"..." Xie Qingran was speechless. Looking at Ji Chen's expectant and innocent expression, she pinched Ji Chen's face and said, "What a beautiful idea."
Xie Qingran let go of his hand and walked slowly towards the restaurant.
"Ran Ran is awake." Mother Xie said gently when she saw her coming, "Wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon."
Then, when she saw Ji Chen, she smiled as gently as when she faced Xie Qingran, "Ji Chen, did you sleep well tonight?"
Ji Chen glanced at Xie Qingran.
Mother Xie was a little confused, "Are you not used to it?"
Ji Chen shook his head, "No."
He smiled gently and said, "I slept well."
Xie's mother didn't know whether she loved him or felt pity for his situation. She had been very kind to him ever since she put down her mind and agreed that he and Xie Qingran would be together.
Hearing this, she felt relieved and looked at Xie Qingran again, "Of course, I remember that you seemed to have gone out last night. When did you come back?"
Xie Qingran touched the tip of her nose and said, "It's past three in the morning."
Mother Xie frowned lightly, "Don't stay up late all the time, it's not good for your health."
She glanced at Ji Chen again, "Has Ji Chen been waiting for Ran Ran to come back?"
Ji Chen pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.
Xie Qingran turned her head to look at him and thought, just pretend!
How could Xie Qingran be so smart and not know about Ji Chen's tea art?
"Mom, I didn't let him wait for me." Xie Qingran defended herself.
Mother Xie didn't agree with her words, "Then Ji Chen is also worried about you. If he wasn't worried about you, he wouldn't have been waiting to come back."
"Of course, you have to understand him."
"..." Xie Qingran drooped her head and said "Oh".
Ji Chen spoke up, "Auntie, Qingran had something to do when she went out yesterday. She told me that she didn't want me to wait for her because I had to..."
Xie's mother sighed lowly and interrupted Ji Chen's words, "Of course, look at how nice Ji Chen is, and he's still speaking for you."
"..."
"From now on, you and Ji Chen should be on good terms."
Xie Qingran glanced at Ji Chen and took his hand, "Don't worry, Mom."
She used some strength on her hand, but Ji Chen's expression did not change at all, and he still looked at her with that serious and affectionate look.
After all, Xie Qingran couldn't make up his mind and let go of his hand.
She thought to herself that she couldn't be blamed for this.
Seeing him look at him like that, Xie Qingran suddenly softened her heart.
She secretly blamed herself for being tempted by beauty again.
The smile in Ji Chen's eyes deepened, and Xie Qingran simply stopped looking at him.
While eating, Xie Jing walked in from outside.
There were not many people at the dinner table, only Xie's mother and Xie Qingran Ji Chen.
"Uncle." Xie Qingran waved her hand.
Xie Jing smiled at her, then looked at Xie's mother, "Sister-in-law."
Mother Xie smiled softly and stood up, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."
"No need, sister-in-law, I've already eaten."
He asked, "Isn't eldest brother at home?"
"He said that an old friend he hadn't seen for many years suddenly came over and went out early in the morning."
"Do you have anything to do with him?" Mother Xie asked softly.
"It's nothing serious. I'll contact my brother later."
Xie Jing didn't stay much longer, said goodbye and left.
Xie Qingran was very surprised, "Mom, did dad go to meet friends early in the morning?"
Xie's mother had no choice but to say, "Yes, I told him not to leave until after dinner, so he left in a hurry."
Xie Qingran touched his chin, "I still have something I want to talk to dad about."
Sorry, sorry, sorry, there are a lot of things in the past two days.
