That evening, when He Ci returned to the old house, He Jin was already waiting at the door.
He got out of the car and started being inappropriate, saying, "Beautiful lady, how much did you miss me that you were here to greet me at the door?"
He Jin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Would it kill you to speak properly? You dare to flirt with your own sister."
He Ci put his arm around He Jin's shoulder and began to fawn over him, asking about his well-being. He Jin knew what he wanted to ask and asked directly.
"Don't worry, my darling, the baby isn't here. Tonight is a family dinner."
He Ci breathed a sigh of relief; he was afraid of those three young ladies.
As soon as the two entered the hall, He Ci saw his father sitting in the center and his mother sitting beside him.
He Ci ignored He Zhan and walked up to Zhu Xia, kissing her on the cheek.
"Mom, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days."
Zhu Xia poked He Ci's forehead and said coquettishly, "You're so glib."
Seeing that he was being ignored, He Zhan clenched his fist and coughed lightly. Zhu Xia received the signal and winked at her son. He Ci pretended not to see it and sat down next to Zhu Xia to drink tea.
Zhu Xia pinched He Ci's thigh from below, and He Ci reluctantly called for help.
"dad."
When He Zhan heard his son call him, a long-lost smile appeared on his face. It had been so long since the father and son had been so harmonious.
"Our family hasn't been together like this in a long time. We'll come home for meals more often in the future."
He Ci nodded. At the dinner table, Zhu Xia talked most about urging him to get married. He Zhan just listened without daring to interrupt, afraid that if he said too much, the father-son relationship that had been hard-won would be lost.
"Aci, tell your mother the truth, which of the three do you like? I'll arrange a marriage proposal for you tomorrow."
He Jin watched He Ci with amusement, occasionally offering a few words of comment.
"I think Qin Lu is good, Yu Ping is also very good, and although Lu Na is a bit assertive, she can be your help in the future."
Zhu Xia also thought Luna was good. "Aci, what do you think of the one from the Lu family? Her family background is a good match for you."
He Zhan also hoped that his son would choose the Lu family, as only the Lu family could help He Ci in the future among the three families.
"Mom, don't worry about it. I don't like any of the three of them."
He Jin's lips curled slightly. "Little brother, I'm starting to doubt your abilities! That girl stripped naked and climbed into your bed the other day, but she still ran away in the end."
He Ci nearly choked on the rice in her mouth. "Miss He, who do you look down on?"
"I'm fickle, not promiscuous. I won't touch someone I don't like even if they're naked."
"Oh! Does our young master He have someone he likes?"
When He Ci thought of his beloved Su Ning, the tenderness in his eyes almost drowned He Jin.
He Jin looked at him suspiciously, wondering if this kid really had someone he liked.
Judging from his infatuated look, I wonder who has the ability to take this younger brother away.
Su Ning looked at the wall clock; it was almost ten o'clock. She took out her phone and dialed He Ci's number.
The call connected quickly, and Su Ning's gentle voice reached the other party's ears.
"Brother Ci, when are you coming home?"
When He Ci came out of the restroom, she saw He Jin holding her phone. He Ci checked her pockets and realized that she hadn't noticed when the phone had fallen out.
He stepped forward and snatched the phone back from He Jin's hand. When he saw that it was Su Ning calling, he smiled.
"Sweetie, why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"
Su Ning felt a tightness in her chest when she heard a woman answer the phone.
He Ci didn't hear Su Ning's response, so he called out a few more times.
"Little Darling! Is Little Darling still there?"
"Brother Ci! I'm here. I just wanted to ask you, are you going home tonight?"
He Ci glanced at his watch and realized it was already so late. Xiao Guai must be getting impatient.
"Little darling, you go to sleep first. I need to wait a while before I get home."
After hanging up the phone, He Ci turned around and saw He Jin smiling somewhat ambiguously.
"Who is Xiao Guai! You wouldn't be keeping a mistress hidden away, would you?"
"Miss He, I never knew you were such a gossip before."
He Ci picked up his coat, said goodbye to Zhu Xia, and was about to leave.
Zhu Xia had thought her son would stay tonight, but said, "Aci, it's so late, don't leave. It's not safe on the road."
He Ci waved his hand, "I'll come see you again when I have time. I'm going home now."
Zhu Xia sighed, and He Jin smiled and stepped forward to comfort her.
"Why are you sighing, Mom! If you keep this person here, do you still want to hold your grandson in the future?"
Zhu Xia looked at He Jin; the words "holding a grandson" had a huge impact on her.
My son is already twenty-seven or twenty-eight and still refuses to get married. I never expected that he would be quietly doing something big.
