"Is it really true that your older brother is dating?" Gu Mother expressed disbelief.
"Isn’t your older brother the one who only loves his work?" It was Dad Gu who spoke.
"Really, I’m not lying to you, I saw them having dinner and laughing together with my own eyes," Gu Mingi continued texting, "What do you think, Dad and Mom, how about sending a red envelope my way? I have more news!"
Dad Gu, being generous and bold, sent ten red envelopes each worth one hundred yuan, but unfortunately, she was too slow, and all were nabbed by Gu Mingting.
"You can ask directly if you want to know anything." After collecting the red envelopes, Gu Mingting spoke up, leaving Gu Mingi fuming like a pufferfish.
"Son, are you really in a relationship?"
"Who is the person? Send a photo to let us see?"
"We have only just started seeing each other, you will et her when you co back," Gu Mingting sent this ssage and added another, "For now, all I can tell you is that she is a good woman."
"At least tell us her na!"
"Her na is Ye Chan."
"I feel like I’ve heard that na sowhere before?" Dad Gu said dubiously.
"Where? Where?" Gu Mother quickly asked.
"I can’t seem to recall it at the mont," answered Dad Gu.
Gu Mingi fell silent; although she personally liked Ye Chan a lot, she was unsure whether her parents would accept her older brother marrying a divorced woman. She thought it better to et in person to understand, believing that her parents would definitely like Ye Chan once they got to know her over ti.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu are not nagging types, seeing that both Gu Mingting and Gu Mingi dodged their questions, they withdrew their curiosity, just ntioning that they would return if their son decided to marry.
"Smart of you," Gu Mingting sent back the exact amount of red envelopes he had grabbed, and added a few more.
As Gu Mingi collected the red envelopes, she pouted and decided that she must be the bridesmaid at his wedding with Ye Chan, and then she would strongly chip him off.
The one who was most excited about Gu Mingting and Ye Chan dating was Gu Hao; he even couldn’t help smiling while going to visit Ye Qiu.
"What’s up? Xiao Hao, what made you so happy today?" Ye Qiu asked him with a smile.
"Grandpa Ye, I’m going to have a mom," Xiao Hao whispered to Ye Qiu, "I will really, really like Aunt Ye."
Uh? Ye Qiu blinked, not understanding the relationship.
"You say your future new mom is Aunt Ye? Which Aunt Ye? From Grandpa’s family?"
"It’s Aunt Ye Chan! Xiao Hao is really so happy!"
Hearing this news, Ye Qiu’s first reaction was disbelief, but Xiao Hao, being a kid, shouldn’t lie, so did his daughter really get together with Xiao Hao’s dad?
After finishing his work, Ye Qiu made a phone call to Ye Chan.
"Dad, did you need sothing?"
"I made so good dishes today, co over tonight."
"Okay, I’ll co over after work."
Still at work, Ye Chan was unaware of the type of questioning she would face that evening.
"Dad, your cooking skills are really getting better," Ye Chan took a sip of the soup, satisfyingly comnted.
Ye Qiu looked at her upon hearing her words, "So when are you planning to bring President Gu over to try it too?"
Ye Chan coughed loudly, almost choking, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"What, aren’t you dating him?"
Ye Chan carefully glanced at her dad, "How did you know?"
"Never mind how I knew, I just want to know if you two are serious," Ye Qiu asked very seriously.
Ye Chan felt a bit guilty, but she didn’t regret deciding to marry Gu Mingting, and even started to like the idea of spending her life with him after these days together.
Therefore, she put down her soup bowl and said seriously to Ye Qiu, "Dad, we are both serious. When will you have ti? I’ll ask him to co and visit you."
At this mont, even Ye Qiu, who is very strong in spiritual power, did not know if his daughter truly liked Gu Mingting. He knew his daughter wasn’t easily moved, but looking at her expression now, it didn’t seem like she had no feelings for Gu Mingting.
"Then bring him over this Saturday."
"Okay."
Upon receiving the news that Ye Qiu invited him over for dinner on Saturday, Gu Mingting, who was always very steady, beca a bit nervous.
So, he called his recently married Assistant Liang.
"President Gu, is there sothing urgent?" Assistant Liang pulled off his apron and was ready to put on his suit and shoes again.
"No." Gu Mingting paused before asking, "I just wanted to ask how you did when you first went to your father-in-law’s house."
"President Gu, you’re visiting Mr. Ye’s house?" Assistant Liang sounded a bit excited, obviously realizing it himself, and to avoid making his boss feel embarrassed, he quickly added, "Well... my father-in-law and I were neighbors since childhood, so I don’t have much experience to offer you, but I’ve heard from other colleagues that when visiting the father-in-law’s house, you must bring plenty of gifts and be proactive in showing yourself."
"How to show oneself?" Gu Mingting frowned and asked.
Assistant Liang hesitated for a mont: "Probably like offering to cook, wash dishes, sweep the floors, etc., and you must drink the wine poured by the father-in-law without refusal."
After ending the call with Assistant Liang, Gu Mingting felt his advice wasn’t much of a reference, so he called Secretary Li, who is also female.
Not as reserved as Assistant Liang, Secretary Li excitedly said to Gu Mingting, "President Gu, are you finally getting married to Ms. Ye? I tell you, as long as Mr. Ye likes you, passing Mr. Ye’s dad test will be easy. But a man who loves his wife wouldn’t make things difficult for his woman, so President Gu, you definitely should prepare so gifts according to what Mr. Ye’s dad likes, and just nod along with whatever he says. Most importantly, you must show how much you love Ms. Ye."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingting decided to take both pieces of advice, which should keep him from making any big mistakes.
"Ye Chan, what does your dad like?"
As soon as he asked, Ye Chan knew he was probably preparing gifts for Saturday, and quickly said, "No need, I’ll handle that."
"We don’t need to be so formal between us, just tell directly. I don’t want to make your dad worry."
Listening to his deep and steady voice, Ye Chan’s ears felt a bit tingly, then she frowned, "I don’t think my dad has any particular favorites, his hobbies are probably just treating illnesses and cooking!"
"Okay, I got it."
After the call ended, Ye Chan wondered what kind of gifts Gu Mingting would prepare, and finally, the day Saturday arrived.
Seeing the trunk full of boxes of sweet shrimp, cod, fish maw, and abalone, she was dumbfounded, "Why did you buy so much!"
"There are also two pieces of wild ginseng, which I asked a friend to bring over from the Northeast." As he moved these items from the car, Gu Mingting had a slight sweat on his forehead.
Those two pieces of wild ginseng were of excellent quality, and Ye Chan was completely amazed.
