Oh.
If we were to describe Minister Gu's feelings at this moment, he would certainly be happy!
Now that's great! I don't need to prepare anything anymore. Once I meet the parents, they'll be family!
Pfft, Minister Gu's mind was already racing with calculations.
As expected of Minister Gu!
Grandpa Gu's gaze immediately fell on Editor-in-Chief Xia, his smile growing ever wider. It was only after Grandpa Ye subtly nudged him from behind that Grandpa Gu managed to suppress the excited expression on his face.
"Alright, alright, come in, everyone, let's get ready to eat."
With Yingying around, the little dumpling naturally dared not say anything outrageous again, and obediently held onto her mother's clothes as she walked inside.
Xia Hong felt a chill run down her spine and really wanted to leave immediately.
Although the old men's gazes were no longer on her, the feeling here always made Xia Hong want to escape.
A very strong sixth sense told me that if I didn't run away, I might never escape in this lifetime!
Xia Hong is not used to this feeling and cannot accept it.
So, I'm not sure what to do.
Ye Wanying put down the vegetables in her hand, and seeing that the person next to her did not react, she took two steps forward and took the vegetables from Xia Hong's hand.
Xia Hong then came to her senses.
"Don't you need to use the restroom? Let's go together."
Um?
Xia Hong was stunned.
Ye Wanying had already taken Xia Hong's hand and was walking outside.
Naturally, the two of them together did not attract anyone's attention.
Once outside, Xia Hong finally breathed a slight sigh of relief:
"Yingying, you...."
"Alright, of course I'm on your side, Sister Hong. Since you're unwilling, then let Minister Gu continue to work hard."
"Ahem... what are you saying?" Xia Hong felt very uncomfortable.
Ye Wanying let go of his hand:
"Sister Hong, are you sure you want to leave at this time?" she asked.
There was a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Xia Hong frowned slightly again, lost in thought. After a while, she finally looked up:
"I'm not leaving! If I leave now, it would be disrespectful to the old men. What will they think of me afterward?"
The Xia family is not a small or insignificant family in Kyoto, so it's inevitable that there will be times when we interact with them.
This answer was actually expected.
In Ye Wanying's memory, her editor-in-chief was not someone who didn't understand social etiquette.
Therefore, the answer is easy to guess.
Saying she came out to use the restroom was just a way to get some fresh air. After all, the atmosphere inside was... well, it was probably suffocatingly heavy for Xia Hong.
"Then quickly wash your face and hands, and go back to eat."
"Um!"
Once I've thought it through and talked it out, it's really nothing.
The two were out for a few minutes. When they returned, everyone was already seated, but no one had touched their chopsticks, clearly waiting.
"You're back! We can start eating now!" Old Master Gu said with a smile.
Now, even Yingying felt a little embarrassed. How could she possibly make the two old men and Grandma Hui wait for her, a junior?
As for Minister Gu, although he was playing with a certain chubby little hand, his peripheral vision was fixed on a certain direction.
When he saw the figure step in, Minister Gu's previously cold and stern face instantly brightened.
The little dumpling sitting to the side must have felt it the most, after all, her second uncle had been cold before, and she almost thought the temperature had dropped.
The little boy's eyes darted around, and then he said, "Second Uncle, can you let go of Tuanzi's little hands now? Tuanzi wants to eat."
