The next morning, Cui Qingling and Lan Xing arrived at the door with gifts.
Meng Wan was waiting for them downstairs in advance, not ignoring these details just because they were her childhood friends.
Knowing in advance that the two would be arriving, the Meng couple did not neglect them because they were children. Instead, they packed their things early in the morning, bought fresh fruit, cut it up, and waited for the two to arrive.
"Hello, Auntie and Uncle." The two people held the gifts and smiled.
One was fair-skinned and pretty, clearly the well-behaved girl next door. The other had short, neat hair, slightly tanned skin, and exuded energy and vibrancy. Both had distinct personalities, the kind that would attract attention wherever they went.
"Okay! Okay! Come in quickly." Qin Yi was very happy. Apart from Yan Nian, this was the first time Meng Wan had brought a friend to visit.
"These shoes are brand new; my mom went to the supermarket to buy them yesterday." Meng Wan smiled and placed two brand new pairs of slippers in front of them.
With great difficulty, the group finally managed to sit down.
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm so sorry that I kept putting it off until now, saying I wanted to visit you."
"I remember you, aren't you the little girl who rode the motorcycle last time? You said you were sorry and that you could come anytime."
"My uncle also liked these motorcycles when he was young. It's rare to see a girl who likes to ride them. They're so cool."
The two of them, one after the other, completely dispelled Lan Xing's unease.
"This is wine produced by our family's winery. Auntie can have a glass whenever she has free time; it's good for her skin and beauty."
"At my age..." Qin Yi touched her face, feeling a little shy.
"Hey, Wanwan's face is inherited from you two. When we go out, a lot of people will think you are Wanwan's older sister."
Lan Xing was naturally enthusiastic and eloquent. Before long, she had the two elders laughing heartily. Meng Wan and Cui Qingling, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
They have always admired Lan Xing's social skills.
"Uncle and Auntie, this is a little trinket I designed myself. Considering that you both work in a noodle shop, I specially strung the two couple rings together into a necklace. It's easy to put on and take off. Do you like it?"
Cui Qingling's cheeks flushed slightly, and her expression was somewhat uneasy. At this moment, the renowned, talented jewelry designer seemed a little insecure.
The two were startled. "You designed this yourself?"
“Yes, the jewelry brand that Third Brother endorsed before was designed by Qingling,” Meng Wan explained.
"So young, yet so capable. Kids these days are really something else." Meng Boqun said this deliberately in an exaggerated tone, which made everyone present laugh.
Cui Qingling was a little shy, and Qin Yi opened the box at that moment.
Upon opening it, the two exclaimed in surprise.
"It looks so good. I never thought we could be on the trend of young people and get matching jewelry." Qin Yi blushed slightly, while Meng Boqun had already put the necklace on Qin Yi.
"It looks great," Meng Boqun praised.
The three of them exchanged a glance, their eyes full of mockery.
"Alright, you two enjoy yourselves. We'll go into our rooms now."
"Okay, bring the fruit in, and stay for lunch." Qin Yi knew that the two children would be too shy with them around, so she agreed to Meng Wan's suggestion.
Meng Wan knew that the two of them deliberately chose to come in the morning because they wanted to find out something.
Sure enough, as soon as the door closed, the two women immediately surrounded her. Meng Wan leaned against the door, raised her hands, and played along with them.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"
What happened after we left yesterday?
"Is Ms. Meng currently single?"
"If not, how far has it progressed?"
The two of them took turns saying something, leaving Meng Wan both amused and exasperated.
"Could you do it one at a time, ladies?"
Lan Xing and Cui Qingling exchanged a glance, as if they had made a huge decision, before pulling her to sit down.
The three of them placed the fruit on the table, then each grabbed a cushion and hugged it to their arms. After finding the most comfortable position to enjoy the melon, they all stared at Meng Wan.
"Tell me, how did Yan Nian confess his feelings after we left?" Lan Xing smiled maliciously.
"Did you kiss me?" She pouted at Cui Qingling, her expression somewhat lewd.
Meng Wan looked helpless, but still nodded. Hearing this, their eyes brightened, and their expressions became increasingly excited.
"Tell us the details quickly!"
"You two single dogs seem to know quite a lot," Meng Wan retorted jokingly.
"Having a boyfriend really makes a difference; now they even call us single dogs." Cui Qingling shook her head, feigning heartache.
The three of them are usually very energetic, but only at this time do they act like ordinary girls.
Meng Wan didn't hold back anything; she said everything she could and was embarrassed to say.
"So, you're going on a date this afternoon?" Cui Qingling blinked.
Meng Wan nodded, her face calm.
"How can you be so calm? This is your first date!" Lan Xing emphasized the words 'first date'.
She grabbed Meng Wan's shoulders and shook her, trying to bring her back to her senses.
"We've known each other since we were five years old, and we've been out together before, so what's there to be nervous about?" Meng Wan asked, puzzled, and calmly ate a piece of fruit.
"Okay, so what are you planning to wear this afternoon?"
Meng Wan looked confused. "This is it?"
She tugged at her short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Although there was nothing wrong with them, she felt that they were no different from Meng Wan's usual style.
Cui Qingling sighed, "Luckily, I know your personality, so I brought some accessories just to be on the safe side."
Cui Qingling opened her bag and took out the contents one by one. Various accessories of different styles were placed in front of the two of them, which made Lan Xing gasp softly.
"It's so beautiful."
"Come to my studio and pick some later. These are all quite suitable for Wanwan's style. I've prepared something else for you." Cui Qingling's voice was gentle, and Lan Xing, touched, hugged her and gave her a kiss.
"Blue Star, take it out."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lan Xing suddenly realized and took a gift bag out of her bag.
"The box was too big, so I put it in a gift bag." Lan Xing chuckled and scratched his head.
Cui Qingling had no choice but to take it out anyway. Fortunately, the clothes were thin and didn't wrinkle.
"This was specially designed by Su Ping after we learned about Yan Nian's plan. It was tailor-made for you!"
Cui Qingling stood up and unfolded her skirt.
It was a floral dress, perfect for summer. The dress was made of breathable fabric, not heavy at all, and very comfortable to wear.
Meng Wan turned around and showed them the dress.
The two nodded, quite satisfied.
“I can somewhat understand why you can cooperate with Su Ping.” Cui Qingling held Meng Wan’s hand, looking her over from left to right.
"Then I'll put on some makeup, have a beautiful date, and surprise Yan Nian to death!" Lan Xing seemed even more excited than Meng Wan, looking eager to try it out.
