Song Qiao was suddenly pulled out by Lu Jingchen before she could think, and when she looked up, she met a pair of eyes filled with a chilling air. Instinctively, she wanted to back away, but Lu Jingchen seemed to anticipate her move and firmly kept her by his side by holding onto her waist.
Trapped, Song Qiao felt a desire to cry but had no tears. For some reason, the man Lu Jingchen called ’Uncle’ gave her a feeling of danger, yet she couldn’t explain why if asked; it was probably just his aura.
Her mind racing, Song Qiao straightened up and bowed at ninety degrees, speaking formally and respectfully: "Greetings to Huo Third Brother!"
Lin Musen and Gu Xicheng almost couldn’t hold back their laughter at Song Qiao’s rigid demeanor, but a glance from Lu Jingchen made them forcefully suppress it.
Lu Jingchen, noticing Song Qiao’s nervousness, corrected her warmly, the corners of his lips curving slightly, "Xiao Qiao... you should call him Uncle."
Huo Lingyan, who initially had a strained expression at the sight of Song Qiao, couldn’t help but burst into laughter when faced with her formal appearance, softening into a warm elder as he said, "You’re Xiao Qiao, right? No need to be so tense, I don’t bite. Since you and Jingchen are married now, just call me Uncle like he does." Check latest chapters at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Huo Lingyan didn’t expect that Lu Jingchen would bring such a big surprise shortly after returning to the country, nor did he imagine that Jingchen’s bride was such an adorable girl. If the old man back home knew Jingchen had gotten married, especially to such a likable girl, he’d probably be overjoyed.
Song Qiao now wished she could retreat into a hole, her face turning even redder from embarrassment. Hearing Huo Lingyan’s words, she relaxed a bit and lifted her head, smiling broadly and obediently saying, "Hello, Uncle!"
Lu Jingchen was even more satisfied, tightening his grip on Song Qiao’s waist. The girl had finally acknowledged his status.
Now that the parents had been met, let’s see if she still brings up divorce.
Huo Lingyan chuckled, fumbling in his pocket and magically producing what looked like a membership card, which he handed to Song Qiao, "This is your first time meeting me, the parent. Although this isn’t a red envelope, consider it a token of goodwill from me, take it!"
Song Qiao was startled and instinctively looked towards Lu Jingchen beside her.
Seeing the card Huo Lingyan passed over, Lu Jingchen paused a moment, then turned towards Song Qiao and said, "With this card, you won’t have to pay when you come here to eat!"
This restaurant is the most famous, luxurious, and expensive in An City, frequented by notable figures who naturally have things like membership cards.
But the card in Huo Lingyan’s hand was not a membership card, but rather a card symbolizing status, which allowed the bearer to dine anytime at the restaurant for free.
Even within the Huo Family, not many had such a card, let alone Gu Xicheng and Lin Musen. Seeing Huo Lingyan give this card to Song Qiao, the two almost couldn’t resist snatching it.
Huo Third Brother was perhaps too generous, right? Why didn’t they receive one?
Ahhh... This is so unfair, isn’t it?
