Chapter 705: Chapter 702: The Joy that Twins Bring to the Elderly (2)
When her son was about to get his marriage certificate with Wen Xian, she said Wen Xian should already be pregnant.
She was so happy and excited back then, always thinking she was pregnant, only to eventually realize after such a long stay that Wen Xian might not be pregnant, but rather had been suffering from a stomach ailment during that period.
To tell the truth, to say she wasn’t disappointed then would be a lie, she longed to hold a grandson or a granddaughter so much it hurt.
The neighbor’s little girl was already about to start kindergarten.
But now...
Lu Xiao’s mother let out a soft sigh and then slowly said to Lu Xiao with resignation:
"Actually, I knew Xiaoxian wasn’t pregnant. Although your father and I are somewhat disappointed, this kind of thing can’t be rushed. Both of you are still young, and your father and I won’t pressure you, so making some nutritious things for you is only natural, but there’s no need to specifically say it’s for a pregnant woman..."
That would just be causing us, at our age, to have our moods go up and down for no reason.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao: "..."
His clear eyes shimmered slightly as he looked toward his mother, who had turned back to her busy work.
Lu Xiao’s mother shook her head again with resignation. Really, this child, causing her heart to race over something so unsubstantial, and he isn’t even ashamed!
Lu Xiao wanted to say something but then hesitated.
Because he remembered Wen Xian saying she wanted to give their parents a gift before they came back, so on the drive home, they stopped by a maternity and baby store.
Lu Xiao then left.
By evening, it was time for dinner.
Lu Xiao’s mother and the nanny had prepared a whole table full of delicious dishes.
When Wen Xian groggily woke up, she felt something tickling her cheek and neck. She squinted open her sleepy eyes and saw Lu Xiao bending over her, propping one hand by her head, tenderly kissing her.
He said, "Hungry, aren’t you? Come and eat something."
As soon as he spoke, Wen Xian’s stomach started to rumble loudly, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly covered her eyes with her hand.
"You go on ahead, remember to take out the gift for mom and dad," she said.
Then she threw off the covers, got out of bed, and started to get ready.
Lu Xiao, on the other hand, took out a neatly wrapped gift box the size of a laptop.
It had to be said, compared to what Wen Xian did, he really was too drab and boring.
He couldn’t think of these things at all.
When Wen Xian and Lu Xiao came out from the east wing, Lu Xiao was carrying the gift box.
Wen Xian, dressed in a white, loose-fitting shirt with casual elegance, wore a retro green long skirt and a pair of booties below. Her slightly curled long hair cascaded down, making her stunningly beautiful.
As they entered the main hall, the table had just been set with dishes.
Lu Xiao’s father was drinking tea on the sofa. When he saw the couple come in, especially when Wen Xian called him "Dad" with a smile, the normally stern old cadre’s gaze softened considerably.
"Sit down and eat, your trip must have been exhausting," said Lu Xiao’s father.
Lu Xiao’s mother had come out by then, and seeing them, Wen Xian smiled sweetly and said, "Dad, Mom, we’ve brought you a gift from our trip."
With that, she handed the beautiful gift box to Lu Xiao’s father and mother, seated in front of the sofa.
Lu Xiao’s mother, eyeing the exquisite box, exclaimed:
"There’s no need for all this among family. Your father and I don’t need anything, and you’re both so busy, there’s no need for gifts."
Unexpectedly, just after she spoke, Lu Xiao said, "No, you’re missing something."
"Nonsense!"
