Shi Nian's mood fluctuated with Feng Sihan's words, and her lost confidence gradually returned.
It was just a family dinner, and the uncle and aunt seemed to be easy to get along with. What did she have to be afraid of?
To be on the safe side, before leaving the house the next day, she went to the next room, knocked on the door, and asked, "Si Han, what kind of clothes are you wearing?"
Feng Sihan opened the door from the inside and said, "I'll just wear the sportswear I'm wearing now."
Shi Nian saw that he was dressed so casually and hesitated, "What should I wear? Wouldn't my usual clothes be too casual?"
"Won't."
Feng Sihan looked her up and down. "You look good in this sweatshirt and jeans. You look youthful, beautiful, natural and generous."
Shi Nian felt a little embarrassed by his praise, "If you say so, I will believe it."
"Shall we set off now?"
Shi Nian turned around and went back to the bedroom. "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go get the gifts I bought for my uncle and aunt!"
Feng Sihan couldn't help but look forward to what birthday gift Shi Nian would give him.
Shi Nian wanted to give Feng Sihan a surprise, so she waited until she got to his house and gave him the gift after meeting his uncle and aunt.
She put the gift box containing the scarf into the health care product gift bag she had prepared in advance and mixed it with the gifts for Feng's father and mother.
Feng Sihan was waiting for Shi Nian at the door. When he saw her coming out of the bedroom with a lot of bags, he asked in surprise, "Are you going to take all these?"
"Well, I didn't know what uncle and aunt liked, so I bought a little bit of everything. I bought a scarf and jewelry for aunt, a razor and a watch for uncle, and also some health supplements that both of them could take."
Shi Nian saw that Feng Sihan had been staring at the things in her hands. She was worried that he would see through her, so she walked in front of him with the things in her hands, "Sihan, let's go. I have things in both hands. Can you help me open the door?"
Feng Sihan wanted to help Shi Nian lighten her burden, but she cleverly avoided him.
The door was opened by Feng Sihan, and Shi Nian hurriedly strode out, keeping a distance from him.
"These things aren't heavy, I can just hold them."
Feng Sihan fell behind and noticed that Shi Nian was always tidying up the things in her right hand from time to time. Combined with her reaction just now, he immediately realized that she had hidden her birthday gift for him in there.
He was in a good mood, with the corners of his lips raised, and he quickly followed Shi Nian.
After getting in the car, Shi Nian put all her things neatly in the back seat. Feng Sihan saw her sorting the bag of health products from the rearview mirror, and became more certain of his thoughts.
Shi Nian didn't notice anything, so he returned to the passenger seat, sat down, and fastened his seat belt, "Let's go."
The car drove out of the community and onto the main road. Shi Nian looked out the window and gradually realized that the road they were taking did not seem to be the road to Grandma Feng's house.
Shi Nian was puzzled, "Si Han, aren't we having a family dinner? Why are you walking straight?"
"It's a family dinner. We're going to my parents' house."
"I thought so."
Shi Nian couldn't help but be curious, "Which neighborhood do your parents live in? Is it close to the city?"
"They live in an old house on the outskirts of the city. It's still about half an hour's drive from us."
An old house in the suburbs...is it a bungalow in the countryside?
That shouldn't be the case. She remembered Feng Sihan mentioned that his brother ran a company, and his family must be well-off to be able to afford a villa for Grandma Feng.
Why would the two old people, who had just returned from abroad, live in a bungalow in the village?
It is not impossible that Shi Nian figured it out in an instant.
Nowadays, the self-built houses renovated in rural areas are also like small villas. The old house that Feng Sihan mentioned is probably that kind of house.
"Si Han, what do your parents do? What are their hobbies? Tell me about them so that I can have something to talk about with them."
"My mother likes to take care of flowers and plants, and my father...he has a wide range of hobbies. He recently started writing calligraphy."
"Writing calligraphy is good, it helps to cultivate one's character."
Shi Nian's mind flashed with the scene of her and Feng Sihan growing flowers and raising pets while Feng Sihan wrote calligraphy when they were old. The corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
She and Feng Sihan chatted idly as the scenery outside the car gradually changed. There were fewer tall buildings, the roads became wider, and there were more green plants.
Shi Nian had been to a village in the suburbs. She looked out the window and saw the signpost on the roadside, but discovered that Feng Sihan drove in another direction at the fork in the road.
"Si Han, are you sure you want to go this way?"
"I am sure."
Shi Nian thought that maybe the distance this way was shorter and would take less time, so Feng Sihan went this way.
He was going home, how could he take the wrong road?
Ten minutes later, the view on both sides suddenly became wider.
Shi Nian saw the manor rising from the ground in front of her, and her lips parted slightly, "Are all self-built houses so...luxurious now?"
Feng Sihan asked, "What do you mean by self-built house?"
Shi Nian pointed at the manor that was getting closer and closer, "Is this the old house you just told me about?"
"Yes, this house is almost a hundred years old, and our ancestors lived here."
Shi Nian opened her lips slightly, and suddenly realized that there was a big discrepancy between what she thought she knew and the reality.
"Your brother's company...is it an inherited business?"
"Yes, I didn't want to go into business, so I joined the army, and my brother managed the company alone."
Feng Sihan slowed down the car, and the gate of the manor sensed his car and slowly opened.
For the first time, Shi Nian felt the real meaning of what Feng Sihan meant by wealth. His family's ancestral home from a hundred years ago was so magnificent. How rich must the family fortune be to have been inherited by several generations?
Feng Sihan's car was parked in the front yard. Shi Nian stood under the manor, raised her head and looked up, and was shocked again by the close distance.
"Nian Nian, did I take the gift you bought from the car?"
Shi Nian was brought back to reality by Feng Sihan's voice, "Wait a minute, I'll get it myself!"
She walked to Feng Sihan, leaned over to take out all the gifts from the back row, and suddenly felt that the gifts in her hands were a little difficult to give away.
She couldn't help but ask, "Si Han, why didn't you ever tell me that your family is so rich?"
Shi Nian accidentally caught a glimpse of the servants in uniform not far away, and felt even more embarrassed. "If I had known your house was so big, I would have dressed more formally. Is it too late for me to go back and change clothes now?"
Feng Sihan comforted her, "Nian Nian, no matter how big the house is, it is still a home, don't be nervous."
He explained, "I didn't tell you about my family's situation because I don't want to rely on them. I hope that my wealth is created by myself. For example, the house we live in now was bought with my own savings, not with my family's money. Although it is a little small compared to the manor, I will work hard to buy you a bigger house in the future."
Shi Nian was in mixed emotions. What Feng Sihan said was completely different from what she was worried about!
Shi Nian glanced at the clothes on her body. "I'm wearing something so... simple. Will uncle and aunt think that I'm not worthy of you?"
"How could that be? You don't mind my high-risk job, they like you too much."
Feng Sihan took the thing in her left hand and held her hand which had become slightly cold due to nervousness.
