"Mom, I don't mean anything to Wu Ruian!" She immediately clarified.
Yan's mother looked at her intently, sighed deeply, turned around and left without saying a word.
"mom……"
Her objection was obviously useless. The day after Yan's father was discharged from the hospital, he personally called Wu Ruian and invited Wu Ruian to his home for dinner.
When Yan Yan found out about this, she was removing her makeup in the dressing room.
Yan's mother called and asked if she would come back tonight.
"Go back." She finished work early today and of course she had to go back to spend time with her father.
"When you go upstairs, go to the supermarket downstairs and buy two bottles of Laobaigan." Yan's mother ordered.
"Dad, can you drink now?"
"I use it to stew meat."
After hanging up the phone, the more Yan Yan thought about it, the more something was wrong. When had her mother ever bothered her for something as trivial as stewed meat?
After leaving the room, she came to the door of Wu Ruian's room and wanted to ask clearly...
Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and Wu Ruian opened the door to go out.
"Yanyan!" When he saw her, surprise appeared in his eyes.
Yan Yan sighed in her heart, she shouldn't have come... Now that she's here, she can just say what she needs to say.
"Tonight... I want to treat you to dinner. I know a restaurant that does very good Suzhou and Hangzhou cuisine." She said.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Wu Ruian's eyes.
This confirmed Yan Yan's guess that his parents indeed invited him to their house for dinner tonight.
Yan Yan pretended not to know and continued: "It's rare for me to finish work early today. I don't know when the next time will be."
Wu Ruian made up his mind: "Okay, let's go."
Then he became happy again.
For a moment, Yan Yan was really curious about how he would tell her parents about this.
The two of them got out of the elevator and walked forward, when suddenly a large number of reporters came over.
Wu Ruian, with quick eyesight and quick hands, pulled Yan Yan into his arms and protected her with his body.
As the reporters passed by wiping his clothes, voices kept shouting the name "Hua Zixin". It turned out that the person they welcomed in was Hua Zixin.
Yan Yan couldn't hear too much information. The heat in Wu Ruian's arms enveloped her, and she smelled a calm fragrance similar to sandalwood.
The scent is very different from the perfume used by Cheng Yiming.
Why did she only think of Cheng Yiming? Cheng Yiming was not the only man she had ever been in... It should be said that the perfume Wu Ruian used was very special.
Finally, the noise passed.
"Are you okay?" Wu Ruian let go of her.
She shook her head gently, "Thank you."
Wu Ruian lightly raised his lips and said, "Let's go."
Yan Yan took him to the Southern Restaurant and discovered that this restaurant did not have private rooms.
But the restaurant is very spacious, and the lighting layout is also very unique. Not only are the tables far apart, but also each table forms its own dining area under the lighting.
When ordering, Yan Yan gave the menu to Wu Ruian... She had only found this restaurant online an hour ago. Whether it was good or not, she chose it based on the online ratings.
However, Wu Ruian ordered several dishes, which were all her favorites.
Especially duck tongue, she rarely told anyone about it.
"Auntie told me," Wu Ruian said with a smile, "She said you like to eat duck tongue the most, but you never say it when eating out, because there is only one duck tongue in a plate of duck, and you don't want to be the one who is favored.
.”
Yan Yan shook her head: "I just don't want to be treated specially and owe others favors."
Although not every restaurant has duck tongue as a dish, she will buy the raw materials and cook them in a big pot herself.
"I don't think many people know that the real you is not as aggressive as your appearance."
Yan Yan raised her eyebrows: "My appearance is very aggressive?"
"Of course." He smiled.
Yan Yan suddenly realized that he was praising her beauty in a roundabout way.
She couldn't help but smile.
"Here you two, please." The waiter's voice sounded not far away.
Yan Yan looked up inadvertently and was stunned. The waiter brought over two guests, her parents...
She instantly understood what Wu Ruian had explained to her parents...inviting them both here to have dinner together.
What she originally wanted to escape...Wu Rui'an eating with her parents was realized here.
Why is she going to all this trouble!
"Rian Ruian, you are too polite," Yan's mother smiled and sat down, "Xiaoyan invited you to dinner, why did you drag us here to be light bulbs?"
"Uncle and aunt, I have long wanted to treat you two to dinner. It is my honor for you to come today." Wu Ruian also said with a smile.
Yan Yan was convinced by them. They had obviously made an appointment to have dinner together, but she saw through it, and they could still do it so naturally without showing any trace.
They are more suitable actors than she is.
"Same goes for you, Xiaoyan," Yan's mother turned around and scolded Yan Yan, "I didn't ask you to invite Ruian to dinner earlier. If you don't have time, I can help you choose a better restaurant."
"This restaurant is very good," Wu Ruian continued, "It's all my favorite southern cuisine."
Yan Yan didn't say anything. She felt that Wu Ruian and her mother were singing along.
Fortunately, the food has already started to be served, so everyone should disperse as soon as you finish eating.
"What a coincidence." Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded.
Yan Yan raised her head in surprise and saw Yu Sirui and Cheng Yiming passing by.
This... is quite a coincidence.
But she didn't expect Yu Sirui to say hello to them.
Given their relationship, they should be treated as if they didn't know each other when they met.
"What a coincidence." Wu Ruian responded.
"Boss Wu, are you meeting your future father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Yu Sirui continued to ask.
Didn't she just want to know the relationship between Yan Yan and Wu Ruian?
Wu Ruian smiled faintly and took a deep look at Yan Yan, "Yanyan agrees, that's it."
Yan Yan hesitated for a moment.
Yan's mother had already answered, "Ruian is so nice, of course our Xiaoyan agreed."
As she said that, she turned to look at Yu Sirui and Cheng Yiming with a smile, "It is fate that you have met a big happy event in our family. Why don't you sit down and have a meal together to celebrate it for us."
Yan Yan:……
She never expected that her mother's mind could be so open.
But in this situation, she couldn't say anything more.
"Okay," Yu Sirui pulled Cheng Yiming down politely, "We must eat this century-old meal."
The dining table is round, and after they sat down, Cheng Yiming happened to be opposite Yan Yan.
While he was talking, the waiter had already placed the dishes.
"Duck tongue?!" Dad Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Before he finished speaking, two pairs of chopsticks reached into the plate of duck tongue at the same time...it was Wu Ruian and Cheng Yiming.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly felt awkward.
Needless to say, Wu Ruian must have given the duck tongue to Yan Yan, but what about Cheng Yiming?
"Does Miss Yan also like to eat duck tongue?" Yu Sirui asked at this time.
"You like it too?" Yan Yan asked.
The two men retracted their chopsticks and each put the duck tongue into different women's bowls.
"Yes, I have liked it since I was a child," Yu Sirui replied. "When I first met Yi Ming, I was still young. There was a barbecue party at home, and he grilled a whole plate of duck tongue for me."
Yan Yan didn't know how to answer the call. There was only one thing in her mind. Cheng Yiming didn't know she liked to eat this.
Thinking about how long they have been together, some things have nothing to do with time.
"It turns out that duck tongue can also be grilled and eaten. I'll try it next time." Wu Ruian smiled at Yan Yan, his eyes filled with so much love that he couldn't contain it.
"When will Boss Wu and Miss Yan plan to get married?" Yu Sirui asked.
"I will definitely send you an invitation when I get married." Wu Ruian replied.
"When do you plan to get married?" Yan's mother asked Yu Sirui unceremoniously.
"Soon." Yu Sirui replied.
Yan's mother smiled and said, "I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine." Even so, she didn't hide the sarcasm in her eyes at all.
As if cursing them, there will never be a wedding day.
Yu Sirui nodded with a smile, but his eyes had completely turned cold...
"Hey!" Dad Yan suddenly whispered and covered his knees.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Yan Yan immediately raised her head.
"The injury from the fall hurts again," Yan's father shook his head, "You guys can eat, I want to go back and rest."
Hearing this, Wu Ruian stood up first.
That’s pretty much it for this meal.
Wu Ruian and Yan Yan helped Yan's father to the door of the hotel, and the car also arrived.
When Yan's father got in the car, Wu Ruian was about to follow him, but was pulled out by Yan's mother.
"Xiaoyan likes to go to the night market, you go with her." Yan's mother gave the instructions.
"Uncle, he..."
"He's just pretending. Does he really want to have dinner with Cheng Yiming and the others?"
Yan's mother just wanted Cheng Yiming to know that Yan Yan would not be wanted without him!
Yan Yan:……
Watching the car go away, Yan Yan felt that the whole world had become quiet.
"So you like to go to the night market." Wu Ruian smiled at her.
She forced a smile: "It's a very stingy hobby."
"It's a very economical hobby," Wu Ruian stopped a taxi, "Don't worry, I won't let fans recognize you."
Yan Yan and Wu Ruian got in the car.
Because before Yan's mother left, she took her aside and told her, "Xiaoyan, if you don't want your parents to worry, you should try to get along with Ruian."
She could only bow her head and acquiesce.
Otherwise, her parents will be worried and think that she still cannot forget Cheng Yiming.
This is the busiest time of the night market, with a dazzling array of small commodities shining under the lights, and the air filled with the aroma of various foods~
The main road was crowded with people, but the sidewalk next to it was still quiet. Yan Yan and Wu Ruian walked slowly.
"...My mother likes to design jewelry," he told interesting stories about their family. "My uncle has a jewelry factory. My mother often fills his factory with drawings. My uncle complains constantly, saying that her designs are too complicated and not practical at all.
It was suitable. Later, my dad found out about it and invested in a new production line in my uncle's factory..."
"The jewelry designed by Auntie must be a big seller." Yan Yan politely chatted.
Wu Ruian smiled: "Uncle's vision is accurate. The jewelry designed by my mother is indeed too complicated. The production line has been losing money for eleven years now..."
Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. The production line that had been losing money for eleven years could still continue...Wu Ruian's view of relationships turned out to be learned from his father.
"It smells so good." Yan Yan suddenly smelled the aroma of braised pork.
"There must be braised duck tongue!" Wu Ruian asserted, "Just wait, I'll buy it."
Seeing Wu Ruian walking to the left, Yan Yan opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She smelled that the braised pork stall should be to the right... let him look for it, she also wanted to get some air.
