After spending a day at the company helping Ying Xiaoya reconcile accounts, the time had come for Cheng Su to visit her home for dinner as agreed. Cheng Su left first; she needed to go home and wait to head over with Qi Taiguo, and of course, Ying Xiaoya would naturally be accompanied by Ning Ge.
Cheng Su quietly pulled Ning Ge aside and instructed him to buy some nice gifts; it was improper to arrive empty-handed.
"Why?" Ning Ge was somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t it just a meal?
Cheng Su glared at him, "You’re appearing with Xiaoya, and you think it’s okay to show up at someone’s home without a gift? Where are your manners?"
The dumb kid either genuinely didn’t understand or was pretending not to. As for the Ying family inviting them for a meal, it was probably not just about Xiaoya mingling with her colleagues but also about Ning Ge.
"Then I’ll just go with you all!" Ning Ge genuinely didn’t understand.
Cheng Su rolled her eyes and said, "It’s all settled. Don’t be a third-wheeling electric light bulb to me and Old Qi."
Ning Ge didn’t understand the sayings Cheng Su occasionally threw out, but he got the implied message that he should stay out of it, prompting him to mutter, "Choosing romance over friendship."
Cheng Su didn’t bother with him and reiterated her instructions before hurrying off with her bag.
As for the hosts, the Ying family also took the dinner invitation seriously. Director Ying, Xiaoya’s mother, had taken a half-day off specifically to prepare ingredients for dinner at the farmer’s market, and she had repeatedly reminded County Chief Ying to come home early so the guests would have someone to accompany them.
As evening arrived, the daughter was the first to return, with the handsome young man Ning Ge by her side, just as Director Ying had hoped.
