“That’s more like it!” Wu Bi smiled and said, “Remember to give it to me the next time we meet. I haven’t received a gift in a long time.”
Jian Ai also smiled and nodded. “Alright, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll like it. I just think it should suit you.”
“I like everything you give me. I promise to wear it often!” Wu Bi said.
Jian Ai pursed her lips and looked at him. “That better be the case!”
“Of course!” Wu Bi looked serious.
!!Jian Ai shook her head and laughed. She didn’t want to bicker with him anymore.
Wu Bi did not drive a sports car today. Otherwise, it could only fit one pa.s.senger. Instead, he drove an off-road vehicle. They got into the car together and headed for the furniture shop that the designer recommended down on Xiangjiang Road.
The last time Jian Ai accompanied her mother to buy things was when her family went on a trip to the Maldives. After returning from the Maldives, she had been so busy that she didn’t even have time to go to the martial arts school, let alone go home to accompany her mother.
Because it was a workday, there were few customers in the furniture store. The first floor was the kitchen area, but the kitchen of the new house was semi-open and very big. Moreover, the designer said that it was best to customize the cabinets, so w.a.n.g Yunmei thought it would be easier to buy them first.
Therefore, thinking that Old Wu wanted to buy a sofa as well, w.a.n.g Yunmei suggested going to the sofa area upstairs to look.
“Xiao Ai, what kind do you like?” w.a.n.g Yunmei looked at Jian Ai and asked.
Jian Ai said, “Mom, you should choose. Didn’t the designer give you his opinion? Just buy it accordingly. I just looked at the reference style from him. They’re all quite good-looking.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei nodded. “Alright, let’s buy it according to the designer’s idea. Let’s not buy it randomly. The designer worked hard for half a year to decorate such a good style. Don’t let the furniture design ruin it in the end.”
When Wu Shaoqi heard this, he couldn’t help but smile. “You have to like it yourself and find it comfortable, too. That house is yours, so you don’t have to be so careful.”
“That’s true.” w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled in embarra.s.sment.
Jian Ai looked at the two of them and smiled. Wu Bi, who had been silent, suddenly said to Uncle Wu, “Dad, you and Auntie Mei can choose the sofa here first. Xiao Ai and I will go to the bed area to look.”
Jian Ai was about to say something when she received the eye signal from Wu Bi. She instantly understood and swallowed what was about to come out of her mouth.
Uncle Wu said, “Shall we look together later?”
“Wouldn’t this be faster, Uncle Wu?” Jian Ai understood what Brother Wu Bi meant and immediately echoed, “Brother Wu Bi and I will go to the bed area to look!”
Without waiting for Wu Shaoqi and w.a.n.g Yunmei to speak, Jian Ai pulled Wu Bi towards the bed area.
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Yunmei couldn’t help but smile helplessly. It was obvious that she didn’t think too much about it. She even sighed at Wu Shaoqi. “Children aren’t even willing to shop with us. They don’t want to choose anything together.”
Wu Shaoqi shook his head disapprovingly. “Xiao Ai isn’t like that. If she doesn’t want to accompany you, she won’t be here today.”
As he spoke, Wu Shaoqi pointed at a brown linen sofa cover not far away. “Eh? This is quite good. It looks usable. You don’t know my family’s Tutu. When it sees a leather sofa, it’s as if it sees an enemy. I bought that leather cover at home the last time I moved. How long has it been? It’s completely unrecognizable now!”
When w.a.n.g Yunmei heard Wu Shaoqi’s complaints, the smile on her face deepened. “Who asked you to raise such a big dog? I think your dog looks like a husky. How can your sofa not be affected?”
“Tsk, I knew it. The dog seller cheated me!” Wu Shaoqi said. “Back then, I said that I would buy a puppy to accompany me. The dog seller said that it wouldn’t grow that big. Good lord, it grew so big after half a year. I thought it had mutated!”
“One customer who bought tofu was an expert in this area. He went to my house and said that he could tell at a glance that it was an Alaskan husky from abroad. He could tell from its tail.”
“Tutu is a little naughty, but it’s smart. It’s been accompanying me for the past two years and helped me relieve a lot of boredom! I have feelings for it now and can’t bear to give it to others!”
w.a.n.g Yunmei nodded in understanding. “That’s for sure. Didn’t I raise a kitten in the past? After it died, I was sad for a few months. Later, I didn’t dare to raise these small animals anymore. I was afraid that they would vanish one day again.”
As she spoke, w.a.n.g Yunmei couldn’t help but look at Wu Shaoqi and sigh deeply. She asked, “Old Wu, now that Wu Bi is back, you should consider yourself, right?”
“Consider what?” Wu Shaoqi was stunned. He blinked at w.a.n.g Yunmei.
w.a.n.g Yunmei pursed her lips and smiled. “What else can you consider? You’re already living with a dog. Haven’t you considered finding another partner? How old are you? You’re only forty-two years old. It’s not too late to look for one now!”
w.a.n.g Yunmei spoke naturally because she was asking Wu Shaoqi this question seriously. After interacting with him for many years, w.a.n.g Yunmei felt she knew Wu Shaoqi well. He was very down-to-earth and good-looking. He knew how to earn money and cared about family. He seemed to have the best conditions that all middle-aged men should have.
When he was in South City, many matchmakers came knocking on his door. Many widows expressed their willingness to be together with him, but Old Wu did not agree to any of them.
w.a.n.g Yunmei a.s.sumed it was because he had not overcome his son’s hurdle!
However, now that Wu Bi was back and the two of them were living together again, w.a.n.g Yunmei felt it was time for Wu Shaoqi to find someone to start over.
When Wu Shaoqi heard w.a.n.g Yunmei’s words, his face turned red. It was an obvious red. All these years, w.a.n.g Yunmei had never mentioned this to him. Now that she suddenly said this, was she hinting at something?
Wu Shaoqi suddenly became nervous. He looked at w.a.n.g Yunmei standing there in a daze and felt his heart beat non-stop. His mouth was dry.
“Meizi… You… You…” Wu Shaoqi moved his mouth dry, but the words were stuck in his throat.
w.a.n.g Yunmei looked at Wu Shaoqi’s red face and couldn’t help but laugh. “Old Wu, what’s wrong? You’re still embarra.s.sed? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?”
Wu Shaoqi: “…”
w.a.n.g Yunmei’s words were like a bucket of cold water that poured down on Wu Shaoqi’s heart!
In the next second, Wu Shaoqi was already awake.
“That’s not what I meant,” Wu Shaoqi quickly said. He turned around and laughed dryly to hide his embarra.s.sment.
He almost said it.
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If he had said it, he would lose face.
“I haven’t thought too much about it.” Wu Shaoqi calmed himself down and looked at w.a.n.g Yunmei with a forced smile. “There’s no hurry. I know what to do!”
It had been many years!
