Chapter 181 Gifts and Gifts
Mr. Xiang packed some dipping sauce for the two of them, asking Xiang Yun to go back and try making some new dishes.
Cui Yuyue saw them to the door, then secretly peeked into her mother's study. Seeing that Ms. Cui hadn't appeared, she loudly reminded her, "Brother! Remember to come back and visit often after you go back!"
"What's all the fuss about? So loud." Ms. Cui walked out unhurriedly, carrying a paper bag in her hand, and handed it to Xu Songning. "This is a gift from your uncle and aunt. Take it."
Xu Songning glanced at Xiang Yun, who nodded, and Xu Songning accepted the box. It wasn't heavy at all, but she was also a little excited. What would Aunt Cui give her? She thought she had done well today.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle and Aunt. You've had a long day. We'll be leaving now," Xu Songning said politely.
Xiang Yun nodded to his parents, ignored Cui Yuyue's waving, and left with Xu Songning.
As soon as they got into the car, Xu Songning took his hand and asked, "Brother Yun! How did I do today? Did I show any weakness?"
Xiang Yun squeezed her hand in return, "No, you're fine, no need to worry. Have you felt unwell today?"
"Not feeling well?" Xu Songning realized that Xiang Yun was probably asking her if the commotion caused by the Lin family mother and daughter today had affected her mood.
"To be honest, there is a bit of that. I wanted to leave a good impression on your mother, but she was upset that we talked about Lin Yao in front of her." Xu Songning was a little worried. It was her first time visiting, and she had already made a mistake.
However, seeing that Mrs. Lin and Ms. Cui's relationship was not equal at all, she felt that she and Xiang Yun were right to criticize them.
“She won’t give you a gift if she’s not happy.” Xiang Yun glanced at the paper bag; it had no logo, and he had no idea what his mother would give her.
"Open it and see?" Xu Songning's curiosity was piqued. The paper bag wasn't heavy, and inside was a pure white box.
"have a look."
As Xiang Yun drove off, Xu Songning unpacked the gifts beside him. The boxes didn't have any extra gift wrapping, so they could be opened directly.
Xu Songning carefully opened the box, inside which was a gold necklace.
"This isn't real gold, is it?" Xu Songning was a little surprised. She picked up the necklace, which was shaped like a chubby airplane. "It's so cute! Is this your aunt's way of appreciating my profession?"
Xiang Yun took a quick look while the light was red and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Songning punched his shoulder.
“Real gold. My mom gave me one too, nothing new.” Xiang Yun took the necklace, rubbing the chubby airplane with his fingers. His mother didn’t want him to learn to fly, but he insisted on filling out his college application anyway.
Despite his disobedience to Ms. Cui, she did not punish him. Instead, she sent him a custom-made gold-plated airplane the night before he went to school.
“That’s a matching set for couples, and it was a gift from your mother, so it’s very meaningful. I have to keep it as a keepsake.” Xu Songning put the necklace back in the box. The paper bag was too big, so she left it in the car. When she got out of the car, she only took the box with her.
After a long day, the two of them were exhausted when they got home. They lay on the sofa, each scrolling through their phones, when the doorbell rang.
"Brother Yun, go open the door, I'm tired." Xu Songning rolled half a circle on the sofa to make room for him.
Xiang Yun gently patted her back and got up to open the door.
The deliveryman was outside the door. He glanced at Xiang Yun with a strange look in his eyes as he held the package. "Is this Xu Songning?"
"Yes." Xiang Yun signed the delivery slip.
"Okay, goodbye." The deliveryman gave a gossipy smile.
Xiang Yun walked back with the package in her hand. "What did you buy? Why did the delivery guy look at me so strangely?"
"I didn't buy anything, who sent it?" Xu Songning sat up and took the package.
The two sat on the sofa and studied the package. The sender was Zhou Qiao, and the shipping address was Freedom Bar.
"What's so strange about this? The deliveryman is making a fuss over nothing." Xu Songning was about to open the package when she saw the words in the remarks section: Sexy Temptation Set.
? ? ?
Xu Songning almost threw the package in her hand. Before Xiang Yun noticed, she quickly stood up while still holding the package. "Um, Brother Yun, why don't you go take a shower first? I'll take a shower after I finish unpacking the package. I'm tired after a long day, let's go to bed early."
“Okay.” Xiang Yun didn’t suspect anything, assuming that Zhou Qiao had bought her something but didn’t want to show it to him.
After Xiang Yun entered the bathroom, Xu Songning quickly called Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao answered the phone quickly. It was noisy on her end, obviously from a bar.
"Songning, what's wrong? Did you receive the package I sent?"
"What did you send? And why did you write on the package?!" Xu Songning sighed, the handwriting was so bad, thank goodness it wasn't a package she picked up herself.
"Writing? I probably copied it to the wrong place. Actually, I meant to send you a message, but I accidentally wrote it on the package." Zhou Qiao scratched her head, seemingly realizing she hadn't really written anything...
"...So, what is this package?"
"This is the ultimate bar prize I'm giving you both! Don't thank me too much! Don't love me too much, you'll have to wait in line to love me."
"Do I need to wait in line before I beat you up?" Xu Songning opened the package, wanting to see what she had sent.
"Why are you hitting me? That wasn't for you, it was for Captain Xiang!"
Xu Songning hung up the phone, took out the jingling object from the package, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun." Xu Songning knocked on the bathroom door.
The sound of water inside stopped, and Xiang Yun, rubbing his hair, asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Did you say you'd make it up to me for the grievances I suffered today?" Xu Songning leaned against the sink, fiddling with the silver chain in her hand. The chain was long enough and had a certain weight to it, the strands clinking together.
"Speak."
Xu Songning put the silver chain in a box and placed it on the washstand. "I prepared a gift for you. It's on the washstand. Take a good look at it after I finish showering."
"..."
Xiang Yun regretted it too late; Xu Songning was indeed quite persistent.
Usually, by the time Xu Songning finished showering, Xiang Yun was already in bed. She showered at her usual pace, a little expectant, wondering if Brother Yun would really listen to her.
When she went out wearing her newly bought nightgown and rubbing her wet hair, Xiang Yun was leaning against the bed, not wearing a shirt on her upper body and wearing light-colored jeans on her lower body.
Xu Songning forgot to dry her hair and stared intently at the chain on his upper body.
Xiang Yun has a well-proportioned physique, with muscles bulging where they should be, and beautiful lines. He leans against the bed, and with just a casual movement, the silver chains on his body rise and fall with his breathing, creating a far more impactful effect than the video.
Xiang Yun, hands in his pockets, walked up to her. The silver chain added a wild beauty to his appearance. He asked, "Sister Xu, does it add fifty seconds to my lifespan?"
Yes, absolutely!
