Shi Xiu gave her a sweet smile, “That’s okay, Yun Nan. I’ll be happy to wait while you prepare my gift.”

Even Shi Yun couldn’t help but laugh at her daughter’s audacity and chided her, “You greedy imp!”

“Look at you, acting like a country bumpkin!” Shi Nian said disdainfully. “How embarrassing! ”

“She’s my sister-in-law. What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Shi Xiu stated gloatingly.

Seeing the siblings starting to argue again, Yun Nan smiled and offered,

“You’re welcome to visit my studio whenever you have time. You can meet the lady who makes these cheongsam samples there.”

Shi Xiu’s eyes lit up. “Really? Then, can I work in your studio?”

“What can you do aside from eating?” Shi Nian mocked.

Shi Xiu raised her hand and whacked her brother in retaliation. Yun Nan smiled as she watched them roughhouse.

Shi Yun fiddled with the brush in his hand happily as he mumbled, “My gift is great! Mine’s the best!” He’d received a pair of weasel hair brush pens with pure white marble handles—his favorite type of brush.

Yun Nan had prepared a fountain pen as a gift for Shi Nian’s brother—Shi Ke. Yun Nan softly confessed, “I don’t know what Big Brother liked, so I chose this pen. At least it’s practical.”

Shi Xiu took a photo of the pen with her phone. “Don’t worry, Yun Nan. Shi Ke will definitely like it. You don’t have to bother getting a gift for him next time.

Just get his wife something because my big brother is happy when she’s happy! ”

Shi Xiu sent the pictures of her big brother and sister-in-law’s gifts to them.

Then, she waved her phone and said, “Look, I just need to send it to our big sister-in-law—Xiang Yang. I don’t have to tell Shi Ke at all.”

Yun Nan also smiled. ‘It’s obvious that the men in the Shi family doted on their wives. Evely one of them married for love.’ At the thought, she turned to glance at Shi Nian. ‘This fellow is a little pitiful in comparison, but fortunately, we’ll only be tied in marriage for five years. When that time comes, Shi Nian can find a girl who truly loves him.’

“Yun Nan! Yun Nan, we’ve got you a gift too!” So saying, Shi Xiu grabbed Yun Nan and refused to let go. At this moment, a maid came in and reported, “The gift from the Eldest Young Madam to the Second Young Madam has arrived.”

Yun Nan was stunned. Shi Xiu smiled and remarked, “See, Yun Nan! Although she’s not home currently, Xiang Yang is with us in spirit.”

Shi Kong couldn’t watch her fool around any longer and lightly thumped her head. “Ow!” Shi Xiu cried.

“Don’t talk nonsense. You don’t want to get beat up by your big brother, do you?” Shi Kong lectured his granddaughter.

Shi Xiu stuck out her tongue and loudly whispered, “Shi Ke is unconditionally biased towards Xiang Yang. Grandpa is doing this for my own good.” Yun Nan couldn’t help but laugh at that.

Xiang Yang gave Yun Nan a set of diamond-studded jewelry. Yun Nan was shocked when she received them and stammered, “I-isn’t this too expensive? It’s too much!” She looked toward Shi Nian, silently asking for help.

Shi Nian nonchalantly said, “Take it. It’s a gift from your big sister-in-law.” Shi Xiu glanced at the gift, pulled Yun Nan close, and murmured, “Xiang Yang’s family is in the diamond business. She also gave me a set of diamond jewelry and told me that if my future husband treats me well, they can be passed down as family heirlooms. If he treats me badly, I’ll just sell them for money! She prepared the jewelry for us just in case!”

So saying, she looked at her brother meaningfully. Shi Nian glared at her in return. Yun Nan didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Xu Yun stepped forward to hold her hand and admonished Shi Xiu and Shi Nian, “Alright! Stop arguing, you two. We don’t even have a chance to say anything with you two squabbling like children!” She then smilingly said to Yun Nan, “Yun Nan, dear, your father and I also have presents for you. It’s just that there are a little too many of them so we put them in Shi Nian’s room. You can go and take a look.”

‘ When Xu Yun smiles, her eyes curve into crescents, and she has an indescribable charm,’ Yun Nan inwardly noted before she smiled and nodded.

“Thanks, Mom and Dad.”

Shi Xiu quickly pulled Yun Nan over and entreated, “Yun Nan, I’ll go with you!” Without waiting for any response, she set off with Yun Nan in hand.

Shi Nian’s bedroom in the family villa was less than half the size of their own penthouse’s bedroom. At this moment, it was filled with all sorts of handbags and purses. Yun Nan estimated there were at least twenty bags; some were from well-known luxury brands, while others were niche brands. She was wrought speechless by the sight.

Shi Xiu laughed at her reaction and explained, “Mommy likes to buy bags. Each time she visits someplace new, she’ll bring back some local specialty bags. Yun Nan, have a look! These are all yours! I also bought you a bag. It’s in my room,

I’ll go get it for you!”

“Thank you!” Yun Nan replied, feeling quite touched. This family had accepted her without estrangement despite her sudden appearance as their daughter-in-law, treating her as if she had returned after a long time instead of as a stranger.

“Do you like Mom’s presents?” Shi Nian asked when they returned from his room.

“I like them very much, but—” Yun Nan trailed off. Everyone nervously waited for her to continue as she looked at them.

“I just want to say thank you, Mom!” Yun Nan finished speaking; only then did Xu Yun relax. She hugged Yun Nan and stated, “I’m glad you like them. I find that when it comes to these kinds of belongings, the more the better. You can also give them away if you so choose..”
