Fang Tongtong went home for the weekend. Mao Fangfei cooked her favorite dishes, and Fang Yanming also turned down a dinner invitation. The couple just wanted to know who their future son-in-law was; they couldn't sleep soundly until they found out.

"Tongtong, let's eat crab, it's your favorite."

Fang Yanming peeled a crab. It wasn't autumn yet, so it wasn't the fattest time of year, but it still tasted good.

"Thank you, Dad."

Fang Tongtong took the crab and started eating, but she was still a little disgusted. Her dad's crab peeling was not as good as Shi Xiaobao's. Shi Xiaobao peeled the crab neatly and cleanly, separating the shell and meat very well, while her dad's was messy.

But she still really likes it since her dad peeled it himself.

The family of three was having a happy meal when Fang Tongtong was enjoying her food when Fang Yanming suddenly asked, "Your Director Xu said he's often seen you going out with a young man after get off work lately. Is he your boyfriend?"

Clang!

Startled, Fang Tongtong dropped the crab in her hand. She was so nervous that sweat beaded on her forehead. Only then did she realize that today's meal was a trap, and her parents had no good intentions!

Director Xu is the same. How can a director act like a gossipy old woman? She just went out for a meal. Is it necessary to tattle to her father?

“You’re not young anymore. Since you’re in a relationship, bring him back to meet us. Who is that young man? Is he Le Tian?” Mao Fangfei asked with a smile.

Fang Tongtong looked horrified and shook her head vigorously, "How could it be him? Mom, please don't play matchmaker. Tong Letian and I are just friends."

Fang Yanming and Mao Fangfei exchanged glances. If it wasn't Tong Letian, then who was it?

Who was it that picked you up for dinner every day?

"Xiao Bao, who else could it be besides him?" Fang Tongtong said calmly. If she hadn't been sweating so much, she might have fooled Fang Yanming.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Fang Tongtong sweats when she's nervous, and the more nervous she is, the more she sweats. But it's just Shi Xiaobao, why is she so nervous?

"Is it really Xiao Bao?"

"Oh dear, it's Xiao Bao. He treated me to a few meals. Why is Uncle Xu so gossipy? He's met Xiao Bao before, why does he have to tell you about this?" Fang Tongtong muttered under her breath.

“Xiao Bao won’t get out of the car. Your Uncle Xu doesn’t have X-ray vision, how can he see people clearly? Besides, why are you so nervous about Xiao Bao?” Fang Yanming was disappointed, but then quite happy.

He can keep his daughter for a few more years; it's fine if they don't get married. It's not like he can't afford to support her.

Mao Fangfei, however, was skeptical. She felt that her daughter was hiding something and decided to call Tong Letian tomorrow to ask him, as he would surely know the truth.

Fang Yanming's phone rang. It was Shi Junjie calling. The ringtone was very urgent, like a death knell.

The moment he pressed the answer button, Shi Junjie's urgent voice came through, "Cousin..."

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Gao Shengnan clapped her hands forcefully, and Shi Junjie quickly corrected himself, "Brother Fang, something big has happened, some really great news!"

Having called him "cousin" for decades, Shi Junjie felt genuinely awkward about suddenly having to call him "brother." But for his son's lifelong happiness, he was willing to accept it no matter how awkward it was.

Fang Yanming was stunned, somewhat dumbfounded.

What's wrong with these two?

Are they all drunk?

"Don't make a big deal out of it. Quickly drink some honey water to sober up. You're so drunk you're calling me 'brother,' but I'm your uncle!" Fang Yanming roared irritably.

“I didn’t drink, brother. I really have to call you brother. You know what? Xiaobao and Tongtong are dating. We’ll be in-laws from now on!” Shi Junjie said happily.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, except for Fang Yanming's heavy breathing. After a long while, he roared, "What did you say? Say it again!"
