Chapter 208 Staying with Him Forever
Both the head of the Shen family and Mrs. Shen were very surprised.
"Lanlan, can you also write calligraphy?"
Xu Jialan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, "I know a little bit. I would practice casually when I had nothing to do during the holidays."
She spoke very modestly.
But An Yuening had seen the words she wrote and knew her ability.
"Mom, isn't writing Spring Festival couplets a family tradition? Let Lanlan try it too."
An Yuening pushed Xu Jialan.
Here, Madam Shen had someone take away the Spring Festival couplets that Shen Yankai had just written and put new Spring Festival couplet paper on them.
"Come on, Lanlan, write whatever you want. We are all family, don't be afraid."
Xu Jialan nodded and walked over.
The brushstrokes are still smooth and flowing.
The movements appear gentle, but the words written are vigorous and powerful.
A hint of admiration flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Shen and the others.
"Good words, good words."
Shen Yankai was also a little surprised.
Why hasn’t he heard Shen Xichuan say that his wife can write?
An Yuening raised her chin proudly. "Am I right? Lanlan writes better than you and is more handsome than you."
Shen Yankai: “…”
Okay, he is indeed not as handsome as others.
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, “It seems that you and your wife can compete with each other when you have time in the future.”
Xu Jialan put down his pen and his brows softened.
She knew that Shen Xichuan’s handwriting was good.
"He... probably doesn't know I can write calligraphy yet."
Hearing this, Madam Shen and others were surprised.
"Don't you know, Ogawa?"
Xu Jialan shook his head, "You probably don't know, I never told you."
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that today we are the first to see your calligraphy."
An Yuening took Shen Yankai’s phone, turned on the camera, and took a picture of the Spring Festival couplets on the table.
Shen Yankai watched her movements, "What do you want to do?"
An Yuening skillfully opened WeChat, found Shen Xichuan's dialog box, then selected the photo just now and sent it.
"What else could it be? Just showing off to your brother."
She also imitated Shen Yankai's tone and typed, "Your wife's handwriting is beautiful, right? We saw it before you."
Shen Yankai took in the entire scene: "..."
His wife is really awesome.
Xu Jialan also saw it, "..."
Actually, it is not necessary.
…
When Shen Xichuan received the news, it was already afternoon.
He had just returned from a police call, changed his clothes, turned on his phone, and saw the message from Shen Yankai.
The man leaned against the wall, squinted his eyes, clicked on the photo and enlarged it.
The words in the photo caught his eye.
There was a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, his wife was like a treasure, always giving him unexpected surprises at any time.
Shen Xichuan was too lazy to reply to Shen Yankai, so he exited the dialog box and clicked on the pinned message.
Not long ago, Xu Jialan sent him a message asking if he was done with his work.
The man curled his lips and pressed the voice button, "I never thought my wife would be so talented."
When Xu Jialan saw his message, he couldn't suppress his surprise.
When she clicked on the voice message and listened to it, the tips of her ears turned red.
There was a faint smile in the familiar low voice.
She couldn't help blushing just by listening.
Xu Jialan pursed her lips and lowered her head to type, "Mom wants to ask you, when will you come back for the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"Is it just Mom asking?" he replied.
Xu Jialan: "...and me."
After Shen Xichuan packed up his things, he walked quickly to the parking lot and pressed the voice button, “Come back now and wait for me.”
Xu Jialan squinted his eyes and said, "Okay."
…
When Mrs. Shen learned that Shen Xichuan was about to return, she ordered the housekeeper to ask the kitchen to speed up the preparation of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Xu Jialan did not stay upstairs anymore, but sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.
When Shen Xichuan just got home, he saw several women in their family gathered together to chat.
He noticed at a glance that his little girl's eyes were blinking, as if she had heard something surprising. She looked surprised and very cute.
The man curled his lips and strode in.
The butler took his coat and greeted him respectfully, "Second Young Master."
Hearing the noise, everyone looked over.
Xu Jialan was surprised and subconsciously stood up and walked a few steps towards him, and he held her hand.
"You're back?"
Shen Xichuan hummed and squeezed her hand, “Did you miss me?”
Xu Jialan didn't expect that he would ask in front of so many people at home. His ears were burning and he felt a little embarrassed.
But when she met his deep eyes, she subconsciously said the answer in her heart and nodded, "I thought about it."
The man smiled with satisfaction and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Shen Yankai, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene.
Is this still his beautiful brother?
Why does it look like a peacock spreading its tail?
She also uses her beauty to seduce people into telling her the answers she wants to hear.
Tsk.
Seeing that everyone had returned, the head of the Shen family asked the housekeeper to prepare dinner.
Everyone took their seats one by one.
Servants carrying dishes came in one after another.
His hands carefully placed down the exquisite delicacies one after another.
It can be seen that this New Year's Eve dinner has been prepared for a long time.
After serving the dishes, the butler waved his hand and asked the servants to leave.
Then he bowed respectfully and left.
As the head of the family, Patriarch Shen picked up the red wine glass and said, "Come on, this New Year's Eve, Yan Kai and Xiao Chuan are both married, and we have two new members in our family, Ning Ning and Lan Lan. I hope that in the new year, everyone will be safe and healthy."
Mrs. Shen also spoke, “Yes, our family has everything we need, we just hope that the children can be safe and healthy.”
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, we will."
Shen Yankai also raised his glass, “I also hope that my parents can be safe and healthy and live a long life.”
An Yuening nodded and said, "Yes."
Under the table, Shen Xichuan held Xu Jialan's hand tightly, and with the other hand he casually raised his wine glass, with a smile on his lips, "May everyone be safe and sound in the new year, and may the people I love be safe and happy year after year."
Stay with him forever.
Xu Jialan held his hand tightly and said, "May there be no more disasters in the world, no more suffering for people, and may... the people I love be safe and healthy forever."
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Everyone just picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites.
Several bells rang simultaneously in the restaurant.
The ringtone was sharp and piercing, carrying a bad feeling.
Shen Xichuan, Xu Jialan, and An Yuening took out their mobile phones at the same time and answered the call.
Madam Shen put down her chopsticks and looked at the head of the Shen family helplessly.
Patriarch Shen held her hand tightly and calmed her down.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.
Several people unexpectedly said in unison, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
