Chapter 870 It's time to meet the parents!
“Then how about…” Le Yan pursed her lips, stared at Fu Nian’an, and tentatively asked, “After we go back this time, we can find some time to visit your home?”
Fu Nian'an was taken aback and looked at her, "Are you sure?"
“You’ve already said they know it’s me, so as a junior, I should take the initiative to visit them.”
Fu Nian'an observed Le Yan's expression.
Seeing her serious expression, he pursed his lips and said, "If you're doing this to make me happy, but you're not mentally prepared yourself, then it's better not to."
Le Yan frowned, "I'm mentally prepared!"
But clearly, Fu Nian'an didn't quite believe it.
The main issue was that Leyan's suggestion to meet her parents was rather sudden.
“Yangyang, I don’t want you to compromise for me. When we’re together, I hope that every decision you make comes from your heart. I don’t want you to compromise yourself just to please me or for the sake of the bigger picture.”
“I’m not wronged!” Le Yan said, both amused and exasperated. “I actually really wanted to meet your family, but I was too insecure before. I was always afraid that I wasn’t good enough and that your family wouldn’t like and accept me.”
Le Yan looked into Fu Nian'an's eyes, a sweet smile appearing on her lips, her voice gentle, "But now that I know they already knew, and they still support us being together, I feel I can't be a coward anymore!"
"There's no rush."
"Well, this time I can take a vacation and stay in Beicheng for a while. After the film crew resumes work, I'll be very busy, and this busy period may last for more than half a year!"
Fu Nian'an pursed her lips.
Le Yan, fearing he still wouldn't believe her, added, "Fu Nian'an, since we've agreed to spend our lives together, I need to gradually integrate into your life. They are your family, and they will be my family in the future. As a junior, it's only right that I take the initiative to visit them. I can't expect them to come to me first, can I?"
“I’m glad you think that way.” Fu Nian’an touched her face and asked, “My mom’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. If you’re okay with it, could I take you home with me?”
"A birthday?" Le Yan hesitated. "Are we having a birthday party?"
"No, my mom is used to being low-key. It's just a casual meal with family and close friends. It's nothing special."
“That’s fine.” Le Yan nodded, then asked, “What does Auntie like? I need to prepare a gift.”
Fu Nian'an pinched her earlobe, "You are the best gift."
Le Yan glanced at him and said, "You're just good at flattering me."
“It’s the truth.” Fu Nian’an was in a good mood at the moment, her voice low and gentle. “They keep urging me to take you home.”
Le Yan was slightly taken aback, then her cheeks flushed.
I feel a little embarrassed.
But Fu Nian'an's words eased the tension in my heart considerably.
“Even if you say that, I still need to prepare a gift!” Le Yan said. “I was thinking that since I’m going to give a gift, I should try to give something that your aunt will like and that is appropriate.”
Fu Nian'an knew that Le Yan wanted to express her feelings.
Although he knew that even if Le Yan didn't send her, his mother wouldn't have any objections.
But as Le Yan said, this is a sentiment.
But what would be a suitable gift?
Fu Nian'an was pondering when suddenly his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
Immediately afterward, the man's deep gaze fell on Le Yan's face, and he raised his dark eyebrows slightly: "You really want to give it to me?"
Le Yan looked at him, her eyes sparkling, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, we must send it!"
“Alright, I have a great suggestion.” Fu Nian’an looked at her, a sly glint in his eyes. “It’s just that I don’t know if our Yanyan can afford to give this gift?”
Upon hearing this, Le Yan immediately became displeased.
She frowned, glaring defiantly at Fu Nian'an, "Who do you think you are! Although my personal savings are far less than yours, I can still afford to give away things under fifty million!"
"Fifty million?" Fu Nian'an chuckled. "I know, our Yanyan has fifty million in private savings!"
Le Yan: "..."
Damn it, our family's wealth was so easily extracted!
Fifty million is a negligible amount for Fu Siyan and the Fu family, but for Le Yan personally, it is a huge sum!
Before this year, she was a poor woman who had to sell her beloved car to barely make ends meet!
Looking at Le Yan's ever-changing expression, Fu Nian'an couldn't help but chuckle a few times. "The gift my mother likes is, strictly speaking, priceless."
"!!" Le Yan gasped. "No, it can't be a private jet or a cruise ship, can it? Waaah, I can't afford that right now... Ouch!"
The man's knuckles lightly tapped her forehead, and Le Yan gasped, covering her forehead and glaring at him with a hint of resentment, "Why did you hit my head? It'll make you stupid!"
"I wasn't particularly smart to begin with."
"Fu Nian'an! You... um!"
My lips and teeth were suddenly blocked.
Fu Nian'an cupped her face and kissed her gently again and again, then pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her head with his large hand, and sighed helplessly: "Silly Yanyan, how can these material things represent your true feelings?"
Le Yan blinked.
In fact, she knew that Fu's mother must have been exceptionally kind and cultured to have raised such a good person as Fu Nian'an.
Compared to the material possessions they can easily obtain, true love is more precious than anything else.
But as a junior, when visiting an elder for the first time, how can you go empty-handed and only bring a sincere heart?
Sincerity is important, but proper etiquette is also essential.
This is basic respect, and this is how Lin Minsheng taught her from a young age.
“Besides sincerity, I have to bring a tangible gift. If you don’t tell me, I’ll just prepare one myself!” Le Yan looked up at Fu Nian’an with a serious expression.
"If you want to send it, I can help you."
"Then how could I be fake?" Le Yan was frantic. "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
"This requires the two of us to work together."
Did they complete it together?
Le Yan frowned, completely bewildered.
"I can't guess, just tell me!"
The man just chuckled softly, keeping everyone in suspense, "No rush, I'll tell you what to bring when we get to Beicheng."
"You're just teasing me on purpose!" Le Yan pushed him away angrily. "I'm angry, and I won't let you hug me until you tell me!"
Fu Nian'an looked at the sulking girl and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you getting so angry?"
"You're getting angry!" Le Yan snorted coldly, turned her back, and pulled the small blanket over herself. "I'm going to sleep now, don't bother me."
Le Yan thought that if she did this, Fu Nian'an would compromise.
But I didn't expect Fu Nian'an to be so patient.
Le Yan waited and waited, until she fell asleep, but she still didn't hear Fu Nian'an tell her what gift Shen Qingshu liked.
As the plane landed, Leyan vaguely felt herself being picked up while she was still half asleep.
She opened her eyes and met the man's deep, doting gaze.
Fu Nian'an carried Le Yan out of the cabin.
Le Yan fully regained consciousness, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked softly, "Can you tell me now?"
Fu Nian'an smiled and whispered in her ear.
Upon hearing this, Le Yan's pupils widened, and a blush gradually spread across her cheeks...
