Chapter 113 I Can’t Afford to Exchange Your Gift
Li Yucheng stared at the medal for a long time, then carefully put it into his pocket.
There was constant laughter coming from the kitchen, mostly from Chen Mi and Cheng Wenbo. He couldn't figure out what Ni Jia was doing, so he could only get up and go take a look.
Three people stood side by side, one was cutting vegetables, one was frying steak, and one was washing dishes. They cooperated very well and didn't feel crowded.
This must not be the first time they have done this, Li Yucheng thought.
"Where's Aunt Tong?"
"I'm going to get the cake." Ni Jia adjusted the oven and looked back at him. At the same time, Cheng Wenbo also turned around and nodded.
The coordinated movements made people feel uncomfortable for some reason. Li Yucheng stood at the kitchen door and did not leave, but he did not find any way to help.
Ni Jia wiped his hands and came out, his tone natural, not at all deliberate: "I forgot to buy some wine, do you mind going to your place to get a bottle?"
"I'll go buy it." Cheng Wenbai was about to turn off the stove and come out. Li Yucheng immediately agreed and glanced over warningly: "Don't mind."
The three words were pronounced very heavily, almost jumping out one by one.
This was exactly what Ni Jia wanted. She nodded and walked towards the door first: "Hurry up, you still need to sober up for a while."
Compared to last night, the living room looked much cleaner today. Someone must have cleaned it. Ni Jia came to the wine cabinet and took out two bottles at random.
Li Yucheng also took some, and Ni Jia turned around with a sullen look on his face.
"Five people."
"It's not enough for you to drink, right?" Li Yucheng thought about it and put the bottle back.
The house was still so lonely, dim, and lifeless, without any festive atmosphere. Ni Jia glanced at the still undecorated Christmas tree next to him and turned away.
"How's your stomach?"
In fact, he still twitched occasionally, but it was much better than yesterday. Thinking of the conversation more than ten hours ago, Li Yucheng swallowed back what he was about to say.
When he asked the question without getting a response, Ni Jia looked back and found that Li Yucheng was still by the wine cabinet and did not follow him.
"what happened?"
"What time does it end?" Li Yucheng asked, "Can we go out later?"
"Where?"
"Peace."
Hearing these two words, Ni Jia almost subconsciously refused: "It will be very late, I don't think I will have time."
She replied very quickly, so quickly that it was obvious that she didn't want to go. As expected, Li Yucheng fell silent, looking unsurprisingly disappointed.
She saw the other party take out a velvet box from his pocket and then walk towards her. Ni Jia was stunned. Her heart beat very fast for a moment and many words of rejection flashed through her mind.
"Don't get me wrong." Li Yucheng saw that the person was tense and knew that he was thinking wrongly: "I'm not stupid enough to propose to you at this time."
Ni Jia held the bottle tightly without saying anything. He moved his eyes from the box upwards and saw a calm and self-deprecating face.
"What gifts did you exchange?"
"Yours is also a necklace?"
Li Yucheng opened the box while talking to herself. It was a jade bracelet that she had seen in the portrait. It was worn on Mrs. Huo's left hand at that time.
The other person probably knew what she was thinking. He shook his head, took the bottle from her hand and placed it on the entrance cabinet beside her.
"It's a pair, not just one."
"From a piece of jade."
"This is just for you."
Still inexperienced, Li Yucheng took the bracelet and tried to put it on her hand. Ni Jia hurriedly pulled back, but her wrist was immediately grabbed.
"You took all his, but not mine?"
No one would exchange such expensive gifts. This imperial purple bracelet was worth at least several million. Ni Jia was helpless: "I can't afford your gift."
Li Yucheng got the point right away, pulled the man closer and said in a deeper voice: "Me too?"
"It's just a handmade product." Ni Jia whispered, "It's not worth much."
"Where?" Li Yucheng's mood changed drastically in an instant. His voice became louder and his tone was filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Upstairs." Ni Jia said, "I'll give it to you later."
Li Yucheng asked, "He has it too?"
Ni Jia shook her head. The effect of the watch had not yet worn off, so how could she dare to give him anything else?
There was finally a smile on Li Yucheng's face, but staring at her like that made her feel like he might kiss her in the next second.
"It's time to pass." She looked away.
"Put it on."
When drawing or working, one's wrists are always bumped here and there. This time, Ni Jia shook his head firmly. This bracelet is too high-profile. Besides, it costs millions of dollars, so it would be painful to get it bumped.
The straight man was about to put it on her hand again, so Ni Jia had no choice but to say, "You can't wear it."
"Too small?" Li Yucheng circled her wrist and said firmly, "No."
"That's not how you wear it." Ni Jia explained: "You need to make bubbles."
Chen Mi called her from the next room, and Ni Jia quickly pulled her hand back, picked up the bottle and went out: "Come here quickly."
"What is it?" Li Yucheng chased after him and asked without giving up: "Study or bedroom?"
"Why are you more anxious than the child?" Ni Jia walked into the yard and whispered, "Shh."
"What are you hesitating about?" Chen Mi glanced at the two of them, took the bottle and bumped Ni Jia's arm: "Why don't you waste this little time?"
She said the second half of the sentence through gritted teeth, in a fragmented and low voice. Li Yucheng didn't hear clearly, so he gave her an expression that said, "It's none of your business," and then stuffed the box into Ni Jia's coat pocket.
Chen Mi naturally saw it, and as soon as she entered the kitchen, she spread out her hands: "What is it? Take it out and let me see it."
Ni Jia had nothing to hide, so he smiled and said, "Bracelet."
"Which brand?"
“Can you trust a straight man’s vision?”
"Take it out so I can complain about it."
"You will be disappointed." Ni Jia thought for a moment and said, "It's not his vision."
"Did you let the assistant pick it again?" Chen Mi put her hands on her hips and shook her head: "No hope!"
"No." Ni Jia whispered, "His mother."
As soon as oil was poured into the pot, Cheng Wenbai was splashed and his skin quickly turned red. He calmly walked to the sink and turned on the faucet.
"Didn't Mrs. Huo die?" Chen Mi asked in a low voice, "What are the relics?"
It should be counted, at least it must be the house in the suburbs. Ni Jia nodded and looked outside the kitchen, only to find that Li Yucheng had already gone upstairs.
"Hey!" Ni Jia shouted while holding the decanter. Li Yucheng stood on the stairs, turned around and raised his eyebrows at her, then followed his sister and ran up the stairs.
Ni Jia thought again, it’s okay, the study is locked anyway, so he turned his head and shouted to someone else: “Ni Haohao, put on your slippers!”
Li Yucheng looked down, then without saying a word, he picked up his daughter and strode up the last few steps.
Isn't the second floor a private area? Chen Mi was stunned: "He is so natural?"
Ni Jia shrugged, he was used to it.
"Why are you still being so reserved?" Chen Mi said speechlessly: "I say you should just move in together."
Cheng Wenbo turned off the tap and suddenly interrupted: "Where is the oil consumption?"
