Besides, if her mother's birthday banquet was going to be held on a grand scale, she would definitely have to show up, and then the entire Beijing circle would know her.
Her identity couldn't be hidden; going out with Jiang Chengsi would definitely be exposed too.
Rather than sneaking around afterward, it was better to take the initiative.
"You want me to go to Auntie's birthday banquet?" Jiang Chengsi had always wanted to meet the Si Family, as her boyfriend.
It was just that meeting the parents couldn't be something he pushed for alone, or force Si Qingxiao into, nagging her to take him home. Dating was supposed to be happy; if things turned unpleasant because he insisted on meeting her parents, it wouldn't be any fun.
Si Qingxiao nodded. "As my boyfriend."
"You've really thought it through?"
This wasn't just meeting the parents; it was equivalent to announcing them in public.
"I'm very clear about it. It still depends on whether you're willing."
"I'm fine with it."
