When Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue were silent when they heard the scolding from the door, Xu Wenruo looked at each other indifferently. The expression on Xu Wenruo's face was very depressed. After all, he was criticized by his mother in front of his friends, and he must have felt embarrassed on his face.

"Didn't you ask me to come back as soon as possible? I came back quickly after following the order. Fortunately, you just scolded me."

"You guy, you're not that obedient..."

Ms. Deng Xinyu was halfway through her words. When she opened the door, she saw two people standing outside the door, and her expression was obviously stunned. She suddenly stopped halfway through her words.

"Who is this?"

"Her name is Qi Yue, she is my agent and a partner in the studio."

"Hello aunt."

Qi Yue's voice was very sweet, completely different from when she was talking to Xu Wenruo, so Xu Wenruo couldn't help but glance at her, but Qi Yue quickly glanced at Xu Wenruo, her eyes full of disdain.

"Oh, hello, please come in quickly! Qi Yue, right? Xu Wenruo has been taking care of you in the past two years."

Ms. Deng Xinyu was a little stunned, but she quickly reacted, and then directly greeted Qi Yue, leaving her own son aside. Xu Wenruo shook her head and walked in by herself, and then she didn't forget to close the door.

After Xu Wenruo entered the door, he saw Ms. Deng Xinyu and Qi Yue sitting on the sofa chatting, and they were having a very happy chat. They didn’t look like they had just met, but like friends they hadn’t seen for a long time. This opened Xu Wenruo’s eyes and couldn’t understand what was going on.

Xu Wenruo looked at them a few times and chose to come to the study. Xu Wenruo's father Xu Qing would normally stay in the study, either reading books or researching topics. Xu Wenruo has liked to stay in the study with his father since he was a child because there are a lot of books in it. Xu Wenruo has liked to read history books as story books since he was a child.

"Come back?"

Xu Qing raised his head from the book to look at Xu Wenruo, with a kind smile on his face, his eyes full of spoiling for Xu Wenruo. Although Xu Qing didn't say much, Xu Wenruo could feel the strong fatherly love from him.

"Well, the premiere is over, and I'm done. I'm free for a while. I'm going to have a good New Year peacefully this year."

"What, hasn't there been any notice recently?"

When Xu Wenruo said that he was idle this year, Xu Qing looked a little surprised. He knew how popular Xu Wenruo is at present. Therefore, when he heard Xu Wenruo say that he actually had time to stay at home for the New Year, his surprise was beyond words.

"I have rejected them all, and I can't answer the notice. I have been busy for the past two years. Now I want to have a good time to spend a good New Year, so I can spend more time with you."

"It's good to be idle. If you relax, you can think after calming down. If you are busy doing things, you will not see the way forward."

Xu Qing patted his son on the shoulder. He was still very satisfied with Xu Wenruo. He has made his own career now. Although it is different from the life he planned at the beginning, Xu Qing is a very open-minded person and will not be too restricted by Xu Wenruo. As long as Xu Wenruo is upright, any industry he does is a trivial matter.

"By the way, what about your mother? I haven't seen her come to the study to call someone today."

"I have a friend who comes to my house and they are chatting."

Xu Wenruo touched his nose, and the expression on his face was very helpless. Both the father and son knew what kind of person Ms. Deng Xinyu was. If it were normal, she would have come to the study room to pull Xu Wenruo out. Xu Qing was very surprised today's abnormal appearance.

Of course, what surprised Xu Qing even more was that Xu Wenruo actually brought a friend back. In fact, Xu Wenruo did not have many friends since he was a child. His usual cold temperament made people retreat from a distance. Therefore, there were not many people who could make friends with Xu Wenruo, let alone those who could invite Xu Wenruo to their home.

What's more, this friend could chat with Ms. Deng Xinyu, which was even more unusual, so Xu Qing became even more curious. He first glanced at Xu Wenruo and saw that Xu Wenruo's expression was a little awkward, so he stood up quietly and prepared to go to the living room to take a look.

"Oh? That's a rare guest, I have to go out to meet him."

Seeing Xu Qing's curious expression, Xu Wenruo could only follow him helplessly except in the study. When Xu Qing saw the young woman beside Ms. Deng Xinyu, he finally understood why the two of them could start chatting. In a sense, this woman was indeed a rare guest.

Xu Wenruo had never brought his female friends home, so that Xu Qing and Deng Xinyu misunderstood. Seeing Xu Qing's eyes, Xu Wenruo could only stand up and explain again.

"Dad, this is my agent Qi Yue, and my studio partner. I happened to come back from the premiere today, so I invited her to my house."

"Well, welcome, Xiao Qi, there are not many friends who can invite our Xu Wenruo home."

Xu Qing's words seemed to be meaningful, which made Xu Wenruo behind him very helpless and could only roll his eyes. Then his expression was seen by Qi Yue and Ms. Deng Xinyu on the opposite side. Ms. Deng Xinyu glared at Xu Wenruo, and Qi Yue chuckled.

So everyone then talked in a strange atmosphere until evening when Ms. Deng Xinyu finally thought of going to cook.

"Look, I almost forgot the time when chatting so much. Xu Qing, go chop the dumpling stuffing. I'll knead the noodles. Let's have dumplings tonight."

"Okay, you guys wait first, Xiao Qi, do you have any food to avoid?"

"No, I can eat it."

Seeing the enthusiasm of Xu’s father and mother, Qi Yue felt very heartwarming, especially when she saw the family of three happy, Qi Yue was actually very envious. Xu Qing and Deng Xinyu also took good care of Qi Yue’s feelings, which were even more close than their own son.

Xu Qing and Deng Xinyu both ran to the kitchen to work, and only Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue were left in the living room. They were silent. Unlike Xu Wenruo's faces, Qi Yue was in a good mood. She hadn't experienced this feeling of being cared for for a long time.

"It seems my parents misunderstood our relationship."

Xu Wenruo had already discovered the truth of the matter, but he had no choice but to argue about such a thing and could not explain it clearly.

"Oh? What did they misunderstand? Why didn't I see it?"

Qi Yue blinked, looking like she wanted to joke with Xu Wenruo. She pretended to be confused with her understanding, just to see Xu Wenruo's helpless look. There were not many things that could make Xu Wenruo helpless. Qi Yue felt very interesting.

"I don't believe you can't see it! They treat you as my girlfriend!"

"Oh? Isn't it?"

Qi Yue looked at Xu Wenruo with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all. Instead, she found it very interesting, as if she had grasped Xu Wenruo's handle and was ready to have fun with Xu Wenruo.

"Do you think so? When will I be your boyfriend?"

"It's OK now, I don't mind."

Qi Yue was very bold and even gave Xu Wenruo a charming look, but the smile at the corner of her mouth never stopped. She looked very happy.

"Okay, I'll tell them in a while, you're their daughter-in-law."

"Don't, I'm kidding."

When Qi Yue's tone became tough, she suddenly felt a little panicked. She first looked back at the movement in the kitchen, and then looked at Xu Wenruo with anger, as if she thought Xu Wenruo could not make a joke.

Looking at Qi Yue who had already surrendered, Xu Wenruo nodded with satisfaction. He was shameless and invincible. As expected, the world was invincible. Just when Xu Wenruo was still proud, Ms. Deng Xinyu's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

"Xu Wenruo! Come and help your dad chop meat!"

"good..."

Xu Wenruo seemed weak, and Qi Yue, who was beside her, chuckled. She first glanced at Xu Wenruo, and then shouted softly to the kitchen.

"Aunt Deng, do you want me to help you?"

"No need, let Xu Wenruo come! You can rest first, we will make dumplings together later."

Ms. Deng Xinyu heard Qi Yue's voice, poked her head out of the kitchen, showed a very kind smile to Qi Yue, and then changed her face instantly when facing Xu Wenruo, with an impatient look on her face.

Xu Wenruo now realized that changing faces in Sichuan opera is not a unique skill, but a reality!

With Ms. Deng Xinyu's support, Qi Yue seemed very happy. She blinked at Xu Wenruo again, her eyes full of provocation, but Qi Yue did not choose to rest. She followed Xu Wenruo and came to the kitchen together.

The kitchen of Xu Wenruo's house is not small, but after the four of them entered, the space became very crowded, so Qi Yue stood at the door and chatted with Ms. Deng Xinyu. The content of the chat was Xu Wenruo. Ms. Deng Xinyu kept revealing Xu Wenruo's childhood short stories and told a lot of interesting things about Xu Wenruo when she was a child, which made Xu Wenruo's face full of helplessness again.

Even Xu Wenruo wet the bed at the age of three, he had no impression of Xu Wenruo at all, because he was too young and didn't remember anything at all, but Ms. Deng Xinyu showed it out and said that it did not give Xu Wenruo any face.

But Ms. Deng Xinyu is Xu Wenruo's mother, and he had no choice but to put the anger in his heart on the dumpling filling in front of him. Xu Wenruo held his swords and his hands were up and down like a phantom. A crisp sound sounded on the cutting board, like a symphony.

Soon, Ms. Deng Xinyu made the noodles and then took everyone to make dumplings in the living room. At this time, she finally noticed her son's emotions and asked on her own initiative.

"Xu Wenruo! Are you going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year?"

When Xu Wenruo heard that Ms. Deng Xinyu was only concerned about this issue, she couldn't help rolling her eyes. Xu Wenruo had long refused the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, but Ms. Deng Xinyu was only now reminded to ask.

"I won't go anymore. I will have a rest during the Chinese New Year this year, and I won't receive any notices."

Xu Wenruo glanced at Qi Yue. Qi Yue wanted Xu Wenruo to continue participating in the Spring Festival Gala. This not only maintained Xu Wenruo's popularity, but also took the opportunity to promote the movie. Last year, Xu Wenruo continued the title of the Spring Festival Gala, which made the box office of the movie soar.

However, Xu Wenruo refused fiercely. He wanted to have a good rest and didn't want to rush the notice. In the end, Qi Yue did not turn around Xu Wenruo and could only turn off the notice and let Xu Wenruo have a good New Year.

When Xu Wenruo heard Ms. Deng Xinyu's old story re-report, her eyes turned to Qi Yue, but she thought she couldn't see it, lowered her head to make dumplings, and ignored Xu Wenruo at all.

"By the way, Xiao Qi, when are you going to go home for the New Year? It has been hard to work with Xu Wenruo in the past two years. Since you don't have to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this time, then go home for the New Year early. If Xu Wenruo disagrees, I will give you a holiday. This brat dares not listen to me! I will beat him up!"

"Thank you, Aunt Deng. I don't plan to go home for the New Year this year. The movie has just been released and there is still a lot of work to do."

"How can this work? Although the movie is a big deal, I can't help but go home for a reunion. I'll ask Xu Wenruo to help you work. Anyway, he's been very idle at home during the day recently."

Xu Wenruo stared at Ms. Deng Xinyu with wide eyes. He now seriously doubted whether he was his biological daughter or whether Qi Yue was her biological daughter.

Seeing Xu Wenruo's eyes, Ms. Deng Xinyu glared at him, and then she was about to use her face-filled hands to pull Xu Wenruo's ears, which scared Xu Wenruo to avoid it directly.

"No need, Aunt Deng, there is nothing to go back to in my family, so it's easier to stay in the capital."

At the repeated invitation of Ms. Deng Xinyu, Qi Yue was both moved and uncomfortable. She could feel it. Ms. Deng Xinyu did care about him very much. Although there were some misunderstandings, Qi Yue still felt warm in her heart.

Seeing the change in Qi Yue's expression, Deng Xinyu also noticed something was wrong, so she stopped asking Qi Yue, but looked at Xu Wenruo on the side. Xu Wenruo didn't say anything about this question, so she shook her head at Ms. Deng Xinyu.

Although Xu Wenruo and Ms. Deng Xinyu seem to be in harmony, in fact, their mother-son relationship is very good. When Xu Wenruo was young, Ms. Deng Xinyu always took Xu Wenruo to her workplace, which is the folk orchestra in Beijing. It was here that Xu Wenruo became a person who was proficient in all kinds of musical instruments.

After a small move by Xu Wenruo, Ms. Deng Xinyu immediately understood what he meant and understood that this matter might be Qi Yue's indescribable secret. So she no longer asked Qi Yue to go home for the New Year as soon as possible, but instead did the opposite.

"Xiao Qi, how can I celebrate the New Year alone? That's so lonely. Otherwise, come to our house for the New Year. Aunt Deng makes delicious food for you, okay?"
