She said
Chen Shuning pursed her lips, slowly took the chopsticks, and silently watched Xu Xi scoop the pickled fish slices into the bowl.
She asked Xu Xi softly, "Would you like some wine?"
Xu Xi raised her eyes and handed the pickled fish fillets to Chen Shuning.
"Sure, drink some if you want."
"Want me to go out and buy something? Beer or something?"
Chen Shuning put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "We have some at home. I'll go get it."
While Xu Xi was getting the wine, she opened the durian mille-feuille cake. Chen Shuning came over with a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses, and gently placed them on the coffee table.
She asked Xu Xi. "Can I drink red wine?"
"Yes, sure." Xu Xi nodded.
When they sobered up, they ate pickled fish and cake. Xu Xi kept putting fish slices on Chen Shuning's plate, asking her to eat more. Chen Shuning looked at the full bowl of fish slices. She had clearly eaten almost a bowl of fish slices, but now there was still such a full bowl?
Chen Shuning asked Xu Xi in a puzzled voice, "What size did you buy? How come there are so many? I'm almost full."
Xu Xi blinked. "The biggest portion. It's okay, take your time and rest for a while before eating again."
Chen Shuning picked up a piece of fish and ate it. He asked Xu Xi tentatively, "You didn't eat tonight, did you?"
Ordering so much, how could the largest portion be enough for one or two people? Was Xu Xi afraid that she would starve to death?
Xu Xi looked up, stunned for a moment. "I ate it. I went back to my parents' house to eat. They made spare ribs today."
At this moment, Xu Xi suddenly remembered that this was a good opportunity to invite Chen Shuning to go home with her to meet her parents next time. Regardless of whether Chen Shuning agreed or not, at least she would know that someone was willing to accept them as they were.
Xu Xi wanted to speak, but she was nervous. She pondered for more than ten seconds. She then silently repeated "The brave man gets a wife first" three times to encourage herself. Then she whispered it out.
Xu Xi: "Ningning."
Chen Shuning looked at her. "Yeah."
"My parents asked me to take you home for dinner when I have time. Do you want to have dinner with me next time?" When Xu Xi said this, she already had the answer in her heart. She would probably agree, but she was nervous. She stuttered a little when she spoke, and her palms were covered with sweat.
Chen Shuning froze, her grip on the fish fillet frozen, and the piece of fish she was holding fell to the ground. These words were undoubtedly a different kind of confession, and the excitement in her heart was beyond words. A mist clouded her eyes. She had been chasing him for so long, and this feeling of perseverance and not being let down was something only those who had pursued him could understand.
Chen Shuning smiled happily, feeling a warm feeling in his heart. "Okay. As long as uncle and aunt don't mind, I'm available anytime."
Xu Xi blinked nervously and handed a piece of the durian lasagna to Chen Shuning. The excitement and surprise in her heart made her try to be calm and composed when she spoke.
"Well, let's go look at houses tomorrow weekend and then go back for dinner."
"Um."
After they had almost finished eating and the red wine had cooled, Chen Shuning poured two glasses and handed one to Xu Xi. Then, Chen Shuning sat next to Xu Xi, sitting side by side with their arms and shoulders touching.
She took a sip of red wine and then looked at Xu Xi. "Xixi, let me tell you about myself."
Xu Xi turned to look at her, "Okay."
Of course she is willing to know everything about the person she likes.
"Actually, I'm the daughter of the Chen Group. It's the Chen Group that's well-known outside." Chen Shuning said, taking another sip of red wine. Her lips stained by alcohol looked particularly seductive.
"I have an older sister and an older brother. Since we were little, our family has always been very strict with us. The three of us went to aristocratic schools. My older siblings attended aristocratic schools from kindergarten all the way to high school, and then went on to study abroad. Only I was luckier than them. I escaped their control when I was in elementary school. Because I scored zero in every subject and I messed up all my extracurricular projects, the aristocratic school couldn't let a bad student like me ruin other students. So, I was expelled from the aristocratic school. Later, I had the opportunity to go to ordinary junior high and high school, and had the chance to meet you. After my college entrance examination, they started arranging some social activities for me, letting me meet the sons of some corporate tycoons, intending to choose a future son-in-law from among them who would be beneficial to their development. I told them that I liked girls, and then I was kicked out. Occasionally, I go back and get scolded, but I'm actually used to it. When I went back today, I didn't expect it to be like that."
Chen Group? ... Although Xu Xi had always been immersed in her studies and work, she still had some memories of this group. It seemed that there had been a major incident involving the Chen Group before her rebirth. She remembered that it seemed that a few days before her sudden death from overwork, major news media outlets had been reporting on the Chen Group:
The second daughter of the Chen Group jumped from the high-rise building of her own company and died on the spot.
