I called my sister-in-law before coming to pick you up to confirm that Dr. Cheng and his family of three came last night, along with Junbo\u2019s twins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy sister-in-law\u2019s cousin married the fifth young master of the Jun family. The fifth young master lives in Dongguan City, and the Jun family occasionally comes to visit him and stay at his house for a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing that her idol was a family of three, Zeng Xiaoya immediately said to Zhan Yue, \u201cHow old is Dr. Cheng\u2019s baby? I need to prepare a gift for each of the children. I didn\u2019t prepare any gifts last time, so I\u2019ll make up for it today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue smiled and said, \u201cNo need. Dr. Cheng\u2019s son is about seven years old now, and I remember the older ones are all over six.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I must prepare gifts for the children. What does Dr. Cheng like? I\u2019ll prepare one for her too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat does Dr. Cheng like? Well, I really can\u2019t figure it out. She seems to like everything, and yet she seems to like nothing. I think you don\u2019t need to prepare any gifts. Just buy one toy for each child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going as my friend, not specifically to see Dr. Cheng, so there\u2019s really no need to prepare a gift. Preparing a gift would be too formal, and Dr. Cheng might not like it. She\u2019s a straightforward and easygoing person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue felt there was no need to prepare a gift.<\/p>\n<p>Cheng Lingling didn\u2019t even know Zeng Xiaoya existed.<\/p>\n<p>Even if she knew Zeng Xiaoya had come specifically to see her, she wouldn\u2019t accept a gift; she found it troublesome to take back. She preferred to be light and didn\u2019t like carrying anything anywhere except her medicine kit, which she couldn\u2019t help but bring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you prepare a toy for each of the children, Dr. Cheng will be very happy. For mothers, being valued by others for their children makes them happier than being valued for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue, who had seven nephews and one niece, considered himself quite knowledgeable about mothers.<\/p>\n<p>Zeng Xiaoya thought for a moment and then said, \u201cOkay, take me to buy a gift for the children. I promised them I would bring them a gift next time I visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Promises made to children must be kept.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t break your promise to children, lest they say adults don\u2019t keep their word.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue readily agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, right, we also need to buy some things. Last time I went to your house empty-handed, and we were both very embarrassed when we came back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need, I\u2019ve already prepared something for you, it\u2019s in the trunk, no need to buy anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last time, it was a last-minute decision to take her back to the resort, unplanned, so he hadn\u2019t prepared a gift for her.<\/p>\n<p>This time, however, it was planned, and Zhan Yue had already prepared a gift for her, filling his trunk to the brim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow much did it cost? I\u2019ll transfer the money back to you later,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue said. \u201cWhy are we being so particular? You brought a gift for my family, which makes me look good, so it\u2019s only right that I pay for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He firmly refused Zeng Xiaoya\u2019s money. He<\/p>\n<p>had long considered Zeng Xiaoya his fianc\u00e9e, someone he would marry and spend his life with.<\/p>\n<p>His money was her money, and her money was still her money.<\/p>\n<p>He knew her income. He<\/p>\n<p>didn\u2019t want her to spend money.<\/p>\n<p>She had earned her own money for the renovations, and after that, she bought furniture, so her savings weren\u2019t much.<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue couldn\u2019t bear to let her spend so much.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Zeng Xiaoya couldn\u2019t give him the money. He didn\u2019t tell her the exact amount, so she didn\u2019t know how much it cost in total. She estimated it, transferred it to him, and he refunded it.<\/p>\n<p>Helpless, she could only accept his kindness.<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Yue took her to the toy store where he usually bought toys for his nieces. He picked out a toy for each child, knowing what they liked and buying toys accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>When it came time to pay, Zhan Yue insisted on paying, but Zeng Xiaoya couldn\u2019t resist and had him pay for her instead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYes, they arrived last night.
