Chapter 700 [Extra] Raising a Wife for Someone Else
Even Sheng Ning’an, who was thick-skinned, felt a bit embarrassed by the excessive compliments.
He hurriedly took out the gift he had prepared for Mother Xu and handed it to her, saying, "Aunt, this is the gift I picked out for you."
"You’re too polite, just coming over is enough, why bring a gift?" Mother Xu said with a smile as she took it.
Sheng Ning’an replied, "It’s only right, I picked it out myself and I hope you like it, Aunt."
Mother Xu patted her hand and said, "I trust your taste, Aunt is sure to like whatever you choose."
"What is it, why not open it and let us have a look?" the relatives around teased.
"Exactly, see how much you’ve praised him, let us see what wonderful thing the future daughter-in-law has brought you?"
"If you ask me, as long as it’s from the future daughter-in-law, no matter what it is, she will like it."
"You’re right, the fact that this girl could come is the best gift of all." Mother Xu herself was not particularly interested in the gift, but everyone insisted on seeing it.
"That’s true, but we are just curious, let us take a look, it’s not like we can make your gift disappear!"
A trace of difficulty flashed across Mother Xu’s face, she glanced at Sheng Ning’an instinctively, and seeing him smile at her without looking upset, she then said with a laugh, "All right, I’ll show it to you."
Mother Xu then unwrapped the gift.
Aunt Xu glanced at it and exclaimed in disappointment, "It’s just a scarf!" She had expected something more luxurious.
