Chapter 1658: Wanting to Introduce You to My Family

~7 min read 1,307 words

Xie Wanyi said indifferently, "I'd better not disturb you."

"It doesn't matter. The people who came today are all my mother's friends. Everyone is very kind, and besides..."

Jiang Motian fell silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "I want to introduce my friend to my mother!"

At this moment, Jiang Motian was smiling, her eyes very bright.

In the depths of her eyes, there was nothing but openness.

By comparison, Xie Wanyi was a monster living in a dark swamp, unable to see the light from the inside out...

The look in Xie Wanyi's eyes changed several times, and then, he raised a smile: "Then I will intrude."

"Why be so polite? My parents will definitely like you!"

Jiang Motian excitedly led Xie Wanyi inside.

At this time, quite a few people had already arrived in the living room.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

When everyone noticed two people entering the doorway, they turned their heads to look.

The moment they saw them, everyone had the same thought: what a golden boy and jade girl!

It must be said, Xie Wanyi and Jiang Motian looked very well-matched standing together.

It was as if they were a match made in heaven.

But the next instant, everyone felt a different taste in their hearts.

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue saw their daughter walking over with a man, and surprise flashed in their eyes.

Xie Wanyi put down the cake and was dragged by Jiang Motian in front of Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue.

Then, he heard Jiang Motian smilingly introduce: "Mom and Dad, this is the first friend I made after coming back, Xie Wanyi!"

Hearing this introduction, several of the gazes that had fallen on Xie Wanyi changed slightly.

Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with caution.

As for Liu Xin'ai, her gaze was complex, her thoughts sinking slightly.

As for Li Moning... she had stars in her eyes, feeling that her sister's friend was a bit handsome!

No, very handsome!

Jiang Baobao unobtrusively sized up Xie Wanyi and said with a kind smile, "So it's Tiantian's friend, welcome, welcome."

Xie Wanyi stood straight and said with a slight apology, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a birthday gift for you, Auntie, so I wish you health and that everything goes as you wish."

"Thank you. Gifts and such aren't actually important. I'm especially happy that Tiantian could make a new friend. Have a good time later, don't be constrained."

"Mm, okay."

Xie Wanyi smiled faintly.

This was his first time meeting Jiang Baobao, yet he could feel the gentle aura radiating from her.

That feeling was like the sea under moonlight, gently enveloping people, smoothing out the various miseries in one's heart without one even realizing it.

Xie Wanyi had said before that Jiang Motian's parents must be excellent.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case.

As for Li Beijue...

Xie Wanyi had heard of this figure.

Once, he was also a presence that could stir up the winds and clouds.

Although he no longer stirred up the winds and clouds now, the aura about him remained.

At this moment, he was sizing up Xie Wanyi with a sharp gaze.

Li Beijue couldn't help but be alert; after all, he was a boy, so he had to be on guard.

But Li Beijue watched for a while...

Yet he couldn't discern this young man's depth.

This made Li Beijue all the more alert.

After introducing Xie Wanyi to her parents, Jiang Motian took him to the garden to take a look.

The garden was planted with all kinds of rare flowers, beautiful beyond compare.

Of course, the main reason Jiang Motian brought Xie Wanyi here wasn't to admire the flowers, but because she knew he might feel uncomfortable in crowded places.

There were fewer people here, and they would go back once Xie Wanyi had adapted a bit.

But just in this short while, someone followed them secretly like a shadow.

Li Moning raised her hand and patted Xie Wanyi on the shoulder, then asked, "Are you really my sister's friend?"

Xie Wanyi turned his head back and smiled: "That's right."

If Xie Wanyi remembered correctly, she was the younger sister Jiang Motian had mentioned who was very clingy to her.

Now it seemed...

Just as Xie Wanyi was about to make a judgment in his heart, he heard Li Moning ask a question: "What do you do for a living?"

"A Security Guard at the company."

Xie Wanyi could finally state his profession openly and honestly.

Although it wasn't very prominent, his spine was held very straight.

Li Moning blinked her eyes and asked, "Do you feel very proud of it?"

These words were prone to ambiguity, so Jiang Motian whispered Li Moning's name, signaling her to restrain herself.

But Xie Wanyi felt it didn't matter.

He even answered Li Moning very seriously: "Yes, earning money by one's own ability is very honorable."

Li Moning thought for a moment, nodded in approval, and said, "That's true. If I could earn money, I wouldn't have to look at anyone's face even if I bought a hundred novels."

Buy one hundred novels?

This second young lady's pursuit... is truly simple.

Just as Xie Wanyi was lamenting this, Li Moning tossed out her second question: "What is so special about you that makes my sister look at you in a different light?"

"... It should be that we get along well."

"In that case, you must know which painter my sister likes, what she likes to eat, what sports she likes, and what she likes to play?"

This series of questions made Xie Wanyi fall silent.

He could not answer.

And his silence made Li Moning raise an eyebrow.

Her gaze revealed a sense of "so that's all there is to it."

At this moment, Jiang Motian stepped in to explain: "We haven't known each other for long; some things take time to learn."

"You're good friends without having known each other for long?"

Li Moning looked harmless, but the questions she asked... were truly sharp.

Xie Wanyi looked up and observed that this young lady was looking at him with a serious face, her eyes full of curiosity.

To prevent the atmosphere from becoming any more awkward, Jiang Motian said: "Um, Momo, there are delicious desserts inside; would you like to go eat some?"

"No, I want to talk to..." Li Moning forgot Xie Wanyi's name, so she asked, "What was your name again?"

"Xie Wanyi."

"Oh, I want to chat with Brother Wanyi."

When Li Moning spoke, her eyes curved into smiles.

The light in her eyes was very lively.

Xie Wanyi had seen many clever people.

Because they harbored ulterior motives, that cleverness became murky and unbearable.

But Li Moning was different.

She still carried innocence and purity about her.

Even when she was being smart-alecky, it was impossible to dislike her.

Just then, someone inside shouted: "It's time to cut the cake!"

Cut the cake?

Li Moning loved to join in the fun and didn't want to miss this part.

She urged Jiang Motian: "Let's go, sister, let's go back and cut the cake!"

"You go ahead, I'll wait a moment."

"Then you have to be quick, okay."

After saying this, Li Moning took the lead and trotted back.

Jiang Motian watched her lively retreating figure and sighed softly.

Then, she said to Xie Wanyi: "Sorry, my younger sister just has a very strong sense of curiosity."

"It's fine, the little girl is very cute."

Xie Wanyi did not want to hold it against her.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the living room, Li Xingyan saw Li Moning return alone and asked: "What's the situation outside?"
