The dinner went well between the two families because of Little lon’s bright personality.
Seeing that her grandparents and Lu Yifeng’s mother was getting along with each other, Xia ilin can only sigh inwardly.
She really thought that Jing Yue was going to be a bitch mother since she was Lu Yifeng’s mother, who would have thought that her expectations were wrong.
Being brought up properly by her parents, Jing Yue was not like those spoiled rich people who would flaunt their powers toward others that are lower than them. Jing Yue was actually a good and reasonable person. If others treated her well, then she will treat them well. If others tried to bring any harm to her and her family, they will have to experience Jing Yue’s wrath.
Xia ilin excused herself and went to the restroom. Soon after, when she went out, she saw Lu Yifeng waiting for her.
She looked at him with a blank look on her face. "What?"
"My mother will be staying at our place for a few days. You will need to move in my room." Lu Yifeng said while he was leaning against the wall.
Xia ilin’s face turned pale. She was going to sleep in one room with him?!
"No. There are other guest rooms in the house, she can sleep there." She crossed her arms as she looked at him with a frown.
"Do you want her to think that we’re not in good terms? It may be written in the contract that we’re not going to sleep in one room but it’s also in the contract that we should act like a couple when we’re in front of others, right?" He reasoned out.
Xia ilin narrowed her eyes at him. How dare is he to use the contract she made work against her?!!
Lu Yifeng couldn’t help but inwardly smile with the reaction she was making. He can see how she was trying to figure sothing out against him. "My mother ca all the way from Guangzhou, she wanted to stay with us for a couple of days. Xiao Gua doesn’t seem to mind it."
’That’s because he has no hard feelings towards you!’ This is what she wanted to shout to him, but she can only keep it to herself. Is there no way out of this?
"I’m following our contract. You’ll just be staying in my room for a couple of days."
Xia ilin wanted to cry. That contract was to distance herself from him but why are things going in the wrong way?
"F-Fine..." She sighed in defeat. "The contract also ntioned that you are not allowed to touch without my permission. Just make sure you will keep your word."
The side of his lips finally curled up. "I always do."
He offered his hand to her. "Let’s go back."
She looked at the hand he offered. Did he want her to hold it? Not a chance!
Xia ilin ignored him and walked pass him as she headed back.
Lu Yifeng sighed. If it was the past him, he would have forced her to hold his hand, maybe he would even force her into a kiss before they go back but, since he has his temper on check, that was not going to happen.
He was not going to ruin this second chance.

"Goodbye, grandma, grandpa. Take care on your way back ho, okay?" Xia ilin said after she hugged her grandparents.
"Don’t forget to visit us sotis." Xia Jiamu gently patted her head. "Bring Xiao Gua, too."
"Of course!" She chuckled.
Ji Ruo turned to Lu Yifeng and gave him a warning gaze. "Make sure that you treat her well." She turned to her granddaughter. "Call if he’s giving you a problem."
’He already did, grandma.’ Xia ilin wanted to say but she can only smile at Ji Ruo. "Yes, grandma."
"Don’t worry, Madam Xia, my son is a responsible boy. He won’t give ilin any problem." Jing Yue said with a smile. "Right, Gua’er?"
Little lon nodded a few tis before he grinned. "Don’t worry, grandma, grandpa, llo will be your eyes! Dada is always good to llo and Momma."
The two elders couldn’t help but chuckle with what Little lon said, "Yes. Yes, Xiao Gua will be our eyes."
After bidding goodbye to the two Xia elders, Lu Yifeng went ho.
When they arrived, Jing Yue was brought to the guest room.
After changing into their sleeping attire, Xia ilin and Little lon went to Lu Yifeng’s room. Little lon wanted to sleep with his parents and since he was going to be with her, Xia ilin was a bit of relieved.
Little lon was so tired that the mont he laid down on the bed, he instantly fell asleep.
Although unlike Little lon, Xia ilin couldn’t fall asleep with Lu Yifeng in the room.
This didn’t escape Lu Yifeng’s eyes, he noticed the uneasiness in her.
He went out of the bed and pulled up the blanket for them before he walked away from the bed. "I rember that I have to take care of sothing in my study."
When he left, Xia ilin heaved out a sigh in relief. The nervousness and uneasiness she felt disappeared and this ti, she was able to sleep in peace.
anwhile, Lu Yifeng was in his study room. He was staring at his laptop. In the screen, Xia ilin and Little lon’s sleeping figures were seen.
He stared at it for a while before he closed his laptop. He took so files and started reading them.
