When she arrived at her door, Xu Momo turned her head and saw Xu Rui's expressionless face. His lips were tightly pursed, and he still looked a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, it's not your first time here." Xu Momo smiled.”
Xu Rui nodded silently.
"Just treat it as your own home." Xu Momo said.
"Yes." Xu Rui nodded again.
Since she didn't bring her keys, Xu Momo rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened.
Father Xu opened the door. Father Xu was wearing a loose T-shirt and colorful beach pants. He usually dressed like this at home.
Seeing Xu Rui beside Xu Momo, Father Xu was a little surprised, but he still said warmly,"Oh, Ruirui is here! Come in quickly!"
"Yes."
Xu Rui stepped into the door stiffly.
"Why are you two together today?”Father Xu asked casually.
In fact, Xu Momo knew that her father didn't mean anything else, but when he heard this, Xu Rui suddenly stopped changing his shoes.
"Actually, we have something to tell you.”Xu Momo hesitated for a moment and said,"Don't be surprised."”
"What is it?" Father Xu chuckled and asked," You're still acting so mysterious."”
Xu Rui had already changed his shoes and stood up.
He cleared his throat, and Father Xu looked at him in confusion.
Xu Rui opened his mouth and remembered what Xu Momo had said before. He treated this place as his own home.
"Dad…" he blurted out.
The three of them were stunned.
Isn't it a little too early to call him dad now? Xu Momo was in a mess and didn't know how to smooth things over.
Fortunately, Xu Rui reacted in time and quickly changed his words."Cough, Uncle Xu."
Father Xu sighed and decided to pretend that he didn't hear what Xu Rui said.
At this moment, Mother Xu walked out of the kitchen.
"Eh? Momo is back." Mother Xu smiled." Ruirui is here too. Come in quickly."”She then complained to Xu Momo,"Why didn't you call me before coming? I should have cooked more rice."?”
" Don't eat at home." Father Xu smiled." The weather is good today. Let's go out for dinner."”
"Alright, let's go to the Sichuan restaurant next door.”Mother Xu suggested.
*
Soon, the four of them arrived at the nearby Sichuan restaurant. Business was booming in this restaurant, and it was the weekend today, so the restaurant was almost overcrowded.
However, the owner of the restaurant and Father Xu were old acquaintances. He immediately arranged for Father Xu to sit in a VIP room in the inner room.
There were four of them, but Father Xu ordered seven or eight dishes.
"Don't order so much. It's a waste." Mother Xu said.
"What's the waste? If you can't eat it, take it with you.”Father Xu said," Besides, the boss gave me a discount. Don't worry so much."”
Soon, the dishes were served. There was steamed beef with vermicelli, pork lungs in chili sauce, salt and pepper chicken wings, and so on. Almost all of them were Xu Momo's favorite dishes.
Seeing such a big table of delicious food, Xu Momo couldn't help but reach out her chopsticks and start eating.
Seeing that Xu Rui ate little, Xu Momo couldn't help but give him a piece of chicken wing.""This is not bad. It's quite delicious."
Xu Rui nodded and suddenly realized that Mother Xu was smiling at him. He was suddenly shocked. He remembered that he had originally decided to perform well, so he quickly picked up a piece of spicy chicken for Xu Momo.
The interaction between the two of them was completely seen by Mother Xu.
Father Xu kept complaining to his wife about the trivial matters in the factory recently and did not notice anything unusual.
"Right, Ruirui." Mother Xu suddenly said.
Xu Rui immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at Mother Xu."Please speak."
Mother Xu couldn't help but smile." Why are you being so polite all of a sudden? I'm just asking if you think it's spicy and if it's okay."”
"Yes, it's quite delicious." Xu Rui nodded hurriedly.”
Father Xu happily poured beer into Xu Rui's glass."Come, don't just eat. Drink, drink.”
"It's already noon. Don't try to trick the child into drinking," Mother Xu rebuked.”
"What are you afraid of? It's the weekend!" Father Xu said unhappily like a child.
Mother Xu sighed. It seemed like she didn't want to talk to her husband anymore.
When they were almost done eating, Xu Rui was forced to drink three or four glasses of beer.
"Ruirui seems to have changed a lot. He's much more cheerful than before.”Mother Xu suddenly changed the topic to Xu Rui." Are you still writing novels recently?"”
Xu Rui sat upright again, his expression so serious that it was as if he was speaking at a meeting.
"Yes, I've been writing recently." He was silent for a moment." But I want to stop writing for a while.”
"Seal the brush? Why?" Mother Xu asked curiously.
"I want to do something else." Xu Rui said.
"Oh?" Father Xu was interested." You want to invest in real estate?”
"Why do you still remember this, Dad?" Xu Momo was speechless.”
"Of course." Father Xu chuckled."Everyone knows that investing in real estate is the most profitable."”
"You make it sound so easy." Mother Xu said," There are risks in investing. Besides, the real estate industry hasn't been booming recently.”
"Young people, what are you afraid of?”Father Xu said," Back then, I started from scratch and built my own factory.”
Mother Xu said,"Because of this, I know how hard it is to start a business." Young people should also be stable.”
The two of them started discussing starting a business.
Xu Momo was helpless.
Xu Rui didn't say that he wanted to start a business, so why were the two of them in such a hurry?
However, Xu Rui suddenly said,"Actually, I plan to invest in a movie."”
Xu Momo was stunned when she heard this.
"Filming a movie? It's good to make a movie." Father Xu was the first to react." What movie do you want to film?”
"It's said that many movies in the country are losing money."”
"That's true, but I still want to try." Xu Rui nodded slightly.”
"Do you want to make your novel into a movie?" Xu Momo asked. Which novel?"
"Devourer." Xu Rui replied," Actually, I started trying to write a script when I was serializing The Devourer.”
"Actually, you can sell the script to the production company.”Mother Xu suggested.
"I know, but I want to appoint my own director and actors.”Xu Rui said," That's why I'll invest a sum of money first.”
Xu Momo immediately understood what Xu Rui meant. As a screenwriter and investor, Xu Rui would have more choices.
"The Devourer will definitely be good. Mystery dramas have been quite popular recently.”Xu Momo said. She then asked curiously,"Then who do you want to direct?"
Xu Rui said a name.
"Wang Feng? " Isn't that the very famous…" Father Xu recalled." The one who filmed the love letter?"”
" Love Letter Thirty Years Ago," Mother Xu said." That movie is really good. It's quite good."”
Xu Momo was a little surprised. Wang Feng had shot to fame in Asia because of " A Love Letter Thirty Years Ago " and had already become one of the top directors in the country. It would probably be difficult to hire him.
" Actually..." Xu Rui cleared his throat." I've already contacted him." After reading the script, he expressed his interest.”
Xu Momo thought about it. Considering Lux's fame, it was not surprising that Director Wang would be interested in the Devourer.
"What about the actors?" Xu Momo asked. She was more interested in the male lead.
Xu Rui answered without hesitation,"It's Yan Jian."”
"Yanjian? The idol drama actor?" Mother Xu paid attention to entertainment news every day, so of course she knew about Yanjian.
"Although he's acting in an idol drama, his acting skills are not bad.”Xu Momo said fairly," I've watched some of his dramas. I think his temperament is very suitable.”
Xu Rui nodded in agreement.
"What about the female lead?" Xu Momo asked again.
"I'm not sure yet." Xu Rui shook his head.”
"Why don't we just let our Momo act?”Father Xu joked," Our Momo even acted in a play when she was in third grade! People who had seen her said that she was especially talented as an actress.”
"Dad, don't mention elementary school.”Xu Momo complained.
Xu Rui said,"Actually, the female lead of that book is indeed based on Mo."”
Xu Momo was shocked.
The gentle, kind, strong, and courageous Goddess Lu Su in " The Devourer " was actually her?!
So in Xu Rui's mind, she was a goddess with perfect milk teeth…Xu Momo suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Is that so? What is the personality of the female lead?" Father Xu asked curiously.
" Pure and cute, gentle and generous." Xu Rui paused for a moment and added," I really like delicious food.”
Alright, Xu Mo wept silently.
Lu Su was a foodie, and so was she. This was indeed the most similar.
When there were only leftovers left on the table and the four of them were full, Father Xu suddenly said,"By the way, Mo, didn't you say that you wanted to announce something? Was he referring to the movie or something else?”
"It's not a movie." Xu Momo glanced at Xu Rui.
"Actually, I know what it is." Mother Xu smiled.”
"You guessed it?" Father Xu looked at his wife. What is it?"
Mother Xu looked at Xu Rui and said,"You have to listen to Ruirui."”
Xu Rui immediately sat up straight.
" Actually, I..." He paused for a moment and turned to look at Xu Momo." Actually, I'm dating your daughter."”
As soon as he finished speaking, the toothpick in Father Xu's mouth fell out. "What? Are you guys dating?"
"I could tell a long time ago." Mother Xu smiled." Who asked you to be so slow?"”
"When did it start?" Father Xu hesitated for a moment.”
"Not long ago." Xu Momo continued.
Father Xu frowned and thought for a while. He crossed his legs and put them down again. He was probably thinking about how to put on the airs of a future father-in-law.
" That…" He coughed lightly." Let me say this first. My Momo is a good girl."”
"Yes." Xu Rui nodded.
"Marriage without the goal of dating is a hooligan, do you know that?”Father Xu pretended to be serious.
"You're talking the other way around!" Mother Xu chuckled.”
Father Xu blushed and said stubbornly,"It's fine as long as you understand the meaning! Ruirui, do you understand what I mean?”
Xu Rui looked at Xu Momo again.
Xu Momo thought that he was sending out a distress signal again, so she said,"Marriage or something…"
Just as she was about to say "it's still early", she heard Xu Rui say softly,"I do plan to propose to Momo once she graduates.”
Xu Momo was stunned.
What did he say? Propose?
