Chapter 14: A Big Family of Relatives
The NT results could be obtained on the same day. They waited for about an hour before getting the report. All values were normal, which finally put Li Zhenguan at ease.
However, by this time, it was already noon.
Just as they left the hospital, Li Zhenguan's phone rang. He listened to something on the other end, hesitantly glanced at Wang Zhao several times, then shook his head, saying some words of refusal.
But soon, the other side seemed to say something else, and Li Zhenguan looked at Wang Zhao hesitantly, clearly having something to say.
Wang Zhao noticed this, sighed, and smiled, "What's the matter?"
The other person looked at her several times, the action was so obvious that it couldn't be ignored.
"My father called and said he wants you to come to my house for lunch," Li Zhenguan said slowly, meeting Wang Zhao's gaze. Knowing he couldn't hide it, he added, "My uncle and aunt are also here today, saying they want to meet you."
The day after tomorrow would be the meeting of both families' parents. Most of Li's family members hadn't met Wang Zhao yet, so they were naturally curious. However, Li's parents hadn't told the relatives about Li Zhenguan's current pregnancy, wanting to keep it a secret for a while, as a shotgun wedding doesn't sound good.
"It's okay if you refuse, I'll just tell my parents," Li Zhenguan quickly said when he saw Wang Zhao lower her eyes in thought, afraid she might be a bit angry. "It's just that they haven't met you, so they're a bit..."
Before he could finish, a familiar voice interrupted him: "No need to refuse, I'll go to your house for lunch."
Since the two families had already decided to become in-laws, there was no need for her to make petty refusals. She would have to meet those relatives eventually, so it wouldn't hurt to get familiar earlier.
"Last time I only met your father, this time I should meet your mother too," she referred to Li Zhenguan's mother.
Li Zhenguan then smiled, his brows curving, his entire face glowing, tinged with a layer of sunlight's unique radiance.
"Wang Zhao, you're so good," the man said. He looked genuinely happy.
Wang Zhao didn't say anything about Li Zhenguan's sudden happiness, she just smiled, "Let's go, don't keep them waiting."
"Mm," Li Zhenguan nodded.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped outside a villa. This was a group of hillside villas, home to nobles and aristocrats, every household was wealthy.
Several cars were parked outside the door. A young man was at the door, opening a car door to get something. He looked up just as Li Zhenguan and Wang Zhao got out of their car.
"Zhenguan," the young man was holding a charger in his hand, his gaze involuntarily moved to the person beside Li Zhenguan, and he was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected his cousin's girlfriend to have such a good appearance, with a cold temperament. Just that her lips were too thin, looking like a cold and aloof person, not easy to approach.
When he first heard Yaoao and others talking about it, he thought his cousin's girlfriend was a scholarly woman. His cousin had a delicate personality, and a scholarly woman with a gentle personality should be easy to get along with. He didn't expect that when they actually met, this girlfriend's temperament was so different.
Li Zhenguan, however, frowned almost imperceptibly when he saw the young man, his steps faltering slightly. He unconsciously glanced at Wang Zhao, saw that her expression hadn't changed, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and a familiar smile appeared on his face.
"Cousin, why are you here?" His father hadn't mentioned on the phone at the hospital that his cousin was coming too.
The young man, who was Zhu Xishan, smiled, "Not just me, Cousin Wan is here too, saying she wants to check you out." Cousin Wan was the one working at the prosecutor's office.
After he finished speaking, he naturally turned his head to look at the woman beside Li Zhenguan.
Li Zhenguan hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and introduced, "Cousin, this is my girlfriend Wang Zhao, you can just call her by name."
Then he said to Wang Zhao, "This is my cousin Zhu Xishan, about the same age as you."
This time he didn't mention how to address him. Wang Zhao vaguely sensed that Li Zhenguan's mood wasn't quite right, but couldn't pin it down. She couldn't help but look at Li Zhenguan beside her, just meeting his gaze. He was stunned for a moment, then instinctively smiled at her again.
In this exchange of looks and smiles, Wang Zhao didn't notice that the young man opposite had been stunned when Li Zhenguan said her name, and couldn't help but look at her several times.
The three of them returned to the villa together, no one saying anything. Zhu Xishan looked at Wang Zhao several times, all of which she ignored. Maybe he was just curious, she didn't think much of it.
As soon as they entered, they found the living room filled with people, chatting and laughing. Men and women almost filled the sofas, and two children were playing with Lego blocks on the fluffy carpet.
