Wendie stamped her feet shyly, gently punched Xu Wenwu's chest and said, "What are you talking about! Who misses you? Don't you have any shame!"

After saying that, she turned her head, facing away from Xu Wenwu, placed the jade pendant in the palm of her hand, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

Xu Wenwu stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Wendie's waist from behind. He leaned over and whispered softly in her ear, "Die'er, please keep this jade pendant. I always carry it with me. I plan to give it to my wife in the future."

Her ears were her sensitive spot, and the warm breath sprayed on her, and Wendie's ears turned red all the way to her neck. She shrank her neck and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Wen Die's face turned even redder. The sound she just made was indeed a bit... So she broke free from Xu Wenwu's arms, picked up her skirt and ran out.

Xu Wenwu laughed heartily. His Die'er was truly shy! He sniffed gently, and the girl's orchid-like body fragrance seemed to still linger at the tip of his nose.

"Brother-in-law, why do you look so frivolous?" Wen Yuan originally came to look for the two of them, but when he arrived at the backyard, he found that only Xu Wenwu was there. The expression on his face seemed a little agitated to him, so he asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's my eldest brother. But I'm very serious, you don't understand!" Xu Wenwu patted Wen Yuan's shoulder and walked past him with a calm face.

Wen Yuan scratched his head, wondering what this meant, and immediately ran after him, saying, "Hey, explain yourself clearly. What's wrong with me?"

Wen Die ran back to her room, closed the door, and covered her face with a handkerchief. Today was really embarrassing. She didn't know what Brother Xu would think of her. The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she became. She pulled the handkerchief with her fingers, feeling a little ashamed.

It took her a long time to calm herself down. She wet a towel with cold water and gently wiped her face. The heat on her face subsided a little.

"Miss, it's almost time for dinner. Madam is calling you to the front hall!"

"I understand. Go tell my mother and I'll go right away." Wen Die heard Yuan'er's call and quickly replied.

"Yes, miss."

Wendie let out a breath, tidied her hair and clothes for the day, and then walked towards the front hall.

When we arrived at the front hall, the servants were serving the dishes and everyone had already sat down.

"Die'er, child, do you still want guests to wait for you?" Mrs. Wen took her daughter's hand and tapped her forehead and said.

"Oh! Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? Die'er is a girl. It takes time for her to get dressed up. Besides, she came not too late. We just sat down!" Zhang stood up with a smile, took Wendie's hand, and led her to sit in the empty seat next to Xu Wenwu.

"Wenwu, Die'er is sitting next to you. You must take good care of her, okay?" Zhang instructed.

Xu Wenwu smiled and said, "I know, mother!"

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Look, our Die'er is so lucky. She has her parents at home who dote on her. When she goes to your Xu family, she will also have so many relatives who dote on her. No other girl is luckier than her!"

Wang smiled and said, "A girl as considerate as Die'er would be spoiled by the whole family no matter where she lives. Don't worry, Die'er. If Wenwu bullies you in the future, just tell me and I'll take care of it for you."

Wendie nodded shyly.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Prefect Wen smiled and said, "Alright, let's all start eating. Although the food is not as good as the Xu family's, it is still prepared with care by our kitchen staff."

The old man said, "No, no, it's so delicious and rich. I want to eat it just by smelling it."

“Eat, eat!”

The servant beside him was very considerate and filled the cups of everyone present.

Xu Wenwu reached under the table and took Wendie's hand in his palm.

Wen Die was afraid that Xu Wenwu's little action would be seen by others, so she wanted to withdraw her hand but couldn't, and she gave Xu Wenwu a coquettish look.

Seeing this, Xu Wenwu smiled lightly but refused to let go.

Wen Die had no choice but to pretend to be calm.

"Wenwu, quickly toast your future father-in-law and mother-in-law. In the future, you must be filial and respectful to them like your own parents." said the old man.

Xu Wenwu then released Wendie's hand, stood up, raised his glass with both hands and said, "Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, Wenwu toasts you a glass. Thank you for betrothing such a wonderful girl like Die'er to me. Please rest assured that Wenwu's previous promise will absolutely count. From now on, I will only have Die'er as my wife, and I will not take another woman with me."

Prefect Wen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I believe you. I feel relieved that Die'er is in your care." Then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Mrs. Wen was also very satisfied with Xu Wenwu's promise, and drank the wine out of courtesy.

As the future daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Wendie also stood up and started to toast. Although it was fruit wine, as a girl, she could not hold her liquor well. Halfway through the drink, her face became a little hazy.

Xu Wenwu immediately stopped her and said, "Die'er, do you want me to help you go back and rest?"

Wendie chuckled and said, "No, I'm fine!"

Xu Wenwu nodded, but he didn't let Wendie drink another drop of alcohol.

The dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests. After the meal, the two families discussed again and decided to set the wedding date in May of the following year. By then, Xu Wenwu would have finished his exams and the weather would be neither too cold nor too hot.

This was also the first time for Wang and her family to come to Qingyun City, so the old man planned to stay for two more days and let his wife and three daughters-in-law go out for a walk and do some shopping.

Mrs. Wen knew that the Xu family would be staying in Qingyun City for two days, so she immediately invited them warmly, "My dear relatives, you can stay at my house for the next few days. It's not convenient to stay at an inn, so you can stay with me and chat. I can take you out for a walk later, which will be more convenient."
