[Son, how far have you and Nian Nian progressed? Will I have a chance to hold my precious granddaughter or grandson this year?]

Shi Nian pretended to be calm and looked away hastily.

Why are Feng Sihan and his mother still talking about this?

Feng Sihan coughed lightly and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose. "My mother still cares about our love life."

Shi Nian's cheeks were burning hot, and she raised her head to meet his gaze. "Since you have been in contact all along, why didn't you help us contact them when I suggested meeting them before?"

She paused, "Your parents have been abroad?"

"yes."

Shi Nian responded in a muffled voice, thinking to herself, Zhao Xinyue was right. She was just overthinking...

Feng Sihan spoke again, "I didn't introduce you to each other because I was afraid that you would feel pressured. When we first got married, you didn't seem to like me very much and your attitude towards me was very cold. I discussed it with my parents at the time and wanted to wait for a while, until we got familiar with each other and had feelings for each other, before introducing you to them."

"So that's how it is."

Shi Nian cleared up the misunderstanding and felt relieved. "Si Han, you should have told me these things earlier."

She asked again in confusion, "Was I very cold to you before? When...why don't I have any impression?"

"Yes, you always avoid me. If I get close to you, you start to avoid me."

Shi Nian's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and she blushed and said, "I was shy, not cold!"

She raised her head and met Feng Sihan's gaze. Suddenly, she felt that the temperature in the room was a little high, and her body felt very hot for no reason.

She rubbed the corner of her clothes with her fingertips and said, "Si Han, I don't have anything else to do. You should go to bed early tonight. I'll go back to the room first."

Shi Nian turned around, but Feng Sihan gently pulled her wrist.

She felt the burning sensation in his eyes, and her already red cheeks turned even redder in an instant.

She bit her lower lip lightly, quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, said good night, and fled.

Shi Nian returned to the bedroom, closed the door and sat back on the bed, her heart beating rapidly.

She realized later that she seemed to have forgotten to ask Feng Sihan about his parents' preferences.

She raised her hand and touched her lower lips, with the corners of her lips raised high.

Never mind. His birthday is almost a week away anyway, so there’s still time to ask tomorrow.

Shi Nian saw the signal light on her cell phone flashing, and quickly opened it to check the message.

The message was sent by Zheng Hai.

[Niannian, I heard from Chenchen that your sister has successfully completed the divorce procedures and the art exhibition will be over tomorrow. I plan to strike while the iron is hot and confess my feelings tomorrow. Is it convenient for you now? ]

Shi Nian quickly replied.

【convenient.】

After the message was sent, Zheng Hai called immediately.

Shi Nian answered the call and couldn't help but joke, "Mr. Zheng, you're really fast. What are your plans?"

"I would like to ask you to invite your sister out. Once we meet, you don't have to worry about the rest. If you want to participate, you can stay. The specific plan... I'm still thinking about it, and it hasn't been completely decided yet."

Shi Nian thought for a moment and said, "How about I ask my sister to bring Chenchen out for lunch tomorrow at noon, and say that we're celebrating her being single again. This way it will seem more natural. What do you think?"

"I think much the same as you."

Shi Nian raised the corners of her lips. "You decide on a location. Send me the address after you decide. I'll call my sister tomorrow morning. Mr. Zheng, don't worry. After you come and meet my sister, I'll leave right away. I won't be a light bulb between you two."

"Thank you."

"You should. I wish you all the best tomorrow."

Shi Nian hung up the phone, played with her phone for a while, turned off the lights and lay on the bed, looking forward to tomorrow.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived the next morning, Shi Nian immediately called Shi Wei.

"Nian Nian, I was just about to call you."

Shi Nian was surprised and asked hurriedly, "Sister, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"No, it's just that a lot of things have happened recently. I haven't talked to you in private for a long time. I want to chat with you."

Shi Nian was secretly delighted. Isn't this the opportunity that has come to him?

She took the opportunity to say, "That's what I was thinking. How about you bring Chenchen with you and let's go out for dinner at noon today?"

"What about my brother-in-law?"

"He and I see each other every day, so it doesn't matter if we're apart for a meal. He understands us."

"Nian Nian, it's not cost-effective to eat out. The exhibition will end today. I'll finish my finishing work and go to the market to buy some meat and vegetables. I'll cook a delicious meal."

Shi Nian was anxious, "Don't, sister."

She was worried about arousing Shi Wei's suspicion, so she coughed lightly and said, "Xinyue recommended me a restaurant with good food and elegant style. I want to try it. Can you accompany me? You are making tens of thousands of dollars now, and you are still reluctant to go out for a meal?"

Hearing the voice, Zhao Xinyue pointed at herself and cast a puzzled look at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian made a silent gesture to her and waved her hand, signaling her not to speak for now.

Shi Wei couldn't stand Shi Nian's coquettishness, so she changed her mind and agreed.

Shi Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll send you the address, and we'll meet at the store entrance at noon."

"OK."

Before Shi Wei hung up the phone, Shi Nian said, "Sister, you are now considered a semi-public figure. You have to dress up nicely when you go out to eat."

Shi Wei couldn't help laughing, "How can it be as exaggerated as you say? I put on a hat and a mask and blended into the crowd, who would know who I am?"

"The paparazzi have sharp eyes nowadays, sister, I want to see you dressed up beautifully. Didn't Mr. Zheng help you run a Weibo account? I follow it too. Your fans are always urging you to open a business online, you have to spoil your fans."

"What does open mean?"

"Just post some daily photos or selfies or something."

Shi Wei thought for a few seconds and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shi Nian hung up the phone, forwarded the address Zheng Hai sent her last night to Shi Wei, and raised the corners of her lips, "Done!"

Zhao Xinyue came over and asked, "Nian Nian, who are you talking to on the phone?"

"With my sister. Mr. Zheng is going to confess his love to my sister, and he asked me to help him ask my sister out."

Zhao Xinyue gave a thumbs up, "Zheng Hai acted quickly, he is a real man!"

In the morning, Shi Nian closed the store half an hour early and rushed to the door of the restaurant booked by Zheng Hai.

She didn't see Shi Wei, but instead saw Zheng Hai who arrived earlier than her.

Zheng Hai was sitting in the car. Shi Nian didn't notice him at first until a car not far away kept honking its horn and she saw a figure in the driver's seat waving at her. Then she recognized him.

She was afraid of running into Shi Wei on the way over, so she took out her cell phone and typed.

[Mr. Zheng, why are you here so early? ]

【nervous.】

Shi Nian chuckled and tapped the screen.

【come on.】

She looked up at Zheng Hai and was about to give him a cheer, but her eyes suddenly passed over his car and fell on a familiar figure not far away.

Shi Nian's smile faded, and unhappiness appeared in his eyes.

Why is he here?
