Cheng Yuelan smiled. "Xino has told us so much about you. We've been wanting to meet you for ages, and we're so glad we finally can. You're a fine young man, indeed."
"Yes, my daughter has good taste."
Xi Huai'an also smiled. "She's made a very good friend!"
Xino desperately wanted to correct her father—Xu Yun was her *boyfriend*. But she was a girl, after all, and too shy to be so blunt.
'If Xu Yun wasn't going to make it official, it wasn't her place to bring it up first.'
"Sir, I'm her boyfriend."
Xu Yun suddenly stated, laying his cards on the table. "To be frank, Xino and I are already dating!"
Everyone was stunned.
Xino stared at Xu Yun in astonishment, hardly daring to believe her ears.
'What did he just say to my dad?'
'He's my boyfriend!'
Xi Huai'an looked at Xu Yun, who had made such a sudden declaration, and tried to gauge his intentions.
'Is he forcing my hand? Demanding to know my stance on this?'
