Nian Xi felt warmth in her heart, so she did not argue with him.
The two of them strolled until six o’clock in the afternoon before returning. Nian Xi picked two sets of new clothes for Jiang Yuning’s parents.
After returning to the courtyard house, Shi Qingtong held the clothes in his hands and they were trembling. Her eyes were red. “Hubby, our son also knows to buy me gifts. Look, these clothes are so beautiful. Ever since he was twelve years old, he hasn’t given me any gifts.”
Jiang Fei also nodded. Men were not as sentimental as women, but he was also filled with emotions. “My son has grown up. Look at how beautiful my shirt is. I am wearing this on his wedding day. I’ll definitely take good care of it.”
Nian Xi was embarrassed. It was not easy for this couple, but it was also quite heartbreaking. “Uncle and auntie, you don’t have to be like this. I’ll often supervise Yuning to give you gifts. Like those Father’s Day and Mother’s Day gifts, they’re all necessary.”
“Nian Xi, you are such a sensible child.” Shi Qingtong was really satisfied with her now.
“It’s nothing. It’s only right to be filial to your children.” Nian Xi smiled faintly.
…
After dinner, Jiang Yuning went to take a shower. Nian Xi went downstairs to get water. Just as she turned around, Shi Qingtong walked over with a box in his hands. “Nian Xi, Can I have a minute with you.”
Nian Xi looked at the box in her hand. It looked low-key and luxurious. Was he going to give her some heirloom of the Jiang Family?
Nian Xi suddenly became nervous. The heirloom he gave to luosang was a bracelet, which was very valuable for the first match. Jiang Yuning’s family was an official in the Qing dynasty. Could it be that they also had heirlooms like jade bracelets?
If it was too expensive, should she accept it or not.
“Nian Xi, I just want to say thank you,” Shi Qingtong said with mixed feelings, “To be honest, if I’m ever a responsible and good mother, Yuning won’t get autism. He won’t be unable to contact me when he was 12 years old and let her be buried down there for so long. In the past, he basically wouldn’t talk to us about anything other than research, let alone others. It was you who made him change slowly. I can feel that no matter how slowly his illness improved, his personality also started to become more cheerful. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Nian Xi quickly shook her head, “Auntie, don’t say that. I’m his girlfriend, so this is what I should do. In fact, I couldn’t accept Yuning’s personality at first, but after we got to know each other, I felt that because of this, he was simpler than many people. He was like a blank sheet of paper, making me feel safe. In fact, Yuning also lacked love and care. I hope that in the future, you won’t always think about research and can occasionally care about him more.”
“You’re right.” Shi Qingtong was deeply moved. “By the way, this is your first time at auntie’s house. I don’t know what to give you. Anyway, since you’re getting married, Auntie will give you this thing. This is the most precious thing in our family.”
“Auntie, you don’t have to do this,” Nian Xi rejected. If the thing was too valuable, she would be too embarrassed to accept it.
“Of course, if you want to be my daughter-in-law,” Shi Qingtong said in a tone that could not be rejected.
“Thank you, auntie.” Nian Xi squeezed out a helpless smile. After holding it, she realized that it was quite heavy. She opened the box and was stunned. “Auntie, why… is it a… Stone…”
She stuttered as she asked. She had thought that it was a big piece of jade.
