President, please comfort me.

Baidu Mansion.

Hearing the engine sound in the yard, Tang Hui came out, beaming from ear to ear: "Xiao Qi, A He, you're back."

"Mom." Wen Qi happily gave her a big hug, and the two chatted as they walked towards the living room.

Xiao He took out some local specialties from the trunk and silently followed behind the two.

Tang Hui pulled Wen Qi to sit on the sofa next to her. Wen Qi saw Xiao Yan wearing glasses, sitting on a single sofa with his legs crossed, reading a magazine, and called out, "Dad."

Xiao Yan put down the magazine, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He placed a large plate of fruit that he had prepared earlier in front of Wen Qi: "Xiao Qi is back. Come and sit down. Have some fruit first. Your mother just picked some strawberries and cherries from the backyard. They're very fresh."

“Okay, I like to eat fruit.” Wen Qi picked up a big, red strawberry.

"Wow, it's so sweet!" she exclaimed, praising without reservation.

Xiao Yan looked every bit the loving father, his sternness from when they first met gone: "If you like it, there's plenty at home. Dad will have the gardener bring you seasonal fruit every day from now on."

"No need, Dad. I can't eat much anyway. Just come back anytime if you want to eat."

"Okay, it's good to come back often."

Xiao Yan asked, "How are you doing? Are you getting used to the work?"

"The job is pretty good, and a good friend of mine will be starting next week in the same position as me."

“That’s perfect. We can look out for each other. Xiao He is usually at headquarters, so we can contact him if anything comes up.”

"Yeah. I know."

Tang Hui noticed that Xiao He was carrying several bags in his hands and asked in confusion, "Ahe, what are those in your hands?"

Xiao He handed the items to the maid: "These are Xiangcheng specialties that Xiao Qi brought for you."

Tang Hui raised her voice slightly upon hearing this, and looked at Wen Qi with a smile: "Xiao Qi is so thoughtful, thank you, darling."

Wen Qi waved her hand, pointed at Xiao He, and smiled bitterly: "No, I was just passing on what I had bought. He bought them all."

"No need to say nice things to that brat, I know him too well." When talking about Xiao He, Xiao Yan always complained with a look of disgust.

Xiao He didn't argue, but sat down openly next to Wen Qi and gave her a big strawberry, saying, "Eat less, or you won't be able to eat anything later."

"Oh, okay." Wen Qi nodded and happily accepted it.

From Xiao He returning more than an hour early today, to taking things upon entering the door just now, and now sitting next to Wen Qi giving her instructions, Tang Hui has seen all of his actions and is very satisfied.

It seems the young couple are getting along quite well lately, Tang Hui thought to herself as she sat to the side.

After all, Xiao He always came back for meals right on time, and he had never shown this much concern for Tang Yue, his only younger sister.

The family chatted idly in the living room, and time passed quickly.

At six o'clock, the servants prepared dinner, and everyone got up and headed to the dining room.

Tang Hui served food to Wen Qi, piling it up in the small bowl: "Xiao Qi, try this spare rib and this beef. I didn't ask them to prepare seafood today. If Ahe hadn't specifically told me, I wouldn't have known you're allergic to seafood."

Wen Qi was surprised and secretly glanced at the man serving her soup. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, thank you, Mom. Actually, you don't need to worry about me. I can eat anything except seafood. You can continue eating seafood."

"Yes, you're the most sensible one." Tang Hui said with satisfaction.

"Come on, eat more vegetables, you can eat less rice, save some room for dessert."

“Ah He said you love desserts. You were planning to come over for dinner a couple of weeks ago, so he hired two pastry chefs to be at his house. They’re really skilled. See if they suit your taste later.”

Wen Qi hummed in agreement, and a faint blush rose to her face as she recalled how she had missed the last meal here because of her own actions.

She glanced at Xiao He out of the corner of her eye, then used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his bowl, saying softly, "Thank you."

"It's only right that he takes care of you, don't be polite with him." Mr. Xiao had no doubt about this.

Xiao He placed the soup next to Wen Qi, then looked at the chicken in the bowl and was secretly pleased. For once, he didn't argue: "Yes, Dad is right."

"Oh, right, your uncle said Xiao Can is on summer vacation and wants to come over to play. He'll probably be here in the next couple of days." Tang Hui suddenly remembered something and looked at Xiao He excitedly.

Tang Hui continued, "Xiao Qi, you'll definitely like Xiao Can when he comes. He's very mischievous, and only A He has ever been able to keep him in check since he was little."

Wen Qi also likes children, and from Tang Hui's description, she knew he was a lively and active guy: "Well, when he comes, I'll take him to the amusement park."

The "uncle" Tang Hui mentioned was a child adopted by Xiao He's grandmother from the orphanage. He was a few years older than Xiao He and now lived in Mincheng.

He has a ten-year-old son named Xiao Can. Both he and his wife are very busy people. When he was little, they often left him in the capital. Tang Hui liked children, so she helped take care of him. Xiao Can was very attached to Xiao He.

"Okay, I'll ask my uncle when he'll arrive and I'll go pick him up."

"No need, your dad and I are just sitting at home doing nothing, we'll go pick them up."

"also."

After dinner, Xiao's father asked the gardener to pick fruit in the backyard. Wen Qi also wanted to take a stroll in the backyard, and Xiao offered to accompany her.

The two walked side by side, and Xiao gave a brief introduction: This is the vegetable shed, and over there are fruits and flowers.

Wen Qi looked around in amazement: "This place is so big, and there are so many kinds of vegetables and fruits."

She was as curious as Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. It was amazing that such a large area of ​​land could be used to grow flowers and grass in this villa area where land was so valuable.

Xiao and Jian took her for a walk around, and then the two decided to return to Chunfengli.

Before leaving, Xiao Yan and Tang Hui filled Xiao He's trunk with fruit and snacks for them to take back.

When they returned to Spring Breeze, Xiao He intended to give her the jewelry and the White Dream from before, but Wen Qi said she was a little tired today and went back to her room early. Xiao He had no choice but to give up, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to give it to her another day.

-

The next day.

Yang Xu, who had regained his former handsome appearance, went to Chen Nuo's home in West Lake Garden for dinner with Wen Qi.

Both of Chen's parents are professors at Imperial University. In addition to Chen Nuo, they also have a son named Chen Hang who is in junior high school.

"Sister Qi, Brother Xu, it's been a long time!" Chen Hang greeted the two warmly.

"Yes, it's been almost half a year since we last met. You've grown taller again," Wen Qi said with a smile, patting Chen Hang's hair.

"He's got a huge appetite now. I feel like he can eat a whole cow every day. Look how fat he is," Chen's mother chimed in, overhearing their conversation.

"Mom, I'm just growing, okay? And it's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be," Chen Hang retorted, dissatisfied.

Children this age are very conscious of their appearance and cannot tolerate being told they are fat, especially in front of such a pretty young lady.

"Okay, I won't say anymore."

Mr. and Mrs. Chen warmly welcomed the couple, and like other parents, the conversation gradually turned to: "Are you dating anyone?"

Yang Xu, as always, stepped in to take the blame: "Not yet, I'm waiting for my uncle and aunt to introduce me, hahaha."

"Alright, Auntie has really been looking for someone for Xiao Nuo lately. Xiao Qi, Xiao Xu, you two don't need to run away either, I've already packed and arranged everything for you." Chen's mother knew what these three were up to, but she deliberately spoke in a serious tone.

However, she wasn't lying; she had indeed been looking for blind dates for Chen Nuo recently.

"Oh, Mom, we just graduated, why are you rushing us?" Chen Nuo was already somewhat immune to this, but ever since her last bad relationship ended, her mother no longer trusted her judgment and insisted on giving her advice.

“Xiao Nuo is right, there’s no rush, Dad will support you forever.” Mr. Chen wasn’t in a hurry for his daughter to find a partner, after all, she was only twenty-three years old.

Chen Nuo laughed when he heard this and put a big chicken leg on his father's plate: "Dad understands me best."

Fortunately, Chen's mother only indulged in her witty remarks occasionally and didn't put too much pressure on Chen Nuo, so the meal passed quickly with everyone chatting and laughing.

It was rare for Chen Nuo to have no classes all day. After dinner, Chen's mother invited them to play mahjong at home for an afternoon.

They were supposed to stay for dinner, but around four o'clock Yang Xu said he had promised to go home and have dinner with his parents that night, so everyone went home.
