The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on the pristine white tablecloth.
The entire restaurant appeared bright and tranquil.
Aunt Li, the Xiao family's housekeeper, was setting the table with dishes. Just moments ago, Xiao Ran had leaned over the stair railing, loudly informing her that he and Mo Li would be down for breakfast shortly and asking her to prepare the dining table.
Aunt Li smiled as she placed two pairs of chopsticks beside the two plates.
The sound of Xiao Ran running around upstairs reached her ears, followed by his voice calling out as he knocked on the door.
“Mo Li, hurry up! After breakfast, we need to go try on wedding dresses.”
Xiao Jingxuan, the male head of the Xiao family, stepped out of his room holding a black briefcase.
Hearing the commotion from upstairs, he smiled and complained.
“Xiao Ran is about to get married, yet he still acts like a child, shouting and making a fuss. What kind of behavior is that?”
Following closely behind him, Xiao Fang chuckled, “Dad, don’t you think he only acts this way in front of Mo Li? It’s quite unusual for him.”
“That’s true,” Xiao Jingxuan sighed.
"Just like I was back then."
Xiao Fang opened the door for him, a hint of confusion in her brow.
"Dad, was it like this when you were pursuing Mom?"
Xiao Jingxuan smiled without answering and countered, "Xiao Fang, Xiao Ran is getting married soon. Why is it that you, as the older brother, still have no news? Should I help you out and arrange some introductions with a few young ladies?"
A fleeting look of melancholy crossed Xiao Fang's eyes.
She quickly smiled and said, "Dad, I'm still young. There's no rush."
"How can there be no rush? You are the eldest son of the Xiao Family; you need to bring an heir to the family soon."
Xiao Fang felt overwhelmed.
Isn't it usually the mother who cares more about her son's marriage? Why is Dad more anxious than Mom?
"Dad, Xiao Ran and Mo Li are getting married soon. Their child will also be an heir of the Xiao Family, right? I bet you'll be a grandfather next year."
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head with a smile.
"You are the eldest son; your child will be the true heir of the Xiao Family."
Xiao Fang remained silent, quietly opening the car door for Xiao Jingxuan to get in.
Then, he took his seat in the driver's position and drove to Xiao Group.
Inside the restaurant, Aunt Li set the table and couldn't help but glance out the window.
