With a playful look on her face, Michelle covered Chester's eyes.

He was too young to see or hear such mature exchanges.

"How's the sound insulation in your bedroom?" Michelle asked.

They looked at John as he carried Nina into the bedroom.

Adrian smiled, "Very, very good."

"Great. We have nothing to worry about then." Michelle breathed a sigh of relief and took her hands off Chester's eyes.

Without waiting for John and Nina to join them, they started eating. Thankfully, as they were enjoying the hot pot, they did not hear any sound coming from the bedroom.

James commented, "Adrian, why did you soundproof your bedroom?"

Henry almost choked on his food while Adrian turned his head at James. Henry raised a fist to his lips and coughed. He glanced at Adrian, telling him with his eyes not to say anything stupid.

No one knew about Henry and Adrian's relationship except for John and Nina.

Adrian understood and answered, "I'm afraid of disturbing others."

"Afraid of disturbing others? Why? That's even stranger.

What could you possibly do to disturb others?" James asked.

"Just pay more attention to your girlfriend, James," Henry interjected, trying to shift James' attention.

Emma lifted her head and smiled. "I'm fine. You guys just talk. The three of us can continue eating."

"That's right. Talk more." Michelle picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and tossed it into the h

nd challenge her worth. However, Emma had been a straight-A student since she started studying. She did not have that many friends, but she did not offend anyone, so everyone could only talk about her family background.

When James came across the news articles, he was so furious. "How dare these people speak ill of my fiancee? I will destroy them," he grumbled.

Even James' mother, Angela, announced, "They can only decide whether my future daughter-in-law is worthy of my son or not when they fill my shoes. Otherwise, they should all just shut up."

Emma turned into a celebrity. Wherever she went, people followed and blessings flowed, rendering her a little dizzy and overwhelmed.

She had never been so happy in her entire life.

When the Ye family received the invitation to James and Emma's engagement party, Julie went to speak to her daughter. "This is your chance, Vivi. You haven't been able to get close to Mr. Shi. You must get close to him at the engagement party. This time, we will act according to plan, do you understand?"

"Yes, Mom," Vivian replied. "Recently, I've learned a lot about seduction and manipulation according to your requirements. I won't let you down."

"Silly girl, don't worry about letting me down. Just do your best to satisfy Mr. Shi and ensnare him. You can't disappoint him this time, do you understand?" Julie patted the back of her daughter's hand and smiled meaningfully.
