"Grandpa and Grandma! Dad and Mom!"
Li Mufei let go of Ning Jiu'an's hand and ran quickly towards the hall.
Ning Jiu'an only felt that the hand that was being held suddenly went empty, and felt a little uncomfortable because it was too sudden.
"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Ning Jiu'an!"
Introducing Ning Jiu'an to her family was her primary task upon returning home, and she certainly wouldn't forget that!
The four men took turns scrutinizing Ning Jiu'an, their intense gazes making her extremely uncomfortable.
"Jiu'an, come over and say hello to my parents and grandparents!"
Li Mufei realized that she had run too fast and left Ning Jiu'an behind, so she quickly ran over and pulled Ning Jiu'an in front of them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, I am Ning Jiu'an. It's my first visit, and I brought a small gift. Please accept it."
Ning Jiu'an was gentle and refined, and very politely placed the gift he was carrying on the guest table.
"Hehe, Jiu'an, please sit down. Make yourself at home and don't be shy."
Si Yaqin spoke first. Seeing how polite Ning Jiu'an was, she immediately had a good impression of him.
Ning Jiu'an sat down in the same spot as Li Mufei.
Next, Ning Jiu'an was subjected to a series of "greetings." Following Li Yaosen's arrangement, Ning Jiu'an moved into the Li family home.
Li Shaochuan, who was outside, did not intend to come in. He handed his luggage to the butler and then went out.
Li Shaochuan sat on the beach, smoking a cigarette in frustration, the sea breeze blowing. No one knew what was bothering him.
An Xinyue landed safely and left, arriving at the Sun Moon Star Hotel, which was closest to Moli Restaurant, the largest and most luxurious restaurant in B City.
She doesn't like going out much and prefers staying at home, so tomorrow she can just get ready and head to Moli Restaurant to wait for customers.
She happened to have booked a first-floor ocean view room, the kind where you can swim in the sea, and the room also has a swimming pool connected to the sea.
She doesn't need to run around, which is very convenient for her.
But... tonight she feels so lonely, so hard to bear. She doesn't know what tomorrow holds...
In order to get a good night's sleep, she changed into her swimsuit and swam in the pool of the ocean-view room for a long time until she was too tired to continue before returning to her room to take a shower.
She was too lazy to go out, so after taking a shower, she ordered takeout. After eating and drinking her fill, she lay in bed watching TV. Whether it was because she was too tired or because the TV was so soothing, she fell into a deep sleep.
Li Family Villa
At the dinner table
"Shaochuan, you better be on time at Moli Restaurant tomorrow! Don't keep the girl waiting for you. Also, dress appropriately and look handsome! Don't let her reject you."
Lai Yiu-sum was anxious. He was so envious of his friends who were already holding their great-grandchildren. He could only watch longingly as they showed off their little great-grandchildren.
Li Shaochuan: "..."
"Grandpa, did I say I wanted to succeed in the blind date? You know I went because of you, not because of my own wishes. I'm just going through the motions."
He should also make it clear when refusing someone, though he didn't say it aloud, otherwise he would have gotten a lecture!
He felt that he was already showing enough respect by going, and to ask him to dress up was going too far. It's not like he's going to see his loved one, why should he dress up?
He's already being quite lenient by not looking sloppy and scaring people away!
"Shaochuan, the Lu family's daughter has a very good reputation. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very talented. Her family is a scholarly family, just like ours. Girls from such families are bound to be good."
Zhang Yiting also carefully persuaded him, saying that Li Yaosen's words were not entirely unreasonable and that he should dress up nicely and take this blind date more seriously.
"Yes, yes! Grandma met her once before and liked this child very much. She's well-mannered and truly a lady from a good family! She's a perfect match for our family!"
Si Yaqin had no idea that what she saw was all just for show by Lu Xinyi.
"Shaochuan, I won't say anything more. Just do what you think is best and don't be impolite."
Li Shangjue knew that Li Shaochuan was very resistant, so he didn't say anything. He felt that liking something was the most important thing, and the rest didn't matter!
Li Shaochuan felt a terrible headache coming on; each person's words were making his head buzz.
Li Mufei watched the show without offering any opinion. She dared not add fuel to the fire at this point, or Li Shaochuan would definitely strangle her!
Ning Jiu'an couldn't offer any opinions, as he wasn't considered a member of the Li family yet and couldn't interfere in family matters.
"I'm full. You guys take your time eating and chatting."
Li Shaochuan had no choice but to make an excuse to leave.
He had calmed down a bit after smoking a few cigarettes by the sea, but now they had stirred things up even more.
What bothers him most isn't going on blind dates, it's not knowing how to pursue someone!
After their commotion, he now desperately wants to appear in front of An Xinyue and confess his feelings!
the next day
An Xinyue was woken up by her alarm clock. The blind date between Li Shaochuan and Lu Xinyi was scheduled for 10 a.m.
It's nine o'clock now. An Xinyue turned off her alarm and got up to wash up. She didn't want to put on makeup or groom herself.
Then she thought about how embarrassing it would be if she were recognized. She had never looked so disheveled in front of Li Shaochuan before.
An Xinyue changed into a light blue floral print long dress. She planned to take a walk on the beach afterwards. The dress was halter-neck and made of light gauze fabric. She wore a white long-sleeved sun protection shirt over it, also made of light gauze fabric.
She then put on off-white beach sandals.
After skincare, she applied sunscreen to her face and sprayed sunscreen on her exposed fair skin.
She simply applied a lazy-person's BB cream to her face at home. She doesn't like wearing foundation. Her eyebrows are naturally thick, and once they are shaped and the length is right, she doesn't need to draw them at all.
Her eyelashes are naturally curled, and to enhance her complexion, she applied a warm pinkish-beige lipstick, looking both innocent and alluring.
Then take out the hair oil and gently apply it to the ends of your curly hair. It will give off a light fragrance and make your hair shinier.
She then took out the fruit-scented balm that Yan Xiluo had given her before and applied it behind her ears.
She wasn't planning on having breakfast, and there wasn't time for it anyway. She casually put on some sunglasses, grabbed her bag, and headed off to stake out the Moli restaurant.
Upon arriving at Moli restaurant, An Xinyue found a secluded spot to sit down and ordered a coffee.
At this moment, Li Shaochuan had just left home and was still on his way.
Lu Xinyi arrived at the restaurant shortly after An Xinyue entered, and she chose a seat by the window.
This position was perfect for An Xinyue to observe their every move, but it was difficult for them to see An Xinyue from their side, so An Xinyue simply stayed put.
As for how she recognized Lu Xinyi, it was after she woke up that she saw the messages Li Mufei had sent her. There were more than a dozen unread messages, all of which were sent to her after she fell asleep last night.
