Pei Ge intimately clung onto her mother’s arm as they followed Ji Ziming in a grand corridor.
This long corridor seed to be seldom used. Along it, exquisite paintings from well-known artists hung on the walls, as if their owner had no fear of them getting stolen.
This re corridor already spoke volus of its classiness.
Walking for quite so ti, the man stopped in front of a room and opened its door.
“We’re here.” He gestured to them.
“Oh!”
She walked into the room with her arm wound around her mother’s.
The room’s color sche was red brown. Coupled with the minimalistic yet elegant furnishings, the room appeared tasteful.
“Auntie, what would you like to eat?”
The man waited until the two won were seated before asking this question.
“?” Zhang Manhua smiled and said, “I’m not picky. Just choose what you like.”
The man nodded slightly at this.
“What about ? Why aren’t you asking what I want to eat?” Pei Ge blinked at him. She already knew that he did not ask her because he was aware of her favorite food, but she still wanted to tease him a little, so she asked.
Still, after being teased by her so many tis, how could he not see through her little tricks?
“I know what you like, and I’ve already ordered it.”
He did not drag it out or hesitate as he told her that.
She felt warm inside. With a boyfriend like this, there’s nothing else I can ask for!
The couple’s happy chatter made Zhang Manhua feel much more relaxed.
Ti slowly ticked by unknowingly while they were chatting.
“Xiao Ji, where are your parents? Aren’t they here yet?”
Zhang Manhua could not help but frown upon noticing that it was almost noon.
This lunch was supposed to be the first official eting between their two families. Their eting schedule was at 11:30 AM, but the other side had yet to arrive even now.
This seed a little unacceptable...
Technically, they should not be late at all to such an important event...
Could it be that his parents don’t like our Ge Ge?
As she thought of this, all her anxiety was dispelled as she beca a little displeased.
Actually, it was not just her who was displeased. As the involved party’s son, the man himself felt unhappy.
He coldly pursed his lips and answered, “I’ll make a call—”
Before he finished speaking or could take out his phone, the door to the private room was opened from the outside.
“Sorry, sorry. There’s a bit of a traffic jam so we arrived late!”
The mont the door opened, a friendly voice rang first before Zhang Manhua could even turn to look at the approaching person.
The voice was filled with guilt.
She raised her head, and when she saw the parents of her daughter’s boyfriend, she sighed in exasperation.
No wonder Xiao Ji is so handso! Turns out his parents are good-looking, too!
Even if they are already in their forties, they still look well!
“You must be Ge Ge’s mother!”
Ji Ziming’s mother looked at him and his girlfriend before she placed all her attention onto Zhang Manhua passionately.
“Yes, I am called Zhang Manhua.” She got up from her chair and politely nodded at her with a smile.
The three older people greeted one another and introduced themselves before they took their respective seats at the table.
“Manhua, I really envy you. You actually have such a nice daughter like Ge Ge!”
“Sister Qin, I am the one who should be envious. You have such a fine son like Xiao Ji!”
Although it was their first eting, the two madams actually had a lot to talk about.
Look now; they had only sat for a short while, but the two were already happily and familiarly chatting away like long-lost friends.
anwhile, the two younger ones sat beside their respective mothers and listened to them complint the other’s child with their lips twitching.
The man, especially, listened to his girlfriend’s mother praise him so much that, although he still had a straight face... he was actually feeling a little embarrassed inside.
“Manhua, I went to a master fortune-teller, who has very accurate predictions, previously, and he said that our Ge Ge’s eight characters are a perfect match for my son!”
Ji Ziming’s mother excitedly clasped her hands, chattering ceaselessly.
“Really? Is that true?” She believed in such things, too, so her interest was piqued when she heard this.
“Indeed! That master said that our Ge Ge and our Ming Ming are a match made in heaven! They are a union the heavens approved of! They are fated to be together!”
This was not just her bragging; she had truly brought this young couple’s eight characters for a fortune-reading previously.
She did not particularly believe in this and was rely dragged by a friend.
Still, when the fortune-telling master said all that about the daughter-in-law she had taken a liking, she was, of course, so ecstatic she totally believed him.
“Hmph! Superstitious!” Seeing that his wife was proudly bringing up that fortune-telling incident again, Ji Ziming’s father coldly snorted, seemingly uncaring.
What fated to be together? This whole thing barely started with a scratch!
If I don’t agree, I’ll see how she can be ‘fated’ to marry my son!
“Cough!” Ji Ziming lightly coughed, interrupting the two mothers excitedly chatting away and a father secretly feeling angry.
“Dad, mom, it’s already quite late. Let’s eat first.”
