Xu Nianhua silently touched her nose. If she wasn’t mistaken, it was Brother Lie who kept drinking and didn’t manage to get Pei Yicheng drunk, but instead got himself drunk.
"Xiaolie got drunk trying to drink him under the table?"
Su Jinrong could almost be certain, thinking that when Xiaolie woke up, he’d have to give him a stern talking to. He asked, "Nianhua, what do you and Yicheng think?"
"Yes, I know you and Yicheng have been together since last year, but did he mention taking you to the Pei Family?" Jiang Wanru also chimed in.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized it might not be appropriate and added, "I know you two have a good relationship. Mom doesn’t oppose you being with Yicheng but just wants to see what the Pei Family’s attitude is."
"At the end of last year, he mentioned taking me home for dinner, but his dad got sick, and I had to go back home, so it didn’t happen. Yesterday, he asked when I’ll go to the Pei Family for dinner." Xu Nianhua replied obediently, without any hint of concealment.
Su Jinrong and Jiang Wanru’s acceptance also made Xu Nianhua breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are he and his dad having a disagreement?" Jiang Wanru asked tactfully.
Jiang Wanru knew about the relationship between Pei Yicheng and Pei Guozhong.
"Mom, actually about this matter..." Xu Nianhua wasn’t sure how to explain.
Jiang Wanru sympathetically responded, "When Du Ya passed away, Yicheng was just a ten-year-old child. In his heart, he viewed his dad as the one responsible for his mother’s death."
"Mom, you know about it all?" Xu Nianhua was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Wanru smiled and said, "It’s not a secret, and I was friends with Du Ya. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Yicheng back then. When Du Ya was still around, he was exceptionally polite. I even thought that if you were around, you could have been my son-in-law. I didn’t expect, after all this time, you two still ended up together."
"Maybe it’s just fate." Jiang Wanru raised her hand and tidied the hair by her ear, looking at her graceful demeanor. Thinking about her upcoming wedding, she couldn’t help but feel reluctant.
"Mom, I’m not in a rush. Brother Cheng and I have decided to get married after I graduate." Xu Nianhua snuggled against Jiang Wanru’s shoulder and said, "In these two years, there are so many things going on. His company and the architecture institute both need him, so we’re not in a hurry."
Two years seem to pass too quickly.
Jiang Wanru thought so in her heart but outwardly said, "Right, we’re not in a hurry. If he treats you badly, you must tell Mom."
"Mm." Xu Nianhua felt sweet inside, realizing she now had a pair of loving parents.
"There’s no rush to eat at the Pei Family either, as Xiyue Hotel is about to be completed. The interior decoration remaining will take time too, and Yicheng is likely extremely busy." Jiang Wanru’s words also resonated with Xu Nianhua, thinking that Brother Cheng is busy enough to skip meals. They should wait.
...
"Headache." Su Lie woke up the next day with an intense headache. He pressed his temples as yesterday’s memories slowly returned. He intended to get Pei Yicheng drunk, but how did he end up getting himself down?
"Awake? How much did you drink yesterday? You threw up three times!" Fang Manyin turned over, sleepily and asked. It was the first time since they married that she saw Su Lie drink so much.
Su Lie froze for a moment and asked, "How did I get back home yesterday?"
"Pei Yicheng and Nianhua brought you back." Fang Manyin replied with her eyes closed.
Su Lie: "..."
