Beautiful CEO's Super Expert
Chapter 889 - 889: A Stroll on the Streets

Hearing everyone praise Xiao Yaning for her beauty, Yu Jun and Qi Hui felt as sweet as if they had tasted honey.

As it was almost dark by now, Yu Jun invited everyone into the hall.

Of course, without a doubt, all eyes were on Xiao Yaning.

Such excessive enthusiasm made the usually quiet Xiao Yaning very uncomfortable, fortunately Su Chen was by her side, making things a bit easier.

Naturally, this resulted in Su Chen also becoming the focus after a while. To be precise, the relationship between Su Chen and Xiao Yaning became the center of everyone's attention.

"Yaning, is this Mr. Su your boyfriend?"

At this moment, a woman asked with a smile. She was Wei Ling, the wife of Xiao Yaning's third uncle, Yu Ran.

"No, we are just good friends."

Xiao Yaning answered a bit shyly.

"Really, don't lie to your third aunt!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ling's smile grew even brighter, a gleam flashed in her eyes as if she had some plans in mind.

"No, we are really just good friends."

Xiao Yaning said, though she added a 'for now' in her mind. As for the future, who knows?

But for now, the two of them were indeed just friends.

"I understand."

Seeing his daughter's embarrassment, Yu Jun intervened to help:

"They are indeed good friends. Since it's Yaning's first time back, she is inevitably a bit nervous, so I invited Mr. Su to accompany her."

If he said that Xiao Yaning had invited him, they surely wouldn't believe their good friends' relationship and would probably keep asking questions, making his daughter uncomfortable.

Sure enough, everyone nodded upon hearing this, understanding that this was normal.

In fact, as soon as they saw Su Chen, they suspected he was her boyfriend, but since they had just met, it wasn't appropriate to ask.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's eat first, we can chat more tomorrow."

Yu Jun said with a smile.

The servants then arranged the meal. Knowing that Xiao Yaning was coming back, this meal was prepared to be particularly sumptuous, even grander than the New Year's feast.

Also, because Xiao Yaning had just returned, the whole family gathered to eat together, which they only did during major holidays.

During dinner, everyone's enthusiasm did not wane, with all sorts of questions directed at Xiao Yaning, making it difficult for her to handle.

Of course, most of these were from the women, particularly her third aunt Wei Ling, who was the most active.

Sitting beside Xiao Yaning, Su Chen had a few drinks with Yu Jun, and some other men also toasted with him, after all, Su Chen was considered a guest.

The wine brewed by the Yu family was very pure but not too strong, and the taste was quite good.

"Yaning, are you eating so little?"

Seeing Xiao Yaning barely touching her food, Qi Hui asked with concern.

"Yes, after sitting on a plane for several hours, I don't have much of an appetite."

Xiao Yaning said softly. The truth was that the situation made her a bit uncomfortable, so she couldn't eat much.

If it were the bustling scene of a business banquet, she would have no problem at all, but in this situation...

"Alright, don't force yourself if you can't eat. If you get hungry at night, just tell Mom. I'll make you some noodles or wontons. If there's anything you want to eat, you can also let me know!"

For Qi Hui now, all she wanted was to be good to Xiao Yaning, to make up for her absence over the past twenty years.

"Thank you... Mom."

Seeing Qi Hui care so much for her, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

However, having just met, calling her mom still felt a bit unnatural.

For Qi Hui, hearing Xiao Yaning call her mom was already very gratifying.

After dinner, Yu Jun said,

"You must be exhausted after being on a plane for hours. Get some rest early."

He then arranged for a servant to take Su Chen to the guest room.

Meanwhile, Qi Hui personally took Xiao Yaning to her room. Ever since she knew her husband had found their daughter, she had been meticulously preparing this room, personally selecting everything.

In fact, this wasn't the true ancestral home of the Yu family. Typically, martial arts families are far removed from the secular world, and the Yu family was no exception.

Their real ancestral home was about two hundred kilometers away, deep in a mountain range.

Of course, they also had various properties and estates outside, and this courtyard was one of them.

Yu Jun and Qi Hui were concerned that Xiao Yaning, being an elite urbanite, wouldn't adapt to life in the mountains, so they arranged to meet here.

As for the ancestral home, there would be plenty of opportunities to visit it in the future.

Once Su Chen entered his room, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and rested for a while before calling Xiao Yaning.

"Have you rested?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Not yet, what's up?"

Xiao Yaning's voice came through.

"You must be hungry, come out, I'll take you for a late-night snack."

Su Chen said, recalling Qi Hui's words. He knew Xiao Yaning well enough to know that even if she was hungry, she wouldn't trouble Qi Hui.

She generally didn't like to trouble others. Although Qi Hui wasn't just an 'other,' she was still getting used to their relationship.

Before long, they met in the yard and walked out together.

"Mr. Su, Miss, are you going out?"

Uncle Zhong saw them and asked.

"Yes, we couldn't sleep, so we decided to take a walk."

Su Chen replied casually.

"Shall I arrange a car for you?"

Uncle Zhong asked again.

"No need, we're just going for a stroll."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, then walked out with Xiao Yaning...

It was around ten o'clock at night, and the streets were still brightly lit.

The two of them wandered aimlessly along the streets. After a while, they saw a pretty decent restaurant ahead.

"How about that place?"

Su Chen pointed to the restaurant and asked.

"Let's walk a bit more, I'm not that hungry yet."

Xiao Yaning said. She actually enjoyed the opportunity to walk with Su Chen, such chances were rare for her.

So she would rather be a bit hungry to spend more time walking with him.

"Alright."

Su Chen shrugged and continued to walk forward.

When Xiao Yaning walked alongside him, she was tempted to hold his hand but didn't dare.

Holding hands now would be entirely different from holding his hand when she felt nervous before.

Her hand lightly brushed against Su Chen's hand a few times and then pulled back quickly. Su Chen was oblivious, as a couple of bumps while walking were normal.

Just as Xiao Yaning was once again, secretly moving her hand closer, suddenly a bright green Rolls-Royce that had just passed by backed up...
