Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“We don’t pay particular attention to this…” Liang Mulan smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Is there a need to concern ourselves about our own family’s meals?”

“It’s good that you don’t mind about this kind of thing at home!” Lu Yunfan heaved a sigh of relief. “My family isn’t mindful about this kind of thing either. It’s just that when I went to a friend’s place for a meal, they didn’t like to chat and were only focused on their food. It was so quiet during the meal. When I praised how delicious the sweet and sour pork ribs were, my friend told me in a low voice not to say a word! My friend’s grandma then disliked me. She complained that I talk during meals.”

“What’s so strange about talking during meals?” Liang Mulan didn’t like eating quietly either.

It wasn’t easy for the whole family to gather together. Everyone was always busy with work, and they ate lunch separately. Only during dinner was everyone present, so of course, they took this opportunity to ask each other about their day.

Moreover, the Chinese dining table was well-known to be lively. Many businesses were negotiated at the dining table.

Therefore, Liang Mulan didn’t feel there was anything wrong with chatting during meals.

“That’s what I thought!” Lu Yunfan expressed her confusion, just like Liang Mulan.

“Then, from now on, you can often visit me at my house for a meal if you have nothing to do. Our dining table is very lively…” Liang Mulan smiled and said.

“Okay! In the future, if your children aren’t at home and you need company, please call me!” Lu Yunfan picked up a piece of ribs and put it into her mouth, revealing a satisfied expression. “Delicious!”

“Eat more. I’ll get the kitchen to make more for you later!” Liang Mulan smiled and said.

“How can I accept that? There’s really no need for that!” Lu Yunfan sighed sincerely. “Madam Liang, you’re such a nice person!”

“I thought that young girls like you would like to eat dessert, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some sweet snow fungus soup with dates. It will be ready in about half an hour!” Liang Mulan wiped her mouth with a napkin and added, “This is a new dish created by our chef. My two daughters like it very much…”

“Okay! Okay!” Lu Yunfan nodded.

While Liang Mulan went to the washroom, Lu Yunfan couldn’t resist sizing up the Lin family’s huge dining room…

She saw a family photo on the cabinet in the dining room. Lu Yunfan walked over slowly and widened her eyes when she saw the family photo.

Lin Chen was in the photo!

Lu Yunfan was stunned. What was going on?

In the photo, Old Madam Lin and Old Master Lin were sitting with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan in the middle. On their sides were Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan, Lin Jinghui, and behind them were Lin Nuan and her husband, as well as Lin Ran and Lin Chen!

Lu Yunfan suddenly recalled that Lin Chen’s mother’s surname was Liang.

Could it be… that Madam Liang was Lin Chen’s mother?

Lu Yunfan turned around and saw that the servants weren’t around, and Liang Mulan wasn’t back yet. She hurriedly took a photo of the family portrait and sent it to Lin Chen.

On the other end of the line, Lin Chen was stunned when he saw the photo Lu Yunfan had sent.

[Lin Chen: How did you get this photo? It looks like our dining room. Are you at our house?]

Seeing Lin Chen’s reply, Lu Yunfan’s scalp went numb…

Lin Chen… Home… Dining room?

Lu Yunfan felt like she couldn’t breathe, so after being a fool here for so long, she was actually acting the fool in front of her future mother-in-law?

She had wanted to leave a smart and capable impression on her future mother-in-law, but what had she done just now?

Recalling what she had just done, she almost broke down…

Lu Yunfan sat back at the dining table, feeling hopeless. She rubbed her face and recalled everything she had said to Liang Mulan. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she was. She even felt she could die!

Hearing Liang Mulan’s footsteps, Lu Yunfan quickly sat up straight. She was on her guard, not even knowing where to place her hands.

“Are you done eating?” Liang Mulan smiled and asked.

Lu Yunfan stood up from her chair out of reflex with a serious expression.

“What happened?” Liang Mulan asked, a little puzzled by Lu Yunfan’s reaction.

“Erm…” Lu Yunfan rubbed her stomach with both hands. “I… I think I’ve been here too long. I have to go…”

“Why are you in such a hurry? The dessert isn’t ready yet. I also still have to get the kitchen to prepare some spare ribs for you!” Liang Mulan smiled and sat down. “Are you full?”

“I’m full!” Lu Yunfan quickly said.

She wanted to slap herself for eating two bowls of rice in front of Liang Mulan. When she was at home, her mother had always told her to restrain herself when she was eating outside because she was worried others would see her daughter eat so much that they would be scared to approach her.

Ever since Liang Mulan returned, Lu Yunfan had lowered her head. She was wondering if Liang Mulan was frightened by her big appetite.

“Seeing you eat makes one feel hungry. I still want half a bowl of rice!” Liang Mulan smiled and said, “One of my two daughters is more restrained when eating, and the other is constantly on a diet. Eating with them doesn’t give me much of an appetite. If you come and eat with me every day, I’m sure I will eat more every day!”

As she spoke, Liang Mulan had already instructed the servants to scoop half a bowl of rice for her…

Only then did Lu Yunfan raise her head and secretly look at Liang Mulan. Could it be… that Lin Chen’s mother liked her big appetite?

While she was perplexed, Lu Yunfan saw Liang Mulan smiling gently at her, and her panicked heart calmed down slightly.

Lu Yunfan was wondering if Liang Mulan knew she was Lin Chen’s girlfriend. On second thought… since they had just started dating yesterday and based on Lin Chen’s cautiousness, he probably wouldn’t tell the people around him about their relationship before the one month period was over.

Lu Yunfan secretly cheered herself on, wanting to leave a good impression on Liang Mulan.

But perhaps because she was nervous, Lu Yunfan wasn’t as lively as she was earlier. She sat there silently, afraid that she would make too many mistakes.

“What happened?” Liang Mulan asked Lu Yunfan softly. “Are you feeling unwell? Why are you suddenly so quiet?”

“No, no… It’s just…” Lu Yunfan pursed her lips and said softly to Liang Mulan, “It’s just that I suddenly have something that needs my attention. I think I have to leave first…”

After saying this, Lu Yunfan felt a little regretful. She was afraid that Liang Mulan would feel that she was being rude. She had yet to finish her meal but already wanted to leave!

In any case, when she saw the photo of Liang Mulan’s family in the dining room, Lu Yunfan felt something amiss.

Lu Yunfan’s phone vibrated. She picked it up and took a look. It was Lin Chen.

[Lin Chen: You’re at my house?]
