If he hadn't met Ye Zhizhou, would he have continued to sink into despair, getting terrible grades in that ordinary school, never to regain his former glory?
"Qin Xuan, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't speak, Ye Zhizhou moved closer, stood on tiptoe, and waved his hand in front of Qin Xuan's eyes.
Qin Xuan grabbed her hand, his gaze falling on her cherry-red lips, and he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss them.
Just as their lips were about to touch, there was a sudden noise in the living room.
Huo Qingyan, supporting Old Master Huo, stared at the two of them in disbelief.
"Qingyan, I'm getting old and can't see clearly anymore. Please help me to the dining room."
Before Huo Qingyan could react, the old man already understood what had happened and cursed himself for his bad timing.
"Hey, Dad, be careful."
Huo Qingyan hurriedly helped the old man towards the dining room, pretending not to see Qin Xuan and Ye Zhizhou standing in the living room.
Ye Zhizhou blushed involuntarily. It was so embarrassing! Luckily, they didn't kiss!
Would you consider this as being caught red-handed?
Qin Xuan naturally took her hand and led her to the dining table.
"Grandpa, Mom, was there anyone else at the door when you arrived?"
Ye Zhizhou greeted the two elders and sat obediently to the side, waiting for the meal to be served.
Qin Xuan sat down and asked Old Master Huo, who snorted, "Your aunt, who else could it be? I told her to go back and not to bother you unless it's important."
Grandpa Huo rarely came to Ning City. He worked hard in Hai City when he was young, then moved to Tianjin, and later went abroad to recuperate.
Especially after his daughter Huo Qingyan got married, he focused on health preservation. In recent years, he has been envious of his peers who have great-grandchildren. Therefore, he was very unhappy about Huo Qingjuan disturbing Qin Xuan and Ye Zhizhou's relationship.
Huo Qingyan held Ye Zhizhou's hand, liking him more and more as she looked at him.
"Xiao Zhou, did you make all these dishes?"
Ye Zhizhou nodded, "Yes, I remember Auntie said last time that she liked Mapo Tofu. Auntie, please try some."
Huo Qingyan picked up her chopsticks and tasted it, praising it repeatedly.
"Dad, please try Xiaozhou's cooking. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the engagement between Axuan and Xiaozhou, I would want to recognize Xiaozhou as my goddaughter."
Qin Xuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Was he even his biological son?
"A daughter-in-law is also a daughter, is that not allowed?"
He glared at her, and Huo Qingyan understood, quickly changing the subject, "Yes, yes, you're right!"
Qin Xuan was satisfied and took the initiative to serve food to Ye Zhizhou. Ye Zhizhou felt that the atmosphere was good, and Old Master Huo was just as kind as in the video.
"This dish is really well made, Xiao Zhou. Qin Xuan is so lucky to have married you. I will hand over the Huo Group to Qin Xuan to manage in the future, so you don't have to worry about him not being able to support you. This guy is much better at making money than me."
Grandpa Huo ate several dishes in a row, and felt he couldn't get enough of each one.
Ye Zhizhou nodded obediently, finding Grandpa Huo quite adorable.
"You're getting old, so you should rest well." Qin Xuan decisively confiscated Old Master Huo's wine glass, not giving him a chance.
Grandpa Huo glanced helplessly at his grandson, "Qingyan, how did you end up giving birth to such a troublemaker?"
Ye Zhizhou suppressed a laugh. So this is how humble Old Master Huo is in front of Qin Xuan? Is this what they call grandparents' affection for their grandchildren?
"You can drink this." Qin Xuan handed over a glass of plain water.
Old Master Huo: ...
