"Have you finished packing your things?" Gong Lingqian smiled as he looked at An Xingchen.
Ever since Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen had gotten together, the number of times Gong’s Group had worked overtime had decreased by a lot.
Being stared at by Gong Lingqian in such a manner, An Xingchen's small white face couldn't help but flush, and she nodded at Gong Lingqian: "Finished."
With that, An Xingchen took her own bag and walked in front of Gong Lingqian.
Gong Lingqian took the opportunity to hold An Xingchen's hand. As the two of them walked towards the elevator, Gong Lingqian said to An Xingchen: "Tonight, my mom wants us to go to the old house to eat. She even said that she specially made you a dish that you like."
After hearing Gong Lingqian's words, the blush on An Xingchen's face deepened. With an embarrassed look, he asked Gong Lingqian, "Then did you finish the tea auntie that I bought for auntie last time? Did she still like it? I'll go to the tea shop and get Auntie some. "
Looking at An Xingchen's nervous expression, the smile on Gong Lingqian's face became wider. She then pulled An Xingchen into the elevator and said, "No need, you bought so much last time, my mother hasn't finished drinking it yet."
Upon hearing Gong Lingqian's words, An Xingchen immediately continued, "Then does aunty still have anything else that she likes? I'll buy something else and bring it over. "
Although it was not the first time he had seen Gong Lingqian's mother, An Xingchen could not help but be nervous. After all, she was Gong Lingqian's mother, the mother of the person she liked.
Gong Lingqian saw An Xingchen's nervousness, and raised his hands to scoop An Xingchen into her embrace. He then lowered his head and soothingly kissed An Xingchen's forehead, and his deep and pleasant voice rang beside An Xingchen's ears, "You used to be the best present you could give my mother, so there's no need to be nervous. My mother only called us over because she missed us."
Hearing Gong Lingqian's voice, An Xingchen's somewhat nervous heart immediately calmed down a bit. She tightly held onto Gong Lingqian's warm palm, and sweetly and cutely nodded towards Gong Lingqian.
Just as he arrived at the Old Manor, Shu Yurou, who had heard the commotion, came out of his villa.
Seeing Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen holding hands, Shu Yurou's smile became even wider.
Although Gong Lingqian did not specifically ask An Xingchen to buy a present, but he deliberately went to Shu Yurou's favorite dessert shop to buy a piece of cake made out of Qi Feng cheese.
An Xingchen carried the cake and greeted Shu Yurou with a smile: "Hello Auntie, I heard from Ling Qian that you like the cake in this shop, so I bought some when I passed by."
Shu Yurou caught the cake and the smile on her face became even wider. She knew clearly in her heart that this cake was not in the same direction as the way to the old house.
An Xingchen said that she bought it on the way, but she did not want to take the credit.
"Hungry?" I made Aunt Zhang cook your favorite food for you tonight, eat more later. "
Shu Yurou and An Xingchen chatted and laughed along the way and entered the house, but actually threw Gong Lingqian, the proper son, behind their heads.
Aunt Zhang's hands and feet were nimble and quickly, a table full of sumptuous dishes was prepared.
Shu Yurou pulled An Xingchen to a seat and Gong Lingqian, her own son, sat across from her.
Shu Yurou really did like An Xingchen and also felt bad for her background.
While holding onto the chopsticks, she first picked up the dishes for An Xingchen without even bothering to eat it herself.
"Xingchen, this pork chop is delicious, it's your favorite sweet and sour taste, eat more."
"Xingchen, you're too skinny. This cod is fried well. Try it."
"Xingchen, drink a bowl of chicken soup, chicken soup to replenish your body."
In just a few minutes, the dishes in the small bowl in front of An Xingchen almost piled up into a small mountain.
This made An Xingchen feel extremely flattered to the point that she was somewhat embarrassed. With a red face, she said to Shu Yurou: "Auntie, you should eat more as well."
With that, An Xingchen saw that Shu Yurou still planned to continue giving her food, but she really could not finish it. With regards to Shu Yurou's good intentions, An Xingchen was too embarrassed to directly reject, and could only look towards Gong Lingqian for help.
Receiving An Xingchen's pleading gaze, the corner of Gong Lingqian's mouth hooked up into a smile. She placed a piece of fried cod into Shu Yurou's bowl and said, "Mom, don't be so anxious to help her, you haven't even eaten it yet. Fried cod is Aunt Zhang's specialty, you should try it too."
Gong Lingqian's words successfully saved An Xingchen.
After a meal, the three of them ate happily, as if they were a family of three.
Seeing that An Xingchen and Gong Lingqian had finished eating, Shu Yurou put down her chopsticks.
Actually, she did not just ask Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen to come over for a meal today.
When they saw Ruan Qingwan busily finding a partner for her to marry in the last reunion between the sisters, it suddenly reminded her of something.
Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen had already been together for a period of time, and their relationship was extremely good. Furthermore, Gong Lingqian was not young anymore, he was already at the age where he should get married.
Furthermore, what was even more important was that she understood her son Gong Lingqian's personality. Gong Lingqian firmly believed that a person wouldn't easily change their minds, and since this was the case, why not marry a bit earlier and settle this matter.
Thinking about it, Shu Yurou looked at Gong Lingqian and said to him: "Ling Qian, Xing Xing, actually, I have something important to tell you about when I called you two back tonight."
Shu Yurou looked at An Xingchen who had tensed up suddenly, and laughed while saying in a gentle tone, "Xingchen, do not be nervous, aunty has been thinking about the relationship between you and Ling Qian for a long time, and your relationship is so close, I think the two of you should consider getting married."
An Xingchen never thought that Shu Yurou would suddenly bring up the topic of marriage. It was impossible for her to not be nervous, and the small heart in her chest started to beat even faster.
The nervous An Xingchen stopped breathing, he did not know what to do, and subconsciously looked towards Gong Lingqian who was seated opposite of him.
On the other hand, the other party, Gong Lingqian, acted like nothing had happened and was extremely calm. Even the expression on his face did not change.
Gong Lingqian was indeed very calm, because he didn't feel that his mother's suggestion was anything surprising. In fact, Gong Lingqian had already started to plan for the marriage in his heart recently, but he never thought that before he could say it out loud, his mother would actually say it for him.
