As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a soft hand take his hand, and this time Cheng Yanzheng's whole body stiffened.
The gifts have already been given to the housekeeper, and both of their hands are now free. Since they want to show their affection, holding hands is a must.
Cheng Yanzheng did not resist. He felt the softness of Jiang Tian's hand, but it seemed that her hand was not so soft. He even felt a kind of roughness.
There are calluses on her fingertips.
Remembering that she was a designer and that he had heard she sometimes had to sew by hand, Cheng Yanzheng understood somewhat.
As the two walked in hand in hand, they saw Cheng's father with a serious expression and Cheng's mother, who looked like she was in her thirties or forties but was nearly fifty. Both of them had good looks.
Cheng Yanzheng inherited the best features of both of them, and even surpassed them in appearance.
However, Cheng Yanzheng inherited more of his father's traits.
Cheng Yanzheng has a handsome and resolute face with striking features and a slightly rugged temperament. Although he doesn't look too much like his father, they do share some similarities in their demeanor.
However, Cheng's father exuded a profound and solemn air, a quality honed by the passage of time.
"Tian Tian, Yan Zheng, you're finally here! Your father and I have been looking forward to this for so long, and we've finally managed to get you to come home for dinner today."
Compared to the stern Cheng father, Cheng Yanzheng's mother, Luo Nianzhen, had a pure and lively look in her eyes, clearly someone who had been pampered for many years.
"Mom, Dad."
Jiang Tian greeted them with a smile.
Both elders smiled and agreed.
Cheng Yanzheng also addressed him, then fell silent.
The couple had clearly anticipated that their son was a quiet and reserved person, and Luo Nianzhen quickly and affectionately started talking to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian was not intimidated at all. The two chatted for a while, and she took the opportunity to show the two elders the gifts she had brought earlier.
“I asked Yanzheng what you like, and he said that Mom usually likes to research fashion brands, and Dad likes to study chess. Cheng Yanzheng and I just got married and have only recently returned to China, so I can only awkwardly express my feelings for now. Don’t worry, once I understand the situation in China, I will definitely give you a better gift. However, these two gifts are also very nice. Cheng Yanzheng specially picked them out for you, and I trust my husband’s taste.”
After she finished speaking, Luo Nianzhen couldn't help but laugh.
"Was it really Yan Zheng who chose it?"
Jiang Tian nodded: "Yes."
Luo Nianzhen looked at her son, Cheng Yanzheng, who did not refute her.
Luo Nianzhen was so happy she almost cried: "This is wonderful, wonderful! I love this gift so much!"
She expressed her liking, and Cheng's father's eyes softened.
Cheng Yanzheng glanced at Jiang Tian without showing any emotion.
The so-called "picking" that Jiang Tian mentioned was just him nodding when she asked him if it was good. He nodded no matter what she said.
Since she said that, he wouldn't contradict her.
With these two gifts, the Cheng couple treated their son and daughter-in-law even better. They chatted for a while before going to eat.
The dining table was very long, and Cheng Yanzheng, with Jiang Tian holding his hand, sat down near his parents.
During the meal, Jiang Tian smiled and used serving chopsticks to serve food to the two elders. After putting down her chopsticks, she said to Cheng Yanzheng next to her, "Honey, serve me some food."
Normally, when Cheng Yanzheng comes home for dinner, the three of them eat separately, and the atmosphere is very cold.
But when it came to Jiang Tian, she served food and soup to the two elders, who couldn't help but thank her.
So the atmosphere wasn't so tense anymore.
Cheng Yanzheng never expected that Jiang Tian would ask him to serve her some food.
"What would you like to eat?" He asked softly after hesitating for a few seconds.
"Peel the shrimp for me, it's such a hassle."
Jiang Tian said to him with a smile.
Cheng Yanzheng didn't say anything, put on his gloves and carefully peeled a bowl of shrimp for Jiang Tian.
Seeing them peeling and eating shrimp, the couple across from them softened their expressions even more.
While Cheng Yanzheng was peeling shrimp for Jiang Tian, she also served him soup and picked out some vegetables.
Both of them were busy with their own affairs and got along very harmoniously, which Cheng Yanzheng's parents noticed.
The meal, thanks to Jiang Tian's presence, had a touch of warmth and homeliness.
When it was time for them to leave, Luo Nianzhen felt a little reluctant to part with them.
Although Jiang Tian grew up abroad, she is a very good conversationalist and has no shortcomings in interpersonal relationships.
Besides, she was originally a fashion designer, and Luo Nianzhen got so engrossed in talking to her about those fashion brands that she almost forgot herself.
If Jiang Tian didn't have to go to work tomorrow, and if Cheng Yanzheng didn't usually stay here, Luo Nianzhen would have kept her son and daughter-in-law here.
"Remember to come again next week, and we can go shopping together then."
Luo Nianzhen held Jiang Tian's hand, her eyes lingering on him.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I won't forget what we agreed on."
Luo Nianzhen smiled with satisfaction.
On the other side, Cheng's father was also telling Cheng Yanzheng: "Now that you're married, live a good life with your wife."
Cheng Yanzheng casually lifted his eyelids, glanced at his father, and hummed in response.
Since his son always did this, Mr. Cheng had long since learned to regulate his emotions.
……………………
As Jiang Tian sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt, Cheng Yanzheng subconsciously glanced to the side.
He was taken aback.
The warmth and friendliness that had just appeared on Jiang Tian vanished in an instant. She looked extremely indifferent and aloof, her face utterly serene.
Jiang Tian clearly didn't expect him to look at her during this brief moment, and she revealed her true emotions.
