Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

There was a moment of silence in the private room.

Mrs. Wang suddenly looked up: "You... what did you say? What's your girlfriend's name?"

She thought she had misheard. This man, whom even President Wan bowed and scraped to, had a girlfriend who shared the same name as her daughter.

"Auntie, my girlfriend's name is Wang Yiran."

Shen Juan repeated each word once more.

Wang's mother blinked, looked down at her daughter whose head was almost buried in the bowl, and wondered what else she didn't understand?

She licked her lips, lowered her head, and said nothing more.

Wan Baolai was taken aback by the strange atmosphere in the private room.

"What's wrong? Do you know this Ms. Wang Yiran?"

Aunt Wang and Wang Yiran's cousin turned pale, gave an awkward laugh, and didn't answer.

Shen Juan walked a few steps to Wang Yiran's side and bent down.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Miss Wang Yiran?"

Wan Baolai's smile vanished instantly. His gaze swept over everyone's faces before he realized that the clown was himself.

"Wang Tao".

Wang Yiran's cousin immediately stood up, "President Wan."

"Didn't you say your cousin was single?"

"She's single. I've never heard her say she has a boyfriend. Mom, what's going on?"

Aunt Wang turned her head and glared at Shen Juan: "I didn't know she had a boyfriend. Could it be that she didn't want to go on blind dates... so she hired him?"

She sized up Shen Juan; his red lips and white teeth made him look like a pretty boy, and the more she looked, the more convinced she was of her guess.

"Yes, old classmate, it must be my cousin who didn't want to go on a blind date and had someone impersonate her."

Wan Baolai sneered, "Wang Tao, don't you know who President Shen is? You can't even afford his tie with your entire year's salary. How much do you think it would cost to hire him?"

Shen Juan raised an eyebrow and glanced down at his chest; it was a certain brand's latest design this year.

It was delivered to the villa this afternoon, along with the suit I'm wearing.

Mrs. Wang gasped. She knew her nephew's salary well; a single tie cost him a year's wages.

How rich must this person be?

Such a person could be her future son-in-law... Her lips twitched a few times, but she couldn't help but curl them up.

"Snapped!"

Wang Yiran looked up and slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table.

"Okay, he... is indeed my boyfriend, Shen Juan. I haven't had a chance to tell everyone yet."

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up immediately!

Shen Juan casually pulled out the chair next to Wang Yiran and sat down.

"Does anyone mind if I sit down too?"

Wan Baolai's face twitched slightly, and he shook his head: "President Shen, you're joking. Who in Haicheng doesn't know Jinlan Hotel? It's half Jin family, half Shen family. You're in your own home, why would you need to ask me?"

Wang Yiran turned her head and met Shen Juan's ambiguous smile.

No wonder this guy was so calm when he saw her text message, no wonder he could accurately find which private room she was in, he was actually plotting something here.

Shen Juan smiled and said, "Isn't this your private room, Mr. Wan? Are these dishes enough? Shall we order some more? We can eat and chat."

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Wang immediately agreed, her eyes so bright that Shen Juan didn't dare to turn his head to look at her.

Wan Baolai took a deep breath and stood up: "President Shen, I just remembered I have something to attend to at the company, so I won't keep you company any longer. This meal is on me."

"No need. Why should I pay anything at home? Mr. Wan, please just leave."

Wan Baolai gave a faint smile and said, "Thank you very much. I'll take my leave now."

"Mr. Wan, wait for me, I'm coming too."

Wang Yiran's cousin also stood up and was about to chase after Wan Baolai, but he stopped him by raising his hand.

"No, let's not. I'll give you a long vacation so you and your family can have a nice meal together."

"President Wan, President Wan..."

When Aunt Wang saw her son chasing after Wan Baolai, she immediately got up, grabbed her coat, and went after him as well.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Wang Yiran and her mother.

After the three left, the private room immediately fell silent.

Shen Juan tapped on the table, and the waiter at the door immediately came in.

"President Shen."

"Is the private room I ordered ready?"

"Everything's ready, the dishes have just been served."

Shen Juan nodded, then turned around and looked at Wang Mama.

"Auntie, please do me the honor of coming to my private room. The food has already been prepared."

"Okay, okay, okay." Mrs. Wang smiled and said "okay" three times in a row before following the waiter out the door.

Wang Yiran grabbed Shen Juan: "What are you trying to do?"

He embarrassed Wanbaolai today, and I reckon my cousin will lose his job. There's bound to be a fierce battle between my aunt and my mother!

"Your aunt and cousin brought this on themselves. Couldn't you see they wanted to use you as a sacrifice?"

"So what's with changing private rooms now?"

Shen Juan blinked: "Of course, it's the first time I'm meeting your parents."

It's because she always acts like she's done with me and then just walks away, leaving me constantly on edge.

Who knows if she'll one day follow in the footsteps of her best friend Jiang Wan and run away without saying a word.

Lu Jingshi, who drowns his sorrows in alcohol every night, has never met Jiang Wan's family, nor does he know anything about her hometown. Jiang Wan has never even told him how many people are in her family.

Just because she said Lu Jingshi was like a woman who had been prostituted and then discarded, she got punched by him and had black eyes for several days.

I don't want to end up like him.

Instead of waiting for Wang Yiran to introduce him to her parents, he might as well take this opportunity to fight for it himself.

The private room in the Shen family's house was more exquisitely decorated than the ordinary private room, and Wang's mother was so satisfied that she couldn't stop smiling as soon as she entered.

The dishes on the table were so exquisite that it was almost too beautiful to eat.

Shen Juan pulled out a chair for Wang Yiran and sat down next to her.

"These are all your favorite dishes, and the ingredients are all the freshest. Try them."

He picked up a slice of lotus root and put it in Wang Yiran's bowl. Seeing how considerate he was, Wang's mother was even more pleased.

"Xiao Shen, how many people are in your family? What do your parents do? When are you planning to get engaged?"

"Cough, cough!"

Wang Yiran suddenly choked on a lotus root and started coughing with her head down. Shen Juan immediately handed her water and gently patted her back.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you checking someone's household registration right off the bat, trying to pressure them into marriage?"

Wang's mother rolled her eyes at her, thinking, "This silly girl doesn't understand anything."

With such good qualities as Xiao Shen, if he doesn't act quickly, plenty of women will be throwing themselves at him.

Wang Yiran was both anxious and angry. She and Shen Juan had never discussed this issue before, but her mother was already urging her to do it. Is this the kind of thing a girl should be urging?

Shen Juan patted Wang Yiran's hand, signaling her not to get excited.

"Auntie, it's like this, we don't have any plans to get married right now, but every day we're together, I will treat Ranran with all my heart."

Wang Yiran's hands, resting on her knees, slowly tightened...

Shen Juan was naturally quick-witted and eloquent, and he managed to make Wang's mother smile with delight during the meal.

The two were chatting happily and didn't notice the disappointment on Wang Yiran's face at all.
