Chapter 762: Chapter 762: [Extra] So I’m That Perfect in Your Eyes?
Mr. Xu and Mother Xu looked at their son who returned with a look of disdain, saying, “You could have spent the weekend with your girlfriend, but instead, you’re running home, what a lack of ambition.”
They had wasted their efforts staying outside for half a month over the New Year to create opportunities for him.
But this kid simply couldn’t be motivated.
However, hearing that Ning An was coming over, the elderly couple immediately changed their attitude.
One was bustling around in the kitchen, while the other was holding Ning An’s hand with an enthusiastic face.
“This time, your uncle and I went to quite a few places and bought you some gifts,” Mother Xu said as she brought out everything she purchased to show Ning An, “Don’t forget to take them with you when you leave later.”
Ning An looked at the table, full of gifts, and said, “This is way too much, thank you, Auntie!”
“Hurry up and open them to see if you like them,” Mother Xu said with a smile, urging her on.
Weiran, who was off to the side, raised his head and looked at the two in the living room getting along harmoniously, saying, “Mom, what about mine?”
Mother Xu glared at him, “What does a grown man like you need gifts for? Isn’t raising you to this age enough? Over the New Year’s, I didn’t see you offering any filial piety to your father and me. You still have the nerve to ask us for things. I always say, raising a son is not as good as raising a dog.”
The son less valuable than a dog, Weiran: …
“My bad!” He shouldn’t have stayed here.
Weiran got up and went to the kitchen.
“What are you doing in here?” But when Mr. Xu saw him, he frowned.
Weiran, “I’m checking if there’s anything I can help with?”
Mr. Xu bluntly shooed him away, “What can you do with one hand? Hurry out, don’t stay here and get in the way!”
So it seems in this large house, there’s simply no place for him.
Weiran, having been chased out of the kitchen, came out only to see Ning An, who had a schadenfreude smirk on her face. Weiran helplessly and somewhat annoyed said, “You ungrateful girl, don’t you see it’s because of whom that the elders are neglecting me.”
Ning An raised her eyebrows and said, “You can’t blame me for that. I heard Auntie didn’t like you even before you found a girlfriend.”
Yes, they resented him for not having a girlfriend before, and now that he had one, he seemed wholly superfluous.
Weiran felt he really shouldn’t stay in this house.
Ning An consoled him with a laugh, “Come on, stop being jealous. Uncle and Auntie are nice to me, all because of you. They’re helping you score points.”
Weiran, “So have they actually helped me?”
Ning An gestured, “Of course, they’ve added at least ten points for you.”
Weiran wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close against him, “Then how many points do I have now?”
Ning An, “If full marks are a hundred, you’ve got at least 95 now—the remaining five are to keep you from getting too arrogant.”
Weiran couldn’t help but laugh, “So I’m that perfect in your eyes?”
“Of course, I have very high standards when it comes to picking a boyfriend.” Ning An, who was naturally beautiful, had never lacked admirers from a young age, yet she didn’t date until college, which was proof enough of her selective eye.
If not for her high standards, he wouldn’t have stood a chance!
Mother Xu initially planned to ask Ning An to check out a new bag she bought.
There was a get-together with some old girlfriends in a couple of days, and she wanted Ning An to help her decide how to match it with her clothes.
But as soon as she came over, she saw the two cuddling together and quickly covered her mouth to back away, then sneakily took out her phone to snap a photo of the two lovebirds and went off to show off in her circle of friends.
