Chapter 242 The First Official Visit to the Shen Family
"Grandpa has been talking about meeting his grandson's wife for a long time, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you weren't ready.
Now that we have obtained the marriage certificate, if I don’t take you back, I’m afraid he will come to me on his own initiative.
If he knew you were going back, he would be very happy. As for how he prepared, that was his business. You don't have to worry about anything. Just follow me back when the time comes." Shen Jingzhou said lightly.
"Then what gift should I bring when I visit your house for the first time? What does grandpa like?" It would be too impolite and uneducated to go empty-handed on the first formal visit, but Ji Nanyue didn't know what to buy, so she asked Shen Jingzhou for his opinion.
"Go back to your own home, why bring any gifts? No." Shen Jingzhou refused.
"After all, this is my first formal visit to him. It would be embarrassing to go empty-handed. I can leave it alone in the future, but I must bring it this time." Ji Nanyue insisted.
If she went empty-handed, she would really feel embarrassed. Even though she and Chen Jingzhou had already obtained a marriage certificate, she still had to follow the proper etiquette.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but I'll go and prepare it." Chen Jingzhou was reluctant to let her go buy gifts.
"When you go to buy gifts, tell me and I'll go with you."
"It's just a gift, there's no need to go to so many people."
Chen Jingzhou had no intention of going by himself. He never cared about things like giving gifts. He always arranged for his subordinates to prepare.
"Of course I have to go. I also have to pay." Ji Nanyue said solemnly.
"We are a family now. It doesn't matter who pays. Don't worry about it."
"That won't work. You paid for it so it's yours to buy it. I'm going there empty-handed anyway." Ji Nanyue protested.
"What's yours and mine? Why do you have to distinguish them so clearly? Besides, my money will be yours from now on. Why should we distinguish between each other?"
"This time the situation is special, I have to pay, otherwise I won't go."
"Okay, okay, you pay then, is that okay?" Shen Jingzhou could only give in.

Saturday soon arrived and Ji Nanyue dressed up specially.
Although this was not her first time to visit Shen Jingzhou's house, Ji Nanyue was still a little nervous.
The first time she went there, she was drunk and didn’t know anything, so she was taken back by Shen Yishu.
The second time she went was because Shen Yishu was locked up by Shen Jingzhou, so she went to see Shen Yishu. She didn't think much about it at the time, she just wanted to see her, so she went directly.
This time when she went again, her identity was different. Before, she was just a good friend of Shen Yishu, but this time she went as the future granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family.
Ji Nanyue knew that a wealthy family like theirs must be more particular than an ordinary family, so they had to pay attention to many things and must not embarrass themselves.
"Honey, do you think I'm dressed like this, is it appropriate for me to go to your house?" Ji Nanyue got ready and came to Shen Jingzhou and asked.
Ji Nanyue put on some light makeup today. Her skin was originally very fair, and after putting on makeup, her complexion looked even better.
The fair skin and the pair of lively big eyes made her look like a delicious peach. Shen Jingzhou stared at her and he wanted to take a bite.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Ji Nanyue poked him with her finger and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
Shen Jingzhou came back to his senses. He took a look at the clothes on Ji Nanyan and said with a smile: "My wife is beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears."
"That means the clothes don't look good. Then I'll go change into another one." When Ji Nanyue heard him only say that she looked good and didn't comment on her outfit, she thought the clothes she chose today were not good-looking.
"No need to change, this dress looks great and suits your temperament very well. It makes you look taller." Shen Jingzhou finally commented on her outfit.
"Really don't need to change?"
When meeting an elder for the first time, one must dress modestly and elegantly, so the clothes Ji Nanyue chose today are of a more ladylike style. No matter what, leaving a good impression on the elder is the most important thing.
"Grandpa doesn't have so many requirements. As long as you like it, don't worry about other people's opinions."
Just because of the child in Ji Nanyue's belly, she can walk around the Shen family as she pleases. If anyone dares to say a bad word about her, Old Man Shen will probably be the first one to be unhappy. Therefore, no matter how she dresses, it is not excessive.
"Okay then, just wear this one and don't change."
Ji Nanyue chose a bag that matched her clothes today and went out with Shen Jingzhou.
The closer they got to the Shen family's old house, the more nervous Ji Nanyan became.
Normally, when two people are in love, they should meet each other's parents first after confirming their relationship. But she got engaged as the first step. Now that she has obtained the marriage certificate, she is meeting her parents only. It feels weird.
Seeing that she was silent all the way, Shen Jingzhou took her hand and asked: "What are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?"
As soon as he pulled Ji Nanyan's hand over, he felt her palms were sticky and sweaty. "Why are your palms sweaty? Is it too hot in the car?"
"Not hot?" Ji Nanyue said as she pulled her hand away from his palm.
"Then why do you sweat?"
"I'm a little nervous." Whenever Ji Nanyue got nervous, her palms would sweat involuntarily.
"I'm here, don't be nervous. That will be your home from now on. You can go back whenever you want." Chen Jingzhou comforted her.
About twenty minutes later, we finally arrived at the Shen family's old house.
As soon as he got out of the car, Shen Jingzhou held Ji Nanyue's hand tightly, not willing to let go for a moment.
With him by her side, Ji Nanyan felt a little more at ease, and she followed Shen Jingzhou into the yard.
From a distance, I could see Mr. Shen walking back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back.
It was obvious that the old man couldn't stay in the house anymore, so he came out to wait for them.
"Grandpa, we're back." Chen Jingzhou walked up to Ji Nanyue holding her hand and said.
"Hello, Grandpa." Ji Nanyue also greeted him.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. Yanyan, you must be tired, come in quickly." Old Master Shen looked at Ji Nanyue and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"I'm not tired, grandpa." Ji Nanyue said.
When she got to the house, Ji Nanyue didn't see anyone else except the servants. It seemed that Shen Jingzhou's parents had not returned.
Ji Nanyue was still worried on the way. What if all his relatives were there? Wouldn't she have to greet them all?
Now it’s all right, only Mr. Shen is here, and even Shen Yishu doesn’t seem to be at home, so she is finally relieved.
"Yan Yan, come and sit down." Mr. Shen said as he asked the servants to bring a lot of delicious food.
