chapter 45

Gu Yingjie sat at the Qin family’s big table and he was very nervous. To be honest, he has experienced bigger scenes, and he has seen higher-level people, so he should be able to handle such minor scenes as family dinners. Moreover, he came here after a long time of psychological construction. But there are some things like this, even if you do more preparation, you will be nervous because you care too much.

    Yes, he cares a lot. He desperately wants to leave a good impression in front of Qin Wenyi and his wife. Although everyone has long known each other, if there is any poor impression, it is too late to pretend now. Gu Yingjie suddenly remembered his own ‘womanizer‘ image. He really did not think he was a womanizer, but now, by Qin Yufei’s successful brainwashing, he also reviewed his own shortcomings. He just hope that as a parent, Qin Wenyi does not take his past love history into account. He is now devoted to his daughter.

Gu Yingjie carefully ate his meal, secretly observing Qin Wenyi’s expression. But Qin Wenyi’s face looks as usual, showed nothing different. As if the young man sitting at one side of the meal is not the first boyfriend that his daughter brought home, but an ordinary partner. It’s more of a business socializing style. It is Mrs. Qin who smiled and kept looking at Gu Yingjie. She obviously had a stomach full of questions, but did not ask.

Gu Yingjie became more nervous. These two parents, really impassive, the road is deep, ah. He did not dare to say much, for fear of saying something wrong. He had the intention to behave in a civilized and decent manner, but unfortunately, his girlfriend, Miss Qin Yufei, desperately gave him food, piling the food on the plate in front of him, which really ruined his image.

Gu Yingjie gave Qin Yufei a low-key glance, trying to imply that she should stop giving him food. Is it really appropriate to portray her boyfriend as a foodie in front of her parents?

    But Qin Yufei was smiling at him, and whispered to him, “You have to eat more oh, I specially asked the chef to make it for you, all the dishes you like to eat.”

She smiled so sweetly and her voice was so soft, Gu Yingjie’s heart was melting. It is too rare that his queen also has such a soft and adorable time, Gu Yingjie was poured into this bewitching soup, and suddenly his heart became ecstatic. Let’s eat then. He is not fat anyway.

Mrs. Qin knows her husband very well. If he did not speak, then he should have his own intentions. She naturally cooperated and talked little, only to talk to Gu Yingjie to eat more dishes. The power to ‘force a confession’ was left to Qin Wenyi.

Therefore, at this dinner, the parents said nothing serious, the atmosphere like a common conversation. Gu Yingjie was stuffed with a lot of dishes by Qin Yufei, and could only bury his head and eat hard. Qin Yufei was full of joy and did not think much about anything else. Gu Yingjie came for her. Meeting parents is such a horrible thing. He took the initiative to do so; she felt so touched.

Thus, accidentally, the prince who came to fight the parents in armor and riding a white horse for the beloved princess, in a meal, nothing serious was negotiated, and he continued to eat.

 After finishing all the dishes Qin Yufei gave him, Gu Yingjie felt he could not stand up, but when he turned his eyes and saw the smiling eyes of Qin Wenyi and Mrs. Qin, he felt he could stand up again, his back was straight and he was alive.

    Qin Wenyi greeted Gu Yingjie and asked him to go to a side room to sit and rest. Qin Yufei followed him with great enthusiasm and had the butler prepare a large plate of fruit.

    “Gu Yingjie, eat the fruit.” Qin Yufei smiled sweetly, but Gu Yingjie wanted to cry, really couldn’t eat anymore.

    “Eat it.” She said.

Qin Wenyi did not speak, waiting to see how Gu Yingjie was going to fix it. He has been observing him, the amount of dishes that his daughter gave, can feed a pig. So Qin Wenyi felt that Gu Yingjie should be quite reluctant to eat until it was finished. But this silly daughter only knows how to giggle and is not considerate at all. Actually, he could help Gu Yingjie, but he would not do it.

    “I want to drink tea.” Gu Yingjie said to Qin Yufei. Didn’t mention that she stuffed him too much, or that he didn’t want to eat her fruit, but made another request.

“Did you eat too much just now?” Qin Yufei asked, turning her head and asking the butler to prepare tea.

    “Mm.” Gu Yingjie nodded and said calmly, “And also very full.”

“Oh.” Qin Yufei responded this time. He was so full of food that he didn’t want to eat fruit. She giggled a little in embarrassment. Knowing that it is her own doing, but he is also too stupid. If he can not eat anymore, he should tell her. When she was happy, she didn’t pay attention to it. She looked at his stomach. It was not bulging. If her parents weren’t around, she would have touched his belly.

Mrs. Qin led the butler over with tea and poured a cup for Gu Yingjie. Then she sat down and sat next to Qin Wenyi, looking at Gu Yingjie with a smile, and asked him, “When did Ah Jie and Yufei started dating?”

    When she spoke at the table, she called him “Young Master Gu” and was protested by Qin Yufei. So she changed her name to Ah Jie.

    Gu Yingjie’s spirits were lifted. Oh my God, are we finally getting to the point? He hurriedly replied, “We confirmed it at the Dragon Boat Festival.”

 Mrs. Qin glanced at her husband and continued with a smile, “That wasn’t very long.”

Gu Yingjie replied with careful consideration, “We’ve known each other for quite a long time. We met at Yufei’s birthday party last year.” Not sure what the purpose of pursuing the length of the relationship is?

    Mrs. Qin smiled again. “It’s been over a year.”

    “Yes.” Gu Yingjie responded while glancing at Qin Yufei. She was hugging his arm and snuggling next to him, not interrupting, but squinting at her mother with a very cute expression. Gu Yingjie lost his smile. If her parents were not here, he would really kiss her cheeks.

This time Mrs. Qin spoke again: “My family’s Yufei, was spoiled by us, her temper is big.”

“It’s fine.” Gu Yingjie said.

Qin Yufei couldn’t help it this time, she slapped Gu Yingjie’s arm, “You should say ‘no, it’s not, her temper is fine’.”

    Mr. and Mrs. Qin Wenyi and Gu Yingjie both laughed. Gu Yingjie replied to her, “This lie is too obvious. I’m afraid your parents think I’m dishonest. So it’s better to tell the truth. You have a big temper, but it’s okay. We get along well, don’t we?”

Qin Yufei looked at him, then turned to Mrs. Qin and said, “Yes, he said it right. We are getting along well.”

    Mrs. Qin smiled, picked up her tea and took a sip, not asking Gu Yingjie any more questions about them. After that, she talked about some family affairs and asked Gu Yingjie to ask his parent how they were when his go back. The twenty minutes after-dinner tea break was over.

Gu Yingjie was very good at reading eyes, so he politely said goodbye. Qin Wenyi did not keep him, but only praised him, saying that he was young and talented and should continue to work hard. Gu Yingjie couldn’t figure out if Qin Wenyi had a deeper meaning in his words, so he thanked him and agreed. When Gu Yingjie went out, Qin Yufei yelled to see him off and went out with him.

    The door closed behind them. Gu Yingjie and Qin Yufei looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and then both smiled.

    “Walk with me for a while.” Gu Yingjie said. He really needed to take a walk to digest his food.

“Okay.” Qin Yufei held his hand and bounced along, without the appearance of a refined young lady. She was really too happy today.

    After the two walked for a while, Gu Yingjie said, “They said nothing. They didn’t even ask us about our future plans.” But he is inexperienced in meeting parents, just inferred by common sense. Shouldn’t all parents care about this? Do you love my daughter? Do you plan to marry her? Where will you live after the wedding or something like that? It was different from what he had imagined, and he was really a little uneasy. It’s as if he didn’t complete his mission after coming here.

“Don’t worry, my father surely had back up moves. He needs time to figure out how to squeeze the maximum benefit out of you. When he has figured it out, he will find you to talk.”

“……” Gu Yingjie tapped her forehead, “Isn’t this the time you should comfort me by saying they asked nothing because they liked me so much they didn’t even need to ask?”

    “That lie is too obvious. I’m afraid you think I’m not sincere.”

Gu Yingjie laughed and wrapped his arms around her and gave her a fierce kiss on the cheek: “Small-minded, so quick to take revenge.”

    Qin Yufei smiled cheekily. “Well, to prove that I am broad-minded, I’ll comfort you. They asked nothing because they like you too much and were very satisfied with you, so there’s no need to ask. As long as we are doing well.”

 “Hmm. Thanks for the comfort. But it’s my words, and it’s not sincere at all for you to copy them and use them directly.”

    “That’s fine. Then I’ll have an original one. I tell you, oh, my parents must be particularly impressed with you. Because before opening the door, I announced loudly that my boyfriend was here, and then once the door was opened, a Mr. Courier stood at the door. My father’s face was that shocked expression. It must scare him half to death. Because of the peak turn, it turns out that my boyfriend is not a courier. He must have felt comforted in his heart, the contrast effect, adding a lot of points to you.” She winked at Gu Yingjie. “How about that?”

“This comfort is so forced, I actually relied on Mr. Courier to pull up the score. I thought it was all on my strength.”

    Qin Yufei laughed out loud. “You’re so picky. It’s good to have extra points, regardless of how it’s added.”

“You made up your own nonsense.” Gu Yingjie looked at her smiling eyes, sweet smile, couldn’t help but stop, hugged her, rested his forehead against hers and rubbed his nose against hers. “But I’m still happy. Although it’s not what I expected, it seems to fall a little short of completion. Still, I’m happy, and I’m glad I came over on a whim.” From now on, he can be the rightful boyfriend of Qin Yufei.

    “I’m also glad you came.” Qin Yufei stood on tiptoe and placed a kiss on his lips. “I want to comfort you again. What should I do?”

    “Then comfort ah.”

    “But you’ll definitely dislike it.”

“I won’t.”

    “Okay, then I’ll start.”

    “Hmm, you tell me.”

    “You have to look on the bright side, even if this visit does not feel like much progress, did not achieve a complete victory, but you at least had a full meal, ah!”

    “……” Could it be that he still lacked a full meal? “Qin Yufei!” called her with gritted teeth.

    “You see! Told you would be disliked it.” Qin Yufei laughed and turned around and ran when he put on a fierce look. He caught him before she ran two steps.

“This comfort is not sincere at all, and it’s not funny as a joke.” Gu Yingjie was really in dislike. “But you are laughing so happily, and I think it’s quite funny.”

    Qin Yufei laughed. “Young Master Gu, you really have no principles.”

Gu Yingjie smiled. “I’m more than happy. After we’re together, you became happier. I’m glad, I like it when you’re happy, Yufei. Very much.” The roundabout words of love were his sincere words.
