Yan Xiluo chuckled softly, her eyes narrowing.
"Okay, Mom, that's all for now!"
Yan Xiluo gently pushed open the office door and returned to her seat.
"Okay, baby, Mommy is going to prepare the ingredients now."
Li Shuwen had already arrived in the kitchen, ready to get to work.
See you tonight.
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Xiluo sent a message to Lan Jingyan.
She wasn't sure if he was busy at that moment, so she didn't call him directly.
"My parents asked me to bring you home for dinner. Are you free to come tonight?"
"Mom said you absolutely have to come, but it's okay if you're not available."
Yan Xiluo typed very quickly and sent him two messages in a row.
He then put his phone aside and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.
My fingertips had barely tapped twice when a message came in from the other end.
"My parents-in-law invited me home for dinner, and of course I couldn't refuse; I was more than happy to accept."
"I'll pick you up from your company in a bit."
"I'll be done soon."
What Yan Xiluo didn't know was that Lan Jingyan was currently negotiating a collaboration with a business partner.
I knew it was her as soon as I saw the screen light up, so I had to reply to her message about her baby.
Even business partners found Lan Jingyan's appearance novel.
In the past, when discussing cooperation, Lan Jingyan would not only not look at her phone, but she would also not leave it blatantly on the table.
He saw through it but didn't say anything, only showing some curiosity about who the person on the other side was.
How could this aloof and abstinent male god possess such tenderness?
He must be right; Lan Jingyan's brows were filled with gentleness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
If Lan Jingyan is in a good mood, then their cooperation negotiations will only go more smoothly.
Sure enough, after a few casual words, the two finalized the contract.
The other party is an old acquaintance and a trustworthy partner, so there's no need to say much more, let alone any other polite words.
Lan Jingyan's true thoughts right now are: to finish get off work as soon as possible and get off work early.
If his father-in-law and mother-in-law summon him, he'd better hurry up.
"Mr. Lan, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
After Xie Xun saw the person off, Lan Jingyan casually tidied up her desk and then went to the opposite bedroom to change into a more suitable outfit for meeting the parents.
His in-laws didn't like him wearing suits because they thought he looked too formal; they preferred him in casual clothes, where he looked sunny and handsome.
He took a shower, washed his hair, and dried it. His neat, tousled hair made him look more energetic.
The big wolfhound instantly turned into a little puppy.
He had already asked Xie Xun to prepare a gift for him beforehand, as he couldn't go to his parents-in-law's house empty-handed.
Every time he went, he thought the more he took, the better; he was truly devoted to Yan Xiluo.
Looking at the nearly empty bottle of perfume he used, it seems I'll have to ask his baby for a new one tonight.
Lan Jingyan was wearing a light brown mid-length trench coat outside. The weather was a bit chilly in the evening, so he had to be careful.
Otherwise, the baby doctor will nag.
Lan Jingyan looked at herself in the mirror for a long time before finally taking her car keys and leaving, satisfied.
As soon as he parked his car, he saw Yan Xiluo standing at the company entrance waiting for him.
Yan Xiluo was in a good mood when she saw Lan Jingyan's car. Because she was at the company, she resisted the urge to jump and hop to the car.
"Baby, why are you waiting for me downstairs so early?"
Lan Jingyan was afraid that Yan Xiluo would come down early, so he specially announced that he would be five minutes late.
He didn't want Yan Xiluo to wait for him; he should be the one waiting.
"Because I've already finished my work, and I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway."
Yan Xiluo opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat with practiced ease, and fastened her seatbelt with perfect ease.
The first thing she does after getting in the car and closing the door is to fasten her seatbelt; she has a very strong sense of safety.
Life is only once, so cherish it.
"Let me shake your hand, so I can check if it's gotten cold from the wind."
Autumn in City A is already quite cool, at least cooler than in the southern regions of City H.
It was slightly chilly if she wasn't wearing enough clothes, which is why Lan Jingyan was worried that Yan Xiluo would get cold, as the wind was quite strong today.
Yan Xiluo obediently listened and stretched out both of her hands for him to hold and examine.
I have to admit, Lan Jingyan's hands were so warm, while hers were noticeably a little cold.
She could feel her hands suddenly warming up.
"Next time, wait inside instead of standing outside in the wind like an idiot."
"Never mind, I'll tell you when I get there next time. I'll wait for you."
Lan Jingyan had no idea how long this silly girl had been waiting outside for her hands to get so cold.
"It's alright, that's just how I am, my hands get cold easily when I'm exposed to wind."
"Actually, I don't feel cold. Let's drive faster, I want to eat my mom's big chicken leg."
Yan Xiluo withdrew her hand and, to avoid worrying him, consciously put her hand into her pocket.
"Little foodie, buckle up!"
Lan Jingyan started the car, skillfully turned the steering wheel, and drove away.
On the other side
Leng Mingye parked the car in a parking space near the shopping mall.
"Ranran, I need to prepare some things for your home so that I won't be impolite."
"Would you like to come down with me?"
Leng Mingye unbuckled his seatbelt, naturally wanting Yan Yinran to go inside with him.
He didn't want to leave her in the car; he was worried after what had just happened.
"Okay, it's too stuffy in the car, it'll be good to walk around."
Yan Yinran unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out of the car with him.
The two arrived at a nutrition store, and Leng Mingye knew exactly what he wanted to buy to bring to the Yan family.
Once inside the store, simply tell the clerk what you want to buy, and they will immediately pack it up for you.
Coming down from the third floor to the second floor, Yan Yinran was attracted by the plush toys in a jewelry store.
I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Ranran, you like it? Then let's go take a look."
Leng Mingye's mind was entirely focused on her, so he naturally noticed what she was paying attention to.
"No, I'll be too late getting back."
Yan Yinran declined, fearing that Leng Mingye would buy it for her.
"Go ahead, I know you'll like it."
Leng Mingye naturally took her hand, and she clearly liked it very much.
Yan Yinran felt a little nervous as he held her hand; her heart was pounding.
She already said she didn't need it... This man...
Which one do you like?
To Leng Mingye, all these fluffy dolls were the same; they all looked pretty much the same.
"The blue one."
Yan Yinran stood on tiptoe and pointed to the highest position on the shelf, where a light blue Stitch was lying.
Leng Mingye took it and put it into Yan Yinran's hand.
"Is there anything else you like?"
Leng Mingye looked around and recognized all the colors of the plush dolls, except for their names.
Pink, purple, blue, yellow, white...
No, there isn't.
Yan Yinran hugged the light blue Stitch toy with satisfaction and shook her head.
"Let's go to the front desk to pay."
Leng Mingye gently took her hand, and Yan Yinran did not refuse.
