Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Date

"Is everything taken care of?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked as Shen Siyuan returned.

"Taken care of. Let’s continue with dinner," Shen Siyuan said.

"By the way, I have something to tell you. My mom might come to Bin Hai in the near future."

"Your mom is coming to Bin Hai? To meet me?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised.

"She didn’t say, but I guess that’s the reason," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Then let’s meet. It’s not like I’m someone who can’t be seen," Shen Siyuan said.

He was serious about his relationship with Ruan Hongzhuang, it wasn’t just for fun, so naturally, he wouldn’t oppose meeting her parents.

"Thank you." Ruan Hongzhuang was very happy to hear that.

Actually, before she spoke these words, she was a bit nervous and afraid that Shen Siyuan might not want to meet her parents.

This isn’t unusual, many couples aren’t fond of meeting each other’s parents unless it’s necessary for wedding discussions. But clearly, they hadn’t reached that stage yet.

"By the way, how does your mom know about me?"

Shen Siyuan dipped a piece of lamb into the hot pot and casually asked.

"Of course through moments on social media. I never blocked them," Ruan Hongzhuang said, as if it was obvious.

The first time Shen Siyuan appeared on her social media display, Ruan Hongzhuang’s parents asked about him on WeChat since she mentioned her new boyfriend. They were quite happy for Ruan Hongzhuang since she was already 28 years old, and having a boyfriend was normal.

What they thought was merely a boyfriend relationship, soon seemed to be taking a serious turn towards marriage through her posts on social media.

Given her family’s standing and having Ruan Hongzhuang as the only daughter, they were concerned about her potential match. Dating was fine, but marriage needed to be considered cautiously.

That’s why Ruan Hongzhuang’s mother wanted to come to Bin Hai, under the guise of missing her daughter, to meet Shen Siyuan and vet him for her daughter.

After explaining to Si Yuan that her parents knew of him through her social media posts, Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly realized something.

She looked up at Shen Siyuan, with a bit of anticipation, and asked, "Didn’t your parents ask about me?"

"No," Shen Siyuan replied.

Frowning, Ruan Hongzhuang remembered the reaction of Si Yuan’s colleagues when she first met them.

She was in Si Yuan’s social media circles, having posted many of her own photos visible to all his connections; thus, his colleagues shouldn’t have reacted that way. She hadn’t thought much about it at the time.

"Did you block them?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked, feeling a bit disappointed and slightly angry.

Her efforts seemed meaningless now.

Realizing this, Shen Siyuan laughed and said, "When I add friends, I usually just set it to chat only, so only a very few old friends can see my posts."

Ruan Hongzhuang pouted unhappily then reached out her hand and said, "Can I see your phone?"

"Of course," Shen Siyuan handed his phone over.

He was somewhat of a homebody ourselves, aside from cloud storage, his phone was quite clean.

And accessing cloud storage needed a password. Sure, you could use phone message login, but he believed Ruan Hongzhuang wouldn’t go to the extent of checking his cloud storage.

Ruan Hongzhuang opened Shen Siyuan’s phone, tapped on "Chat-only friends," seeing a long list, almost as sizable as his complete friends list.

She then opened his moments and saw that the latest post was actually made by her using Si Yuan’s phone, with very few likes and only a handful of comments.

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t remove those chat-only friends, but rather unhappily handed the phone back to him.

"Do these things matter to you?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

"Of course, I’m serious about our relationship, not just fooling around," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Alright, next time I go back, you can come with me," Shen Siyuan said.

Ruan Hongzhuang was initially delighted, then pretended to be demure, "Isn’t that too soon?"

"Then let’s forget it," Shen Siyuan teased her.

"Hmph~" Ruan Hongzhuang scrunched up her nose, glaring at him.

Shen Siyuan placed a fish ball in her bowl, "Come on, eat. After we finish, let’s take a walk nearby to help digest."

Still huffing, Ruan Hongzhuang picked up the fish ball and took a big bite.

Then she exclaimed in surprise as the fish ball fell back into her bowl, splashing a few drops of soup onto the back of her hand.

"Are you okay? Did you burn yourself?"

Shen Siyuan was a bit nervous, pulling Ruan Hongzhuang’s hand over and wiping it with a tissue.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s hands were beautiful, with slender jade-like fingers, well-maintained and flawless. Shen Siyuan felt pity at the thought of her possibly getting a burn scar.

"It’s all your fault."

Ruan Hongzhuang was on the verge of tears, and her mouth had also been scalded, making her speech somewhat muffled.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault." Shen Siyuan was the first to apologize.

Then, a faint green glow emanated from his fingertips, and Ruan Hongzhuang only felt a slight coolness on the back of her hand. The slightly swollen burn disappeared in an instant, returning to its fair and jade-like appearance.

Seeing such a miraculous scene, Ruan Hongzhuang was not surprised but childishly pouted her lips forward, indicating that her mouth was also scalded.

Just then, Shen Siyuan slightly rose and gently kissed her lips.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang pulled her head back discontentedly and glared at Shen Siyuan, saying, "Don’t kiss me."

After she finished speaking, she realized that her mouth didn’t hurt anymore.

"Alright, don’t be mad, next time I go home, I’ll take you with me."

"When are you going home?" Ruan Hongzhuang no longer pretended and directly asked.

"I don’t know." Shen Siyuan said.

"You’re still brushing me off." Ruan Hongzhuang was quite dissatisfied.

"Not at all. Remember, we planned to move this Saturday, did you forget? And on Sunday, I decided to visit Tang Tang again." Shen Siyuan said.

"Fine then, but remember what you said." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"I know. Let’s eat now, take it slow this time, watch out for the heat." Shen Siyuan placed some crab meat into her bowl.

After dinner, they left the Yindu Building, where it was exceptionally lively outside.

Especially in front of the Yindu Building, there was a vast open square where many children were playing.

Suddenly, a skateboard slid over and hit Ruan Hongzhuang’s ankle.

Ruan Hongzhuang stepped lightly, causing the skateboard to tilt, and then she stood on it, gracefully circling around Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan looked surprised, not expecting Ruan Hongzhuang to have such a skill.

Her skilled movements clearly showed she was no novice. With fluid and stylish actions, she looked incredibly dashing at that moment.

"You can actually skateboard?"

"Humph, there’s a lot I can do." Ruan Hongzhuang said with slight pride.

"Really?"

"Of course, you’ve really lucked out with me."

Before Shen Siyuan could ask what else she could do, a little boy ran over.

"Sister... this is my skateboard." the little boy said.

Ruan Hongzhuang tapped her toe lightly, stepped off the skateboard, exerting a bit of force with her toe, sending the skateboard back to the little boy.

"Sister, you’re really good at skateboarding." the little boy said looking at Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Practice more, and you can be as good as me," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Sister, can you teach me?" the little boy asked hopefully.

Before Ruan Hongzhuang could answer, Shen Siyuan stepped in front of her, replying, "No."

The little boy glanced at Shen Siyuan, then said to Ruan Hongzhuang, "Sister, your boyfriend is really stingy."

Without waiting for Shen Siyuan to respond, he picked up his skateboard and ran off.

"Tsk," Shen Siyuan gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Are you jealous of a child?"

"Who’s jealous? Who’s jealous? Stop talking nonsense..."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

While they were talking, Shen Siyuan caught sight of Junhui in the corner, the man who had just told him a story. He hadn’t left yet, and when he saw Shen Siyuan looking at him, he bowed deeply to him before turning and walking away.

Ruan Hongzhuang noticed Shen Siyuan’s gaze and followed it, but saw nothing.

"What are you looking at?

"Want to hear a story?"

"Sure..."
