Chapter 573 Qu Huanhuan Hesitated Nervously
Qu Huanhuan nodded. A gentle and perfect woman. She couldn't wait to meet her.
"What about your parents? Do they have any taboos?"
"No, just treat him as a workaholic."
"Hahahaha, workaholic, that's a good word. What about you? How do you define yourself?"
"A workaholic and a playboy."
Qu Huanhuan turned her head to look at Ye Mu'en and then shook her head.
"You don't look like one. You don't seem like a playboy. My father was also a soldier, and every step you take is like his. Soldiers are disciplined by nature, so there's no such thing as a playboy."
Ye Mu'en was surprised. So, this girl agreed to his request so easily because she had seen through his identity? Was this some kind of blind trust?
"Is your father still in active service?"
"No, he passed away when I was very young, on the battlefield. But his appearance, build, and gait haven't faded at all."
Ye Mu'en pursed his lips. He had experienced too many friends leaving in two lifetimes. Such pain needed no comfort, only reverence.
"You are fortunate to have a great father."
Hearing this, Qu Huanhuan lost all her sentimentality.
"Yes, all soldiers are great."
The two of them chatted happily as if they had known each other for a long time, not like people who had only met twice. When they got out of the car and stood before a gate that seemed to pierce the sky, Qu Huanhuan suddenly became nervous. Pointing at the gate, she stammered.
"This, this is your home?"
"It's my sister's home. We all live together, and we rarely separate."
"But, but this is too much. What if I regret it?"
"Too bad. It's too late to regret it. Please, Ms. Qu!"
Qu Huanhuan clenched her fists, opened her mouth, and took several deep breaths before walking forward excitedly.
Seeing this, Ye Mu'en almost laughed. This girl was truly a bit simple.
"Young Master Ye is back. Hello, Madam."
"Hello, hello."
"Is everyone back?"
"Everyone except Young Master Zi and your parents is waiting in the main courtyard."
Ye Mu'en extended his hand. Qu Huanhuan, as if seeing a life-saving straw, quickly grasped it, her palm still sweaty from nervousness.
"Sorry, I really need some strength right now."
"I'll always give you strength."
As they entered the main courtyard, everyone was sitting in the yard, smiling and staring at the two of them.
"My grandson is doing well, bringing a beautiful young lady home. Come, let me see."
Grandma Bai's face bloomed with a smile. She finally saw a new face entering the family.
Qu Huanhuan walked forward with a stiff smile. But before she could reach them, Ye Mu'en let go of her hand. She glared at him, signaling with her eyes, but he was already holding a small doll and playing with it. How disloyal!
With no other choice, Qu Huanhuan stiffly walked up to the elder, whose hand was immediately grabbed.
"Let me see. This girl is very charming. Look at the cute little dimples at the corners of her mouth."
"Yes, Mu'en has excellent taste."
Aunt Bai also smiled with satisfaction. Ye Shenge finally appeared. Seeing the young girl's awkwardness and her elder brother's lack of consideration, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Grandma, when you see a satisfactory girl, do you forget to ask her to sit down?"
Qu Huanhuan turned her head and understood what perfection was at a single glance. Even her voice was so gentle that her heart softened.
"You're so beautiful!"
Ye Shenge smiled and walked forward, extending her hand to guide Qu Huanhuan to a chair beside Grandma Bai. The family, rarely seeing a new face, had forgotten even this basic courtesy.
"Thank you. You're also very beautiful. There are so many people in your family, are you nervous?"
"Yes, I'm trembling all over."
With just a few words, Ye Shenge could see the difference between her and Liu Shu. True nature radiated from within.
"Don't be afraid. You don't have to meet them all at once. After all, having so many people can be overwhelming. We'll take it slow."
"Okay, okay."
Qu Huanhuan was completely out of sorts. Her usual cleverness and quick wit were useless at this moment.
"Girl, are you still a student? You look very young."
"I, I'm currently a sophomore at Mingcheng University."
"Oh, you're a student at Mingcheng University? That's very excellent."
"Hehe, I guess so."
"Are your classes usually busy?"
"Not very. I have a good ability to absorb things, so I have a lot of free time."
After saying that, Qu Huanhuan wanted to slap herself. Why was she speaking such a truth?
"Hahahaha, she's a sincere girl."
Ye Shenge nodded with a smile. Regardless of whether Qu Huanhuan was truly her elder brother's girlfriend, she was certainly a girl worth getting to know.
It was at this moment that Ye Mu'en finally escaped from the little doll's show-off and self-praise. Seeing Qu Huanhuan sitting next to his sister, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, let me introduce my family."
Qu Huanhuan smiled and stood up, following Ye Mu'en. Ye Shenge also walked alongside them, clarifying any relationships that were unclear.
After going through the introductions, Qu Huanhuan truly witnessed what it meant to be a prominent family, at least in terms of numbers.
"Phew~, I'm dying."
"Still nervous?"
Ye Mu'en handed Qu Huanhuan a glass of juice. He wanted to laugh seeing her hide and take deep breaths.
"It's not that I'm not nervous, oh, I am nervous. You have no idea, I've only remembered three or four people so far. My brain just suddenly stopped working."
"It's okay. Next time you come, there won't be so many people."
"Hahahaha, it seems like the main people have arrived!"
The hearty male voice made Qu Huanhuan look in that direction. It was an astonishing sight; it was like a gathering of gods.
"Let's go, my parents are back."
"Your family members are all too good-looking! You look especially like your mother."
"Then I'll take that as a compliment."
"You're already good-looking."
Ye's mother immediately noticed the young girl walking beside her son. Good, they made a good match. She was very satisfied.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Hello, hello. What's the girl's name?"
"Aunt, my name is Qu Huanhuan."
Ye's mother took out a wooden box from her bag and handed it to her.
"A meeting gift. It's a bit rushed, but I'll give you a better one next time."
Qu Huanhuan quickly withdrew her hands. She dared not accept gifts.
"Accept it. Don't refuse my mother's kindness."
Qu Huanhuan really didn't want to accept it. She felt she didn't deserve it, especially since she was deceiving them. At this moment, she understood how uncomfortable it felt to lie.
"Thank you, Aunt."
Ye's father also took out a gift, but he didn't say much. He was the dignified future father-in-law.
This was just the beginning. It turned out everyone had prepared gifts, but they were all waiting for the main party to give theirs first.
"Everyone, let's head to the restaurant. We've specifically invited the chef today, so eat to your heart's content!"
Ye Shenge, as the hostess, was the busiest, constantly going back and forth between the kitchen and the dining hall.
