Chapter 67: Forty-first Day of the Relationship. The eldest brother had already spoken...

With the eldest brother having spoken, how could the younger siblings not cooperate? They all came over to help carry the things into the house and then placed them one by one on the table. The elders who were waiting for Quan Zhilong's arrival were stunned by this scene. Only Grandma Wu came to her senses and smiled, beckoning Quan Zhilong to come in and sit down.

After Wu Yunxi and Quan Zhilong entered first, several older siblings followed, still carrying things. In the end, there was no room on the table, so they had to selectively place some things, leaving the pile overflowing.

Sometimes, it's said that judging a man's sincerity isn't about how much money he has, but how he treats his girlfriend in both formal and private situations. You can fake some behavior for a while

, but you can't pretend forever. At least Quan Zhilong's initial performance with these older siblings was good, but other aspects still needed to be tested. Otherwise, letting Quan Zhilong kidnap his sister would be a bit unsatisfying.

Everything had been brought into the room. Although there were many people at home, Wu Yunxi's younger generation wasn't there; they were playing games in another room. Besides the elders, the living room was filled with Wu Yunxi's older siblings. There were also some Kwon Ji-yong fans. After Wu Yunxi and Kwon Ji-yong went public with their relationship, some of them contacted her asking for autographs, even repeatedly trying to confirm whether the person publicly revealed online was her or someone else with the same name and look and feel.

Even Kwon Ji-yong's fans wouldn't hold back in such a situation, assuming their idol would always treat their younger sister well.

As soon as Wu Yunxi entered the house, her grandmother called her over. After recuperating for a while, her grandmother had recovered, and since it was New Year's Day and there were so many people at home, she, as the elder, had barely been tired.

"Yunxi, come here,"

she said, obediently moving over to sit next to her grandmother again. Wu Yunxi gave Kwon Ji-yong an apologetic look, and the next moment, her grandmother called him over.

"Ji-yong, long time no see. Can you come over to me?"

"Grandma, Happy New Year. How are you?"

Quan Ji-yong heard and walked over, smiling and greeting Grandma. This wasn't their first meeting, and they'd always had a pleasant time together. It was clear that Wu Yunxi's grandmother was supportive of their relationship.

"Okay, okay, everything's fine,"

Grandma Wu Yunxi smiled, patting the back of Quan Ji-yong's hand and asking about his recent situation.

Everyone saw Quan Ji-yong chatting happily with Grandma, knowing now wasn't the time to say anything. They just lamented inwardly how cunning Quan Ji-yong was, having managed to so quickly convince Grandma, making everything else so smooth for him.

The atmosphere in the living room was quite lively. Some of the older siblings, worried about their children, left the living room to check on them. As time slowly approached lunchtime, several people began to make their way to the kitchen to prepare.

Most of the children in the family can cook a little bit, and they always take on the task of cooking during the New Year. This is a way for the younger generation to show that they are really living a good life, and it is also a way to share some responsibilities with the elders

. In this way, the children take turns cooking and they won’t be too tired. In the end, everyone only takes turns cooking one or two dishes. This habit makes everyone feel that the Spring Festival is really interesting, especially being able to sit here and chat without any work burden.

After lunch, the cleanup was also done by the brothers and sisters who were responsible for cooking today. Quan Zhilong was a little embarrassed at first, but Wu Yunxi’s grandmother said that this was all discussed by everyone, and they could relax a little.

Quan Zhilong stayed at Wu Yunxi’s house until after three o’clock in the afternoon before he proposed to go home. During this period, Quan Zhilong also had a few private conversations with some brothers and sisters. In fact, the summary was that they hoped Quan Zhilong could treat Wu Yunxi well.

After Wu Yunxi's grandmother offered to leave, Quan Zhiyong tried to persuade her to stay. He wanted to agree, but it would have meant he'd be home late after dinner, and Wu Yunxi was visiting her family the next day. While he'd be tempted to stay overnight, he knew it wasn't the right time. Wu Yunxi

's grandmother's reasoning was sound, and Wu Yunxi's grandmother didn't try to persuade him. The family also offered some gifts for Quan Zhiyong to take home. After lunch, while sorting through the items, they realized Quan Zhiyong had meticulously bought gifts for everyone, even the children.

If he didn't take this seriously, why would he have invested so much time and effort in such a project?

Everyone felt Quan Zhiyong's seriousness about this relationship today. As they saw him off, they exchanged a few words at first,

then smiled as they watched the couple reluctantly part. They returned to the living room, where they sat until a few minutes later, when they heard the sound of a car starting up outside and Wu Yunxi walked in.

Perhaps it was the gazes of her family that caused Wu Yunxi, who had just secretly kissed Kwon Ji-yong outside, to blush. She knew their actions were likely unseen, yet now it felt like they were kissing in public.

Seeing Wu Yunxi's blush, they considerately refrained from teasing.

Before dinner began, Wu Yunxi received a text from Kwon Ji-yong saying he had arrived home, along with a thank you from Kwon's mother for the gift. It seemed like a small matter, but Wu Yunxi felt a close bond with Kwon Ji-yong as a result of the experience.

The next morning, when they went to Kwon Ji-yong's family villa, Wu Yunxi's mother carefully checked the gifts, fearing any were missing. Although the children had already formally met their elders, it was Spring Festival after all, and it was likely that not only Kwon Ji-yong's family would be there, but also relatives.

Wu Yunxi saw her mother's nervous expression, but her heart slowly relaxed. Quan Ji-yong had already informed Wu Yunxi who would be at the house. Aside from a few close relatives who happened to be there, there weren't many others. However, Wu Yunxi didn't prepare gifts for everyone like Quan Ji-yong did. For various reasons, Quan Ji-yong had already mentioned this.

Wu Yunxi's mother, however, worried that this might be inappropriate, so she prepared a few extra items.

With the items in the car, Wu Yunxi drove to Quan Ji-yong's villa. It was almost ten o'clock when they arrived.

Quan Ji-yong, like Wu Yunxi had done yesterday, was waiting at the door early, holding his dog Quan Jiahu. Jiahu was originally Quan Ji-yong's own dog, but he had been kept at the villa for a long time. As Jiahu aged, he wasn't brought to Seoul anymore, and spent more time at the villa.

Of course, Quan Ji-yong's parents took good care of him, and he had even gained some weight.

Wu Yunxi had played with Quan Jiahu before, so when Wu Yunxi parked the car and got out, Quan Jiahu and Quan Zhilong walked over to Wu Yunxi. Quan Jiahu even rubbed against Wu Yunxi, wanting to be touched by her.

"Oppa~"

Wu Yunxi didn't have any thoughts about Quan Jiahu at this moment. After all, Quan Jiahu's owner, Quan Zhilong, was the person she loved at the moment.

"Are you here? I'll get the stuff. You hold Jiahu, okay?"

The moment Kwon Ji-yong saw Wu Yunxi, he smiled, as if even just seeing her like this would bring him joy. Moreover, they both knew that this meeting meant they were more than just in love, and were even considering taking things a step further.

Kwon Ji-yong was actually very happy that Wu Yunxi had agreed to this. Compared to him, Wu Yunxi could now fully enjoy her life.

Kwon Ji-yong, who occasionally indulged in late-night emo, recalled Wu Yunxi's words to him that night and felt truly lucky.

"Yes, thank you for the trouble, Oppa!"

Although he said it was troublesome, Wu Yunxi didn't actually find it that much of a bother; that was the way they got along.

After Kwon Ji-yong retrieved his belongings from the back, he realized he still had quite a bit of stuff. He simply took a portion and went inside with Wu Yunxi. After waiting a while to see that Wu Yunxi was chatting happily with her mother, he said he went out again and returned with everything.

When he came back, Quan Zhilong was sweating a little. In such a winter, being able to sweat because of carrying something was a proof that the things Wu Yunxi brought were quite important.

Quan Zhilong was originally carrying something in his hand, and when Wu Yunxi followed in, Quan's mother felt that Wu Yunxi was a child who knew etiquette very well. From the first time they officially met, she would bring gifts to her door. Although she had the ability to buy these things, she felt that Wu Yunxi did a good job in considering that a child would take the elders to heart just because he was in love with his own child.

Complex thoughts went back and forth in her heart, but when she saw Wu Yunxi, Quan's mother felt that she liked this child very much. Later, when she knew that Quan Zhilong's partner was her, she was very happy, besides feeling that her son was an old cow eating young grass.
