"Director, the things you asked for are ready." Jiang Jian put the items on the coffee table and then spoke to Shen Lingxing, who was changing his coat by the coat rack.
"What are these?" Before Shen Lingxing could respond, Chu Chen curiously stared at the items on the coffee table and asked Jiang Jian.
"Don't mind him. You go out first, I'll call you if I need you." Shen Lingxing instructed.
Jiang Jian left as instructed, but Chu Chen's curiosity didn't fade. His gaze kept wandering over those bags, and he even opened them to take a look at what's inside.
"Tea leaves, knives, brushes, liquor? Fourth Brother, what are you planning to do with these?" Chu Chen looked up at Shen Lingxing, his youthful, doll-like face filled with confusion.
"eting my future in-laws." Shen Lingxing picked up the thermos cup on his desk, took a sip of water, and cleared his throat before speaking.
What? Future in-laws?
Chu Chen was incredibly surprised and asked, "Fourth Brother, when did you get married?"
"Today."
Wow! Just a few days out of sight, and he's following the trend with a lightning-fast marriage!
Chu Chen admired this greatly. Flash marriage! That takes a lot of courage! But soone as rational as Shen Lingxing, how could he be so impulsive?
Chu Chen's curiosity surged again, causing him to gossip, "Fourth Brother, were you provoked by sothing? Or is my fourth sister-in-law so stunning that you acted impulsively for once?"
"..."
Shen Lingxing ignored Chu Chen, casually picked up his phone on the desk, turned on the screen, and saw two unread ssages. He then opened them and saw that both were from Mi Jing.
"Are you free now? My parents are asking what you like to eat. If convenient, send a ssage. That's the first one. Then half an hour later, Mi Jing sent another one: Still busy? My parents are urging to report the nu, so I randomly reported braised beef and stir-fried shrimp with cucumber. Rember to eat more of these two dishes tonight."
After reading the ssages, Shen Lingxing couldn't help but smile. Through the words, he could feel the warmth of Mi Jing's family.
"Fourth Brother, are you okay? Smiling so wickedly!" Seeing Shen Lingxing's silly smile at his phone, Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat. A man over thirty thinking about spring, it's too startling!
"Get lost and go back where you ca from; I don't have ti to chat with you." Shen Lingxing put away his phone, then picked up the large and small bags on the coffee table, ready to head to Mi Jing's house.
Chu Chen entered the elevator with Shen Lingxing, his curiosity still not satisfied, making him itchy inside. So he continued to ask, "Fourth Brother, when do you plan to introduce fourth sister-in-law to and big brother?"
"When there's ti."
When exactly is "when there's ti"? Chu Chen still wanted to ask, but at that mont, the elevator dinged, the door opened, and Shen Lingxing walked out without looking back, automatically ignoring Chu Chen's presence.
When Shen Lingxing drove to the front of Mi Jing's building, Mi Jing was already standing on the steps waiting. She was wearing a white knitted jacket, her short hair tousled by the cold wind, but she didn't mind. She craned her neck, looking around. When Shen Lingxing parked the car, she ran up to him.
As she ran, Mi Jing's short hair fluttered in the wind, then mischievously bounced up, revealing her delicate and pretty face that gradually beca clearer and entered Shen Lingxing's vision.
Just as she stopped, her flying bangs fell, covering her bright eyes.
"Cold?" Shen Lingxing, holding the bags, raised a hand to tidy Mi Jing's ssy bangs, his lips curving into a slight smile.
His sudden tenderness shocked Mi Jing, making her freeze for a mont. As her eyes lifted, his handso smiling face collided with her vision, stunning her.
A refined gentleman, warm and gentle as jade, that must be him, right? Just a faint smile could be so captivating.
After several seconds, Shen Lingxing still didn't get a response from Mi Jing; he saw her staring blankly at him and couldn't help but show a bit of confusion in his expression, "Is there sothing on my face?"
"No." Mi Jing shook her head while replying, her cheeks instantly feeling hot.
So embarrassing, she was caught daydreaming about him. She used to tease Li Bao'er about her infatuations, and now her self-control was lacking too!
Mi Jing felt secretly embarrassed and lowered her head silently, then her eyes fell on the items in Shen Lingxing's hand, "Let help with so." she offered.
"No need." Shen Lingxing dodged Mi Jing's hand reaching to help with the bags and said, "You lead the way."
"Okay."
Mi Jing responded briefly and led Shen Lingxing upstairs.
Inside, there was no elevator, with two apartnts per floor. Mi Jing's family lived on the third floor, and their door was already open. Song Jinxuan, a little girl, stood at the door acting as a doorman. Seeing Shen Lingxing following Mi Jing, she shouted, "Hello, Uncle!"
"Hello." Shen Lingxing looked down at Song Jinxuan, smiling and greeting her.
"Uncle, my na is Song Jinxuan, you can call Xuanxuan; everyone calls that." Song Jinxuan said, her head tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, looking up at Shen Lingxing.
"Mm, hello Xuanxuan, nice to et you." Shen Lingxing extended his hand towards Song Jinxuan.
Seeing this, Song Jinxuan also extended her small hand, then she grabbed Shen Lingxing's big hand, shaking it properly and said, "Shake hands, good friends, we are good friends from now on. Uncle, please co inside!"
The little girl gestured invitingly, making Fang Qingru, who had co out of the house, laugh heartily, "Yes, please co in!" Fang Qingru warmly invited Shen Lingxing.
They all went inside, and Mi Jing introduced Shen Lingxing to her family mbers one by one. After greeting everyone, they went straight to the dining table.
The table was filled with dishes, and both Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong were very warm, repeatedly asking Shen Lingxing to try the dishes or asking Mi Jing to serve him, fearing that he might be neglected.
After dinner, Mi Jing and Mi Wan cleaned the dishes, while Shen Lingxing followed Fang Qingru and Mi Zhihong to the living room.
"This is Tieguanyin tea given by a friend of mine; it has a fragrant flavor. Lingxing, try it." As he spoke, Mi Zhihong handed Shen Lingxing a steaming cup of tea.
Shen Lingxing politely accepted, took a small sip, savored it, and said, "Dad, this tea is indeed fragrant, but..."
"But what?" Mi Zhihong pretended to be curious.
"This tea is not Tieguanyin; it should be Longjing." Shen Lingxing calmly replied.
"Haha, it seems you are quite good at tasting tea. Indeed, it is Longjing; I deliberately said it wrong just now." Mi Zhihong didn't seem embarrassed at all for being caught in a little trick, instead laughing heartily.
At the dinner table earlier, it wasn't suitable for chit-chat, but now that they were sitting down for tea, the timing was right, and Mi Zhihong started talking more, "Lingxing, I heard from Jingjing that you haven't known each other for long, so you might not fully understand her yet. To be honest, she's quite pampered, doesn't know how to cook or do housework. So if she doesn't do well in so areas in the future, I hope you can be tolerant and give her ti to learn."
