Days later, Long Shan received a phone call from Mr. Jiang, and his expression turned thoughtful as he listened to the proposal. He agreed to the dinner invitation and hung up the phone.
Later, at lunch, Long Shan informed Xiao Yu about the dinner plans. His expression turned serious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Get prepared, you are coming with me this weekend for a family dinner," he said, his voice firm.
Xiao Yu's expression turned surprised, her eyes widening slightly. "Really? You are having dinner with your family?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity.
Long Shan's expression turned annoyed, his eyebrows raising slightly. "Don't ask silly questions, just get yourself ready," he said, his voice firm.
Xiao Yu's expression turned defiant, her eyes sparkling with challenge. "What if I refuse?" she asked, her voice laced with sarcasm.
Long Shan's expression turned stern, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You don't have a choice, I decide for you," he said, his voice firm.
Xiao Yu scoffed, her expression disgusted, and continued her meal, avoiding Long Shan's gaze, her expression sulky.

During the weekend, Long Shan arrived with Xiao Yu at Mr. Jiang's mansion, and Xiao Yu's expression turned surprised, her eyes widening in amazement.
"This is Meili Jiang's house," she thought to herself, her expression fascinated.
As they entered the living room, everyone welcomed them warmly, their faces filled with smiles.
Meili's expression turned excited, her eyes sparkling with delight, as she hugged Xiao Yu tightly. "I'm so glad you're here," she said, beaming.
As they made their way to the dining table, Xiao Yu's expression turned amazed, her eyes scanning the variety of food spread out before them. Mr. Jiang's expression turned pleased, his eyes sparkling with hospitality. "I am so glad you could honor my invitation, Mr. Long," he said, smiling.
Long Shan's expression turned polite, his eyes sparkling with courtesy. "It's always a pleasure," he said, smiling.
Jiang Lifen's expression turned flirtatious, her eyes batting at Long Shan. "I am happy you are here," she said, smiling.
Jiang Yuze's expression turned friendly, his eyes sparkling with warmth, as he turned to Xiao Yu. "So, Xiao Yu, how are you doing? I didn't know when you left the party the other day," he said, smiling.
Xiao Yu's expression turned sheepish, her eyes avoiding Yuze's gaze. "Yeah, I just had to rush home because I got a time limit to spend at the party," she said, her voice laced with apology.
Yuze's expression turned grateful, his eyes sparkling with appreciation. "Oh, but anyway, thank you for the present, I love it," he said, smiling.
Xiao Yu's expression turned pleased, her eyes sparkling with delight. "You are welcome," she said, smiling.
Long Shan's expression turned stern, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After the mouthwatering meal, Mr. Jiang and Long Shan moved to the balcony alone, each with a glass of wine, while the rest of the group waited in the living room, engaged in discussion.
Mr. Jiang's expression turned grateful, his eyes sparkling with appreciation. "Thank you for coming once again, you don't know how happy I am now," he said, and they clinked their glasses together.
Long Shan's expression turned polite, his eyes sparkling with courtesy. "You don't have to, call me whenever you need my help and I will answer to you," he said, and they chuckled and sipped their wine.
Mr. Jiang's expression turned serious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I actually invited you for dinner because there is a proposal I need you to do for me," he said, and Long Shan nodded, his expression interested.
"Ok, what could that be?" Long Shan asked, his expression curious.
Mr. Jiang's expression turned cautious, his eyes sparkling with hesitation. As he proposed said it.

A while later, they joined the rest of the group in the living room, Mr. Jiang's face beaming with excitement, while Long Shan's expression remained expressionless. Jiang Lifen, noticing her father's smiling face, knew that things had gone well.
Long Shan's expression turned polite, his eyes sparkling with courtesy. "We will take our leave now," he said, shaking hands with Mr. Jiang, while Xiao Yu hugged Meili tightly.
Meili's expression turned sad, her eyes sparkling with disappointment. "See you in school on Monday," she said, smiling, as they pulled away from each other.
Yuze's expression turned teasing, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Alright, bye Xiao Yu," he said, smiling, as they left.
Jiang Lifen's expression turned curious, her eyes sparkling with interest. "Dad, what did he say? Did he agree?" she asked.
Mr. Jiang's expression turned cautious, his eyes sparkling with hesitation.
Meili's expression turned confused, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Agree to what?" she asked.
Mr. Jiang's expression turned evasive, his eyes avoiding Meili's gaze. "I have told him already, he said he will give me feedback soon," Mr. Jiang said.
Jiang Lifen's expression turned ecstatic, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Yuze's expression turned skeptical, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Why are you so happy? He hasn't said yes yet," he said.
Jiang Lifen's expression turned confident, her eyes sparkling with assurance.
Meili's expression turned confused, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What's going on?" she asked.
Jiang Lifen's expression turned mischievous, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, little sis, your big sis here is going to be the almighty handsome and most feared man in the universe's wife soon," she said.
Meili's expression turned shocked, her jaw dropping in surprise. "Who?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jiang Lifen's expression turned triumphant, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Long Shan!" she exclaimed, and Meili's expression turned stunned, her eyes wide with surprise.

Along the driveway, Long Shan's expression turned contemplative, his eyes narrowing slightly as he thought about the proposal Mr. Jiang had asked him. He was clearly troubled, his brow furrowed in concern. Xiao Yu, seated next to him but far away, was oblivious to his distress. Her expression turned carefree, her eyes sparkling with delight as she gazed out the window, smiling at every building they passed.
Some minutes later, they arrived home, and Xiao Yu's expression turned happy, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she hopped out of the car. Long Shan followed her, his expression still troubled, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yu's back.
As they walked inside, they were surprised to see a young lady dressed sexily in a black shirt and red heels, looking around the room. Her eyes met Long Shan's, and his expression turned surprised, his eyebrows raising slightly. He recognized her as the lady he had a one-night stand with some days ago. The lady's expression turned seductive, her eyes sparkling with flirtation as she smiled at Long Shan. Xiao Yu, oblivious to the tension, walked past her, her expression still happy.
