Lin Mu served chicken soup while speaking, "Nan Xi, here, try this bowl, see how Auntie’s cooking is?"
Nan Xi quickly accepted it with both hands, "Thank you."
Nan Xi looked at the chicken leg in the bowl; she wanted to take the at out.
Lin Mu saw this and quickly stopped her, "It’s all for you, eat up!"
Lin Fu laughed from the side, "I bought two chickens, there’s plenty of at, eat up!"
Nan Xi glanced at the other bowls and saw there were indeed chicken legs in them, so she sighed in relief.
Fan Lalan received a bowl without at and, after a couple of sips, didn’t want to drink anymore.
"Sister-in-law, eat so at!" Lin Xiaoyan said upon seeing this, ready to pick out so at for her.
Fan Lalan quickly covered her bowl, "You eat it, I get nauseous whenever I eat recently, and don’t feel like eating."
Lin Mu: "Your sister-in-law has been having severe nausea lately; she even dislikes her favorite foods now."
"How co?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law, then at her belly, "Is it because of the pregnancy?"
Fan Lalan, with a smile on her face, gently caressed her belly, "Yes, because of the pregnancy, hormonal changes, and the baby growing, pressing against the stomach...
Now, not only does eating get affected, but I also don’t sleep well at night."
Lin Xiaoyan didn’t quite understand this, so she didn’t know what to say.
"Nan Xi, have so more, don’t be shy, eat if you want to." Lin Fu noticed Nan Xi finished eating and imdiately said warmly.
Nan Xi shook her head, "I’m good, Uncle."
"Eat, eat, this is just a snack, I’ll make sothing delicious for you guys tonight!"
"Really no need, I’m good..."
Lin Xiaoyan quickly grabbed her dad, "Dad, stop persuading, Sister Nan doesn’t eat much by nature."
She then looked at Nan Xi, "Sister Nan, eat if you want to, don’t feel bad if you don’t want to."
Nan Xi nodded, "I won’t be polite, I’m really full."
"That’s fine then."
That night, when Lin Xiaoyan lay on the bed, she realized she forgot to tell her parents about her relationship.
She thought of telling them so they could use it as a reason to decline Auntie.
Forget it, I’ll tell them tomorrow.
Early the next day, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi went out for morning exercise, and when they returned ho with breakfast, they were stunned by the scene at ho.
"Yanyan, you’re back, goodness, you’ve changed! You’re getting prettier, co in..."
Auntie happily ca over and grabbed Lin Xiaoyan’s hand as she returned.
Lin Xiaoyan smiled awkwardly, "Auntie, this..."
She looked at the people in the room, extrely embarrassed.
Lin Fu and Lin Mu were forcing smiles; they didn’t expect a group to arrive so early without any notice.
Lin Mu was seething, if not for the guests, she would’ve had a shouting match with her sister!
"Co, sit down, this is your Aunt Han’s coworker’s son, this is his mother, this young man is quite good, works at the electric company..."
Lin Xiaoyan glanced at Aunt Han and others across the sofa, politely greeting, "Hello, Auntie."
Aunt Han smiled at Lin Xiaoyan, "Yanyan, are you still working in Sea City?"
"Yes..." Lin Xiaoyan smiled awkwardly.
"What kind of job? Is that your friend?" Aunt Han looked at Nan Xi standing behind Lin Xiaoyan and asked.
Lin Xiaoyan looked back at Sister Nan and softly said, "Sister Nan, you can go back to the room, I’m okay here."
Nan Xi coldly scanned the people across from her, and said in a low voice, "I’ll sit here."
She walked toward the dining area, sat down, straightened her shoulders, and kept her gaze on them.
Everyone present, except for Lin Fu, Lin Mu, and Lin Xiaoyan, felt uneasy under Nan Xi’s gaze.
"Who is that?" Aunt Han lightly nudged Lin Xiaoyan’s aunt and asked softly.
Aunt looked at Nan Xi and t her cold gaze, she felt a tightness in her chest and quickly averted her eyes.
"I... don’t know."
"Well... Yanyan, why don’t you... have a chat with him?"
Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the man across from her, smiled embarrassedly, "I forgot to tell my parents last night, I’ve got a boyfriend, so..."
"Boyfriend?!" Lin Fu and Lin Mu looked at their daughter in shock.
Lin Xiaoyan’s aunt was also full of surprise, "Really? What does he look like? How old is he? What does he do? Where’s his family from? When are you planning to get engaged..."
"Ruixue!" Lin Mu sternly interrupted her sister’s questions, her face cold as she looked at her sister, "Since Yanyan is already in a relationship, you should leave now, sorry about today, especially since you didn’t give us any notice."
Aunt Han noticed things were not going well and quickly stood up, "Oh, no worries, no worries, it’s our fault for not asking clearly, we’ll be on our way then."
Soon, the house was empty, leaving only Lin Xiaoyan’s aunt still there.
With no outsiders, Lin Fu didn’t say much and turned to go into the kitchen.
Lin Mu imdiately started arguing with her sister.
Lin Xiaoyan wanted to interject but was pushed into the room by her mom.
Listening to the argunt outside, Lin Xiaoyan felt helpless, as Nan Xi ca in, looking at her.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, "I’m fine, it’s just... my aunt is actually quite nice, just likes to ddle sotis."
Nan Xi had no reply, for she doesn’t engage much with people who make decisions on others’ behalf without consulting them.
Lin Xiaoyan listened to the argunt outside, which ended with her aunt’s apology.
"Ding"
At this mont, a ssage from He Qi’an ca, asking when she’d return to Sea City.
Lin Xiaoyan thought for a mont, "Not sure, thinking of staying ho for a few days, there’s nothing urgent back ho..."
He Qi’an: "How is there nothing urgent, don’t you have anyone you’re thinking of?"
Seeing He Qi’an’s reply, a smile flickered in Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes, "Nobody!"
He Qi’an: "You might not, but I miss you."
Lin Xiaoyan: ......
He Qi’an: "Really!"
Lin Xiaoyan thought for a bit, "Might be back soon."
He Qi’an keenly sensed there might be more behind Lin Xiaoyan’s words.
"What’s happened?"
Lin Xiaoyan sighed and explained what had just happened.
While eating, when He Qi’an read that his girlfriend told Lin Fu and Lin Mu about her relationship, he was so delighted he accidentally choked.
"Cough cough... cough cough..." He Qi’an coughed while smiling, feeling overjoyed.
Yanyan finally told her parents!
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Take a sip of water to ease it..."
People around He Qi’an looked at him, handing him water.
He Qi’an waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
He took the water, drank a sip, and after soothing his throat, he thanked them and hurried to reply to his girlfriend’s ssage.
Before leaving, Li He glanced at Boss’s phone and found him sending a coquettish emoji!!!
Li He was so shocked he didn’t know which foot to move first!
"Brother He, what’s wrong?" Zhang Ming finished eating and saw Li He’s odd expression, patting his shoulder.
Li He snapped back and quickly said, "Nothing!"
