Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Beneath the dining table, Jin Nian’s leg, which was hanging in mid-air, was suddenly hooked by someone. She was shocked, but she did not dare to show it too obviously. She could only glare at Lu An fiercely. She was wearing slippers, and the other party hooked her ankle with his foot, not letting her move. At the dining table, Lu An was chatting and laughing with Jin Chengwen. There was nothing unusual about it.

“Lu An, are you drunk?” Jin Nian could not help but ask. She wanted to push the leg away, but she did not dare to move too much. Lu An said that he did not drink much. He looked calm on the outside, but in private, he held Jin Nian’s hand tightly.

Jin Nian broke out in a cold sweat. She was afraid that her parents would find out what they were doing under the table. However, she was not as strong as Lu An. Her ears were red from anxiety. Those who did not know better would think that she was drunk.

Lu An was too bad. She kicked Lu An lightly, but his hand grabbed her ankle. She gritted her teeth at the man. Just as she was about to fly into a rage, a slightly cold and hard object suddenly appeared in her hand. It was Lu An who had placed it in her palm. The man opposite her stared at her with an indescribable look in his eyes, but he let go of her hand.

Lu An had just let go when Jin Nian retracted her hand in fear. She placed her hand under the table and unfolded it, only to find that there was a ring in her palm.

It was a simple circle with a small but exquisite diamond embedded in the middle. It was so low-key that it was not Lu An’s style. Jin Nian did not dare to look at it and quickly put it in her pocket, afraid that Teacher Tan would find out.

Jin Chengwen was so happy that he insisted on pulling Lu An to drink a few more glasses. Fortunately, Teacher Tan came to the rescue in time: “Enough. Do you have to get yourself drunk before it’s over?!”

After Lu An finished the glass of wine, he also said that he was almost done drinking. After the wine was finished, the two men wanted to eat some food. Jin Nian and Teacher Tan had already finished their meal, but they did not leave the table. They just stayed with them. The four of them took this opportunity to chat. While they were chatting, the topic suddenly changed to Jin Nian and Jiang Qingchi.

Teacher Tan still could not swallow her anger: “I can only say that he deserved it. Now that the internet is in an uproar, he should have thought that he would be despised by thousands of people when he plagiarized the original author’s idea. Their whole family is disgusting!”

Jin Chengwen did not comment, but he secretly poured wine into his glass while Teacher Tan was complaining. The more Teacher Tan spoke, the angrier she got: “Lu An, you don’t know. I don’t care what outsiders say or do. The people who made me the angriest were my own family members. Now, they’re saying that it’s fortunate that Jin Nian did not marry into such a family. When the engagement was broken off, what did they say about my child…”

“Mom, it’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

“Right, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. I’ll go and make some cold dishes.”

“I’ll help you wash the vegetables.”

Lu An also wanted to get up to help, but Jin Chengwen pressed him back into the chair: “The two of them can do it. You drink more with Uncle.”

“Dad, don’t drink too much.”

Jin Chengwen held his belly and laughed: “No wonder Teacher Tan said that you have a sweet mouth. You really have a sweet mouth.”

Lu An smiled and called him again.

After the wine, Jin Chengwen was much smarter than usual, and his eyes were sharp: “Don’t call me that. Think carefully, what is your identity when you call me dad?”

“What identity do you want me to use?”

“I can’t make the decision. It depends on you.” Jin Chengwen put down the wine in his hand and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. He then straightened his expression and said to Lu An, “Are the two of you dating behind our backs? We saw it last night.”

Lu An had promised Jin Nian not to say anything, so he just smiled shyly and poured himself some more wine. After all, Tan Siyun had lived for 50 years. She had guessed that the two of them were in a relationship last night, so she had called them back today with the excuse of having dinner. This made her even more certain that her guess was right.

However, she probably would never have thought that Lu An would really become her family’s legitimate son-in-law.

“Teacher Tan and I watched you grow up. We all know that you’re a good child.”

Lu An knew that he had something else to say, so he did not say anything. He just waited seriously.

“You know about Niannian breaking off the engagement, and now you two are together again. To be honest, it was a little rushed. As for her, she has always been a crazy person since she was young, but Lu An, you can’t be muddle-headed.”

“Yes,” replied Lu An respectfully. Ever since Jin Chengwen opened his mouth, he had straightened his sitting posture and listened to the elder’s teachings with a serious expression..
