Chapter 152 Meeting the Parents
Because she was going to the Shen family for dinner on the weekend, Cen Wan prepared several days in advance.
Gu Zhiyuan and Jiang Yuan both gave her advice.
The three of them thought about what to wear, what to give, and what to say when they met.
The name of the group "When will Zhizhi be able to catch up with Chen Xubai" was temporarily changed to "Wanwan's meeting with the parents must go smoothly", and three emojis asking for blessings were added at the end.
The number of messages in the group is 99+ every day
Yuanyuan: [No matter what you say or do, just smile. Put a smile on my face.]
Zhizhi: [Aunt Wen is very gentle and kind, don't be nervous]
Wanwan: [I'll try not to be nervous...]
Zhizhi: [Remember to report the situation in time]
Cen Wan prepared a lot, but when she really arrived at the Shen family and met Wen Xianyun and Shen Zhongting, she realized that nothing she had prepared was useful.
Just as she and Shen Yixiao were carrying their things through the main door, they saw Wen Xianyun coming out of the hall and greeted them with a smile, "Wanwan is back."
Wen Xianyun wore an orange cheongsam with a beige shawl on the outside, a pearl necklace around her neck, and her hair was simply tied up, looking elegant and noble.
Shen Zhongting was wearing a new Chinese style stand-collar Zhongshan suit, and his hair was specially groomed. When he frowned, he looked majestic and resolute, with sharp eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts, which made people feel awe.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Cen Wan greeted them politely.
"Hey, come in and sit inside."
Shen Zhongting nodded and said "hmm", and was immediately glared at by Wen Xianyun.
What did I tell you before? If you scare my daughter-in-law, I'll never let you go!
The corners of Shen Zhongting's mouth twitched, and he struggled to force out a smile that he thought was "kind and kind."
"Tsk," Shen Yixiao glanced at the two of them and said nonchalantly, "Are you two here welcoming guests?"
“It’s all very fancy.”
Wen Xianyun raised his hand and gave him a pat, then skipped over him and spoke to Cen Wan:
"Last time we met at No. 1 Mansion, we were in such a rush. I was afraid you'd be shy, so I didn't chat with you much. Plus, that brat was so useless and hadn't caught up with you yet, so I didn't feel comfortable contacting you."
Wen Xianyun enthusiastically took her hand and led her to the living room: "Are you tired from the car ride? You got up early this morning, right? You can sleep a little longer and come back before lunch. That brat is so inconsiderate."
"Please sit down, Mrs. Wang. Bring me some fruit I picked today. We also have milk tea and ice cream. Wanwan, take a look and see what you like."
"I asked the kitchen to prepare lunch according to the menu Yixiao gave me. We'll be eating soon. Are you hungry?"
Cen Wan: "I'm not hungry..."
"That brat has a bad temper. He doesn't bully you, does he? If he does, tell your aunt. I'll play mixed doubles with his dad."
Cen Wan smiled: "He didn't..."
"The more I look at her, the more beautiful she seems. If such a pretty girl were my daughter-in-law, my friends would definitely be envious. Next time they come to my house to play cards, I'll show them the photo..." Wen Xianyun became happier and happier as he thought about it, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Cen Wan sat on the sofa, completely unable to get a word in, and could only smile and nod. She was really overwhelmed and cast a look at Shen Yixiao for help.
Shen Yixiao was originally leaning lazily on the side with his hands folded. Seeing Ms. Wen chattering non-stop and his baby looking at him pitifully, he stepped forward, picked up the water cup beside him and handed it to Ms. Wen's mouth:
"You've said so much in one breath, take a break."
Wen Xianyun was interrupted and glared at him in dissatisfaction: "Don't think I can't understand what you mean."
Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, I was afraid that I was being too euphemistic."
He reached out and pulled Cen Wan into his arms, grinning, "I told you to be more restrained. What if you scare away the wife I finally got back?"
Cen Wan's ears felt hot because of what he said, and she secretly raised her hand and pinched him.
Shen Yixiao lowered his head: "Why are you pinching me?"
Cen Wan: "..."
I was so embarrassed.
Wen Xianyun raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Do you bully others like this every day?"
"This is a taste," Shen Yixiao curled his lips, "How dare you watch me when I'm really bullying her?"
Cen Wan's cheeks were burning hot. Did he know what he was saying?
Wen Xianyun simply couldn't bear to watch. His eyes swept over Cen Wan's embarrassed look, and he felt that this boy was not doing well. He didn't know how the little girl was bullied by him.
She looked at him with some disdain: "If you lose your popularity, I wonder where you'll go crying? Behave yourself!"
"Take Wanwan around. I'll go check out the kitchen."
Wen Xianyun then stood up and smiled gently, "Wanwan, let Xiao take you to the back mountain and upstairs to have a look. Don't be restrained, just treat it like your own home."
Cen Wan curled her lips and said, "Okay."
After Wen Xianyun left, Cen Wan frowned and looked at him, lowering her voice: "What nonsense were you just talking about?"
Shen Yixiao pinched her face: "What I said is the truth, baby, relax a little, it's okay."
“They don’t eat people.”
"Ahem..." He had just finished speaking when an uncomfortable cough came from the side. Shen Zhongting picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
"Why are you still here?" Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows, his tone full of frivolity, "Are you eavesdropping here?"
Shen Zhongting said angrily: "Speak to me properly!"
After saying that, he felt that he seemed too fierce, so he stood up and said in an unnatural tone: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if your mother can help. You take the little girl around."
After saying that, he hurried into the kitchen.
Wen Xianyun frowned when he saw him come in: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Zhongting: "Or listen to your son teasing the little girl outside?"
"That's your son too."
"Okay, okay, my bastard son." Shen Zhongting unbuttoned his sleeves and found that he couldn't roll them up: "Wife, can I go change my clothes?"
Wen Xianyun: "No! It's our daughter-in-law's first time visiting, so we should dress formally to show how much we value her."
"Go outside and chat with me."
Shen Zhongting took the things from her hand: "How about I come and you go and chat with me."
"Hmm?" Wen Xianyun's eyes were suppressive.
Shen Zhongting was helpless: "At my age, I don't know what to talk to a young girl about. I might scare her again."
What's more, when he saw Shen Yixiao's out-of-tune look, he wanted to curse him, and he was afraid that he couldn't help it.
Wen Xianyun peeked into the living room and saw Shen Yixiao peeling the grapes in front of him and feeding them to Cen Wan. He had a smile on his lips, looking like a peacock spreading its tail tail.
"Forget it, you should stay in the kitchen too."
"Ask Xu Bai when he will be back."
"OK."
In the living room, Cen Wan ate two grapes and turned away: "Are we just going to sit here? Do you want to help in the kitchen?"
"No need," Shen Yixiao leaned back casually, "Ms. Wen is also a supervisor in the kitchen."
"Ms. Wen has planted many things in the garden on the back hill. Would you like to go and see them? Or would you rather see my childhood room first?"
Cen Wan: "Who wants to see your room?"
Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows: "Do you like looking at my room? I will definitely satisfy you."
Cen Wan: "..."
Now I not only choose the songs I like to listen to, but also change the lyrics in my mind.
"shameless."
Shen Yixiao: "Can you chase a wife with dignity?"
Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the yard. He leaned back and said nonchalantly, "No need to go, the little antique is back."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Cen Wan's eyes. She leaned over to look at the door, but just as she turned around, she was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and turned back: "Why are you so excited?"
Cen Wan blinked: "I'm... curious."
She heard Gu Zhiyuan talking about him every day, but she had only seen photos of him and had never seen him in person.
Shen Yixiao narrowed his eyes. When he heard footsteps behind him, his dark pupils darkened slightly. He leaned over and kissed the corner of Cen Wan's lips: "Don't look at me for too long."
