The dinner was extremely scrumptious with all sorts of delicacies laid out . Because there were so many people, the dining table was extended out to a really long length .
On Shi Guang’s right was Lu Yanchen, and on her left was Shen Lingshuang, who was extremely passionate and bringing food for her constantly, from prawns to crabs and the likes .
The women were all rather comfortable as they would chat with one another occasionally . However, the men of the Lus were really quiet when they had their meals . Not only that, all of them sat upright like an oak tree .
It was the same for Big Uncle Lu’s family . All of this was probably due to the influence of the Old Master Lu who was from the Red Army . Thus, his descendants were all indoctrinated with the remnants of his military teachings .
Shi Guang was really upright in her posture as well, and was thus teased by Big Auntie Lu .
“I noticed that Shi Guang’s sitting posture looks as though she was from the military . She really IS like one of ours . ”
Practically everyone shifted their gazes over at her immediately .
Shi Guang was instantly embarrassed, so shy that she did not even dare to move her chopsticks anymore . “…”
Perhaps due to the fact that she was an athlete, she had always been sitting really straight and upright since she was young . That posture extended to the way she walked as well, and indeed, there were some similarities between that and a soldier .
Lu Yanchen diffused the situation for her and took some food for her . “Eat this!”
Chief Lu looked at Shi Guang’s perfect sitting posture and found it really pleasing to his eyes . Suddenly, he just had this feeling that this girl was almost like a daughter-in-law tailored just for their family .
If not because of… Hais, forget it! Now that things had already come to this, it was better not to talk about some things .
Seated opposite Shi Guang was Lu Yanchen’s 3rd brother, Lu Huainan, and Yan Miaoke . For the entire time, that couple said nothing and ate very little, merely listening to everyone . Even the way they interacted as a couple was really stiff .
Shi Guang was a little curious .
She had clearly remembered Wang Caichun telling her that this couple was well known in the circle to be an ideal couple . But, why were they giving off the feeling as though they were really distant?
Rome wasn’t built in a single day . It seemed as though the way they were behaving wasn’t something that had begun overnight .
As though she had sensed Shi Guang’s gaze, Yan Miaoke raised her head and looked over .
It was an icy cold gaze that seemed as though it was an ice arrow being shot over, exuding a spine-chilling coldness .
Shi Guang could not help but freeze momentarily . Lu Yanchen, who was beside her, had caught sight of it as well and instantly felt some displeasure .
Seated beside Lu Yanchen was the 2nd son of the Lus—Lu Ximo . He had seen everything that was going on .
Afraid that Lu Yanchen might brood into a cold rage, he put his chopsticks down and said in a soft voice to Lu Yanchen, “Alright, don’t give that cold face now . It’s clear that Chief Lu has already accepted your wife, but he’s just finding it hard to put down his image . You should try to understand him as well . ”
Lu Yanchen looked at him then continued with his meal . Naturally, he understood the meaning of his 2nd brother’s words . No matter how displeased he was, be it with Father Lu or Yan Miaoke, he would have to hold it in . Otherwise, his wife would be the one on the receiving end of the stick .
To begin with, he had not contemplated on doing anything either .
By the time everyone was done with their dinner, the skies were already dark . Because the table’s diners were all busy people, more than half of them left after the meal .
With the other relatives gone, the only people remaining were those of the Lus .
Shen Lingshuang looked at Shi Guang . “Littly, how about staying the night to rest? You can leave tomorrow . ”
After overhearing grandma addressing Shi Guang as Littly that day at the hospital, Shen Lingshuang took to use that name with her as well .
Shi Guang was alright with everything—Lu Yanchen was the problem .
He looked at this well-behaved Shi Guang and then looked over at Chief Lu who had called her a vixen earlier on, claiming that he would never ever let her into the family . Thus, he went silent for a moment, then spoke to Shen Lingshuang, “Go get the box from the cabinet beside your bed . ”
