Xue Ning brought a total of four boxes, each of which was carefully wrapped with ribbons, giving it a full sense of ceremony.
Ana Shen carefully took the top box.
After opening it, the first thing you see is a pure gold box. The gold filigree and diamond inlay craftsmanship looks extremely delicate and not at all tacky.
After opening it, a ruby as pure as fireworks lay quietly inside.
Xue Ning has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. He not only likes shining people, but also likes to collect all kinds of dazzling gems. Naturally, he chooses to treasure them when giving them to others.
The second box contained a golden bowl with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. The bowl was filled with plump and round pearls, which emitted a dreamy glow under the light.
"I bought them at a pearl exhibition." Xue Ning said with a teasing smile, "These pearls are all good things. As for how you use them, I won't interfere."
Xue Du raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the other person.
The remaining two boxes were relatively large. Just as Shen Yinan was about to pull the ribbon, Xue Ning hurriedly stopped him: “Wait, this box… let’s open it when you two are together.”
She was mysterious, which made everyone more curious.
Qi Yuying tapped Xue Ning on the forehead: "You're keeping everyone in suspense. Even grandma can't watch it?"
"I gave it to a young couple!"
Xue Ning interrupted with a smile, handed the things to Xue Du, and walked towards the restaurant taking Qi Yuying's hand.
Qi Yuying didn't forget that Shen Yinan was still beside her. She threw the things in his hand to Xue Du and held his hand to ask about his well-being.
A group of people surrounded Shen Yinan and entered the restaurant.
He turned around to look at Xue Du, but all he saw was the young man's arms piled high with gifts...
Xue Du put the gift in his room, and when he went downstairs, Shen Yinan was still surrounded by people.
The boy had never faced so much well-intentioned concern before. His face flushed red and he fiddled with the corner of his clothes with his fingertips.
Xue Du tried to get closer to Shen Yinan.
But unfortunately, Shen Yinan was surrounded by people on both sides, and Master Xue couldn't get in at all.
Xue Du: ...
Helplessly, he could only sit on the edge of the table throughout the entire dinner.
After waiting for the dinner to end, Xue Du wanted to send Shen Yinan home. As soon as he made this suggestion, he was glared at by Qi Yuying fiercely:
"You little brat, Xiaonan and I haven't even spoken a few words yet, why are you interrupting me?"
After that, holding Shen Yinan's hand, he whispered softly: "Xiao Nan, how about staying at grandma's house tonight? Your aunt Fang is the best at making breakfast. She will make you something delicious tomorrow morning."
Aunt Fang also responded from the side: "Mr. Shen, do you like sweet or salty and spicy? Just tell me, I will make it for you to try!"
Surrounded by these good intentions, Shen Yinan suddenly didn’t even know how to refuse.
I could only nod: "Okay..."
As soon as he nodded, the old lady hurriedly ordered the housekeeper: "Old Zhang, go and clean up the guest room next to Xue Du's!"
The housekeeper hurried to clean up.
That posture gave Shen Yinan the illusion that they were afraid that he would run away...
Xue Du, who was not far away, seemed to sigh, and Shen Yinan’s heart tightened.
It seemed that after he arrived, the whole family's attention was on him, and no one paid attention to Xue Du.
Shen Yinan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He was afraid that Xue Du would hate him because he had divided the Xue family's attention.
I wanted to talk to Xue Du, but I could never find the chance.
It was not until after nine o’clock in the evening that Mrs. Xue was sleepy and Shen Yinan finally freed herself from the crowd.
Xue Du was talking about business with Xue Ning when he saw the young man approaching timidly. The words he was about to say suddenly stopped.
Xue Ning followed his gaze and immediately understood.
"I won't bother you anymore, but..." Xue Ning leaned close to his brother's ear, a hint of an ambiguous smile in his voice, "Remember to be restrained."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and went upstairs as if she had accomplished something great.
A bad premonition flashed through Xue Du's mind.
Shen Yinan came over from the side and asked, “Did I disturb you?”
"No, she's sleepy." Xue Du was used to putting blame on others.
He lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him, raised his hand to tidy up the other person's slightly messy hair.
Then, she calmly took his hand.
The slender knuckles squeezed into the gaps between the fingers, the fingers were interlocked, and the palms were pressed tightly together.
Shen Yinan was slightly startled, but when he glanced at a servant passing by not far away, he understood what Xue Du meant.
Since you are a couple, you should be intimate with each other in public and behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Ana Shen mustered up the courage and moved closer to the other party.
The two took the elevator upstairs together and ran into the housekeeper coming out of the guest room.
"Mr. Shen, I was just about to come look for you." Butler Zhang asked with a smile, "The quilt has been made for you. It's the same light color as the young master's. If you like a different color, I can change it for you. Would you like to take a bath tonight? Do you need me to run the water for you?"
"No need, Uncle Zhang." Xue Du calmly took a step forward, blocking the other party's sight, "I'll do it."
Butler Zhang had worked for the Xue family for decades, but this was the first time he saw Xue Du cherishing someone so much. He couldn't help but feel happy: "Okay, then I'll go to rest first."
He hurried downstairs, thinking of leaving some space for the two of them.
The Xue family's old house has a total of eight floors. The first and second floors are social areas, the third floor is the residence of Old Madam Xue, the fourth, fifth and sixth floors belong to Xue Jingshan's three brothers and sisters respectively, the seventh and eighth floors are the residences of Xue Du and several other younger generations, and there are also several guest rooms.
Xue Du and Lu Zhi lived on the seventh floor, but Lu Zhi was called to the eighth floor to play cards with his sisters, so there were only two people on the first floor.
