Ex-Husband CEO, Stop Messing Around!-Chapter 458 - 423: My Wife Knows Me Best_2

"Xixi."

His gentle voice made Tong Xi feel like she was dreaming. After a brief daze, she remembered why she was here today, and smiled at him: "Tan Qing."

"Pretty..."

Tan Qing forcibly swallowed the word "compatible," not really knowing why himself.

Mrs. Tan heard the car and had already come to the door. Seeing the two of them coming close together, she carefully examined Tong Xi, her eyes filled with a satisfied smile, she proactively reached for Tong Xi’s hand: "Xixi, may I call you that?"

"Of course, Auntie." Tong Xi quickly squeezed out a smile.

Tan Qing’s father was also quite pleased with her, showing no airs, and a huge weight quietly fell from Tong Xi’s heart.

Her family’s situation was similar to Wen Nuan’s, if truly discussed in terms of matching social status, she indeed was marrying into a better family with the Tan Family, not fully matching. Luckily, Tan Qing’s parents no longer used that standard to choose a daughter-in-law.

"Xixi hasn’t graduated yet?" During dinner, Tan Qing’s father asked Tong Xi.

"Yes." At the mention of this topic, Tong Xi became embarrassed: "I took some time off, but I will continue with my studies."

Mrs. Tan looked a bit worried upon hearing this: "Do you need to return to France?"

"Yes, I was studying design in Paris." Tong Xi answered, glancing nervously at Tan Qing. The Tan Family was into fashion design, and her leaving her studies halfway might upset Tan Qing’s parents.

Under the table, his hand gently squeezed hers, indicating for her to relax. Tan Qing earnestly looked at his parents: "Although Xixi hasn’t graduated yet, she has excellent grades and hasn’t thought of giving up her studies."

"We don’t think Xixi is lacking." Tan Qing’s father hurriedly explained: "We’re just concerned that Xixi returning to France for school might affect your relationship due to the distance. How about interning at MT while studying? MT has excellent designers, Xixi, if you wish to pursue a career in this field, let Tan Qing arrange a good mentor for you."

"You mean to let me work at MT?" Tong Xi was shocked, her mouth agape, looking at Tan Qing not knowing how to reply.

Frankly, she didn’t want to give up her education. She had discussed with Wen Nuan, determined to graduate on time and with good grades. Even now, in T City, she set aside time to study almost every day, and for difficult problems she couldn’t solve, they would promptly consult with a professor.

The reason she came back was that she was afraid Tan Qing might be taken by another woman, intending to first secure their relationship and then return to France to study. But now...

Tan Qing’s father’s suggestion left her unprepared, they truly liked her, but she wasn’t marrying his parents. What if Tan Qing didn’t like her, then what?

Mrs. Tan asked worriedly: "Xixi, do you not want to?"

"I... not quite, actually I..." Tong Xi stammered, kicking Tan Qing under the table, signaling him to help her out.

Tan Qing seriously said: "Dad, Mom, let Xixi complete her studies first. She has always been quite strong-willed and doesn’t like entering MT through connections. She feels that only this way can people truly respect her abilities." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

His articulation left Tan Qing’s parents unable to refute, instead they liked Tong Xi even more. But they didn’t want to give up on their suggestion just yet.

After dinner, Mrs. Tan proposed: "The time Xixi mentioned taking off from school, there’s still a period left, isn’t it? How about this, since Xixi doesn’t have much to do right now, why not get familiar with MT for a while, you two can also deepen your relationship."

"Mom."

Tan Qing wanted to question his mom’s suggestion, but after receiving a glare, his mom lowered her voice threateningly: "Xixi isn’t just someone you brought to deceive Mom, is she? So you’re afraid to let her stay, worried about getting caught?"

Mom truly is wise...

Tan Qing groaned in his heart, no wonder she wanted Xixi to go to MT, to avoid being fooled; she was testing him.

"Of course not." Tan Qing wasn’t about to admit that, insisting: "Xixi is genuinely my girlfriend, no deception involved."

"Deception my foot." Mrs. Tan gave him a side glance, then looked at Tong Xi more gently. The more she looked, the more she liked: "Your dad and I both really like Xixi, I warn you, put away your tricks, and don’t switch again!"

"Sister, brother-in-law, take care on the road."

Wen Family. After dinner, Pengfei came out to see Wen Nuan off, his classmate also tagging along, a girl looking pure and adorable, quite likable.

Wen Nuan quietly pulled him aside, asking the question that had been stifling her all evening, her voice lowered: "Tell me honestly, is she your girlfriend?"
