Chapter 83: Pretending to be cool
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Ai and her father Yan Zexun brought carefully selected gifts and went to the compound in Xicheng District to visit Academician Song.
They had already greeted Academician Song before coming, but when they arrived, they found that there were other people visiting Academician Song.
When Yan Ai saw clearly who had come, her forehead suddenly throbbed, and she instantly understood why Academician Gao had come to the base to see her during lunch break on Wednesday.
But it was clear that in her previous life, Academician Gao had not been involved in these matters, and she had not met those two so early...
"What are you doing standing at the door, girl? Come in quickly!"
Academician Song's kind and gentle voice brought Yan Ai back to her senses.
Then she heard Academician Song say to her father with a smile, "Aze, you came at the right time. I have other guests here today. Let me introduce them to you."
Seeing this, the two young men who were sitting in the living room drinking tea also put down their teacups and stood up.
Yan Ai followed Yan Zexun quietly, intending to speak as little as possible and act cool, because Yang Weizhao was a quiet and taciturn person, and Gong Yanan was a slow-warm person. As long as the three of them kept silent, this matter might be over.
That's right, the other two young men who came to visit Academician Song were Minister Yang's son Yang Weizhao and Commander Gong's son Gong Yan'an. One of them was a pilot and the other was a doctor. Because they met two years earlier than in their previous life, they both looked younger than Yan Ai remembered.
Academician Song smiled and asked everyone to take a seat. After a few brief greetings, Academician Song formally introduced the four of them to each other.
When Yang Weizhao and Gong Yan'an were introduced, Yan Zexun met Academician Song's meaningful eyes and understood instantly.
It turned out that Academician Song wanted to introduce two partners to his daughter.
Academician Song was not aware of Yan Ai's secret marriage and divorce. Yan Zexun respected his daughter's wishes and never revealed a word to anyone.
But now this situation...
Yan Zexun subconsciously looked at Yan Ai. Yan Ai's expression was normal, and she was drinking tea quietly with the cup in hand.
This was a strange combination. Academician Song and Yan Zexun were fine because they had known each other for many years and there was no awkwardness in their casual chat. However, the three young men next to them all sat quietly drinking tea as listeners, and would only respond politely when they were occasionally called.
"By the way, why isn't Grandpa Song here?"
Yan Ai finally took the initiative to ask at the right moment. No matter how "quiet" she was, she couldn't remain silent. She could only try her best to avoid eye contact with Gong Yan'an and Yang Weizhao.
Academician Song and her husband both have the surname Song. As for Yan Ai's silence today, she just thought that Yan Ai was shy. After all, this was such an obvious "blind date" and everyone present was smart, so how could they not understand?
When Yan Ai asked about her husband, Academician Song smiled and said, "The old man knows you will come over this afternoon. He will go to the kitchen to watch the people catch fish and the aunt make fish soup. Just let him be busy."
Hearing this, Yan Zexun's eyes lit up with a nostalgic smile, "The fish soup that Mr. Song personally taught me to make is uniquely fresh and delicious."
If even a "master chef" like Yan Zexun praises it, it must be very delicious.
When Yan Ai was a child, she would often drink the delicious fish soup made by Grandpa Song himself when she visited Academician Song’s home with her mother.
Now that Grandpa Song is old, he has taken on the role of providing guidance. Even though the taste cannot be guaranteed to be exactly the same as what Grandpa Song makes himself, there is a certain degree of quality assurance.
After Yan Zexun finished praising him, he asked Gong Yan'an and Yang Weizhao, "Have you ever tried Mr. Song's fish soup before? If not, you must try it later."
Both of them shook their heads and nodded.
"Sure." Gong Yan'an was the one who responded. The man had a solemn look on his face and was calm beyond his age. It might be related to his profession. He was a cardiac surgeon.
