She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

A group of people gathered at the entrance, making the originally spacious hall suddenly feel cramped.

Even the air is condensed.

I thought, if the severe winter hadn't appeared so timely, I'm afraid these people present would have suspected me of having ulterior motives, right?

But Yan Dong, who didn't know why, didn't seem to notice the various looks from around him. After giving me a gentle look, he politely greeted Zhou Hanzhi and Shen Hualan.

Zhou Hanzhi's expression was as calm as ever, and there was no emotion on his calm face.

However, Shen Hualan's eyes stayed on Yan Dong's body, with a hint of voyeurism in his eyes: "Professor Yan is dressed very formally today. If I don't look carefully, I wouldn't dare to recognize him."

Only then did I notice that Yan Dong seemed to have specially worn a dark gray single-breasted suit and wrinkle-free trousers today, which made him look more businesslike and sophisticated than usual, and less leisurely and lazy.

Quite formal.

Yan Dong said calmly: "Auntie, thank you very much. I have to be more serious when drinking tea with my elders today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xixi, who was standing aside, answered: "Congratulations to Sister Nanxu, you will be meeting your parents with Professor Yan so soon."

I don't know from which word Lin Xixi understood that I was going to meet Yan Dong's parents. After frowning slightly, she lost even the desire to explain.

It doesn't matter, what should I waste my time on?

However, Yan Dong was more sincere and said sincerely: "Miss Lin misunderstood, we are just drinking tea with the elders, but you and Han Zhi... are good things coming soon?"

Lin Xixi probably didn't expect Yan Dong to ask such a question. Her expression faltered, and she looked at Zhou Hanzhi as if asking for help. She said in a sweet and soft voice: "I listen to Hanzhi on all these things."

Zhou Hanzhi didn't reply clearly. After his eyes hurriedly swept across my face, he landed on Yan Dong's face and said, "When did Professor Yan become such a gossip?"

His voice was very soft, but there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

It sounds quite uncomfortable.

I immediately smoothed things over and said softly: "Elders, are you still waiting? Do you want to go there first?"

Yan Dong glanced down at me, and after their eyes met, he immediately said, "Look at me, I'm just chatting."

"Aunt, Hanzhi, then let's not disturb Sister Nanxu and Professor Yan," Lin Xixi said thoughtfully, with a smile on her face, "It is always rude to make the elders wait."

Yan Dong and I walked into the hall without saying another word.

I vaguely heard Zhou Hanzhi say: "Since everyone is here, let's go in too."

We entered the hall one after another, and when we were almost at the booth, Yan Dong suddenly stopped and looked at me seriously.

"what happened?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that according to the plot we set, you may need to give me some special interaction."

After he finished speaking, he took my wrist and hung it gently in his arm.

I thought I had to perform a full set of acting, so after hesitating for two seconds, I took his arm.

But I don’t know why, but I always felt that there were a pair of eyes beside me that were staring at me. When I looked up, I saw Zhou Han and his entourage sitting on a booth not far away.

There is an east-west symmetry between the two decks.

I thought it might be an illusion and quickly looked away.

After a brief absence of consciousness, when I looked up again, I had been brought to several elders by Yan Dong.

I met one of the middle-aged couples last time at the 100th birthday party of cousin Yan Dong’s baby. In terms of seniority, Yan Dong calls them third uncle and third aunt.

The two old men were kind-hearted and seemed quite reasonable.

The mother and daughter sitting on the right have a different style. One is elegant and the other is so exquisite that the nails on her hands are decorated. They are the protagonists of today's blind date.

After seeing us, the expressions of the four of them changed. The middle-aged woman immediately turned her face away and asked: "Old Yan, what's going on? You made us wait for half an hour in vain, and even brought someone over. what does it mean."

Uncle Yan also looked embarrassed when he saw this, and patiently asked Yan Dong: "Why are you still late for the appointed time? Please explain to your Aunt Zhang quickly."

Seeing this, Yan Dong said politely: "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhang, my girlfriend is temporarily busy, so I took some time and kept you waiting for a long time."

After hearing Yan Dong's explanation, Aunt Zhang looked at me irritably and said, "Girlfriend? Her? Lao Yan, are you two uncles and nephews playing tricks on me?"

After she finished speaking, she stood up, took her daughter and walked away angrily.

When Uncle Yan saw this, he tried to catch up, but the mother and daughter walked too fast, and he couldn't catch up.

After a while, he turned around again, glanced at me twice, then looked at Yan Dong, and said, "You kid always does things in a measured way. Why are you just...why are you acting so nonsense today?"

Third Aunt Yan also added: "Adong, you have indeed gone too far this time. I will pursue the case later, and it cannot be fooled by just a few words."

The back of my hand felt suddenly hot. I looked down and found that Yan Dong's broad palm was actually covering the back of my hand.

The man's clear voice pressed against my ear, and I heard Yan Dong say: "If grandpa is really to blame, I can only take Nan Xu to apologize to him. In short, I already belong to my heart, three uncles and three aunts I don’t have to worry about my life-long affairs anymore.”

They were obviously words of protest, but they came out of Yandong's mouth in a gentle and polite manner, but they were also very resounding.

The atmosphere condensed for a moment, and I could clearly see the shock and displeasure on the faces of the two old men, so I found an excuse and went to the bathroom.

I can't get involved too much in the Yan family's affairs.

After all, we are just pretending to be a couple, not a real couple.

In the bathroom, I sat on the toilet to adjust my breathing and carefully wiped the sweat from my palms.

Just as he was about to stand up, a familiar soft sound came to his ears.

"Mom, don't you think you're too impatient? I don't have anything like that with Hanzhidu. Now if you ask your aunt for a bride price, what will people think of me?"

It was Lin Xixi's voice.

It sounds quite anxious.

"No, you didn't succeed in capturing Zhou Hanzhi last time you went to Wannan?"

"There were a lot of things going on at the time, and Hanzhi didn't have much thought..." Lin Xixi explained pitifully, "Mom, can you please stop rushing me?"

"Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry," Zhao Hongmei's patient tone reached my ears, seeming to comfort Lin Xixi, "But Mom didn't do anything wrong. The Zhou family has a big business, and a mere one million gift is nothing to them. It’s just a drop in the bucket, don’t worry, honey, mom is thinking about you, and as for other obstacles, mom will remove them for you.”

Hearing this, I suddenly became very excited.

So Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi have been dating for so long, but they haven't done that kind of thing yet?
