Chapter 800: Chapter 801: Don’t Like It This Way?
Huo Yishan turned and glanced at Li Yuan.
It was hard to say when, but their relationship had apparently grown so close that a mere look was enough to communicate.
“Great-aunt.”
“Great-aunt is overthinking it, I don’t want to say because I know you are still assessing me. If you think I’m not worthy to be with Li Yuan, then forgive my bluntness, you are also not worthy to know my father’s name.”
She finally understood why Li Yuan had asked her to play this part, his family members were really a bunch of eccentrics!
Madame Li frowned, studying Huo Yishan closely.
It seemed this girl’s family background was not ordinary, and she was clever and nimble.
“Alright, since you’ve brought the person back, let’s not talk about the marriage with the Ruan Family.” The elderly lady stood up decisively, “Mr. Song.”
The butler immediately came over, “Madame.”
“Is lunch ready?”
“It’s ready.”
“Then let’s eat!”
With that, a group of people headed towards the grand dining room.
The dining room was large, and the table was very long.
If they really had to eat together like this in the future, it would be too uncomfortable.
Wait, she was just a pretend girlfriend, why think about the future?
After lunch, Li Yuan took Huo Yishan to leave, “Grandmother, father, Yishan sprained her ankle earlier, I’ll take her back to apply some ointment.”
“Go ahead.”
With Madame Li’s nod, Li Yuan pulled Huo Yishan and left.
It had to be said, Huo Yishan was somewhat restrained during the meal. After all, with so many people around, she couldn’t just wolf down her food as usual, could she? That surely wouldn’t help Li Yuan pass this test.
“Hey, does your family always eat together like this?”
On the way, Huo Yishan couldn’t help but ask Li Yuan.
Li Yuan slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, “Not really, although we live in this castle, we live our individual lives. It’s only on special occasions that we gather together.”
“Oh…” Huo Yishan nodded.
“What, don’t you like it?”
She didn’t deny it, “Indeed, I don’t like it, it’s too restrictive.”
“Then after we get married, we can move out, or if you want to stay in Jingcheng, we can live there!”
Huo Yishan stopped in her tracks, turned her head and looked at him blankly, “What do you mean?”
He grinned, “Just kidding!”
She was stunned, and the next second her hand was taken by his as they walked towards a luxurious building inside the castle.
“Yuan!”
Behind them, Madam Li’s voice called out.
Seeing her son leaving with his future daughter-in-law, Xia Ximeng and her daughter Li Wanxing also quickly followed, yearning to see her son after such a long time.
The two people standing not far away turned around upon hearing the sound, just as two figures approached them.
“Mom.”
Xia Ximeng smiled tenderly, her warm gaze falling on Huo Yishan before gently taking her hand, “Let mom take you back.”
Huo Yishan felt odd being led like this.
Because the Li Family always gave her a cold, arrogant vibe and looked down on her, but Li Yuan’s mother seemed quite gentle?
Rounding the front hall, Huo Yishan soon discovered the mysteries hidden within the castle, and she understood what Li Yuan had said, that although they all lived in this castle, their lives were indeed separate.
The castle was indeed huge like a maze, with its structures piled in terraces, carved beams and painted rafters, each building richly ornamented and stunningly beautiful.
Soon, they reached a building, entered, and were greeted by interiors that were elegantly and luxuriously decorated, a marvel of craftsmanship.
