Chapter 151: Chapter 73: Gold Bracelet (Requesting Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, and Favorites)_2
"Mom, there’s still a gold bracelet here!" Luo Fei took the gold bracelet out from the gifts, with a helpless expression on his face. Such an expensive gift from Yang Mei left him unsure of what he should give the next time he visits Yang Mei’s parents.
"A gold bracelet this big must be worth a lot of money! It’s too valuable; no, no, you must return it to the girl tomorrow. How can you accept such an expensive gift!" Wu Yan was initially shocked upon seeing the gold bracelet and quickly shook her head, insisting Luo Fei return it to Yang Mei.
"Mom, I just told Yang Mei that it’s too expensive and asked her to take it back, but she refused no matter what. She’s definitely not going to take it back, so just wear it. After all, you don’t have any decent jewelry, and we can compensate Yang Mei later." Luo Fei persuaded.
Wu Yan still showed hesitation on her face; it was indeed too valuable.
"Alright, alright. Mom, have you eaten yet?" Luo Fei quickly changed the subject.
Wu Yan replied, "We’ve eaten. Have you eaten yet? There’s food still warm in the pot; want some?"
"Not yet, I’ve been running around on-site all afternoon and have been busy since returning to the team. I’m starving."
"Wait, let me get it for you."
Saying this, Wu Yan immediately turned to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Luo Fei changed into slippers and placed all the items on the coffee table.
Just as he sat down, he saw Luo Xiaoxiao’s bedroom door open.
"Brother, you’re back! Wow, brother, why did you buy so many things today? Is it some holiday again?"
Luo Xiaoxiao ran out of her room, seeing a pile of things on the table, including two boxes of snacks. She immediately reached out happily wanting to open them.
Just at this moment, Wu Yan walked out of the kitchen carrying food and immediately stopped her, "Don’t touch that. That’s from your sister Yang Mei."
"Ah, so it’s from brother’s girlfriend. Mom, did sister Yang Mei come over just now? Why didn’t you call me!"
Luo Xiaoxiao had been very curious about her future sister-in-law all afternoon, and thinking she might have missed seeing her left her feeling unhappy.
Wu Yan placed the meal in front of Luo Fei on the coffee table and sat down beside the siblings, "No, all these were things your sister Yang Mei asked your brother to bring back."
"I see. So when is sister Yang Mei coming over to our house, brother?"
Luo Fei, while gobbling his meal, replied casually, "Not sure yet, we’ll see after this busy period."
Hearing this, both the mother and daughter knew that there must have been another case.
But by now, they both knew there were rules in the police team, which prevent casually leaking information, so they didn’t ask further.
Wu Yan picked up some beads and continued threading them earnestly, while Luo Xiaoxiao stayed next to Luo Fei, playfully chatting with him, yet her eyes remained fixed on those two boxes of snacks.
Luo Fei, of course, knew what the little girl was thinking and said with a smile, "Alright, these two boxes of snacks were especially given to you and Luo Hao by your sister Yang Mei, so go ahead and take one box."
"Really? Thank you, brother! Also, please thank sister Yang Mei for me!"
Luo Xiaoxiao cheered, but instead of grabbing them immediately, she carefully glanced at Wu Yan.
Being the head of the family, without her say-so, Luo Xiaoxiao didn’t dare touch them.
Wu Yan was about to refuse, but then Luo Fei said, "Mom, Yang Mei specially bought these for the two siblings. It’s the thought that counts, so just let them have it."
In the past, when their family was poor, Wu Yan would be reluctant to eat the gifts others sent during festivals and would save them to exchange for other gifts to bring to relatives.
But now that the family’s situation has improved, there’s no need to do such things anymore.
Besides, these were certainly specially picked by Yang Mei, and Luo Fei couldn’t let her thoughtful gifts go to waste.
Wu Yan was indeed planning to save them for the next visit to relatives, but after hearing Luo Fei’s words, she could only helplessly say to Luo Xiaoxiao, "Your brother said so, so hurry and take it to your room to sleep. Do you plan on going to school tomorrow or not?"
"Mom, brother, then I’m off to bed."
Luo Xiaoxiao happily wrapped her arms around the snacks and sneaked back to her room.
By that time, Luo Fei had finished eating and figured Yang Mei must almost be home. He picked up his phone to check and indeed saw two messages from her.
The first message was, "I’m home."
The second message was, "I’ll wash up first, talk later."
Luo Fei quickly replied, "I just finished eating. Let me wash up, and we’ll talk later."
After that, he headed to the kitchen with his bowl. After washing up the dishes, he took a shower.
When he came out, it was nearly half-past ten, and Wu Yan was still threading beads.
"Mom, it’s getting late; you should sleep early. You have to get up early for work tomorrow."
"It’s fine, I’ll do this a little longer. You go ahead to sleep." Wu Yan replied without turning around.
Luo Fei was helpless and said, "Alright then, I’ll go to sleep first. Make sure you don’t stay up too late."
After going to his room, he first took out his phone and chatted with Yang Mei for a while.
They chitchatted for a while, and then he suddenly remembered something and quickly typed a message.
"By the way, everyone really liked the gifts you bought. My mom even wanted me to return the gold bracelet, saying it’s too valuable. Also, my sister told me to thank you properly and asked when you’ll come over to our place for dinner."
