Sometimes when An'an wanted to help tidy up a cup, a sharp-eyed shop assistant would immediately snatch the cup from her hand. This was something Xie Chuan had instructed, telling all the shop's employees to be careful.
Keep an eye on the boss's wife and don't let her do any work; the employees always keep this in mind.
Actually, An'an had already guessed it; it was Xie Chuan's idea.
But she didn't say much more.
The next day, as expected, there were a lot of customers. Although there was usually a lot of foot traffic, there were even more today. An'an also noticed that many students had come over.
She suddenly realized that it might be because her previous pricing was a bit high, and some students might also want to try it.
However, since their living expenses are limited, a cup of coffee might cost them the price of a day or two's meals, so they are reluctant to drink it. Since there is an event today, they naturally want to come and try it.
So An An decided to launch an event where students could enjoy coffee at half price by showing their student ID.
This is also very friendly to students.
As expected, the launch of this event generated a great deal of positive response.
There are more students in the store now.
It seems that, just as An'an had guessed, we had been neglecting this all along.
Besides being busy with the shop, An'an has also been preparing a birthday gift for Xie Chuan. Since she forgot their wedding anniversary last time, An'an wants to make it up to him on his birthday this time.
An'an knew that Xie Chuan had always been particularly fond of sports cars. Although the family already had one, An'an felt that since Xie Chuan liked them, it would be fine to get another one.
The coffee shop has made a lot of money during this period, enough to buy a car without touching its savings.
But An'an doesn't know much about cars either. Sometimes at night, An'an would subtly ask Xie Chuan what kind of sports car he liked.
Xie Chuan told An An everything without reservation, unaware that his wife was preparing a surprise for him, just like the surprise he had prepared before.
An'an also chose one according to Xie Chuan's preferences, and he even asked the shop assistant to apply an orange film, as orange is Xie Chuan's lucky color.
Besides the car, An'an also ordered roses. Who says only men can give roses to women? Women can give roses to men too.
Everything is ready, and I'm just waiting for my birthday to arrive.
"Honey, how do you want to celebrate your birthday this year?"
"Shall we find a restaurant to eat at? Should we eat with Mom and Dad, or just the three of us?"
Xie Chuan asked casually.
"I'm fine with anything. It's up to you. You're the birthday person, so you get to decide."
"Then let's have the three of us. After all, it's not a big birthday. If we tell my parents, they'll definitely prepare a gift for me again."
Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu still value rituals. Although Xie Chuan didn't plan to tell them, they both remembered Xie Chuan's birthday.
"Xu Zijiang, Xie Chuan's birthday is in a few days. What should we buy for him?"
"What do you want to buy? Just transfer the money directly."
Xu Zijiang's approach was simple and direct.
"Are you stupid? He definitely won't accept money, and besides, it wouldn't be sincere. But I don't know what Xie Chuan likes. Why don't we ask An'an?"
Yu Jiu pondered, "I've given you so many gifts over the years, I really don't know what to give anymore."
"If you ask me, there's no need to ask. Just buy him a few gold bars. I've been buying them recently anyway. They hold their value and can be used as an investment."
Xu Zijiang is getting older now and loves to buy gold bars, hoarding dozens of kilograms at a time. People who don't know him might wonder what he's planning to do with so much.
"Don't be ridiculous. You're the only one who likes young people when it comes to gold bars. Who else would like these?"
Yu Jiu said disdainfully.
"You just don't understand the current market situation. Gold is so attractive right now."
"Just listen to me, you won't go wrong. Don't worry about it, and don't ask your daughter. Prepare a surprise for them."
Xu Zijiang had already made his decision, and Yu Jiu didn't say anything more.
But she still told An'an about buying the gold bars.
"What are you busy with, sweetheart?"
"I'm watching TV at home, what's wrong, Mom?"
"Isn't Xie Chuan'er's birthday in a couple of days? Your dad and I are thinking about what to buy for him?"
Yu Jiu laughed.
“Your dad is thinking of buying Xie Chuan some gold bars. He’s obsessed with gold now, and he’s always fiddling with these things. I’m just letting you know in advance.”
"You still remember Xie Chuan's birthday."
An An wasn't too surprised, after all, it wasn't the first time.
"Of course, Xie Chuan is also our son-in-law. We should treat him the same way we treat you."
Yu Jiu said with a smile that over the years they had treated Xie Chuan like their own son.
"As expected of my parents, they're just like me, very sentimental about rituals. To be honest, I also prepared a surprise for him. I bought him a sports car. Why don't you and Dad come over for dinner sometime?"
An An suggested.
"Okay, then send me the address later."
"No problem, see you in a couple of days."
The two of them agreed to this.
Xie Chuan had also booked a restaurant, the one he and An An often went to.
They both have a habit: once they've decided on a restaurant, they'll go there often and won't easily go to places they haven't been to before.
"Honey, I'll let you in on a little secret: Dad has prepared gold bars for you. Mom called me beforehand the other day and told me they'd be coming tonight."
An'an was afraid Xie Chuan would be too surprised, so she gave him a heads-up beforehand.
"Wow, this is way too expensive."
“My dad has definitely bought them all. You can just accept them. I heard he’s been working on this stuff lately.”
An'an is indifferent to everything.
"Okay, I'll buy my parents some other things after a while."
Xie Chuan often bought supplements and other gifts for the elderly couple.
He was a very competent son-in-law. Sometimes when Xu Zijiang asked him for a favor, he would get it done very quickly.
Happy birthday, honey.
Just as midnight struck, An'an whispered in Xie Chuan's ear, "Happy Birthday!"
"I love you, my wife. With you by my side in the new year, I'm full of energy."
"I've prepared a small gift for you. I'll reveal it to you during dinner tonight."
An An said mysteriously.
"Why are you being so mysterious?"
Xie Chuan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, you always prepare little surprises for me, so why can't I prepare something for you too?"
"Of course, I'll wait and see."
Xie Chuan was also looking forward to what An An would prepare for him. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he did not guess that it would be a sports car.
That evening, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang also came to the restaurant.
When Xie Si'an saw her maternal grandparents, she immediately ran over to them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you've arrived~~~~"
"Grandson, do you miss your grandpa?"
Xu Zijiang immediately picked up Xie Si'an.
"Of course I do, I think about my grandparents every day."
"That's what little Si'an said sweetly."
"The little baby speaks so sweetly."
"Mom and Dad, you're here."
"Happy birthday, Xie Chuan. This is a gift from your mother and me, please accept it."
After saying that, Xu Zijiang handed over a small box. This heavy box was really impressive!
Xie Chuan didn't refuse and generously accepted it.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom."
"Now it's time for my gift."
An'an said cheerfully as she put the car keys into a particularly exquisite box.
Xie Chuan had initially thought there would be a watch inside, because the box was particularly small.
"Open it and take a look, honey, you'll definitely like it."
