The courtyard.

In the Huo’s family living room, Mrs. Huo put down the phone, “Wen Xiu, we can start dinner now.”

“Aunt, it’s still early, let’s wait a little longer.” The speaker is a middle-aged beautiful woman, sitting next to her daughter Xiang Ranxin.

She is pretty and has an elegant temperament, and her white dress just makes her look even more graceful.

Mrs. Huo waved her hand with a smile, “No need, I called in the morning and was told that he could only return in the afternoon. So, we’ll eat first and when Ashen returns, let him chat with Ranxin.”

Hearing this, Xiang Ranxin blushed and hung her head in silence.

Mrs. Huo was pleased by her shy and modest demeanor.

The eldest daughter of the Xiang family was twenty-five, beautiful and smart, and had excellent conditions.

The two families had already privately agreed on their marriage, planning to engage her to the second son of the Huo family, Huo Nuanyang.

However, ever since Huo Nuanyang was promoted within team X, he had been rarely at home and the two younger generation had no chance to see each other.

On the other hand, Huo Jingshen had been frequently coming and going from the courtyard ever since returning to the country, inadvertently attracting Mrs. Xiang’s attention…

Mrs. Huo thought to herself, whether it was Huo Jingshen or Huo Nuanyang, they were her grandsons all the same. Huo Jingshen was even two years older than Huo Nuanyang, believing in the saying “established at thirty,” if Xiang Ranxin could marry Huo Jingshen, it would be a good thing.

So she called Huo Jingshen early in the morning to gauge his thoughts about marriage.

To her surprise, Huo Jingshen not only readily admitted to wanting to get married but even said that the sooner the better, and asked her to quickly choose an auspicious date.

Mrs. Huo was delighted and immediately contacted Mrs. Xiang, leading to today’s matchmaking banquet.

Amid the laughter and chatter, everyone got up and moved to the dining room.

Just as they settled down, a servant hurried in to report, “Master, Madam, the eldest young master is back.”

“What a coincidence?” Mrs. Huo quickly stood up again.

When Mrs. Huo arrived in the living room, she froze at the sight.

Huo Jingshen was standing in the entrance, and next to him… was a young girl!

She looked no more than eighteen or nineteen, with delicate features, a clean and white face, and at first glance, she looked like a beautiful porcelain doll.

“Ashen, who is this?”

Huo Jingshen’s words shocked everyone, “My wife.”

“What?” Mrs. Huo’s volume suddenly went up.

The expressions of the people behind her also changed in an instant.

Su Wanwan was also stunned:

Huo Jingshen glanced at everyone with a deep and calm gaze. “Call them.”

Su Wanwan blinked her eyes.

Call who?

It wasn’t until he gave her a squeeze on her hand that she got the hint, immediately opened her little mouth crisply and spoke, “Hello, Grandpa! Hello, Grandma!”

She then looked at the elegantly dressed mother and daughter duo.

After a brief pause, she continued to say in a crisp voice, “Hello, Auntie! Hello, Sister!”

With these titles, she shouldn’t be wrong, right?

Who would have expected Mrs. Xiang to look even more upset at her words.

As for Xiang Ranxin, the awkwardness was added to the inconvenience.

But compared to this fresh and cute young girl, isn’t she, who is already twenty-five, just a sister?

Both Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo didn’t look too satisfied, which made Su Wanwan quite anxious. She quickly turned to Huo Jingshen.

Did she address the wrong people?

Huo Jingshen was watching her, but he asked, “Are you hungry?”

“Not hungry.”

Just as the words left Su Wanwan’s mouth, a rumble resounded from her stomach.

Because everyone else was silent, the sound echoed clearly in the living room.

Damn awkward!

Su Wanwan’s mouth twitched.

Did it need to be this embarrassing?

She was thinking about making a good first impression on the elders by her entrance.

“Hm.” Huo Jingshen gave a very short chuckle. Then he stopped a servant who was standing by. “Aunt Xiu, is lunch ready?”

“It… it’s ready, Young Master.” The servant barely stuttered out her reply and then quickly walked into the dining room with a tray.

This place was a bit weird, she should leave sooner.

Huo Jingshen seemed oblivious as he held Su Wanwan’s small hand and walked into the living room.

The other four people remained silent, the atmosphere eerie.

After a moment, Mrs. Xiang spoke awkwardly, “I’m sorry, but something just came up at home. I and Ranxin will leave first.”

Mrs. Huo was also embarrassed, “Then… I’ll see you off.”

“There’s no need, no need…”

“We should, we should…”

Su Wanwan was bewildered.

Well, apparently she called the wrong people. The mother and daughter duo were not Huo Jingshen’s relatives, but guests.

Before she could think further…

“Ashen.” Mr. Huo grimaced, “Come with me to the study.”

“Okay, Grandpa.” Huo Jingshen respectfully agreed, then turned to Su Wanwan and whispered, “Wait here, I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.” Su Wanwan nodded.

She looked obedient and well-behaved.

As expected, Mr. Huo shot her a glance from the corner of his eyes, but then quickly turned around and walked away.

When Huo Jingshen followed him into the study and closed the door, Su Wanwan finally let out a sigh of relief.

She had mistakenly expected the Huo family to be simply nouveau riche who ran a company and did business, richer and more powerful than the Xing Family, but she hadn’t expected the family background to be so complex, and living in a courtyard that one could only see in the news.

As she entered, the heavily guarded look of the security guards almost made her feel like she had traveled through time.

“Third young master.”

There was suddenly some movement at the entrance.

Another member of the Huo family’s arrived?

Su Wanwan immediately straightened her posture.

This time, she must make a good impression.

The footsteps of the newcomer grew louder and closer with each step, and then…

“Su! Wan! Wan!”
