Chapter 684 - Discussing the Marriage (1) (1/2)

Qiao Lian couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh.

Shen Zihao dashed out of the house and drove away in a hurry.

–

Xia Nuannuan, together with her dad and mom, was window shopping around Beijing when her cell phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Xia Nuannuan paused. Puzzled, she picked up the call and realized afterwards that it was Shen Zihao’s stepmother, Mei Feng.

For unknown reasons, she suddenly got nervous and said immediately, “Aunty Mei, how can I help you?”

There was a short pause and then the woman laughed. She went on to say, “It’s like this. Zihao’s father knows that the in-laws are in Beijing and has specially asked me to call you and arrange dinner together. Do you have time tonight?”

Shen Zihao’s father…

Xia Nuannuan looked at her parents immediately.

Dad Xia could hear the conversation on the phone, so he hurriedly nodded.

Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and hesitated. “But—”

Dad Xia took over the phone in a flash and said, “Sure, In-law, we’ll see you tonight!”

Nodding and smiling, Mei Feng replied, “Sure, come to our place for a visit.”

After hanging up, Dad Xia advised his daughter, “One look at Shen Zihao and you can see has a good background. Such a decent family… We ought to visit them. I’d like to meet his father too.”

It was too late for Xia Nuannuan to say anything.

Her father had agreed, so she couldn’t possibly back out now.

Hence, they hailed a cab and headed for the Shen family home.

On the way, Xia Nuannuan was going to call Shen Zihao to inform him but she received his call at that moment. She updated him of the situation.

She wasn’t quite sure if it was because Shen Zihao had immediately offered to come over, or if there were other reasons, but she felt a little unsettled, as though something bad was going to happen.

Taking in a deep breath, she tried to suppress the discomfort she was feeling.
