Even though she knew it was all an act, Xie Yunyun genuinely liked Sanwa and naturally cared about how his family perceived her.
She wondered, "They're all so outstanding, surely they wouldn't dislike me?"
Sanwa's text message kept her awake at night.
Because you care too much, you become anxious and insecure.
When Xie Yunyun arrived at the office, she looked tired and asked her secretary to bring her extra coffee.
After drinking coffee, she perked up and threw herself into her work.
Even after announcing her relationship, Sanwa maintained the same frequency.
They would also contact Xie Yunyun to discuss the time and place for a date.
In order to ensure she could leave work on time, Xie Yunyun became increasingly efficient and decisive during work hours.
The people in the company were unaware of the reason, and some even whispered among themselves that maybe the female boss had been single for too long and had suffered some kind of shock.
It wasn't until someone saw Xie Yunyun having dinner with a man outside, chatting and laughing, that they were shocked and spread the gossip back to the company.
"The female demon is suspected of being in a relationship."
"The female demon has a boyfriend."
"The female demon's boyfriend is very handsome."
The secretary, the only one to uncover the truth, kept her merits hidden.
"So you know about this too." Sanwa was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, I just read this book when I was bored," Xie Yunyun said with a smile.
It wasn't out of boredom; she bought the physics books to study in order to get closer to him.
Even if I don't understand it, I will try my best to keep reading.
Initially, it was just to complete the predetermined goals and tasks, but as they got to know each other better, Sanwa felt that Xie Yunyun was a good friend to him, and he felt that he deserved it.
At least every time he went on a date, his experience was comfortable.
After finishing the meal, he said, "When do you think I'll take you to meet my family?"
This kind of thing naturally needs to be discussed. This is a major event, and the two of them may need to discuss some details and rehearse a few times.
Yunyun's heart skipped a beat. Was she really going to have to meet him?
However, she still smiled and said, "As long as it's not during work hours, I'm fine with anything. Yan An, you can choose the time." That's right, she was now addressing him that way.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell my family so they can be mentally prepared."
Jin'er and the others will be starting school soon, let's do it before the children start school.
Let those kids meet people too, so they won't speculate about anything unfounded later.
Sanwa is very proactive, and brought it up during one of his dinners.
"You want to bring Yunyun to our house? Sure, you can." Zhao Qinglan smiled.
She had only met the girl once many years ago at the school gate, and she couldn't even remember what she looked like. It was a good opportunity to see her again.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai both thought that since Sanwa was dating someone, he must have remembered and learned about the connection between him and Yunyun from childhood to university.
With her mother's consent, Sanwa informed Xie Yunyun.
Xie Yunyun had no choice but to quickly start preparing for the meeting.
What clothes should I wear? What accessories and bags should I bring? Oh, and what gift should I bring when I visit?
She couldn't go empty-handed on her first visit.
Just to be on the safe side, she consulted her "boyfriend" directly.
When Sanwa heard that she was going to bring a gift, he said nonchalantly, "My mom doesn't care about those things, as long as it's the thought that counts."
Xie Yunyun thought about it and agreed. With Aunt Zhao's wealth, she had seen all sorts of good things. She could just prepare a gift with care.
The news that Sanwa was bringing his girlfriend home quickly spread among the family members.
Not only did Xiaoduo and Jirou say they wanted to go home and watch that day, but even several of the older generation were eager to try it out.
It was Zhao Qinglan who was worried that too many people would frighten Xie Yunyun, so she persuaded her mother and uncle to stay.
The couple, Erwa and his wife, didn't feel comfortable making a special trip over this, but they repeatedly told their son to report back to them afterwards.
Jing'er readily agreed.
The day finally arrived for Xie Yunyun to visit.
Even though the house was already clean, Zhao Qinglan still led the housekeeper and several children to clean it again thoroughly.
We bought a lot of ingredients and are waiting to make a sumptuous lunch.
It was the weekend, and Li Huai was taking a rare break at home.
Sanwa didn't let Xie Yunyun drive herself. After finding out her home address, he drove over to pick her up.
Xie Yunyun, dressed up carefully, got into the car with the gifts she had prepared.
"So you live here." As soon as they got in the car, Sanwa started chatting.
"Well, when I was buying the house, I looked around everywhere and felt that the infrastructure here was good and the price was right, so I bought it."
"By the way, since you're accompanying me to meet my family, do you also need me to meet your family once?" Sanwa remembered that Xie Yunyun had said she was willing to act because of pressure from her family.
So far, Xie Yunyun hasn't asked him to do anything.
"Not for now," she smiled.
"Who else is in your family? I've never heard you mention it."
Thinking of her home, Xie Yunyun's smile faded, and she said with some melancholy, "My father has passed away, and I have no brothers or sisters. My mother is all alone at home."
Sanwa saw a hint of sadness on her face in the rearview mirror.
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
Xie Yunyun smiled. "It's nothing, it's just the truth."
"So, does your aunt live in her hometown now?"
"Yes, actually I wanted to bring my mom to live with me and enjoy a comfortable life, but she didn't want to, so I could only hire a housekeeper for her..."
In Sanwa's mind, Xie Yunyun's image became more real and vivid.
He felt that he admired the character of a girl who was strong-willed, independent, and shouldered the heavy burden of her family, and he also felt a little pity for her.
