Chapter 668: Public Display of Love: Forget Chuan is Mrs. Shen (13)
Thus, she hadn’t had the normal feeling that Xia Nuanuan had.
When she gave it a thought, she realized that it was pretty amazing.
Qiao Lian lowered her head and laughed. Then, she patted Xia Nuannuan’s shoulder and said, “Ok, there’s no use to think so much. You should be happy today as it’s your big day. But, have you told your parents about it?”
Xia Nuannuan immediately nodded. “Yes, I’ve told them. They said that they’ve bought tickets for today to meet Mr. Shen’s… Zihao’s parents.”
Qiao Lian nodded and replied, “Right. A marriage is a matter that concerns two families. After they meet, they can also discuss the planning for the wedding and other related matters.”
Xia Nuannuan nodded, but she didn’t feel the happiness from her imminent marriage. Instead, she was feeling burdened.
Xia Nuannuna bit her lips and sighed heavily after a while.
In the end, Qiao Lian chose a pink dress with a collared shirt underneath and a blue coat over both for Xia Nuannuan. Xia Nuannuan looked as if she was a delicate princess, gentle and neat.
Qiao Lian nodded with satisfaction and helped her put on light makeup. Then, they both proceeded downstairs.
But Xia Yehua was still walking around downstairs with her walking stick.
Although she still had to rely on the walking stick to move around, she was able to walk much more smoothly now.
When she heard that Xia Nuannuan was pregnant yesterday, she had been so excited that she ran from the first floor up to the second.
After seeing them as she turned her head and noticing Xia Nuannuan, she immediately broke into a smile. “Xia Nuannuan looks really good in these clothes!”
Xia Nuannuan had used to feel at ease when facing Xia Yehua, but now she felt kind of embarrassed.
Thus, she lowered her head and her face immediately turned red. “Thank you, Aunt Xia.”
“Why are you still addressing me as Auntie? From today onwards, you have to change and call me Mom!”
Xia Nuannuan’s eyes lit up and her face turned redder.
Xia Yehua took a step forward and withdrew the red packet[1.Red packets or red envelopes are used East Asian societies as a monetary present] she had prepared from her pocket. She stuffed it into Xia Nuannuan’s hands and said, “Here, this is the red packet I prepared for you! It’s inconvenient for me to go out and buy your wedding gift, so I can only slack off and give you a red packet.”
Xia Nuannuan wanted to reject it but Xia Yehua continued saying, “You can’t reject a gift from your elder!”
Xia Nuannuan held onto the red packet and nodded with red eyes.
The three of them sat in the living room.
To ease Xia Nuannuan’s anxiety, Qiao Lian remarked, “Hurry up and open the red packet, and see how much Mom gave you!”
After saying so, she looked up at Xia Yehua and added, “Why did I not get such treatment when I got married then?”
Xia Yehua laughed and said, “I wanted to beat you up back then, you still want a red packet?”
After hearing her words, Qiao Lian suddenly recalled the embarrassing incident at the start.
Xia Yehua and her had spoken ill of each other, only to realize in the end that she was her daughter-in-law and Xia Yehua was her mother-in-law.
Now that she recalled that incident, it was really funny.
Qiao Lian stuck her tongue out and said, “Mom, you can’t be so biased about your second daughter-in-law! I’m your first one. You can’t forget the old one after getting a new one!”
Xia Yehua laughed. “Ok, ok. I will give you one during the Chinese New Year!”
Qiao Lian was only satisfied then, as she said, “Sure, I’ll remember it.”
As the three women were talking, they finally heard the sound of the car engine coming from outside the villa.
Qiao Lian’s eyes lit up and she looked at Xia Nuannuan immediately. “Shen Zihao is here!”
Xia Nuannuan’s face immediately flushed red.
