Chapter 1035: Setting Off with Gu Yanqi!

Gu Yanqi did not know how she had followed him back home; all she knew was that Ning Chen under the moonlight, the tenderness of that moment, was something she had never seen before.

Yet, vaguely, Gu Yanqi felt she had seen it before.

That look of such tenderness lingered in Gu Yanqi's mind, refusing to fade.

Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin had been monitoring the two's movements; upon seeing them go out and return, they too entered the house.

The middle-aged woman had already prepared the meal and called everyone to the dining table to eat.

The middle-aged woman sat opposite the middle-aged man; beside them, Gu Yanqi and Ning Chen sat opposite each other, leaving Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin opposite one another.

The middle-aged woman had cooked a great deal of food; though not particularly lavish, it was exceptionally appetizing.

"You came so hurriedly this time, and the ingredients were insufficient, so I could only prepare it like this. Next time you come, have Gu Yanqi tell me in advance so I can properly entertain you."

As the daily social butterfly, Lin Yi naturally could not let the middle-aged woman feel disappointed.

"Oh my, sister, your cooking is wonderful enough; just looking at it makes my stomach rumble."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the middle-aged woman nearly burst into laughter: "Don't tease me; what sister? I am already so old."

Lin Yi carefully studied the middle-aged woman, then said: "You don't look old at all; I feel you and Gu Yanqi could be sisters. Uncle, you truly have great fortune."

At this, the middle-aged woman was simply beaming with joy; she found Lin Yi pleasing in every way.

Under the table, Facing Huo Jinglin kicked Lin Yi hard.

Lin Yi could not control his voice and accidentally cried out: "Ouch!"

"What's wrong?" the middle-aged woman asked, looking at Lin Yi anxiously.

Lin Yi quickly waved his hands and said: "Nothing, nothing; I just accidentally bit my tongue."

Hearing the sound, Ning Chen looked at the two; Lin Yi immediately sat up straight and smiled at Ning Chen, slightly ingratiatingly.

Meanwhile, Facing Huo Jinglin secretly mocked him.

"Then let us eat quickly; you might just be hungry."

The middle-aged woman urged everyone to pick up their chopsticks.

Seeing everyone begin to eat, Lin Yi glared at Facing Huo Jinglin, his eyes asking: What are you doing!

Facing Huo Jinglin twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at Ning Chen; the meaning was clear: It is not you meeting the parents; why are you so agitated?

Lin Yi opened his mouth but ultimately did not speak to refute; he only wanted to leave a good impression on them, at least to let them know that Ning Chen's team was quite good.

These small actions naturally did not escape the middle-aged man's eyes; he could see that Lin Yi did not truly like his daughter, but only wanted to leave a good impression, merely moving his lips.

And Facing Huo Jinglin was Lin Yi's brake, so to speak, watching over Lin Yi.

Within the team, as the leader, it was naturally Ning Chen.

The middle-aged man watched as Ning Chen tasted every dish; although his face showed no expression, it made the cook feel joyful.

After all, which cook would not hope that the eater likes the food they made?

Seeing his wife's expression become increasingly satisfied as she looked at Ning Chen, the middle-aged man became even more certain of Ning Chen.
