Now that everything was out in the open, the situation became clearer. The atmosphere during the meal was no longer as stiff as it was at the beginning of the meal, and it gradually became more harmonious.
During the conversation, Hao Ren learned that the interior design of the house was personally designed by Zhao Hongyu. Zhao Hongyu was a famous designer in the design circle in her ordinary life.
After further communication, Hao Ren was surprised to find out that the East Ocean University Gymnasium, one of the top ten landmarks in East Ocean City, was built by Zhao Yanzi's mom. It was also the most commonly used promotional picture on East Ocean University's recruitment brochures.
Her father was a business tycoon, and her mother was a famous designer. This kind of family was obviously not well-off. Even without their so-called hidden identities, a little girl like Zhao Yanzi had enough capital to be proud in real life. Hao Ren thought as he ate.
During the meal, Zhao Hongyu was the only one who talked to Hao Ren. Zhao Guang, who was sitting beside her, ate calmly and occasionally chimed in. Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, kept her head down as she ate. She chewed vigorously as if she was eating Hao Ren instead of rice.
"This is probably the legendary meeting of in-laws," Hao Ren thought. While answering their questions, Hao Ren secretly speculated in his mind.
"Are your parents abroad?" Zhao Hongyu continued to ask Hao Ren.
"Yeah, they should be back next month," Hao Ren answered.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a moment and said, "How about we meet when your parents come back?"
Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat. He had just accepted the fact that he was going to be in contact with Zhao Yanzi for a long time, but Zhao Hongyu's request pushed him to the edge of the cliff again.
"If my parents knew that I found a middle-schooler as my fiancée while they were not in China, I wonder how they would react …" he thought.
"Since the matter has been settled, it's normal for your parents to meet," Zhao Hongyu saw the hesitation on Hao Ren's face and said.
Hao Ren looked at Zhao Hongyu's gentle face and knew from her eager eyes that she wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. After all, in her mind, parents had to make the final decision on this kind of matter.
"I didn't say that I would marry him!" Zhao Yanzi looked up and finally blurted out.
"You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes. If you didn't break away from Elder Lu's supervision, you wouldn't have made such a mistake. Do you want others to take responsibility for your own mistakes? "Zhao Hongyu's expression was still gentle, but her tone became stern.
Zhao Yanzi stopped talking since she knew she was in the wrong. However, she didn't want to marry this' uncle 'because of her mistake.
"Hao Ren, I'm very satisfied." Zhao Hongyu stared at Zhao Yanzi and said, "You're not a kid anymore. You can't throw a tantrum like a kid. You should bear the responsibility that you have to bear. How much longer can your father and I protect you? We've decided on this matter because we want you to calm down. You can't always be as lawless as a child. "
Hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, Zhao Yanzi looked at her pitifully. She wanted to cry, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Hao Ren. Therefore, she bit her lip and held it in.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu scolding Zhao Yanzi, her father Zhao Guang remained silent. Obviously, he was on the same side as Zhao Hongyu.
Hao Ren had a feeling that Zhao Yanzi's parents had a deeper meaning to this matter, but Zhao Yanzi was too young to understand it.
"Are they taking this opportunity to entrust Zi to me? Could it be that with their abilities and background, there are still unspeakable dangers? "
"Ren," Zhao Hongyu turned to Hao Ren and said, "Zi is still a kid. You should be more tolerant of her."
"Ok, I know." At this moment, Hao Ren had to agree.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi's teary eyes, Zhao Guang felt bad for her even though he looked serious. He said to her, "Go upstairs and rest after you finish eating."
Zhao Yanzi nodded and ran up the stairs.
Hao Ren looked at her petite back and then looked back at Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang.
"Let her be alone for a while," Zhao Hongyu said.
Hao Ren lowered his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Tell me the truth. What do you think of Zi?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
In fact, Hao Ren didn't have a good impression of this bad-tempered little girl. However, he couldn't talk about her shortcomings in front of her parents. Therefore, Hao Ren racked his brain to think of Zhao Yanzi's good points.
"She is pretty. Although she has a temper, she is cute," he said after thinking for a few seconds. Pretty and spoiled were the only good points he could think of.
"You are older than her, so you should take care of her more. Her father and I are busy with many things, so we don't have much time to take care of her. This makes her a little stubborn and a little arrogant, "Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren and said sincerely.
"Ok." Hao Ren nodded. Although he didn't like Zhao Yanzi, he was touched by Zhao Hongyu's parental care.
In fact, he could understand Zhao Yanzi's feelings. When he was young, his parents were also busy with work and rarely took care of him. Therefore, he was more independent and self-centered when he was young. Fortunately, he had a grandma who took care of him in every possible way, which gave him some good memories of his childhood.
"Go up and keep her company." Zhao Hongyu pouted at the direction of the stairs.
"Ok." Hao Ren immediately put down his chopsticks and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
There were some abstract paintings hanging on the walls of the stairs. As he walked slowly, it felt like he was in an art gallery. Through a small window at the corner of the second floor, Hao Ren could see the tranquil beauty of the backyard. He couldn't help but admire Zhao Hongyu's sense of design.
Zhao Yanzi's room was the first room on the corner of the second floor. Hao Ren knew this from the black cat hanging on the door.
He stood at the door and knocked.
There was no sound from inside.
"Hey, you won't let me in?" Hao Ren stood there for a few seconds and asked.
"Go tell on me if you can," Zhao Yanzi's sad voice came from inside.
Hao Ren smiled and took a few small steps on purpose to make it look like he was going downstairs.
Dong, dong, dong … Zhao Yanzi thought Hao Ren was really going downstairs to tell on her, so she hurried to open the door.
She rushed out of the room and wanted to grab Hao Ren by the stairs, but she didn't expect Hao Ren to be standing at the door. She bumped into his arms.
Her soft and tender body didn't hurt Hao Ren, but it made his stomach itch.
Hao Ren reached out and caught this rash little girl's shoulders. He looked down at her and said, "Do I look like the kind of person who would tell on others?"
Zhao Yanzi looked up and blushed. She knew she was wrong, but she still said stubbornly, "You are!"
Hao Ren smiled and didn't argue with her. He pushed her away slightly and walked into her bedroom.
"Hey, where are your manners? How can you just walk into my room?" Zhao Yanzi stood at the door and looked at Hao Ren with dissatisfaction.
"I'm entering my fiancée's room. What's wrong with that?" Hao Ren looked back at her on purpose and said.
"You …" Zhao Yanzi stared at Hao Ren. She wanted to get angry but couldn't.
Her eyes were red as if she had really cried. Seeing this, Hao Ren didn't want to bully her. He avoided her angry eyes and pretended not to care as he looked around her room.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the small bedroom had an oriental view of the flowers and trees in the courtyard. The sunlight from the outside shone on the transparent glasses, creating a dazzling beauty.
There was a light green fish tank on the windowsill with a few goldfish in it. The framed calligraphy of the first mate hung on the bedside table, giving the bedroom a unique artistic atmosphere.
The light brown wall gave the room the warmth of a little girl, especially the teddy bear dolls, proving that the owner of this bedroom was a little girl who needed care.
