Cheng Yang didn’t know how she came to that conclusion and did not reply.
Xiao Ying became even angrier. “Hmph, I’m definitely going today.”
Their roles changed in an instant.
Cheng Yang reacted and knew that she had misunderstood. He quickly said, “You didn’t even buy me a gift just now.”
Xiao Ying’s expression faltered. She looked at the two gift boxes in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She said, “You have to be jealous of even this?”
Cheng Yang looked straight ahead, but he might as well have written the words on his face: I’m unhappy.
Xiao Ying smiled. This side of Cheng Yang was too cute.
When there was a red light ahead, she leaned over and kissed him. “This is your gift.”
Cheng Yang turned his head, wanting to deepen the kiss.
Xiao Ying covered her mouth and said, “Drive, the lights are green.”
Cheng Yang could only continue driving and said, “You have to compensate me later.”
Amidst their chatting, they arrived outside a manor.
Xiao Ying got out of the car and sighed. “Your family is really rich.”
Cheng Yang chuckled. This was the first time he had heard such straightforward praise.
He said, “It’ll all be yours in the future.”
Xiao Ying’s eyes lit up, and she acted like a gold-digger, “Then I’ll have to stick by your side, great financial backer.”
Cheng Yang stroked her head and said, “Stop joking around. Let’s go in.”
Only then did Xiao Ying become serious again, and the anxiety from before returned to her heart.
She entered with stiff footsteps and gulped dramatically.
Cheng Yang looked at her with a grin and reached out to hold her hand, giving her a sense of security.
The two of them entered and Xiao Ying saw Cheng Ya and an elegant lady sitting on the couch. She was obviously Cheng Yang’s mother.
Mama Cheng’s eyes lit up when she saw Cheng Yang, but she said casually, “You still know to come back? I thought you had forgotten about this family.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Ying beside him and her expression froze.
She did not ask who she was as her gaze swept over her.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Cheng Yang introduced her directly. “This is Xiao Ying, my future wife.”
This introduction represented Cheng Yang’s attitude towards Xiao Ying.
Mother Cheng’s expression was a little unpleasant, and Cheng Ya tried to smooth things over with a smile.
“Xiao Ying, I suddenly had something to deal with last time, so I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
When she said this, she glanced at Cheng Yang. She was still angry about what had happened last time.
Cheng Yang led Xiao Ying in but was interrupted by Mother Cheng. “It’s best not to let random people into the house.”
Xiao Ying frowned. If she had not been sure before, she now understood that this auntie really did not like her.
She just didn’t know how she had angered her.
Cheng Yang’s expression sank as he said, “I’m only here to inform you, not to ask for your opinion.”
Mother Cheng was unhappy, but seeing that Cheng Yang was obviously angry, she suppressed it.
Cheng Ya laughed awkwardly again.
Xiao Ying took out the gifts for them. The silk scarf was for Cheng Ya and the bracelet was for Mother Cheng.
Zhou Ya was naturally happy with the gift. She said, “This punk has never thought of giving me anything. Ying’er is much more likable.”
She instantly went from calling her Xiao Ying to calling her Ying’er.
Xiao Ying naturally knew that Cheng Ya was not coveting the silk scarf, she was supporting her.
She looked over at her gratefully.
This made the smile on Cheng Ya’s face more sincere.
Mother Cheng threw the box on the table without looking at it, but she didn’t dare to say anything either.
The family started eating lunch. At the dining table, Mother Cheng put on a sour face, but the three of them ignored her.
Cheng Ya and Xiao Ying were engrossed in conversation.
Although Cheng Yang did not like to talk, he would interject occasionally and add food to Xiao Ying’s bowl from time to time.
