Chapter 420

"I'm very happy, it's just that I've gotten a tan."

Shu Xia replied with a beaming smile.

She hadn't noticed it while in K City, but after the plane landed and she went to the airport restroom, she realized she had tanned.

She hadn't made any deliberate effort to use sunscreen.

"Not dark at all, not dark at all. Xia Xia was fair to begin with, so even with a tan, you still look fairer than everyone else." Qiao Nainai felt happy no matter how she looked at Shu Xia.

She had visited an old friend's house these past few days and seen their grandsons' wives.

Truly, not a single one of them could compare to Xia Xia.

To say nothing else, just in terms of looks, they weren't as pretty as Xia Xia.

"Mu Ting, don't you agree?" Qiao Nainai asked Qiao Muting, who had been silent on the side for a long time.

Her grandson was good at everything, except for his unlikable personality.

Just look at this brooding, reserved manner of his; if he scared Xia Xia away, she would never hear the end of it from her!

Qiao Muting's dark eyes swept over, looking at Shu Xia's fair and delicate skin, and he agreed with his grandmother's statement: "Grandmother is right."

Shu Xia didn't care much about how much she had tanned; going to a coastal city to play, getting a tan was just proof that she had enjoyed herself to the fullest.

"I bought some local specialties for Grandmother, I'll go get them." Shu Xia just remembered the specialties she had bought.

It was her first time going out to play, and she felt that the best way to represent her sincerity was through local specialties.

Qiao Nainai's heart warmed, "Xia Xia is still the best to Grandmother, thinking of Grandmother even while out playing."

She had seen local specialties from everywhere, but it was Xia Xia's kind intentions that were the most important.

Thinking of this, she glared at her unlikable grandson again, "How many places have you been to? Have you ever said you'd bring me any specialties? Learn a thing or two from Xia Xia."

Qiao Muting, who had been inexplicably looked down upon again, twitched the corner of his mouth.

In his view, was there anything Grandmother wanted that she couldn't have?

As for these domestic specialties, hadn't Grandmother already grown tired of eating them?

As for foreign ones, Grandmother didn't care for them.

His deep gaze swept toward Shu Xia once more; she made him understand a principle: often, the item itself isn't important, what's important is the intention.

After the two of them accompanied Qiao Nainai for dinner, they stayed the night directly at Laozhai.

The next day, they returned to Xinghai Villa, and after Qiao Muting changed his clothes, he went straight to work.

Meanwhile, Shu Xia drove her little car to see Jiang Ye.

"Why did you buy so many? It must have been too heavy to carry all the way back." Seeing the local specialties, the first thing Jiang Ye thought of was whether it was heavy.

Shu Xia said with a smile, "I specifically brought a large suitcase, and I took a car the whole way there and back. I checked it in as soon as I got to the airport, so it wasn't heavy, Mom."

Today, Shu Hong was teaching classes and staying at the school.

Shu Xuan had a heavy workload recently and hadn't been home these past few days either.

Shu Chen had taken on several roles, and with the roles having more and more scenes, he practically lived on set and was completely nowhere to be seen.

There was only Jiang Ye at home, "Mom, that apartment of mine will be handed over in three months. Once it's renovated, let's just cancel the lease here."
