I never expected my stepfather to do this. At least for the past three years, he has been a very open and kind father. Until the night before Wen Jichen and I left Hong Kong, I changed this idea.

"Hello uncle, my name is An Ruoyi." The face in front of me that I was so familiar with was blooming with a sunny and kind smile, and he said politely to his stepfather.

When I looked up and saw her, I almost felt my heartbeat stopping in that moment.

Since Chu Peiran's incident, I thought I would never meet her again in my life...

The stepfather seemed to like An Ruoyi very much. He smiled elegantly and nodded to An Ruoyi. At the huge round dining table, An Ruoyi and I sat opposite Wen Jichen and I.

Life always changes ways to make you feel rushing, just like this moment.

An Ruoyi is a natural performer. At least she can maintain that kind of gentleness and decentness when facing me now, which is something I can never do.

Wen Jichen's face beside me had turned into a pig's liver, and his eyes were staring at An Ruoyi tightly.

"Is this... Liu Xiangsi right? Haha, the first time we met, I felt very close to her!" An Ruoyi opened her eyes, blinked, and smiled at me.

Around him is An Ruoyi's father, An Zhong. When he is middle-aged, his fat appearance makes him look a little honest. "This is how our daughter is. She will fall in love with everyone she sees!" He laughed loudly.

I frowned and looked at the smile. Even though he tried his best to show his kindness, it still made me feel creepy, or... his fake smile made me feel very uncomfortable.

"A Chen is the same child! He is getting more handsome as he grows! Are you studying in Beijing now? I heard that he is studying finance, so is our Ruoyi. In the future, the two families will be able to communicate with each other, right?" An Ruoyi's mother also spoke. Compared to her father, this middle-aged woman always has a kind of oppressive aura.

As soon as she said that, the people at the dinner table could no longer hear the meaning of the inside, which was a fool.

I dare not look at An Ruoyi, nor do I dare to look at anyone. Because I know that as soon as I look up and look at An Ruoyi, my eyes will be filled with hatred and fierceness... I can't do anything different like any of them.

"Auntie, thank you for your kindness." Wen Jichen smiled slightly, nodded slightly to An Ruoyi, and said politely.

The movement in my hand stopped and looked up at Wen Jichen in confusion.

Seeing Wen Jichen's relationship with each other, the stepfather smiled heartily: "Yes, yes, the two families are walking around more. This kid doesn't even have a serious girlfriend now!"

"Who said no? Uncle, don't you know. I used to be an alumni with Brother Wen Jichen! I was also a high school student of the same class as Liu Xiangsi..." An Ruoyi smiled sweetly and her voice was also sweet.

"Oh? Does A Chen have a girlfriend?" My mother also became interested.

I subconsciously looked up at An Ruoyi and found that the smile on her face became deeper and more fake, and a vicious and complacent light was reflected in her eyes.

Wen Jichen looked at An Ruoyi with a clear cold look in his eyes. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Of course I know who she is talking about...

"Haha, I can't say this... Otherwise, Brother Wen Jichen would blame me!" An Ruoyi chuckled, and she spoke to her brother at once. Every time she talked about Wen Jichen, she would always look at me deliberately.

My heart was beating like thunder. If I were on this dining table, I exposed everything...

"How could I blame you? But... I like you very much." Wen Jichen smiled, and his slender and fair fingertips rubbed the goblet in front of him.

My brows became even tighter. Every word from Wen Jichen was like a knife cutting in my heart, and it was as painful as salt.

When the stepfather and An Ruoyi's parents heard Wen Jichen say this, their faces showed a satisfied expression. After all, An Ruoyi and Wen Jichen are both adults, and Wen Jichen first said it here, making the two families think that the originally bumpy things have become much smoother.

An Ruoyi seemed to have not expected Wen Jichen to say this. She also looked at Wen Jichen with a little love.

I looked at her and suddenly felt sick. The dry retching made my tears almost flow out...

"But I heard that Ruoyi had bad rumors in high school..." Wen Jichen frowned slightly, his eyes were filled with annoyance, and hesitated even more.

After hearing this, An Zhong finally couldn't pretend. His slightly fat face turned a little colder, and his tone lowered a lot: "What's the credible thing about the rumors? Besides, Ruoyi's future must be your Wen Jichen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, my chopsticks fell to the ground.

The faces of the stepfather and mother were also a little ugly, only Wen Jichen still looked at An Zhong with a smile.

"A child's jokes, so don't take it seriously! Ah Chen, just like Uncle An said, don't listen to the messy words said outside!" Mom first taught a few lessons.

"Besides, these horoscopes are still a little bit. No one can tell what will happen in the future. It is really not something that a person who has been engaged in business wars like you can say. If A Chen and Ruoyi really get along, that's good. But if the child is unwilling, we can't force him, right?" The mother looked at An Zhong with a smile, but her voice was extremely cold.

After hearing what my mother said, the stepfather couldn't help but smile.

With my mother's words in her mouth, the three people sitting opposite her faces were a little ugly. Seeing that her mother's tone had started to be rude, An Zhong smiled and said, "I'm really drunk and talk nonsense! Everyone is happy to get together today. Lao Wen and I have worked together for many years. Come on, let's have a drink." As he said that, he raised his glass and stood up.

...

I didn't want to see what the people at the dinner table said anymore, but just drank the wine on my own. Wen Jichen calmly pressed my hand to prevent me from taking the wine. I frowned and looked at him. The father and daughter opposite were gone, and I didn't know what to do. "I'll go to the bathroom..." I blushed and said to Wen Jichen.

I was a little dizzy when I drank, but I was still awake.

I walked towards the bathroom with steady steps not to let myself fall.

"Dad...you said...you said Wen Jichen would marry me?" Before he could walk to the bathroom, An Ruoyi's crying voice came out.

There are very few people in this high-end club, and I'm afraid there are less than ten people using this bathroom all night.

I calmed down and covered my mouth and carried it over.

"Why don't you marry? It's all your fault for doing this embarrassing thing! The Wen family has no intention of admitting it now. Fortunately, Lao Wen and I have more than ten years of cooperative relationship. It's best if you get along well with Wen Jichen. It's best to make him willing to marry you! Even if you don't want to, I have a way to let him marry you!" An Zhong snorted coldly and said.
