The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement Chapter 225 Go

225 Go
He Miao and Jing Yan followed Xu Meng’s family’s car to the entrance of the restaurant. Xu Meng’s parents immediately got out of the car to welcome them.
The Jing family was a well-known family in the country. He was undoubtedly a guest of the Xu family, not to mention that he was the future marriage partner of Xu Meng’s good friend.
They were afraid that the place they chose would not satisfy Jing Yan, so they only led him into the private room after asking for his opinion.
Jing Yan naturally sat next to He Miao, and Xu Meng sat on the other side. The other parents took their seats and placed the menu in front of Jing Yan and He Miao. They smiled and said, “Order whatever you like. You don’t have to be reserved.”
“I’ll treat you to this meal.” Jing Yan placed the menu in front of He Miao as if it was a matter of course, and gestured for her to order.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu waved their hands in refusal. “How can we let you treat us? you and Miaomiao are both our guests. How can we let our guests pay?”
They gave Xu Meng a look, hinting her to persuade He Miao and Jing Yan to change their minds.
There was no reason for them to let Jing Yan pay for this meal. If they really asked him to pay for it, how could they dare to let Xu Meng bring him back to their house in the future?
Xu Meng understood this as well. She held He Miao’s arm and joked with her, “Quickly tell your Jing Yan to stop paying. With our relationship, do we need to be so calculative over a meal?”
He Miao patted Xu Meng’s hand that was on her and smiled. “I know. I guess I’ll have to ask uncle and auntie to pay this time.”
“What’s the big deal about this?” Relieved, Father Xu and Mother Xu smiled. “Hurry up. It’ll take some time for the food to be served. Don’t go hungry.”
Xu Meng’s parents were very enthusiastic, and He Miao gradually lost her initial sense of restraint. After ordering a few dishes, she handed the menu to the waiter who was waiting on the side. The few people at the table started chatting again.
When they were eating, Jing Yan habitually picked up food for He Miao, causing Xu Zheng to frown.
He still did not like Jing Yan, but he had to admit that this kid was much more mature than he had imagined.
If Jing Yan was not pretending to be mature and careful, then he was indeed much better than other boys his age. No wonder He Miao was moved by him.
Mr. And Mrs. Xu were grinning from ear to ear as they watched the two of them being so loving.
Xu Meng rarely brought her friends home, let alone invite her classmates over for the new year. They could tell how close the two children were, so they unconsciously treated He Miao as family. Of course, they sincerely hoped that He Miao would be happy.
After the meal, the few of them had become completely familiar with each other while talking and laughing.
Xu Meng reluctantly sent the two of them to the car. She stood in the cold wind and giggled in the direction of the two of them.
Xu Zheng walked to her side and asked casually, “How much do you know about this Jing Yan kid?”
Xu Meng looked at her uncle doubtfully and stomped her feet in the cold. “I don’t know much about him. I’ve only met him a few times, but he has always been good to Miaomiao.”
Xu Zheng nodded slightly. The heavy stone in his heart was temporarily put down.
In the corner, a man sneered as he got into a car parked by the side of the road and followed behind quietly.
When He Miao and Jing Yan got home, the first thing they did was to call Xu Meng to tell her that they were safe.
Seeing them return so quickly, Old Master Jing asked in surprise, “Why don’t you guys stay outside and play for a while longer?”
“The weather was too cold, so I came back first. What’s Grandpa busy with?” He Miao took off her coat to prevent the cold air from blowing on Old Master Jing. After she had warmed up, she moved closer to him and looked at the book in his hand curiously.
She did not expect that Old Master Jing was reading a book on Go.
“I played a game with old Li just now and actually lost to him. I’m going to study the manual so that I can beat him later!” Old Master Jing put down his book and smiled in embarrassment.
Butler Li poured He Miao a cup of hot milk and filled Jing Yan and Old Master Jing’s cups with hot tea. Then, he stood aside and said with a smile, “For so many years, the old man has only lost to me once. He’s actually so serious. If I had known earlier, I would have let him win!”
Old Master Jing glared at him and said, “Who needs you to give in? Come, come, come, let’s play another game. I was careless just now, but this time I’ll definitely beat you.”
Jing Yan was drinking tea at the side, and when he saw He Miao flipping through the Go manual with great interest, he suddenly interrupted and suggested, “Why don’t you let Miaomiao play the next round with Grandpa?”
He Miao waved her hands and said with a troubled expression, “I don’t know how to play. I’ll let Butler Li play with Grandpa.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m here.” Jing Yan took the opportunity to move to He Miao’s side and sat down next to her. He held her slightly cold hand, picked up a piece, and slowly placed it in the middle of the chessboard.
