Chapter 184 Buying Gifts for Future In-Laws



Xia Nuan took out the coat she bought for Li Dongyang from her shopping spoils after a day of shopping.

The weather in Wancheng is relatively warm, so a regular quilted jacket is sufficient.

It's a trendy royal blue outfit.

"What do you think of this coat?" Xia Nuan took a coat out of the bag and held it in front of the camera.

"It looks nice, but the style is too youthful, it's a bit like something a child would wear."

"Oh!" Xia Nuan said "oh" and put the coat back in the bag, then took out a second one that looked a bit like a jacket, pure black.

Li Dongyang prefers this style to the previous ones.

"Choose one of the two. Which one do you like?" Xia Nuan asked.

“I’ll choose the black one,” Li Dongyang replied.

"Okay, I got it."

"What about the pants?" Xia Nuan continued, taking out a pair of dark-colored cargo pants from the bag.

She remembered that Li Dongyang liked this style.

Sure enough, as soon as it was taken out, Li Dongyang praised how beautiful it was.

Xia Nuan has now figured out Li Dongyang's preferences; he likes to wear dark-colored jackets.

I like to wear cargo pants.

As for why Li Dongyang likes it, it's probably because the work clothes don't trap eggs.

There's space inside where you can freely walk your bird, but it's a bit tight compared to jeans, and he's not used to wearing them.

I prefer to wear light-colored sneakers.

As for the inner layer, Li Dongyang should look good in anything he buys.

After Xia Nuan finished her video call with Li Dongyang, she didn't chat idly and hang up immediately like she used to.

He then sent a voice message to Li Dongyang's mother.

Is Auntie asleep?

Xia Nuan quickly received a response from Xiao Qianwen, "Not yet, is there something you need from Auntie?"

Yes!

"I'm thinking of giving an elder a coat, but I don't know which one to choose. Aunt Xiao, could you give me some suggestions?"

“Okay, send me the styles. I don’t have many hobbies, but I like to browse Taobao. I’m an expert at choosing clothes online.”

"Tell me about the other person's height and general style, and I'll give you some advice."

"Around 163cm tall, a strong career woman, with a great temperament, and weighing around 110 pounds."

"She belongs to the gentle and graceful type."

Xiao Qianwen rolled her eyes, feeling as if Xia Nuan was talking about her.

"And your age?"

"Around 45, looks very young."

Xiao Qianwen nodded.

"Auntie, please pick out two sets for me according to your preferences."

"No problem, Auntie is very good at picking out clothes."

Xia Nuan has seen Xiao Qianwen's fashion sense and it is indeed very good.

Although many of the clothes were discounted, they still looked elegant on her, probably because Xiao Qianwen herself has a great temperament.

beep!

beep!

beep!

Xia Nuan posted 5 outfits in a row.

Each outfit was carefully coordinated by the shop staff and looked quite nice.

"I received it. Let me take a look at it for you."

Xia Nuan waited patiently on the other end of the phone screen.

Xiao Qianwen lay on the bed, resting her chin on her elbow, carefully examining each outfit. These clothes were all very nice and elegant; she thought all five sets were good.

Xiao Qianwen replied to the message about 5 minutes later.

"These five sets are all great; you'll be very proud to give any of them as a gift."

"The most important thing about gifts is the sentiment. If the other person likes you, anything you give them is good. But if they don't like you, even if you give them a mountain of gold, it won't make a difference."

"Personally, I like the last three outfits the most. They are elegant and sophisticated, and they won't go out of style even if you wear them for several years."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Xiao."

Xia Nuan also prepared a gift for Li Dongyang's father.

Because she didn't know the size, she didn't buy any, but instead went to the restaurant and got a few bottles of good wine.

She had heard Li Dongyang mention before that his father liked to have a drink or two in the evenings when he had nothing to do.

Buying wine and tea would be a very good idea.

When we get there, I'll give the two elderly people a red envelope, and that should be fine, right?

"Thank you, Auntie. I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Xia Nuan took out the three outfits that Xiao Qianwen had chosen and put them together with the ones that Li Dongyang had just picked out.

I'll bring it to them when I go back to Wancheng this time.

After all, we're going to someone's home for the Lunar New Year, so these etiquette rules can't be skipped.

Half an hour later, Li Dongyang's phone rang again.

Do you have any siblings?

A question mark appeared above Li Dongyang's head. "Why are you asking this?"

"Yes or no?"

Li Dongyang: "I don't have any blood relatives, but I do have a few cousins."

How old are they?

"Two are in junior high school, and one is in high school."

"Okay, I understand." Xia Nuan replied to Li Dongyang and then sent a message to Li Jing.

I also bought some gifts that girls tend to like.

As a future daughter-in-law, you should make a good impression on your first visit.

A gift plus a red envelope would be a perfect combination.

Xia Nuan then inquired about all of Li Dongyang's family members.

"Why haven't I seen you at the police station for several days?" Li Dongyang teased.

"No?" Xia Nuan replied.

After regaining her senses, Xia Nuan realized that Li Dongyang was teasing her.

"By the way, why did you ask about our family members?"

"None of your business."

The two ended their call.

The study door opened again.

Xia Yi walked out with a dark expression.

It goes without saying that Zhou Hao must have led Xia Yi into the ditch.

"I'm not playing with you anymore. You're terrible at the game and you still won't admit it."

"I've never seen anyone like you since I was 16."

"It's one thing to play badly, but to criticize from top to bottom is another. The top laner provokes you and you're cursing them."
