"Alright, alright, you guys, stop with the small talk and take a seat," Tianxin's mother cheerfully waved at them.
Tianxin's father quickly ushered them to their seats.
Once everyone was seated, Tianxin's father gave a brief thanks. He then poured a toast with Tianxin and Tianxin's mother to Chen Yiran's family, signalling the start of the thanksgiving dinner.
In today's banquet, Chen Yiran's family was the host, so Chen Yiran's dad got the prime seat. To his left was Tianxin's father, to his right was Jingruo's father, with Yang Jingruo and her mother sitting by their father's side.
Tianxin's mother and Chen Yiran's mother sat next to Tianxin's father, with Chen Yiran sitting next to Tianxin.
There were two empty seats between Tianxin and Yang Jingruo, reserved for the waiter to serve dishes.
Upon taking her seat, Tianxin turned to glance at Chen Yiran then discreetly pinched his leg under the table.
