Xia Nuannuan looked at the couple standing before her and fell silent.

She knew Dad and Mum had led dignified lives. They didn’t wish for others to make a joke out of them, thinking that they couldn’t even afford giving their daughter a decent dowry.

She took a deep breath and bit her lip. “Dad, Mom, why don’t you come to Beijing with me?”

Upon hearing this, Dad Xia and Mom Xia exchanged a look and shook their heads simultaneously. “No, we won’t. We’ve lived here all our lives and are used to it. We won’t go.”

Before Xia Nuannuan could speak further, they heard a sound outside. Obviously, Shen Zihao was up.

The three of them immediately hushed up.

At noon, Qiao Lian, Shen Liangchuan and Xia Yehua came to the Xia’s home for lunch.

It was their way of hosting their guests from out of town and, at the same time, Xia Nuannuan’s uncle also came along to greet them.

Xia Yehua was an easy person to get along with. The families chatted happily, it was a satisfying meal indeed.

After lunch, they sat around having tea and talking some more.

Xia Nuannuan’s cousin was a lively 18-year-old boy. Giving Shen Zihao a wink, he asked, “Brother-in-law, how did you snag my sister?”

Shen Zihao was taken by surprise.

Xia Nuannuan immediately blushed.

Her cousin continued, “My sister was the beauty of our hometown since a young age. The number of people who tried to date her would form a queue that took up the length of the street. But she had never had a boyfriend. So how did you manage to capture her heart?”

Shen Zihao raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Nuannuan.

She was certainly a leggy fair beauty and, on top of this, she had a gentle temperament. Basically, any man would find her charm quite irresistible.

He still remembered the time at Glitter Bar, when a man had tried to force himself on her.

When Shen Zihao looked at her, she was embarrassed and chided her cousin, “Stop speaking nonsense!”

But her cousin was keen to stir the atmosphere and persisted, “Sister, why don’t you let me speak? Unless... you were the one who went after Brother-in-law?”

Xia Nuannuan turned red at his remark.

Wasn’t she the one who had liked him first?

She bit her lip and was about to say something, when Shen Zihao interrupted, “I was the one who went after her.”

Xia Nuannuan gave Shen Zihao a strange look.

He continued, “The first time I saw her, I felt that she was different, so I went after her.”

“Oh? How do you go after a girl? Did you ask her out for a movie? What sort of movie?”

Shen Zihao paused.

The cousin continued asking, “What was the first meal that you bought her?”

Shen Zihao pursed his lips.

The cousin persevered, “How did you propose to her? Was it very romantic?”

Shen Zihao coughed once.

The cousin widened his eyes and looked at them intently. “Speak up.”

“Well...” Shen Zihao dragged the word and saw that Xia Nuannuan had turned scarlet with anxiety. He then said, “This is a secret. If this secret gets out and a line of suitors form on the streets to try to win your sister’s heart, then what would I do?

Cousin: ...

Xia Nuannuan was speechless.

On the side, Qiao Lian was snacking melon seeds and watching the scene unfold. When she heard this remark, she choked on the snack and started to cough violently.

Shen Liangchuan reached out and gave her a couple of pats on the back.

She couldn’t help looking back at him and giving him a glance. She then laughed and said in a low voice, “I thought that Shen Zihao was an honest boy. I couldn’t have imagined that he’s just like his brother!”
