Chapter 271 Promised
They can concentrate on work. They stay together at work and after work. No matter what event they attend, Xiao Jinlin always brings Chen Xinyue with him. From the initial awkwardness of getting along to the naturalness later, everything seems to be a natural outcome.
Except for the employees of SY Company, everyone outside assumed that the two were a couple.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. Ever since the commotion at the Spring Festival, everything at the Xiao family had completely quieted down. Even Mu Qinglian, who loved to call Xiao Jinlin from time to time, reduced the frequency of contact.
Xiao Jinlin was happy to live a quiet life in the courtyard. When he was not working, he could grow vegetables and flowers with Chen Xinyue.
In order to entertain Chen Xinyue, Xiao Jinlin specially bought a snow-white puppy for her.
With the puppy, the two of them interact more frequently than usual, and the door that was supposed to open on both sides seems to have never been closed since it was installed.
On the weekend, Chen Xinyue was playing with the dog when Xiao Jinlin suddenly appeared. He walked in and lay down on the sofa, saying lazily, "Grandma asked us to come over for dinner tonight. I mean, let Lao Fang pick up grandpa and grandma over here. What do you think?"
"No problem with me!" Chen Xinyue said, and then asked naturally, "Should it be more formal or more casual? What do you need to prepare?"
Xiao Jinlin curled his lips and shook his head, "No need to prepare anything, this is good."
Chen Xinyue didn't think much about it. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao arrived at the courtyard under the escort of the driver.
The old couple looked around the yard without saying anything. After looking around, they slowly said, "Is this the newly bought courtyard house? It's decorated quite well."
The old couple were surprised enough that their grandson would live in a courtyard house instead of a nice villa. They thought he would not live there for long, but they didn't expect him to live there for more than half a year.
Today is Xiao Jinlin's birthday. The couple originally wanted to take the opportunity to invite them back to the old house for a meal to ease the relationship with the eldest brother's family, but their grandson actually invited them to come over for dinner.
Driven by curiosity, the two came anyway.
Seeing the open door by the wall, Madam Xiao was a little confused, "What is that place over there?"
As soon as you enter this courtyard, you can see the whole thing at a glance. Could it be that my grandson bought two courtyards and connected them together?
Xiao Jinlin grinned and led them over happily, "Grandma, that's Xinyue's house, we live next door."
Madam Xiao suddenly realized what was going on, and her face was wrinkled with joy. She joked with Mr. Xiao, "Look, you were worried that Jinlin couldn't find a wife before, but he is much better at finding a wife than you!"
Mr. Xiao's serious face showed a little more smile, and he asked in a gentle voice: "Is the house Xinyue's?"
Xiao Jinlin nodded, "Her parents bought it when she was in college. Each of her brothers and sisters got a set. It was renovated last year and they moved in from the company this year. In order to make her commute more convenient, I bought this courtyard house."
"You kid," Mr. Xiao muttered.
The three of them walked through the small door and saw Chen Xinyue playing with the dog. In the clean and tidy yard, the man and the dog were running and jumping, looking full of energy.
When people get older, they like this kind of bright and lively girls.
Xiao Jinlin called out, and Chen Xinyue suddenly looked up and smiled brightly at the two elders, "Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao, hello."
"Okay, okay, Xinyue, you don't mind us visiting your house, do you?" Old Madam Xiao smiled kindly.
Chen Xinyue quickly shook her head, invited them to go into the living room to rest, and then went to the kitchen to get tea-making tools.
"The most popular tea in my family is oolong tea. I don't know if my grandparents like it." She fiddled with the tea as she spoke, with an elegant posture. It was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort and studied it seriously, and she was an expert.
Mr. Xiao was amazed, "You know how to make tea?"
Chen Xinyue nodded honestly, "My grandpa and dad both like to drink tea. I have been learning piano and dance in an institution since I was a child. My teacher is also an expert. She taught me. Every time I came back from learning, I would show off in front of my grandpa and dad. They were very supportive, so I studied harder.
I learned a lot of weird things without realizing it. "
Madam Xiao laughed, "These are not weird things. They are good for self-cultivation! By the way, Xinyue, when will your parents come to the capital? If they come, please let us know so that we can have a meal together."
Chen Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinlin. Seeing his expectant expression, she immediately lowered her eyelids.
Xiao Jinlin was visibly disappointed, and was about to help her out when he heard Chen Xinyue say obediently, "Okay! They should come to see me in October or November."
Madam Xiao was overjoyed, "That's great!"
The one who was even happier than the old couple was Xiao Jinlin. If his grandparents were not still around, he would have wanted to rush to Chen Xinyue and ask her if she accepted him.
The result of not being able to ask him right away was that this guy was like he had taken stimulants. During the meal, he kept picking up food for Grandpa, Grandma and Chen Xinyue, and he talked more frequently than before.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see his happiness.
Seeing that her grandson was so happy, Old Madam Xiao didn't want to spoil his mood, so she took out the gift she had prepared earlier and said, "I wish my grandson a happy birthday, good health, peace and safety, and all his wishes come true."
"Grandma." Xiao Jinlin was moved. He took the gift carefully and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
Mr. Xiao was very direct and just gave a big red envelope and was done with it.
Xiao Jinlin accepted their gifts and was very happy.
Madam Xiao was also happy to see this, and she stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting dark, we should go back. When you have time, take Xinyue back to sit with us and have dinner with us."
"Okay!" Xiao Jinlin took Chen Xinyue to see them out.
After the car drove away, Xiao Jinlin turned around and looked at Chen Xinyue expectantly.
Chen Xinyue's cheeks became hot when he looked at her, and she looked away, "What are you looking at!"
"Today is my birthday." Xiao Jinlin emphasized every word.
Chen Xinyue nodded, "I know! You want a gift, right?"
Xiao Jinlin's eyes lit up, "Are you prepared?"
Chen Xinyue shook her head.
Xiao Jinlin was a little disappointed.
Chen Xinyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like that. "Although I didn't prepare a real gift, I accept your confession. This gift is sincere enough, isn't it?"
Xiao Jinlin was overjoyed and hugged Chen Xinyue, "Are you serious? You agree to be my girlfriend?"
Chen Xinyue nodded in fear, "Really, really, put me down quickly!"
There are people coming and going, and if you are seen, you will definitely be pointed at.
Xiao Jinlin didn't care at all. He now wished that everyone knew that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Because he was so happy, Chen Xinyue was carried home by him.
That night, Xiao Jinlin called Tang Ming like a peacock spreading its feathers.
Tang Ming was having a meal when he received a call from his boss. He thought there was an impromptu event and he hurried to leave.
Then Xiao Jinlin said, "From now on, Xinyue is officially my girlfriend and the person I will marry in the future!"
Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh" expressionlessly, "Congratulations, boss. Congratulations, boss. May I ask if you have any other instructions? Do you need me to announce this news to the public?"
