Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive

Chapter 1160: Attempting To Change the Heir (4)

Eric chose to sit in a secluded corner of the café. He might have been acting a little paranoid, but he didn’t want to be seen by many people. Even though no one in this café knew him.

Eric glanced at his wristwatch. Apparently, Xu Cheng and Huang Ying were late. Lateness was intolerable for someone like Eric, who had always put punctuality above all else.

However, Eric warned himself, he had to put up with it today. He had to put up with everything that they did. He couldn’t get angry with Xu Cheng. How things went would depend on Xu Cheng and Huang Ying. He couldn’t afford to upset them.

Xu Cheng’s voice came from the front door of the cafe. “Mom, hurry up!”

When he heard Xu Cheng’s voice, Eric stood up immediately so that Xu Cheng could see him.

This was the first time Xu Cheng had seen Eric’s face in days. Thrilled, she let go of Huang Ying’s hand and ran off to Eric.

Huang Ying was left at the door. She looked in Eric’s direction.

The man was wearing a trim luxury suit and black-framed glasses. His beautiful wristwatch looked pricy as well.

As for his looks, he appeared to be somewhat older than Xu Cheng, but an older man could take good care of her daughter. In Huang Ying’s mind, that was actually a point in his favor.

Overall, Huang Ying’s first impression of Eric was pretty good.

Xu Cheng ran toward Eric’s table, and her eyes lit up as they locked on the man in front of her. However, Xu Cheng noticed that he wasn’t looking back at her. Instead, he was looking behind her.

“What are you looking at?” Xu Cheng complained in displeasure. “I’m right here!”

Eric nodded to her in response. “Xu Cheng, where’s your mother?”

Xu Cheng blushed, secretly thrilled by this. She hadn’t known that Eric was so eager to meet her parents.

Therefore, Xu Cheng turned around and waved to Huang Ying. “Mom, hurry up!”

“I’m coming. What’s the hurry?” Huang Ying walked a bit faster as she came up to the table.

Seeing Huang Ying, Eric suppressed his excitement and rising tension as he pointed to the seat across from him. “Please have a seat, Ms. Huang.”

Hearing Eric call her Ms. Huang, Huang Ying frowned consciously.

This man was supposed to be in a relationship with her daughter. He should have called her Aunty or Aunt Huang. What was with this “Ms. Huang?”

Xu Cheng didn’t think twice about it. She dropped into the seat next to Eric immediately.

Eric’s eyes were fixed on Huang Ying. Huang Ying was puzzled, so she asked straightaway, “So you are Eric? My daughter’s boyfriend?”

At that, Xu Cheng blushed and looked to Huang Ying immediately.

Eric had never confessed his feelings to her. Their relationship was still at the stage where they were just talking and having dinner, though Xu Cheng did believe that it would take only one small step for them to be a couple.

However, Eric hadn’t been willing to take that step, and he had gone days without contacting her. Xu Cheng believed that there were some things that she, as a girl, shouldn’t have to say.

Now that Huang Ying had said it out loud, Xu Cheng was somewhat embarrassed.

“Boyfriend?” Eric paused for a minute and glanced at Xu Cheng, who was turning crimson. Then he turned back to Huang Ying again. “Actually, I wanted to meet with you today, Ms. Huang.”

“Since you are dating my daughter, call me Aunty. What’s with Ms. Huang?” Huang Ying said in irritation.

Eric kept his face carefully neutral. “There’s something I wanted to ask you. Over twenty years ago, did you buy a baby girl from traffickers?”
