Chapter 192 Lin Feiyan's money comes from the wind.
Chen Ci smiled in response, then his gaze swept around and finally stopped in front of a shelf.
Following his gaze, I briefly saw a very ordinary music box, which looked unremarkable among the other music boxes.
These simple trinkets don't seem as valuable as the other treasures in the store.
It should be very popular with young boys and girls.
Probably not expecting them to buy it, the salesperson didn't even explain it to them, but Chen Ci still reached out and took the music box.
"This is it."
At first glance, the music box has a very simple design, with the same dark blue base and a transparent spherical enclosure containing artificial snowflakes and two puppets dancing with their hands clasped together.
The scenery was beautiful, and the two dolls looked somewhat familiar.
"Beauty and the Beast?" Jian Yan asked.
Chen Ci nodded, a smile playing on his lips: "Yes, Beauty and the Beast."
"I didn't expect you to buy something so girly."
Chen Ci paused for a moment, then a smile spread across his eyes and brows: "Don't you think Xiao Yezi and Boss are a lot like those two?"
Because she was waiting for his answer, Jian Yan's gaze fell on his face, and she truly caught his exceptionally bright smile.
The smile seemed to spread from the corners of his lips to the depths of his eyes, and his usually deep eyes suddenly sparkled with light.
Jian Yan paused for a moment: "Is that so?"
Chen Ci had already handed the music box to the staff for packaging, and then casually strolled around the store: "Yes, it looks like it," he said.
Jian Yan paused for a moment and followed Chen Ci's steps. In the end, the two of them stopped in front of the Lego brick shelf.
Jian Yan's eyes lit up, and she reached out to touch the Snow White series. Chen Ci looked at her and asked, "You like Lego too?"
“Yeah.” Jian Yan glanced at the price and laughed: “Forget it, it’s too expensive.”
"It's alright," Chen Ci said. "I'll buy it for you. Do you like Snow White?"
Jian Yan's heart skipped a beat: "You're buying it for me?"
“Yes.” Chen Ci reached out and took down a set of the Snow White series and handed it to Jian Yan: “There’s a promotion today, buy two and get 20% off.”
He then took a Harry Potter castle from the shelf.
Jian Yan felt a little sweet inside. She lowered her eyes, smiled secretly, and followed Chen Ci to the front desk to pay the bill.
...
At 11:30, Chen Ci's car drove into the house, and Ye Qingning, who had been eagerly waiting by the French windows, rushed out of the house and headed towards the parking lot to meet him.
As soon as Jian Yan got out of the car, she hugged her tightly: "Jian Yan, I missed you so much."
"It's my fault for not coming to see you sooner." Jian Yan's tone was tinged with regret.
"It's alright, Mr. Lin's injury has healed, and I'll be able to go back to school soon," Ye Qingning said cheerfully. "Then we can be together more often."
Jian Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Chen Ci had already taken the gifts from the trunk and was smiling at the two of them, who were being so affectionate. He said, "You two are being too oblivious to everyone else. Don't I deserve a welcome?"
Ye Qingning raised her hand to greet him, then casually complained, "You're already a familiar face in the family, do you need a welcome?"
Chen Ci thought for a moment and said, "That's true."
Just then, Lin Feiyan and Chen Chu came around from the backyard, and the three of them headed towards the gate together.
Jian Yan naturally had to greet him. She first nodded to Chen Chu, and then greeted Lin Feiyan: "Hello, Mr. Lin."
Lin Feiyan nodded, his gaze falling on Ye Qingning and the hand she was holding. He coughed lightly and raised his hand to Ye Qingning, gesturing, "Push me in."
Ye Qingning refused: "No, I want to take Jian Yan for a walk around our yard. You can have Chen Chu push you in."
Perhaps it was the phrase "our own yard" that pleased him, for Lin Feiyan's lips curled into a smile: "Go ahead, come over for dinner at 12 o'clock sharp."
"Okay." Ye Qingning said, then took Jian Yan's hand and went to the backyard, looking quite pleased with herself.
Lin Feiyan lowered his eyes and smiled: "Let's go inside."
At this moment, Chen Chu's gaze was fixed on Jian Yan's back. Her clothes and appearance today had deeply impressed him, and every move she made made him feel a youthful and vibrant energy.
Floral dress, half-bun hairstyle, exquisite makeup, and captivating eyes.
She was meant to be this way.
Lost in his own thoughts, Chen Chu didn't hear Lin Feiyan's words. Receiving no response, Lin Feiyan turned to look at him: "Chen Chu..."
Chen Chu then came to his senses: "What?"
Lin Feiyan's eyes darkened: "What are you looking at so intently?"
Chen Chu was still in a daze when Chen Ci quickly pushed Lin Feiyan's wheelchair over: "He must be surprised by Jian Yan's condition. Last time, he was the one who took her to the hospital."
"Is that so?" Lin Feiyan asked.
"Yes," Chen Chu replied, his heart pounding with anxiety. "I would never dare to overstep my bounds with Miss Ye."
Lin Feiyan scoffed coldly: "You dare?"
"I wouldn't dare," Chen Chu replied, a cold sweat breaking out on his body.
Even if you gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare!
To ease the tension, Chen Ci's gaze fell on Lin Feiyan's head, and he sighed, "Boss, nice hairstyle."
Lin Feiyan's tone softened as expected: "Yes, her cooking skills are not bad."
Chen Ci and Chen Chu exchanged a glance, both sensing a hint of relief in each other's eyes.
The three entered the living room, and Chen Ci tactfully changed the subject: "By the way, big brother, I bought you a Lego puzzle. I'll bring it to you later."
