s to eat the dishes made by his wife.""When I get back, I'll cook for you every day!" Tong Yimo looked at Leng Zhujing, hugging his waist with both hands and said with a smile.Leng Zhujing grinned and...Upon hearing this, Qin Nianxia raised her eyes once more, her gaze meeting the man's pair of sharp black eyes.

Given such a handsome, charming, and courteous man, she should be smitten. However, what she was thinking more about was how she had gotten herself into this predicament.

If she refused this man, she would have to face being taken away by the plainclothes guards of the Yan Kingdom and forced to reveal the whereabouts of the lord. If she didn't refuse, wouldn't she have to spend the night at this man's house tonight

Qin Nianxia hesitated for a moment, then nodded resolutely, saying in a gentle voice: "Thank you."

Although the two only spoke in a few words, they were communicating in the language of Yan Kingdom.

At this moment, the door creaked open with a groan. A voice from the doorway, belonging to an elderly man, boomed, "Go quickly and tell the old master that the young master is back!"

Qin Nianxia, upon hearing this, instantly raised her head with a curious expression, looking at the man.

Little Master!

This man isn't from Yan Country! He can speak the language of Yan Country!

"Watch out for the stairs," the man gestured with his hand, offering a warm reminder.

Qin Nianxia decided to take a risk. She would go into the house with this man first, and then find an opportunity to escape.

As Qin Nianxia stepped through the gate, she glanced back. Those plainclothes guards from Yan Guo were still standing there, which really gave her a headache.

After entering the gate, Qin Nianxia silently followed the man beside her. She dared not look around, feeling a bit apprehensive and uneasy in her heart.

I don't know how long they walked, but Qin Nianxia followed the man into a large house. As she crossed the stone threshold, she carefully lifted her skirt.

The man reached out and shielded her in front of him, as if to prevent her from falling.

However, just as she inadvertently raised her eyes, she was startled.

Her stepmother, Song Erqin, and her stepsister, Song Yunxi, were actually sitting in the hall.

"Grandfather, I'm home." The man ushered her into the house with gentlemanly care, afraid her long skirt would trip her up, while simultaneously greeting the elderly man seated on the main seat in the hall. He was bald, his eyebrows and mustache streaked with grey.

The man paused, then greeted a noblewoman sitting beside him: "Grandma, I'm back."

"Xiaochen, who is this person beside you" Leng Yanting asked curiously.

It wasn't just Leng Yan Ting who was curious, almost everyone in the hall looked at Qin Nian Xia with curiosity when they saw her.

Leng Yanchen unconsciously glanced at Qin Nianxia, just about to say "she's just his friend" when his gaze inadvertently landed on Song Yunxi.

The next second, the words on his lips changed: “Grandpa and Grandma, she’s my girlfriend.”

"What"

Leng Yan Ting and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Leng, looked at each other in surprise.

Even Song Yunxi and Song Erqin were simultaneously embarrassed.

It's strange that he invited both his girlfriend and her mother over since he already has a girlfriend. What was the meaning behind that

Song Yunxi awkwardly pursed her red lips, but the hand resting on her knee clenched unconsciously.

Back then, Leng Yanchen used his own sister as a pretense to politely decline her request. She only recently learned from the old Master Leng that Xing'er was his biological sister.

Now, he has brought another woman back, embarrassing her once again.

She only rejected him on their first date, didn't she Is it worth treating her this way afterwards

Song Yunxi really didn't expect that Leng Yanchen would be such a petty man!

Qin Nianxia also looked at Leng Yanchen in disbelief, seriously suspecting that this man thought she didn't understand Chinese and deliberately said so.

So, he invited her to his place not for shelter, but probably to "convince" the elders, right

Song Erqin initially called her, saying he wanted to bring her to the dinner party. Could it be that he wanted to bring her here to accompany her sister-in-law on a "blind date"

It's done!

If her father knew she had messed up her stepsister's wedding, he would probably beat her again when she went home.

Qin Nianxia was tormented inside, debating whether or not to expose this man's true nature.

"Madam Leng, since your grandson already has a girlfriend, then there's no need for us to stay here any longer." Song Erqin stood up from the high chair somewhat irritably, but her tone of voice was still polite.

Today, the Cold family invited the mother and daughter over to discuss the marriage of their two children.

Lady Leng was caught off guard by Leng Yanchen's actions. She quickly got up and apologized to Song Erqin: "Mrs. Song, I'm really sorry. My father-in-law is very fond of your little Xi. As elders, we didn't pay attention to whether Xiao Chen already had a girlfriend."

"I can only say that our families were destined not to be together. Today, we won't stay for dinner together." Song Erqin said faintly, her heart actually aching with pain.

After all, the Leng family is a big and influential family. It's an honor for their daughter to be favored by Old Master Leng; they are the ones who have climbed high by marrying into the Leng family.

But I didn't expect it to turn out this way!

Song Yunxi gracefully rose to her feet, curtseying politely to Leng Yanting and Madam Leng before bidding them farewell.

When she stood up, her eyes subconsciously glanced at Leng Yanchen and then at the girl in purple. Her heart suddenly felt uneasy.teasingly saying, "Hey, you wouldn't be jealous, would you Your grandfather picked a fiancee for you, and now she's being pursued by another wealthy young master.""What kind of man is Cao Yinghao, don...
