Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Xia Guiying happened to finish washing up and came out at that moment. She was also amazed when she saw Mu Tiantian.

She laughed and said, "Ruohan, my fashion sense is pretty good. This dress suits you very well."

Knitted dresses are very warm, so you don't need to wear a coat indoors.

Mu Tiantian also thought her mother had great taste in clothes, and nodded, "It suits me very well, I like it."

"I'm so happy you like Mom." Xia Guiying went over, took Mu Tiantian's hand, and said to Ling Jieyu on the sofa, "Ayu, let's go eat."

It seems like Ah Yu is completely smitten!

With such a beautiful and sweet daughter, Ah Yu will surely fall for her gradually.

Qin Dongyang helped Old Master Qin from the study to the living room. Noticing Ling Jieyu's stunned reaction, the two were secretly delighted. Qin Dongyang couldn't help but tease, "Our Ruohan looks as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven with just a little makeup. Ayu's eyes are wide open."

Grandpa Qin chimed in, "That's right! Our Ruohan is so beautiful, even prettier than a female celebrity. It would be a shame if Ayu didn't like her... Hehe!"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the end.

Ling Jieyu then snapped out of his daze and forced an awkward, fake smile.

I wanted to deny it, but I felt it was unnecessary.

He stood up, shrugged, and looked at Mu Tiantian, praising her honestly, "It definitely looks good. This color suits you very well."

The question of Secretary Lin's divination came back to his mind.

These days, the question of whether he will eventually fall in love with Mu Tiantian keeps bothering him.

However, Mu Tiantian became very depressed because of the little girl's death. For the past two weeks, he has come to visit her every night, and she has been lying quietly in the hospital bed sleeping.

He was too lazy to bother her, so he didn't have much of a chance to flirt with her.

What he feared most was that he would be flirted with by Mu Tiantian before he even had a chance to flirt with her.

The thought of this problem makes me feel a bit irritable.

Let a carefree attitude develop naturally.

He changed the subject, saying, "Everything's washed, let's eat."

He had been a frequent visitor to the Qin family's home before and was quite familiar with them, so he was neither reserved nor polite, and strode ahead into the restaurant.

Qin Dongyang and the other two liked Ling Jieyu and treated the Qin family as their own.

We'll all be family sooner or later anyway!

Xia Guiying pulled Mu Tiantian into the restaurant, deliberately placing her opposite Ling Jieyu and pressing Mu Tiantian to sit down, while she herself sat down in the seat next to her.

Qin Dongyang and Old Master Qin sat down side by side on the other side.

Mu Tiantian felt a little disgusted, but also guilty.

Her parents and grandfather had finally reunited with her, and she couldn't harbor such resentment.

She forced a stiff smile, took the meal the maid had served, and was about to pick up her chopsticks when Xia Guiying picked them up first, helping her with food while saying, "Ruohan, you've lost weight while you were sick. You need to eat more to make up for it. Don't believe what you read online. A girl is lucky if she's a little chubby..."

Grandpa Qin chimed in, "Yes, Ruohan should eat more. As long as she's healthy, it doesn't matter if she gains a little weight."

Qin Dongyang glanced at Ling Jieyu across from him with an ambiguous look, too lazy to be subtle, and said directly with a smile, "Ayu, if Ruohan gains weight, you can't complain about her being fat."

Ling Jieyu didn't care about the weight issue. For him, appearance wasn't that important. In the past, he dated girlfriends based on feeling. He smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, how could I dare to complain?"

The rice was all served. Xia Guiying picked up the bowl and could see that Mu Tiantian was uncomfortable. Seeing that things were going well, she stopped and reminded Qin Dongyang, "Alright, alright, hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."

-

The atmosphere was fairly warm throughout the meal.

Although Grandpa Qin was a chatterbox, he didn't have the bad habit of talking too much while eating. After agreeing with him for a couple of minutes at the beginning, he stopped talking and just kept urging Mu Tiantian to put food on his plate.

Qin Dongyang was the same.

Mu Tiantian was always afraid of this excessive enthusiasm, but she couldn't refuse it.

The food was delicious. She had been eating very bland food for the past two weeks in the hospital, so she ate to her heart's content, which greatly satisfied her taste buds.

After the meal, I ate too much and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

Xia Guiying noticed this and reminded Ling Jieyu, "Ayu, Ruohan seems to have eaten too much. Why don't you take her out for a drive to digest, or to see a movie and sing a couple of songs..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the clock on the living room wall. It was 9:30 p.m., a perfect time for couples to go on a date.

Qin Dongyang gave Xia Guiying an appreciative look. His wife was really something, knowing to seize this opportune moment to create an opportunity for Ayu.

Her gaze shifted to Ling Jieyu's face, and she frantically hinted, "Going shopping is fine too. It's getting cold, so you can buy some thick winter clothes."

Grandpa Qin knew that young people had a rich nightlife, so he felt he had to say something too. "Ayu, take Ruohan out to see what's fun. But remember to keep a close eye on Ruohan. She's finally back, so don't lose her."

Mu Tiantian originally wanted to refuse on the grounds that she was tired, but she felt that this was a good opportunity to leave and go to Nancheng to see Fu Zhengting.

If they don't leave, they won't have any chance at all in the Qin family.

I haven't seen Fu Zhengting for more than half a month, and it feels like centuries have passed.

Even just going to take a look would be fine, as long as I get back before dawn, my parents won't know.

She rubbed her stomach. "I'm so full, I need to go out for a walk."

Xia Guiying and Qin Dongyang moved behind Mu Tiantian and pushed her toward Ling Jieyu.

Xia Guiying pushed her along, saying, "Ruohan, why don't you go shopping with Ayu? Ayu can show you around Dongcheng."

She pushed too hard, and Mu Tiantian bumped into Ling Jieyu.

Xia Guiying looked Mu Tiantian up and down. "Ruohan, wait a moment. Mom will go back to her room and get you a scarf. It will go very well with this knitted dress."

Soon, she took it out and wrapped it around Mu Tiantian's neck; it really suited her.

Sexy yet artistic.

Xia Guiying's gaze swept back and forth between Mu Tiantian and Ling Jieyu's faces.

They are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

She is very proud to have such a beautiful and sexy daughter.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian was wearing slippers, and worried that she would get cold if she went out, she went up into the dressing room and brought down a pair of boots for Mu Tiantian to match.

Mu Tiantian glanced at the size; it was a size too big, and it was a bit loose on her.

However, the boots being a little loose doesn't matter; in fact, it makes walking more comfortable.

Moreover, going up a size looks better overall and will look cool.

Ling Jieyu scanned Mu Tiantian from top to bottom.

It's a pretty novel outfit.

A combination of pure desire and cool swagger.

It would be perfect for going out on a date.

He was somewhat looking forward to it.

"Uncle Qin, Aunt Xia, Grandpa Qin, then I'll take Ruohan on her date."

He naturally took Mu Tiantian's hand and went outside.

Mu Tiantian resisted the urge to shake him off.

She needed Ling Jieyu's help to leave Dongcheng, so she had no choice but to endure it.

Xia Guiying and the other two watched the two figures walk away, and all three smiled in unison like doting aunts.
