Chapter 168 Valentine’s Day Gift
Wen Zhuo said, "I've always wanted to find a chance to return the Stella Lou pendant to you, but I never met you afterwards. I didn't expect that it was you who saved me. I'll bring the pendant back to you tomorrow."
Yuan Xi chuckled and shook her head: "No need, Gu Hanchen just liked the pendant before, but he doesn't like it anymore."
Wen Zhuo was stunned and said, "Okay."
Xu Zhou said: "I didn't expect that there is such a fate between you two?"
Wen Zhuo said: "I really didn't expect it."
Wen Zhuo, Wen Su and Xu Zhou left without staying long.
As soon as they left, Shi Zhen and Huo Ting came over with Xiao Shihuo.
The nanny behind Shi Zhen also brought a bowl of dumplings in a thermos bucket.
Xiaoshihuo, who was wearing a festive red down jacket, said excitedly: "Sister, sister, I made these dumplings myself!"
Yuan Xi looked at the sesame dumplings of different sizes and gave them to Huo Shiyan, "Would you like to try it first?"
Huo Shiyan said: "Since Xiao Huo Huo made it himself, let him eat it himself."
Xiaoshihuo touched his bulging belly and said, "I've already eaten. This is for my sister."
Shi Zhen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I watched him make it the whole time. It was very clean and hygienic. The glutinous rice balls made by Xiaohuo are quite delicious."
After tasting two small dumplings, Yuan Xi pinched Xiaohuo's cheeks and said, "Huohuo is great, the dumplings are delicious."
Xiao Xiao said: "Sister likes it, so I will cook it for her often in the future."
Yuan Xi chuckled, "Huo Huo is so well behaved."
Shi Zhen followed Yuan Xi upstairs to see the two children. Perhaps it was because of her age, Shi Zhen, who had always been unwilling for Huo Shiyan to call her mother, was looking forward to babies Lele and Anan calling her grandma as soon as possible after becoming a grandmother.
Perhaps it was because of the generation gap, Shi Zhen, who had not much maternal love for Huo Shiyan, could never get tired of looking at the two children.
"Xiao Xi, after you finish your confinement, are you going to resume work?"
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Yes."
"Why don't you bring Ruolin to me and I'll help you raise her?"
Yuan Xi listened to what her mother-in-law said and shook her head.
Shi Zhen was not frustrated by being rejected. He reached out and teased Lele's little face: "Then I will come over more often to see my lovely granddaughter..."
Yuan Xi saw that Shi Zhen's long nails were now cut off and only had nail polish applied without too much decoration. She smiled gently. It can be seen that Shi Zhen really loves his two children.
Yuan Xi is naturally happy that the child is liked by more elders.
During the New Year holidays, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan spent time in Yunsen Courtyard. Although it was the New Year period, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan did not have any real free time.
Especially since Michen Maritime Affairs Department will be opened after the New Year, Yuan Xi has just screened the information given by the headhunters before the New Year. Developing the overseas department can be said to be no different from starting a business, and the selection of employees also needs to be cautious.
Huo Shiyan also has a new assistant, a male college student who looks sunny and cheerful.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, when he came to Yunsen Court for the first time, he bowed to Yuan Xi and said, "Hello, Madam. My name is Ye Huan, and I am Mr. Huo's new assistant."
Yuan Xi smiled faintly at Ye Huan and nodded: "Hello." After Huo Shiyan arranged a job for Ye Huan, Ye Huan left Yunsen Court.
Yuan Xi asked: "Why are you hiring a new assistant?"
Huo Shiyan said: "Ye Huan will not be my assistant for long. He is the young master of the Ye family of Yehua Group. He just graduated from university and came to study with me for a few years."
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I see."
Anyone who could be parachuted into Huo Shiyan's position as an assistant right after graduating from university must have a very impressive background.
On February 10th, Yuan Xi was finally able to leave the confinement period, but after finally being able to go out, she encountered another cold wave.
Yuan Xi has always been afraid of the cold, so she only made an appointment with Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan in a shopping mall in City A.
Liang Suisui saw Yuan Xi and said, "Giving birth is really torture. You have been recuperating for a month, and I can see that you are much weaker."
Chen Yuan was also distressed and said: "Indeed, you looked much better before."
Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "Maybe it has something to do with not wearing makeup. Giving birth is definitely torture, but when I see Lele and An'an, I feel it's worth it. When I came out just now, I was reluctant to leave Lele. Although she is only one month old, she seemed to know that I was going out and kept bothering me before I left."
Liang Suisui made a cross with her hands and said, "At a gathering with girlfriends, it is forbidden to mention husbands and children."
Chen Yuan said, "That... I still have to mention it. Isn't Valentine's Day coming up in a few days? I need to prepare a Valentine's Day gift for Shi Lei. I didn't prepare one for him last Chinese Valentine's Day, and he was upset with me for a long time, thinking that I didn't love him anymore."
Liang Suisui said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll help you pick out a Valentine's Day gift. Xiaoxi, do you want to pick one too?"
If Yuan Xi hadn't heard Chen Yuan mention it, she would have almost forgotten about Valentine's Day. But if she looked closely, she saw that the mall was indeed full of Valentine's Day billboards.
Yuan Xi suddenly felt embarrassed. Last time on the Chinese Valentine's Day, it seemed that Huo Shiyan and she did not take this festival seriously.
If she carefully prepared a gift for Valentine's Day this time, but Huo Shiyan treated it as an ordinary day, should he give her a Valentine's Day gift or not?
Yuan Xi smiled helplessly. She was actually a little worried. If Huo Shiyan really forgot, then so be it. It would be fine for her to give him a gift.
Yuan Xi and Chen Yuan went to the men's perfume area together. There were quite a few men's perfumes designed for Valentine's Day gifts.
Yuan Xi was sensitive to smells before she became pregnant, and she became even more sensitive after she became pregnant. Although her child is born now, her sensitivity to odors still exists. She doesn't really want to give Huo Shiyan perfume.
Yuan Xi asked Liang Suisui: "If not perfume, what else can you give me?"
Liang Suisui: "Based on my years of experience reading novels, tie? Cufflinks?"
Yuan Xi chuckled, "Huo Shiyan wears a suit and shirt less often than I do."
Huo Shiyan indeed rarely dressed formally, not even as well as Yuan Xi who always wore formal clothes at work, and Huo Shiyan almost never used tie buttons.
Liang Suisui asked: "Watch, pen?"
Yuan Xi said: "He has a watch, so he should also have a pen."
Liang Suisui said, "Why don't you wash yourself, tie a bow around your body and give it to him?"
Yuan Xi: “…”
Seeing Yuan Xi was shy, Liang Suisui laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. A gift is just a token of your thoughts. It doesn't matter what you give him. Even if you give him a stone, he will definitely like it very much."
Yuan Xi thought about it and said, "I can give you stones."
Since they got married but didn't have a wedding, they didn't have wedding rings yet, so she could give Huo Shiyan a men's ring first.
