It was too late when Huo Jinning returned to her room, so it wasn't until the next morning that she arranged a time and place to meet with Yue Yitang.
Subsequently, Huo Jinning handed over Yue Yitang's contact information to Huo Nanchu, along with specific time and location information.
She didn't want to be that annoying third wheel!
However, deep down, I was filled with curiosity and wanted to know what would happen.
However, it would be a bit awkward to go to the restaurant alone, so he invited his mother to come along.
Why did you suddenly decide to eat out today?
"Mom, you absolutely have to come with me! Maybe you'll even meet your future daughter-in-law then." Huo Jinning deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
"Daughter-in-law? Could it be the girlfriend our eldest son found?"
Huo Jinning smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to change my clothes. I can't let the boss down." Zhao Qiuying muttered to herself as she turned and went upstairs.
"Mom, it really doesn't have to be this complicated." Huo Jinning looked at her mother's back and shook her head helplessly, muttering to herself, "Anyway, the two of them are just planning to observe secretly."
After a while, Zhao Qiuying came downstairs, wearing a beautiful blue dress. She adjusted the hem of her dress a few times and then asked her daughter, "Ningning, what do you think of Mommy wearing this?"
"Wow, Mom, you're so beautiful! You're absolutely gorgeous!"
"Haha, you're so sweet-talking. Let's hurry up and get going, lest we be late." Zhao Qiuying nodded in satisfaction and hurriedly headed for the door.
"Mom, wait, um... let me explain first." Huo Jinning quickly grabbed her mother and explained anxiously, "We have to go there secretly this time, so that my older brother and Sister Yue can't find out."
"Oh, I see. I understand. You're worried that their presence will make things awkward for them, right?"
"No, it's not that simple. After all, their relationship isn't clear yet. Let's not get involved. If we mess things up, your future daughter-in-law will be gone. It won't be easy to find a daughter-in-law as good as Sister Yue again."
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Zhao Qiuying nodded in agreement.
After Zhao Qiuying got into the car, she was surprised to find that the driver was Huo Shan, and asked curiously, "Honey, why are you driving?"
Huo Shan smiled and replied, "Anyway, I'm free right now, so I might as well send you and your daughter over."
[Is Dad here to see his future daughter-in-law too?]
[Looks like Dad enjoys joining in the fun and is interested in these kinds of gossips.]
[Hehe, everyone seems to enjoy joining in the fun.]
Feeling embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through, Huo Shan coughed to cover up his awkwardness.
So the family of three secretly went to the restaurant.
Huo Jinning knew exactly where Yue Yitang had reserved the table in advance, so she went straight to the second floor without hesitation to the spot where she could have a clear view of them.
Not long after, Huo Nanchu and Yue Yitang entered the restaurant.
"Ningning, this must be my future daughter-in-law! She looks familiar, isn't she Yue Peng's daughter? Ningning, is she?" Zhao Qiuying asked with great joy.
"Yes, she is Yue Peng's daughter. Mom, you know Sister Yue?" Huo Jinning replied with a hint of surprise.
"How could I not recognize her? I've seen her many times when she was little."
"Back then, your older brother was still very young, and he confidently declared that he would marry her someday. Unfortunately, he was only five years old then, and as the years passed, he forgot all about it."
"We adults just laughed it off, taking it as a joke," Zhao Qiuying recalled with a smile.
"Is that so?"
"Absolutely, that's fate."
"Mom, look how gently my older brother is smiling. Is he treating Sister Yue differently?"
"Yes, it does seem a bit suspicious."
In fact, when Huo Nanchu stepped into the restaurant, he saw his parents and younger sister secretly watching them from upstairs.
However, he did not greet them, fearing that they might say something shocking that would frighten Yue Yitang.
Huo Nanchu walked to the seat, gently pulled out a chair, and gestured for Yue Yitang to sit down: "Miss Yue, please sit down."
Yue Yitang smiled and nodded to express her gratitude before sitting down gracefully.
At this moment, Huo Nanchu also sat down, but the atmosphere between the two seemed somewhat subtle and reserved.
After a moment of silence, Yue Yitang suddenly broke the silence by asking, "By the way, where's Ningning? Why didn't I see her come along?"
Her tone revealed a hint of doubt and concern.
"She has some things to take care of, so she probably can't come today."
His voice was calm and low, as if he was trying to conceal some emotion within him.
After hearing this, Yue Yitang nodded in understanding and said, "Oh, okay then."
She then handed the menu to Huo Nanchu and said gently, "Brother Huo, please take a look and see if there's anything you like to eat. Feel free to order."
Her eyes were filled with sincerity and kindness, which warmed people's hearts.
"Okay, sure," Huo Nanchu replied softly.
After carefully selecting two dishes from the menu, he gently pushed it in front of Yue Yitang.
"I'm almost done here, you can take a look and see if there's anything you like." His voice was deep and gentle, with an irresistible charm.
Yue Yitang nodded slightly in agreement.
