15 The harmonious dinner

When Hei Lin reached home, others are almost ready for dinner.

Tang Fei is also going along with the Hei family to attend the dinner.

Even though Hei Rong didn't accept him yet, he doesn't want to make things difficult for Tang Fei.

Moreover, there is nothing Hei Rong found in him as troublesome to make a fuss about later.

He is not entirely against Tang Fei, but just not confident enough to accept their relationship and approve their marriage.

As soon as she saw Hei Lin, Lao Fengxi asked her to get ready faster to leave for the dinner.

Hei Lin saying, "mamma, it will take just 10 minutes to get ready," went into her room.

She took a bath as soon as going into her room and wore a simple white crop top along with ripped blue jeans.

She applied lotion and cream to her face and kajal to her eyes.

Adorning her left hand with a bracelet of stars dangling at the edge and right hand with a black color watch and combed her hair in a ponytail.

Hei Lin got ready in just 15 minutes and came out of her room.

She said, "mamma and daddy I am ready where are you all, we are getting late come fast, Shall I inform Dao Shen to come directly to Lao Kuanshi."

Lao Fengxi shouted. "yes" from her room and said she would be out in 5 minutes.

Lao Fengxi dressed in a full-length black gown, and Hei Rong dressed in a black shirt and black trousers matching his wife.

Hei Qing dressed in a navy blue floral knee-length gown and Tang Fei in a blue shirt and black trousers came out of their room hand in hand.

Tang Fei and Hei Qing suited each other perfectly like a match made in heaven. Hei Lin and Lao Fengxi complimented them, saying,

"You both are looking so adorable. Perfectly matching with each other."

This scene became an eyesore for Hei Rong, he wanted to spout some nonsense, but he kept his mouth shut with a glare from his wife.

Tang Fei took them to Lao Kuanshi in his car.

Lao Kuanshi is just a little bit far from where Hei Lin and Hei Qing were staying, so it took half an hour for them to reach there.

Even though it's just a little bit far, since it a buzzing night, traffic is heavy with the people leaving work and going back home.

Xiang li is getting ready for the dinner. He specifically prepared all the dished himself for dinner.

Hei Lin is a strict vegetarian and picky about food. Most of the dishes were prepared according to her taste.

Hei Qing is not picky, and she loves chicken; hence he prepared chicken soup porridge.

When the family and Tang Fei reached the restaurant, it was already half past 8 in the evening.

When they reached into the private dining room, they saw Dao Shen helping Xiang li to bring the dishes out of the kitchen.

Dao Shen immediately left the dining table and hugged Hei Lin, welcoming others.

He rushed back into the kitchen room in the inner layer of the restaurant and informed Xiang Li about their arrival.

Xiang li ordered others to bring remaining dishes to the dining room and came out to meet with the Hei family.

When he saw Hei Lin, his eyes lit up with tenderness and frowned immediately, looking at Tang Fei and Hei Qing.

He muttered to himself, "what an eyesore, why did he have to come along with them..?"

Hei lin suppressing her laughter said, "grandpa Li, you were something we didn't hear, what is it..?"

Hei Qing narrowed her eyes at him, asking, "Hey! Old man, are you cursing me under your breath for coming with Tang Fei..? Don't even dare to think about driving him away."

"You.. xiao Lin, look at her warning me in my place. Why don't you get a boyfriend for yourself..?" Xiang Li transferred his frustration towards Hei Lin.

Looking at Xiang Li and Hei Qing bickering, others laughed and took their seats for dinner.

Hei lin sat beside Xiang Li on her right Hei Rong and Lao Fengxi. To Xiang li left, sat Dao Shen and then Hei Qing along with Tang Fei.

Xiang Li asked Tang Fei about him, where did he live and to which family he belongs.

Even though he is quite confident about Hei Qing's choice, he is still worried about her.

He was being an elder, its quite common for worrying about younger generations.

Even though Hei Rong didn't like Hei Lin being closer to Xiang Li than him, he still treats him as his father.

Xiang li after listening to Tang Fei, thinking he is quite pleased with his background and nodded at him approving their relationship.

Hei Lin secretly cherished to have one more supporter on her side for convincing her father for their marriage.

Xiang li looking at Dao Shen asked, " ah Shen, do you don't have any romantic feeling towards Hei Lin..?

I think you both will make a good pair with the amount of understanding you have for each other.

What do you both think about this..?" he asked, looking at Lao Fengxi and Hei Rong.

Hei Rong said holding, Hei Lin's hand "yes, Dao Shen, think about it.

I will be more relaxed if you both get married. what do you think xiao, Lin."

Before Hei Lin could answer holding Xiang Li's hand, Doa Shen said, "elder li, you already have our answer. We have a pure friendship between us. It is not going to turn into love.

Moreover, I believe we will stay with each other as best friends for life." he further added.

Hei Rong and Xiang Li shaking their head dropped the topic and started discussing business. Servants came out with all the dishes and served them.

Xiang Li added more food into Hei Lin's plate and said, "Lin eat more, you have become thinner these days.

You younger people are more concerned about your figure than health.

Look at Hei Qing how healthy she is; you have to more careful about your health. Hei Qing is not even that picky about food."

With food in her mouth, Hei Qing said, "Yes, grandpa, I am not at all picky with food, but xiao Lin is different."

Lao Fengxo added, "yes, xiao lin, you should eat more. Ah, Shen, is there work more in the office..?" she asked Dao Shen.

Not that much aunt Lao, "I was away from the office for an abroad trip. Don't worry, and I will take care of her."

Xiang Li also said, "Hei Rong even you are also quite worn out and is thinner than Hei Lin.

You are a doctor, what are you teaching to the kids..?" frowning at Hei Rong.

Hei Rong coughed slightly embarrassed with the scolds, "yes, father Li, I will take care stop scolding me in front of the kids okay..?

Xiang Li laughed loudly and continued eating, saying, "okay, okay, let's eat."

He insisted on calling him father li, Hei Rong unable to object his kindness, and he obliged the request.

Xiang Li always felt Hei family as his own, and they also never made him feel out of the family.

Even though at times he nags, they are willing to accompany his requests in his old days.

Dao Shen also never rejected him. He is quite happy with all the love he is receiving.

In his heart, he will always be grateful to Hei Lin because of whom he got a lovely family.

They had their dinner happily while chatting about random things. Even Tang Fei felt quite happy about this gathering.

He felt happy to choose Hei Qing as his girlfriend, unlike the cold atmosphere in his house.

Overbearing parents and strict grandfather is quite challenging to soothe. In their family, he never saw a single moment as harmonious as this dinner.

His father always ran out of the country for business, whereas his mother attended events with elite circles.

His poor brother carrying family's pride on his shoulders, never complained about it.

After finishing the dinner, Xiang Li asked about Tang Fei and Hei Qing's marriage to which Hei Rong said, "I am not agreed with the arrangement yet.

Xiang li patting his shoulder "ah Rong, don't be like this everyone will not have the same fate, give them a chance okay..?

Alright, we will talk about it some other time, it is such a late, stay here for the night as they are quite drunk" Hei Rong nodding his head said okay.

No one opposed it, and Xiang Li ordered some servants to prepare rooms for them on the backside mansion.
