I was almost scared as I heard what Shi Cheng said, so I quickly said goodbye to Ji Nuan and rushed home. As I got out of the car and opened the gate, I saw that there were many lanterns in the villa. Besides, the flowers and meadow in the courtyard had obviously been pruned!
I went into the house in a hurry but didn’t see Xi Zhan, and my parents were having a chat on the couch. They were surprised to see me. My mother stood up and asked: "Why are you home at this time?"
Not intending to tell on Shi Cheng, I subconsciously lied: "I called you during the day and said I would come home tonight."
"Come on, let's have a talk."
Now that Xi Zhan was not in the house and my mother calmly asked me to have a talk, they must have had a meeting!
What had they talked about?!
Had my father acted like a usual father-in-law who would give his son in-law a hard time upon first meeting?
