Early in the morning, Lu Wei Xi, wearing a pair of 7 cm high sandals, with a basket of fruits in her left hand and two boxes of nutritional supplements in her right, with great difficulty went down from the third floor of the girls’ dormitory. Even Jian Chi, who always remained calm, couldn’t help but frown.
He quickly walked over to his girlfriend and took the gifts from her. He looked at her as if he couldn’t understand what she is doing, “Why are you bringing all this?”
Lu Wei Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly answered, “This is the first time I’m going to my boyfriend’s house. I must bring a gift to show my sincerity.”
Jian Chi didn’t say anything and moved his sight to her high-heel shoes, “Are you sure you won’t fall?”
Lu Wei Xi, “......It’s fine, besides, you will be there to catch me if I fall.”
Jian Chi thought for a few seconds before he honestly replied, “I wouldn’t necessarily be able to catch you.”
Lu Wei Xi kept her face neutral, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
……
After putting on her seat belt, Lu Wei Xi sat frozen in the passenger seat, her race beating rapidly.
Basically, in order to not wrinkle her white shirt, Lu Wei Xi doesn’t dare to make any unnecessary movements, as if she is sitting on pins and needles. She’s not even in the mood to check her phone. Right now, she is wondering how she should smile when she enters the door and how should she greet them.
Jian Chi, who had his attention on the road in front, lightly asked, “Nervous?”
Lu Wei Xi looked at him and sighed, “My mood right now is the same as when I am checking my scores after finals.” She paused and asked with some uncertainty, “Jian Chi…..what if your parents don’t like me?”
“It’s fine as long as I like you, moreover––” Jian Chi turned and smiled, “Love me, love my dog. They will definitely love you too.
Love me, love my dog….Lu Wei Xi looked at him in displeasure.
Throughout the ride, Lu Wei Xi had been anxiously twisting her hand with unease. Soon, the car steading entered an upscale community. Lu Wei Xi took a look and realized that this area is a well-known wealthy district in T City. It’s more expensive than the place that Jian Chi is living in.
She thought back to the first time she went to Jian Chi’s house and saw those ink paintings….
Jian Chi’s mother must be a noble and graceful woman. She can see it from the good manners and temperament Jian Chi has.
The car stopped in front of a villa. Jian Chi got off and walked over to Lu Wei Xi’s side to help her open the door.
She checked her appearance one last time on her phone screen before she took a deep breath and got off the car.
She obediently followed Jian Chi all the way to the gate. The seemed to be equipped with an extremely advanced fingerprint lock. Lu Wei Xi stayed silent, feeling more and more uneasy.
Lu Wei Xi followed behind Jian Chi and walked up the stairs. At this moment, Lu Wei Xi regretted wearing high heels today. All of this is Cheng Si Ran’s fault. She told her that girls need to wear high heels to appear refined or why else would she put a time bomb on her feet. She feels like she would fall in the next step.
Jian Chi, who is carrying the gifts that she bought, turned to look at her, “Do you need help?”
Lu Wei Xi, who has her attention focused on her feet, waved her hand mindlessly and weakly defended herself, “It’s fine, I’m actually very skilled in walking in high heels, maybe it’s because I haven’t worn it in a while and I’m not used to it….”
With great difficulty, they reached the door entrance. Lu Wei Xi looked up, her heart feeling unease.
The next second, before Jian Chi turned the key, the door “katcha” opened.
Lu Wei Xi stared ignorantly at the madam smiling brightly at her. She is wearing an ink-splattered cheongsam, looking natural and unrestrained.
This madam is Ye Lan, who is Jian Chi’s mother.
Stunned by her elegance, Lu Wei Xi stared at her, her mouth gaping. All the greeting that she prepared beforehand, disappeared from her head, “Auntie, you look like Maggie Cheung.”
Jian Chi stayed silent.
Ye Lan was caught off guard for a moment before she revealed an intimate smile, “You must be Wei Xi. You really know how to talk.” She swept her eyes over the fruit basket and nutritional supplements in Jian Chi’s hand, “You don’t need to bring gifts when you visit. It makes you seem like an outsider.”
She doesn’t look arrogant or overbearing as she thought she would be. She looks like those girls from a wealthy family in the seventies. All of Lu Wei Xi’s restlessness disappeared in a second.
The furnishing and decor of Jian Chi’s parents’ home are al oriental, noble and classic. This she can tell from looking at the cheongsam on Ye Lan’s body.
Lu Wei Xi cutely followed behind her. There was a piece of valuable rosewood screen separating the entrance and the living room.
When she walked into the living, she saw a genteel middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
She doesn't have to think about it. This must be Jian Chi’s father.
Once again, she couldn’t help but recall Xu Qu Qing’s words from the other night. Jian Chi once lowered himself to ask his father to not make things hard for her….
Will he be a difficult elder to get along with?
Nervous, Lu Wei Xi sneakily looked over to him. He wore a well-fitted Chinese tunic suit with a Parker fountain pen inserted into his breast pocket. At one glance, you can tell that he is a highly educated man. His eyes are filled with resolute sternness as if he had faced life and death on the battlefield when he was young.
Just as Lu Wei Xi is looking at him, Jane An Yi was also observing her.
Her height is average, her looks are average, temperament looks good and her eyes….looks very clear. At first glance, he can tell that she is a pure and innocent girl.
With that in mind, Jian An Yi’s eyes softened.
