In a good mood, Mr. Chen couldn't help but tease, "Well done! You little rascal, you know how to care for your wife. Not bad, you've improved!"

"Since you're so quick to get things done, I'll give you a big gift when you two get married."

"Alright, I'll remember Grandpa Chen's promise. You always keep your word, so you can't go back on your word!" Si Lijue's lips curled up into a sly smile as he responded without any politeness.

At the same time, his face also revealed an expression that said, "I'll just wait and see if you keep your promise."

Mr. Chen said firmly, "Don't worry! I will absolutely not go back on my word."

He had already prepared the gifts and was just waiting for Si Lijue to hold the wedding.

He and Si Lijue's biological grandfather were sworn brothers. He had always liked Si Lijue since childhood. In addition, he had no children of his own and had long regarded Si Lijue as his own grandson.

Now that the old master of the Si family has passed away, as an elder of the generation of Si Lijue's grandfather, he naturally will not mistreat this beloved eldest grandson.

Just then, the Chen family's old butler came over and said to Mr. Chen, "Sir, Madam Gu is waiting for you in the lounge!"

"Okay! I understand." Mr. Chen said to Si Lijue, "Your Grandma Gu wants to talk to me about something, I'll go and see her first."

"You and Niannian, find a place to sit first. I'll come back and talk to you later."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy!" Si Lijue waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

Just then, Su Niannian walked over with a glass of wine and a glass of purified water. Seeing that Mr. Chen was about to leave, she handed him the glass of purified water and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, this is some boiled water for you. Would you like to have a sip to soothe your throat?"

She had done her research before coming and knew that Mr. Chen had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, and that he usually drank purified water.

Therefore, when she went to get the wine for Si Lijue, she also brought Mr. Chen a glass of water.

"Thank you, girl. I was a little thirsty." Mr. Chen looked at Su Niannian gratefully, took the cup from her hand, and took a big gulp.

Then, he handed the water glass to the butler beside him and instructed Su Niannian, "Girl, if there's anything you like tonight, make this brat buy it all for you. Don't try to save him any money."

Su Niannian looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

She was just leaving to get some drinks, which only took a few minutes.

But when she returned to the spot where Si Lijue and Mr. Chen had been standing, she was surprised to find that Mr. Chen's way of addressing her had become incredibly affectionate.

The term "丫头" (Yatou) seems to be an affectionate way that elders use to address their younger relatives.

This call was like a warm spring breeze brushing against Su Niannian's heart, making her feel a surge of warmth and a deep sense of intimacy.

Su Niannian was initially a little reserved, but upon hearing the word "girl," she instantly relaxed.

A bright smile bloomed on her face as she politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen, but I don't need these things."

She and Si Lijue were not a real couple; they were only married by agreement.

Besides, she's now Si Lijue's personal assistant, so she definitely wouldn't covet things that don't belong to her.

Mr. Chen's eyes were gentle as he lightly scolded, "You don't need him to buy it for you. He'll make money anyway. If you don't spend his money, are you going to let him spend it on other women?"

Then, looking at Si Lijue, she said, "You brat, did you hear that? You can't just not buy it because the girl doesn't want it!"

"Grandpa Chen, don't worry! I'll buy it for her and I won't mistreat her," Si Lijue assured the old man.

Old Chen glanced at Si Lijue and laughed, "That's more like it. I'm leaving! You two take care." As if remembering something, he turned to Su Niannian and said, "Oh! By the way, from now on, girl, you should call me Grandpa Chen along with this brat. Don't call me Mr. Chen. It's too formal, I don't like it."

“Okay, Grandpa Chen!” Su Niannian replied happily.

Mr. Chen was relieved and left with the butler, heading towards the lounge.

Si Lijue watched Mr. Chen's departing figure, then leisurely looked at the woman in front of him.

"I didn't realize you were so charming. You only talked to Grandpa Chen for a few minutes, but he's already showing you such favor. He's even started asking for jewelry for you."

Su Niannian handed a glass of red wine to Si Lijue and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Chen was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously!"

Those pieces of jewelry are useless to me; you don't need to waste your money."

She has never liked wearing jewelry or other luxury items, feeling that they are all flashy and impractical, and that wearing them would only be a burden.

She prefers a simple life and living like an ordinary person.

"You just promised to call him Grandpa Chen with me, how could you forget so quickly?" Si Lijue took the wine glass, took a sip of the red wine, and promptly reminded Su Niannian that she had called him the wrong name.

He then continued, "It won't do if I don't bring a gift. Since Grandpa Chen has spoken, I have to buy you a few things."

Otherwise, wouldn't that make me seem petty?

Even if Mr. Chen hadn't spoken up, he had originally planned to buy some jewelry for Su Niannian tonight.

Now that we're using Mr. Chen's name, there's no need to find any other excuse to get her to accept it.

Su Niannian was not used to it for a while and argued, "Grandpa Chen is not here, it doesn't matter what I call him."

Si Lijue flicked Su Niannian's forehead and said seriously, "This is very important. From now on, you must call me Grandpa Chen. You must remember that. If you make a mistake again, I will continue to punish you."

For some reason, he really wanted Su Niannian to call Old Chen "Grandpa Chen" along with him.

"Okay." Su Niannian rubbed her forehead and glared at Si Lijue with a resentful look.

She knew that since Si Lijue was attending such an event, he was bound to sell something to gain a good reputation.

So she kindly suggested, "I know you have to buy something for an occasion like tonight, but you could buy it and give it to someone who needs it. I really don't need it."

“But I only like giving it to you…” Si Lijue looked unmoved, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him.

"Whatever you want!" Su Niannian wasn't one to be pretentious, and seeing that he insisted on giving it to her, she didn't bother to refuse him anymore.

As Si Lijue's assistant, she wouldn't ask him for things on her own initiative, but if he wanted to buy something for her, she would accept it.

She wasn't stupid; there was no reason for her to return something that had been delivered to her.

Besides, all her possessions and money were meant to be saved for Xibao's wedding, not for her own use.

As Xi Bao's biological father, it's not unreasonable for Si Li Jue to contribute some money and jewelry.
