Chapter 147: Warmth



"You are such a curious girl." Yun Chuxian smiled and glared at Rong Xi, then called the servant to bring the gift box she had prepared and handed it to Su Yang.

Su Yang was flattered. Inside was a set of exquisite emerald jewelry, from a crown to a necklace, earrings and rings, neatly placed in a high-end velvet box.

The texture of this green is different from the others. It is an imperial green that is even higher grade than jadeite, and its color saturation is very transparent and bright.

"Mom...is this too expensive? I..."

"How can this be expensive? Even though it looks expensive, it's not as expensive as the jade hairpin your grandma gave you. It's probably not even as expensive as the watch that A-Zhan gave you."

"Wow, so beautiful, Mom, you can't be partial. I also want a set of gems as beautiful as my sister-in-law's on my birthday." Rong Xi's eyes lit up and he looked at Yun Chuxian with anticipation.

"You are young now, and I will give you any gems you want in the future. This is just a set of gadgets that I asked someone to make for Yangyang to wear and play with. Yangyang, you keep it." Yun Chuxian smiled dotingly and scratched Rong Xi's nose, looking at Su Yang with soft eyes.

Su Yang looked melancholy, she felt a little embarrassed to accept the gift today.

Seeing Rong Zhan nodded to her, she accepted them politely, but she still felt a little burdened in her heart, thinking that these gifts were too expensive.

"But... you guys are making me feel very embarrassed. My gift looks so cheap and makes me lose face." Rong Xi pursed his lips and clasped his hands together, "Sister-in-law, I just graduated and don't have much money. I bought this bracelet with my own pocket money. Don't despise it. Next year, when I have money, I will buy you a better one. Although, it may still not be as good as grandma, mom and brother."

Su Yang chuckled: "How could I dislike it? I like your gift too. It's very beautiful and cute."

"Hehe, that shows that I have pretty good aesthetic taste."

"Okay, I know you have excellent aesthetic taste." The old lady smiled dotingly and glared at Rong Xi: "Don't stand here, go over and eat. Today is Yangyang's first birthday in our house. Your mother even cooked a lot of delicious food today. Yangyang, you should eat more later. It seems that you have lost a lot of weight recently."

"Sister-in-law, your birthday cake was made by mom herself. I also helped."

"Okay, thank you grandma, mom, and Xixi for all your hard work on this ordinary birthday of mine. I will definitely eat two more bowls of rice later."

After the gift-giving session, everyone moved to the adjacent elegant hall for dinner.

Because it was a family gathering, they did not use a long table for entertaining guests, but a shorter long table. There were a wide variety of dishes on the table. At the end was a very beautiful double-layer cake and a three-layer fruit plate.

This birthday was special for Su Yang. In the past, at the Su family, Su Huai would pretend to help her celebrate her birthday every year, but there were often many calculations involved, as well as disgust and rejection from Xu Yi and her daughter. The atmosphere was far from being as warm as it was now.

There is not a trace of intrigue, only the harmony and care that comes from being a family.

These were things she had never experienced in the Su family.

After the meal, the lights in the hall were turned off, candles were placed on the exquisite double-layer cake, Rong Zhan lit the candles, and everyone sang a few lines of the birthday song.

Under their gaze, Su Yang clasped his hands, slowly closed his eyes, made a wish, then bent over to blow out the candles and cut the cake with Rong Zhan.

Rong Zhan was not a person who liked sweets, but he still finished the cake that Su Yang gave him personally.

After eating the cake, they returned to the main hall. Su Yang went to the bathroom. When she came back, she saw Yun Chuxian making black tea, so she went over to help.

Yun Chuxian smiled and did not refuse. He chatted with her briefly and paused: "Yangyang, do you have work tomorrow?"

"I don't have any work schedule tomorrow, but... I might go to Su Group." Seeing Yun Chuxian's slightly melancholy look, Su Yang asked softly: "Mom, what's wrong? Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

"Nothing special, I just thought... if you have a day off tomorrow, how about staying at Rong Garden with A-Zhan for one night? A-Zhan's previous room has always been cleaned, so there's no need to spend time tidying it up again."

"Okay." Seeing Yun Chuxian say this, Su Yang couldn't refuse. She had been married for so long, but this was the first time she stayed overnight in Rong Garden.

But seeing the obvious worry between her brows, Su Yang stopped what he was doing: "Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen? Please don't be so formal with me, just tell me what's going on."

"It's not a big deal, it's just about Xixi... that girl seems to be in a bad mood recently. I talked to her about it. She always looks optimistic and positive on the surface. When I passed by her door two nights ago, I heard her crying."

"It's understandable for a girl of her age to have emotional issues, but if she continues like this, I'm a little worried..."

Su Yang pursed her lips. In fact, she had discovered this problem when they were having dinner. No matter how Rong Xi tried to hide his sadness, his eyes could not hide it. Moreover, his eyes were obviously red and swollen, which could not be concealed by any makeup.

"Mom, I understand."

"Yangyang, thank you. I see Xixi is very close to you, so she should be able to listen to what you say. Can you help me persuade her? She is sometimes stubborn and easily gets stuck in a dead end." Yun Chuxian smiled and patted her back, looking worried.

"Mom, don't say that. As a sister-in-law, you should also comfort her. Don't worry, I will choose a suitable time to talk to her."

"Oh, okay, let's go over there."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed as they returned to the main hall carrying the brewed black tea.

When was this decided?

How could he, the person involved, not know about it? But when he saw that his wife did not refute or refuse, but still smiled faintly, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"You want to live here?"

While the old lady and Yun Chuxian were chatting and laughing, Rong Zhan leaned over and asked next to Su Yang.

"Yeah." Su Yang responded lightly without further explanation.

Rong Zhan didn't say anything more. To him, there was actually not much difference between living in Rong Garden and Rongge Mansion.

After ten o'clock, the old lady felt tired, so Rong Xi and the servant helped her back to her room, and Rong Zhan took Su Yang back to his bedroom, which he had not lived in for a long time.

The inside is still clean and tidy, almost the same as when he graduated from college and started his own business.

Yun Chuxian was afraid that the two of them hadn't lived at home for a long time and didn't have many clothes to change into, so she personally had someone deliver some clothes as well as toiletries, skin care products, etc.

Su Yang came directly from the airport, so she had all these things in her suitcase, but facing Yun Chuxian's thoughtfulness and enthusiasm, she couldn't refuse.

Although she had been to Rong Garden so many times, she only came here to have a meal each time. Apart from the main hall, the elegant dining hall and the backyard, she was still quite unfamiliar with other places in Rong Garden.

It was also the first time for him to visit the bedroom where Rong Zhan had lived since he was a child. The bedroom was spacious and bright, with an extra-large open-air balcony with a wooden rocking chair and a round high table outside.

The interior style is relatively simple, with black, white, gray and a hint of misty blue as the main colors, which is similar to the design of Rongge Mansion.

After washing up, Su Yang changed into the new silk pajamas sent by Yun Chuxian, which had hollow designs on the back and shoulders.

Su Yang, who had just come out of the bathroom with misty eyes and red cheeks due to the heat, added a unique charm and attractiveness.

The lights in the room went out. Su Yang dragged his tired body and lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed. Suddenly, a handsome figure covered him. The corner of his clothes was lifted up, and the warm touch was clear and distinct.

Su Yang was slightly stunned, and looked up at the blurred handsome face in the dim light. Her heart trembled, and she quickly raised her head to his chest and whispered, "Not today, I... I'm having that."

Rong Zhan: “…”

"Yeah, I know. Go to sleep. Good night." His mellow and sexy baritone voice was beside her ear. When his voice fell, a coolness gently brushed across her lips.

——

The next morning, Su Yang woke up as usual and stood on the balcony for a while, bathing in the morning light and feeling the scent of jasmine wafting in the wind.

After I washed up, changed my clothes and walked out of the room, I met Rong Xi.

"Hi, sister-in-law, good morning." Rong Xi stopped and waved to her with a smile.

"Yeah, good morning. Why are you up so early?" Su Yang replied with a faint smile. When he noticed her clothes, he was slightly stunned.

It was a very plain dark green dress, decorated with a doll collar and puff sleeves. It was cute and adorable, but the color was too plain, not at all like the bright and cheerful colors that Rong Xi loved to wear before.

Come to think of it, she was wearing a dark blue vest dress yesterday, which was also very plain.

"Hehe, I haven't gotten up to eat breakfast in days. It's rare that my sister-in-law and brother are here today, so of course I have to get up early. I even went to bed early last night." Rong Xi smiled slightly and tilted his head to look into the room: "Where's my brother?"

"He went down first." Su Yang closed the door and walked towards the elevator with her: "Xixi, have you been worried about something these days? Do you want to talk about it? I'm willing to be a listener."

Rong Xi glanced at her sideways, his lips slightly pursed, a hint of grievance flashing in his clear eyes.

Su Yang smiled and patted her head, then walked into the elevator: "I don't have anything to do today. After breakfast, I'll take you to see a play, okay? My friend has two tickets for the 9:30 show."

"Okay, what play?"

"It seems to be called something like That Summer or something like that. I didn't quite get the full name."

"'That summer, we got separated'?" Rong Xi asked with his eyes wide open in surprise.
