This meal, Yang En and Su Ruqin were both absent. Yang Xi's explanation was that Yang En was still in the United States, while Su Ruqin was discussing business in Shanghai and thus couldn't make it back in time.
Ren He didn't think too much of it. It was already quite good that his mother-in-law was adopting a tacit approval of him. Could he really show off in front of their family? If he was truly just a 17-year-old teenager, he might have rebelled against Su Ruqin just for the sake of it, but unfortunately, he wasn't.
The more he grew, the more Ren He understood that love and marriage don't need to be overly sanctified. What he needed to do was to live happily with Yang Xi and then put in some efforts he was capable of.
