Seeing Xiao Yanjun's deflated and gloomy face, Old Master Xiao felt even happier and smiled with wrinkles on his face.

Even until Lin Xiaoxiao and the others got into the car and left, Old Man Xiao was still smiling happily.

After returning to the Xiao family, Zheng Ruyue went back to her room with an unhappy look on her face. Xiao's father noticed that she was in a bad mood and thought she was not feeling well, so he followed her in.

Concerned, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Zheng Ruyue shook her head, looking even more unhappy.

"Then why are you not happy?" asked Xiao's father.

"No." Zheng Ruyue turned away, "Brother Xiao, don't ask anymore."

This look of being unhappy but not making a fuss made Xiao's father feel very distressed.

"We are husband and wife, is there anything we can't say?"

"I..." Zheng Ruyue looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, she said, "Brother Xiao, all the unmarried daughters-in-law of the Lin family are here today. I only have one sister, but..."

She didn't continue to say the rest of the words. She looked at Xiao's father's expression and smiled again.

"Brother Xiao, don't take it to heart. I was just saying it. It's nothing. I'm not Yanjun's biological mother, and my sister is not his biological aunt. It's okay that my sister didn't attend."

Originally, when Father Xiao heard that Zheng Ruyue was unhappy about this matter, he frowned and was about to say something to her, but he was blocked by her next words and couldn't say anything.

Finally, he comforted her, "Today we're just having a meal together and meeting each other. When we get engaged, I'll definitely invite your sister along."

Zheng Ruyue's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" asked Father Xiao.

"Brother Xiao, thank you."

Zheng Ruyue hugged Xiao's father's waist, her eyes full of happiness.

Father Xiao patted her shoulder with a gentle look in his eyes.

…

Two days after this dinner, Mr. Xiao invited Lin Feng and Lin Rui to dinner again, this time at the Xiao family's house, with the purpose of choosing a date for the engagement.

The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Lin Feng and Lin Rui had no objections, so the meal went very harmoniously.

For the next period of time, Lin Xiaoxiao and his siblings were extremely busy. The boss from Haicheng came and, after seeing the goods, he immediately agreed to cooperate and ordered tens of thousands of goods at one go, which directly opened up the market in Haicheng.

Yu Zaoqing's factory could no longer handle such a large order. After discussion, Lin Xiaoxiao and his sister decided to give all the orders in Haicheng to Sun Xiangjun.

So he asked Sun Xiangjun to come out. Sun Xiangjun was also a businessman. If there was money to be made, he would naturally not refuse it.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, but Sun Xiangjun said to Lin Feng: "Cooperation is cooperation, but don't think that just because of this, I will agree to you and my sister being together."

Lin Feng said calmly, "I also hope that you agree to my relationship with Yingying because of me as a person, not because of business."

"That's good enough if you really think so." Sun Xiangjun snorted.

The two parties hit it off immediately. Although Sun Xiangjun said so, he did not restrict Sun Yingying's actions. He just came every time Sun Yingying came to the warehouse.

It would be fine if he just ate and drank for free, but he didn't even give the two of them a chance to be alone together.

The days passed quickly and winter came in a blink of an eye. During this period, Lin Xiaoxiao met Lin Nuo once. There were no signs of pregnancy on her belly, but she was wearing very loose clothes.

Zhao Xixia found a job in the city. Her husband came to pick her up several times, but she didn't go back.
