is here."

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Su Ningshuang's mother acted like a mother-in-law meeting her son-in-law.

"There seem to be quite a few guests today. Xiao Chen, could you help us greet them?"

Su Ningshuang's mother spoke, acting as if she were family.

"Mom, Ye is a guest. How can we let him help greet the guest?"

Su Ningshuang asked.

"We'll be family sooner or later, it's alright."

Su Ningshuang's mother waved her hand, ignoring her daughter's words.

"Mom~"

Hearing her mother's words, Su Ningshuang's face immediately turned red. She grabbed her mother's arm and said coquettishly.

Why is Mom like this?

She and Ye are not a couple yet.

"Don't whine."

The mother gave Su Ningshuang a look, the general meaning being: as her mother, how could she not know what was on Su Ningshuang's mind?

"What do you think, Xiao Chen?"

Su Ningshuang's mother asked Ye Chen.

"I'm fine, it's only right that I help out."

Ye Chen spoke.

Looking at Su Ningshuang and her mother.

The thought of having to call her "niece" and "sister-in-law" in a little while gave Ye Chen a headache.

I wonder what expressions Su Ningshuang and her daughter will have when they find out about their relationship with Brother Su.

They are probably a thousand times more embarrassed than they are themselves.

"Look, Xiao Chen hasn't said anything. Your friend is here, go and help Xiao Chen greet him."

Su Ningshuang's mother waved her hand and went to do other things.

"Junior Ye, please don't mind."

Su Ningshuang blushed and said to Ye Chen somewhat awkwardly.

Even if, as my mother said, we'll be a family in the future, we're not now.

"It's alright, it's alright."

"Some of my friends are here, let's go and greet them."

Seeing that Ye Chen had no objections, Su Ningshuang stopped worrying and walked with Ye Chen toward their newly arrived friends.

"Happy birthday, Ning Shuang."

"Happy birthday."

Several men and women who had just entered greeted Su Ningshuang warmly.

The parents of these men and women were friends with Su Ningshuang's parents, so they had known each other for a long time.

"This is a birthday present I prepared."

"And mine too."

Several people gave Su Ningshuang the birthday gifts they had prepared.

Thank you everyone.

Su Ningshuang thanked everyone.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also prepared to take out his gift.

Since it was just a wristwatch, Ye Chen put it in his pocket.

However, before Ye Chen could even take out the gift, one of Su Ningshuang's female friends suddenly spoke up:

"Ning Shuang, Chen Lang has prepared a big gift for you today."

Just as the words were spoken, a handsome man in a white suit walked in, carrying a bouquet of roses in his hand.

The man's name is Shi Chenlang.

Shi Chenlang's father and Su Ningshuang's father were old friends.

Upon seeing Shi Chenlang, Su Ningshuang's friends quickly made way and stood aside.

They knew that Chenlang had always liked Ningshuang.

As he walked over, Shi Chenlang offered Su Ningshuang a rose, his eyes filled with admiration.

Happy birthday, Su Meimei.

Shi Chenlang spoke.

Shi Chenlang was one year older than Su Ningshuang, so he always called Su Ningshuang "Little Sister Su".

"Thank you, but I can't accept the gifts."

Su Ningshuang refused without hesitation. Although she was very polite, her tone was full of distance.

As she spoke, Su Ningshuang moved a little closer to Ye Chen.

When Su Ningshuang refused, her friends were about to persuade her, but when they noticed that Su Ningshuang subconsciously moved closer to Ye Chen...

The group of people were all taken aback.

When they first saw Ye Chen, they treated him as just an ordinary guest.

Seeing this, even the most clueless among them could tell that the relationship between Su Ningshuang and Ye Chen seemed to be more than just a simple one.

Shi Chenlang didn't take Su Ningshuang's rejection too seriously at first.

But when Su Ningshuang got closer to Ye Chen, Shi Chenlang's gaze immediately changed, and he looked at Ye Chen with hostility.

At this moment, Shi Chenlang felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Ning Shuang, who is this?"
