Pear in a thermos

Li Xiliang agreed readily at the time, but when he looked back, his heart began to beat.

The last time I saw Xie Yan's second brother, the two of them still had a 'pure' physical relationship, and Li Xiliang was not particularly nervous in the heart of abiding by the agreement.

But this time it wasn't just Xie Yan's parents who met, their relationship was also a real love relationship, which made him worry over and over again.

Xie Yan could see it, but every time he wanted to push the matter away, Li Xiliang's attitude was very firm, and he refused to admit that he was nervous, so Xie Yan could only try to distract him with other things.

After dinner on Saturday morning, the two drove to Xiangcheng.

This trip was a family banquet, and they came back that day, so they didn't bring anyone with them. Xie Yan drove and arrived at the destination in two hours.

Although it is the place where Li Xiliang grew up, he is not as familiar with this city as Xie Yan.After all, he hasn't been back here for nearly ten years since his debut. At the beginning, he was busy with work when he first arrived in the capital, and later he fell out with his family, so he came back even less.

Xiangcheng's economy has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and the city's construction is also changing with each passing day, which is very different from what it looks like in memory.

"Where does your family live?" Xie Yan asked him casually while driving on the wide streets of the city.

"I used to live in Chaohu, but I bought an old house there. I just know that the community they live in is called Rose Bay, but I don't know where it is. My sister and my parents moved there the year before last, and I haven't been back. "Li Xiliang said.

"I'm not familiar with this place either. If there's nothing else to do in the afternoon, I'll take you out for a walk."

Li Xiliang knew what he meant, but he didn't intend to go and see, so he changed the subject and said, "Don't you have a villa here?"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me." Xie Yan laughed, "You can also go for a walk in the afternoon. My brother did the decoration together. I think the design is not as good as the house in H City."

"How many villas do you have?" Li Xiliang looked at him speechlessly.

"Only these three, the one in Xiangcheng was given by my elder brother, and the one in Guodu and H city was bought by myself. It's gone, and it's all yours now." Xie Yan said with a smile, "In two days Let me count the property and hand it over to you for review."

"No need." Li Xiliang rebuffed, "I'll just ask."

"Mine belonged to you." Xie Yan seemed to think of something suddenly after speaking, "I haven't given you the salary card yet! So I really have to ask Brother Ning which one is my salary card."

"...No." Li Xiliang glared at him, "Don't take advantage of me!"

"..."

Taking advantage... Xie Yan had to react for a while before getting over his strength. He really felt that Li Xiliang's thinking circuit was often a bit behind him.

"Ms. Li, don't you think there is something missing between the two of us now?" Xie Yan said suddenly.

"what?"

"Evidence of falling in love?" Xie Yan analyzed solemnly, "Look, we are both together now, but what is the difference before I confessed my love?"

Xie Yan continued to analyze, "Look, it's still living together, eating together, sleeping together, working together, meeting parents together, what's the difference?"

"...If you want to say that, there is really no difference." Li Xiliang felt that his train of thought had been completely taken astray. Although he always felt that something was wrong, it sounded very reasonable.

"So, we need something to prove our love. For example, if I give you my salary card, you can give me yours too. That's fair." Xie Yan walked back solemnly.

"..." Li Xiliang was silent for a moment, "What do you want to prove? Wouldn't it be more convenient to buy a couple ring and necklace?"

Xie Yan was at a loss for words for a while, and glanced at him sideways, admiring him sincerely, "...Senior is a senior after all."

Li Xiliang:? ? ?

The car turned into the underground parking lot of the hotel.

This is a commercial style street in the middle of a high-end residential area. There are small buildings with two or three floors, various hotels and cafes with literary and petty bourgeois temperament, and there are many preschool education centers, beauty salons and the like. It looks like it serves the neighborhood. of the rich.

This is a very stylish western restaurant, because it is not convenient for Xie Yan and Li Xiliang to show their faces, so Xie Yan's elder brother booked the entire restaurant early in the morning.

As soon as the two went up to the second floor, they saw a tall and handsome man chasing a four or five-year-old boy, "Chenchen, stop!"

The little boy swished and hid behind a chair, "Dad, please, I want to go to the naughty castle! My little friend is playing there!"

"You can only go after eating!"

"But I'm not hungry!"

"Come over here? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" the man threatened.

"Dad, you are the most handsome, please!"

"What is this for?" Xie Yan asked with a smile.

The man heard the sound and looked over, with surprise on his expression, "Xiaoyan? You're here so soon? This is Mr. Li, right?"

Li Xiliang hurriedly greeted him politely.

"My boyfriend, Li Xiliang." After Xie Yan finished speaking, he introduced to Li Xiliang, "This is my elder brother, Huai Zhen. That little one is my nephew, Huai Yuchen."

Hearing his name, the little guy got out from behind the chair, and as soon as he saw Xie Yan, he rushed over excitedly with short legs, "Little uncle!"

Xie Yan smiled and picked up the little boy, "Chenchen has grown up."

"He's shopping, hurry up and go in to eat, this brat is thinking about playing." Huai Zhen took the child from Xie Yan's arms, and led them to the private room.

Li Xiliang tugged at his clothes a little nervously, cleared his throat, and then followed the two into the private room.

There were only three people in the room, two middle-aged couples who looked very young, and a beautiful pregnant woman with a big belly. This pregnant woman was probably Xie Yan's sister-in-law. When she saw Huai Zhen coming in, she said helplessly, "Chen Chen , run around again, and mother will not take you out to play in the future."

"Let's go, Xiaoyan and Mr. Li are here." Huaiqian put the child down and introduced with a smile.

Xie Yan introduced it again, Li Xiliang also said hello very politely, and handed over the gift prepared for Xie Yan's family.

This eldest brother Huai Zhen does not look very similar to his second brother Huai Qian, but he is very similar to his father, who is a stable and mature man.

Li Xiliang knew that Xie Yan and the Huai family were not related by blood, and there was no similarity in appearance.But apart from the amber pupils like those of a mixed-race child, he does not look similar to his mother. Xie Yan's mother looks very soft and beautiful, but the elegant temperament in her gestures is exactly the same as Xie Yan's.

At the dinner table, the family's conversations were very polite, and they didn't ask many questions to Li Xiliang, they just cared about whether the food suits their appetite or not. It seemed that they really just came for a meal.

In the past few days, Li Xiliang, who was in a bad situation, had read a lot on the Internet about the problems that a son-in-law might encounter when meeting his mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.

"Mom, Mom, I want to go to play in the naughty castle, I have finished eating obediently, please." The little guy begged pitifully beside his mother in a low voice.

Naturally, being a mother couldn't bear it, so she had to smile apologetically at Li Xi, "Mom and Dad, Chenchen is making a fuss here, I'll take him out to play for a while."

Xie Mu suddenly said, "You rest, I'll take him there." She stood up and looked at Li Xiliang, "Why don't Xiliang go with me?"

Suddenly caught by the cue, Li Xiliang was taken aback, and subconsciously responded, "Oh good."

Xie Yan frowned upon hearing this, "I'll go with you."

"You stay here, Dad and your brother still have something to talk to you about," Xie Mu said with a smile, "Why, are you afraid that I'll eat him?"

Li Xiliang teased Xie Yan secretly, and gave him a reassuring look, "I'll just go with my aunt."

As he spoke, he got up and opened the door for Xie's mother who was holding the child.

Xie Yan originally followed to the door, but seeing Li Xiliang shaking his head at him, he had no choice but to tap his phone, signaling that Li Xiliang would call him sometimes, but he didn't follow after all.

Li Xiliang followed behind the elegant and noble lady who was holding the child, and she was not so nervous at the moment.

Let's talk about it alone, the good and the bad are all because we don't want to embarrass Xie Yan, so there's nothing we can't handle.

The little boy seemed to be very interested in Li Xiliang, and looked back at him frequently. When Li Xiliang smiled at him friendly, the other party suddenly became shy and hid beside his grandma.

"There are some things I want to talk to you alone, but don't be nervous. That child Xie Yan has been very righteous since he was a child, and I can't control it. Besides, I don't intend to be an idiot to him or my two stepsons. You're a bad mother-in-law." The elegant woman slowed down her pace slightly, and looked at Li Xiliang with a smile.

Li Xiliang smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this sentence.

"First of all, I would like to apologize to you. Because of curiosity and concern for my son, I asked someone to investigate you briefly. I hope you don't mind." Mother Xie continued, "I think you should know that although I have three sons in name, But only Xie Yan is my own."

"...It doesn't matter." Anyway, he didn't do anything harmful to the world, so he has nothing to worry about.

"Before New Year's Day, he asked Qian'er to be a lobbyist. At that time, I guessed that he was serious. Of course, no mother would want her child to like the same sex, so I'm afraid there is no way for me to have an immediate reaction to you." Good impression, I believe you can understand, after all, I also know that your mother's opposition is very fierce."

Li Xiliang's expression darkened. Indeed, compared to his own mother, Xie's mother's attitude was already very gentle. Besides, he didn't expect the other party to have such enthusiastic expectations for him. "I can understand, I'm sorry. .”

"It's unnecessary to be sorry. Since you like each other, you don't have to feel sorry for anyone. Your life is your own, and the people you spend your life with are also chosen by you. No one has the right to interfere." Xie mother smiled softly, "I just Said that I can't treat you as my son right away, but I respect my son's choice, and I will try to accept you as my family slowly in the days to come."

Li Xiliang looked at her in surprise, and said after a while, "Thank you."

"I have experienced many things in my life, and I have met all kinds of people. You are not the kind of child who has scheming and ulterior motives. Of course, I also believe in Xie Yan's vision, and no matter whether he chooses right or wrong, it is him himself. Be responsible for your own life, and you too." Mother Xie touched the little guy with a confused face, "I hope you will not regret today's choice in the future."

Li Xi laughed coldly, his eyes were sincere, "I believe I won't."

Li Xiliang is not a person who likes to think about the future, but he has thought about him and Xie Yan a lot, far away.

Much more than about yourself.

The two of them had already reached the first floor while they were talking. Li Xiliang noticed when they came up that there happened to be an early education center next door, and the naughty castle that the children talked about must be there.

"It's not convenient for you to show up, I'll just take him there, you go back, I see you didn't eat much just now." Xie Mu said.

"It's okay, I'll accompany you." As Li Xiliang said, he took out the mask he carried with him from his pocket, put it on, and buttoned the hood of his coat, explaining, "Everyone in our business needs to prepare some masks when going out. Outfit."

Mother Xie seemed to find it interesting, and slightly bent her pair of amber eyes that were somewhat similar to Xie Yan, "Okay then."

The early education center seems to be in class, and there are not many people in the huge children's play facility as soon as you enter the door.

The kid ran in like having fun, and Li Xiliang couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He quickly found the little buddy he was talking about from among the kids who were playing, a girl who was about his age.

Li Xiliang took a closer look, and suddenly froze.

That little girl looks familiar no matter how she looks, I really think...is it his niece?

"Little Hibiscus?" Li Xiliang moved closer and called out tentatively.

The little girl who had just met her little friend immediately followed the sound and looked over, as if she didn't recognize Li Xiliang, her eyes were a little dazed.

Li Xiliang took off his mask, "Xiao Jin, I'm my little uncle."

"Ah! Little uncle!" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately recognized the person, then she turned to the other direction and shouted excitedly, "Mom! It's little uncle!"

Li Xiliang quickly put on the mask, and sure enough, she saw a familiar long-haired woman on the other side of the amusement facility.

When the woman saw him, she obviously recognized him at a glance, her pair of phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Li Xiliang's, bent into two crescent moons, and hurried around with her bag.

"Your family?" Mother Xie behind her also said unexpectedly.

"Ah, yes, I didn't expect such a coincidence, this is my sister." Li Xiliang also explained to Xie Mu in surprise.

"Xiliang!" Li Xiliang's elder sister trotted over, giving her younger brother a warm hug with surprise and excitement on her face, "When did you come back? Why didn't you say hello? I haven't seen you for a long time gone."

"I... came here for dinner with my boyfriend," Li Xiliang finally came back to his senses, and introduced with some embarrassment, "This is my boyfriend's mother, and this is my sister, Li Xiya."

"Hello, Auntie." My sister quickly greeted her respectfully, and said with a smile, "It's such a coincidence, why did I meet you here?"

"I am Chenchen's grandma, and you are Xiaojin's mother?" Mother Xie was also a little surprised.

"Ah, you are Chenchen's grandma? Hey, what a coincidence, the two children often play together, and Chenchen's mother and I will occasionally bring the children out for gatherings. How is she doing recently? There are now seven How many months?"

"Yeah, it's good. We had dinner next door just now, and she was here too." Mother Xie smiled a little more kindly when she heard that.

Li Xiliang was also pleasantly surprised and surprised, this kind of coincidence is really fate.

"Grandma, it's little uncle! Mom is at little uncle's place." The little girl's crisp cry came from behind, but Li Xiliang froze instantly.

The elder sister's face also changed, and she lowered her voice, "Oh, I forgot to say, Mom went to the toilet."

Li Xiliang turned her head, and suddenly saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, standing not far away, looking at him with a slight frown.

Li Xiliang looks very much like her mother. Although Li's mother is getting older and a little fat, it is not difficult to see her beauty when she was young.It's just that there is a bit of an unruly aura between his brows, and he has a temper at first glance.

"...Mom." Li Xiliang unconsciously became weaker by three points. If he had known that his mother was here, he would never have greeted his little niece just now.

Li's mother walked over, frowned at him, and said directly, "Who told you to come?"

Before Li Xiliang could answer, Xie's mother at the side suddenly said, "Is it Xiliang's mother?"

"you are?"

"I am Xie Yan's mother."

Naturally, Mother Li had heard of this name before, and her gaze shot straight at Li Xiliang like a sharp knife.

Li Xiliang couldn't help feeling chills down his spine, and swallowed subconsciously.

What kind of large Shura field is this!
