Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239 eting the Parents Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239 eting the Parents The weekend arrived quickly, and Zhou Shengting had already bought gifts in advance.
Early in the morning, he got up to wash up, then changed into a new set of clothes.
Bai Lan was stunned for a mont, “Aren’t you being a bit too formal?”
It was indeed a bit too ceremonious.
Zhou Shengting walked over nervously, then with furrowed brows, he said, “What? Is it too abrupt?”
He was usually accustod to big occasions, but eting the parents was truly a first for him.
So he was feeling sowhat uneasy now.
What if Bai Lan’s parents didn’t approve of him, then…
Zhou Shengting thought this and couldn’t help feeling even more nervous.
Bai Lan found it sowhat funny, having never seen Zhou Shengting like this before.
So he had such an adorable side to him, how novel.
However, not wanting to discourage him, Bai Lan still smiled and said, “No, it’s good, but don’t you think it’s still early?”
Bai Lan had already called ho last night, given a heads-up, saying she would bring a friend ho today.
Bai Lan had spoken so formally that her parents probably guessed as much.
It wasn’t even 10 o’clock yet, and Zhou Shengting was already setting off with Bai Lan, carrying things.
…
The Bai family had a standalone courtyard house, the kind with a small courtyard, separated from the old street by a tall phoenix tree.
When Zhou Shengting and Bai Lan arrived, the Bai family couple was already there to greet them at the door.
Seeing the handso Zhou Shengting, their hearts were filled with satisfaction.
Back at ho, Bai’s mother imdiately went to the kitchen to make tea, while the two n in the living room were deep in pleasant conversation.
It was as if everyone had known each other for a long ti.
Bai’s father’s face was full of contented smiles, and the man sitting opposite him also wore a gentle smile, making the atmosphere extrely pleasant.
Bai Lan stood there, feeling sowhat superfluous.
“Bai Lan,” Bai’s mother, seeing her daughter zoning out, called her over, “Co and help quickly.”
Zhou Shengting looked over upon hearing that, his hand holding the tea cup pausing montarily.
His gaze gradually deepened.
Bai Lan, needing to help in the kitchen, had tied up her long hair and fixed it with a pen.
Her neckline was smooth and white, resembling a beautiful swan.
Zhou Shengting discovered that his woman was truly a treasure, endlessly fascinating to look at.
“Mr. Zhou, you are thoughtful.” Bai’s father politely said.
“Uncle,” Zhou Shengting, with a smile, “just call Sheng Ting.”
Bai’s father grew even more fond of this young man. His manners, speech, and behavior were impeccable.
“Now, where were we? Oh yes, Go. If you’re also interested, we could have a match.” Bai’s father was a Go enthusiast; previously lacking a partner, he had kept himself entertained alone.
The two were getting more and more enthusiastic, seemingly having t a kindred spirit.
At that mont, Zhou Shengting finally felt at ease, his nervousness subsiding.
For lunch, they naturally stayed, and Zhou Shengting rembered Bai Lan had ntioned her father liked to sip a bit of white liquor. He thoughtfully arranged for a friend to bring a few bottles of aged Maotai.
And Bai’s mother? A beautifully embroidered silk scarf and a handbag suitable for her age were given, delighting the two elders beyond asure, their happiness unparalleled.
They never ceased to praise Zhou Shengting’s thoughtfulness, a gift that truly touched their hearts, showcasing the giver’s ticulousness.
Bai Lan’s excellent cooking skills were inherited from her mother; this al was truly a blessing for Zhou Shengting’s taste buds.
