"Nanxing, this afternoon I'm going to my aunt's house with Luoluo and Ayan. I was thinking of taking you along for a meal. What do you think?"
When he first decided to visit Yan Chuxiao at the Su family's house, he thought he should bring Chen Nanxing along, as he didn't want to leave her alone in the villa.
Besides, it's just going back together for a meal, nothing more.
"Oh? Isn't this inappropriate? We've only just started dating..."
She'd only been dating for a few days and she was already going home to meet Yan Chenyu's parents? That's moving way too fast! She'd never even imagined it…
She's quite socially awkward around older people, unlike with her peers.
Maybe it's a childhood trauma; during holidays, they ask about my grades, and now that I'm working, they start asking about my salary?
"My aunt is a very nice person, gentle and kind, so you don't need to be too nervous."
Yan Chuxiao is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she is easy to talk to everyone.
"Really?"
Chen Nanxing was skeptical. She was still worried that something unpleasant might happen during their first meeting, as she was really not good at dealing with elders...
"Of course, she would be so happy if she knew I had such a great girlfriend. We're already in F City, so let's go back for a casual meal and pay her a visit. After all, I'm already here, and I still have to go see my aunt."
Yan Chenyu put his arm around Chen Nanxing's slender waist to comfort her, knowing her worries and concerns.
Having come to F City, he should pay a visit; he couldn't be impolite. Besides, he hadn't seen Yan Chuxiao for quite some time.
He also wanted to see how his aunt was doing in the Su family, and whether she was still doing well as before.
"But I'm a little nervous... I haven't gone home with anyone to meet their parents yet."
She'd never even gone home with a female friend before... Now, she's going to her aunt's house with her boyfriend. It's an elder's house, after all, and she's afraid she'll be so nervous she'll stutter...
"It's okay, I'm here. I'll be by your side the whole time. Besides, I have a little cousin there, she's pretty cool, so you won't feel awkward. And Luo Luo will be there too. This is Luo Luo's first time meeting her aunt, she'll be more nervous than you, so just relax."
Thinking of Su Mengying, Yan Chenyu couldn't help but smile. Su Mengying was the youngest sister in the family, quirky and clever, and especially endearing.
"Okay, but I don't have any suitable clothes..."
Chen Nanxing was finally persuaded. She looked down at her clothes and then recalled the clothes in her closet... No, it wasn't quite right. She didn't have any more dignified and elegant clothes. She wanted to make a good impression when meeting her elders for the first time.
"Then I'll go out with you to buy some things. We still have plenty of time, and we can also bring some gifts for Auntie."
Yan Chenyu hadn't prepared a gift for the Su family yet, and had originally planned to go out and choose one later.
"Okay, I'll go change my shoes."
Chen Nanxing hurriedly ran into the room.

Yan Xiluo was showing signs of waking up, feeling as if she were being wrapped around something, a warm sensation. Huh? Why could she feel a pulse?
She suddenly opened her eyes. Had someone broken into the villa? Hmm? It smelled familiar.
Lan Jingyan is back? Yan Xiluo turned around in surprise. It was true! Yan Xiluo quickly snuggled closer to him. He was sleeping so soundly... he must not have slept well on the plane.
Should she not disturb him? Yan Xiluo tried to move away quietly, but Lan Jingyan noticed that the person in his arms had woken up and hugged her even tighter.
Where are you going, baby?
Lan Jingyan's voice was languid, and her eyes were not even open; she looked very sleepy.
"Hmm... I was afraid of disturbing you, so I remembered."
Yan Xiluo stayed obediently in his arms and didn't move around anymore.
"I'm awake now, let me hug you again."
Lan Jingyan then opened his eyes, and you could see that his eyes were still bloodshot.
This wasn't because he didn't get enough rest on the plane; rather, once he arrived abroad, he was probably rushing to handle things without even adjusting to the time difference.
Now they're rushing back...
"Oh well……"
Yan Xiluo felt sorry for him and wanted him to sleep a little longer.
"I came back early, how can my baby make it up to me?"
Lan Jingyan cupped her face in his hands; she looked beautiful no matter how he looked at her, and he liked her more and more the more he looked at her.
"So how do you want me to make it up to you?"
Yan Xiluo was a little confused. He'd just woken up after coming back and was already demanding compensation?
"How about you repay my love with your body? To ease my longing?"
Lan Jingyan's hands were already restlessly roaming over her body...
"You filthy scoundrel! You're so sleepy and you're still thinking about that..."
Yan Xiluo blushed and turned his head away with her hand.
Seeing you has given me a full boost...
Lan Jingyan immediately turned around, saying something in a roguish tone, before pulling the blanket over his head...

"Lu Hua, how long are you planning to stay this time? Don't let us have a short time together and then run back!"
Li Shuwen affectionately linked arms with Yi Luhua, her face filled with excitement.
"Hehe, I'm staying a little longer this time because I want to see my goddaughter!"
Yi Luhua was also very happy as the two of them strolled around the women's clothing section of the Lantian Shopping Mall.
"Luo Luo told me you had clothes custom-made by her?"
Two days ago, Yan Xiluo told Li Shuwen about Catherine asking her to customize clothes, and even asked her about her relationship with Catherine.
"Yes, my goddaughter is so capable! Of course I have to patronize her business! Besides, I'd love to wear the clothes she made for me!"
Yi Luhua is Catherine's Chinese name, and she is Li Shuwen's childhood friend and best friend.
"Oh dear, there's no need for you to specially ask her to customize something. My Luoluo is very filial and sensible; she prepared gifts for all of us. Since you're her godmother, she'll prepare something too. It's just that you've been too busy before, and I haven't had a chance to tell her about this important person you are!"
This is also what Yan Xiluo said: if she had known that Catherine was her best friend, she wouldn't have charged the customization fee and would have just sent it to her directly.
She won't accept a refund now, so I'll just give her a discount and not let her pay the remaining balance.
"Hey! Let's keep things separate! I bought what I bought, and she gave what she gave as a gift. My goddaughter has had a tough time all these years! She's been living away from home for so long, and now that she's finally back, am I, as her godmother, supposed to take advantage of her?"
Yi Luhua joked with Li Shuwen, and then they entered Qingcheng together.
"Hehe, you know, right? This skincare store we're going into also belongs to your goddaughter. She's the founder of Qingcheng."
Yi Luhua dragged her into the store, not Li Shuwen. When they went shopping, they would just wander around and buy whatever they found that suited them.
"No way! My goddaughter is that amazing? I guess I don't know her well enough. Being a fashion designer like Qianmeng is already surprising enough! How can she be so capable at such a young age? Did she suffer a lot in the past? Otherwise, why would she work so hard to build her career?"
Yi Luhua was puzzled. Could it be that he had treated her badly at home before?
