Chapter 158 What? The three of them actually conspired to deceive me?
Since the journey would take two hours, he considerately looked at Yan Xici beside him.
If you're sleepy, take a nap.
The girl shook her head, her eyes gentle.
"Not sleepy."
Looking at the scenery outside the car window and thinking about what had happened in the past month, Yan Xici felt like she was dreaming.
A month ago, one of them was considering divorce, and the other was struggling to find a job.
Neither of them has it easy.
But now, I'm considered a high-income person, and Xiao Ran is even more so, with a house, a car, and everything else.
It seems like everything, big or small, good or bad, expected or unexpected, happened in this one month.
As if sensing something, the girl looked at Xiao Ran with an indescribable sense of cherishing in her eyes.
"I am very grateful for my life now and feel extremely happy."
Xiao Ran smiled and took her left hand, gently rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb.
"The road ahead is long, and we will be even happier in the future!"
Her hands were still so soft, and her skin was smooth and delicate.
Yan Xici really enjoys being held by Xiao Ran's hand. Even though they've held hands 68 times in the past month, she still feels safe and happy.
She nodded, her eyes full of smiles, "Whether we are happy or even happier, healthy or even healthier in the future, we will always be together!"
Sunlight shone on her long eyelashes.
Looking at her earnest smile, Xiao Ran only found her adorable.
The Audi's sound system was quite good, and his favorite song, 500mils, was playing.
That's how he is; if he likes a song, he can like it for a long time, and the same goes for liking a person.
Once the car was on the highway, traveling at 120 miles per hour, the trees on both sides whizzed by.
At first, Yan Xici looked around like a curious child, but soon she drifted off to sleep.
The girl tilted her head, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, making her look very cute.
Xiao Ran turned the music down a little.
It took a full two hours to get off the highway.
As soon as he entered Suzhou, the air became noticeably humid. Although he had returned to his hometown, Xiao Ran's mood was not much better at the moment.
Last night's dream left me feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, and I kept feeling that this was not a good thing.
Over here, Xiao Shengrong is busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron.
You should know that he rarely cooks.
I was busy in the kitchen at eight o'clock this morning!
On the table were cooked spare ribs, beef, salted duck, stewed fish maw, and a pot of steaming carp.
Qiu Yuru felt increasingly embarrassed.
She stood to the side, a hint of guilt in her eyes, and said, "Alright, don't bother, I'll do it."
Xiao Shengrong wiped the sweat from his face and said cheerfully, "Let me do it. You go ahead, I've prepared 20,000 yuan on the bedside table. Wrap it in red paper and give it to Xici!"
It is customary to give a red envelope when meeting your daughter-in-law for the first time.
This is a family rule of the Xiao family. Back then, when Xiao's mother met Qiu Yuru, she gave her a red envelope containing a thousand yuan.
Now that things are better, Xiao Shengrong has prepared 20,000 yuan.
"Ten thousand each for two people~"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuru was taken aback, "You're giving it back to your own son?"
"What are you thinking about? Of course it's about my unborn grandson!"
Once we take this money, we're family!
Qiu Yuru blinked, as if she wanted to say something, her lips twitched, but in the end she just nodded and responded.
I never expected this! It seems that Old Xiao really values this grandson!
Why.
It was already 11:30, and Xiao Ran's A6 was parked downstairs in the residential area.
The neighborhood is quite old, and the plane trees there are lush and verdant.
It used to be one of the best neighborhoods in the area. Now, with high-rise buildings being built one after another, it's not as glamorous as it used to be, but we still feel comfortable living here.
Yan Xici, standing downstairs, was both excited and nervous.
"This, this is your home."
The thought that this was the place where Xiao Ran grew up filled her with a strange sense of wonder.
"Yes, the third floor."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, Lao Kou took all the things Yan Xici had bought out of the trunk and carried them in one hand.
With his other hand, he grasped her fair little hand in his palm.
Let's go.
Yan Xici took a deep breath, trying hard to control her nervousness, and nodded, "Mm!"
Even the most stubborn daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually!
Qiu Yuru had just found some red paper to wrap the money when she heard the doorbell ring.
As for why we don't use red envelopes, it's because regular red envelopes aren't that big.
She hurriedly placed the red envelope in the bedroom before turning around to open the door.
Seeing the two people holding hands outside the door, carrying large and small bags, Qiu Yuru's expression changed from joy to surprise.
"Oh dear, this child, you're already here, why are you swearing so much?"
Ten successful gifts—did they bring the whole supermarket back with them?
Upon seeing Qiu Yuru, the girl smiled sweetly.
"They all looked good, and I really didn't know how to choose, so I bought them all."
Xiao Ran's parents are her own parents, so naturally she wants to give them the best.
Seeing Yan Xici's obedient appearance, Qiu Yuru liked her from the bottom of her heart.
She turned to the kitchen and said, "Old Xiao, Ranran and Xici are back!"
"Do you need to tell me? I heard you a long time ago." Xiao Shengrong took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen with a grin.
