Chapter 226 The Showdown



Zhang Wenbing opened the door and saw Li Dongyang smiling broadly as he held his favorite wine.

"Quick, come in quickly."

"Your teacher's wife has already cooked all the dishes and is just waiting for you."

Li Dongyang placed the items on the cabinet and called out, "Master's wife."

"Please sit down, the dishes are all ready."

"Xiaoyue, go to the kitchen and bring out the dishes."

Zhang Yue placed the snacks on the coffee table and got up.

He glanced at Li Dongyang sideways.

"My mom calls it serving dishes."

She meant that she wanted Li Dongyang to serve the dishes.

At the dinner table.

He Qin asked, "Dongyang, my teacher asked again, are you interested in her granddaughter or not?"

This time, Li Dongyang didn't pretend anymore.

He confronted his teacher's wife directly.

"Master's wife, actually I already have someone I like, and we're already living together."

"I'm all ready. I'll propose to her after the Chinese New Year this year."

He Qin: "??????"

Zhang Wenbing: "??????"

I'd heard Li Dongyang mention it before, but this proposal was so sudden!

When Zhang Yue heard that Li Dongyang already had a girlfriend and they were living together, she slammed her chopsticks on the table.

"I'm full, you guys eat."

Zhang Yue had only taken a few bites of food when she said she was full. That's so unusual!

"I don't know what kind of epileptic seizure this girl is having again. Let's ignore her and keep eating."

Li Dongyang didn't say anything, but turned to look at Zhang Yue's bedroom.

The door was closed. Zhang Yue, who had been cursing him as a scumbag downstairs, immediately threw a tantrum when she heard him say he was going to propose to his current girlfriend.

Could this girl like him?

However, Li Dongyang has always treated Zhang Yue as his own younger sister.

He Qin put a chicken leg in Li Dongyang's bowl.

He chuckled and asked, "Is this the girl your mother mentioned last time?"

She could tell from Xiao Qianwen's words that she was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

I heard she's not only beautiful and has a great temperament, but she's also a really nice person.

He nodded: "Then, I'll decline the offer from the teacher."

"Your teacher and I are very happy that you have found happiness again."

"Next time you have time, bring her over for a meal."

He Qin and the teacher are both careful with their words; they won't say anything carelessly.

Li Dongyang nodded: "I'll bring her with me next time."

"Actually, my girlfriend's teacher had met her before."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenbing rolled his eyes.

"I've seen it? Could it be someone from our company?"

That shouldn't be happening!

"You've been hiding your true colors for a long time."

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Yes, we've already discussed it this year. She'll spend the New Year at my house, and she agreed."

Zhang Wenbing and He Qin both thought this was a good thing.

Feeling happy, I drank another glass.

He Qin glanced at Zhang Wenbing.

"This is a good thing for Dongyang, why are you so happy for him?"

Zhang Wenbing chuckled, "Can't I be happy for him?"

......

Before you know it, the year is almost over.

Li Dongyang was busy finishing up the short drama.

Qin Shuang said that as long as he finishes ahead of schedule, he can be given annual leave in advance, and he can also return to work a week later after the New Year.

They're working overtime right now to catch up on their work.

Xia Nuan went back to Chongqing for the Lunar New Year, and since no one was home, Li Dongyang decided to work on his manuscript in the office.

Xia Nuan was having her reunion dinner with her family at her maternal grandfather's house.

Xia Yi's maternal grandparents were both university professors, and they looked very scholarly with their black-rimmed glasses.

During the meal.

The old man used serving chopsticks to put several pieces of meat into Xia Nuan's bowl.

In the eyes of the elderly, a girl who is about 1.7 meters tall should weigh around 120 kilograms. Seeing how thin Xia Nuan is, they feel sorry for her and have no choice but to accept it.

"Xuelian, tell me, don't you ever pay attention to the child's nutrition when you're home all day? Look how thin Nuannuan has become. What kind of stepmother are you?"

Lin Xuelian was scolded by her mother for no reason.

She wasn't angry at all; instead, she nodded repeatedly, "Mom, I understand. I'll make sure she gets some nourishment when I get back."

Grandma picked up another piece of food and put it into Xia Nuan's bowl.

"Nuan Nuan, are you dating anyone yet?"

Xia Nuan is already 26 years old. In their time, that's old enough to run errands.

"I have a good friend whose family owns a company, a Fortune 500 company. I've met the kid, and I think he's pretty good. If I have time..."

"Grandma, I already have a boyfriend. He's outstanding, handsome, and most importantly, very talented," Xia Nuan interrupted her grandmother.

Grandma didn't know you had a boyfriend, that's why she introduced you to someone.

Knowing that it was available immediately put my mind at ease.

"It's good that it exists, it's good that it exists."

"When will you bring it back so we can see it?"

"By the way, I recently came across your short drama, and your acting was so good that I wondered who could write such a great story."

Of course, it was written by her boyfriend.

Grandma continued, "I knew it! How could someone as outstanding as our Nuannuan not have a boyfriend?"

Xia Yi chimed in, "Grandma, my brother-in-law is very handsome and incredibly capable. He's a real expert at dealing with people. I've already done my research."

Xia Yi had barely finished speaking.

Xia Guanghai and Lin Xuelian both looked at him.

When did this kid meet his sister's boyfriend? How come they don't know?

Xia Yi shrank back when faced with the loving gazes of her parents.

I thought to myself, "Damn, I almost let it slip."

She quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "With my sister being so outstanding, her boyfriend is bound to be outstanding too, right?"
