Chapter 970: Chapter 977: Extra Story (4)
Xie Qinghuan showed up as scheduled, and the other party was a thirty-year-old man.
He was a bit older than her, but luckily he was mature and steady, unlike Yan Jiu who was so aggressive.
As soon as Xie Qinghuan arrived, the man stood up to greet her. He wasn’t overly attentive, but thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her and waited for her to be seated.
"Thank you." She responded with a smile.
After the man sat down, he handed the menu to her and opened it: "Have you had breakfast? What would you like to eat?"
"I’ve eaten. Just a cup of coffee will do."
"How about a cappuccino?" the man asked warmly.
Xie Qinghuan nodded, but before she could speak, a flippant voice interrupted: "She doesn’t like cappuccino, switch to a latte."
Yan Jiu, in a set of taupe casual suit, walked over with one hand in his pocket, loosened his tie with a raised hand, and sat beside Xie Qinghuan, squinting slightly at the man in front of him.
Both the man and Xie Qinghuan were taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to appear suddenly.
"This is...?" The man snapped back to reality and looked at Xie Qinghuan.
"I’m her boy..."
Before Yan Jiu could finish speaking, Xie Qinghuan stomped hard on his shoe.
His handsome face twisted, and his gaze became much more sinister.
"He’s my cousin from the south..." Xie Qinghuan explained with a smile.
Yan Yiheng’s face turned a shade of green, and he was about to speak when...
Xie Qinghuan turned to him with a smile: "Cousin, why did you suddenly come?"
"I... heard you were on a blind date, so I came to keep an eye on things for you." Yan Jiu curled his lips, giving a half smile.
Blind date, my ass!
Xie Qinghuan glared at him from an angle the man couldn’t see. Bastard, who let you come?
Didn’t we agree yesterday that I would accompany you?
After a long exchange of glances, Xie Qinghuan withdrew her gaze and said, "Sorry, I didn’t expect him to suddenly show up."
The man smiled: "No worries, since he’s here, let’s all sit together."
Yan Jiu also ordered a cup of coffee, then crossed his legs and stared directly at the man in front of him, openly scrutinizing him.
The man initially nodded slightly at him, acknowledging him with a polite smile.
"Qinghuan, my mom said she hopes to meet you."
"What, to evaluate her future daughter-in-law?" Yan Jiu interjected.
The man nodded slightly, ignoring him, and looked again at Xie Qinghuan.
"On my side, the family hopes we can have a child as soon as possible after marriage. There are no other conditions, after all, you know, they’re getting older, so their desire to have a grandchild is very urgent..."
"It’s not something she can rush alone. If you can’t handle it, then no matter how much she wants to give birth, it won’t happen, right?" Yan Jiu interrupted with a smile, his eyes gleaming coldly.
Seeing Yan Jiu’s face full of a ’I’m not impressed’ look, made the usually warm and composed man feel a bit uneasy.
"This... cousin... cousin, is there something you have against me?" The man frowned and spoke up.
The young man in front of him, who was even more attractive than most women, really gave him too much of a sense of oppression.
Considering his years of experience and status, it was rare for anyone to give him such a strong sense of pressure.
Moreover, he felt that the man in front of him was somewhat familiar. Coupled with his aura, he definitely wasn’t just some southern cousin.
"Trying to get chummy with me? Who’s your cousin." Yan Jiu sneered.
The man’s expression was somewhat awkward, struggling to appear calm, but it was still obvious that he was somewhat aggravated.
