There are not many members of the Mei family. There are just Liu Qianxiu’s grandmother, the Old Madam Mei, his uncle, and his aunt. In addition, there are Mei Zhizhi’s family and Mei Yaozhi.
When the family met, they were not as cautious and restrained as on TV. The Old Madam Mei was very kind, holding Mu Wan’s hand and talking. Mu Wan was like a new wife or daughter-in-law, a little shy and a little at a loss but happier.
After eating at the table, Mei Yaozhi brought a bottle of red wine over.
“My friend brought it back from a French winery. Try it.” As soon as he finished his voice, the servants poured the wine, and the family clinked the glasses and chatted while tasting the wine.
“I heard Yaozhi said that are you going to Austria next week?” Mei Zhizhi asked.
“Well, there have been several cases of fake products in auctions before, so I’ll go back and deal with it.” Liu Qianxiu sipped the red wine and said lightly.
“Let Yaozhi accompany you.” Father Mei arranged.
“No.” Liu Qianxiu smiled lightly and said, “I can handle it myself.”
“Your uncle still treats you as a child and wants to help you in everything. But our Qianxiu is now the head of the Liu family and can handle things well.” The Old Madam Mei was kind and dignified. After speaking, she looked at Mu Wan and said, “What about Mu Wan?”
The Old Madam called her very kindly, so Mu Wan felt warm in his heart and smiled back, “I’m in China because I still have to work.”
Regarding her occupation, everyone at the table has already communicated just now. The Mei family didn’t look down on her career but respected her to have her own things to do.
“The work is still the most important thing.” The Old Madam Mei smiled and said, “Qianxiu is going to Austria. It’s boring to eat at home by yourself. Why don’t you live in the Mei family’s house? You can be busier and do a better job with an aunt at home to take care of it.”
“Ah.” Mu Wan was taken aback for a while, then glanced at Liu Qianxiu with a smile.
Liu Qianxiu looked at The Old Madam Mei and refused, “Forget it, Grandma. There are still cats to take care of at home.”
“Then you can come over for a meal when you have time. I am bored at home by myself” The Old Madam Mei felt a little regretful and asked, “Do you know how to play mahjong?”
Mu Wan smiled and nodded, “I know a little bit.”
“Then you should come to accompany me to play mahjong and just have a meal before you leave.” The Old Madam Mei smiled and said, “We are all a family. If Qianxiu is not here, we will take care of you.”
“Okay, thank you Grandma.” Mu Wan thanked her generously.
The Old Madam Mei’s smile deepened, and she said to Mother Mei, “She called me Grandma.”
The family laughed together again.
Mu Wan has never felt the warmth of a family like this. When the whole family chatted or talked about work or red wine. Whenever the topic comes to mind, there will always be someone who will catch you, and then everyone will laugh together.
She is like a homeless bird. Liu Qianxiu took her back to the nest so that she could also have relatives and be surrounded by family affection.
Both drank alcohol until night, so they simply stayed in the Mei family’s house. Since they were staying overnight, they were not afraid of being benighted, and Old Madam Mei immediately set up the mahjong table.
Mu Wan played mahjong, and she played pretty cleverly. But she didn’t expect that Liu Qianxiu would play better than her. He didn’t go to the table, only sat next to her and pointed. In the end, they won some after playing.
It was a small gamble. When it was time to rest, everyone was happy and relaxed.
Throughout the afternoon and evening, Mu Wan felt very happy. She was like a child who hadn’t played for a long time. After playing in the playground, her body and mind were still excited.
The two had bathed together, and Liu Qianxiu incorporated her under him. The two held each other and made a careful and cautious move. After finishing, Mu Wan’s excitement evaporated, and only fatigue remained. She curled up in Liu Qianxiu’s arms, listening to his heartbeat and drowsy.
“Liu Qianxiu, I am so happy today.”
“After I am with you, I am so happy every day. But this kind of happiness is like a dream. When I think of you going to Austria, I always have the kind of emptiness feeling of falling after waking up.”
Her voice was a little hoarse because of her sleepiness. After she finished speaking, she rubbed her head into his arms twice. Her fuzzy hair is like a little brown bear.
“Liu Qianxiu, you will be back on time, right?” The little brown bear opened her eyes and looked at him.
Her eyes were filled with straightforward love and hope, but some fear and panic were mixed in her eyes. This expression was her mood and feeling when she said these words now.
Because she never owned it, she will be more concerned about gains and losses after possessing it, and she has this intuition now.
Liu Qianxiu looked at her, raised his hand, and stroked her warm cheek. His heart seemed to have been lit by a torch.
“Yeah.” He responded.
With the assurance, Mu Wan rubbed him twice and fell asleep in a daze. After her breathing became well-proportioned and deep, Liu Qianxiu got up from the bed, put on his shirt, and went out.
In the room’s corridor, Mei Yaozhi took a bottle of red wine and walked to his room. When he raised his eyes, he saw Liu Qianxiu, and his eyes lit up. After seeing his expression clearly, Mei Yaozhi’s expression also became stagnant.
“Would you like to have a drink together?” Mei Yaozhi shook the bottle.
Liu Qianxiu nodded.
The two went to the bar. After pouring the wine for Liu Qianxiu, Mei Yaozhi poured himself a glass and asked, “Is it tricky this time? How about I follow you...”
“Help me take care of Mu Wan.” Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look at him and said in a deep voice, “Help me take care of her during my absence.”
The red wine bottle in his hand paused slightly. Mei Yaozhi frowned slightly and nodded in response. “Okay.”
The author has something to say:
Liu Daochang: It’s okay. Don’t be surprised because it’s nothing.
