Tian Mingfang was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She checked with the waiter again and got the same answer. The people who were eating together did not leave. When they heard this, they came up and said all kinds of good things, praising Ji Liang and Tian Mingfang, which made Tian Mingfang earn enough face.

Tian Mingfang was too embarrassed not to pay. How could she dare to come again next time after eating for free once? She said she wanted to pay, but the waiter didn't dare to accept it. At this time, Ji Liang also came over and said to Tian Mingfang with a smile,

"You're welcome, Aunt Fang. Just consider it as my treat. Thank you for bringing people here to show your support."

"You're being polite. Your shop requires reservations. I heard from Xia Xia that all the reservations are up to next month. You must have made time to entertain us."

Saying this not only told Ji Liang that he knew and appreciated his kindness, but also told the people around him that this store was indeed very good.

After hearing this, the people around thought about the meal and felt that tonight's meal was even more delicious.

Finally, at Tian Mingfang's insistence, Ji Liang gave them a discount. After all, there were many people at the party and the meal cost more than a thousand yuan. Tian Mingfang was really embarrassed to just waive the bill.

The idea of ​​a dinner party is that everyone pays for their own share, and now that more than half the money is missing, no one has any objections, and tonight’s dining experience was indeed very good.

Ji Liang followed the crowd and saw them off. Xiang Sixia also walked at the end of the crowd, and the two of them were almost walking side by side.

Ji Liang looked at the person who had been silent from the beginning. He took a step closer and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,

"Are you satisfied with tonight's food?"

Xiang Sixia was very sensitive to Ji Liang's actions tonight. When he approached her, she was already tense. When she heard his question, she didn't react in the first second.

“…Mm, delicious.”

Ji Liang smiled.

"Last time you said the fried shrimp was too oily, so I tried it out and made some special preparations this time. Do you think it tastes better?"

"Yes, the shrimp shells are very crispy, the shrimp are very flavorful but not greasy at all, I ate several and didn't feel sick."

Talking about these simple topics, Xiang Sixia felt a little more relaxed.

Ji Liang looked at her with a smile.

"That's good. It seems that my efforts have not been in vain."

Xiang Sixia always felt that these words were a bit strange. It might be that her mind was not pure and she was thinking too much.

"Xia Xia."

"Hmm?" Xiang Sixia looked up at him.

Ji Liang asked her with the same expression as before,

"Have you made any new friends recently?"

Seeing Xiang Sixia looking at him with doubt, Ji Liang continued to ask,

"Auntie Fang just mentioned that designer, do you guys chat with him often?"

Xiang Sixia turned his eyes to the side.

"Not very often. I just asked him about his work. And coincidentally, we graduated from the same school."

"it is good"

Good? What's good? What does it mean? The phone in his hand vibrated and the screen lit up. Xiang Sixia took a look and saw that it was a message from Zhuang Shaoting.

Somehow, she suddenly felt a little guilty, so she pressed a button to turn off the screen of her phone and put her arms behind her back.

Ji Liang looked at her movements and expressions and said,

"him?"

"......Um."

Tian Mingfang was saying goodbye to her friends when two taxis arrived. Xiang Sixia heard her mother calling her. She replied, "I'll be there soon," and said to the person in front of her,

"Brother Ji Liang, go back. We are leaving first."

"Well, drive slower."

On the way back, Xiang Sixia drove, Tian Mingfang and Chen Mei sat in the back seat chatting, and Xiang Sixia also joined in the conversation from time to time. The atmosphere was very good along the way.

After sending Aunt Chen and my mother home, Xiang Sixia said goodbye to his father and went back.

Tian Mingfang sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking about the interaction between her daughter and Ji Liang just now, sitting quietly and thinking back. Father Xiang came in from the yard and saw his wife sitting on the sofa with a worried look on her face. He walked over and

"what happened?"

Xiang Ma shook her head, looked at the gloves in his hand, and asked him,

"What did you do?"

"I cut a few roses to bring back to Xia Xia. It's too dark now, and I won't get pricked if I wear gloves."

"Then have you wrapped the flowers? It's so dark, what if Xia Xia doesn't see the thorns and gets pricked?"

Father Xiang said confidently,

"Why didn't I think of that? I cut off the thorns and wrapped it in old newspaper before giving it to her."

"Well, that's fine." After saying that, he pushed Xiang's father again, "Put your gloves back quickly and wash your hands. I want to tell you something later."

Father Xiang murmured, "What's so mysterious?", took off his gloves, put the two gloves together, held them in his hands and walked towards the tool room.

Tian Mingfang also quickly finished washing up and returned to the room. Father Xiang was wearing reading glasses and reading a book. He looked up at his wife and asked,

"You came back from dinner looking worried, what's wrong?"

Tian Mingfang sat by the bed, applied the hand cream her daughter had bought for her from abroad, and talked about tonight's party.

"I didn't notice anything strange about the interaction between Ji Liang and Xia Xia in the private room, but just now in the private kitchen yard, I turned around and saw the two of them talking. There was an inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them standing there, and Xia Xia seemed a little shy."

"Could you have seen it wrong? For so many years, Xia Xia has called Ji Liang brother, and Ji Liang also seems to treat Xia Xia as a sister."

It gets dark early in winter, and the lights in the private kitchen yard are not very bright. After hearing what her husband said, Tian Mingfang was a little suspicious whether it was because of the lights or she had seen it wrong. However, thinking back to the scene at that time, her daughter and Ji Liang did look very compatible.

Father Xiang turned a page of the book he had just finished reading, adjusted his reading glasses, and continued,

"We've known each other for so many years. Think about how Xia Xia and Ji Liang get along. It seems like there's no feeling between them at all. If there was any, it would have happened a long time ago."

"I think so too."

"So, don't think too much about it. What if you end up making things worse and Ji Liang and Si Yuan feel awkward being friends?"

Mother Xiang thought about it and nodded.

"What you said makes some sense, so let's just ignore it for now."

Father Xiang smiled.

"You talk as if they will listen to you. We are old now, they have their own ideas, and they are not children anymore."

Tian Mingfang was not annoyed when she heard this, but she felt a little emotional.

"Yeah, it's like all of a sudden, my sons are all married and have kids, and Xia Xia is this old now."

"Don't worry so much. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Otherwise, when Mr. Xiang and Mr. Li are enemies, they both comfort their spouses in this way.

Xiang Sixia couldn't sleep after she went back home. All she could think about was what happened tonight. So she sent a message to Li Yin, and after receiving Li Yin's reply, she went upstairs wearing a thick coat.

Leaning on the familiar sofa, Xiang Sixia looked at the ceiling and said lazily,

"Yinyin, what do you think I should do?"

Li Yin was drinking milk coffee and replying to her while looking at her phone.

"You didn't think clearly last time, why are you troubled now?"
