“That’s perfect, let’s have dinner together, and stay at home tonight. Since you’re here, why not spend a few days in Pingjiang?” Fang Yanming said with a smile.

"No, no, I'm too busy at home. I'll take the bus back tonight. There's one tonight, and I'll be in the county town tomorrow morning. Your brother-in-law will pick me up." My cousin smiled憨厚ly.

She knew that city people didn't like to keep guests, so she didn't plan to stay overnight. Besides, she really couldn't leave home; there was plenty of work to do at the shop and in the fields, and her husband couldn't manage it all by himself.

Mao Fangfei opened the door, and sure enough, it was Shi Junjie, but not alone. Beside him was a somewhat shy Gao Shengnan, and the two were holding hands. Mao Fangfei immediately understood.

What a coincidence!

"What are you doing here?" Mao Fangfei asked with a smile.

Gao Shengnan blushed and tried to pull her hand away, but Shi Junjie held on tightly. After thinking about it, Gao Shengnan realized there was nothing to be ashamed of, so she nodded generously.

"We're together now."

Shih Chun-chieh added, "We plan to get married next year."

Dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around; Shi Junjie is serious about relationships.

Gao Shengnan blushed even more and nodded seriously, indicating that she and Shi Junjie were indeed in a very serious relationship.

"Congratulations! We can enjoy your wedding candy next year!" Mao Fangfei was genuinely happy for them, but—

"Your mother is here too, she just arrived."

Mao Fangfei pointed to her bosom, and Shi Junjie's expression changed. He looked into the room in astonishment and saw his mother, who was talking to Fang Yanming with her back to the door. He glanced at Gao Shengnan, feeling a little uneasy, as he hadn't told his parents about this yet.

"What a coincidence." Gao Shengnan appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually very flustered inside.

She's meeting the parents? She's not ready at all!

The once formidable manager Gao now transformed into a shy, timid woman, filled with both trepidation and anticipation.

"My mom is fine, don't be nervous," Shi Junjie comforted her softly, squeezing her hand. Gao Shengnan smiled at him, feeling a little more at ease.

My cousin's daughter waited for a long time but her son didn't come in, so she got up and wanted to go out and see what was going on. Just then, Mao Fangfei came back into the room and smiled at her, saying, "Junjie brought his girlfriend to dinner."

"Ah...girlfriend?"

My niece looked bewildered, staring blankly at Gao Shengnan as she entered the room, holding hands affectionately with her son. How come they suddenly got together?

We haven't saved enough money to buy a big house yet!

But her cousin was soon happy again. Gao Shengnan was beautiful and stylish, even prettier than the most beautiful girl in the village. She and her son looked so good together, a perfect match, like a golden couple. Their grandson would definitely be handsome.

"Oh dear... I wasn't prepared at all. Junjie, you didn't even tell me. You kid."

My cousin rubbed her hands together excitedly, not knowing what to say. If she had known she was meeting her future daughter-in-law today, she would have dressed more presentably, so as not to embarrass her son.

"I was planning to tell you during the Chinese New Year, Mom, that you were coming to Pingjiang without telling me in advance, so I could pick you up at the station."

"Why bother answering? It's not like I can't find anyone. I can just ask a few more questions. Um... Miss, please sit down. I'm going to wash my hands."

The niece greeted Gao Shengnan warmly, then hurriedly went to the restroom, giving Mao Fangfei a wink. Mao Fangfei smiled and followed her.

"Do you know Junjie's girlfriend? What's the situation? I'm not prepared at all," my niece asked in a low voice.

“She works at the same company as Junjie, and her salary is even higher than Junjie’s. She can earn a million a year. She bought her own house in Pingjiang and is a graduate of a prestigious university. She’s a really nice girl.”
