Chapter 651: Chapter 651: eting the Parents
Lin Feng was also in the dark, not knowing what they were up to.
Sibao and Erbao quickly hid them, their faces full of mystery.
"Dad, Mom, I saw Dabao with a girl."
This sentence imdiately caught the couple’s full attention, and they both peered outside.
"Where? Where? Quick, show !"
"I see her!"
"You do? Honey, who is she?"
"That one, wearing the white coat. The girl with the long hair."
"Ah, I see her too, but I can’t make out her face!"
"Oh, I see her now! She’s quite attractive, very pretty."
Zhang Yuxi’s eyes sparkled as she excitedly asked Lin Feng, "Honey, do you think she’s Dabao’s girlfriend?"
Lin Feng laughed. "You’re asking ? How would I know?"
Erbao stroked her chin. "I reckon Dabao isn’t interested in that girl, but she’s definitely into him."
"And she seems to co from a good family. You can’t identify the brands of her clothes, but the quality is high. They must be custom-made."
Skincare products, jewelry, clothing, and more could all be custom-made by skilled artisans. One could even commission a specific designer from a certain brand to create a unique product exclusively for a custor. This was exactly the kind of work Erbao was doing now, focusing on jewelry design. Her previously accumulated clients and reputation all played a part, making her business very successful. At least within the country, she had made a na for herself, and her custors were all wealthy or influential.
The family was quite satisfied with this girl. Zhang Yuxi, in particular, was eager to find out if she could be her future daughter-in-law.
Dabao noticed several pairs of eyes on him from not too far away. When he turned his head, his expression darkened. He saw several heads poking out from behind a car, his parents among them. It was actually pretty funny...
Lin Feng spoke up, "Let’s go. Our son has seen us."
Zhang Yuxi cleared her throat, straightening her clothes and hair. "Let’s go!"
Erbao also made so quick adjustnts, tidying up Xiaobao at the sa ti.
Dabao said to the girl, "My family’s here."
The girl suddenly beca flustered. She quickly fixed her appearance and turned to face several handso n and beautiful won. Without asking, she knew they had to be Dabao’s relatives.
Dabao smiled slightly. "Let
make an introduction."
"This is Zhu Lin, my colleague."
"These are my parents, my second sister, and my fourth brother."
After the introductions, Zhu Lin greeted them with a smile, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie!"
"Hello!"
She seed a bit flustered, but her etiquette was excellent and she spoke with grace.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. "Hello!"
Zhang Yuxi sized up Zhu Lin discreetly and gave her a slight nod. "Hello there!"
Dabao smiled. "You should head back now."
Zhu Lin’s eyes filled with reluctance. "Oh? I... I should go back now?"
Erbao quickly interjected, "Why don’t you co up and sit for a while, Miss Zhu?"
Zhang Yuxi also chid in, "If you’re not busy, you wouldn’t mind coming up for a bit, would you?"
Zhu Lin’s eyes widened with surprise and delight. "In that case, I hope I won’t be a bother!"
Xiaobao blinked and reached out for Dabao to carry her.
Dabao picked her up. "What did you have for dinner tonight?"
Xiaobao spoke like a little adult. "Nothing much... Big Brother, is she your girlfriend?"
She whispered the last question right into Dabao’s ear.
Dabao pinched her little nose and said with amusent, "No, don’t talk nonsense. She’ll be upset if she hears you."
Xiaobao uttered an "oh," clearly not convinced. After all, she had overheard Lin Feng and the others discussing that this girl might just be the one.
"Really? You’re not lying to ?"
This ti, Dabao spoke with unwavering certainty. "I’m not lying. We’re just friends."
Xiaobao said "oh" again, blinking as she looked at Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin was pretty—or rather, she had a stately presence. When she smiled, she beca very beautiful. She hadn’t expected to et her crush’s parents so unprepared. Not only was she empty-handed, but she also hadn’t dressed up properly.
Erbao was adept at warming up to people and naturally started chatting with Zhu Lin. "Miss Zhu, you’re my big brother’s colleague? Then you must be very impressive too."
Zhu Lin replied humbly, "Not at all. My abilities are nothing compared to your brother’s. He’s the truly remarkable one." Her eyes couldn’t hide the admiration and fondness she had for her crush.
Erbao said, "My brother is very capable, but anyone who can work where he does is already quite impressive. Is he very serious at work?"
Zhu Lin’s eyes lit up. It was as if she had a lot to say to Erbao, but she restrained herself. "Yes, your brother is super serious at work—stern, ticulous... a lot of people think he’s incredible. He’s not only competent, but he can also cook and take care of people. He’s very popular with his colleagues..."
Erbao laughed. "My brother is indeed very charming, but what we’re more interested in is, do you know if he has a girlfriend?"
Zhu Lin was taken aback, not expecting Erbao to ask this question. "As far as I know, many people like your brother, but he doesn’t seem to have a girlfriend."
Erbao said "oh" and, going with the flow, continued, "Miss Zhu, are you from Jingcheng?"
Zhu Lin nodded. "Yes."
Erbao smiled. "Then the next ti I’m in Jingcheng, I’ll have to find you."
Zhu Lin replied, "Of course."
Having recovered from her initial excitent and nervousness, Zhu Lin beca poised and dignified again.
Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng, walking behind them, heard the entire conversation loud and clear. The more Zhang Yuxi looked at Zhu Lin, the more satisfied she was with her appearance and how she carried herself. There’s a kind of upbringing and elegance that is ingrained in one’s character, not sothing acquired later in life. It speaks of a family’s heritage, and it was clear Zhu Lin ca from such a background. As for whether her son would like her or not, that was up to Dabao himself.
They would only be staying for one night, as Xiaobao had an early flight back to school the next day. So, upon arriving ho, while they were entertaining Zhu Lin, Zhang Yuxi had Erbao make sure Xiaobao went to bed.
With Dabao, Sibao, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yuxi all in the living room, it felt a bit crowded. After the initial pleasantries, Lin Feng went to the kitchen to cut so fruit.
Zhang Yuxi then asked Zhu Lin with concern, "Zhu Lin, where do you live? I’ll have Dabao drive you ho later. I’m not comfortable with a young woman like you going ho alone."
Zhu Lin smiled. "Auntie, my family’s driver will be here to pick
up soon. It’s no trouble at all."
Zhang Yuxi responded with an "oh." "You have a driver? Well, that’s fine then!"
Just then, Lin Feng ca out with a plate of fruit, and Zhang Yuxi cheerfully invited Zhu Lin to have so. Just as Sibao was about to reach for a piece, Zhang Yuxi slowly looked up and shot him a look. Under her gaze, Sibao slowly pulled back his hand, looking on wistfully.
Lin Feng stood up. "You all keep talking; I’m going to check on Xiaobao."
Zhang Yuxi also stood up. "I’ll co with you!"
Xiaobao was already asleep, so Lin Feng told Erbao to go get so rest as well.
