Chapter 1445: Meeting the Parents (6)

Xiao Rou didn’t know what to say, Zhou Chengchen was already chattering again, “Back in university, she used to show affection to my brother, but believe me, my brother didn’t pay her any mind. Later on, nothing came of it, but who would’ve thought she’d show up again now. Little Rou’er, when you go down later, you have to exude the aura of the main wife, okay?”

Xiao Rou couldn’t help but laugh at Zhou Chengchen’s words, and the bit of gloom in her heart dissipated a lot.

“What do you mean, the main wife aura, your choice of words is…”

“It’s true though.”

Xiao Rou smiled without saying anything, the gloom in her heart dissipated, and she realized that she was being quite silly; what’s there to be upset about? Isn’t she well aware of how good Zhou Qi is to her?

The two of them stayed in the room for quite a while, until Zhou Qi came up to call them down for dinner.

“Dinner’s ready, ladies.”

Zhou Qi’s voice was playful as he called out, Zhou Chengchen opened the door and came out with Xiao Rou, the gloom in Xiao Rou’s heart had already dissipated, and she smiled at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi let Zhou Chengchen go first, and he and Xiao Rou walked behind her down the stairs. At the stairway corner, since Zhou Chengchen was in front, she turned first, leaving a momentary blind spot for Zhou Qi and Xiao Rou.

Zhou Qi suddenly grabbed Xiao Rou’s wrist, then wrapped his hand around her head, pulling her towards him. His lips gently kissed her earlobe, “Trust me.”

Just two simple words, very quickly, Zhou Qi released Xiao Rou; in that brief moment, it was as if nothing had happened.

Yet Xiao Rou’s heart was filled with honey.

The two went down, and the others were already seated at the table, leaving only two seats empty.

Zhou Qi’s parents were sitting together, with an empty seat next to them, and beside the empty seat was Song Xinyue.

On the other side, Zhou Chengchen and Xi Siyan were sitting together, with an empty seat next to Zhou Chengchen as well.

Obviously, the seat next to Zhou Chengchen was meant for Xiao Rou, and the one next to Song Xinyue was for Zhou Qi.

Xiao Rou’s gaze met Zhou Chengchen’s for a moment, Zhou Chengchen looked clearly displeased, but since everyone was already seated when she came down, she couldn’t say much.

If it were before, Xiao Rou might have felt uncomfortable, but not now. It’s just a meal, and making a fuss over a seat would be undignified.

They’re all adults; there’s always a sense of propriety in what they do.

Just as Xiao Rou was about to head towards the empty seat next to Zhou Chengchen, she heard Zhou Qi suddenly say, “Add a chair for me here.”

Everyone was taken aback, Song Xinyue’s face changed immediately, but then Zhou Qi jokingly continued, “Young people should hang out with young people.”

Zhou Qi spoke with a casual, unserious tone, obviously joking, making it hard for anyone to criticize.

But… young people hang out together? Song Xinyue is also a young person.

In the end, Zhou Qi added a chair next to Xiao Rou and sat down, the Song family’s parents didn’t look pleased, but since they were at the Zhou Family’s place, they didn’t dare say anything despite their annoyance.

Song Xinyue’s gaze lingered between Zhou Qi and Xiao Rou, she bit her lip, her inherent feminine sensitivity telling her that something was off between those two.

Zhou Chengchen chuckled to herself and silently sent Zhou Qi a message: [Bro, you’re so cool.]

Zhou Chengchen has a straightforward personality, she either likes or dislikes someone. She never liked Song Xinyue much, thought she was too pretentious, and now with Xiao Rou as her friend, she’s undoubtedly taking her side.
