Yu Nan complained, "But I'm afraid that if I open the door, Zhang Yimiao will hear it." Yu Ru said, "The rooms there are very big, especially the ones with an indoor hot spring pool. There are several doors inside and outside, no matter how you open and close the door, sister-in-law will not hear." Yu Nan's mood recovered and he said with a smile, "Then I'm relieved, hehe." Yu Ru sighed and said, "You're relieved, but I'm not." Yu Nan curiously said, "Aiyo, my darling, what's wrong with you?" Yu Nan said, "I'm worried that someone won't be able to do it, I won't be able to have fun at night." Yu Nan laughed and said in a low voice, "Don't worry darling, this brother promises to make you …"
While the two were talking dirty, Li Rui had also arrived at the entrance of the Provincial Party Committee's courtyard. He saw Yu Hongwei who was waiting there in advance. He held his arm and chatted with him. They were as close as brothers.
After greeting each other, Yu Hongwei brought Li Rui into the courtyard and headed to the second building of the Standing Committee Building. Yu Hongwei said that Qingman had already brought He Suli home. They were drinking tea while waiting for Lu Zhouxing to come back from work. Lu Zhouxing estimated that he would be home in at most ten minutes.
Li Rui laughed and asked, "Hongwei, what do you think of Auntie He?" Yu Hongwei gave him a thumbs up and praised, "She's really good. Whether it's her figure, appearance, or temperament, she's one in a million. She's definitely a good match for the old man!" Then he whispered, "When Qingman and I went to pick her up, I saw her for the first time. I thought she was only in her thirties. Tsk, tsk, she looks too young. When Qingman stood next to her, they looked like a pair of sisters. "
Li Rui knew that he was exaggerating, but he didn't overdo it. He Suli's appearance was indeed outstanding, completely inconsistent with her age. But he didn't know how she felt about his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing. Would she think that he was too old? Thinking of this, his grinning mouth closed again.
The two rushed home and saw Lu Qingman and He Suli.
Li Rui and Qingman hadn't seen each other for many days. He missed her and wanted to hug her and kiss her a few times. But seeing that He Suli was sitting, he could only greet her first and said, "Good evening Auntie He."
He Suli seemed to have sensed Lu Qingman's "bad intentions". Her face was a bit unnatural and shy. She stood up and said, "Xiao Li, you're here."
Li Rui hurriedly said, "Auntie He, you don't have to be polite with me. Hurry and sit. hehe." As he spoke, he saw that the teacup in front of her was half full. He hurriedly went over to fill her teapot with water. His nose had already smelled the rich aroma of food. He knew that the housekeeper was cooking delicious food in the kitchen to entertain this distinguished guest who was very likely to be the future hostess.
After Li Rui and He Suli finished chatting, he saw that Qingman was secretly giving him a look. He walked over to He Suli's side and waited for her orders. His eyes swept over her lower abdomen and saw that it was already bulging. He reminded himself that when she was three months pregnant, he would take her to Sea City General Hospital to have her file set up with Yang Ping.
Lu Qingman smiled at He Suli and said, "Auntie Li, sit down and drink some water first. We'll go to the kitchen to see how the dishes are going."
He Suli waved her hand and said politely, "No need to trouble yourself. Two dishes are enough."
Lu Qingman smiled at her and pulled Li Rui to the kitchen. When they turned the corner, she pulled Li Rui and hid in a corner of the dining room.
Li Rui whispered, "My good wife, what do you want to say?" Lu Qingman said worriedly, "I'm so nervous right now. I'm really afraid that Auntie He will dislike our father when she sees him. You don't know how much effort I put in to invite her home for this meal. If she doesn't like our father, all my efforts will be wasted." Li Rui patted her hand and said, "It's okay. Don't worry too much about this kind of thing. Let nature take its course and let fate take its course. If they are destined to be together, of course, everyone will be happy. If not, it's okay too. We can slowly find the next one. The world lacks everything except women. " Lu Qingman sighed and said, "That's true, but I'm worried that it might have something to do with Auntie He being too outstanding!"
Li Rui asked, "Does she know our father's identity?" Lu Qingman said, "I didn't tell her too much. I only told her that our father is a provincial leader. But if she is a little bit more careful, she can find out that our father is a provincial leader through my surname." Li Rui asked again, "When did you tell her this?" Lu Qingman said, "I told her last week, but I only invited her over for dinner this week." Li Rui asked again, "Does she know that our father lives alone?" Lu Qingman nodded. Li Rui heard this and let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and whispered, "Then there's no problem. Think about it. She knows that our father lives alone, but she still agreed to come over for dinner. She more or less has some thoughts about our father …"
Just as he said this, the sound of Lu Zhouxing's hearty laughter could be heard from outside. The couple's ears twitched. They knew that the old man had returned. They didn't have time to talk privately anymore and quickly went out to welcome him.
As soon as Lu Zhouxing entered the living room, he saw He Suli standing up from the sofa to welcome him. This was also the first time he saw He Suli in person. He stared at her and saw that she had a slim figure. Her body didn't seem to have gained weight because of her age. Her appearance was elegant and beautiful. Her skin was white and smooth. Her eyes were clear and she had an elegant temperament. At first glance, she looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties. How was she an old woman in her late fifties? He couldn't help praising her in his heart. He strode forward and took the initiative to extend his right hand across the tea table. He smiled and said, "As the host, I didn't receive you in time. I'm really sorry. Please don't mind."
Lu Zhouxing was a provincial governor. Of course, he had seen many women. He had seen many beautiful women. Logically speaking, he should not praise He Suli's appearance so much. However, He Suli was not an ordinary beauty. Because He Suli was chosen by his daughter and son-in-law, she could be developed into a wife in the future. According to the public's point of view, a wife with a perfect appearance like He Suli was considered to be of the highest quality. Because of this, he was shocked by her beauty.
It was also He Suli's first time meeting Lu Zhouxing. She saw that he was tall, had regular facial features, and had a magnificent aura. He didn't look old at all. What's more, he spoke in a gentle and polite manner. She was impressed by him. She raised her hand to shake his hand and said gently and elegantly, "You're too polite. I've just arrived. I hope you don't mind that I'm taking the liberty to visit."
Lu Qingman couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them being so polite to each other. He went forward and introduced He Suli, "Dad, this is He Suli. I've always mentioned her to you. She's so nice. I can't wait to live with her … Aunt Li, this is my dad, Lu Zhouxing. He's the current provincial governor …"
Li Rui was secretly amused. He thought that Qingman's words were really bad. "I can't wait to live with her." Wasn't he hinting to He Suli that he wanted her to be his stepmother and become a family? He wasn't sure if He Suli understood.
After Lu Zhouxing and He Suli shook hands and got to know each other, he invited her to take a seat. He personally took the teapot and refilled her tea. He Suli was flattered and quickly stood up to stop him. The two of them were polite for a while. In the end, Lu Zhouxing refilled her tea.
Lu Zhouxing then sat at the head of the table and warmly chatted with He Suli. He Suli answered all of his questions and occasionally joked with him. After chatting for a while, they got along very well and their relationship gradually deepened.
Li Rui and Lu Qingman saw this and were very happy. The husband and wife looked at each other and felt that this marriage was bound to happen.
After the dishes were served, Lu Qingman invited He Suli to sit. To prevent her from feeling awkward sitting with her father for the first time, he pulled her to one side of the table and gestured for Li Rui and Lu Zhouxing to sit across from them. As for Yu Hongwei, he sat at one end of the table, next to Li Rui.
Although this dinner was a family dinner, it was as sumptuous and delicious as a five-star restaurant. There were eight dishes, two cold and six hot, all of which were the housekeeper's specialties. For example, there were husband and wife lung slices, vegetarian roast goose, and wine-scented roasted carp. Let's not talk about the other dishes, just the vegetarian roast goose. Although it was a vegetarian dish and the main ingredients were commonly seen in the market such as soybean skin and enoki mushrooms, there were more than ten cooking procedures and seven or eight types of seasonings. When it was finally taken out of the pot, the oil was overflowing and the aroma was very appetizing. There was no need to taste it, just the smell was enough to enjoy it.
The eight dishes were all exquisite. In order to make these eight dishes, the nanny had been busy since the morning and had only just finished. There was only one purpose for her to put in so much effort, and that was to let He Suli eat and drink well. Of course, Lu Qingman had other intentions as well. He hoped to use delicious food to entice He Suli's mouth and appetite, so that she would have a better impression of the Lu Family and make the decision to marry into the Lu Family faster.
It could be said that in order to achieve this goal, Lu Qingman had done everything possible. He had even lowered the threshold of the Lu Family's family.
After the dinner started, Li Rui got up and poured wine for his father-in-law and He Suli. As for himself, he drank beer with Yu Hongwei. Qingman was pregnant, so naturally, he did not touch a single drop of alcohol. Everyone toasted each other, chatted, and laughed. The atmosphere was friendly and warm, as if they were a family having dinner.
Li Rui and Lu Qingman were secretly observing He Suli's reaction so that they could plan their next activities. If she was in a good mood, then they could do whatever they wanted. However, if she showed a tired or impatient attitude, then they would have to send her home as soon as possible after dinner. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would not be able to get married and would offend someone. What made the husband and wife very relieved was that He Suli did not show any signs of abnormality. She was either chatting and laughing, or eating and drinking elegantly. There was always a satisfied smile on her face, which showed that she was still very happy up until now.
This was also due to the performance of Old Master Lv Zhouxing. After he learned about He Suli's temperament and preferences through conversation, he deliberately said something that she liked to hear. From time to time, he used humorous words to make her laugh, which kept her mood at a very good level.
