“Dad, Mom, Fang Yao is here. I’ll pack up and go down to pick him up later!” Yuan Xiao stuck her head out of the bathroom and said something before immediately shrinking back.

“Fang Yao?” Shen Hai and Feng Mei were also a little surprised to hear that Fang Yao was coming to the house. The two of them cleaned up briefly and stood in the living room to size each other up.

“Honey, we have to change our clothes. This is the first time the child has come to our house to visit for the New Year. Shouldn’t we wear something more formal?” Shen Hai saw that Feng Mei was still wearing an apron and felt that it was not good for Fang Yao to see her like this. It would appear that they did not really welcome him.

“We should. Old Shen, change into the sweater Xiao Xiao bought for you a while ago.” Feng Mei took off her apron and instructed Shen Hai, “Also, remember to put on your socks. I have to comb my hair too.”

The three of them started to tidy up because of Fang Yao’s sudden visit. Then, Yuan Xiao saw a scene that surprised her. When she came out of the bathroom, her parents had also dressed up seriously. Their clothes and hair were especially formal.

“Dad, Mom, you…” Yuan Xiao was caught between laughter and tears as she looked at her meticulously dressed parents. They seemed to take Fang Yao very seriously.

“Has Fang Yao arrived?” Shen Hai saw that his daughter was still wearing her pajamas and instructed anxiously, “Remember to change your clothes later.”

“Alright, he’s already downstairs. I’ll go change and pick him up now.” Yuan Xiao smiled and returned to the bedroom to change. She chose a pink dress she had bought with Sun Li at the mall a few days ago and looked much cuter than usual.

Shen Hai and Feng Mei watched Yuan Xiao walk out of the door, feeling a little nervous and excited.

“Honey, why do I feel like I’m meeting my son-in-law?”

Feng Mei smiled and said, “Fang Yao is a good child. It’s good if he really becomes our son-in-law.”

“No, Xiao Xiao is still so young. I can’t think about this.” Shen Hai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He had a feeling that his daughter was about to leave with someone when she had just grown up.

“Didn’t you say that you feel like you’re meeting your son-in-law?” Feng Mei looked at the serious Shen Hai, afraid that he would scare Fang Yao, who had come to visit tor tne New year.

“Be nicer to the child later. Don’t pull a long face.”

Although Shen Hai was a little unwilling, he still nodded at Feng Mei.

“Dad, Mom, Fang Yao is here.” Hearing Yuan Xiao’s voice, Shen Hai and Feng Mei stood up and looked out the door.

“Uncle, Auntie, Happy New Year!” Fang Yao was carrying gift boxes of different sizes and had three or four hanging on his wrist.

“Why did you bring so many things?” Feng Mei went to help Fang Yao carry the bags in surprise.

She was not just being polite. It was already a miracle that Fang Yao could bring in the things in his hand by himself, not to mention that Yuan Xiao was holding four to five small gift boxes.

“How did you carry them yourself?” Shen Hai asked the most curious question in his heart without thinking. Even if Fang Yao had three heads and six arms, it was difficult for him to take so many things alone.

“My brother drove me and dropped me off downstairs.” Fang Yao scratched his head awkwardly. Actually, he had been dumped downstairs by Fang Ming. These gifts were all paid for with Fang Ming’s money.

Fang Ming sent Fang Yao to the mall to choose gifts. When he paid the bill, his face almost turned green. Fang Ming never expected that he could rack up nearly a seven-figure sum in yuan just in a normal mall. Moreover, the two of them had spent a lot of effort just to transport the things to the car.

“Don’t just stand there. Come and sit.” Feng Mei placed the gift boxes of different sizes against the wall as much as possible and called Fang Yao to sit.

“Thank you, Auntie.” Fang Yao was wearing a blue casual suit that Wei Lan had bought for him. Unlike his usual black outfit, Fang Yao looked very bright and energetic, and he appeared much younger than usual.

Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao, who was sitting in the chair uneasily, and felt that he seemed to be very nervous.

“I’ll go cut some fruits.” After saying that, Yuan Xiao walked into the kitchen.

When Fang Yao saw Yuan Xiao leave, his expression became even more unnatural. Whether it was a fight or an exam, Fang Yao had never been so nervous.

“I heard from Xiao Xiao that you’re taking the college entrance examination in a few months?” Feng Mei gave Fang Yao a glass of warm water and sat on the chair beside him.

“Thank you, Auntie.” Fang Yao took the glass of water politely and replied to

Feng Mei, “Yes, I’ll be taking the college entrance examination this summer.”

Shen Hai sat opposite Fang Yao and sized up this obedient boy. He felt that the current Fang Yao was much different from the first time he saw him..
