Chapter 313

313 Matchmaker

Then, Lilian thought of something and quickly said, “Shen Fei, tomorrow is my parents’ wedding anniversary. I hope you can attend.”

“A banquet?” Shen Fei muttered to himself. “In that case, I’ll go.” Shen Fei nodded.

He usually did not enjoy banquets. On the other hand, despite their poverty, Lilian’s family were nice to him, and he did not want to go against her wishes. Moreover, as her brother and friend, he should attend to express his blessings.

Hearing Shen Fei agree, Lilian was overjoyed. “Really? That’s great! I’ll tell my parents immediately and let them make preparations.”

She immediately took out her phone and contacted her parents. She told them the news and chattered away excitedly about the upcoming banquet for a short while.

Shen Fei watched quietly as a gentle smile appeared on his face.

…

The next morning, the sun rose slowly from the East. It was shining brightly today, and the air was fresh.

Shen Fei stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he was in high spirits, and the blood in his body was surging.

An intense desire to fight filled his entire right arm, and he clenched his fists in an effort to keep it suppressed. His muscles bulged, and he emitted a terrifying aura.

He was going to Lilian’s house for dinner because he was a guest. He had promised Lilian to attend the dinner party yesterday. He could hardly wait, so he woke up early and did his morning exercise in the courtyard. After that, he decided to head out.

Once he was dressed, Shen Fei headed straight for Lilian’s house, attracting numerous gazes along the way.

He wore a white shirt and casual pants. His skin was fair and unblemished, and his face had a bright glow to it, making him look very handsome and charming.

Along the way, many young men and women were shocked by Shen Fei’s handsomeness. They were dumbfounded and began to discuss.

Shen Fei did not seem to notice everyone’s gazes as he continued walking to Lilian’s place. After a while, he arrived at the house and knocked on the door.

Lilian’s voice came from inside, “Please come in.”

Shen Fei pushed open the door and walked into the room. He saw that Lilian had already changed into beautiful clothes and was currently showing off in front of the mirror in the entryway. When she saw Shen Fei’s arrival, she immediately ran over to greet him.

“Shen Fei!”

Shen Fei stretched out his hand and gently petted Lilian’s soft hair.

“Shen Fei, take a look at my new clothes! I specially chose this set to be worn this year,” Lilian said with a smile. Her face was beaming with happiness.

“It’s very beautiful,” Shen Fei praised sincerely.

“Hehe.” Lilian scratched her head shyly, but her bright smile remained.

Then, a middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand. She had a warm smile on her face.

This was Lilian’s mother, Lin Yating.

Shen Fei smiled politely and greeted her, “Aunt Lin, you’ve worked hard.”

“Oh my, Shen Fei, you’re too polite. Quickly, sit down.”

Lin Yating quickly invited Shen Fei to sit down in the living room. At the same time, she ordered a servant to bring some fruits.

Shen Fei sat on the sofa and watched Lin Yating go about preparing dinner. He was touched.

Suddenly, a man’s voice came from outside the house. His tone was full of joy. A man with a crew cut and an unyielding look walked into the room. “Fei, you’re finally here! Our Lili has been talking about you nonstop every day.”

This was Lilian’s father, Lillid Robertson.

“Haha, my precious daughter has grown up.” Lillid laughed.

Shen Fei looked at Lilian and felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. In his memory, Lilian used to stick to him just like that.

“Wash your hands and join us for dinner.” Lin Yating smiled kindly.

When Shen Fei heard this, he smiled and followed Lillid into the dining room. The dining table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes, and the fragrance of the food was mouthwatering.

They were all humble home-cooked dishes, but that fact only made them look particularly delicious. The colors were bright, and the display was excellent. Just looking at them all nicely laid out made Shen Fei’s fingers twitch, ready to dig in.

When everyone finally sat down to eat, Shen Fei took a bite out of a piece of chicken drumstick. He immediately felt like his mouth was in heaven, and his palate was filled with its fragrance, causing his eyes to light up.

“Mmm, it’s delicious!” Shen Fei praised.

It had been a long time since he had eaten such a delicious meal. Lillid and Lilian looked at Shen Fei with anticipation.

As he ate, he commented on the dishes, “Hmm, this eggplant with garlic sauce is not bad… And this, red braised meat… This soup as well, it’s so good…”

Shen Fei ate bit by bit, and his face always wore a satisfied expression.

Although these dishes were simple, the taste was definitely a hundred times, or even a thousand times better than what the grand hotel restaurants outside serve.

“Aunt Lin, Uncle Lillid, may your love be as enduring as a mountain,” Shen Fei smiled as he congratulated his hosts.

“Thank you, Fei.” Lillid and Lin Yating both smiled happily.

After dinner, the family sat around the sofa and chatted.

“Shen Fei, how old are you this year?” Lillid suddenly asked.

“I’m twenty-one this year, Uncle,” Shen Fei said.

Lillid nodded and continued to ask, “Do you have a girlfriend yet?”

Shen Fei was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly, “I…”

Lillid and Lin Yating looked at each other, and a glint flashed in their eyes.

“Shen Fei, do you like Lilian?” Lin Yating suddenly asked in a serious tone.

“Uh…” Shen Fei opened his mouth in shock. For a moment, he could not say anything. He did not expect them to suddenly ask such questions.

Lillid and Lin Yating stared at Shen Fei solemnly.

Shen Fei wanted to explain. “Uncle, Auntie, I—”

Lillid waved his hand and interrupted Shen Fei. After a moment, he said, “Shen Fei, actually, my wife and I have already discussed this. We will let you marry Lilian.”

“Huh?!” Shen Fei’s eyes widened in shock. His face was filled with disbelief. “Uncle Lillid, I—”

Lillid waved his hand and smiled. “Don’t worry, let me explain slowly…”

Shen Fei quickly shut his mouth and quietly waited for Lillid to continue.

After organizing his words, Lillid said, “We knew your parents, and you and Lilian have known each other since you were children. You’re childhood sweethearts, and all of this is fate.”

At this point, a warm smile appeared on Lillid’s face. It was as if he could imagine the scene of him conversing with Shen Fei’s parents…
