Shen Su lowered his voice and confirmed with Feng Feng, "You don't mind?"
Feng Feng shook her head, then took the phone from Shen Su's hand and began chatting with Gu Yuan. Once the video was focused on Feng Feng's face, Gu Yuan on the other end greeted her first, "Feng Feng, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Feng Feng replied, "I'm doing well, thank you, Auntie. And you?"
Gu Yuan said, "I'm doing well too. Oh, are you free this weekend? I've been meaning to treat you to a meal for a while. Shen Su always says you're busy, and I suspect he's doing it on purpose. It's better to ask you directly, you're more reliable."
Hearing Gu Yuan say this, Feng Feng glanced at Shen Su. Shen Su hadn't mentioned it to her recently. She thought Gu Yuan had put it aside, but it turned out Shen Su had been the one deflecting. After a moment of consideration, Feng Feng told Gu Yuan, "I'm free this weekend. I'll treat you."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "How can that be? It's our first meeting, there's no reason for you to pay. How about this, tomorrow you let Shen Su bring you home for dinner? You can try our chef's cooking."
The invitation was too kind to refuse, and Feng Feng finally had to nod in agreement, "Okay, then we'll be imposing on you and Chairman Shen."
"Don't call him Chairman Shen anymore. We're family now. Just call him Uncle or Brother-in-law," Gu Yuan immediately corrected Feng Feng when she heard her formal address for Shen Jianghe.
Feng Feng then realized that she had been watching too much economic news and couldn't get used to her way of addressing Shen Jianghe.
Shen Su sat opposite them, drinking his wine and listening to the conversation between Feng Feng and Gu Yuan. To be honest, he was somewhat surprised when she readily accepted Gu Yuan's invitation, and then he became increasingly happy. Feng Feng had agreed to go back to the Shen family's home for dinner with him, so would the meeting of their parents be far behind?
After Gu Yuan and Feng Feng confirmed the time, she hung up the video, saying she didn't want to disturb their meal.
Shen Su took his phone back and sent Gu Yuan a high-five emoji. Gu Yuan replied: "[Grinning Face] I still had to step in."
Shen Su smiled as he looked at the message. He never expected that at his age, he would still have to rely on his mother to woo Feng Feng. He hadn't needed such tactics when they were dating in middle school. As the saying goes, "every lock has its key," and the more he interacted with Feng Feng, the more he understood this saying.
After the video call ended, Shen Su curiously asked Feng Feng, "Are you really coming home with me for dinner tomorrow?"
Feng Feng didn't even look up and asked calmly, "Don't you want me to?"
"Of course not," Shen Su immediately denied. "I thought you were unwilling. We've been back for less than a month, and my mom has urged me about five or six times. I didn't want to put too much pressure on you."
Feng Feng guessed as much and chuckled, "Why does it sound like you're afraid of me? Am I that scary?"
Shen Su didn't hold back his sweet words, "It's not fear, it's cherishing. It took me so long to become your boyfriend, and I don't want you to do anything you're unwilling to do. Although I'm in a hurry, your feelings come first."
Even when saying such mushy things, Shen Su's expression was serious, making him seem reliable and deeply affectionate.
Feng Feng stopped and looked up at him, "What do you want me to say in response?" If he wanted to hear such words, she wasn't good at saying them.
Shen Su's attitude remained very sincere, "I'm telling you this not to hear your reply, but to clarify my stance. We are in a relationship, you don't need to be so calculating with me."
Shen Su added with a smile, "Of course, if Ms. Feng is willing to learn how to coax me, I'd be very happy."
As soon as he reverted to his usual flamboyant demeanor, Feng Feng lost the desire to continue the conversation with him. "Let's eat."
Shen Su didn't dwell on the topic and then started talking about business with Feng Feng, "Don't worry about my parents. They both admire you greatly. My dad looks serious, but he's very approachable at home. Just act normally and don't be nervous."
Feng Feng thought she had behaved calmly enough, but she hadn't expected Shen Su to notice her nervousness. She was indeed nervous, as this was her first time going home to meet a man's parents.
She had met Li Yue's parents when they were dating, but by then, there were already some issues between her and Li Yue. Strictly speaking, that couldn't be called meeting parents, but this time with Shen Su, it was for real.
Feng Feng remembered Shen Su mentioning that Gu Yuan and Shen Jianghe liked to play games at home. Thinking of this, Feng Feng took out her phone and searched for recent game consoles on a shopping app.
Feng Feng's attention was so focused on her phone that she didn't hear what Shen Su was saying. It wasn't until Shen Su called her name several times that she snapped back to attention. When she looked up, she saw Shen Su looking at her with a helpless expression, "What are you looking at that's so good that you can't even hear me talking?"
Feng Feng showed Shen Su her phone. When Shen Su took it, he saw the game console on the screen and didn't react for a moment, "Are you so stressed lately that you need to play games?"
Feng Feng popped a piece of beef into her mouth, "It's a gift for your parents. Didn't you say they like playing games?"
Shen Su thought back carefully. He seemed to have casually mentioned this topic to Feng Feng a while ago, and he was surprised she remembered. After recalling it, Shen Su beamed and teased, "Ms. Feng remembers my words so clearly. I'm flattered."
Feng Feng didn't bother to retort. She knew he was pretending to be flattered but was actually showing off. "What do you think of this?"
Shen Su looked at the page carefully before giving his evaluation, "It's very good. I'll go with you to the counter tomorrow."
After dinner, they tidied up the table together, and the kitchen and dining room were soon restored to order.
As they came out of the dining room, Shen Su wrapped his arms around Feng Feng's waist from behind, pressing his body against her as they walked.
A certain place was already throbbing, and Feng Feng could feel it clearly.
She turned her head and met Shen Su's eyes. He lowered his head, his lips brushing against her ear, his warm breath enveloping her, "Ms. Feng, we still have a few more rounds tonight."
Feng Feng had known for a long time that Shen Su was a man of strong desires, and she was the same. They had always been harmonious in this regard, knowing each other's bodies intimately, and every time was an enjoyment.
In fact, it was rare to find someone so compatible. Feng Feng thought, perhaps this was also a form of destiny.
They finished and went to bed at half past midnight. After a week of intense work, coupled with this exertion, Feng Feng slept until half past ten the next day before opening her eyes.
Shen Su was already awake.
Feng Feng washed up in the master bedroom's bathroom and went out. Shen Su was just coming out from the direction of the dining room.
"I guessed you'd be waking up soon," Shen Su said with a smile. "I've made breakfast. Let's eat and then we'll go out."
