novelUnwilling to Go Out
| ← Ch.1329 | Ch.1331 → |
"I didn't put in much effort. These gifts were all prepared by my secretary. I only instructed my secretary to prepare a present, but I didn't know what he had prepared!"
Gu Shaoting spoke the truth.
Liang Mulan paused, not sure whether to laugh or cry...
Wasn't Gu Shaoting a little too straightforward? Why couldn't he just accept the compliment?
Even Lin Ran held her forehead. What if her boyfriend was too honest?
The secretary standing behind Gu Shaoting was also rendered speechless.
Did his boss have to be so forthright and offend his future mother-in-law?
It was only when Lin Nuan opened her mouth that the awkwardness was eased."Regardless of who picked them, the presents are all wonderful. This is a limited edition bag. I heard there are only twelve of them in total. Furthermore, the colors of the 12 bags are different. This dark green color was the hardest to buy, so it wasn't easy to get it. Getting it must have taken a lot of effort!"
Lin Nuan then looked at the secretary behind Gu Shaoting."Thank you for the hard work!"
Gu Shaoting's secretary looked flattered and waved his hand with reddened ears."It's my duty!"
Gu Shaoting's secretary was Lin Nuan's fan, so he indeed had put in the most efforts when choosing a present for Lin Nuan!
He had used his boss' money to buy a wonderful present for his idol, but he hadn't expected to be praised by his idol.
Lin Nuan actually didn't know much about bags, but Bai Xiaonian was a fan of bags...
Bai Xiaonian very much wanted this dark green bag, and Lu Jinnan had tried to get it for her back then!
However, the official store didn't accept pre-orders. They only released it on that day, and people had to compete in terms of their luck and speed...
Even though Lu Jinnan had mobilized so many people to help snatch the dark green bag, he still didn't manage to get it. He could only get the red one for Bai Xiaonian. Who would have thought that the dark green bag would end up in Lin Nuan's hands?
Lin Nuan smiled at Gu Shaoting and his secretary, saying, "Bai Xiaonian really wanted this bag. Even after her husband instructed many people to get it, he still couldn't get it. I never thought that Gu Shaoting's secretary would be the best!"
Gu Shaoting's secretary's ears turned even redder."No, no..."
"If Bai Xiaonian finds out that I have this bag, she'll definitely think of a way to snatch it from me..." Lin Nuan joked."I have to hide it well, lest Bai Xiaonian discovers it!"
"Then what if it's discovered?" Lin Ran asked.
"Then take one for the team. Lend the bag to her!" Lin Nuan held the bag even tighter in her arms, unwilling to part with it.
The atmosphere in the house lightened up in an instant. Old Madam Lin was all smiles as she asked about Bai Xiaonian's condition.
Bai Xiaonian's due date was in early November, and the gender had been revealed to be a boy. Since Lin Nuan had gone through the experience of giving birth, she had prepared Bai Xiaonian's hospital bag for delivery.
Old Madam Lin and Liang Mulan both knew that Bai Xiaonian was on very good terms with Lin Nuan. Moreover, when Lin Nuan left the Lin family, she had been of great help to Lin Nuan. Bai Xiaonian didn't have a mother, so they couldn't help but be concerned about Bai Xiaonian.
"Bai Xiaonian's child is around one year younger than our Yuan Yuan!" When Old Madam Lin thought of Yuan Yuan, a smile appeared in her eyes.
Lin Nuan nodded.
"That's great. The two kids of similar ages can play together..." Old Madam Lin then turned to look at Lin Chen."You have to work hard too, so your child, Xiao Ran's child, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan will be able to play together!"
The minute Lin Ran heard this, her ears turned red...
Gu Shaoting smiled and nodded thoughtfully.
"Grandma, Gu Shaoting and I haven't even gotten married, so why are we talking about having a child!" Lin Ran's fingers quickly fiddled with the pillow, feeling extremely anxious.
"Soon!" Gu Shaoting said."We can prepare for the wedding."
Lin Ran glared at Gu Shaoting, then frowned and said, "My brother doesn't even have a girlfriend now. I feel that introducing a girlfriend to him is more important than preparing for our wedding."
Lin Chen was speechless.
How was the topic back to him again?
At the mention of Lin Chen, Liang Mulan started nagging again...
Fu Huai'an's lips curled up as he looked at the helpless Lin Chen in front of him with envy in his eyes.
Fu Huai'an's mother died early, and his father... had never fulfilled his parental responsibility. No matter what Fu Huai'an did, he had never been cared for by his family.
But now...
Fu Huai'an had Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. They were his family, and with them around, he was very happy and satisfied.
Fu Huai'an reached out to grab Lin Nuan's shoulder and gently squeezed it.
Lin Nuan hugged Tuan Tuan tightly, lowered her head, and planted a kiss on the top of Tuan Tuan's head, then leaned into Fu Huai'an's arms.
Ever since Lin Ran's return to the Lin family, this was the first time Lin Nuan felt so good to be around the Lin family again.
Although Lin Chen had been ganged up on, he still felt blissful.
The family's atmosphere was just right.
At that moment, the housekeeper quietly walked in and whispered in Lin Chen's ear, "Young Master, there's a lady with the surname Jian outside. She said that your watch... was left at her place last night, so she is especially here to send it over. She wants to see you and return the watch personally to you."
When Liang Mulan heard this, she reached out to grab her husband's hand.
Could it be that... their son had finally seen the light?
Lin Chen's brows furrowed tightly."Yesterday, after work, didn't I call to say that I'd be spending the night at Grandpa and Grandma's place? Uncle Dong, do you know how many watches I have? So what if one goes missing? Uncle Dong, you clearly know that I didn't lose my watch... yet you're still asking me to go out and meet her? Just send her away..."
Seeing Lin Chen like this, Lin Nuan suddenly recalled the foxy young lady she had seen with Lin Chen at the restaurant during her lunch date with Su Manman.
Although there was a hint of unhappiness in Lin Chen's eyes, Lin Nuan didn't see revulsion in his eyes.
Uncle Dong, the housekeeper, of course, knew about this. It was just that... a pretty young lady, who looked so obedient and adorable, had come to look for Lin Chen. Uncle Dong, who was also concerned about Lin Chen still being single, naturally came in to ask. So what if what the young lady said about having his watch was just an excuse to meet Lin Chen?
He didn't think that Lin Chen seemed to be uninterested in that young lady and was unwilling to go out to meet her.
Uncle Dong was put in a difficult position...
"Brother, you should go out and meet her to make things clear!" Lin Nuan smiled and said.
Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded, put down his crossed legs, and walked out.
Liang Mulan hurriedly asked Uncle Dong, "What kind of lady is she?"
"Madam, the young lady outside is very beautiful and adorable. She looks so obedient!" Uncle Dong told the truth.
Liang Mulan made up an excuse to go to the dining room to look if the dishes had been served, but she went to check the surveillance cameras outside instead...
Outside the Lin family's black iron gate, a young lady in a dress was holding a bag with both hands. Her driver was holding an umbrella to shield the young lady from the scorching sun.
