“Aiyaya, Little Tingting is really outstandingly beautiful! She looks so graceful and dignified. Very good! Come in quickly and let’s talk!”
Rong Lihua welcomed them into the house and introduced them to Xue Yating.
After introducing An Zhenguo, she also introduced An Zhitong. Rong Lihua said, “Tingting, you can follow your uncle’s seniority and call him Auntie Tong.”
“What aunt? I don’t want to be an aunt!”
An Zhitong’s face darkened. She and Xue Yating looked to be about the same age, but Xue Yating had called her “little aunt.” It made her look old!
Rong Lihua spoiled An Zhitong very much and said, “Okay, okay, okay. You guys are about the same age. Just call me by my name.”
After the introduction, Rong Lihua held Xue Yating’s hand and asked, “Tingting, you have to stay at our house for a while longer this time. I’ll let your uncle take you to Rongcheng for a tour.”
“Okay.”
“How is your father?”
“Not too bad.”
As they chatted, Rong Lihua and the others did not know that the two of them had eloped. They thought that Xue Yating had come to Rong City for a vacation.
Rong Lihua welcomed her warmly and asked the servants to prepare a VIP room for her.
“Tingting, just stay here and have fun during the day. Just treat this place like your own home. Don’t stand on ceremony. If you need anything, just tell… grandma, okay?”
Even though Rong Lihua called herself “Grandma”, she was still a senior. It would be inappropriate if she did not call her that.
“Got it. Goodnight, Madam.”
Xue Yating was not that ignorant. After all, she was not her real grandmother. Calling her grandmother would make her old, so she still called her “Madam.”
Rong Lihua smiled. She liked Xue Yating more and more. She felt that Xue Yating was very educated and was a good child. She was much more sensible than her daughter.
Just like that, Xue Yating landed in the An family home. At night, An Xianming came to look for her.
After closing the door, An Xianming said worriedly, “Tingting, why didn’t you listen to my arrangements? Now that you’ve told my parents who you are, they treat you like my little niece. What should I say about our relationship next?”
“It’s okay, little uncle. I’m your little niece. Even if you say I’m your girlfriend, they will still find out my name. This is an unchangeable fact.”
Xue Yating felt that it would be better to reveal her identity openly so that she could at least feel at ease.
An Xianming took her hand and sighed. “I just feel that if this is the case, we will have to drag our relationship down again. I want to give you a status as soon as possible. Do you understand, Tingting? You should know what the obstacle between us is.”
“I know. Uncle, from the moment I decided to leave with you, I knew that our future would definitely not be smooth sailing. I was already mentally prepared, but I just didn’t want to mess up your family’s relationship the moment I came to your house. Now that I’m living in the An family with my own identity, I don’t think there’s anything bad about it. At least no one will target me.”
Xue Yating smiled. Since she already knew that she might meet with a bad ending, she might as well be happy for a few days.
“Okay! That’s it for now! I’ll find a chance to talk to my parents.” An Xianming could only respect her choice.
