Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 654: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age

Chapter 654: Chapter 654: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age

Ningwan carefully observed Xia Luo.

She had indeed grown up, looking quite different from when she was little. Yet, there was still a trace of her childhood self.

She resembled her mother very much, but when you looked closely, her eyes and brows were more like her father’s. It seemed as if on the foundation of both parents, she was further refined, thus becoming more beautiful.

Back in the day, Feng Qianru was the most famous socialite in Jiangcheng, a well-known beauty.

Xia Luo surpassed her.

"So pretty, no wonder Xiao likes you so much," Ningwan said with a smile.

Xia Luo’s face turned red.

"I heard from Xiao that you have a younger brother, why didn’t you bring him along today?" Ningwan asked with a hint of regret.

Xia Luo: "He’s at school, not at home. It’s my first visit, not convenient to bring him along, I’ll bring him next time."

"Xiao also has a younger sister, but she’s not in Jiangcheng either. Once she’s back for the holidays, you can meet her," Ningwan said.

Xia Luo nodded.

Ningwan smiled again, taking her hand gently while looking at her with warm eyes, and said affectionately, "You don’t have to stand on ceremony here, treat this place as your home, and us as your parents. If Xiao bullies you in any way, you must tell me, don’t suffer in silence."

"I understand." Xia Luo nodded.

"Sir, Madam, dinner is ready."

The servant approached to inform them.

Ningwan, holding Xia Luo’s hand, stood up and led her to the dining room.

The dining room was quite large, with a round table covered with delicious dishes.

Zhan Yunxiao noticed that many of them were Xia Luo’s childhood favorites, showing the effort his parents put into preparing this dinner.

"Luoluo, I remember you like these," Zhan Yunxiao said as he served Xia Luo.

Xia Luo said thank you but didn’t eat much.

Moreover, she spoke very little today, mostly answering when Ningwan asked.

It was a stark contrast to her usual chatty self.

But Zhan Yunxiao didn’t think much of it, assuming she was just shy meeting his parents for the first time.

Especially since his father was also present.

His father was known to be extremely good to his wife and children.

Especially to his wife, almost complying with her every wish.

But to those who didn’t know him, his appearance alone could instill fear.

Ningwan realized this as well, concerned that Zhan Hanjue’s presence might make Xia Luo uncomfortable, so after dinner, she planned to have Zhan Hanjue leave first.

However, before she could suggest it, Xia Luo, with a pained expression, spoke first, "Auntie, my stomach hurts."

"Stomach ache? Did you eat something bad?" Ningwan asked, surprised.

Xia Luo shook her head, her face slightly pale, "I don’t know, just not feeling well."

As soon as Zhan Yunxiao heard she was unwell, he panicked immediately, hurriedly saying, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

"Why the hospital? Your mother is a doctor," Zhan Hanjue reminded him.

Zhan Yunxiao felt awkward, too caught up to remember this?

Ningwan quickly comforted Xia Luo, "Don’t worry, Auntie will check your pulse."

With that, she placed her hand on Xia Luo’s wrist to check her pulse.

"Mom, how is it?" Zhan Yunxiao asked impatiently.

Ningwan gave him a disapproving look for being too anxious, barely checking the pulse before making a fuss.

Zhan Yunxiao, receiving the warning look, could only wait in awkward silence.

Soon, Ningwan removed her hand from Xia Luo’s wrist.

"It’s nothing, your pulse is fine. Did you catch a chill? I’ll have someone bring you some hot soup."

"Auntie, I would like to rest, could you accompany me?" Xia Luo requested.

Ningwan smiled and said, "Of course, I’ll take you to rest."

"Mom, I’ll take her," Zhan Yunxiao stood up.

Ningwan replied, "Xia Luo specifically said she wanted me to take her to rest, so why are you joining in?"

Zhan Yunxiao wanted to say something, but Zhan Hanjue called out, "Perfect timing, I have something to discuss with you."

"Dad, does it have to be today?" Zhan Yunxiao frowned.

For some reason, he felt a surge of unease, as if something bad was about to happen soon.

"Xiao, go with Uncle, I’ll rest with Auntie for a while," Xia Luo also persuaded him.

Seeing everyone speaking this way, Zhan Yunxiao reluctantly agreed and left with his father.

However, before leaving, he reminded his mother to take good care of Xia Luo.

Ningwan laughed and scolded, "I know, even without you telling me, I’ll take good care of Xia Luo. But seeing you like this makes me happy, my son has finally grown up."

This made Zhan Yunxiao feel embarrassed, leaving with a red face.
