Chapter 183: Let's Go Dancing

"Mom, I'm having dinner with colleagues tonight, so I won't be coming home to eat," Xia Lu said.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhiqiu felt troubled. She had prepared a lot of dishes, even steamed some seafood specifically, and now the girl wouldn't be coming home without giving any notice, leaving her to dine alone with Zhou Mingchen, her not-so-familiar son-in-law, which was somewhat uncomfortable for her.

"Achen, eat more of the dishes," she pushed the seafood towards Zhou Mingchen. Originally, she had always respectfully addressed him as Mr. Zhou, but after hearing friends call him by that name, she followed suit, finding it made their interaction more familiar. "I picked these out myself at the seafood market today, they were still jumping around when they went into the pot, guaranteed fresh."

Zhou Mingchen nodded, bowing his head to eat; he was not used to making small talk. Usually, when Xia Lu was around, he would just listen to their chatter and never interrupt.
