Li XinWen's gaze followed Sun Xiao as he held both boxes carefully. While Sun Xiao placed the two boxes on top of the cabinet nearby, Li JingHua and Li mother finally came out of the kitchen carrying various dishes and laying them on the dining table. "Ah'Xiao, there is a big serving bowl in the kitchen, can you help mom bring it over to the table?" Li mother asked Sun Xiao who went to the kitchen obediently.

Li XinWen's attention was captured by the competing aroma of the various dishes as they wafted to the living room. Turning his head towards the source of the tempting aroma, Li XinWen failed to notice the anomalous behavior exhibited by Xue Rui's gifts. To the naked eye, they looked like mere boxes but to an immortal's keen sense the boxes glowed. Emitting various shades of green and ember as both stones absorbed spiritual energy from its surroundings.

Xue Rui couldn’t help but notice this child-like behavior from Li XinWen. ‘Getting excited because of food…how precious. I want to hold him and just keep him in my arms,’ Xue Rui thought before reprimanding himself: ‘Now now Xue Rui…’

He made his way to the opposite sofa where Li XinWen sat and placed his hand on Li XinWen's shoulder. "Allow me to help you to the dining table XinWen."

He took XinWen's arm and placed it on his shoulder while Xue Rui's left arm snaked around XinWen's waist to support his weight. XinWen was about to make a protest but it was too late. When it came down to it, Xue Rui was considerably strong. He could feel Xue Rui's well-defined arm muscles with his arm wrapped around his waist.

"Am I impressing you yet XinWen?" Xue Rui teased with a mischievous smile on his face. This did not escape JingHua's scrutiny.

All the while watching Xue Rui's flirtatious behavior towards Li XinWen. ‘I guess he's no longer hiding his intentions. I wonder why I even fell in love with this man,’ she thought with exasperation.

They reached the dining table and Xue Rui helped Li XinWen sit comfortably. He made his way around and sat beside JingHua and addressed mother Li with a charming smile. "These all look delicious Madam Li. I can't wait to dig in!"

“Ah’Rui there is no need to be polite. Since we will be a family in the future, just call me mother!” because she did not know that Li JingHua and Xue Rui had already dissolved their engagement, she still thought that the two will soon get married.

“Alright, thank you for the food, mother!” Xue Rui replied, his smile became wider as he felt that he had just gotten mother Li’s approval. “In the future, I will make sure to take good care of your child.”

Xue Rui was cunning, making sure he used general terms instead of daughter or son. This way, other than Li JingHua who is in the know, the rest would assume he was referring to Li JingHua and not Li XinWen.

On the other hand, Li XinWen was cursing Xue Rui in his heart. ‘If you want to take good care of my sister, please do it properly! Why try to eat tofu with me when you two are engaged?!’
