As soon as it was lunchtime, Jiang An received a message from Zou Bai.

Zou Bai: “Actress Jiang, come and eat.”

When Jiang An saw the message, a smile appeared on her lips as she typed quickly.

Jiang An: Okay, right away.

Jiang Huai was filming on set, which made it easier for the two of them to meet secretly.

When Jiang An arrived, the dishes on the table were already laid out. There were four dishes and a soup.

Zou Bai gave Jiang An a bowl of pig belly soup. “Drink a bowl of soup to warm your stomach.”

Jiang An took it and took a sip. The peppery taste removed the gaminess of the pork belly very well.

Jiang An looked at Zou Bai and praised, “The soup your chef made is better than the one by my family’s Cantonese chef from Yangcheng.”

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An’s puffed cheeks and couldn’t help but smile. “Then I’ll get him to make it again tomorrow.”

Jiang An shook her head vigorously. “The more you like to eat something, the more you have to control yourself. After all, no matter how delicious it is, you’ll get sick of it if you eat too much.”

When Zou Bai heard this, he looked up at Jiang An and said seriously, “That means you still don’t like it enough.”

When Jiang An heard Zou Bai’s unamused words, she secretly glanced at Zou Bai. She didn’t know which sentence had poked Zou Bai’s nerves.

Zou Bai didn’t harp on that topic. He turned around and asked about Jiang An’s schedule, “Have you bought your plane ticket to Lin City next Monday?”

Jiang An replied, “Sister Bing is in charge of my itinerary. She should have bought it in advance.”

Zou Bai continued, “What time is your flight? I’ll pick you up at your house and send you to the airport.”

Jiang An’s hand, which was picking up food, paused. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva and put the food into her bowl. She lowered her head and took a bite of rice before replying, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. My brother will send me there.”

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An suspiciously. “You already have a boyfriend. You don’t need your brother to do this for you, right? I’ll tell Jiang Huai and I’ll send you there that day.”

Jiang An was so frightened that she looked up and quickly stopped him. “Don’t call him!”

Seeing Jiang An’s shocked expression, Zou Bai lowered his eyes and thought of something. He snorted. “Your family doesn’t know that we’re together, right?”

Jiang An lowered her eyes guiltily and did not speak. Zou Bai put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked calmly, “Why?”

Jiang An knew that it was definitely impossible to tell the truth. How could anyone plan to break up when they were together? Even if they did, they couldn’t say it. She looked up and smiled sweetly at Zou Bai. She tactfully changed her words. “1 want to wait until our relationship stabilizes.”

Zou Bai continued to ask, “What is considered stable? Do you think we’ll break up, so you think it’s unstable now?”

Jiang An thought for a moment and put down her bowl and chopsticks. She looked straight at Zou Bai and made herself look more self-righteous. “Isn’t this very normal? You think too much. How many people tell their families immediately after they fall in love?”

Zou Bai was stunned when he heard this. He didn’t know about other people, but he told his family immediately.

However, Zou Bai didn’t want to appear too much in a hurry, so he could only say, “When do you plan to tell them?”

Jiang An lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds. “1’11 have to wait for the right chance. It’s not good to be too deliberate. Otherwise, I’ll be embarrassed.”

Zou Bai didn’t let Jiang An escape. “Then on the day you go to the airport, I’ll pick you up and visit Uncle Jiang and Auntie Li.”

Jiang An widened her eyes and looked at Zou Bai.

Zou Bai revealed a fake smile and slowly said to Jiang An, “An ugly wife has to meet her in-laws. If I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of? Or are you just trying to have an underground relationship and don’t want to give me a legitimate status?”

These words stopped Jiang An from finding an excuse. She explained weakly, “That’s not what I want.”

Zou Bai blocked Jiang An’s chance to hesitate, so he decided. “That’s good. It’s not like we have a shameful relationship. 1’11 pick you up that day.”

Jiang An sighed secretly. Suddenly, she felt that the meat in her mouth was not as fragrant as before. She decided to think of another way.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday. Jiang An went home a little early.

Jiang Family

Li Mei looked at the fruits and nutritional supplements on the coffee table and said to Jiang Zhen, “Child, you’re already here. Why did you bring anything?”

Jiang Zhen replied gently, “That’s what 1 should do. This is the first time I’ve come to visit alone. How can I come empty-handed?”

“You’re as polite as your father. Jiang Zhen, eat some cherries first and your favorite mint jelly.” Li Mei welcomed Jiang Zhen warmly..
