Guan Hong smiled and shook her head.

"It's okay, I'm just happy to see you guys."

Last time at the teahouse, we also talked about when to tell Li Yin about her father. This is a happy thing and there is no need to hide it, so we finally agreed to find a time to get together in a couple of days and then talk about it.

Li Yin didn't think much about it.

"Mom, I'm happy now. I'll be in front of you every day from now on."

Guan Hong really loves Li Yin's cheerful personality, and she also feels that An An's personality is probably inherited from her, being extroverted, confident, cheerful and cute.

Guan Hong's face was filled with a loving smile and she patted Li Yin's hand. She knew it was just a joke, but she loved to hear it.

The time for the gathering was quickly set, and the location was Ji Liang’s private kitchen - Youran Zhuang.

When Ji Liang received the call from Xiang's mother, he was making desserts in the kitchen, and sitting opposite him was Xiang Sixia who was watching a TV series.

"Aunt Fang, hello."

When Xiang Sixia heard this name, he immediately turned down the volume of the TV series and looked at Ji Liang with surprise and caution.

Ji Liang looked at her and answered the call.

"Okay, the night after tomorrow, right? There's room."

After Ji Liang said "hmm" several times, Xiang Sixia finally heard him say, "Okay, goodbye Aunt Fang."

As soon as Ji Liang hung up the phone, Xiang Sixia came up to him and asked nervously,

"Brother Ji Liang, what did my mother say?"

"Auntie needs to reserve a table. Your family will have a dinner party the day after tomorrow."

"Dinner party? Why didn't my mom tell me?"

Ji Liang washed his hands in the sink next to him and asked while taking off his apron,

"Xia Xia, when are we going to tell our aunt and uncle about our situation?"

Xiang Sixia looked at Ji Liang who walked in front of her. She was a little embarrassed to look into his eyes, so she turned her gaze to the buttons on his chef's uniform.

"Ah...wait a minute, I don't know what to say."

Ji Liang looked at her expression, smiled and took her hand.

"it is good."

Then he picked up the freshly made dessert on the table with his other hand and walked out taking Xiang Sixia’s hand.

When Ji Liang and Xiang Sixia disappeared behind the kitchen curtain, the other two people standing in the kitchen immediately crowded together and started gossiping.

"Lao Gao, I came here two years ago and never saw the boss dating. I didn't expect the boss to date like this."

Lao Gao nodded repeatedly.

"Forget about dating. I've never seen a woman around him."

"Yeah, Lao Gao, you see, our Chinese restaurant boss has started researching desserts. I think the one he just made is pretty good."

Lao Gao nodded again.

"Looks like we're going to have a boss lady."

The future proprietress Xiang Sixia was brought by Ji Liang to a small private room. Outside the window of the room was a yard. Two Bauhinia trees in the yard were close to the windowsill of the room, so close that one could pick one with just one hand.

Every spring, Bauhinias bloom, and the pink and white petals cover the branches. The pink and white scenery can rival the cherry blossoms.

At this time of year, many people come to the yard to check in and take photos. When the flowers are in full bloom, this box is almost always booked by couples.

Now, the Bauhinia is in full bloom, and this box today was specially reserved by Ji Liang for Xiang Sixia.

Xiang Sixia stood by the window, reached out and touched the pink and white petals.

The evening wind blew, blowing the petals everywhere, landing in the box, on the windowsill, and in Xiang Sixia's outstretched hands.

"Brother Jiliang, look, it's so beautiful."

Another gust of wind blew gently, Xiang Sixia smiled brightly, and petals were flying behind her.

Ji Liang's heart moved, and he walked up to Xiang Sixia, looking into her smiling eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly profound.

Xiang Sixia also felt an inexplicable and somewhat anxious atmosphere. Is this... a kiss?

The two had been together for less than a week, and the most intimate actions they had taken were holding hands and hugging, but with the person he liked right in front of him, he couldn't hold back much longer.

Ji Liang lowered his head and moved closer. Xiang Sixia just stared at him steadily. She saw his eyes lowered to look at her lips, and then raised his gaze to meet hers.

Xiang Sixia held her breath unconsciously, and only heard Ji Liang looking at her and saying,

"Xia Xia..."

As the voice fell, Xiang Sixia felt a soft touch on her lips. Her hands immediately grabbed the clothes of the person in front of her, and her heart was pounding.

"Xia Xia, breathe, open your mouth."

Xiang Sixia, who was already a little dazed, listened to the man's low, damp voice. With every instruction and every action, he was immediately conquered by gentleness, domineering, affection, and soft soothing.

Xiang Sixia's hands had already been around Ji Liang's neck without her knowing. After the kiss, she buried her head in Ji Liang's neck, breathing slightly.

-

On the day of the party, every family came out with their entire family.

After Guan Hong and Li Yin recognized each other and addressed each other as mother and son, the younger generations of the Xiang and Li families also knew about it.

After all, Guan Hong is close to them, and everyone will inevitably hear when Li Yin calls Guan Hong mom or An An calls her grandma. Telling it directly will save them the trouble of explaining it to everyone one by one. Besides, it's not something that can't be said.

When Xiang Sizhou and his wife first heard it, they were very surprised. Li Feng, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm and responded lightly,

"Well, I understand." Then he said the second sentence.

"No matter what, Yinyin will always be my sister." And then nothing happened.

Li's father, mother and Li Yin just assumed that he was used to being calm and didn't think much of him.

Today is another family recognition event, so everyone just went out and took this opportunity to get together and recognize some people.

Xiang Sixia took his second brother's family's car to the private kitchen.

Li Yin looked at her friend who was sitting in the back seat and talking to An An, and realized that she had not told her parents about this yet.

As an insider, she felt that it would be very interesting just to watch the interaction between Xiang Sixia and Ji Liang in front of their parents tonight. She even felt a little excited when thinking about it.

So she smiled and asked,

"Xia Xia, how do you feel now?"

Xiang Sixia knew what her friend was thinking from her expression, and responded helplessly.

"Don't tease me, I'm nervous."

Xiang Siyuan was driving, and when he heard his sister's words, he asked her,

"What are you hesitating about? Is it Ji Liang who doesn't want to make it public?"

"No, I haven't thought about it yet. I want to find a time to talk about it."

Xiang Siyuan controlled the steering wheel with ease and joked with Xiang Sixia.

"Maybe my parents will find out tonight."

Thinking about that scene, Xiang Sixia felt a little panicked but also inexplicably a little expectant.

"Probably not. I'll pay attention."

-

When they arrived at the box, the Huo family was already sitting there: Huo Zhengming and his wife, Huo Zhixin and his wife, and their two children.

Li Yin was walking in the front and saw the people inside first. Why were they from the Huo family? Did I go the wrong way?

She took a step back in confusion and looked at the sign outside the door - "Guyu". Yes, it was this box.

She was about to confirm the name of the box with Xiang Siyuan behind her when she heard the oldest person speak.

"That's right, it's here."

The Huo family members had already stood up. Huo Zhixin took over his father's words.

"Li Yin, hello, today is our family gathering, and we...have some things to clarify."

Of course Li Yin remembered them. An An, who was standing behind the adults, also saw the people in the box. He said in surprise,

"Big Bear, why are you here?"

Huo Ruijie was standing next to his father and secretly looking at An An. When he heard An An calling him, he immediately thought of the fight that happened. He cried miserably and now he felt ashamed when he thought about it.

But thinking that An An was his younger brother, his tone of rebuttal became gentle.

"An An, my name is not Da Xiong, my name is Huo Ruijie."

An An nodded.

"Yeah, I know, Big Bear."
