Inside the hotel private room

The Lin Family parents probably didn’t expect so many people from the Jiang Family to come all at once, especially with Jiang Zhenhuan being a person full of presence, it’s inevitably a bit overwhelming.

”Uncle, Auntie, let me introduce everyone...” Jiang Shiyi took the initiative to make introductions.

The elderly woman is quite easygoing, without any airs, both sides politely discussed who should take the head seat before settling down.

It’s just the first meeting, inevitably a bit awkward, especially knowing how Jiang Shiyi got caught, just as the elderly woman was pondering how to break the ice, Xiaowai suddenly reached out towards Lin Luyou.

”Ah—” The little guy was in Tang Wan’s arms, and Lin Luyou happened to be sitting opposite her.

”Do you know your aunt? You’re going to let your aunt hold you?” Fan Mingyu teased with a smile.

The word ’aunt’ made Lin Luyou’s ears turn red.

This kid Xiaowai can be quite stubborn, waving his little hands as if he wanted to break free from Tang Wan to get to Lin Luyou. Left with no choice, Tang Wan simply sat beside Lin Luyou.

Lin Luyou had gone to the hospital due to a stomach ache and had held Jiang Xiaowai. The little guy was exceptionally quiet in her arms.

”This child usually isn’t willing to be held by just anyone, I’m surprised how much he likes her.” The elderly woman laughed.

The Lin Family parents are naturally gentle, and seeing Jiang Xiaowai looking like a little rice dumpling, white and cute, they reached out to tease him a bit.

Jiang Xiaowai usually doesn’t care about anyone’s face, for example, recently he just likes to lie down and sleep with his butt towards Jiang Jinsang.

Jiang Jinsang was worried this little guy would start crying and fussing again, but surprisingly today he was well-behaved.

”By the way, Yanting, give Zhixian a call, she’s picking up the kids, why isn’t she here yet?” Fan Mingyu looked at Jiang Yanting.

Shen Zhixian went to the kindergarten to pick up Jiangjiang and Taotao, but hasn’t shown up yet.

”I already called, she should be here any moment, I’ll go outside to meet her.”

...

Once Jiangjiang and Taotao arrived, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed.

Jiang Zhenhuan didn’t expect that just like last time with the Si Family, reliance on the kids for diplomacy was needed; adult emotions wouldn’t affect the kids, plus the Lin Family parents’ gentle nature quickly made the atmosphere harmonious.

The dinner was not about discussing marriages, just a meeting, with neither Lin Luyou nor Jiang Shiyi being the focus of attention.

Initially quite nervous, Lin Luyou quickly relaxed as the atmosphere in the private room was pleasant.

On the sea, under a bright sun, with no wind, no waves.

Jiang Chengsi was sitting on the deck fishing, while Si Qingxiao sat in the shade sipping coconut juice, constantly observing him. He isn’t particularly patient, yet here he was trying sea fishing all morning...

Not a single fish, not even a little shrimp, had been caught.

And at this moment, he pulled out his phone to message Jiang Jinsang: [Xiaowu, how’s it going on my brother’s end?]

[Everything’s going smoothly.]

[There haven’t been any surprises?]

[With you not there, naturally it’s smooth sailing.]

[...]

Jiang Chengsi fumed, what does that imply? A suggestion he might cause trouble?

He frowned, what’s going on, sitting here for so long without catching a single fish, what’s the appeal of fishing anyway, not like driving where you get that thrilling, instant rush.

The main thing is, he couldn’t understand why someone in Beijing would dig a pond at home specifically for fishing, how could young people be into such things.

Si Qingxiao walked over to him, ”Fourth Brother, haven’t caught a single fish yet?”

Jiang Chengsi has a competitive nature, especially in front of his wife, can’t lose face, ”Just wait, I’ll definitely catch a fish.”

”Do you know why you haven’t caught a fish?” Si Qingxiao squatted beside him, propping her chin as she looked up at him.

”Why? You know about fishing?”

”Not much, but I know fishing requires bait, you’ve been fishing for so long, don’t you realize you haven’t put any bait on the hook?”

”...”

The fishing gear was discovered by chance on the yacht, probably from Si Yushan, Jiang Chengsi was just a bit frustrated, thinking fishing might calm him down, he seemed to have completely forgotten about the bait.

Holding the fishing rod, he arranged the line and even performed a fancy cast in front of Si Qingxiao, full of swagger.
