Yan Xiluo: ? ? ?
She had no idea what was going on...
She chatted with Anna in the car, and then got out when they arrived at the manor...
"Okay, okay, I won't ignore you anymore, sweetie~"
Yan Xiluo tiptoed and touched Lan Jingyan's hair.
"That's good."
Lan Jingyan smiled with satisfaction, then realized something was wrong. Her smile froze, and she looked slightly puzzled. Why did this feel like petting a dog?
"What's wrong? You were just smiling a moment ago?"
His mood changed so quickly, did he do something wrong?
Why do I feel like you're petting a dog?
Lan Jingyan couldn't help but blurt out her thoughts, giving her a reproachful look.
"Pfft~"
This remark amused Yan Xiluo and Ariana.
"What are you thinking? When you touched my head, I didn't even say it was like you were petting a dog!"
Yan Xiluo was about to protest; hadn't she been patted on the head enough times by him already?
"Cousin, do your aunt and uncle know how cute you are? Hahaha! You're like a little complaining woman!"
Ariana burst into laughter without holding back, completely disregarding her image; she genuinely found it hilarious!
"Alright, go on in."
Lan Jingyan realized that she had just lost her composure and coughed twice to cover up her embarrassing situation.
He opened the trunk and took all the gifts out.
"Could you give me some?"
Just as Yan Xiluo was about to take it, Lan Jingyan dodged it.
"Do I really need you to carry these things? Just walk quietly next to me."
These things were nothing to him; they were all relatively light. He didn't want his girl to get tired.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my cousin can handle it."
Ariana happily took Yan Xiluo's hand and strode towards the door.
Two rows of maids stood in front of the door, dressed in the standard maid outfits of F country. They greeted them warmly upon their arrival.
"Hello, Miss Anna. Hello, Young Master Jingyan."
The maids didn't know how to address Yan Xiluo, so they called out names they knew first, waiting for Ariana to introduce them.
"Let me introduce you all. This is my cousin's fiancée. You can call her Miss Luo Luo when you see her."
"Hello, Miss Luo Luo."
The maids greeted Yan Xiluo in unison, with utmost respect.
Hello.
She nodded in acknowledgment.
Then he followed Ariana inside.
The castle is very large, and even the inside is very spacious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could be used as a large parking lot.
Lan Yazhi and Alex had already returned to the castle and were sitting in the hall. Alex had a habit of reading the newspaper every day.
"Dad, Mom, look who's here!"
Ariana excitedly ran to Lan Yazhi and Alex's side, gesturing for them to look towards the left-hand doorway.
Alex put down his newspaper, and Lan Yazhi put down her handicrafts, and they both looked towards the door.
Lan Jingyan pulled Yan Xiluo along as they slowly walked over.
"Jingyan, you're here? Is this girl next to you Luoluo?"
Lan Yazhi noticed Yan Xiluo first, her gaze fixed on her. The girl was so beautiful, her demeanor elegant and dignified, even her walk was so graceful.
She and Alex had only seen one photo of Li Mufei with her in the family group chat. She was even more beautiful in person; she almost didn't recognize her.
"Yes, she is Yan Xiluo, the daughter the Yan family just brought back, and also my fiancée."
Then, she gently looked at Yan Xiluo and introduced her to Lan Yazhi and Alex.
"Luo Luo, this is my aunt, Lan Yazhi, and this is my uncle, Alex."
Lan Jingyan brought Yan Xiluo to Lan Yazhi and Alex.
"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle."
Lan Jingyan's aunt is indeed stunning at first glance, with delicate features and an air of nobility. The emerald she bought really suits her!
My uncle is also very elegant. He looks to be in his early thirties, not forty at all. He has a gentle and refined air about him.
"Luo Luo, come on, sit down and let's talk."
Lan Yazhi was also a warm-hearted person. She grabbed Yan Xiluo's hand and sat down on the sofa.
"Luo Luo, what would you like to eat? Your uncle will have the kitchen prepare the dishes."
Alex naturally wouldn't neglect him. In his heart, Lan Jingyan was like his son, and Yan Xiluo was his future daughter-in-law.
"Uncle, I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky. I'll eat anything."
Yes, foodies aren't picky; they'll eat anything that tastes good.
"Dad, let me cook for my cousin-in-law today! This is one of my return gifts to her."
Ariana always remembered what she had said that day.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you? Hehe, Luo Luo, Anna's cooking skills are not bad."
Alex was just worried that Anna's cooking wouldn't suit Yan Xiluo's taste. Her F-grade meals were okay, but her Z-grade meals were only so-so.
“Anna’s cooking skills are much better than mine. Mine are just so-so. Anna even got a certification.”
Anna loves cooking and food, so she specially learned many dishes.
"Oh? That's similar to me! I also got a certification because I love to eat."
Yan Xiluo's eyes lit up with a hint of surprise; she had finally found someone who shared her ideals!
"Then we are so destined to meet, cousin-in-law! We can study food together now!"
Ariana's eyes shone with no less light than Yan Xiluo's at that moment.
Lan Yazhi shook her head helplessly, her face full of doting affection.
"It would be better if she did the research with me."
Hearing Ariana say that, Lan Jingyan had a bad feeling! Was Luo Luo going to ignore me again? He can cook too!
"Tch! Aren't you just afraid I'll steal your cousin's wife? Fine, fine, you guys sit down, I'll go check the kitchen."
It was getting late, so she could start preparing dinner.
Lan Jingyan gave him a look, as if to say, "That's more like it."
Ariana immediately made a face at him and then ran away.
"Aunt, Uncle, this is our first time meeting, and Luo Luo specially picked out gifts for you."
He was determined to leave a better impression on Yan Xiluo.
"Oh, Luo Luo, you're already here, why bother preparing a gift! You're too kind. If anyone should be preparing a gift, it should be me preparing one for you."
She had no idea that Yan Xiluo was coming to her house today, and Ariana hadn't given her any advance notice, so she hadn't prepared anything.
“Your aunt is right. You can’t bring anything back after you get off the bus. We’re all family, so don’t be so formal.”
This niece-in-law is sensible and beautiful, a perfect match for Lan Jingyan, and he thinks highly of her.
"Okay, I understand, Aunt and Uncle. I won't be polite next time you come."
Seeing how kind the two elders were, she felt warm inside. She verbally agreed, but next time they came, she would still show them the proper etiquette, which was the most basic thing.
