Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Under Yang Ming's skillful hands, delicious dishes were served on the table one after another, which made everyone in the Lou family praise them endlessly.

Lou Xiao'e was even more fascinated by him, and her admiration and love for Yang Ming became increasingly difficult to conceal.

In front of Lou Xiao'e, the delicacies were displayed like works of art. Their color, aroma and taste were amazing.

These dishes quietly appeared in her sight, like a feast carefully prepared for her. Lou Xiao'e was attracted by the charming aroma, and her eyes were shining with yearning for delicious food.

However, she was taught from childhood that she needed to be elegant and decent in public, especially in front of someone she liked. Therefore, despite her inner desire, she did not dare to pick up her chopsticks easily.

Yang Ming, who was standing by, noticed Lou Xiao'e's eyes full of desire that was hard to conceal. He thought she looked very cute at the moment, like a kitten that was curious about food.

This discovery was very interesting to him. He realized that the Lou Xiao'e in front of him was completely different from the image of her who was in direct conflict with Sha Zhu in the drama. Before she married into the Siheyuan courtyard, she had such an innocent side.

"Miss Lou," Yang Ming suddenly spoke, and he took out a small plate from behind like a magic trick. The dishes on the plate were very similar to the delicacies on the table, but the portions were much smaller.

"Could you please do me a favor and try the taste of these dishes for me?" His words were gentle and appropriate, giving Lou Xiao'e the opportunity to taste the food while cleverly maintaining her image as a lady.

Lou Xiao'e's heart was slightly moved, she knew that Yang Ming had seen through her thoughts. She did not refuse, but felt a little grateful.

So, she gently picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dishes on the plate in small bites, savoring each bite carefully, as if she was enjoying a feast for her taste buds.

Soon, she had tasted all the dishes on the plate, but she was still eager for the delicacies on the table. She looked up at Yang Ming with admiration in her eyes: "Brother Yang, your cooking skills are amazing. I must say, this is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten!"

After hearing this, Yang Ming smiled and responded, "I am really honored by Miss Lou's compliment. As a chef, it is the greatest affirmation for me to receive such an evaluation from you."

The meal ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Although Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Ming frequently during the meal, her eyes were full of appreciation and admiration, which also attracted the attention of others present.

However, everyone could feel the tacit understanding and affinity between the two.

Lou Bancheng and his mother were especially delighted to see their daughter fall in love with Yang Ming. They believed that Yang Ming was not only talented and had a promising future, but also highly appreciated by the leaders. It would be a great story for him to marry their daughter.

Lou Bancheng clearly sensed the subtle changes in the family atmosphere, and this change brought him heavy pressure. He knew very well that he did not want his precious daughter to be involved in this unnecessary dispute.

However, whenever he thought of Yang Ming's background, Lou Bancheng couldn't hide his inner sigh. This young talent was already a man with a family, more specifically, he was already the father of three children.

In the past, Lou Bancheng did not have much aversion to men marrying wives and concubines.

In the years before liberation, he himself had several partners and even a mistress.

But with the changes of the times, the liberation of the old city and the popularization of monogamy, he had to peacefully end his relationships with those partners and arrange their subsequent lives.

At this moment, Lou Bancheng lives with his mother and daughter Lou Xiao'e.

After Yang Ming and Director Yang left, Lou's mother walked into her daughter's bedroom and asked softly, "Er, tell me, do you have any special feelings for Yang Ming?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her cheeks flushed instantly. She shyly retorted: "Mom, what are you talking about? I just like the dishes cooked by Brother Yang."

Mother Lou looked at her daughter's slightly shy expression and sighed softly, "I raised you by myself, how could I not see your little thoughts? Our Xiao'e is also at the age where she should consider her lifelong affairs."

"Yang Ming is indeed a good kid. Logically, he is a good match for our Lou family's daughter." Mother Lou changed the subject, with a hint of helplessness, "But..."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but ask, "Mom, but what?" Looking at her daughter's anxious eyes, Lou's mother was also filled with mixed emotions. She didn't want to hurt her daughter's feelings, but she didn't want her to suffer in the future.

So, she gently stroked her daughter's hair and said slowly: "Xiao'e, I didn't want to mention this matter, for fear that you would be sad. But I can see that you really like Yang Ming, so instead of letting you suffer after knowing the truth in the future, it is better to give up this thought now."

An ominous premonition surged in Lou Xiao'e's heart. She looked at her mother with a pale face, as if she was afraid to hear the secret that was about to be revealed.

Lou's mother knew what impact her words would have on her daughter, but she still hardened her heart.

Lai: "Xiao'e, Yang Ming already has a family with many children. He is not someone you can trust for life."

The moment she heard those words, Lou Xiao'e's heart seemed to be deeply cut by a sharp blade, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

She shook her head involuntarily, her voice trembling: "Mother, I...I can't accept it, how is this possible..."

However, Lou's mother just sighed deeply and didn't say much. She slowly stood up, as if she wanted to give her daughter some time to face and digest the situation alone.

But when she saw Lou Xiao'e lying on the head of the bed, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, an indescribable pity welled up in Lou's mother's heart.

She sighed softly: "It seems that it is time to find a suitable home for Xiao'e, so that she can forget this hopeless bond. If this matter is delayed any further, it will probably only become a scar in her heart that will never heal~."

At the same time, in the courtyard.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu returned to their home, one after the other, in a somewhat embarrassed state. They both seemed determined to bury the embarrassment and humiliation they had encountered today deep in their hearts.

After all, apart from them, Yang Ming was the only one who knew about what happened at the Lou family today. As long as they kept their mouths shut, Yang Ming would not leak the matter.

However, after Xu Damao returned home, Lou Xiao'e's charming face lingered in his mind. He hurriedly found his parents and expressed his desire to have a blind date with Lou Xiao'e.
