Chapter 199 - His Feeling As A Father
The moment Song Xing Xing's parents appeared in front of him, Lu Xun's palms started to sweat.
This was not the first time that he met her parents. Previously, Lu Xun had stayed in the same room with Song Chen to discuss the country's politics and economy. However, he was sure that Song Chen was not as scarier.
The look that Song Chen was giving him at this time... it was as if he could shot fire through his eyes and blast him into oblivion.
It was Song Xing Xing who took the initiative to speak first. She stood up, pulling along her boyfriend with him, and smiled at her parents. "Mom, Dad.... let me introduce you to my boyfriend. This is Lu Xun. Right, you guys should have known each other well. You no longer need an introduction," Song Xing Xing said.
He wiped his hands on his pants and stood up to greet the elders. Feeling the way Song Xing Xing was gripping his arms, Lu Xun took the initiative to greet the Song couple. "Hello, Uncle, Auntie."
Hearing those words, Song Chen's unhappiness increased to another level.
When did his words had changed to uncle and auntie? Previously, didn't this person always addressed him as Mr. Song?
Ye Ling Feng noticed her husband's unhappiness and gave him a slight pinch on the arms.
This was the first time that their daughter has brought home his girlfriend. Even if they did not think that this person is good enough for their daughter, they should still help her daughter to save her face.
What if their daughter became unhappy and did not want to return home? Then, what should they do?
"You're Lu Xun, right?" Ye Ling Feng flashed him a welcoming smile. "Welcome to our house."
Seeing the look on Ye Ling Feng's face, Lu Xun felt a little relieved. He was no longer as anxious as he was earlier.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words and Ye Ling Feng asked him about his stay in Y City. Noticing that her husband had not said a word, Ye Ling Feng could not help but sigh.
Earlier, the two of them had agreed to treat Lu Xun well as their guest. Even though they might not think that Lu Xun might not be compatible with their daughter, they should never be rude.
As the mother, Ye Ling Feng's mindset was different than her husband's. She understood how much her daughter is in love with her boyfriend at this time and wished for her daughter's happiness as well.
Besides, as long as Lu Xun treated their daughter well and respected her, Ye Ling Feng would not have had any problem with him.
Currently, the couple were in a dating phase where they are still learning about each other. They were still observing each other to find out whether they will be compatible or not. It was not as if they were going to head to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and bring home the red book.
Ye Ling Feng really could not understand why her husband was this upset.
After weighing her decision, Ye Ling Chen turned to Auntie Zhao who was standing not too far away. "Auntie Zhao, is the meal ready?"
Auntie Zhao nodded. "I have set the table. Master, Madam, please go ahead."
"Lu Xun, you should be hungry right? Come on and let's follow Auntie to the dining room." Ye Ling Feng stretched her hand towards Lu Xun's arms to pull him towards the dining area. Then, she glanced at her husband and winked at her daughter, signaling her to go and talk to her father.
"I didn't know what you like to eat and Xing Xing said that you're not picky with any food," Ye Ling Feng said as he dragged the man away. "I just let Auntie Zhao prepare anything. I hope that you would like it."
"Auntie, I'm fine with anything. " Lu Xun glanced at his girlfriend and understood that the couple had probably wanted to separate them to say a few words. With that mindset, Lu Xun followed Mother Song obediently to the kitchen.
Ye Ling Feng finally remember that her son was not around and Song Xing Xing to call her brother to join them for dinner. However, it was only an excuse for her to let the father and daughter talk.
Once her mother ad Lu Xun had disappeared into the kitchen, Song Xing Xing turned to her father and asked. "Dad, are you not happy?" Song Xing Xing used a coquettish tone to speak to her father. "You don't like Lu Xun?"
Song Chen let out a cough, wondering if his action was too much that her daughter would notice it right away. Even though he did not have a good impression of Lu Xun at this moment, in front of her daughter, Song Chen was unable to say anything against him. This was the first time that she had brought Lu Xun home. Song Chen did not want to make her daughter unhappy.
"What are you saying? Why would I dislike him without any reason?"
Song Xing Xing pouted. "Then why haven't you say a word to him? Isn't it because you did not like him?"
Song Chen was starting to have a headache. How was he supposed to explain to his daughter his feeling as a father? Her daughter had brought home her boyfriend. How could he be too happy about it?
"You're thinking too much," Song Chen stretched his hand to pat her daughter on the head. "This is the first time that you have brought home and introduced him as your boyfriend. It was too sudden. Your father just did not know how to react."
"Really?"
"Of course. Rest assured. I just need a while to process this. Previously, I have never imagined that you would introduce him as your boyfriend. I just did not know what to say to him."
Song Chen could only remind himself to stop acting too cold towards the boy. It's fine if he did that when there was no one around. However, he could not do it in front of his daughter.
Seeing that her father had finally smiled at her, Song Xing Xing decided to trust him.
As the father and daughter were heading to the kitchen together, Song Wei came from upstairs. He gave her sister and father a look over and could guess what was going on. It seemed that their father was still unhappy about his sister's boyfriend.
At the thought that he was finally going to see his sister's boyfriend, Song Wei picked up his pace and headed to the dining room.
He stepped into the dining room and found that a tall guy was chatting with his mother. The man raised his head and their gazes met.
Lu Xun looked at the boy in front of him and thought that he seemed familiar. It was then that he remember seeing this boy with his girlfriend in the arcade not too long ago.
