Chapter 1230: Chapter 718: Playing Dumb to Win Over the Father-in-law, Earnest Feelings Fed to the Wild Boy (Three Updates)Guandong Si Family

Tang Wan and the others simply came to give their regards and planned to leave. They didn’t expect ”Miss Xiao” to actually be Miss Si but still didn’t plan to stay long. However, You Yunzhi had already decided to keep them for lunch.

Upon hearing that her daughter knew Tang Wan, there was no way she’d let them go.

Their overwhelming hospitality left the group with no choice but to stay.

The Si family’s dining table was a rectangular six-seater. Si Yushan sat at the head, while You Yunzhi and Si Qingxiao naturally sat together on one side. Being family, Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan sat on the same side.

Jiang Chengsi naturally took the only remaining spot, sitting next to Si Qingxiao.

”Chengsi, Jinsang, do you drink? Have a drink with your uncle,” You Yunzhi said with a smile.

”I have to take care of the kids, so I’ll pass,” Jiang Jinsang politely declined.

”Then Chengsi can drink; come sit here,” You Yunzhi encouraged warmly. ”Usually no one drinks with him at home, sit here, and it’ll be easier for you two to drink together.”

Si Qingxiao froze for a moment, thinking if her mother swapped places with him, then...

”Auntie, it’s not necessary,” Jiang Chengsi planned to refuse as well.

”Make yourself at home; there’s no need to be polite here with Auntie. Sit here,” You Yunzhi insisted, leaving him no chance to refuse and placed him forcibly beside her daughter.

”Can you handle white wine?” Si Yushan asked as he appraised him.

”Yes, I can.” Jiang Chengsi, facing him, was not as casual as before, but rather exceptionally polite.

...

While drinking, You Yunzhi didn’t eat much but instead held Jiang Xiaowai, continuously teasing and asking about how Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang met.

”... Although there was talk of breaking off the engagement, the fact that they are together now shows fate. Having never met before and only hearing from elders, surely, there were some reservations in their hearts. Kids are like that, just like ours; once they heard we were introducing a partner, she panicked,” You Yunzhi chuckled.

”Mom,” Si Qingxiao whispered, wondering why her mother brought this up.

Tang Wan laughed, ”She’s quite young; why rush to introduce her to someone?”

”You wouldn’t believe it, she’s in her twenties and hasn’t been in a relationship,” You Yunzhi revealed.

”Mom!” Si Qingxiao frowned. Why was her mother focusing on her issues?

Jiang Chengsi sipped his wine, merely raising an eyebrow without comment. However, Jiang Jinsang made a remark that made him want to cough up blood:

”It’s not that bad; Fourth Brother is almost thirty and hasn’t dated either.”

”...”

Jiang Chengsi gritted his teeth: Can you shut up?

He truly resented this kid now; why provoke him when he clearly already knew her identity yet remained tight-lipped?

Why not just tell me directly?

Although Jiang Chengsi enjoyed nightlife, he maintained self-respect; his sole romantic scandal involved—

Qi Zeyan!

The Si couple assumed he wouldn’t mess around outside, yet hadn’t realized he’d never dated. Their expressions resembled watching an exotic creature.

A guy managing a club, surrounded by the nightlife, yet still a lifelong singleton?

Isn’t that strange?

”Why haven’t you ever dated?” You Yunzhi asked with a smile.

”If it’s not true love, I don’t want to casually settle, which wouldn’t be fair to the girl,” Jiang Chengsi replied honestly, stemming partly from his family background.

”After all these years, have you never met someone who moved you?” Si Yushan pressed further.

Si Qingxiao kept her head down, eating, yet her heartbeat grew erratic...

Since Jiang Chengsi sat beside her, she’d felt uneasy—not uncomfortable, but a bit tense. She had sent him many messages, but he hadn’t replied.

When her father posed this question, an unexplainable tension mounted.

Jiang Chengsi chuckled openly:

”There is someone; I confessed, but she hasn’t agreed yet.”

Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang paused, held a god’s-eye perspective.

Though it took them a moment to process, Jiang Chengsi’s directness was typical. Denial wouldn’t suit him.

Her heart skipped a beat; she glanced at him while Jiang Chengsi stared at his father, Si Yushan, as they clinked glasses.
