They reached the Tang residence.
Sun Lan had already prepared a full feast, and Tang Shan was waiting by the doorstep. When they saw the two of them, they quickly welcomed them in.
Compared to the awkward atmosphere last time, it was much better this time around. Although they were still pretty courteous and distant, it was not cold at all.
"Xiao Xi's here. Come in quickly! I'm really sorry. You left the last time before I could make you stay for dinner!"
"That's alright. It's just a piece of cake. Do you need help?"
"No need at all. Just sit around and wait for dinner. There's still the soup left to prepare, but it'll be ready soon!"
…
After a while, the family of four reunited together at the dinner table.
Sun Lan looked at Ning Xi, feeling a little awkward. "Such drastic changes! I almost can't recognize you anymore…"
Tang Shan nodded in agreement. "Xiao Xi, you've become prettier!"
