Chapter 153 Don’t be embarrassed, they have a lot of good things
Shen Xubai received a notice from Wen Xianyun, asking him to come back for dinner no matter how busy he was. Xiaoyi was going to bring his girlfriend home, and the whole family had to show up in good shape.
There was really nothing important to do over the weekend, and he also wanted to meet the real person to see what kind of girl could have charmed his arrogant brother.
He has been thinking about her for so many years and still acts like he must have her.
But just as he walked in, he ran into his good brother who was hugging someone forcefully and kissing him. He paused, not knowing whether he should go forward or not.
Hearing footsteps, Shen Yixiao raised his head, eyebrows slightly raised: "Are you back?"
Cen Wan quickly pushed him away, a blush on her fair face, and she glared at Shen Yixiao, a little annoyed.
This was the scene when they first met. I wonder how others would look at her.
Shen Yixiao was pushed away, but he immediately reached out and hugged her, holding her shoulders and looking at Shen Xubai: "Let me introduce you, little antique, Shen Xubai."
"This is my girlfriend, Cen Wan."
Cen Wan:? ? ?
She can't shout like that, right?
She moved her lips, not knowing how to address him.
Chen Xubai looked at his unruly brother and the embarrassed future sister-in-law, and smiled gently: "Just follow Xiaoyi and call me big brother."
"Brother." Cen Wan smiled at him gratefully and greeted him.
Shen Yixiao said quietly, "When did I ever call you big brother?"
Shen Xubai sat down on the sofa, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and spoke slowly: “When you ask me for help.”
"When did I beg..." Shen Yixiao was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered that something like this happened not long ago.
He tilted his head to glance at Cen Wan. He couldn't let her know about this; she would definitely be angry. So he changed the subject: "You're my brother. If I don't ask you for help, who else can I ask?"
The tone is righteous and confident.
A faint smile appeared on Shen Xubai's lips, but he didn't expose him: "Yeah."
The three of them sat and chatted for a while, and then Wen Xianyun invited them to eat.
There is no rule of "no talking while eating or sleeping" at the Shen family's dinner table. On the contrary, it is very lively and there is always endless talk.
Wen Xianyun used his serving chopsticks to pick up food for Cen Wan. "This is the lotus seed chicken in lotus leaves. The meat is tender and fresh. It's Mrs. Wang's specialty. And this Longjing shrimp, I've tried it, it's not bad."
"This is crab meat and shrimp balls, and this is fried shrimp. The chef has been making it for decades, and the taste is unparalleled..."
"Thank you, auntie. You eat, I can handle it myself." Cen Wan said with a smile as she looked at the small mountain of food on the plate.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry, you can eat more."
"good."
Cen Wan picked up a shrimp and just as she put it in her mouth, she saw Wen Xianyun staring at her intently: "How is it, Wanwan? Is it to your liking?"
Cen Wan chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed them, then put down her chopsticks and curled her lips: "It's delicious."
"That's good, let's try something else."
Not only did the three men at the table not even get a glance from Wen Xianyun, they didn't even have the chance to pick up any food.
"Ms. Wen, my girlfriend will get indigestion if you stare at her like that." Shen Yixiao said darkly, "You really look like Grandma Wolf right now."
Wen Xianyun raised his hand to hit him, but then remembered that Cen Wan was still there, and quickly withdrew his hand mid-air: "If you don't want to eat, then peel shrimps and crabs for my daughter-in-law. Why are you talking so much?"
Shen Yixiao leaned back lazily: "Have you forgotten your son now that you have a daughter-in-law? Am I your biological child?"
"I picked it up from the trash can." Wen Xianyun didn't hesitate for a second.
Seeing Cen Wan eating with small mouthfuls, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips: "Come back for dinner more often on weekends. I'm learning some new dishes recently."
"Don't," Shen Yixiao stretched out his tone, "If you want to cook for us yourself, who would dare to come back?"
Shen Zhongting scolded him: "How can you talk like that?"
Shen Yixiao shrugged: "If you don't believe me, ask Little Antique."
Shen Xubai, who was suddenly dragged in, said: "...I may not be free, but Xiaoyi has a lot of time, so it's no problem for him to come back every day."
Shen Yixiao looked at him: "???"
A smile appeared in Cen Wan's eyes. The atmosphere in the Shen family was really good. The family members spoke in a very meaningful way and it was obvious that they had a good relationship.
Moreover, Shen Yixiao is much more relaxed and talkative in front of his family, just like the annoying kid at home who is extremely talkative.
Wen Xianyun's enthusiasm was sometimes too much, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she could always feel her love and kindness, and did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Before coming here, she was still thinking about what she would say if asked about her family, but they never mentioned it during the whole process. They only asked about her work and her daily interactions with Shen Yixiao.
After dinner, Mrs. Wang brought some fruits and desserts, and they sat in the living room and chatted.
When Wen Xianyun came down from upstairs, he was holding a carved wooden box in his hand.
Shen Yixiao sat on the armrest of the sofa, put his hands on Cen Wan's shoulders, and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, it's time for the part I'm most looking forward to."
Cen Wan looked at him puzzledly.
Wen Xianyun sat down next to Cen Wan, took her hand, opened the box and handed it to her, smiling gently: "Wanwan, this is a little gift from your aunt, a meeting gift for you."
Inside the box was a set of luxurious sapphires. A double-wrapped pearl necklace, adorned with two aquamarines, was understated yet elegant, and there were also matching earrings.
Cen Wan knew a lot about minerals and knew at a glance that this set of jewelry was worth a fortune.
She waved her hands quickly: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it, aunt..."
"This was originally prepared for you. After our last hasty meeting, I've been thinking about what to give you. I just happened to buy this set of sapphires. It suits you very well."
Wen Xianyun stuffed the box into her hands: "Take it, are you not satisfied with that brat and don't want to accept it?"
"No..." Cen Wan turned around and asked Chen Yixiao for help.
Shen Yixiao took the box and stuffed it into her arms, looking very casual: "Don't be embarrassed, they have a lot of good things."
Cen Wan: "..."
She held the box in her arms, her fingers slightly folded, met Wen Xianyun's expectant eyes, and curled her lips: "Then I'll accept it, thank you, aunt."
"We're all family, no need to say thank you."
"I'll hold it for you first." Shen Yixiao knew she was shy and embarrassed, so he took it directly. Then he looked at the other two people on the sofa and said with a slight smile: "Next."
Cen Wan: "???"
Shen Zhongting took a card and handed it to Cen Wan. He coughed twice, feeling a little uncomfortable. "I don't know what you young ladies like, so I'm afraid the gift I give you won't suit your taste. Take this and buy whatever you like."
A hint of surprise flashed in Cen Wan's eyes: "Uncle..."
"Thank you, Dad."
Shen Yixiao had already taken it for her and thanked her quickly: "This is still the real deal, little antique, it's your turn."
Cen Wan looked at Shen Yixiao's righteous look and was so shocked that she was speechless.
Shen Xubai smiled helplessly: "I've been prepared for a long time."
He took out a small box containing a car key with the Prancing Horse logo printed on it. "It's a little gift from me. I chose the color ice raspberry pink. If you don't like it, you can change it."
Shen Yixiao reached out and pinched Cen Wan's face, saying in an intimate tone, "Are you stupid? Say thank you, big brother."
“…Thank you, big brother…”
Cen Wan looked at the pile of things and was at a loss for words for a moment.
Shen Yixiao saw through her at a glance and spoke casually: "Don't feel embarrassed, they are very rich."
"Just keep it and come back next time."
