“Then I shall give you a rose as a reward tonight . ” Yan Rusheng grinned as he glanced at Xuxu and Jiang Qinglian .

Jiang Qinglian watched Xuxu as she was about to drink the soup . Her eyes were swirling with complex emotions .
Suspicion flashed across Yan Rusheng’s eyes as he tried to suppress his nervousness . He was also intently watching Xuxu as she was about to drink the soup .
Yan Rusheng’s expression hardened .
Just when he was about to stop her from drinking, Jiang Qinglian suddenly stretched her hand and snatched the container from Xuxu .
Jiang Qinglian’s sudden action shocked Xuxu . She stared Jiang Qinglian and was beyond confused .
Jiang Qinglian wore a smile to conceal her emotions . “Xuxu, mine’s freshly boiled, so it should be warmer . You should drink mine . ”

Then she passed her portion to Xuxu .
Xuxu was still a little dazed that she couldn’t react . After a while, she nodded . “Okay . ”
She received the boiled pear soup from Jiang Qinglian and opened the cover .
However, Yan Rusheng suddenly extended his hand and snatched it from her . “I’m dying of thirst . Let me drink it . ”
He tilted his head and drank more than half of the soup in no time . Then he glanced at Jiang Qinglian with a meaningful smile . “First Aunt, this soup is really sweet . ”
Jiang Qinglian’s hand badly trembled . She lowered her head, fearing that she might meet Yan Rusheng’s eyes .

His eyes were too shrewd-looking, and if their eyes would meet, she feared that he might see through her .
“If I’ve known earlier, I would have bought extra portions . ” Jiang Qinglian smiled rather awkwardly .
“You don’t usually like these soups and you still want to snatch mine . ” Xuxu raised her voice and took it back from Yan Rusheng . She drank from the container .
Yan Rusheng gave her a deep look, while the smile on his face became more baffling and thought-provoking .
During dinner, one of them was distracted while the other was silent . Only Xuxu was acting normally as she kept the conversation going .
They didn’t have any drinks so dinner ended quickly .
It was still dinner time when they left their room, and many customers still crowded the lobby . There was an impressive-looking fountain in the middle of the lobby with a fake hill and stream .
They reached the entrance and Yan Rusheng told Xuxu, “It’s windy outside . Wait here for me with First Aunt . I’ll drive the car over . ”
“Third Yan . ”
Xuxu was about to say that it was too troublesome when a voice, which belonged to an old man, called out for Yan Rusheng .
Yan Rusheng and Xuxu heard the voice and turned around .
A group of people was headed in their direction, and seeing them made both Yan Rusheng and Jiang Qinglian surprised . Only Xuxu knew that Jiang Zhuoheng’s family was having dinner there .
“Grandfather Jiang . ” Yan Rusheng bowed when he saw Old Master Jiang .
Then he nodded at Jiang Zhuoheng’s parents .
Xuxu followed closely behind Yan Rusheng and politely greeted the Jiang family members one by one . Her intelligence, wisdom, gentleness, and tenacity were what they had always admired and looked for in their prospective granddaughter-in-law .
Every now and then, whenever Old Master Jiang stumbled upon Xuxu, his murky-looking eyes would show a subtle trace of regret and pity .
He strolled to Xuxu . He pretended to lecture her . “Xuxu, how long has it been since we last met? Why didn’t you come and visit me?”
Xuxu smiled . “Your two granddaughters are back, I’m sure you don’t need me anymore . ”
