The next morning, as soon as Xia Lin'an got up, he received a text message from Fu Yiming.

"Call me back after you get up. - Fu."

Xia Linan made a suspicious call, and the call was picked up after a while.

Fu Yiming's deep voice sounded: "Are you up?"

Xia Linan yawned, responded in a muffled voice, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Receiving Fu Yiming's message early in the morning made Xia Lin'an wonder whether Fu Yiming had slept last night.

Fu Yiming was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said, "An An, can you get Auntie to come out today?"

Fu Yiming's words completely drove away Xia Linan's sleepiness. She woke up with a start and asked in a big way, "What? Let my mom come out?"

Fu Yiming coughed a few times and said, "Yes, it's about our future. I want to talk to her."

Xia Linan was frightened and stammered, "What do you want to talk to her about?"

It was hard for Xia Linan not to think wrongly when Fu Yiming suddenly proposed to meet Zhou Linlang. Moreover, Fu Yiming was a dark figure and it was hard to guarantee that he had no plans in mind.

Fu Yiming was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "An An, please believe me, okay?"

Xia Linan realized that Fu Yiming was a little unhappy, so she asked hesitantly, "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Fu Yiming said, "Invite your mother out, just the two of you, and don't let anyone else know."

Fu Yiming was so mysterious that Xia Linan couldn't help but frown, but she still agreed: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone with Fu Yiming, Xia Linan immediately washed up and went downstairs. He found Zhou Linlang in the garden, who was arranging flowers.

Xia Linan looked around, then walked over naturally, hugged Zhou Linlang affectionately, and called out, "Mom."

"Where are my dad and brother?" Xia Lin'an asked puzzledly.

Zhou Linlang put down the scissors and said, "They went to the company."

Xia Linan was overjoyed and happened to meet Xia Shixun and Xia Yansi going out?

She moved closer and whispered to Zhou Linlang, "Mom, there's someone who wants to see you."

"Who?" Zhou Linlang glanced at her and asked.

Xia Linan quickly said a name: "Fu Yiming."

Zhou Linlang put down the flower branch, raised an eyebrow at Xia Linan, and asked, "Did you chase me here?"

Xia Linan's cheeks flushed, she nodded and said, "He wants to see you."

Zhou Linlang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are we the only two?"

Xia Linan conveyed these words to her so mysteriously that Zhou Linlang guessed that Fu Yiming might not want Xia Shixun to know, and it was related to Xia Linan.

Xia Linan gave Zhou Linlang a thumbs up and acknowledged her guess.

Zhou Linlang didn't say anything. She said calmly, "Then change your clothes and go."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xia Lin'an was startled and followed closely.

When it comes to domineering, her mother is the strongest and can compete with Fu Yiming.

Before Zhou Linlang and Xia Lin'an left, they said to the housekeeper, "My mother and I haven't been out shopping for a long time. Let's go out for a walk today. If the master comes back and asks about it, just say we will be back soon."

"Yes, ma'am." The butler responded respectfully.

Xia Linan drove himself and brought Zhou Linlang to the place where Fu Yiming had agreed to meet.

It is a very secret teahouse. The owner has a strange personality and guests who don't like it are generally not allowed to enter this teahouse.

At the entrance of the teahouse, Xia Linan unexpectedly met Wang Yihan.

Wang Yihan bowed slightly to them and said to Xia Linan, "Madam Xia, the boss is not available to show up. Please forgive me. Miss Xia, the boss is waiting for you inside."

Zhou Linlang expressed her understanding and walked in with Xia Linan.

As soon as he entered the private room, Fu Yiming stood up straight, straightened his suit, walked towards them, stretched out his hand to Zhou Linlang, and greeted her, "Auntie, hello, I'm Fu Yiming, Xia Linan's boyfriend."

When Fu Yiming introduced his relationship with Xia Linan, he made eye contact with her, then straightened his back and accepted Zhou Linlang's scrutiny.

Zhou Linlang looked him up and down, feeling quite satisfied, nodded slightly, and said to him, "Hello, Mr. Fu."

"Just call me Yiming." Fu Yiming said.

"Hey, hey, let's all sit down. Aren't you tired of standing?"

Xia Linan came out to smooth things over, helped Zhou Linlang sit down, then patted Fu Yiming's arm and motioned him to sit down.

Fu Yiming personally poured tea for Zhou Linlang and Xia Linan, and then said to Xia Linan, "Anan, I don't quite understand what Auntie likes. Can you help me order some snacks? Thank you for your help."

Xia Lin'an blinked, as if she understood Fu Yiming's intention, but she was confused in her heart. Was there anything she couldn't listen to?

Zhou Linlang glanced at Xia Linan and said to her, "Just go when I tell you to."

Xia Linan said "Oh" reluctantly and left the private room.

In the private room, Zhou Linlang and Fu Yiming sat opposite each other. Fu Yiming humbly faced Zhou Linlang and said, "Auntie, it's really a conflict for me to ask you out today. But since it's about An An, I can't wait any longer."

Zhou Linlang could guess Fu Yiming's intention, but she didn't expect him to say it so directly, without the pedantry and euphemism of those hypocrites.

Zhou Linlang praised inwardly and said calmly, "What do you want to say?"

Fu Yiming asked, "Auntie, do you know that Uncle Xia plans to announce An An and her brother's marriage at the annual meeting?"

Zhou Linlang was silent. This reaction clearly showed that she knew about this matter.

Fu Yiming's eyes darkened, and he continued, "Aunt, An An and I are in love with the purpose of getting married. My future, her future, and our future are all included in the future."

"An An and I love each other, and I am determined to take care of her and love her for the rest of my life. So, I don't know why you and Uncle Xia want to marry her off to someone else?"

"Is it because I am not qualified enough? Or am I not good enough to An An? Please point it out, Auntie. I will definitely correct it. But please don't break up a pair of lovers."

Xia Linan, who had turned back because she forgot to bring her cell phone, stood outside the private room. When she heard the man's powerful voice, her eyes became inexplicably moist.

Before they were together, Fu Yiming had said the same thing to her, and Xia Lin'an never doubted it.

When she heard the same words again today, Xia Linan suddenly realized that she did not seem to have made the same promise to Fu Yiming or met the same requirements.

All along, it was Fu Yiming who was giving, while she was enjoying the sweet fruits of this love.
