"I broke the red envelope." Ji Moyan showed her the torn red envelope in her hand.
Pfft! Shangguan Wu almost burst out laughing, looking up at her mother-in-law helplessly: "How much are you planning to stuff in?"
Ji Moyan laughed and said, "I just wanted to pick an auspicious number to wish them a long and lasting love! Who knew this red envelope was too small? Could you help me find a bigger one at home?"
?
Shangguan Wu looked embarrassed: "I guess even the biggest red envelope wouldn't be able to hold it."
Ji Moyan sighed, "If it were my future daughter-in-law, I could just give her the bank card. But this is my best friend's daughter-in-law. Giving her the bank card would be a slap in my best friend's face. I can't do that."
Shangguan Wu thought of the bank card her mother-in-law had given her. If her mother-in-law did that, her aunt would definitely get angry with her.
She smiled and picked up a new red envelope and handed it to her mother-in-law: "Mom, just put 8888 in it, it's still a lucky number."
"Isn't it a bit too little?" Ji Moyan asked, looking at her.
Shangguan Wu smiled and shook his head: "This is just a small gift. The sentiment is enough. When your second cousin gets married, you can give them a big red envelope. Your aunt will be overjoyed."
After thinking about it, Ji Moyan realized that this was the only way.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"I'll help you."
Shangguan Wu helped count the money, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, and handed it to his mother-in-law.
After finishing the installation, she was the first to leave the room.
At this moment, Gu Yilou and Qin Yiqian were having a pleasant conversation in the living room. Although they were in different fields, Chen Xintong was from the business world, and the two men were taking care of her. In addition, Gu Xiaobao was also there, which made the atmosphere very pleasant.
It was indeed getting late, just after Gu Xiaobao yawned twice.
Qin Yiqian and Chen Xintong exchanged a glance and then suggested leaving.
Shangguan Wu asked his second cousin to wait a moment, and then took Chen Xintong to his pharmacy.
She had Chen Xintong try out the [Worry-Free] perfume she had created, as well as the face cream made entirely of Chinese herbs.
After using the face cream, Chen Xintong said with delight, "The face cream is so moisturizing and refreshing, I love it."
However, what she liked even more was the [Worry-Free] perfume.
Well, how should I put it?
This perfume truly deserves the name 'carefree'!
Just spray a little into the air, then close your eyes. A light, delicate fragrance fills the air, instantly giving you a feeling of returning to nature, as if you are walking in a forest filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and your mood naturally calms down.
At this moment, it seems as if all worries have truly been forgotten.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xintong opened her eyes, staring intently at Shangguan Wu, and praised her without reservation: "Wu Bao, you are truly a treasure!"
"If you like them, I'll give them all to you!" Shangguan Wu packed up the face cream and perfume, and then put two unopened sets into a paper bag.
"I like it, of course I like it!"
Seeing that she had packed so much, Chen Xintong raised an eyebrow and teased, "I wonder if there will be any left after you've used it all up?"
"Yes, I have as much as you want, as long as I have it."
When Shangguan Wu is in the mood, she will make some and keep it at home. Her mother-in-law no longer buys skincare products; she just picks them up from the pharmacy when she runs out, since she knows where she keeps them.
"You're not afraid of being taken advantage of at all!" Chen Xintong genuinely liked Shangguan Wu's personality and reached out to touch her smooth, fair face. "Thank you, Wu Bao. If I were a man, I would marry you!"
Shangguan Wu raised her head and flatly refused: "That won't do, I already have a husband!"
Chen Xintong's lips twitched: "Is Fourth Young Master so good that you didn't even hesitate for a moment?"
"Of course!" Shangguan Wu raised his chin, speaking with extreme pride.
How could the man she chose not be outstanding?
As she walked out of the pharmacy, Chen Xintong couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so envious."
Taking the opportunity, Shangguan Wu promoted her second cousin: "Sister Xintong, you can do it too! My second cousin is a very nice person, gentle and refined, humble and polite. He is a handsome young master from a noble family."
Chen Xintong chuckled, glanced at her sideways, and said as she walked away, "I know."
Originally, all the Qin family had to do was step forward and say the news was fake.
She believed that public opinion would immediately turn around and ridicule the Chen family and her for being delusional, fantasizing about marrying into the powerful Qin family, and being shameless.
But Qin Yiqian called her first to ask if she was willing to marry him, and he respected her decision.
She agreed after thinking about it for three minutes.
Chen Xintong knew that marrying Qin Yiqian was the best choice at present.
Of course, having made that choice, she's not one to be pretentious; she'll treat this marriage well.
If she tries her best but still can't make it work, she won't force Qin Yiqian.
As they approached the villa steps, Chen Xintong smiled and patted Shangguan Wu's head: "Alright, don't worry about the adults' affairs. See you tomorrow."
Shangguan Wu: "..."
She already has a baby; she's an adult!
Qin Yiqian saw Chen Xintong approaching and opened the passenger door.
Ji Moyan stuffed the prepared gift into her arms.
Chen Xintong was flattered and instinctively stepped back, saying, "Auntie, you mustn't, I can't..."
"Are you refusing because you think I didn't give you enough?" Ji Moyan pretended to be angry.
"No, I didn't..."
Before Chen Xintong could finish speaking, Qin Yiqian interrupted her: "Please accept this; it's a token of your aunt's affection."
After saying that, he took the red envelope from Ji Moyan and put it into Chen Xintong's hand.
Chen Xintong was stunned.
Ji Moyan looked at them with a smile, thinking that she would go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to find Rou Rou tomorrow, and maybe she would have another beautiful daughter-in-law by the end of the year!
Qin Yiqian and Chen Xintong left very quickly.
Shangguan Wu took Ji Moyan's arm and turned to walk into the villa.
Gu Yilou stood in front of the steps, looking up at the night sky. After a moment, he turned around and walked up the steps. Suddenly, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
"Hello."
"It's me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yilou smiled and said, "I know, your name is on the screen."
Qin Yiheng, on the other end of the phone, was also looking at the moonlight tonight, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I thought you deleted me."
Gu Yilou was about to ask me why I deleted you when Qin Yiheng said, "Want to go out for a drink?"
Gu Yilou casually asked him, "The usual place?"
"Let's go somewhere else."
"Where to..."
Before Gu Yilou could finish speaking, Gu Xiaobao's voice came from afar: "Daddy, are you looking at the stars outside?"
Gu Yilou turned around and saw his son rushing towards him like a cannonball.
"I'm sorry, I might..."
Gu Yilou paused for a moment before continuing, "I'll be leaving a little later."
Qin Yiheng thought he wasn't going out anymore.
He clicked his tongue: "Fine, you can come out after you've taken good care of my godson."
"..."
Gu Yilou's lips twitched slightly.
He hung up the phone, shook his head with a wry smile, bent down, scooped up his son who was looking up at him, and carried him into the villa: "Daddy will take you to take a bath."
