Chapter 24: Meeting the parents, everyone should be nervous
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really? Because you are protecting me?"
There was a barely perceptible smile in his tone.
Xu Jialan paused, but did not deny it.
She lifted her hair awkwardly, changed the subject, and hummed, "Are you... nervous?"
Shen Xichuan looked at the traffic in front and turned the steering wheel.
He seemed to pause for two seconds before speaking, "Everyone should be nervous when meeting the parents, right?"
Meet the parents?
Xu Jialan suddenly thought that since they were married, she would also have to meet his parents.
Thinking of this, she fell silent.
When she was in high school, she met Shen Xichuan’s mother at a parent-teacher conference.
Even if it was just a brief meeting, she felt that she was a good mother.
Shen Xichuan has a very happy family.
Unlike her.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Shen Xichuan quickly turned his head to glance at her.
I saw that her face was slightly stiff and she looked a little absent-minded.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
Xu Jialan came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing."
She glanced at Shen Xichuan, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
The last time they went on a blind date, it was his mother and Mrs. Liang who brought them together.
So, does his family know about their marriage?
Before Xu Jialan could come up with an answer.
They have already arrived.
Shen Xichuan glanced outside and asked, "Is this the place?"
Xu Jialan came back to his senses and said, "Yes."
"good."
Shen Xichuan found a place to park the car.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Liang hurried out.
She immediately saw the man who walked around to the passenger seat and opened the car door.
After taking a quick look, the smile on his face deepened.
Xu Jialan raised his eyes and happened to meet Madam Liang's gaze.
She was startled for a moment, then curled her lips, "Master's Wife."
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and just saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, his eyes darkened slightly.
He restrained his expression slightly and turned sideways to look over.
Then I saw a woman coming out of the yard.
The man subconsciously stood up straight and greeted politely, "Mrs. Liang."
Mrs. Liang smiled and asked, "Are you Xiao Shen?"
Shen Xichuan nodded.
"It seems that your mother did not lie to me. You are really outstanding." Mrs. Liang said with a smile.
Shen Xichuan paused, thinking of what Xu Jialan said during their last blind date.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, "No, it's Lanlan who is better than me."
Xu Jialan, who was standing beside him, was slightly startled when he heard his name.
Hearing this, Mrs. Liang smiled even more. "Okay, don't stand here anymore. Let's go in and talk. Your master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Shen Xichuan smiled slightly and patted Xu Jialan’s back gently, “I’ll go get the things first, you accompany Madam Liang in first.”
Xu Jialan looked at him and said, "Let me help you."
The man lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Be good, go in first."
Mrs. Liang watched this scene with a smile.
Xu Jialan's cheeks felt a little hot, and he coughed lightly, "Then let's go in first."
"Well, go ahead."
Shen Xichuan opened the back door, picked up all the gift boxes inside, and walked in behind the two of them.
In the living room.
Mr. Liang had been sitting on the sofa for a long time, his ears always paying attention to the movements outside.
When he heard the footsteps, he immediately looked at the newspaper in his hand with an expressionless face.
Mrs. Liang saw his expression and smiled without saying anything.
She asked them to sit down, then went into the kitchen to pour them some water.
Shen Xichuan put the things in his hand on the coffee table.
Xu Jialan felt a little nervous when he saw that Mr. Liang had a serious expression.
She pursed her lips and called out, "Master."
Liang Lao turned his eyes to look at her and said lightly, "I'm coming."
His attitude made Xu Jialan a little nervous.
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and saw her expression, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he gently squeezed her hand to comfort her.
Xu Jialan was stunned.
The interaction between the two also caught the attention of Mr. Liang.
He calmly withdrew his gaze.
Shen Xichuan smiled politely and spoke softly, "Mr. Liang, I am Lan Lan's husband, Shen Xichuan. This is our first meeting, and I don't know what you like. I have heard of Mr. Liang's name before, so I prepared a book. I hope you like it."
He really took out a box from those gift boxes at random.
That box looks a bit old.
At first glance, I thought it was some trash found from some corner.
Mr. Liang glanced at it casually.
Really just a glance.
After seeing the box, he widened his eyes and said, "Isn't this..."
Shen Xichuan smiled faintly and handed the things over with both hands.
Before he could say anything, Mr. Liang threw away the newspaper in his hand and carefully took the box.
He opened it very gently, fearing that he might damage the things inside.
When Xu Jialan saw the box, he was also slightly stunned.
She looked at the man beside her in surprise.
The look in his eyes seemed to be asking how this thing came into his hands and how he could give it to Mr. Liang?
Shen Xichuan kept smiling and squeezed her hand.
He didn't say anything, just comforted her.
At this moment, Mrs. Liang also came out with tea.
Xu Jialan hurried over to help.
Just as her hand was about to touch the teapot, Shen Xichuan held her hand.
"Wait, I'll do it."
Xu Jialan was stunned and looked at him sideways.
A helpless look flashed across the man's eyes, "It's hot."
The water in the kettle is still steaming.
You can tell it’s just boiled.
Mrs. Liang still looked at the two of them with a smile, "Xiao Lan, just let Xiao Shen come."
Hearing this, Xu Jialan withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Shen Xichuan's movements look smooth and flowing, and quite pleasing to the eyes.
Xu Jialan sat aside, his eyes involuntarily falling on him.
Watch him skillfully make tea.
Mrs. Liang also noticed it and asked, "Xiao Shen actually knows tea ceremony?"
Shen Xichuan's mouth curled slightly, "I don't really know how to do it, but my family likes it, so I learned a little bit."
He spoke very modestly.
But Mrs. Liang is a tea lover, so how could she not see the trick?
Naturally, he also knew that Shen Xichuan was being modest.
She watched with a smile and a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Mrs. Liang looked at Mr. Liang beside her and was about to say something when she saw him excitedly flipping through the ancient book in his hands.
She was stunned for a few seconds, a little surprised, "You are not..."
When Mr. Liang heard her voice, he raised his head and smiled, completely changing his previous serious expression.
"This is a gift from Xiao Shen."
Xu Jialan's expression paused, "..."
Shen Xichuan kept smiling, “Does Mr. Liang still like it?”
Liang Lao smiled broadly, "I like it, I like it very much."
He waved his hand and said, "Since you are married to Xiao Lan, just follow Xiao Lan and call me Master."
Shen Xichuan obeyed his orders, "Master."
Xu Jialan: "..."
