Chapter 854: Chapter 854: [Extra] It Must Be Because I’m So Lovable
In the evening, Xu Weiran called Sheng Ning’an.
"What did you do with my mom today?"
"Nothing much, just went shopping with Mother Xu, got some beauty treatments, and met her old friends. Why?" Sheng Ning’an noticed his tone seemed a bit off, not just asking casually.
On the other end, Xu Weiran’s voice sounded somewhat helpless: "My mom just called and threatened me, saying I must treat you well and spend more time with you. If we break up, she’ll sever ties with me and adopt you as her daughter."
Sheng Ning’an: ...
She wanted to laugh but had to hold it in.
She knew Mother Xu liked her, but didn’t realize she liked her so much she’d even give up her son.
Sheng Ning’an joked, "It must be because I’m so likable, that’s why Mother Xu likes me so much."
Xu Weiran: "You’re right, you really are quite likable."
His deep voice came through the phone, making Sheng Ning’an’s ears inexplicably warm.
Then the voice from the phone continued, "I think my mom is right, I should spend more time with you. So, when are you coming to see me?"
"Didn’t we just meet? And if you want to spend time with me, shouldn’t you be the one coming to see me?"
Xu Weiran: "But I prefer being at our home with you. Besides, haven’t you heard the saying, ’Not seeing each other for a day feels like three years’?"
Does he have to be so dramatic?
"Alright, I’ll come see you tomorrow, okay?" Knowing he has to work during the day, Sheng Ning’an purposely came over in the afternoon, tidied up the house for him, then ordered a pot and ingredients from a hotpot restaurant, planning to spend the evening at home with him eating hotpot and watching dramas.
Nearing the time he finishes work, the doorbell rang, and the restaurant’s staff came to deliver the ingredients.
"Thank you!" Taking the ingredients from the staff, Sheng Ning’an placed the prepared pot on the table in the dining room, started boiling the broth, and arranged the ingredients.
About ten minutes later, Xu Weiran came home from work, immediately smelling the rich aroma of hotpot.
"What smells so good?" He changed into slippers at the entrance and headed towards the dining room.
In the dining room, Sheng Ning’an had been busy and finally completed all preparations. Her favorite TV drama was playing on the tablet on the table, and the broth in the pot was already boiling. Seeing Xu Weiran, she greeted him immediately: "You’re back? Perfect timing, the pot is boiling, wash your hands, and we can start eating."
Having hotpot with the air conditioner on in the middle of summer, probably only this girl could come up with such an idea.
Xu Weiran went to wash his hands, while Sheng Ning’an ran to the kitchen’s fridge and took out two cans of drinks, handing one to each of them.
Drinking beverages and eating hotpot, it was surprisingly delightful.
Sheng Ning’an had ordered quite a lot and unintentionally ate until she was overstuffed.
After eating, Sheng Ning’an lay on the couch to digest, while Xu Weiran took on the task of cleaning up the table.
Once the table was clean and everything packed into garbage bags, Xu Weiran looked at Sheng Ning’an and said, "Want to go for a walk to help digest?"
Sheng Ning’an: "I don’t want to move!"
Xu Weiran then turned off the air conditioner, walked over to open all the windows on the balcony to let fresh air in.
He didn’t want to sleep with the smell of hotpot lingering at night.
Worried that Sheng Ning’an might feel uncomfortable from overeating and indigestion at night, he walked over to the couch, gently pulling her up and saying, "Come down with me for a walk, be good!"
