Why so suddenly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui hugged her waist and kissed her on the cheek. “My parents are eager to meet their daughter-in-law, so they came early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian felt a bit nervous, “Oh, that’s why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her tense expression, Gong Sirui playfully flicked her forehead with his fingers, “Don’t be nervous, my parents don’t bite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian took a deep breath, how could she not be nervous? It’s her first time meeting the parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will your parents like me? Should I prepare any gifts for our first meeting? What if they don’t get a good impression of me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui was speechless, “You really don’t need to be nervous. They like you a lot and have wanted to meet you for quite some time. But you always refused. See, you just agreed to have dinner last night, and they flew in overnight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, his parents were in Saudi Arabia, not in Huaxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your parents haven’t met me. How do you know they like me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re part of the same circle, the Presidential Mansion’s daughter. Do you think they wouldn’t recognize you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian thought about it and felt it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui continued, “My parents are easy to get along with. I mentioned you a few times, and they’re eager for me to bring you to meet them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they might have met at some banquets before, introducing a girlfriend to the parents carries a different significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, on her brother’s birthday banquet, she indeed met Gong Sirui’s parents. But at that time, she didn’t know Gong Sirui, so she treated them like elders, and they hadn’t even spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Gong Sirui’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the caller ID and directly put it on speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sirui, where are you? Is Yuexian really coming to dinner? Don’t tease me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui’s mom, although an Arabian, had lived in Huaxia for a long time and spoke fluent Mandarin, albeit with a slight accent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui chuckled, “Mom, you’ve asked several times already. Yuexian is really coming to dinner. Where are you and Dad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll be at the school gate in ten minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then we’ll head out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, it’s still early. Let Yuexian sleep a little more, and we’ll find a nearby café to sit in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui smiled and patted Yan Yuexian’s head, his eyes full of laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if saying, see, I told you my mom really likes you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian beamed with happiness but suddenly thought of something which made her smile fade slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, we’re already up; we’ll change our clothes and head out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!” The voice on the phone was startled, rising a bit, “You’re already up? Son, what did you do to the young lady? Yuexian is still young; you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, what are you thinking? She lives next door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Sirui was speechless, though he did kind of wish for it, but the girl was unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian’s face went completely red. What kind of misunderstanding was this? How did it turn to that topic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really nothing?” Mrs. Gong asked, sounding relieved yet disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, if something happened earlier, it would be fine, too; they might have grandchildren sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. We’ll be heading down shortly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you all come out then; Dad and I are almost there…” At that point, there was some noise on the phone, a bit muffled, followed by Mrs. Gong’s raised voice, “Gong Sirui, tell Yan Yuexian not to come over. I will not agree to let her step into the Gong Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>",617,"2026-06-06T16:22:14.249Z",1,"novelbin.me","bcff9c6ab3a8717b37c6868977ac7c9f6da8145bac25f8f8b846ed97e75d03ea","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1017","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1015",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
