She didn't give Huang Chong a direct answer, only said:
"Let's go upstairs and eat first. After that, you have to rush off to see your friend, and then you still need to catch the high-speed train home!"
...
Huang Chong had been to Chen Junyi's home more than once. Coupled with the change in Chen Mingyuan's attitude toward him, he no longer felt nervous.
Besides, after returning from Yunnan Xichou, he had gone to the local market and bought many local specialties. So this time, he came well-prepared instead of empty-handed, which made him feel even more at ease.
Zhang Wanqing was already used to Huang Chong bringing gifts every time he visited.
After the Tour of Qinghai Lake, he had even bought a large pile of local gifts for her and her husband, asking Chen Junyi to help mail them back.
In short, the young man genuinely cared for the two elders. It wasn't just forced courtesy, and that made her very pleased.
