Under the moonlight

"Knock knock~" A few knocks broke the silence in the room. Huang Meng was nearby, so she got up to open the door. The girl standing in front of her was looking at her with a smile.

"Please come in." This must be Miao Miao. She looks like the kind of girl who has been pampered since childhood. She has fair skin, a neat high ponytail, and a string of lustrous pearls hanging on her slender neck, which makes her skin look even more delicate.

She stood beside Huang Meng, smiled sweetly, bowed slightly to the elders, and said with a smile, "Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry I'm late."

Xiao Yun quickly stood up, briefly introduced herself and Huang Guodong to her, and then told her to sit down quickly, while subtly gesturing with her eyes for her to sit next to Li Shuo.

Zhang Miaomiao smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Li Shuo's profile. Her face instantly turned bright red. Huang Meng knew that the moment she opened the door, her gaze swept around the room before settling precisely on Li Shuo. It seemed she really liked Li Shuo!

Huang Meng turned her head and glanced at Li Shuo, who had a cold expression, and then at Miao Miao, who had just sat down next to him and looked shy. She couldn't help but sigh to herself, "What a good girl, it's a pity she gave her heart to the wrong person!"

Seeing that she was seated, Xiao Yun gestured for Huang Meng to open the door and call the waiter to prepare the dishes.

There was still some time before the food was served, and the little girl sat upright the whole time, not daring to look up at Li Shuo beside her. But this guy acted as if nothing was wrong, sitting crookedly and ignoring her.

Xiao Feng, on the other hand, kept talking to Miao Miao, chatting about everyday things. Gradually, she became less nervous. Finally, after much deliberation, she turned to look at Li Shuo, "I heard you teach at the university you used to attend? That must be interesting!" After saying that, she quickly turned away again. Huang Meng, listening from the other side, glanced at Li Shuo.

"Hmph~ What could it mean? I'm just trying to make a living." After saying that, he looked at Li Qiangmin across from him. His dear father was staring at him with wide eyes, the meaning of which was very clear: he should talk to the young lady properly.

Even his aunt waved to him repeatedly. Huang Meng looked at his mother and then at his aunt, who was smiling at Miao Miao. It seemed that the elders were all very satisfied with this little girl!

"So, are you usually busy with work?" The girl was getting bolder and bolder, and this time she stared straight at Li Shuo after she finished speaking.

"It's alright, nothing special. What's up? Do you want to ask me out?" Li Shuo looked at her casually, a teasing smile playing on his lips.

Huang Meng, holding her teacup, tilted her head to watch the two people beside her as if watching a show. Sure enough, under Li Shuo's handsome face and mischievous smile, Miao Miao was utterly defeated! Her ears turned red at a visible speed, and she quickly turned her head away, stammering, "Oh, no, I was just asking."

In contrast, Li Shuo remained nonchalant and indifferent, saying, "Oh, is that so? But I don't have much time for dates, I'm busy!"

Several adults were watching him from across the way, chatting about trivial things. Hearing him say that, Xiao Feng quickly said, "What are you busy with, kid? You're just staying at home all day."

Actually, she was quite satisfied when she first saw Miaomiao. She had met Old Zhang before; he was fat and broad-skinned. Everyone says that daughters resemble their fathers, and she had been worried at first.

But this girl definitely took after her mother; she was tall and of average build. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she was very pleasing to the eye, just like Xiao Yun had whispered in her ear earlier—a girl from a modest family.

Seeing his mother's bright smile, Li Shuo snorted and stopped talking. Just then, all the dishes were served. Li Qiangmin smiled and said to Miao Miao, "Come on, Miao Miao, make yourself at home. Don't be shy. Take whatever you want to eat. If you can't reach it, let Li Shuo help you."

Hearing this, Huang Meng almost burst out laughing. It seemed that her uncle was quite satisfied with this girl. She secretly glanced at Li Shuo and saw that he was glaring at her, so Huang Meng quickly stopped laughing.
