Chiang Xiao chuckled twice and ran in to bring out Little Snowball, using its two paws to "receive" the red packet.
"Cough cough," she cleared her throat and said, "Brother Kuang, let me introduce you to my little sister, named Snow Ball. Come, Little Snowball, say hello to Brother Kuang and thank him for the red packet."
As she spoke, she mimicked in a tender voice, "Meow!"
Kuang Yun Xian: "..."
He looked towards Meng Xinian, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, while Meng Xinian kept a straight face.
"As Little Snowball’s brother-in-law, I should also express our gratitude to Brother Yun Xian on its behalf."
Kuang Yun Xian couldn’t help but laugh as he stroked his forehead.
He had to admit, he was impressed.
However, deep down, he felt quite relieved. The Meng Xinian of the past was like a silent, old man, but since being with Chiang Xiao, he seemed to be getting more and more cheerful and outgoing, even up to pulling this kind of prank.
"Brother Yun Xian just got back from Capital City yesterday," Meng Xinian told Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao suddenly understood.
Although Kuang Yun Xian had been in Capital City, Meng Xinian didn’t ask for his help with Old Meng’s situation before, probably because there was some difficult to handle matter. She seemed to have heard that Kuang Yun Xian’s family situation was even harder than Meng Xinian’s.
"Take the car and go," Kuang Yun Xian seemed reluctant to talk more about his family matters in Capital City, "Old Meng is here, right? I’ll go in and have a chat with him."
Chiang Xiao handed Little Snowball to Meng Xinian, "I’ll go and brew some tea for them," she said before running off.
Meng Xinian watched her leave with a slight smile.
His little girl was still very kind-hearted, having received two red packets, and was now ready to reciprocate with her precious flower tea.
By the time she came out with the tea, Chu Liang had already helped load the wheelchair into the car, and Meng Xinian had taken the driver’s seat, resting one hand on the car window and looking towards her.
From this angle, his good looks were absolutely stunning to Chiang Xiao.
Her heart gave a heavy thump.
Once in the car, Chu Liang asked with concern, "Captain Meng, are you sure I don’t need to come with you?"
Meng Xinian shook his head, "No need, stay at home. We’ll return early tomorrow."
Chiang Xiao paused, wasn’t it supposed to be a there-and-back trip today?
Meng Xinian glanced at her, stopping her questioning retort.
Meng Xinian drove very steadily.
As the car left City M, Chiang Xiao couldn’t hold back, "We’re returning tomorrow?"
Didn’t that mean tonight would be their first real time alone together?
"I’ve already spoken to grandpa and grandma," Meng Xinian recalled what Chiang Songhai had mentioned to him the night before as he glanced at Chiang Xiao, "Did you buy the house in the county town?"
"Ah? Yes. It was He Jin’s friend’s property, and I thought it was suitable, so I bought it," she replied.
Meng Xinian gripped the steering wheel tighter.
There was another He Jin in the county town.
"Grandpa and grandma are a bit worried, that someone might come to take the house. You have an uncle, why haven’t you mentioned him before?"
Chiang Songhai had been worried about the house situation for a long time.
In his view, whether it was the house in City M or the one in the county town, they should definitely belong to Chiang Xiao. However, considering he still had another son, who had been out of touch for several years.
Chiang Songhai didn’t know who to talk to about this when Meng Xinian was not around. Ge Liutao lacked understanding and was indecisive. But as soon as Meng Xinian returned, Chiang Songhai immediately discussed the matter with him.
After all, he trusted Meng Xinian completely.
Just as Meng Xinian finished speaking, he felt Chiang Xiao’s body suddenly tense up.
