Chapter 305 Who can refuse such a daughter-in-law?
It took a little over twenty minutes to get home from the airport.
Along the way, Ye Xian, who was sitting in the backseat, kept asking Ning Xi all sorts of questions with an enthusiasm that was a bit over the top.
However, Ning Xi didn't find it annoying. On the contrary, she felt that Ye Xian was quite approachable, and without realizing it, the nervousness she had been feeling gradually began to ease.
Ye Fan noticed this through the rearview mirror, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
When the car stopped in the yard, the four of them got out.
Ye Xian was just about to pull Ning Xi into the house when Ye Fan stopped her.
"Mom, Xiao Xi and I haven't eaten yet. Did you prepare any ingredients?"
Ye Xian was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead, "Oh dear, I was too focused on setting up Xiao Xi's room and completely forgot about the groceries. Why don't you show Xiao Xi around the house first? Your uncle and I will go out to buy some food. Don't worry, we'll be back soon."
Ye Fan had already anticipated this and smiled as he said, "Mom, how about I go with you instead? I know what Xiao Xi likes to eat. Let Uncle stay home with her for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a small hand tug on the corner of his shirt. Turning his head, he saw Ning Xi looking up at him with big, pleading eyes.
Clearly, the girl wasn't happy with Ye Fan's arrangement.
In an unfamiliar environment, she just wanted to quietly follow Ye Fan around like his little shadow and didn't want to be apart from him even for a moment.
Ye Fan patted Ning Xi's head and said gently with a smile, "Xiao Xi, relax. Uncle is a very kind person. And I'll be back very soon. There's a market nearby—it won't take long. Be good, okay?"
This morning, the little girl hadn't eaten anything. On the plane, Ye Fan had wanted her to eat something, but she had fallen asleep right away.
This was Ning Xi's first meal of the day, and also the first meal she would have at his house. Ye Fan didn't want to be careless about it, which was why he made the suggestion.
"…Mm, then hurry back."
Ning Xi's cheeks turned red. Doing something so intimate in front of Ye Fan's parents made her feel a wave of uncontrollable shyness.
Seeing this, Ye Xian broke into a wide grin and quickly signaled to her husband with a look, "Don't just stand there, take Xiao Xi to her room and start the rice cooker. Xiao Fan and I will be back soon."
"No problem."
Luo Shan responded cheerfully and said kindly to Ning Xi, "Xiao Xi, treat this place like your own home. Come, Uncle will show you your room. Your aunt put a lot of effort into decorating it for you."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Ning Xi nodded politely and reluctantly glanced at Ye Fan before following Luo Shan into the house.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Xian gave her son a firm pat on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Fan, not bad!"
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth twitched. "Mom, your son has always been great. You just didn't know it before."
Ye Xian laughed happily like a child and hooked her arm through her son's as they headed toward the market outside the neighborhood.
In the bedroom.
Luo Shan put down the suitcase and said to Ning Xi behind him, "Xiao Xi, this is your room. When your aunt heard you were coming to Linhai, she worked really hard on it. I don't know if you'll like it."
Ning Xi looked at the bedroom in front of her. It was neither too big nor too small. The walls were covered with pink wallpaper, and there was a vanity, a computer, everything one might need. Especially on the bedside table in the center of the room, there were all kinds of plush dolls. The floor was covered with a brand-new rug, also in a soft pink hue.
The overall style was very cozy.
She raised her delicate hand and took off her mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. She smiled politely and said softly, "Uncle, I like it very much."
Luo Shan was momentarily dazed. At that moment, he finally understood why his wife had praised this girl so highly.
The girl's appearance was just too… delicate and flawless—she was unbelievably beautiful.
Combined with her soft voice and quiet, gentle demeanor, she was the kind of girl no one could dislike.
However, Luo Shan only glanced once before looking away, a smile appearing on his face.
"Xiao Xi, take your time unpacking. I'll go to the kitchen and start the rice. When you're done, come to the living room. Xiao Fan said you like lemon water—Uncle will make you a cup."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
"Not at all, not at all."
Luo Shan quickly waved his hand, turned, and left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
As the door closed, he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Wife, I finally understand you!"
A daughter-in-law like this—who could refuse?
No one could!!!
After Luo Shan left, Ning Xi let out a sigh of relief. She walked over and sat on the bed, curiously looking around the room.
After a while, she began unpacking her clothes and daily necessities. After ten or so minutes, when she saw the wardrobe full of clothes, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
She was only planning to stay in Linhai for ten days, yet her mother had packed over twenty outfits for her?
That was way too much!
What was even more frustrating was that she didn't like any of them.
All the clothes had one thing in common: they were of the ladylike variety.
Her usual style was more casual—she didn't care much about the design, focusing more on comfort. So she often wore looser clothing or dresses.
Thinking about how she would have to wear these clothes for the next ten days, a trace of bitterness appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.
After she finished unpacking, Ning Xi picked up her phone and called her mother.
"Xiao Xi, ten minutes ago, I just got a call from Xiao Fan. Look at you—not as thoughtful as Xiao Fan. You should've called me earlier so I wouldn't worry!"
"Mom, I called you as soon as I had time, and you're still scolding me? If I had known this, I wouldn't have called at all!"
Laughter came through the phone from Lan Xi. "Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. Enjoy your time in Linhai. Mom hopes you have lots of fun."
As soon as she said that, the call was disconnected.
Ning Xi stared blankly at the phone as the beep of the hang-up tone sounded, and her pink lips pouted. "Seriously, I wasn't even done talking. Why hang up so fast? Hmph!"
She was feeling a bit thirsty and remembered what Luo Shan had said earlier, so she got up and walked out of the bedroom.
When she got to the living room, she heard rustling sounds coming from the kitchen. She quietly made her way to the kitchen door and saw Luo Shan busy inside. She sweetly called out, "Uncle, I've finished unpacking. Is there anything I can help with?"
Luo Shan immediately waved his hands. "No, no, Xiao Xi, just go sit on the couch. The lemon water is already chilling. It'll be ready in a few minutes. I'll be done here soon."
Ning Xi didn't insist and obediently walked over to the sofa and sat down, her eyes darting around curiously.
A few minutes later, Luo Shan brought a cup of water over and placed it in front of her. "Here, have some lemon water."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Ning Xi took the cup with both hands and took a small sip. Her delicate brows knitted slightly.
This lemon water...
Doesn't taste good...
