The two exchanged pleasantries and caught up for a brief moment before they were called to dinner from the kitchen.
Gong Xuan and Gong Ze were of similar ages, and both being single, family dinners always ended up with marriage prodding.
Halfway through the dinner, the grandfather spoke first, saying, "Gong Ze, now that you're back, seize the opportunity to settle your personal matters, and the same goes for Gong Xuan."
The aunt chimed in, "Exactly, having two eligible bachelors in the house sounds so embarrassing. Gong Xuan, about that girl your mom mentioned last time, find some time to meet her."
Once the grandfather and aunt started, others joined in the urging, each suggesting suitable girls around them for the two to choose from.
While listening to everyone's marriage prodding, Gong Xuan casually said, "Grandpa, I have a girlfriend. You should be focusing more on my uncle."
