Old Master Qin was also slightly surprised.
But quickly, he concealed his disappointment and smiled at Shangguan Xiu, "So it turns out she's your girlfriend, Ah Xiu. You both are a well-matched couple, very suitable indeed. That's great, not bad at all. When you get married, you must send me a wedding invitation; I'll definitely come to enjoy your happiness."
Although Old Master Qin had hoped Shangguan Xiu would become his grandson-in-law, he wasn't the kind of foolishly rigid person who would interfere with other people's affairs. Thus, knowing that Shangguan Xiu had someone he liked, Old Master Qin naturally wouldn't attempt to break them up. Therefore, Old Master Qin's blessings were sincere.
Afterward, since Old Master Qin had some matters to discuss with others, he excused himself and, with the help of his son, left the gathering.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Xiu wrapped his arm around An Xiaomian, who was stiff all over, and took her to a quieter corner to sit down.
