A foreign city, dear you

After hearing what they said, Lanshan suddenly stood up and ran into the room. After a while, he took out a painting and said it was a birthday gift for his father.

Every year, whether it's his father's birthday or his mother's birthday, Lanshan will draw a picture as a birthday gift.

Cao Xueqian was naturally very happy and praised Lanshan's paintings and praised Lanshan for being a filial and sensible child since he was a child.

Lan Shan was so happy with the praise that she clinked glasses with her father and drank all the coconut juice in one gulp.

"Dad, I want more!" Lan Shan said to Cao Xueqian holding the empty cup.

"Okay! Have a good drink tonight, and I will take more 100 points back as a birthday gift for my father." Cao Xueqian said, filling up Lan Shan's cup and giving Lan Shan a chicken wing.

"Okay!" Lanshan's voice was crisp. As long as he had a drink, he would probably agree to any request.

……

After the family has finished eating and eating birthday cake, Cao Xueqian's birthday is over.

In fact, the birthday cake was not touched at all.

Lanshan drank too much coconut juice and ate a lot of ribs and chicken wings, and he couldn't eat anymore.

Ye Lian doesn't like sweets.

Cao Xueqian also said he was too full.

Every time there is a birthday, the function of the birthday cake is to let everyone sing happy birthday and make the birthday more ritualistic, but it is basically wasted.

Birthday cake is one of those things that people know they want to waste but feel they are indispensable.

Dinner was already late, and by the time Ye Lian finished cleaning up the dining table and kitchen, it was already getting late.

Ye Lian urges Lanshan to go to bed early, saying that he has to go to school tomorrow.

Ye Lian gave Lan Shan instructions and walked to the bedroom. When passing by the sofa, she saw the paper bag that Cao Xueqian brought back.

"What is this?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian, pointing to the paper bag.

"A wallet." Cao Xueqian said.

"Wallet? What does it look like?" Ye Lian asked.

"I don't know either, I haven't watched it yet." Cao Xueqian said truthfully.

"You don't know?" Ye Lian wondered: "Didn't you buy it yourself?"

"I didn't say I bought it myself." Cao Xueqian smiled.

"Who is that? Cheng Yufei?" Ye Lian guessed.

"No, it's another colleague you don't know." Cao Xueqian said lightly.

"Oh." Ye Lian didn't think much and asked, "Then you don't want to take a look?"

"Take a look. If appropriate, take it and use it." Cao Xueqian said and walked to the bathroom.

"Should I use it?" Ye Lian felt it was inappropriate: "Isn't this bad? You give me something that someone else gave you?"

Cao Xueqian was about to brush his teeth and talked to Ye Lian from a distance: "What's wrong with that? What's mine is yours."

After hearing this, Ye Lian said, "Then let me help you take a look first."

Ye Lian carried the paper bag into the bedroom and took out a black box from the paper bag.

Ye Lian opened the box and saw the long plaid clutch wallet.

The first thing that attracted Ye Lian was not the wallet itself, but the bow.

The bow was not squeezed in the box and was still very delicate and beautiful.

A pair of big "wings" and a pair of small "wings" seem to be flying and dancing.

The small, even circles made of ribbons look like waves or vines.

Intuitively, a pair of hands immediately appeared in front of Ye Lian's eyes, a pair of dexterous hands, a pair of dexterous hands of a woman.

Ye Lian also felt that these dexterous hands seemed to have put a lot of careful thought into the bow...

When Ye Lian saw this bow, she didn't know whether to take it apart.

"What are you thinking about? Look at your dazed look." After Cao Xueqian finished washing, he also came to the bedroom. Seeing Ye Lian's dazed look, he asked her with a smile.

"I'm admiring this bow." Ye Lian still looked at the bow without looking up.

"Oh? And a bow tie?" Cao Xueqian also saw the bow tie at this time, and was a little surprised.

"Don't you know?" Ye Lian asked.

"Didn't I tell you? I haven't seen it yet." Cao Xueqian said, and then asked: "Is there anything special about this bow?"

"Nothing." Ye Lian said lightly.

Here, Ye Lian's heart took eighteen twists and turns.

Due to a woman's sensitivity, she felt that the meaning of this wallet was unusual.

But she wasn't sure. She had to slowly get the words out of Cao Xueqian's mouth, but she couldn't reveal her true thoughts yet.

The bow was pretty, but she couldn't praise it. If you praise it, doesn't it mean that the woman giving the gift is very capable and she herself is very stupid?

"Is this colleague who gave you the wallet a man or a woman?" Ye Lian asked.

This is Ye Lian's first trick. She wants to judge whether Cao Xueqian is honest from his answer.

"Female." Cao Xueqian replied without hesitation.

It was indeed a woman, just as I had guessed. The fact that he answered so quickly and so honestly showed that he had nothing wrong with him.

"Why did he give you a gift?" Ye Lian asked again.

This was Ye Lian's second trick. She wanted to know if the woman had a valid reason for giving the gift.

"She said it was a birthday gift, and then she said thank you for taking care of her." Cao Xueqian said truthfully.

Although Cao Xueqian's words were as plain as water, the word "take care of" already made Ye Lian feel jealous.

"Then why do you take care of her?" Ye Lian pretended not to care and asked again.

Ye Lian originally planned a routine, but slowly, it turned into a rush of words and problems.

"I am the deputy project manager, and it is my responsibility to lead my subordinates well."

There seems to be nothing wrong with Cao Xueqian's answer.

"Isn't she young and pretty?"

Ye Lian remained calm, but there was a faint worry and fear in her heart about the answer to this question.

Because, she felt that time had slowly left her young and beautiful. If the girl giving the wallet is young and beautiful, you will be at a disadvantage.

"More than 20 years old." Cao Xueqian told the truth: "I don't know if you are beautiful or not. Anyway, in my eyes you are the most beautiful."

Ye Lian was originally worried when she heard "in her twenties", but was amused by Cao Xueqian's next words.

But after laughing, she became worried again.

Next to Qian, there was a little girl in her twenties, and she felt that the little girl's eyes should always be on Qian's body.

Ye Lian's heart felt a chill, a threat, and a crisis out of thin air.

"Mom!" Lanshan called.

Ye Lian went to Lanshan's room with her thoughts on her mind.

It turned out that Lanshan was going to bed and asked Ye Lian to help turn off the lights.

Ye Lian helped Lanshan turn off the light, closed the door, and returned to the bedroom.

Cao Xueqian had already untied the bow and was looking at the wallet, looking outside and inside.

Seeing Ye Lian come in, Cao Xueqian said: "This wallet is very elegant, and it is very convenient to store things in it. It can really be used by you."
