Chi Jiao’s face flushed an intoxicating red. She wanted to ask more, but Lu Xian, who had gotten into the car first, suddenly stuck her head out.
“Aren’t we going back?” Lu Xian looked at them in confusion.
Clearly, she did not know what had happened between the two of them.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have disturbed them.
Chi Jiao looked like a startled little rabbit. She hurriedly pushed Quan Jue away and said loudly, “Let’s go. We’ll leave now.”
With that, she opened the back door and got into the car.
Chi Jiao slammed the car door shut, not daring to look at Quan Jue.
Quan Jue was in a good mood. He got into the front passenger seat and instructed the driver to drive back to the Chi Residence.
When Chi Mingwei heard that Lu Xian was coming, he specially brought Shen Xing along to wait for them.
He immediately stood up to welcome Lu Xian when she arrived.
“Hello, Ms. Lu Xian. I’m Chi Jiao’s father. My name is Chi Mingwei.” Chi Mingwei smiled and reached out for a handshake.
Lu Xian excitedly reached out and held his hand tightly. “Hello, in-law!”
The muscles on Chi Mingwei’s lips twitched. “What… what in-law…?”
“I’m Quan Jue’s mother while you are Jiaojiao’s father. These two children will be married in the future. Aren’t we in-laws? I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days. I’m really sorry. I’ll definitely bring gifts the next time I visit you,” Lu Xian said guiltily.
Actually, Lu Xian had already thought of this issue on the way over.
This was her first time meeting Chi Mingwei. Not only did she come empty-handed, but she was also going to have to stay at his house. Lu Xian felt very embarrassed by this.
However, it was already past midnight and there was nowhere to buy any decent gifts. Lu Xian had no choice and could only apologize first.
Chi Mingwei was startled when she called him her in-law. “Ms. Lu Xian, er…”
“No need to be so formal with me. We are in-laws, after all,” Lu Xian was very enthusiastic as she held onto his hand.
Chi Mingwei kept his mouth shut. He really didn’t know what to say.
Firstly, he thought that Lu Xian looked too young. He could hardly believe that she was the same age as him. Secondly, he always refused to think about his precious daughter getting married to Quan Jue in the future. If he did, wouldn’t he be agreeing to give his daughter away?
Chi Mingwei looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile. “It’s already so late now. Let’s talk tomorrow. Please head upstairs first. Jiaojiao, bring your auntie upstairs.”
Chi Jiao stood at the side and couldn’t help chuckling when she saw her father’s pleading gaze.
However, she quickly regained her composure. She held Lu Xian’s hand and said, “Auntie, let’s go upstairs first.”
Lu Xian felt that it was a pity. Before going upstairs, she told Chi Mingwei with a warm smile. “In that case, I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Alright, go ahead.” Chi Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and watched her go upstairs.
After Lu Xian left, Quan Jue said, “My mother has always been very warm and friendly towards the people she likes.”
