My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Five: Regarding When to Get Engaged
Playing a prank, I’m so happy.
Doing this made me feel so much better, and I felt much more relaxed.
However, before sleeping, Xiaomuqing remembered a question. It had been two days since she helped her good brother change their matching couple avatars yesterday.
Realistically, after so much time, he should have noticed.
But now, it seemed like there was no reaction from his side at all, as if nothing had happened.
“Didn’t notice? That’s impossible.”
Thinking about it, Xiaomuqing turned over, picked up her phone again, and opened the chat interface from just now.
Then she frowned, her expression subtle and feeling very strange, unable to figure out what was going on.
On her phone, after changing to the couple avatars, she had changed Ye Ziming’s contact name to “Lin someone’s Ye Ziming.”
Besides that, she had also set up a special notification.
However, she didn’t know that after changing to the couple avatars, Ye Ziming had also changed her contact name.
Compared to her, his way of naming was simpler, just the words “stupid loli.”
“Maybe I should find a time to ask?”
Putting down her phone, Xiaomuqing lay back on the bed and murmured to herself.
emmm, maybe I can.
Another day passed…
Early this morning, Meng Yue told Xiaomuqing that their family was going to visit the Ye family next door today.
Simply put, the two families would sit together and have a meal, as Old Master Ye had been discharged from the hospital and the new year was approaching.
“Today, your grandfather will come over. Spend more time with him later, understand?”
While discussing matters, Meng Yue emphasized this point.
Speaking of which, this was not her idea, but the elder had specifically requested to see his beloved granddaughter, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, before coming over.
There was no way around it. The Lin family was so large, and their family tree was so thick, that for generations, they had not had a single girl.
So, when a girl finally appeared, she was naturally doted on, almost to the point of writing a will to decide the heir on the spot.
“Mm-hmm, I know.”
Without hesitation, Xiaomuqing readily agreed.
After that, she got herself dressed up and put on some nice clothes.
Although the occasion was not grand, attention should still be paid.
Speaking of which, she hadn’t seen her grandfather for some time because he was traveling around with his old friends.
She was a little envious that they could travel so freely…
The scene shifted. Xiaomuqing appeared in the Ye family’s living room ahead of time, chatting about everyday matters with her darling grandfather.
The elder was very kind, and their conversation was quite interesting. Xiaomuqing liked him very much.
Soon, Ye Ziming walked in from outside, bringing his grandfather, Ye Jianxing.
Before Old Master Ye sat down, everything was harmonious. Old friends meeting naturally involved a lot of pleasantries.
But with Old Master Ye’s words:
“Oh, isn’t this my granddaughter-in-law? Come closer, let Grandpa have a good look. It’s been a long time.”
The harmony of the scene was immediately broken.
“Who is your granddaughter-in-law? My granddaughter is not married yet!”
Old Master Lin heard this and immediately bristled, retorting without politeness.
“She’ll marry sooner or later anyway. You’ll call me Grandpa sooner or later.”
Old Master Ye chuckled, truly like an old fox, looking wicked.
“You shameless old man…”
Thus, the two old men started arguing, with no one to mediate.
Except for Xiaomuqing, everyone else was basically used to it. Rather than arguing, it was a special way of communication between old friends.
Beside them, Xiaomuqing sat quietly on the sofa, listening to them talk about marriage. Her mood was a little complicated.
She was very embarrassed, a little happy, and would secretly glance at her good brother sitting opposite her.
However, Ye Ziming’s indifferent reaction made her unsure, not knowing his attitude.
What did he consider this matter? Xiaomuqing didn’t know, and she didn’t dare to ask.
She was a little troubled.
Not long after, Meng Yue came out of the kitchen and beckoned to the group of people.
“A few tall ones, go to the storage room to move a large table and chairs.”
Hearing this, Xiaomuqing was the first to stand up and look towards her mother in the kitchen.
Lin Qiwen, who stood up behind her, looked bewildered, as did the others sitting together.
For a moment, all eyes were on her.
“Ahem, I… I need to go to the restroom.”
Coughing twice to ease the awkwardness, Xiaomuqing then turned around and walked towards the restroom.
“Oh, is that so? I thought you were going to move the table.”
Beside her, Ye Zizhuo let out a relieved smile and teased her with a laugh.
“How can that be? Muqing is so petite. She can’t move those things.”
Old Master Ye immediately objected, then ordered the three young men over there to hurry and help.
“Ah huh…”
For some reason, Xiaomuqing couldn’t be happy when facing Grandpa Ye’s concern.
What made it even harder for her was that more than one person was saying this, and her dear brother was also joining in.
“It’s precisely because Sister is short that she’s cuter.” “This isn’t called short, it’s called petite…”
Ah~ Xiaomuqing wanted to ask the nearby vegetable market if they were accepting unwanted brothers.
PS: There’s only one short person here, but I’m not saying who it is.
The little interlude passed quickly, and soon Xiaomuqing also went to help.
At mealtime, the two families sat at the same table, eating lively.
At the dinner table, while Old Master Ye was talking most enthusiastically, he suddenly asked a question.
Regarding when his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law would hold their engagement banquet.
“Um…”
Hearing this question, Xiaomuqing was stunned on the spot.
The piece of fish she had just picked up, due to a slight tremor of her hand, almost fell onto her pants.
Fortunately, Ye Ziming quickly reached out and caught the piece of fish with a tissue.
At the dinner table, not only Xiaomuqing, but everyone else was somewhat surprised or taken aback, clearly not expecting this matter to be brought up so suddenly.
As Xiaomuqing’s mother, Meng Yue immediately wanted to say, “The children are still studying, there’s plenty of time.”
But before she could speak, Old Master Ye sighed emotionally:
“I don’t know if this old body of mine will live to see your wedding.”
Well, the implication was obvious. He wanted to see the engagement banquet soon, and wished his granddaughter-in-law could get her marriage certificate with his grandson tomorrow.
“Hmph.”
After listening, Old Master Lin secretly clicked his tongue, not letting anyone see the disdain on his face.
As an old friend, he knew the other party’s character too well – an old fox who only acted if there was a benefit.
He didn’t know how long his old friend could live, but he knew it was definitely not as exaggerated as he said.
If it wasn’t for the fact that his old friend had just been discharged from the hospital, he wouldn’t indulge him.
“Ahem, the engagement banquet, it can indeed be sooner.”
Slowly putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Meng Yue frowned and said somewhat hesitantly.
In this situation, it was quite awkward.
