Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Come into My Heart, or I’ll Come for You 4
In the blink of an eye, she was already stuffed with a pile of gifts for the first meeting, too many to hold in her arms!
"Ji Yebai..." Ning Xixi was completely baffled, her eyes seeking help from Ji Yebai, who immediately understood, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said helplessly, "You guys have scared my wife."
Pfft...
Who’s your wife, hey!
The leading Uncle Ji cleared his throat, "Alright, alright, no need to crowd around the doorway. Let Yebai lead his bride inside the house!"
Ji Yebai took all the items from her hands, feeling the weight of the washboard gifted by his uncle, which was said to be as sturdy as a Nokia phone, and his brow twitched fiercely.
The old house was decorated in a simple and grand style, with details that were serene and refined, demonstrating excellent taste.
Ning Xixi sat tentatively on the sofa, stealthily opening a red envelope to sneak a peek.
She had just been stuffed with a whole bunch of them!
But feeling them, they all seemed thin, probably just a few hundred yuan each... Holy crap! There’s actually a check inside?!
Ning Xixi’s eyes went wide, she silently counted the number of digits, her pale face turning white, and she called out softly, "Ji Yebai! Is the red envelope given by mistake?"
"Hm?" Ji Yebai was puzzled.
Ning Xixi waved her fair little hand at him, gesturing, "There are so, so many zeroes!"
"Pfft." Ji Yebai couldn’t hold back his laughter and chuckled, "If it’s given to you, just take it."
"But it’s too much..." she understood the principle of not accepting rewards without merit.
The smile on Ji Yebai’s handsome face remained as he leaned in close to her delicate ear, his voice deep and husky, enveloping her like a cello’s magnetism, "My wife, you’re worth this much money."
Ning Xixi’s face flushed red all at once!
The intimate appearance of the two fell into the eyes of the Ji family, and everyone felt so gratified!
A pig that has been watched grow up since childhood was finally rooting up cabbages! And such a tender and soft one at that! How could they not be gratified?
"Xixi, are you cold? Do you want to adjust the heating?"
"Are you hungry? Uncle’s cooking is really good, whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you!"
"Your uncle can play the piano, how about letting him play a piece for you?"
"Hey, you’re forcing my hand here, come on, Xixi, let your second uncle show you a magic trick!"
"..."
The enthusiasm of everyone left Ning Xixi feeling incredibly blessed.
"Have some snacks first. I heard you like dried fruits, all of these were specially air-shipped here!" Uncle Ji pushed over several fruit trays filled with walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, and the like.
With so many people watching, Ning Xixi, despite liking them, felt embarrassed to take any and just chuckled twice, "Thank you..."
"What are you thanking your Uncle for!"
Just as the atmosphere was getting warm, a stern voice came through, "Don’t you have hands? Hm?"
Ning Xixi was startled and looked up to see an elderly man dressed in a dark blue Chinese-style traditional garment, with white hair, spirited and full of vigor, walking over with a cane in hand.
As soon as he appeared, Ning Xixi recognized who he was.
Grandpa Ji!
In her mind, Grandpa Ji was especially intimidating, with a commanding presence, and she shrank back behind Ji Yebai out of fear.
"Don’t you have hands?" Grandpa Ji tapped his cane, repeating himself.
It was then Ning Xixi realized... the comment seemed to be directed at Ji Yebai?
"Hello, Grandpa." Ji Yebai greeted respectfully, "Don’t be so loud, you’ll scare my wife, and you’ll be responsible!"
"Hmph!" Grandpa Ji grumbled, dissatisfied, "Still your wife! Is that how you treat your wife? Hurry up and peel the fruits for her!"
