"While saying that, Shangguan Xi looked up at Cao Xiaomei and then nodded, saying: ’Okay, I got it, I’ll be careful.’
Ni Yang continued, ’Sister Xiaoxi, if anything happens that you can’t resolve, remember to call us immediately.’
’Don’t worry, I know.’
After a while, Shangguan Xu and Adelle came back.
Adelle walked in front at ease, while Shangguan Xu followed behind without any complaints, carrying lots of bags.
’Sister Xiaoxi!’ Adelle greeted Shangguan Xi with a smile.
’Adelle.’ Shangguan Xi hugged Adelle.
Afterward, Shangguan Xi continued to introduce Shangguan Xu and Adelle to Cao Xiaomei.
’Xiaomei, this is my brother, Shangguan Xu, and this is my third sister, Shangguan Xu. Brother, Adelle, this is Cao Xiaomei.’
Shangguan Xu nodded, ’Hello.’
Adelle enthusiastically stretched out her hand to Cao Xiaomei, ’Hello, I’m Adelle, nice to meet you.’
Cao Xiaomei shook hands with her, ’Nice to meet you too.’
Although Cao Xiaomei was shaking hands with Adelle, her gaze was covertly appraising Shangguan Xu.
Shangguan Xu was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked quite serious; his features were distinct and no less handsome than Wu Chenjun.
But she was already with Wu Chenjun now.
One shouldn’t get too greedy.
Cao Xiaomei well understood the futility of drawing water with a bamboo basket.
Thinking thus, Cao Xiaomei indifferently withdrew her gaze.
Shangguan Xi loved children very much and reached out to hold Yuanyuan. Surprisingly, Yuanyuan, who usually acted shy around strangers, didn’t show any shyness today and openly stretched out her arms for Shangguan Xi to hold her, laughing very happily.
’Wow! Yuanyuan is not being shy!’ Ni Yang was somewhat surprised.
’Really? Let me try.’ Wu Chenjun came over to hold Yuanyuan, but before his hand even reached out, Yuanyuan got scared and clung tightly to Shangguan Xi’s neck.
Shangguan Xi joked, ’You are too ugly; you scared Yuanyuan!’
’You try.’ Wu Chenjun pushed Mo Qishen.
Mo Qishen walked up to Yuanyuan with utmost confidence, ’Can I hold you?’
Yuanyuan looked at Mo Qishen with disdain and pushed his hand away.
Wu Chenjun laughed so hard his stomach hurt, ’Mo Lao Liu, you are too ugly; look how you scared our little sister Yuanyuan!’
Mo Qishen: ’...’
Yuanyuan turned her head to look at Ni Chengui and opened her arms, saying, ’Ma! Ma!’
’Yuanyuan, what are you calling me?’ Ni Chengui’s eyes reddened.
The ones knocking were Wu Daming and his cousin Wu Qiang. Both were holding two big bags in their hands, which seemed heavily laden.
’Uncle Daming, Uncle Wu Qiang, come on in.’
’Has Lao Liu arrived yet?’ Wu Daming asked.
Zhao Yu smiled, ’He’s been here for a while now. By the way, is what you’re holding the gift my dad prepared for my grandma?’
Wu Daming nodded, and the two followed Zhao Yu into the house.
’Here they come.’ Seeing the newcomers, Mo Qishen stood up from his chair.
’Lao Liu.’
’Where’s the stuff?’ Mo Qishen then asked.
’It’s all here.’ Wu Daming lifted his hands with some difficulty.
Wu Chenjun curiously said, ’Brother-in-law, so this is the birthday gift you prepared for our mom? What’s inside? It looks pretty heavy! Bricks?’
Mo Qishen’s thin lips parted slightly, ’You guessed half right.’
’Holy crap! It really is bricks?’
Mo Qishen smiled.
Wu Daming and Wu Qiang placed the items on the table.
