On the way home, the streets were filled with a festive atmosphere.
Christmas has just passed, the Christmas tree has not been taken down yet, and it is decorated for New Year's Day, which has a unique flavor.
As soon as he returned home, Yan Xiang called Xu Wan and asked, "How do you spend New Year's Day in a world for two?"
Xu Wan: "..."
She said: "I'm going to Mr. Zhou's house."
Xu Wan's explanation to clear up suspicion made Yan Xiang stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Ruan Chen was Zhou Cishen's brother-in-law.
Yan Xiangle said: "Okay, have you met your parents?"
Xu Wan knew she would think so. She turned on the speaker phone, unfolded her suitcase and packed her things: "No, it's just a simple dinner party. I used to... go there often when I wasn't with him.
side."
"Then can it be the same now? You were not together before, but now you are together. Why don't you prepare well?"
Xu Wan paused and was silent for two seconds before saying, "How to prepare?"
"Buy a gift."
“I buy it every time I go there.”
Xu Wan said and began to ask for advice seriously, "Will the gifts I buy like this be different from usual ones? Is there any specific gift?"
This also touches on Yan Xiang's knowledge blind spot. She said: "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, I remember that when my cousin went to his girlfriend's house last year, he prepared gifts for each relative in her family."
"respectively?
Does everyone have to have one?”
"probably."
Xu Wan fell into deep thought. Ruan Xingwan and Pei Shanshan also prepared gifts for Jiang Chuning and several children, but Zhou Cishen, Daniel Jiang Shanghan...
Especially since she and Jiang Shanghan were not familiar with each other yet, this gift would not be appropriate no matter how hard she prepared it.
For the first time, Xu Wan felt that preparing gifts was also difficult.
Yan Xiang said: "Hey, I won't tell you anymore. I have activities tonight, so I'll go and get busy first."
Xu Wan said: "Okay, go and get busy."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan picked up the phone, opened the web page and typed a few words to search.
[What gifts should I prepare when I go to my boyfriend’s house?]
Xu Wan flipped through it and felt that the answers were all relatively general.
Just as she was immersed in it, a voice suddenly came from in front of her: "What are you looking at?"
Xu Wan screamed in fright, and the moment he raised his head, he hid the phone behind his back.
Ruan Chen knelt down in front of her with one leg bent, his dark eyes full of smiles.
Xu Wan looked at him in shock: "When did you come back?"
No, she was sitting here and didn't see him come in.
Xu Wan reacted and looked towards the bedroom.
Ruan Chen tilted his head slightly: "Come back and get something."
Xu Wan: “…………”
She tentatively said: "I just made a phone call, did you hear it?"
Ruan Chen's lips curled up and he said slowly: "You don't need to prepare a gift."
Really heard it.
Xu Wanshe died for a few seconds, then whispered: "But Yan Xiang said that we should be prepared..."
Ruan Chen said: "Didn't she say that her cousin prepared it when he went to his girlfriend's house, that is, when I go to your house, I need to prepare it."
Xu Wan really didn't expect that he could hear the details so clearly.
Ruan Chen pulled her up from the carpet: "Okay, get up."
He continued: "I still have to go to the company and pick you up in the afternoon."
"Need not."
Xu Wan said, "I can go there by myself."
Although Ruan Chen said she didn't need to prepare gifts, she hadn't seen her children for a while, so she had to buy some.
Ruan Chen saw her thoughts and kissed her forehead before leaving: "See you in the evening."
Xu Wan sat on the sofa, feeling her face slightly hot.
After today, it’s a new year.
They seem to have been together for less than half a year.
Time flies.
In the afternoon, when Xu Wan went to the mall to buy gifts for several children, he saw a pair of cufflinks and thought they suited Ruan Chen very well, so he bought them.
When I came out after buying gifts, it was getting late and there was a bit of traffic jam everywhere.
In the sky, it started to snow again.
Xu Wan walked and stopped all the way. When she arrived at Xinghu Mansion, the lights were already on inside, and in the garden, there was a slender and tall figure waiting for her. She had been standing there for who knows how long.
She stopped the car and got out with her things: "Why are you outside?"
Ruan Chen took the thing in her hand and said, "I've just arrived a while ago. I'll wait for you to go in together."
The moment his hand touched hers, Xu Wan felt that his hand was really cold. It was definitely not what he said just a moment ago.
As he walked inside, Xu Wan held his hand.
Ruan Chen was a little surprised and glanced sideways at her, but felt that her eyes were very firm.
It was completely different from the usual withdrawal and nervousness.
He took her hand and clasped it in his palm.
The room was very lively. Except for Zhou Cishen who was stuck in the road, everyone else was here.
There were several children running around the house, but they didn't seem noisy.
The youngest one belongs to Jiang Chuning, a daughter with a small bow on her head. She is lying in the crib, looking at her brothers and sisters with her big round eyes, and her little hands are waving in the air happily, like
Trying to join.
Xu Wan also bought her a gift, a very delicate and cute little lock.
Jiang Chuning obviously liked this cute little thing. He held it in his hand and said with crooked eyes: "Thank you, Sister Xu Wan."
Xu Wan smiled and looked at the little guy in the crib: "What's her name?"
Jiang Chuning turned around and bent down to put the lock on the child, and at the same time hugged her up: "Her name is Tiantian, because I liked to eat sweets when I was pregnant."
At this time, Pei Shanshan came over and said, "Then if you liked spicy food when you were pregnant, wouldn't she be called spicy?"
Jiang Chuning thought about it and thought it made sense, and added: "Fortunately, I didn't like eating sour food when I was pregnant, otherwise she would feel a toothache."
The sweet child didn't know what her mother was talking about, she just hummed twice and wanted to get out of her arms.
Pei Shanshan was also a visitor and asked: "Did she poop on daddy?"
Jiang Chuning said: "No, she is looking for her father..."
Jiang Shanghan is answering the phone upstairs right now.
Jiang Chuning picked up the child.
Pei Shanshan stood next to Xu Wan, looked at Jiang Chuning's back, and said with emotion: "Ningning is the youngest and has a child."
Xu Wan also said: "Yes, she and Tiantian are so cute."
Pei Shanshan turned her head: "Since you think it's sweet and cute, do you want to have one too?"
Xu Wan almost choked and looked at her in shock.
Pei Shanshan patted her shoulder: "Children are more interesting if you give birth to them yourself. You can play with them however you want."
