Yan Meng's appearance deepened the smiles on the faces of the two elders of the Ming family.
Yan Meng saw us sitting at the main table at a glance and walked straight towards us with a faint smile.
He respectfully greeted Mingsi and the two elders of the Ming family. The old man of the Ming family looked at him with a smile and pulled him to sit at the main table.
"After not seeing you for a few years, Yan Meng has become more and more stable!" Old Master Ming praised Yan Meng highly, not hiding the admiration in his eyes.
Madam Ming also agreed, "Yes, he has matured a lot, not like before. Back then, he was always so arrogant and conceited!"
Mingsi listened from the side with a smile on his face.
It sounds like the two elders of the Ming family watched Yan Meng grow up.
Yan Meng smiled coquettishly, "Grandpa and grandma are making fun of me again. I was young and hot-tempered back then! Now I am much more restrained."
Seeing them chatting happily, I suddenly understood.
I always thought that the Yan family and the Tang family were old friends, but now it seems that the Ming family is an old friend of the Yan family.
Madam Ming looked at Yan Meng and asked with concern, "You're almost thirty, when are you planning to get married?"
"That's still too early!" Yan Meng explained with a smile, "The prerequisite for getting married is that I have to find a girlfriend first."
Madam Ming was surprised and said, "You're still single? This is outrageous. A man as ambitious and handsome as you wouldn't have any trouble finding a girlfriend. Are you focusing all your attention on your work? That won't do. You need to hurry up!"
"Don't listen to your grandma's nonsense. That's just a woman's opinion. Men should focus on their careers." Old Master Ming held the opposite attitude, as if he was deliberately going against Old Madam Ming.
Yan Meng quickly responded with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm not that ambitious. It's just that my standards are high. I don't like those who like me, and as for those I like——"
Yan Meng suddenly paused, gave me a meaningful look, and then continued with self-deprecating smile: "People may not be attracted to me."
The way he looked at me was so ambiguous that it could pull out threads, and it also made my body stiffen when I was caught off guard.
The ambiguous tone, the sticky eyes, and the meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth all made people suspect that the "person he liked" was me.
The Ming family members all looked at me, vaguely guessing the relationship between Yan Meng and me. Looking at their complicated expressions, I knew it must be a misunderstanding.
I felt so embarrassed that I cursed Yan Meng a thousand times in my heart, and deliberately complimented Yan Meng: "For someone as outstanding as Yan Meng, the one who can match him must also be a successful and outstanding person."
I tried my best to distance myself from the matter and didn't want the Ming family to misunderstand me.
However, Yan Meng suddenly praised me at an inopportune moment: "Yes, like you, Xiaoshan, you have strong work ability and can lead a good team. No matter who you marry in the future, you will definitely be a good wife."
I smiled stiffly. The atmosphere became even more ambiguous. The more I explained, the worse it got...
While no one was paying attention, I secretly gave Yan Meng a look.
My intuition tells me that he definitely did it on purpose.
The two elders of the Ming family insisted on keeping Yan Meng to dine at the main table. During the meal, I kept avoiding Yan Meng's sight, and the meal was inexplicably awkward.
Tang Tianxiang was still toasting with his relatives and friends, while Mingsi was eating slowly with the two elders of the Ming family, and from time to time he picked up some food for Yan Meng to eat more.
I really had no appetite, so I stood up and explained to Mingsi, "I'm full. It's a bit stuffy here. I'm going out for some fresh air."
