As Yan Fei hesitated, indecision also filled the air at Xu Xiaoyan's home, where Old Xu was immersed in his own thoughts.
That's at least how it seemed to Xu Xiaoyan and her two sisters, Xu Xiaoyan's mother, and Xiang Rui. Who knew what this old man, putting on airs with a cigarette clutched in his lips, was really thinking about.
They all had their own ideas. Xiang Rui, though initially pestered by her mother into attending, didn't mind if this affair went through. After all, she was a mother now, and found her healthy, chubby, and adorable son endearing. She had lost some of her initial dislike towards Yan Fei.
Furthermore, she had heard from Lin Baoguo that Officer Wang from the police station was transferred so promptly due to his merits, to which Yan Fei somewhat contributed. Put that way, Yan Fei indirectly helped secure Baoguo's promotion.
As for Xu Xiaoyan's two sisters and their mother, their feelings were a complicated mix, not easily put into words for outsiders.
