“Aunt Pei, Pei Kaiwen and I are just friends,” Yan Yirou clarified.
However, Madam Su smiled and waved her hand: "Don't worry, Aunt Pei won't tell anyone, hehehe..."
Ji Moyan desperately wanted to shake her awake: This is real, it's real!
Yan Yirou was taken aback at first, and then said helplessly, "Aunt Pei, you've really made a mistake. Pei Kaiwen and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Seeing that her expression didn't seem like a shy denial, Madam Su's smile gradually froze, and she looked at Ji Moyan as if seeking confirmation.
Ji Moyan's first thought was, "They've finally looked at me!"
"Rou Rou is telling the truth!"
Ji Moyan spoke with considerable certainty, looking at her and asking, "Where did you hear this rumor from?"
Mrs. Su thought for a moment: "I overheard it at the banquet yesterday, but I'm not sure who said it. I thought it was something the two families had agreed on."
Yan Yirou suddenly realized that her mother had attended some kind of banquet yesterday.
Suddenly, Ji Moyan dropped a bombshell: "That's impossible. If the two families had agreed on something, it was me and Madam Yan who made the agreement first. Besides, Rou Rou spent New Year's Eve at my house and came back with my third son."
Yan Yirou was startled.
But it seems that this is not wrong. It is estimated that only Wu Bao and Si Shao know about her acting with Gu Chenye, so she is still Gu Chenye's girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Yan Yirou had a sudden inspiration: Could it be that her aunt came to the Chinese medicine pharmacy specifically to find her?
Mrs. Su's expression changed repeatedly. So, tonight's dinner was a way for them to cultivate the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Then she said the wrong thing.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu wasn't one to hold grudges. Mrs. Su smiled and apologized, "It turns out I made a mistake. I'm so sorry. Mrs. Gu, how about I treat you both to dinner tonight?"
Just as Yan Yirou was about to refuse, Ji Moyan smiled and said, "Then thank you for your hospitality, Madam Su."
Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became even brighter: "Not at all, it's an honor for our restaurant that Mrs. Gu can come to dine. Have you two ordered yet? I'll go to the kitchen and arrange for someone to serve the dishes as soon as possible."
"You arrived just as I was about to order."
Ji Moyan chuckled and handed the heavy menu to Yan Yirou: "Rou Rou, see what you like to eat. Don't be polite with your Aunt Pei, she's rich."
Mrs. Su's lips twitched slightly, thinking to herself, "No one is as rich as you, Gu family!"
"Okay." Yan Yirou felt immense pressure.
But only a short while later, Yan Yirou opened the menu and ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish. She then handed the menu back to Ji Moyan, somewhat embarrassed, saying, "Auntie, I didn't know your tastes..."
"As long as it's not too spicy, I'm fine with it." Ji Mo Yan only ordered one dish and one soup, which were the restaurant's signature dishes.
"Please wait a moment, your food will be served shortly."
Mrs. Su picked up the menu and left.
When the manager and the waiters served the dishes, there were three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a soup, and a bottle of homemade peach blossom wine, all of which were specially requested by Madam Su.
Yan Yirou was taken aback.
Ji Moyan was not surprised and said to the restaurant manager, "Please thank your wife for me. I'll invite her to afternoon tea another day. I hope she will do me the honor."
"I will convey Mrs. Gu's kind invitation to my wife. I wish you both a pleasant meal."
After speaking, the restaurant manager left the private room.
The food at Su Family Restaurant was quite good. Firstly, she didn't know what to talk about with her elders, and secondly, she didn't want to waste any food, so Yan Yirou focused on eating.
Having achieved her goal, Ji Moyan smiled and casually asked, "Rou Rou, has A Ye contacted you recently?"
Yan Yirou quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and replied carefully, "He must be very busy lately, and when he's patrolling at sea, he sometimes goes into areas without signal, but he will chat with me whenever he has time."
In fact, she hadn't received any news from Gu Chenye since the day he suddenly left the capital.
Ji Moyan earnestly reminded her: "Rou Rou, you can't protect him like this. Men have a bad nature. The better you treat him, the more they will take advantage of you. You also need to keep a close eye on him. Only then will he be devoted to you."
"Cough cough, I didn't..."
Yan Yirou coughed twice in surprise, then met her gaze and immediately became serious: "Auntie, I understand!"
Ji Moyan comforted her, saying, "Of course, I'm happiest that you two have such a good relationship. As for those rumors outside, don't worry, I'll take care of them."
Yan Yirou gave a sweet, innocent smile: "Thank you for your concern, Auntie."
She suddenly had a bold guess: her aunt had known about the rumors all along, which was why she invited her to dinner.
That's why we chose Su Family Restaurant.
Although it doesn't sound nice, given Aunt Pei's sharp tongue, the rumors about her and Pei Kaiwen will probably disappear in a couple of days.
Adding to the fact that her aunt had mentioned inviting Aunt Pei for afternoon tea, the more she thought about it, the more she realized it made sense.
Yan, the tool, pursed her lips.
In that case, her relationship with Gu Chenye should be a done deal.
Yan Yirou was unsure if this was what she wanted.
She never originally intended to get married in the book.
But after her identity was discovered, she was bound to Gu Chenye. He was often away from the capital, and she could escape and not think about this problem, but now she had no choice but to think about it.
About an hour later, Yan Yirou and Ji Moyan hugged at the entrance of the restaurant, and then got into their respective cars.
On her way back to the Yan family home, Yan Yirou held her phone, hesitating whether to call Shangguan Wu. She was also worried about bothering the couple again at this time.
On the other side, Ji Moyan didn't hesitate at all and took out her phone to call Gu Chenye.
Unfortunately, Gu Chenye's phone was switched off.
Ji Moyan then called the second brother, Gu Chenge.
The phone rang a few times, and then Gu Chenge's voice came from the other end: "Mom."
Ji Moyan said "Eh" and asked directly, "Second brother, can you contact the third brother now?"
Gu Chenge sighed on the other end of the phone, feigning sadness in her voice: "You called me just to find Lao San?"
However, no one knows a son better than his mother. Ji Moyan calmly said, "Son, how about we video chat? Let Mom see if you're really crying."
Gu Chenge's lips twitched: "..."
His tone returned to normal as he guessed, "If the third brother's phone is off, he must be out on patrol. There are rules against carrying personal phones on patrol, so if you want to find him, you'll have to wait until his patrol is over."
"Alright." Since that was the rule, Ji Moyan had no choice but to tell him, "If you contact the third brother, tell him that the Pei family intends to form a marriage alliance with the Yan family, and ask him to come back as soon as possible to confirm his status. Otherwise, it's uncertain whether he will be the groom when Rou Rou gets married."
When the call ended, Gu Chenge's mind was filled with question marks: "???"
