Xu Yanfeng stood there for a long time, thinking, feeling that something was not right, but also that nothing seemed to be wrong.
With a thoughtful expression on his face, he walked back and sat next to Xia Xi, casually placing his phone on the sofa.
Seeing him like this, Xia Xi couldn't help but feel nervous: "What did you say to Auntie?"
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Xu Yanfeng raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat casual voice, "When I said I was telling the truth, I meant it. I didn't lie a single word."
Xia Xi's heartbeat quickened as she stared at Xu Yanfeng: "Then...how did she react?"
Xu Yanfeng was silent.
Xia Xi suddenly felt something was wrong and for a moment, he couldn't say anything else.
"My mom said she needs to prepare herself mentally," Xu Yanfeng said without hiding anything. "Maybe this happened too suddenly for her. She needs some time to adjust and accept it."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xi slowly lowered her eyes, thinking that Xu Yanfeng was trying to comfort her and was deliberately speaking so tactfully. In fact, his mother could not accept her existence at all, including Ziheng.
She now deeply regretted agreeing to Xu Yanfeng's request and moving in with him.
Xu Yanfeng's mother knew about it, which meant that Xu Guanshan would soon know about it. Did she have to meet Xu Guanshan again?
After all, when she met Xu Guanshan after returning to China, she vowed that she would not have any involvement with Xu Yanfeng outside of work. No matter what happened later, from Xu Guanshan's perspective, she broke her promise.
While she was lost in thought, Xu Yanfeng touched her face with the back of his hand. The cool touch brought Xia Xi back to her senses. She raised her eyes slightly and said calmly, "You shouldn't tell the truth."
Just make up an excuse to get away with it.
"You don't want my family to know?" When he said this, Xu Yanfeng's expression became a little serious.
He felt like they had a tacit understanding between them for a long time. He had never let her go, and she still loved him. Seven years had passed, and it seemed like both of them had changed, but it also seemed like nothing had changed. Getting back together was just a matter of her saying something. He didn't know what had gone wrong, but she seemed to be becoming very resistant.
Is it because Zhong Yinghong caught her in his house today that made her feel embarrassed and uncomfortable?
However, if they are together, they will eventually meet the parents and get married. Hasn't she thought that far?
"At least in my opinion, although my mother was a little surprised to see you, she definitely doesn't dislike you." Xu Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled and his voice lowered. "Do you have any concerns?"
"I……"
Just as Xia Xi uttered a word, Aunt Zhang happened to come over. She didn't know that the two were talking, and said cheerfully: "The meal is ready, you can eat now."
Xia Xi swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and put down the uneaten chestnut cake: "Let's eat."
The family of three sat around the dining table. Xia Xi had a poor appetite and ate slowly. He drank some soup and then stopped eating.
"Are you full after just a few bites?" Xu Yanfeng picked up a piece of yam for her, "Eat more."
Xia Xi shook her head: "I just ate half a chestnut cake, I'm not very hungry."
Xu Yanfeng: "I should have let you eat it after dinner."
Ziheng glanced at Xia Xi, scooped a spoonful of mixed vegetables with a spoon, put it into the small bowl in front of Xia Xi, and urged her crisply: "Mom, eat a few more bites, you've lost weight."
"Okay." Xia Xi looked at the colorful corn kernels, green beans, winter bamboo shoots, diced ham, etc. in the bowl, and her appetite was slightly aroused. She picked up the chopsticks again and picked up the grains one by one to eat.
Xu Yanfeng: “…”
This discrimination is too obvious.
Ziheng pursed his lips and chuckled. Xu Yanfeng stared at him. When their eyes met, Ziheng tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and made a face. Xu Yanfeng was speechless and amused.

After leaving Xu Yanfeng's residence, Zhong Yinghong was not in the mood to wander around, so she took a bus back home.
Xu Guanshan was resting at home today. Knowing that his wife had gone to meet that unfilial son, he did not wait for her at lunch and sat alone in the huge restaurant.
The surroundings were cold and quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The servants didn't dare to make any loud noises while doing their work.
The crisp sound of Zhong Yinghong's high heels could be heard. Xu Guanshan's eyelids fluttered slightly, and he looked back, a little surprised: "You're back so early? Have you had lunch?"
Zhong Yinghong lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, then realized belatedly that she had forgotten to change her slippers when she entered the house. Just as she was about to go back to the entrance, the nanny came quickly over with her slippers, bent down and placed them at her feet, then took the bag from her hand.
Holding the back of the sofa next to her, Zhong Yinghong changed into slippers and walked towards the restaurant.
"I didn't eat." Zhong Yinghong said, "I just chatted for a few minutes and then came back."
She hadn't even seen Xu Yanfeng in person, and the so-called "chat" she had was with his girlfriend. To be precise, she wasn't really a girlfriend yet, because Xu Yanfeng himself admitted that he hadn't gotten her yet.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xu Guanshan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Did you have a bad chat?"
"Not really." Zhong Yinghong frowned, then quickly relaxed, not wanting her husband to notice.
The servant heard their conversation, brought over a set of bowls and chopsticks, and asked if they wanted a few more dishes. Zhong Yinghong shook her head and took a few bites of the food on the table.
Xu Guanshan had already finished his meal. He rarely had the patience to sit with her. He lit a cigarette and said, "Have you asked him what he thinks? He's still not considering marriage?"
Zhong Yinghong choked, and the servant poured her a cup of warm water. She picked it up and took a sip, then turned her head to observe her husband's expression. She secretly made up her mind to keep it from him for the time being.
Xu Yanfeng fell in love with a woman with a child, and the child was five or six years old. He took the mother and child to his own territory, which showed that he was really interested in them and it was not a joke.
