Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Arrange a eting Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Arrange a eting Lu Yichen rely raised his eyes and gave Zhong ngfan a fleeting glance, but there was a complete lack of recognition in his gaze.
Just a simple look made Zhong ngfan break out in a cold sweat. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body unbearably cold.
Moreover, she could feel that in Lu Yichen’s eyes she did not exist. It seed as though with a re wave of his hand, she would disappear into dust. It was the first ti she felt such a deaning existence.
Lu Yichen turned his head to look at Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, his expression much more serious, “Old Sir, Old Madam, my father’s aning is, when can we arrange a eting between the two families?”
“Cough, cough, cough—” Zhong Niangyao was caught off guard by this statent, giving Lu Yichen a glaring look.
Lu Yichen had never discussed this matter with her before deciding on his own, truly taking her by surprise.
Lu Yichen extended his hand and gently patted Zhong Niangyao on the back, his tone filled with endless doting, “How careless of you!”
Zhong Niangyao lifted her head and glared fiercely at Lu Yichen. Although she didn’t speak, her intent was very clear.
Unlike Zhong Niangyao’s shock, Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were obviously thrilled.
Not just them, even the others at the table couldn’t help but feel excited upon hearing Lu Yichen’s words.
Previously, Zhong Niangyao had visited the Lu Family, and Old Master Lu liked her very much. The etings she had with the Lu Family seed promising.
However, the disparity between the Lu Family and the Zhong Family was still too big. Until things were settled, they couldn’t truly be at peace.
Was it finally going to be settled now?
Unlike the others’ self-serving interests, Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were purely happy for their granddaughter’s happiness.
“That ti can be decided by your side,” said Old Master Zhong after a light cough, “Once you set a ti, just let us know.”
Lu Yichen nodded, “Alright, I’ll discuss it with my father after I return.”
Beside them, Zhong Niangyao said nothing, her face bearing a smile, but in a place no one could see she reached out, pinched a soft part of Lu Yichen’s waist firmly, and then made a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.
Feeling a sharp pain at his waist, Lu Yichen’s facial expression didn’t change at all.
For the rest of the ti, other than Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao being unaffected, everyone else felt sowhat dizzy, as if floating in mid-air.
After dinner, Lu Yichen did not stay for long and soon took his leave, with Zhong Niangyao escorting him out.
Once outside, Lu Yichen suddenly stopped, looked at Zhong Niangyao, and then pointed to his own cheek.
Watching Lu Yichen’s gesture, Zhong Niangyao felt sowhat perplexed.
“A farewell kiss?” Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Niangyao, a rare smile on his face and his tone relaxed, “You’ve escorted out, won’t you give a farewell kiss?”
Zhong Niangyao rolled her eyes in resignation, “You really think too much. I ca out with you just to ask, what exactly did you an by tonight’s dinner discussion?”
“You an the part about the families eting,” Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow, “We’re officially dating now, so isn’t eting at this point quite normal? Or are you saying—”
At this point, his tone carried a hint of danger, “You were just playing around and don’t see a future with ?”
“How could that be? I’m not that kind of person.”
At this mont, Zhong Niangyao’s will to survive was especially strong, “I just feel it might be too soon.”
“It’s not too soon,” Lu Yichen replied with a light chuckle, “Besides, even if you weren’t thinking about us, you should consider the elderlies! They have been hoping we could settle down sooner rather than later.”
After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Niangyao paused, then recalling the often hesitant expressions of Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, she eventually nodded, “Alright then!”
Having received Zhong Niangyao’s affirmative answer, a glint flashed across Lu Yichen’s eyes, then he promptly leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead, “Since you are reluctant to give a goodbye kiss, let take the initiative!”
Feeling the warmth on her forehead, a tingling sensation flitted through Zhong Niangyao’s heart. She imdiately felt her cheeks heat up and pushed Lu Yichen away briskly.
“Alright, it’s getting late, you should go,” she said, her voice shy.
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s coy tone, Lu Yichen chuckled softly, then reached out to pat her hair, “Alright, go inside first! I’ll leave after you’ve entered.”
After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Niangyao didn’t say anything more and turned to walk back into the house. However, her sowhat erratic steps indicated her inner shyness.
Watching Zhong Niangyao’s sowhat frantic pace, Lu Yichen chuckled quietly, but made no sound. He thought that if he really laughed out loud, Zhong Niangyao would probably beco angry. Then, they would likely have days of being at odds, which would just be hard on him.
But watching Zhong Niangyao act this way still made him happy, as it showed she cared about him in her heart.
Zhong Niangyao felt her cheeks were a bit hot until she entered the house, only then her racing heartbeat returned to normal.
“Congratulations!” a voice suddenly rang out.
Zhong Niangyao wasn’t startled; she looked up to see Zhong ngfan standing not far from her, her gaze slightly narrowed, “Zhong ngfan, it seems, having a child really can change soone. You’ve changed a lot!”
“Is that so?” Zhong ngfan was slightly taken aback, then smiled, “I feel that the current is pretty good. My parents and my brother, they all say I’ve beco more sensible. Don’t you think the current is pretty good?”
Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled up slightly, suddenly laughing out loud, “What I think doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you think this version of yourself is great, then that’s good enough.”
Zhong ngfan smiled as well, “Of course, I think this version of myself is the best. If only I had realized this sooner.”
