At six o'clock in the afternoon, Di Chenxiao escorted Shi Xi back to the Shi family home.
"Xixi, we're home." He had to say goodbye to Xixi again.
Seeing Di Chenxiao's deep reluctance to part, Shi Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "Master Chen, I've already spoken with my parents. You're coming to my house for dinner tonight. I wonder if Master Chen... would do me the honor?"
Di Chenxiao was overjoyed. "They agreed to let me have dinner at your house?"
"I agree! After all, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws."
Emperor. Ugly Daughter-in-Law. Chen Xiao: "...But I, the ugly daughter-in-law, didn't bring a gift."
"No need to bring gifts. My family has everything we need. Besides, it's just a meal. Don't be too nervous."
This wasn't the first time Xiao Xiao had come to her house.
Di Chenxiao, who was never nervous when attending any event, became nervous at this moment.
Shi Xi and Di Chenxiao got out of the car. Shi Xi said to Di Jiu, "Di Jiu, why don't you come and have dinner with us too!"
With Di Chenxiao's permission, Di Jiu followed Shi Xi into the Shi family.
Shi Hao had already prepared a table full of dishes, just waiting for Shi Xi to come back so the family could eat together.
Father Shi smiled kindly, "Xiao Chen, you're here. I heard from Xiao Xi that you were coming, so I specially prepared some wine. How about we have a few drinks?"
Di Chenxiao's voice was not as cold as usual, "I shall obey your command."
Shi's mother, holding Shi Xi's arm, looked at Shi's father with disdain, "You're practically halfway to your grave, and you're still drinking with these young people? Aren't you afraid they'll laugh at you!"
Shi's father: "Mo Mo, when I was young, I was also the most handsome guy on campus. Even the young male celebrities in the entertainment industry couldn't compare to me."
"A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories; only old and feeble people like to bring up how they were back then."
Father Shi: "..."
Shi Xi shook her head helplessly, holding her mother's arm with one hand and her father's arm with the other. "Mom, Dad must have been very handsome when he was young, and you were very beautiful too, otherwise how could you have given birth to three such perfect children like us! Of course, you are still radiant now."
Shi's mother said, "Xiao Xi is much better at talking than those two brats who always make me angry."
Shi Hao: "..."
Shi Han: "...Mom and Dad, when have I ever made you angry? I helped my older brother cook, and I was busy all day, but I didn't hear a single good word from you. As soon as my younger sister came back, you all fawned over her. Humph—I'm angry!"
Shi Xi quickly comforted her second brother, "Second brother, don't be angry! Your little sister feels sorry for you."
"My sister is the best!"
Looking at this family with their childish mentality, Shi Hao felt a headache coming on. It seemed like he was the only one in the family who had grown up.
"Stop talking, come and eat. Mr. Chen, come and help serve the dishes."
Di Chenxiao: "We're here."
After all the dishes were served, Shi's parents sat in the main seats, Shi Hao and Shi Han sat to their lower right, Shi Xi and Di Chenxiao sat to their lower left, and Di Jiu and Shisan sat opposite Shi's parents.
Shi Xi picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Di Chenxiao, "Xiao Xiao, the fish that Big Brother made is delicious, you should try it."
Di Chenxiao took a bite and commented, "It's delicious."
It tastes better than the food he's eaten at five-star hotels.
But compared to the dishes he makes, it's still a bit lacking.
Shi Han felt the food in his bowl no longer tasted good. "Little sister, you've forgotten your brother now that you have a boyfriend? Why didn't you think to put some food on my plate?"
Shi's mother reached out and put a piece of chili on Shi Han's plate: "You can't even shut yourself up while eating. Don't you have hands? You need your sister to pick food for you. You think you're so capable!"
