Lu Shengyao tilted his head to look at him with a gentle smile. "Yes, why?""Isn't this the meet-the-parents session, my dear cousin?" Shen Mofei mocked him."I can't help it." Lu Shengyao shrugged his shoulders. "I have to complete the show.""To be honest, why did you even agree to her request?" Shen Mofei stood up and walked over, sitting opposite him and looking at him with confusion.In his eyes, his cousin and Xiaoxiao were extremely incompatible. One of them was indifferent while the other had a fiery temper. If they were to be together, their future days as a couple would indeed be extremely interesting."I have a tender heart." Lu Shengyao gave a simple response."Tender heart?" Shen Mofei shook his head and replied, "Cousin, in my eyes, it isn't really because of a tender heart, but really, because of lust."As he spoke, he raised his brows at Lu Shengyao mischievously."Damn it." Lu Shengyao kicked him in the calf.Shen Mofei smiled even happier. "Cousin, you are gu
"I'll go home now. Remember to come to the event."Before he got off work, Lu Shengyao received a text message from Ying Xiaoxiao.After staring at the words on the screen for a long time, Lu Shengyao turned around and shut down his computer. Getting up, he put on the vest on the back of his armchair and walked out after grabbing the car keys on the table.He had been to the Ying family home a couple of times. However, each time, he had parked his car outside. This was the first time that he had driven the car into the Ying family's garden.Ying Xiaoxiao, who stood outside the door waiting for him to park, ran over and stopped in front of him. As she straightened his tie for him, she whispered to him, "We must act more intimate later on. Don't mess up."She was so close to him that he could smell the light fragrance on her body.Lowering his gaze, he could see her trembling eyes, as well as her cherry mouth as she opened it to speak.However, unknowingly, he felt heated. Subcons
"As if he's telling the truth."Ying Xiaoxiao could not help sniggering. "Don't worry, my father won't dislike you. Let's hurry in. It's not good to keep my parents waiting."Following that, she held his arms to help him in."Wait." Lu Shengyao pulled her away."Why?" Ying Xiaoxiao turned around.He smiled gently and removed her hand on his arm.Ying Xiaoxiao frowned as she thought that he didn't like her holding his arm.He held her hand and smiled. "Now we look like a couple."The warmth in his palm seemed to fill up her heart to the brim. She smiled brilliantly, unable to control herself.She blinked her slightly-teary eyes and smiled. "Let's go in."The two held hands and entered the manor...."What did you say?" Song Anyi placed her cup on the table and sat hastily on the sofa, staring in astonishment at Tang Ruochu, who was opposite her.Tang Ruochu held up her cup and sipped on the water before replying casually, "Xiaoxiao brought Shengyao back to the Ying manor."
Silence descended in the large living room.Shen Mofei sat next to Song Anyi. The two stared at each other and smiled.Following that, Shen Mofei looked at Tang Ruochu and replied, "Sister-in-law, your worry is legitimate. However, I won't break up with Anyi.""Won't break up?"Tang Ruochu frowned slightly. Actually, there were still some pending matters between them that made their relationship more complicated than a promise to not break up.However, when she saw the determined gaze of Mofei, she swallowed her words of suspicion before glancing at them angrily. "All right, I know that you love each other."Song Anyi smiled shyly before complaining helplessly, "Aren't we talking about Xiaoxiao and Shengyao? Why is this suddenly about me?"Tang Ruochu couldn't help sniggering. "Right, why is it suddenly about you guys?"Afterward, she raised her brows at Shen Mofei. "Mofei, you have to take the blame for this. If not for your sudden appearance, I wouldn't have changed the topic
Lu Shengyao didn't reply to her. He immediately picked up the prawn that Mrs. Ying had put into his bowl and removed the shell before putting it in Ying Xiaoxiao's bowl. He then stared gently into her eyes as he said, "I'll remove the shells for you if you want to eat them."Even though she knew that he was merely acting, she fell in love with his gentle demeanor.This time, she decided to enjoy his gentle concern for her.Lowering her eyes to hide her emotions, she picked up the prawn and put it in her mouth, savoring its taste.Lu Shengyao stared at her with a pair of eyes as gentle as water.In the eyes of others, they were definitely deeply in love.Mrs. Ying used her elbow to nudge Mr. Ying beside her. The latter glared at her but she signaled for him to look at Xiaoxiao.Hence, he turned his head to look at Xiaoxiao and saw the expression of Lu Shengyao while he was looking at her.Mrs. Ying's voice rang beside his ears. "Look at how Shengyao looks at our daughter. He tru
At such a young age, he had to either be very capable or have strong background if he was the General Manager of Times Entertainment News.Mr. Ying examined him thoughtfully before shifting his gaze back to Ying Xiaoxiao, asking with a solemn expression, "Xiaoxiao, are you certain that he is the one?""I'm sure." Ying Xiaoxiao nodded heavily.Mr. Ying stared at her deeply. "I can allow the two of you to date, however..." he paused, "I have to monitor it and see if he truly loves you, or if he is merely someone that you brought back here to fool me."Ying Xiaoxiao and Lu Shengyao glanced at each other. Even though they were guilty, she still spoke with feigned confidence. "Dad, you can observe all you want. We can handle your observation."Mr. Ying looked at them before replying casually, "Let's eat. The dishes are getting cold."Such a sentence made Ying Xiaoxiao heave a long sigh of relief.Hence, Lu Shengyao's first meet-the-parents session concluded well....The night was
Tang Ruochu heard the mockery in his tone and therefore defended her best friend. "Xiaoxiao wasn't the one who acted fast. Uncle Ying wanted to see Shengyao, so..." She shrugged her shoulders. "You understand."Lu Shijin shook his head and laughed. "Shengyao hates interacting with seniors. He escaped from the dragon's pit just to enter the tiger's lair."Tang Ruochu was speechless."Is he implying that the Lu family is the dragon's pit and the Ying family is tiger's lair?"Lu Shijin looked ahead at the road in front as he smiled meaningfully. "I believe that it's not so easy for Shengyao to leave this time."In the Lu family, his big brother could prevent him from the oppression of the old man.But in the Ying family, Mr. Ying was not someone who could be easily fooled. Shengyao and Xiaoxiao's performance might not be so easy.Tang Ruochu raised her brows. She understood what he meant but... this could foster an ideal relationship....After eating, Lu Shengyao accompanied Mr.
Ying Xiaoxiao entered the study with a plate of fruit. When she saw that her father was still playing chess with Lu Shengyao, she put the plate of fruit on the study desk before walking to Lu Shengyao's side.Lu Shengyao turned to look at her. He smiled gently before moving his gaze back to the chessboard.Mr. Ying glanced at his daughter and asked casually, "Why are you not accompanying your mother?""She wanted to watch her drama and asked me to not bother her." Ying Xiaoxiao found it amusing that her mother had chased her upstairs, for she knew that her mother was worried that they wouldn't get along.However, it seemed like her mother was overthinking it.They were at peace during their game of chess, at least in her eyes.It was a difficult match, as the two fought each other head-on. The match only ended an hour later.This time, Mr. Ying lost.By three moves."Good game, Uncle." Lu Shengyao looked at Mr. Ying with humility. His eyes were gentle as he smiled politely.M
