Chapter 261: 261 saw Xu Boyan’s dad_1

They quickly arrived at Xu Mansion, and Lu Qingyi got out of the car, holding a box.

"Let me help you with that."

Xu Boyan reached out to take the box from Lu Qingyi.

"No need, I’ve got it."

Lu Qingyi shook her head and said, still holding the box.

The Xu Mansion was all quiet; not even a servant was in sight.

"My mother gave the housekeeper the day off."

Seeing Lu Qingyi’s confusion, Xu Boyan explained.

Gu Xiang wanted to spend some quality time with her future daughter-in-law, so she had sent away all the servants and housekeepers. She had even cooked the meals herself.

"Did the auntie prepare all the meals by herself today?"

Lu Qingyi asked Xu Boyan in surprise.

In the novels she had read, if a future in-law sent away the servants and cooked meals themselves for their son’s girlfriend, it either meant they did not want to deal with potential embarrassment in front of servants, or they held the girlfriend in great regard. She was unclear about which one was her case.

"Yes, my mom said she wanted you to taste her cooking. She’s a pretty good cook, but she doesn’t do it often because my dad is reluctant to let her."

Xu Boyan walked over to Lu Qingyi, gently tousled her hair, and said.

He was also reluctant to let his girlfriend do the cooking. He’d handle that responsibility in the future.

"Ah, our beautiful daughter-in-law has arrived, come on in, don’t linger at the door."

The main door suddenly opened, and Gu Xiang, with a broom in hand, immediately put it down as soon as she saw Lu Qingyi. She came forward to grab Lu Qingyi’s hand.

Xu Boyan was entirely left out of the interaction.

Xu Boyan: "..."

Perhaps he really was not their biological child.

Seeing Lu Qingyi being welcomed so warmly by his own mother, he felt genuinely happy.

"Auntie, this is for you and uncle."

Lu Qingyi chuckled and handed the box she was carrying to Gu Xiang.

"Oh my, it’s enough that you came; there’s no need to bring gifts."

"And don’t call me auntie, call me mom."

"Didn’t I tell you last time? Why are you calling me auntie again?"

Gu Xiang took the box, her eyebrows knitting slightly. There was a hint of displeasure in her voice.

She still wanted to hear Lu Qingyi call her "mom". The title "auntie" just felt odd to her.

"Mom."

Without any hesitation, Lu Qingyi addressed her accordingly.

"Come, your mom has prepared dishes you like. I want you to taste them."

Gu Xiang led Lu Qingyi into the house by her hand.

Xu Boyan stood still outside, heaving a helpless sigh.

He, the son, was obviously not the focus here. Gu Xiang barely glanced at him; her eyes were fixed on Lu Qingyi.

"Is this Qingyi?"

Xu Hang was sitting on the living room couch, and as he looked at Lu Qingyi, a warm smile appeared on his face.

The love in his eyes was obvious when he looked at Gu Xiang.

Xu Hang and Xu Boyan looked very alike, except for the age difference.

Lu Qingyi: "Hello, uncle."

"Oh, such a pretty girl, Boyan is indeed very lucky."

Xu Hang looked at Lu Qingyi with a genial smile, feeling quite satisfied.

His mischievous son had finally wisened up to find a girlfriend.

Xu Boyan, who had just entered the house, was speechless.

His father....

Fine, he might really have no place in this house.

Gu Xiang glared at Xu Hang. Puzzled, he scratched the back of his head, clueless about what Gu Xiang meant.

Gu Xiang likes Lu Qingyi, so she naturally goes along with Gu Xiang’s opinion.

What does Gu Xiang mean by glaring at him now?

"Girl, you called me mom already, shouldn’t you also switch to calling Boyan’s father dad?"

Gu Xiang holds Lu Qingyi’s hand; her voice especially pleasant and gentle when she speaks.

"Huh?"

Lu Qingyi feels a bit dumbfounded, staring at Xu Hang without uttering a word for a long time.

It seems, she feels somewhat awkward.

"Hiss."

Gu Xiang moves forward, stepping on Xu Hang’s foot, "Calling uncle doesn’t sound nice, call him dad."

Gu Xiang glares at Xu Hang, her meaning exceedingly clear.

Xu Hang finally understands. Lu Qingyi just called him uncle and he agreed, that’s why Gu Xiang is unhappy.

He should let Lu Qingyi call him dad, then the address would be in accord with Boyan’s.

"Qingyi, don’t call me uncle anymore, start calling me dad."

Xu Hang shrugged his shoulder as he said it.

He usually is a stern man, but before Gu Xiang, he seemed to become a different person.

"I’ve been always calling you old Xu."

Boyan remarks from the side, his voice slightly cold.

Gu Xiang:"..."

Xu Hang:"..."

Fine, Boyan indeed rarely calls Xu Hang father, mostly calling him old Xu.

Lu Qingyi:"..."

She glances at Boyan, then at Gu Xiang and Xu Hang, "Hello, mom and dad."

She addresses Gu Xiang and Xu Hang, her voice sounding especially natural.

The issue about addressing, it needed to change sooner or later, even though it’s a bit early now, it doesn’t matter.

"Oh, hello, daughter-in-law."

Gu Xiang and Lin Hang simultaneously respond.

"Sit down and eat, Boyan said you especially like green peppers, so I made these especially for you."

At the dining table, Gu Xiang passes a dish of green peppers to Lu Qingyi, slowly opening her mouth to speak.

The big green peppers are stuffed with glutinous rice, pork and some seasonings, all of which are wrapped inside the pepper, smelling delicious.

Lu Qingyi looks at the dishes on the table and realizes that every dish has green pepper in it.

Green peppers with shredded pork, green peppers with scrambled eggs, green peppers with beef, green peppers with pork liver, green peppers with tofu, green peppers...

There are a lot of dishes, it seems they all are specially made to accommodate the taste she likes. Lu Qingyi gets a little teary seeing the dishes on the table.

Gu Xiang really thoughtful.

Gu Xiang asks: "Do you like it?"

"Thank you, mom."

Lu Qingyi looks up, the rim of her eyes slightly reddening, she’s truly touched.

She likes it, likes it very much.

"Oh dear, don’t cry."

Seeing the redness around Lu Qingyi eyes, Gu Xiang panics a bit.

"Kiddo, don’t be sad, my mom is your mom, don’t think too much, okay?"

Boyan gently embraces Lu Qingyi in his arms, softly comforting her, his voice soft and gentle.

He knows, the kid must be crying because she feels touched.

Lu Qingyi buries her head in Boyan’s chest, nodding slightly.

She feels somewhat embarrassed, since Boyan’s parents are present.

Boyan gives Gu Xiang a slight shake of his head, Gu Xiang immediately understands, looking at Lu Qingyi with some pity.

Oh, this child.
