Aunt Guo watched with a smile as Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun interacted, feeling pleased by the scene. She thought about how she would go to Shanghai soon and would have to do everything possible to convince Xiaoxiao's parents to agree to their marriage. With that in mind, she decided to start preparing and see if she could gather anything more presentable.
Su Xiaoxiao shifted her gaze from Jiang Yexun and noticed Aunt Guo trying to sneak away.
"Auntie, where are you going? The dinner will get cold if you don't eat soon," Su Xiaoxiao called out.
"I'm going to get Yexun a bowl of rice. He wasn't here earlier, so I missed him," Aunt Guo quickly made up an excuse.
She couldn't exactly say she wanted to give the two of them some alone time. She had to keep a close eye on her son to ensure he maintained some distance from Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, Xiaoxiao's brother and family might think that her son was being frivolous and was just trying to charm Xiaoxiao with sweet talk.
