Gu Man wanted to break free, but when she thought of their relationship, her hand moved, but she did not break free.
Xiang Yin took this opportunity to increase the strength in his hand and tightly wrapped Gu Man’s small hand in his palm.
The heat passed from her palm to Gu Man’s, bringing with it a numbing feeling.
After a few minutes, they finally stopped praising. Only then did Elder Xiang introduce their identities to her.
When it was Xiang Li’s turn, before Elder Xiang could speak, Xiang Li spoke first.
“Manman, we’ve met.”
The corners of Gu Man’s lips twitched as she held Xiang Li’s outstretched hand tightly.
After introducing them one by one, Elder Xiang brought her into the room. The table was already filled with food.
Gu Man sat down beside Elder Xiang and Xiang Yin. She looked at the bag in her hand and decided to hand it to Elder Xiang.
She took out a beautifully decorated wooden box from the bag and placed it in front of Elder Xiang. As for the others, she did not expect there to be so many people here, so she did not plan to give away the remaining gifts. She would make up for it next time.
Elder Xiang did not expect Gu Man to bring him a gift. The smile on his face widened.
He took the gift with a smile, but he did not intend to open it in front of so many people.
Elder Xiang said a few more polite words, and the atmosphere surrounding the entire dining table quickly became lively. Perhaps it was because there were many people, but there was no silence during the meal as Gu Man had imagined.
After the entire meal, Elder Xiang did not ask many questions related to Gu Man. Occasionally, he would only ask if the food was to her liking. The way they interacted made her feel at ease and there was no urgency.
It was hard to imagine that such a large family was actually the Xiang family of the four great families. The family was harmonious and was no different from an ordinary family.
During the meal, Xiang Yin was afraid that Gu Man would be reserved and kept putting food into her bowl.
The meal was quickly finished. When they arrived at the living room, Elder Xiang invited Gu Man to sit beside him with a smile.
“Child, I know that you must have suffered a lot following Xiang Yin. He has always been like a block of wood. He doesn’t know how to be interesting or flexible. You have to understand him more usually. If he dares to bully you, tell me. I definitely won’t let him off.”
Xiang Yin handed the tea in his hand to Gu Man and poured a cup of tea for Elder Xiang.
“Grandpa, I’m still here. Can’t you say anything nice about me?”
Fortunately, she was only pretending to be his girlfriend. If she was really his girlfriend, wouldn’t she have run away overnight with her luggage when she heard this?
However, when he thought about how their relationship could only be on the surface, Xiang Yin could not help but feel a little disappointed.
He suppressed the disappointment in his heart and smiled. He sat down beside Gu Man and took this opportunity to hook her hand.
Gu Man did not reject his intimacy for the entire day. It was probably because of this fake identity that Xiang Yin took the opportunity to get some benefits for himself.
Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, he could not help but curl his lips affectionately. However, this illusion would disappear very quickly.
“Actually, Xiang Yin might look old, but he has always known how to dote on others. He just doesn’t know how to speak well. So don’t blame him for being sullen and not likable. After interacting with him, you’ll realize that he’s actually…”
At this point, Elder Xiang did not know how to continue perfecting it. He had been with Xiang Yin for so long and he had always been a quiet person. He did not tell anyone anything. Elder Xiang really could not lie.
Gu Man looked at Elder Xiang, who had stopped talking, and the corners of her lips curled up. She considerately gave him a way out.
“I know.”
Xiang Yin was speechless. For a moment, he did not know if Elder Xiang was sent by his love rival to destroy his marriage.
“In short, he’s a very good person. Moreover, the relationship of our family is very harmonious. We’re definitely not like the other four families who prioritize power. You saw it today. They’re all very harmonious..”
