"He came back for the Chinese New Year," Grandpa said. "That was right when you went to Qingqian's house."
Upon hearing her name called, Ji Qingqian's eyebrows twitched slightly:
“…”
But she didn't say anything.
Grandpa looked at his grandson again and asked, "Your mother should know about your trip to Qingqian's house, right?"
Lu Yibei: "Ah."
Yes, I do know.
That's not what he told me.
Lu Ming sensed a hint of guilt in his grandson's words. He could guess that there was some distance between his daughter and her son…
After all, Lu Chaoxi has always been strong-willed and fierce, and she is also a workaholic, so she probably rarely has the opportunity to communicate with her son.
Judging from the fact that Lu Yibei tends to stay in his hometown of Chaocheng during every long holiday.
This also verifies Lu Ming's conjecture.
But this was a matter between mother and son, and since neither of them expressed any dissatisfaction, he and his wife didn't get involved.
—Lu Xichao may indeed have some personality flaws…or rather, flaws in the eyes of ordinary people. But she is still the daughter who has made Lu Ming proud for most of his life.
—As for Lu Yibei, he is also a grandson who has made people proud for most of their lives.
Therefore, Lu Ming did not think that the two of them had made any fundamental mistakes.
Lu Ming paused for a moment, then said, "Your mother has never met Qing Qian, has she?"
“Mm,” Lu Yibei said.
"You've met Qingqian's parents. If Qingqian is ready, then your parents should meet her too..."
During the winter break, when asked if he had visited the woman's home, Lu Ming avoided talking to his granddaughter-in-law.
But this time he said it in public, which was because Lu Ming, with his somewhat old-fashioned nature, believed that the relationship between the two young people had fundamentally changed after meeting each other's parents.
If it was just a simple romantic relationship before, then it will involve longer-term things like "living together".
Lu Yibei glanced at his girlfriend again.
The young girlfriend's slender fingers were gently churning, showing a hint of nervousness.
Realizing that Ah Bei was looking at her, she immediately hid her hands behind her back and nodded vigorously.
"Grandpa is right."
She was still very nervous.
But it must have been the same when Ah Bei went to see her parents.
Ah Bei is willing to overcome anything for her.
So, she can do it too.
Grandpa noticed the little girl's nervousness.
His first thought was whether he should have said it in front of others. But then he thought about it again and realized it wasn't a big deal.
Compared to the status of granddaughter-in-law, which sounds somewhat like an "outsider".
Lu Ming had come to regard this quiet but sensible girl as something akin to a "granddaughter".
We're all family, so there's no need for formalities.
"fine."
Grandpa rarely showed a kind smile: "Yibei's mother will definitely like you..."
I spoke a few more words to my grandfather.
Ji Qingqian went upstairs with Lu Yibei.
The little girl followed behind, seemingly hesitant.
Lu Yibei turned around and asked with a smile:
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Ji Qingqian's pale face contorted with distress: "Abei, I understand now. How nervous you were when you met my parents—"
She even tried to comfort Ah Bei at the time...
The girl, experiencing this feeling, realized how naive she had been—she thought that Ah Bei's level of nervousness was roughly the same as when she first came to her grandparents' house to meet them.
Looking at it now...
Far superior.
Logically speaking, it should be easier for a girl to meet her boyfriend's parents—for example, when Zhao Xun met Ma Jiaojiao's parents, everything went smoothly.
—Something seems off…no, no, no.
—Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
but.
Even though Grandpa said that.
“I don’t think your mother will like me…” Ji Qingqian could even see in her grandfather’s eyes: “Grandpa is trying to comfort me, isn’t he?”
"...Uh, bad news, my mom probably really might not like you."
Lu Yibei spoke frankly, and just as Ji Qingqian was about to feel so wronged that she had a headache, Lu Yibei said, "Good news, my mother won't like anything."
Ji Qingqian: ...
"Oh, wait, that's not right."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yibei took back his words: "My mom only likes one thing."
“…What?” Ji Qingqian asked.
"My dad."
After Lu Yibei finished speaking, seeing Ji Qingqian's slightly puzzled expression, he thought for a moment and said, "That's not right either. My dad isn't a thing... he is a thing... ah, not a thing..."
Ji Qingqian couldn't help but chuckle, but immediately changed her expression, sternening her face in a critical tone:
"A tired and overused trope!"
"A good joke is one that makes people laugh."
The two had already stepped into the living room on the third floor.
After locking the door to the living room with his backhand, Lu Yibei hugged his girlfriend tightly.
His girlfriend's soft body nestled into his arms.
Because the weather was warm, she was only wearing a thin sweatshirt.
Lu Yibei pressed the tip of his nose against her neck, as if he were smelling something pleasant.
When the two spoke again, they were already curled up together on the sofa.
“My mom…” Lu Yibei said.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "—Let's talk about my dad first. Talking about my mom definitely requires mentioning my dad first."
Ji Qingqian let her boyfriend hold her tightly. Standing at 1.74 meters tall, she tried her best to appear smaller and snuggled into her boyfriend's arms.
"Mm." She nodded.
“Don’t be fooled by how much Grandpa praises my dad now; their relationship didn’t start out very well—or rather, they just didn’t want to get along,” Lu Yibei said.
