nThe kids stopped playing outside when their parents called them in.

nSong Xing Xing went into the house and lamented that she had not done anything according to plan. They were standing side by side and she should have the chance to flirt with him. However, she had wasted that chance and stood there like a statue and watched the kids playing basketball instead.

nAt this time, she had the urge to knock her head on the wall.

nSong Xing Xing, you idiot.

nThe guest has started to leave the banquet as Old Master Song retreated into his room to rest. Song Xing Xing accompanied her mother to send off the guest and exchanged a few words with Qiu Ling Yi, her high school friend. The two of them had not talked to each other after they graduated and were busy catching up and reminiscing old days.

nAt this time, a tall man walked over towards them. The man whispered a few words with Madam Qiu before he turned her head and look at Song Xing Xing.

nYe Ling Feng saw that the man was looking at her daughter and a smile curled on her lips. She tugged at Madam Qiu's hand and spoke,

"Isn't this is Qiu Yang? I haven't seen your son for years. It turned out that he had grown up tall and handsome.

"

n

"Madam Song,

" Qiu Yang flashed an amiable smile.

nYe Ling Feng began to look at the man from head to toe. The smile on her face widened. It could be seen on her face that she was satisfied with the man in front of him.

"I remember years ago, you went to the same school as Xing Xing right.

" Ye Ling Feng turned and dragged her daughter to her side.

"Xing Xing, you should remember Qiu Yang?

"

nSong Xing Xing looked at her mother with her eyes wide. She immediately understood her mother's intention and tried to give her mother a pleading look.

nHowever, her mother continued to ignore that look on her face. Instead, Ye Ling Feng started to talk to Madam Qiu about her. The moment her mother was about to mention her work, Song Xing Xing patted her mother's hand and sent her a warning gaze.

nBefore she moved to Capital City, Song Xing Xing had requested her family not to mention her works to the others. It would be too troublesome for her family if the others knew what she did in Capital City.

nFortunately, Ye Ling Feng noticed that she almost made a mistake and chose not to speak any further.

nBut who would have thought that the man did would suddenly take the initiative to speak to her?

n

"How long are you going to stay in Y City?

"

nSong Xing Xing looked at the man with a dumbfounded expression.

"Ah?

"

n

"If you have time, how about we have a meal together,

" Qiu Yang looked at his sister and smiled.

"Of course, with Ling Yi as well.

"

nSong Xing Xing was about to reject this invitation when Qiu Ling Yi chirped in and told her that she was going to invite a few of their high school friends. Seeing the girl's pleading gaze, Song Xing Xing agreed.

nIt is true that she had not met her friends for a while.

nJust as the Qiu family had left, Song Xing Xing tugged at her mother's hand and pouted.

"Mom, you have to stop trying to set me up with someone.

"

n

"Why not? You are still single anyway,

" Ye Ling Feng said.

"Haven't you heard? Most of your cousins are now in a relationship. You and your brothers are making me worry.

"

n

"Mom, have you forgotten what Grandfather had said? That year, when my cousin Song Yi ran to S Country to avoid that marriage with Miss Fang, he had warned not to interfere with our marriage.

" Song Xing Xing heaved a long sigh and spoke again.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. I already have someone that I liked. Stop setting me up with another person, alright?

"

nYe Ling Feng looked at her daughter with bright eyes.

"You have someone you like? Who is it? Do I know him?

"

nSong Xing Xing thought about that person and her expression turned shy.

"Mom, you don't know him. He's just someone that I worked with.

"

nMadam Song was even more excited. She saw the look on her daughter's face and knew that the girl should be telling her the truth. Her Xing Xing shouldn't have said these words just to make her happy, right?

"What's his name? Let me ask your father to run a background check on him.

"

nHearing her mother's suggestion, Song Xing Xing started to feel a little nervous. If Lu Xun knew that someone was running a background check on him, he would be unhappy.

nBesides, it was still too early to let her mother knew about the person she liked. Although Lu Xun is an excellent man, Song Xing Xing was worried that her family would not like him.

nShe should not think too much. At this time, Lu Xun hadn't even liked her yet. Song Xing Xing decided that it was too early to worry about this matter.

nSong Xing Xing pouted.

"Mom, didn't you trust my judgment? The man I have taken a fancy to shouldn't be a bad guy right? Mom… He did not even know that I liked him, alright?

"

n

"Ah?

" Ye Ling Feng looked at her daughter from head to toe. Her daughter is such an excellent girl. She's pretty, smart, and knew how to conduct herself well. How can it be that the man has not taken fancy to her daughter? Was that man blind?

n

"Mom…

" She called her mother with a sweet voice and tried to act coquettishly. Song Xing Xing grabbed her mother's hand and swung it around.

"Just let me deal with this matter, alright? When things change, I will let you be the first to know, alright?

"

nYe Ling Feng looked at her daughter's face and knew what was the girl up to. In the end, she had to reluctantly agree. However, at this time, she was making a plan on how to find out about the person that her daughter had taken a fancy to.

nThe mother and daughter turned around after exchanging a few more words.

nSong Xing Xing saw the man in front of her and halted in her steps.

nAt this time, her cousin, Song Yi, was sending the Zhang family and Lu Xun off.

nSong Xing Xing recalled the way she had acted coquettishly with her mother and was worried that he had seen her. She raised her head and met his gaze. Noticing the slight smile on his face, Song Xing Xing became embarrassed.

nThe smile on his face told her that he had seen her playful act and he was laughing at her.

nIt's ruined. Her good image was ruined!
