Chapter 179: Meet the Parents
The name.
Xia Ying held the phone, half stunned, and did not react.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, the bell was still ringing over and over again, whether she wanted to answer it or not.
When she pressed the call button, the other party hung up.
Occasionally, she would have the back of a man in her head, and when she woke up, she found nothing, nothing, just a dream.
"Which flavor do you like?" Lu Xiaoan came over with two ice creams, the color was very beautiful, and it made people's appetite move when they saw it.
She chose a strawberry flavor and said to Lu Xiaoan, "A person named Lu Shijing called you." β
"Who?"
Lu Xiao'an's voice paused, his expression froze, and the vanilla ice cream in his mouth changed its taste.
He looked at Xia Ying nervously, but she repeated it very calmly: "Lu Shijing." Suddenly, he thought again, "Is he your brother, or is he some relative of yours?" β
Lu Xiaoan felt that he had just experienced another roller coaster, with ups and downs, that is, at the moment when she spoke, her emotional points were completely controlled by her. Obviously he is an adult, even if it is still a few days away. Compared to scheming, Xia Ying is obviously not his opponent.
He said indifferently, "Well, he's my cousin." β
Immediately after that, the bell rang again.
"Why don't you pick up?" She urged, unconsciously glancing at him.
Lu Xiaoan's eyes were a little confused, and he pressed the call button, "Hey? β
"Are you coming back tonight?"
"Undecided, is there something wrong?"
There was a trace of irritability between Lu Xiaoan's eyebrows, it was usually a call from Assistant Wang, why Lu Shijing happened to be seen by Xia Ying, if he came one step late, would the two of them have a direct conversation. A person's sense of hearing becomes especially acute when he is blind, and he is not sure if he is playing with fire and setting himself on fire.
"It's your birthday today, go home for dinner, where are you, I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
"No, it's far away."
Lu Xiaoan refused without hesitation, "If there is nothing else, I will hang up the phone." β
"Wait......"
The other party shouted, but still couldn't stop Lu Xiaoan's call from ending.
Xia Ying blurted out, "It's your birthday today?" β
Toot toot.
Lu Shijing on the other end obviously heard a female voice next to Lu Xiaoan, was it his girlfriend? Her voice was slightly ...... Indescribable taste.
Lu Shijing thought that the little boy back then had also grown up, and listening to the servant, Xiao An was very tall, second only to him, and his facial features were very handsome, which should be very similar to when he was young.
Well, an eighteen-year-old boy, he's a man, and he's got a little girlfriend.
β¦β¦
Lu Xiaoan came back to his senses and nodded, "Yes, it's my birthday." β
"Then you don't have to go back to celebrate your family's birthday? I didn't delay you. β
"You're here, it's my best birthday present."
The atmosphere was quite normal, but it changed as I spoke. Xia Ying changed the subject awkwardly, "What birthday gift do you want, I'll give it to you." You can go back to Haishi later, and you can still catch dinner, if your brother prepares it for you, it won't be a disappointment to his heart. β
"You accompany me back to Haishi to see my brother."
Lu Xiaoan felt that maybe he was really playing with fire, he was using her to take risks and make temptations.
Yes, instead of keeping a time bomb, it's better to start now, spread out all the hidden dangers and release them.
"Xiao An, didn't I say it, if you want to do this again, I can't continue to meet you."
She hadn't even agreed to the relationship, and she didn't even think about it, so why did she suddenly meet her parents. And she is so much older than Lu Xiaoan, which patriarch has such a big heart and can tolerate it.
That kind of embarrassing situation, just think about it.
"Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, you are my sister who took care of me in country M, and it is my good friend, even if you don't put me in the position of the ideal boyfriend, it's always okay to go to my house to help me celebrate my birthday."
Originally, Xia Ying's willpower was very firm, but in the end, she was deceived by Lu Xiaoan, mostly out of sympathy, Lu Xiaoan was easy to pretend to be pitiful, and actually followed him to Haishi.
When I arrived at the Lu family's villa, it was already lit up at night.
Although I have reminded myself countless times, this is not to meet my parents, but I am very nervous.
"You can go in boldly, don't be afraid, you are my friend, he will not embarrass you."
Lu Xiaoan knew that the servants in the villa were all newcomers, so they shouldn't have seen Qin Simei or Huaiyin, so they naturally didn't recognize Xia Ying.
Wang Yang naturally knew him, but he was very busy, and he spent most of his time in the group day, after all, during Lu Shijing's recuperation, he was a more trustworthy person. This kind of family dinner, he will not appear.
Lu Xiaoan said that he came back for his birthday, and Lu Shijing was still very surprised.
"This villa is quite retro and elegant."
Xia Ying saw the light white and brown roof and wall from a distance, there was a very kind and comfortable feeling, walked in, and found that the trees and potted plants inside made her eyes slightly moist, is it the wind.
"Why did it stop?" Lu Xiaoan asked puzzled.
I vaguely saw her wipe her eyes, what's going on? Although Lu Xiaoan's eyes are clear, they are also sharp at the same time, and the edge is extremely well hidden.
"It's okay, I just think that the greening of your villa is very good, and the structure of the house is different from other villas."
"It was designed to my grandfather's liking. In fact, the house has been renovated for decades, do you like it? β
"It's not that I like it, I just think it's very kind."
Lu Xiaoan chuckled in his heart and joked: "It seems that you have a lot of fate with my family." β
What's the fate, it can't be that I was teased and played by this kid, Xia Ying thought strangely, but didn't show it.
"Young Master Xiao An, you're back, Mr. is waiting for you in the restaurant."
Xiao Tao greeted her happily, but her smile suddenly condensed when she fell on the beautiful woman beside Lu Xiaoan, and she didn't say a complete word for a long time, staring at her in a daze.
Young Master Xiao An actually has a girlfriend.
No, although this woman is beautiful and has white skin, she can still see that she is older than Young Master Xiao An, maybe she is a relative.
Xiao Tao forgot that she was older than Lu Xiao'an.
There is no comparison between herself and the woman brought by Lu Xiao'an, but Xiao Tao is jealous, and she finds fault with her faults and shortcomings in her heart.
Wait, why does she always think she's seen this face somewhere?
Could it be that she looks like a certain female star?
Lu Xiaoan didn't care about this little maid at all, and took Xia Ying's hand and walked in, but she didn't expect to be caught by her one step faster.
Lu Xiaoan touched his nose awkwardly and smiled.
That laugh is really laughing at yourself.
The two walked to the dining room, and sure enough, they saw a table full of dishes, a dazzling array of dishes, on the main seat, a man in a black shirt, his brown eyes were looking straight ahead, his elbows were propped up on the table, and his slender and beautiful fingers were interlaced on his angular jaw. The wings of the nose are high, the shape of the eyes is somewhat narrow, and the eyelids are ...... It seems to be somewhat similar to Lu Xiaoan.
He should be Lu Xiaoan's cousin, his appearance is simply outstanding, especially the cold and noble temperament when he doesn't squint, which can be seen at a glance. Some bangs fell on his forehead, which made him feel younger than his actual age.
The moment Xia Ying saw his face, her heartbeat crossed an extremely high frequency. Before I knew it, my head was hot, as if something was rushing up.
She stared at him intently.
All this was witnessed by Lu Xiaoan, and his inner entanglement, fear, jealousy, and other emotions piled up, turning into a decent voice: "Second brother, I brought my girlfriend here." β
"I ......" Xia Ying's first reaction was that something was wrong, and she stared at him reflexively. This is clearly different from what was said.
However, the kind of shame she had just had for landing Xiao An's brother was a nymphomaniac, which directly caused her to have no way to refute it.
Lu Xiaoan whispered in her ear to reassure: "It's a female friend, I missed a word." β
"Your words don't count." Xia Sakura frowned, and Sakura's lips curled up in anger.
"Got it, I'll explain it to my second brother."
"Lu Xiaoan, you did it on purpose, aren't you afraid that I'll leave now?"
"Good sister, please, forgive me this time. You know there's a big difference between a girlfriend and a fiancΓ©e or even a wife. β
ββ¦β¦β
The two of them talked stumblingly, and they couldn't let Lu Shijing hear clearly, but he felt that Lu Xiaoan seemed to like his little girlfriend very much, and the relationship between the two was good.
"It's time to eat, let's take a seat." He cleared his throat, interrupted the flirting between the two, and his face turned pale, as if he was a little unkind and difficult to get along with.
Xia Ying decided in her heart that she would definitely not come to his house with Lu Xiaoan because of her soft-heartedness in the future.
Lu Xiaoan intimately pulled out the seat, although he was young, the gentleman's place was very gentlemanly.
Lu Shijing instructed: "The noodles in the kitchen can come up." β
Lu Shijing on the main seat was talking, his voice was not particularly low, a little cold. Xia Ying tried not to look at him, but it seemed that as soon as he came in, he took away his attention, and she always wanted to peek at him, oops, how did she usually have her face control not so serious.
Yes, she must control herself and not embarrass Lu Xiaoan.
Anyway, she was holding Lu Xiaoan's daughter...... The identity of a friend.
It turned out to be a bowl of longevity noodles, without too many decorations and toppings, and the color was milky white.
Lu Xiaoan ate a few bites and didn't finish it.
For a boy of such a big age, naturally he didn't want a cake or anything, and the birthday dinner began.
Lu Xiaoan used chopsticks to clip this and that for her, and a small hill was piled up in Xia Ying's bowl after a while.
Knowing that her amount of food is not very good, Xia Ying feels three major pressures, and she doesn't know if she can have leftovers if she can't finish eating.
The intimate behavior of the two, to be precise, Lu Xiaoan's unilateral care for his 'girlfriend', simply shattered the heart of the maid Xiao Tao next to him, one by one, scattered into mud.
At this time, Xia Ying suddenly discovered that Lu Xiaoan's brother used a spoon to eat, and the meals in his bowl were all mixed together.
As an adult, like a child, she was a little shocked. Could it be that this is the new way of eating for the rich?
Lu Xiaoan saw her doubts, leaned over, and said to her slowly: "My second brother has been blind recently, so he is recuperating at home. β
