Chapter 183 Don't think he's so obedient; he won't be able to settle accounts later.

Peng Zixu was carrying a large pile of boxes, containing nutritional supplements, fruits, and other items.

Mother You thought to herself that this handsome young man must have come to the wrong house.

She asked gently, "Who are you looking for?"

Peng Zixu looked past her and at You Huan: "I am You Huan's boyfriend. My name is Peng Zixu."

Mother You: "..."

You Huan: "..."

You Huan rushed over and pushed Peng Zixu away, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

After a moment of stunned silence, You's mother burst into laughter as if she had won the lottery, grabbed You Huan and pulled her back, pushing her aside.

You Huan staggered and almost lost her balance.

Peng Zixu: "..."

While he was still in a daze, Mother You grabbed his arm and called out warmly, "Zixu, come in quickly, come in quickly!"

After Peng Zixu entered the room, You's mother closed the door.

"Oh dear, you've come all this way, why did you buy so much stuff?"

Peng Zixu put the box down and said with a smile, "It's the first time I've come, so I should prepare something."

Mother You: "You can't bring anything next time you come. Don't be so formal with us."

"Huanhuan, go get Zixu a glass of water."

You Huan stood still.

Peng Zixu glanced at her and said, "Auntie, I'm not thirsty."

Mother You: "Huanhuan, go wash some fruit, and bring some melon seeds and peanuts over."

You Huan stared at Peng Zixu, but didn't move.

What a cunning man.

She thought Peng Zixu had left, but she didn't expect him to pull this stunt on her and even find out about her home.

Peng Zixu touched his nose and sat down on the sofa.

Mother You gave You Huan a push: "Go on."

You Huan reluctantly picked up two oranges, which her mother had bought at the morning market that morning.

Mother You: "Go wash some more apples."

You Huan rolled her eyes and took an apple to wash.

Two minutes later, she came over with an apple and handed it to Peng Zixu: "Here you go."

Mother You: "Child, couldn't you cut it into smaller pieces? How is Xu supposed to eat it like this?"

You Huan: "Apples taste best when you eat them whole."

Mrs. You looked at Peng Zixu awkwardly.

Peng Zixu took the apple: "It's okay, I like to eat it by biting into it."

You Huan: "..."

Don't think that just because he's so well-behaved, she won't be able to do the math later.

She moved to the other side of the sofa and sat down, far away from Peng Zixu.

Mother You had no time to pay attention to her; her eyes were only on Peng Zixu.

"Zixu, where are you from?"

"Auntie, my hometown is Beijing."

"Beijing, a metropolis, how wonderful!"

Mother You was extremely satisfied.

She didn't necessarily want her daughter to return to her hometown; she just felt worried about her daughter wandering alone for so many years.

Given her age, they wanted her to get married and settle down as soon as possible.

What do your parents do?

"My dad owns a company."

Mother You was even more pleased to hear this.

Those who own companies must come from well-off families.

You Huan interrupted her: "Mom, what are you asking? You'll scare people away."

Mother You: "Oh, then I won't ask anymore."

She realized she had asked a lot of questions during their first meeting.

Peng Zixu smiled gently: "It's alright, please ask whatever you like."

Mother You stood up: "I'll go cook, you chat with Huanhuan."

Yu's mother went into the kitchen, leaving the space to them.

You Huan looked at Peng Zixu coldly: "You secretly investigated me?"

Peng Zixu: "There's nothing I can do. If I ask you directly, you definitely won't tell me."

"Peng Zixu, what are you doing?"

"Sister, isn't my meaning obvious?"

You Huan: "How would I know what you're going to do?"

Peng Zixu stared at her: "We can get married anytime."

You Huan pursed her lips: "You're being impulsive right now, I don't want to talk to you about this."

"I wasn't impulsive."

"Really? You came here because you knew I was on a blind date, didn't you?"

Peng Zixu did not speak.

He knew that You Huan was going on a blind date, and he was provoked into coming over.

You Huan gave a bitter smile.

If she hadn't gone on a blind date, Peng Zixu wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact her.

Peng Zixu did like her a little, but only a little.

But it hasn't reached the point where he can't live without her.

His proposal to marry her was impulsive; once he calms down, he may not want to marry her anymore.

Peng Zixu sat down next to her and took her hand.

"Don't be angry, let's make up."

You Huan turned to look at him, feeling a little breathless.

She lowered her head and stared at her toes.

Peng Zixu sat down next to her and placed his large hand on her back: "What's wrong?"

You Huan shook her head: "Nothing."

Peng Zixu sighed and said in a low voice, "Sister, why don't you believe me?"

"I haven't contacted you during this time because I'm angry too. I'm angry that you don't trust me at all, doubt my feelings, are always thinking about getting away unscathed, and are always thinking about breaking up."

Do I really make you feel that insecure?

You Huan was stunned.

She didn't expect Peng Zixu to know all this.

"Peng Zixu, you come from a good family and are better than me in every way, so why are you looking for me?"

"Sister, you were the one who struck up a conversation with me first."

"I was wrong, you don't need to take it seriously."

"But I've already taken it seriously."

You Huan remained silent and did not even look up at Peng Zixu.

Peng Zixu reached out and shook her hand again: "Sister, trust me."

You Huan turned her head, her eyes red-rimmed.

Peng Zixu's heart clenched, and he hugged her, saying, "I was wrong. I should have come to find you sooner."

You Huan leaned against him, tears falling silently, wetting his clothes.

When Mr. You opened the door and came in, his face darkened when he saw the two embracing on the sofa. He turned to look for a broom.

You Huan pushed Peng Zixu away and quickly wiped away her tears.

"Dad, he's my boyfriend."

Mr. You paused: "Boyfriend?"

Peng Zixu stood up and greeted, "Hello, Uncle, my name is Peng Zixu."

Yu's father looked him over warily, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Mrs. You came out of the kitchen: "Old man, you're back. This is Huanhuan's boyfriend."

Mr. You's expression was serious, and he didn't say anything.

Mother You pulled him to the kitchen and scolded, "What are you doing? Don't scare people."

Mr. You: "Isn't Huanhuan single? Where did he come from?"

Mrs. You: "Huanhuan was too embarrassed to tell us, but the two of them had been talking for a while."

"You know, Huanhuan, if you're dating someone, you should just tell us. You made me so anxious that I had to arrange blind dates for her."

"By the way, we absolutely mustn't let Zixu know about the blind date; he'll start to overthink it."

Mr. You snorted: "So what if he knows? It's good to show him how popular our Huanhuan is. Let him watch out."

Mother You: "I'm warning you, don't say anything that might ruin Huanhuan's good time. I think Zixu is a good boy, I'm quite satisfied with him."

Yu's father scoffed.

Mother You ignored him.

...

At the dinner table, Mrs. You kept putting food on Peng Zixu's plate.

"Zixu, eat more."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Don't be shy. By the way, do you like our food here?"

"I can get used to the food."

"If you like the food, then try this hot pot."

You Huan rolled her eyes.

It's like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looks, the more satisfied she becomes.

Her mother's mouth was never closed.

Peng Zixu's bowls were almost overflowing.

After dinner, You Huan took Peng Zixu out.

I can't stand my mother.
