"Yes, bring the boxes in like this."
At the door of Si Jin's room, Li Linyuan instructed several bodyguards to break the three-meter-tall gift box into two 1.5-meter-tall pieces, which were then placed upright in the center of the living room.
The commotion attracted a crowd of neighbors, and even the older women in the neighborhood who used to look down on the original owner couldn't help but ask about it.
"Xiao Jin? How come you're suddenly so rich? Did the Yan family send you back?"
These middle-aged women are used to gossiping together. Although they haven't done anything bad, they occasionally spread rumors that the original owner was cowardly, withdrawn, poor, and a sycophant, which is quite unpleasant.
The older woman thought Si Jin would continue to avoid people and remain silent, as before, and didn't have much hope.
Just as they were about to continue speculating about what kind of shady people he had offended, the young man spoke with a faint smile.
"Yes, I will be the future head of the Yan family. I will invite you to celebrate the housewarming then."
Good heavens! The woman couldn't help but gasp and hurriedly turned around to report the news.
From now on, you must flatter Yan Sijin! Praise him more often.
No, no, just praising him isn't enough. From now on, I'll bring him some groceries when I go grocery shopping, and I'll also bring him some of the food I cook.
Oh no! Did he not hear them talking about Yan Sijin before?
What can we do? Several of them have sons who work at Yan's company!
In short, from then on, even though Si Jin did nothing, the older women lived in constant fear.
… …
In the living room, Si Jin opened the gift box that Li Linyuan had given her and took out the candies one by one to count them.
"Jinjin." Li Linyuan hugged her from behind, complaining unhappily, "Why don't you even look at me? When you see candy, you act like... a rich man from the past seeing gold ingots, do you really want to count them one by one?"
"Hmm, otherwise how would I know if you're lying to me?" Although she replied, Si Jin's attention was still not drawn back to the gift box.
Li Linyuan slowly turned his gaze to the box. The box was square, 1.3 meters long and wide, and 1.5 meters high.
It might be a bit small for two people to go in.
But if one person sits on another person's lap...
Thinking this, his gaze became a little clouded again, and he tightened his grip slightly to prevent Si Jin from running away from him.
He would occasionally kiss her ears and neck, but he didn't make a fuss and patiently waited for Si Jin to finish counting the candies.
She slowly, very slowly, took his hand and said, "Jinjin, don't count anymore. There are the same number of candies in both boxes."
"Oh, then put it away... um..." Before she could finish speaking, Li Linyuan grabbed her chin and kissed her.
Si Jin instinctively hugged his neck tightly, and it took her a long time to get a chance to breathe again.
He heard Li Linyuan say, "Jinjin, you know what I want to do, right?"
Si Jin didn't say much, but just glanced in the direction of the bathroom and said, "Take a shower first."
Okay, let's do it together.
Li Linyuan picked the person up and carried them to the bathroom.
Half an hour later, the living room lights were turned off again, leaving only a faint light in the entryway.
Then, the person holding him slowly closed the four sides of the box.
The lid was open, and on that moonlit night, a few soft sobs could be clearly heard.
Then came the gentle reassurance: "Don't be too nervous, Jinjin. The gift box is made of paper and it's easy to break."
Inside the cat's nest, the well-behaved silver shaded cat was unaware of what was happening. It simply stepped forward on all fours and gently pawed at the slightly damp and softened gift box.
What are you doing, meow?
