Chapter 414 The time we've spent together is still too short.
Tan Xiyuan said nonchalantly, "My house is in such a good location. As long as the price is lowered a little, there will be plenty of people willing to buy it. Mom, don't worry, I'll handle it."
Seeing that Tan Xiyuan spoke with such confidence, Tan's mother didn't say anything more. However, she was very curious about Tan Xiyuan's boyfriend, so she asked, "When did you start dating him? Why have I never heard you mention him before? What does he do?"
Tan Xiyuan subconsciously looked at Xiao Shanjie, only to see him playing with the baby. The baby was kicking its little legs, waving its little hands, and responding to him with "ah ah ah." The scene was very heartwarming, and she couldn't help but smile. Her voice softened as she said, "He is an obstetrician and gynecologist. We just met."
Upon hearing Tan Xiyuan's reply, Xiao Shanjie looked up at her, his smile widening.
Does this mean he's acknowledging his family's feelings for him?
Aunt Tan was very satisfied with the profession of obstetrician and gynecologist, beaming from ear to ear. She instructed, "Bring him home for dinner another day, so your dad can meet him too. Oh, by the way, your sister-in-law is about to give birth. Which hospital is he in? Can you ask him to make some arrangements?"
Tan Xiyuan was speechless for a moment. "Let's talk about dinner another day. Your sister-in-law is still a long way from giving birth, what's the rush?"
Aunt Tan said with dissatisfaction, "That's your sister-in-law, how can I not be anxious? Since we know a doctor, isn't that more reassuring?"
Tan Xiyuan said impatiently, "Alright, I know, we'll talk about it later."
Aunt Tan asked worriedly, "Are you living with him now?"
Tan Xiyuan hummed in agreement: "I'm with him."
Aunt Tan asked, "When are you going back? But now that you have a boyfriend, why don't you stay? If you go to such a far place, it will be difficult for me to see you and the child."
Tan Xiyuan refused, saying, "No, I still have to go back."
Tan's mother asked worriedly, "What about your boyfriend? Will he come with you?"
Tan Xiyuan: "No, he still has work to do."
Aunt Tan asked, puzzled, "Since you're all together now, why are you leaving? Are you worried that Lu Feng will come looking for trouble again?"
That's one reason, but the biggest reason is that Tan Xiyuan doesn't want to rely on any man anymore; she wants to have her own career.
She said, "I guess so, Mom. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing."
Tan's mother sighed and said nothing more. Tan Xiyuan had always been opinionated, and once she made up her mind, she couldn't change it.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
Xiao Shanjie looked at Tan Xiyuan and asked, "Did your mother call?"
Tan Xiyuan hummed in agreement and replied, "Yes."
"She asked you to take me home for dinner?"
Xiao Shanjie, sitting next to him, also overheard some of it.
Tan Xiyuan glanced at him. "Do you want to go?"
I want to go!
But judging from Tan Xiyuan's expression, it seems she doesn't want to take him back?
He asked cautiously, "So, do you want to take me back?"
Tan Xiyuan felt it was too early to bring Xiao Shanjie home; she wanted to spend more time with him before making a decision.
Tan Xiyuan tilted her head, trying her best not to upset Xiao Shanjie with her words, "I feel that we don't know each other well enough right now, and I want to spend some time together before we talk about it."
"Of course."
Xiao Shanjie expressed his understanding, acknowledging that they had indeed known each other for too short a time.
Seeing that he wasn't upset, Tan Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did she have time to look around Xiao Shanjie's house.
Xiao Shanjie's house is in an upscale residential area in the city center, very close to the hospital where he works, just a few minutes' walk away.
