Chapter 110 It’s good to get married early (please subscribe)
I wasted a little time because I met a fan.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian returned to the car and put away the gifts for Principal An.
The two of them came to the front row of the car, one on the left and the other on the right.
Not long after driving, the two of them arrived at Liu Qianqian’s father’s house before sunset.
On the way, Liu Qianqian kept chatting about today's harvest. She liked this role very much and observed it very carefully. Xiang Yang pricked up her ears and listened all the way.
"It's good if she likes it." Xiangyang thought secretly.
After parking the car and carrying the gifts to take in, she came to the front and back of the door. Liu Qianqian reached out and pressed the doorbell.
After a while, footsteps came from inside. When the door opened, Xiangyang took a deep breath, adjusted his state, mobilized the positive emotions in his mind, and prepared to face the next 'difficulty'.
Seeing his posture as if standing at attention and the respectful attitude on his face, Liu Qianqian covered the corners of her mouth and giggled.
She was happy and Xiangyang showed her anxiety.
That was a sign of caring, as if silently telling him how much he cared about her.
The door of the house "squeaked" and someone pushed it open from the inside. Liu Xiaoli's figure suddenly appeared at the door of Principal An's house, which surprised the two people who were already nervous.
Looking at her mother's cold face in shock, Liu Qianqian opened her lips and teeth slightly, her slender eyelashes trembled, and the fingers holding Xiang Yang's arm subconsciously grasped Xiang Yang's arm.
This made Xiang Yang come back to his senses, and he greeted nervously: "Auntie."
The intimate behavior between the two made Liu Xiaoli frown. She nodded lightly, said "hmm" to Xiang Yang, and turned her attention to her daughter Liu Qianqian.
"Mom," Liu Qianqian said cautiously, "Why are you here?"
Compared to Xiang Yang, Liu Qianqian got a worse look.
After Liu Xiaoli said "Come in first", she turned around and walked back to the living room leading to the corridor. At the door of the living room, Principal An looked at the young couple at the door hesitantly.
Xiang Yang looked at Liu Qianqian with a confused expression, "Your mother is a bit scary."
Liu Qianqian nodded and pursed her lips tightly, indicating that her previous joyful mood had reached its lowest point. She glanced at her father, who was at a loss inside, with some resentment, and whispered:
"My dad is really unreliable."
"Uncle may also have a hard time." After Xiang Yang finished speaking, Liu Qianqian Rolled his eyes.
After she glanced at Principal An with some complaints, she pulled Xiang Yang's arm and walked into the open door.
In her mind, she had rehearsed how to introduce Xiang Yang to her mother countless times before, but to her surprise, it was all in vain.
When passing by Principal An, she softly "hummed" and stopped.
For her mother's sudden arrival, she was not notified. She was more dissatisfied that this was an occasion that she had carefully planned to formally introduce Xiangyang to her father.
But it was destroyed
Principal An grinned.
Embarrassed, he also knew that what he had done was a bit disrespectful to his daughter's trust and to Xiangyang, a little guy he still admired.
But who made Liu Xiaoli so strong that he didn't dare to disobey?
After all, some guilt is like a pigtail that can be caught easily.
"Principal An."
Walking in, Xiang Yang took the initiative to say hello, handed the calligraphy and painting under a painting carefully selected at the flea market to Principal An, and said: " Sissi and I chose it for you. I didn’t know much about it, but I thought it looked pretty, so I bought it.”
“Just call me uncle”
"Okay, Uncle An."
After Xiang Yang said with a smile, Liu Qianqian raised her nose and raised her mouth slightly, and said deliberately: "Okay, Uncle An."
"Qian Qian." Principal An paused and sighed, "The food is ready, let's eat first. Xiangyang, welcome to my house." After saying that, he extended his hand to Xiangyang.
"You're welcome, uncle." Xiangyang responded while shaking hands.
The moment the palms touched lightly, he felt that the other party shook his palm very carefully, as if conveying some message, which made him feel that the next test might not be easy.
But our relationship has been confirmed for a week.
When he let go, when Xiang Yang looked sideways at Liu Qianqian, he found that she had been clutching his arm. Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Let's go. Didn't you just keep shouting that you were hungry on the road? Let me drive faster." Do you want it?”
“I’m so angry,” Liu Qianqian complained softly to Xiang Yang.
But this sound was enough for the three people who were very close to hear it very clearly, and the awkward atmosphere instantly enveloped each other.
"Okay, I'm hungry." After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he smiled at Principal An.
After the few people finished the conversation in the corridor and came to the living room, facing Liu Xiaoli and the neatly stacked meals on the dining table, Xiang Yang forced out a smile.
Wearing a dark red cheongsam, Liu Xiaoli looks extremely mature. Under her mature appearance, she is a woman full of charm. The years seem to have just inadvertently left some traces on her face.
Her eyes glanced at Principal An aside without trace, as if she was scolding him for being delayed in the corridor for too long, and then stopped at Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian.
Looking sharply at the two people and their arms stuck together, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
This breath of air made her feel uncomfortable.
"Mom, Xiangyang and I are just friends." After she thought about her daughter's words not long ago, she felt that she had been deceived. If it weren't for the fact that things in the United States had made her exhausted, she would not have been able to mention it. She must have the energy to strictly discipline her lying daughter. But despite this, after taking a deep breath, she said coldly to the two of them: "You go and wash your hands first."
"Yes." Liu Qianqian nodded timidly.
Facing her gaze and hearing the words, Xiang Yang pursed his lips, but felt in his heart that he might not be able to pass this test tonight. If the other party can choose a gentler way to remind the two of them not to stick together, it explains everything.
It was exactly what he expected.
The moment the two let go of their hands and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash their hands, Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter vaguely and signaled her to go to the kitchen and wash her hands and not follow Xiang Yang.
"Mom" Liu Qianqian frowned and raised her head. After saying "the kitchen is dirty", she hurriedly came behind Xiang Yang. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she closed the door and squeezed in beside Xiang Yang. As he turned on the faucet and made the sound of running water, he whispered in Xiangyang's ear:
"I was scared to death just now."
There was something indescribable in his tone. Her sense of grievance, coupled with her delicate appearance, makes people feel pitiful.
"I'm fine." Xiang Yang smiled sheepishly.
At this age, he has experienced everything he should have experienced. After getting over the initial embarrassment and nervousness, he calmly washed his hands in the sink and started soaping up.
Not only did he hit himself, he also smeared a lot of foam on Liu Qianqian's hands and said:
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Qianqian was stunned by this question. She felt a little surprised, but it was right if she thought about it carefully.
If you are fine, why are you afraid of this place? Could it be that if his mother didn't agree, he wouldn't be with Xiang Yang?
Wanting to understand this, a smile appeared in her clear eyes, she squeezed Xiang Yang dissatisfiedly with her elbow, and said:
"Make some room for me "
"Huh?" Xiangyang looked down and saw that he had quite a lot of space for the other party. If he moved any further, he would have to go to another sink to wash his hands.
Liu Qianqian raised her head slightly and pursed her lips: "After today, you are not allowed to bully me in the future."
Xiang Yang's heart stopped for a moment, "How could that be?"
"You will do it. Talk nicely to me." Liu Qianqian said, standing on her tiptoes and touching Xiang Yang's lips, taking a deep breath and wiping her hands with a cheerful smile on her face.
It seems like it wouldn’t be so scary if he was around.
When Liu Qianqian came out of the bathroom, she met her mother's gaze.
Seeing her daughter chase her into the bathroom regardless of gender differences, and seeing the joyful smile on her face after she came out, Liu Xiaoli felt very satisfied.
When was the last time my daughter made me so angry?
When was the last time my daughter showed such a sincere smile?
She glanced at Xiang Yang with a complicated smile.
"Come on, come and eat quickly, the food is almost cold." Seeing that his daughter was ready to go all out, Principal An stopped being vague and directly greeted the two young people to come to the table to eat.
"Let's eat first." Liu Xiaoli hesitated and said.
Four people gathered around the table and sat down facing each other. The food on the table was very rich, and it could be seen that it was specially prepared by Principal An. As for the taste, it was naturally the taste of Liu Qianqian's hometown.
I tried it when Xiang Yang came here last time. I can’t say I like it or dislike it.
Among the Chinese dishes, there is only one dish that he can't eat, but he can adapt to the others.
However, the small wine glass in front of him and the wine dispenser next to him made him frown a little.
"Come on, let's have a drink first to celebrate." After Principal An finished speaking, he used his own wine dispenser to fill up the small wine glass in front of him.
"Dad, Xiang Yang can't drink, he has to drive."
Liu Qianqian didn't wait for Xiang Yang to speak, she directly reached out and took the wine dispenser in front of Xiang Yang in front of her, and said with a smile: "I'll drink with Dad. I'll rest at your place tonight."
"Oh, why did I forget about this?" Principal An suddenly smiled and said to Xiangyang: "You can't drink." Driving, don’t drink. Then Xiangyang, just drink some juice. Uncle will bring it to you.” Go to the kitchen.
Liu Xiaoli looked around and softly expressed her judgment: "It seems that this is not the first time Xiangyang has come."
"Mom"
"Ah, the child is here. It's just once." Principal An said, while filling the wine glass in front of his ex-wife, and whispered: "Have a good meal, we will talk about it later."
"Who will talk to you. It's my family." Liu Xiaoli, who was so worried, rolled her eyes at Principal An.
"Dad"
"Then we are not a family." Principal An waved to Liu Qianqian, then gave his ex-wife a smile and said: "Have a nice meal, we haven't gotten together for a long time. As for you, you have just dealt with all the troubles. Let’s rest first and don’t talk emotionally.
We are just having a home-cooked meal today.”
After he simply set the tone for dinner, the people at the table stared at each other. , neither spoke. Liu Qianqian also put away her little emotions, with a touch of sadness on her face. She knew exactly what her mother was dealing with when she returned to the United States.
The stepfather was very kind to her, and also very kind to her mother.
Most of the reason why the two of them got to where they are today is because they were together less and separated more.
In the final analysis, all this is because whether she is active or passive, this puts Liu Qianqian into a dilemma when facing her mother.
"Okay, let's eat first." Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter's eyes drooping, and her heart was moved, and she said gently.
"Yes, yes, let's eat first."
The food is good, the wine is strong, and the taste is to everyone's liking, but the atmosphere never gets warm.
After temporarily letting go of her unhappiness, Liu Xiaoli also found a few topics she cared about at the dinner table and chatted with Xiang Yang for a few words.
It's not that she doesn't admire the young man in front of her. To be honest, knowing that Xiang Yang, who comes from an ordinary family, can achieve such achievements now, she can't help but look high on him.
But with such achievements, he becomes his daughter’s boyfriend.
When she heard that Xiangyang was driving a Peugeot 207, she felt a little uncomfortable. When she heard that Xiangyang's rented apartment only had one bedroom and one living room, and Liu Qianqian had been there several times, she was worried and saw the calm and steady look of the young man in front of her. It was inevitable that she would have more things on her mind.
Well, she doesn’t agree with the matter between the two of them.
Watching Xiang Yang chatting eloquently with her ex-husband, Liu Qianqian listened intently, and she made a decision in secret.
Strong women and weak men are destined to not go far.
After making up her mind, she found an opportunity and asked with a smile:
“Xiang Yang, you have been alone outside for so many years, have your parents ever urged you to get married early? A partner or something?"
"I keep urging you."
Xiang Yang raised his head, narrowed his deep eyes, pursed his lips, and looked at Liu Qianqian and said: "So. I also want to take Sissi back to my house after you two agree.”
"It should, it should." Principal An agreed with a smile, "Both parents should check it out first, but don't be too anxious about this matter, and let our family Sissi make preparations. Your relationship has just started. No matter how stable it is."
Putting money aside, he simply admired the young man in front of him. In the fashion world dominated by Western culture, he is still thinking about how to promote traditional Chinese culture. This alone makes him very satisfied.
Liu Qianqian lowered her head subconsciously.
Xindao, this guy was thinking quite far. Not long after confirming the relationship, he wanted to take himself home to show off to his relatives and friends. I don’t ask myself in advance whether I agree or not.
Don’t you agree?
Hearing Xiang Yang's frank admission, Liu Xiaoli stared at him blankly for a few seconds, and finally smiled.
After laughing, Liu Xiaoli said approvingly:
"Your parents are so old, it would be good for you to get married early."
"Mom, we just just Let's start dating." Liu Qianqian's slightly drunken face turned red and tempting.
Liu Xiaoli, who was mentally prepared for her daughter's behavior, was not surprised. Instead, she stared at Xiang Yang with a smile.
Seeing Xiang Yang's stunned look, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Judging from his expression, she knew that this smart young man understood the meaning of his words. She didn't want to make things embarrassing, which would not be good for anyone.
But she hopes Xiangyang can understand for himself that the relationship between him and his daughter is not just a mismatch, but
the relationship between the two is just an encounter.
After this encounter, the relationship between the two should remain at the level of friends.
That’s all.
