Chapter 36
Not long after the Xu couple left, they returned.
"Okay, dinner is almost ready, let's come to the restaurant for dinner." Mother Xu greeted the four of them.
At the dinner table, Xu and his wife sat at the main table, Yi Fan and Xu Mengmeng sat at the lower left of them, Xu Weili and Liu Ruolin sat at their lower right.
Not long after the meal, the members of the Xu family discovered that the legendary heir of the Stuart family was not that difficult to get along with.
Ivan's movements with chopsticks are elegant and slow, and he will pick up vegetables for Xu Mengmeng from time to time.
Xu Mengmeng was a little unaccustomed to taking care of Ivan a few days ago, but she gradually became more at ease.
The explanation she gave herself was: Ivan received a noble education since he was a child, so of course he has a gentlemanly demeanor.
Ivan will also politely answer questions from the Xu family.
Of course, Liu Ruolin's tension has also decreased a lot.
"Master Stuart, can I also call you Ivan?" Liu Ruolin, who had relieved her tension, looked at Ivan timidly and said.
"...Yes." Ivan froze for a moment, then nodded lightly.
"Yes, Ruolin, we will be a family soon, you don't have to be so particular." Xu Weili turned his head and said straightforwardly.
"...Yes." Liu Ruolin answered with her head slightly lowered, as if shy.
After a while...
"Master Ivan, try this sliced lotus root, it's delicious." Liu Ruolin stood up, picked up two slices of lotus root with a pair of clean chopsticks, and put them on the small plate in front of Ivan.
"……thanks."
Ivan stared at the two slices of lotus root on the plate with frowned eyebrows, thanked him lightly, and then continued to pick up the pickled meat with preserved vegetables in the distance for Xu Mengmeng, without reaching out his chopsticks to touch the two slices of lotus root.
Liu Ruolin's face was awkward for a moment.
"Sister Liu, Ivan is a bit picky eater, don't worry about him, you can eat by yourself." Xu Mengmeng hurried out to smooth things over.
"Well. I understand."
The embarrassment at that moment has disappeared from Liu Ruolin's face, replaced by a gentle smile.
Another moment passed...
"Ivan, next Saturday, there will be my piano performance in the auditorium of Pace University. I would like to invite you to watch it." Liu Ruolin raised her head and said with a smile.
Ivan calmly dug a spoonful of Kung Pao chicken into his bowl, and then slowly picked the chicken into Xu Mengmeng's bowl.
This is the tacit understanding that the two have developed in the past few days: Ivan is picky eaters, and Xu Mengmeng is not picky eaters. Therefore, in order not to waste things that Ivan doesn't like, Xu Mengmeng accepts them.
The two thought it was nothing, but it was different in the eyes of others.
Xu Weili and Xu's father lamented: What a picky eater, what a picky eater.
Mother Xu sighed: The relationship between the young couple is really good.
Liu Ruolin: So he likes radish and peanuts.
"I have an appointment with Mengmeng next Saturday." After finishing all this, Ivan said calmly.
"what?!"
"what?!"
This time, not only Liu Ruolin was surprised, but Xu Mengmeng was also surprised.
When did I have a date with you?Xu Mengmeng turned her head and asked Ivan with her eyes.
"Is that date important? Can you reschedule it?" Liu Ruolin's smile was a little stiff.
"Well, it's very important." Ivan said lightly.
"Oh, that's the next time. Master Ivan must come next time. And Mengmeng, come together." Liu Ruolin seemed to think of Xu Mengmeng only now, and looked at Xu Mengmeng with a smile.
"Yeah." Xu Mengmeng suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and nodded.
After a while again...
"Ivan, I major in economics and management. I wonder if I can do an internship in the Stuart family business." Liu Ruolin continued her efforts and looked at Ivan expectantly.
