He listened to Shi Mengwan’s recount of the interesting happenings that occurred during Su Qingsang’s time in college and as a post-graduate student.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe remained silent, and no one talked to him.
From time to time, Huo Jinyao would ask him briefly about work-related matters. He answered a little distractedly.
He thought about his purpose in coming here today and his gaze fell on Xiang Caiping. She was looking at Su Qingsang at the moment and listening to her description of some interesting interns in the hospital she worked in.
The edges of her eyes crinkled as she smiled benignly. She could only see her daughter and was giving her whole-hearted attention.
“I’m so full.” Shi Mengwan patted her stomach. “Woe is me. I’m going to be two kilograms heavier tomorrow.”
“Judging by your figure, you can afford to put on even five kilograms.” Shi Mengwan was not skinny, but she was definitely not plump.
“Don’t say that. The weather is turning frosty, and I can feel that I’m gaining weight around my waist. I will have to go on a diet if I continue eating like this.”
“Young lady, what diet are you talking about? You don’t need it.” Xiang Caiping gazed at both women. “Neither of you is allowed to go on any diet. Your health is of the utmost importance. Mengwan, especially you. I’ll whip up some nice dishes the next time you come over.”
“Auntie, you’re going to fatten me up like a pig if you keep up with this.”
“No pig could be so beautiful.” Xiang Caiping’s amusing banter caused Shi Mengwan to erupt into laughter. The traces of a smile on Su Qingsang’s face also became more apparent.
“I’m feeling full too.”
Su Qingsang stood upright and noticed that Su Chenghui was still in his seat. She switched her gaze to Huo Jinyao.
“Well, shall we go for a walk and try to digest some of our hearty meal?”
“I’ll go too.” Shi Mengwan stood up as well. “Let’s go together. Do you mind me being the third wheel?”
“I do mind.”
“I don’t mind.”
Su Qingsang could not help but glare at Huo Jinyao. “What’s up with you?”
Huo Jinyao cleared his throat. “It’s getting late, so Mengwan must be going to head back to rest.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShi Mengwan blinked and turned to look in Xiang Caiping’s direction. “Auntie, look. I’m being ostracised.”
“Auntie will not neglect you. Stay and keep me company.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Shi Mengwan placed a palm over her chest and kept her mock look of hurt on her face. “However, I’ve been injured, so I’m going to head home and nurse this bruised heart of mine alone.”
“Mengwan...”
“Mother, we’ll head down first.”
Su Qingsang could not bear to stay around any longer. She could see that Su Chenghui had something to say to Xiang Caiping about. It was better to give them some privacy.
“Qingsang.”
“Mother,” Su Qingsang placed her hand over Xiang Caiping’s and pulled herself away. “We’ll just take a walk in the neighborhood. It’s alright.”
“I...”
“Auntie, I’ll be leaving too.” Shi Mengwan stood up. “Actually, I can’t bear to be the third wheel. I still have to head home to continue with my sketches.”
The three young people left. Sister Lu deftly cleared the dishes, washed them and left too.
Within thirty minutes, only Su Chenghui and Xiang Caiping were left in the apartment.
