Upon hearing Xixi's name, everyone immediately knew what was going on. Everyone had a tacit understanding and looked at Rick. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Just then, Huo Mien received a WeChat message. She glanced at it and then looked up at Su Yu. "Xixi's here. She's at the door. Go and receive her, or she won't be able to come in."
"Okay." Su Yu nodded and immediately stood up.
Rick also stood up slowly. "Huo Mien, I have something else to do. I'll go now. I'll come see the babies another day."
"Rick, why are you hiding from Xixi?" Huo Mian asked directly, not at all bothered by the crowd. Rick, on the other hand, didn't expect Huo Mian to be so direct.
"I just … think it's better not to see her in this situation."
"But, do you plan on avoiding her forever?"
Rick fell silent …
"Ahem, um, Mian, I think you shouldn't make it too hard for Rick. After all, it's not good for them to see each other right now." Zhu Lingling was a gossipy person. After finding out that Rick and Xixi had broken up, she pitied the poor couple. Zhu Lingling thought that both of them needed time. Plus, she didn't know what was wrong with Huo Mien today. Why was she being so aggressive?
"I'm not making it hard for Rick. I just think it's better to solve some things face to face so that there won't be any regrets."
Huo Mien replied word by word …
Jiang Xiaowei looked at Huo Mien in surprise. She was curious about her behavior today, but after thinking about it, she knew what she wanted.
Then, she smiled and said, "Rick, Mian's right. If there's any misunderstanding, let's sit down and talk about it. Plus, the little princesses' one-month-old celebration is such a happy event. It's meaningless for you to leave like this. Let's sit down and have some fun. What do you think?"
Huo Mien and Jiang Xiaowei spoke at the same time. Rick, who wasn't good with words, had no choice but to sit down.
Just then, Su Yu walked in with Xixi …
Everyone greeted him warmly. Huo Mien walked over and held Xixi's hand, letting her sit beside him. Although they were far away from each other, they were indeed face to face. They could see each other just by looking up.
Xixi wasn't surprised to see Rick, because she knew that this was the last chance that Huo Mien had painstakingly fought for her.
She tried to smile at him, but Rick didn't even look up.
"Now that everyone is here, can we start eating?" Huo Mien looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded and ordered the kitchen to serve the dishes immediately.
Since many of them were not familiar with Lord Su, they were divided into two tables.
The elders sat at one table, and the juniors sat at another table …
Huo Mien and her friends sat at one table, while Mrs. Huo Mien and Mrs. Lord Su sat at the other table with their kids. This way, they wouldn't disturb each other. Huo Mien didn't have to take care of the kids, so he could chat with everyone.
Tang Chuan and Zhu Lingling were both lively people. With them around, there would never be an awkward silence. However, Rick was the type of person who didn't talk at all. He didn't eat much, nor did he talk. He just sat there quietly.
Xixi kept looking at Rick, but he didn't look at her.
Huo Mien saw how anxious Xixi was. During the meal, Huo Mien stood up on purpose. "Xixi, come with me to the bathroom."
"Okay." Xixi nodded and followed Huo Mien upstairs.
"Mian, what should I do? I feel like Rick … doesn't want to talk to me … he won't even look at me."
"It's not that he doesn't want to look, he doesn't dare to …" Huo Mien smiled.
"Do you have any ideas?" Xixi asked anxiously.
"Stay in my room and don't move. I'll think of a way to get him to come up to you. The rest is up to you …" Huo Mien said.
Xixi nodded and seemed to have made up her mind.
Then, Huo Mien shouted from the second floor, "Help, Xixi fainted …"
As soon as he said that, Rick ran up the stairs at lightning speed …
