Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to her, appreciating the feeling of her next to him, "The high ticket ones at least. I know that mother always gives a relatively big donation, and since it looks like they're sitting together, your mother must have as well."
He squeezed her hand and muttered, "But I suspect that my mother is better behaved because my father is worse behaved. I think that I got her to back off about everything. My coworkers realized it was a misunderstanding, but I'm very glad that they know that I'm awkward and easily embarrassed already, because that would have been even worse if they hadn't known that."
He sighed and added, "I'm sorry if I didn't handle it quite right."

Yanli squeezed his hand, "you handled it well. Don't worry about it."
She reflected on her own parents. Though she didn't know everything that'd gone on Zixuan's family, she knew that at least in her own, her mother was the troublemaker and her father was the peacekeeper. She loved both her parents, but she'd always found her father a little distant towards her, though she'd always assumed it was to try and balance out her smothering mother.
"I'm glad your coworkers know you too. You still feel comfortable with them after that, right?" she asked.

Zixuan breathed out a sigh of relief when she told him that he'd handled it well. He thought about her question seriously, and finally, he said, "I mean, I'm embarrassed, and I'd probably be even more embarrassed if it had been my mom, but I also know that a lot of my coworkers are good at awkward social situations, and they'll smooth it over in the office. Especially since at least a few of them have talked about having overbearing parents. They'll probably sympathize."
He sighed. He didn't want to be the focus of office chatter for a few days while everyone got the new information, but on the bright side, almost everyone in the office had been there, which meant that there wouldn't be a string of people asking what had happened.
He was glad when the food was brought to the table, and the speeches began. He didn't pay much attention, since the speeches were focusing on the work that the company did, which he already knew about, and thanking the donors, which he had little interest in. He instead focused on calming down and eating some food and trying to catch a few glances of what their mothers were doing across the room. It was nice to sit next to Yanli and eat something nice that neither of them had prepared. He considered that maybe this was an indication that he should take her out to a restaurant at some point. He'd have to run that idea by her later.
He gave her a little smile during the changeover between his boss and the next speaker and asked, "How are you holding up?"

Yanli kept holding Zixuan's hand in her own, squeezing it every now and then, almost as if she was checking he was still there. She listened to the speeches, interested in what the company itself told people they did and comparing it to what she already knew from Zixuan.
When the food came, she reclaimed her hand and picked at it, trying to stay engaged in the speeches. Every once in a while she'd catch her mother's eye who'd give her a wink. Yanli tried not to roll her eyes.
She started a little when Zixuan asked his question. "Sorry, what?" She looked down at her food, then at him, trying to figure out what he was talking about. "My mother?" she clarified. "I'm fine. She's actually doing better than I expected."
Yanli was actually rather torn about the whole thing. She understood her mother's desire to be a grandmother, she really did. It matched her own desire to become a mother, eventually. But the thought of her career and a child just seemed impossible. Did that make her selfish? She found herself spinning into a spiral of shame and blame, but she forced a smile, "I'm fine."

Zixuan was relieved that while Yanli seemed a little bit startled by his question, she seemed alright for the most part. He smiled at her softly and murmured, "We're getting close to the point where I'm always ready to go home at these things, even if the food is good enough, but it seems a little less long with you here. I'm glad you're holding up alright."
He hoped that their mothers would be busy with the other donors for a while, though he wasn't sure how long Yanli would want to stay. He added, "There's going to be a little bit of dancing after the dinner part is over, and of course the social mingling. Do you like dancing? I feel like I should know the answer to that, but I don't think that I ever stuck around quite long enough at mom's parties to know."
He gave her a sheepish little smile, hoping that she would understand. He knew how to dance, that was one of the many things that he'd had to learn growing up, and honestly, he'd enjoyed it more than things like how to have a business meeting by a long shot. Normally at his mom's parties though, he'd dance with Mianmian once and then go hide, that way his mother couldn't scold him, at least not as much, for not sticking around through the dancing.

Yanli smiled, "I do like dancing. I could never seem to find you at parties to dance with though. I usually ended up dancing with Acheng or Axian. If not them, I was stuck with ZuXun which was never pleasant. He loved to drag me around the dance floor and pretend like I was an ornament on his arm." She realized she was practically growling remembering it.
"Sorry..." she said, gently, "I'd have liked to dance with you. So I hope we can erase all those memories by dancing together tonight."

Zixuan looked down, feeling slightly embarrassed by his past self. He said softly, "I like dancing, I just was too shy to ever stick around and ask you. As soon as the stuff that I had to be there for was done at mom's parties, I'd usually go hide somewhere else in the house where the guests wouldn't be."
He glanced up at her and smiled tentatively before adding, "I'll be happy to dance together with you tonight."
He cringed over the thought of Zixun being a horrible dance partner, and wished that he'd actually stuck around at least a little more instead of fleeing. Who knows, maybe he'd actually have figured out talking to Yanli sooner.

"You did always run off," Yanli said with a smile. "I used to think you hated me, every time I caught a glimpse of you and tried to say hello you'd run away like I was going to eat you or something." She feigned a bite at him. "I always thought it was adorable though."
She stood up and smoothed out her dress, "dance?" she offered her hand to him.
