"I will like it. The most important thing in giving a gift is the intention."

An Xingchen was successfully convinced by Gong Lingqian, and they rushed to the teahouse in the mall.

After carefully asking Gong Lingqian about his mother's favorite tea leaves, An Xingchen carefully asked the shop assistant about them. After carefully selecting them, she finally selected a pot of's favorite tea, the Jun Shan Silver Needle.

An Xingchen took the tea and brought it to the counter. Just as she was about to pay, Gong Lingqian moved even faster than An Xingchen and directly handed him his bank card.

Seeing that the clerk was about to receive Gong Lingqian's bank card, An Xingchen immediately took her own card to stop her: "Wait a moment, swipe this card."

As he spoke, An Xingchen took back the bank card that the shop assistant had just received from Gong Lingqian and returned it to Gong Lingqian: "You don't need to swipe your card. It's a gift from my aunt, of course I have to spend my own money."

Seeing that An Xingchen was insistent, Gong Lingqian kept his bank card.

A few small boxes of tea leaves amounted to five thousand nine hundred in all, almost spending all of An Xingchen's savings.

However, An Xingchen still could not help but become apprehensive in her heart … She was afraid that Gong Lingqian's mother would not like this gift that she had bought.

After letting the shop assistant carefully pack up, An Xingchen took the tea leaves and followed Gong Lingqian out of the department store.

Half an hour later, the Maybach stopped outside the Gong’s Mansion.

As Gong Lingqian held An Xingchen's hand, he got off the car, only to see a servant respectfully welcoming her.

"Good day young master, the Madam is waiting for you."

The servant said as he looked towards An Xingchen who was standing beside Gong Lingqian and greeted him, "Greetings, Miss An."

An Xingchen politely nodded and returned a smile. In front of others, being held by Gong Lingqian's hand caused her small, fair face to immediately flush red, and she somewhat uncomfortably moved her hands, attempting to break free from Gong Lingqian's large hands.

Unexpectedly, seemed to have found out An Xingchen's intentions the moment she had just moved. Not only did she not release her, she even tightened her grip on An Xingchen's small hand.

An Xingchen was unable to struggle free, she could only give up with a red face, and helplessly glared at Gong Lingqian, and allowed Gong Lingqian to lead her into the villa.

The Gong’s Mansion was a bit bigger than the one Gong Lingqian was living in right now.

There was a huge garden in the front yard, and it was filled with all kinds of luxuriant flowers. It was obvious that these flowers had been taken care of very diligently.

Just as he entered the living room, An Xingchen saw Shu Yurou busy with work in the kitchen.

"Madam, the Young Master and Miss An are here."

When Shu Yurou heard the servant's voice, she handed over the work she had on hand to the servant and walked out of the kitchen.

"Mom."

As Gong Lingqian spoke, he handed over the box he was holding to his. "Mom, I know you like drinking tea, this is the Silver Needle of Jun Shan that Xingchen bought for you, it's the type of tea that you drink often."

Shu Yurou received the box and nodded, only then did her gaze turn towards An Xingchen who was tightly holding onto it.

"Hello, Auntie."

An Xingchen smiled a little nervously as she greeted them.

Shu Yurou sized An Xingchen up from head to toe without batting an eyelid, the first impression she had was that An Xingchen was extremely beautiful, the look in her eyes was clean and clean, she did not seem like she was scheming at all.

He knew that bringing a gift was a good sign, but at least he was being considerate.

Shu Yurou's impression of An Xingchen had slightly improved.

"Thank you." Thank you. Shu Yurou smiled and thanked An Xingchen.

"Dinner is almost ready, the two of you go sit on the sofa and wait."

With that, Shu Yurou handed the box over to the servant, then turned and entered the kitchen to busy herself.

Gong Lingqian then pulled An Xingchen to sit on the sofa.

Not long after, Shu Yurou got a servant to bring out the prepared dishes.

"Take a seat." Shu Yurou said to Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen.

As the three sat down, Shu Yurou looked at An Xingchen and said, "Miss An, I wonder what dishes you like to eat. I only made a few that are good at it.

An Xingchen tensed up when she heard Shu Yurou talking to her, and quickly replied: "Aunty, I'm not picky with food, anything is fine."

His voice paused for a moment, then continued in an embarrassed tone: "Auntie, just call me by my name, I'm An Xingchen."

Shu Yurou nodded her head, seeing that An Xingchen was so nervous that she did not even touch the chopsticks, she took out a piece of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and placed it into the bowl in front of An Xingchen, "Ling Qian likes to eat my Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs the most, how about you try and taste it?"

A hint of red suddenly surfaced on An Xingchen's small, embarrassed face, and she hurriedly said to Shu Yurou: "Thank you, Auntie."

The two of them chatted as they ate, completely ignoring Gong Lingqian who was beside them.

In one meal, Shu Yurou's impression of An Xingchen improved quite a bit.

Other than his family background, the rest of them were compatible with Gong Lingqian.

However, Shu Yurou was not a pedantic person, and did not care about being a good person. She even heard that her own son had already been moved to Diting Courtyard.

Just by looking at how protective her son was holding onto An Xingchen's hand since the moment she entered, Shu Yurou knew that her son was truly interested in this An Xingchen.

It had been so many years, yet it was the first time Shu Yurou had seen her son being so attentive to a girl.

With his son's personality, even if she stopped him now, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

It seemed like he should find a time to personally explain to the Lu family about the engagement.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After dinner, Shu Yurou had actually wanted to keep Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen here for the night.

However, Gong Lingqian rejected his, "Mom, we won't be staying here tonight. We still have to work at the company tomorrow, so it's inconvenient for us to stay too far away from here."

The house was one hour away from work, so Gong Lingqian didn't mind, but he wanted An Xingchen to sleep for one more hour.

"Alright, then come back when you have time next weekend." Shu Yurou did not persist anymore and personally sent Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen out.

In the carriage, Gong Lingqian was driving while glancing at An Xingchen, who was beside him. An Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief, her lips curled up into a smile, and with one hand, she held onto An Xingchen's small hand, her ten fingers clasped tightly.

"Are you so nervous about meeting my mom?"

Hearing Gong Lingqian's voice, An Xingchen's face reddened, immediately becoming a little embarrassed. "Auntie is very nice … "But …"

"But... "I'm not good enough, I'm afraid aunty doesn't like me …"
