Chapter 61 Extra 8: Look how uncomfortable my brother is...

When she got home, it was still some time before dinner. Lan Qingwan had already prepared the ingredients. She was about to enter the kitchen when she was stopped by Gu Yanci.

"What are you doing? Do you still want to cook?" Lan Qingwan said with a straight face, "Go, go, go, where can I let you cook when you get home?"

"Aunt Lan." Gu Yanci blocked the door of the kitchen and refused to let her in. He said with a smile, "I haven't done anything during this period. I've only been thinking about cooking. Please let me show off my skills."

Li Mianmian also came over to help: "Mom, just let him do it, he won't be able to sit still."

Seeing that she really couldn't fight, Lan Qingwan had to give up and went to the living room after giving a few instructions.

Sitting in the living room watching TV, she craned her neck uneasily and looked towards the kitchen from time to time.

Li Mianmian followed Gu Yanci into the kitchen and did not help. She just stood behind him and chatted with him.

Although Li Yan repeatedly emphasized not to tell Gu Yanci about buying fireworks, she still turned around and sold her brother.

"Xiao Yan said he wanted fireworks." Li Mianmian described the appearance of the fireworks and said sadly, "I don't know where to buy such fireworks."

"You may not be able to buy this kind of thing. There are relevant regulations for setting off fireworks." Gu Yanci said, "I can only buy the best one for him as much as possible. I will go and ask first tomorrow."

"Let's go together."

"good."

"But it might be a bit expensive." Li Mianmian vaccinated him in advance, "First of all, I want to buy this for Li Yan, so you can't help me pay for it. If it's too expensive, I won't buy it.

Anyway, Xiaoyan said it’s not necessary.”

Gu Yanci put the vegetables into the pot, mixed it with a bowl of water, then closed the lid, but did not answer immediately.

"Did you hear that?" Li Mianmian kicked his heels.

"Well." Gu Yanci said vaguely, "Let's take a look and talk.

"What are you talking about?" Li Mianmian kicked him again, "It's settled now!"

Gu Yanci smiled and changed the subject: "How about you try this?"

He was going to mix the shredded chicken. He had just mixed the seasonings and dipped the tip of his chopsticks into it and brought it to Li Mianmian's mouth.

Li Mianmian took a bite and said, "It's delicious!"

"Really?" Gu Yanci put the chopsticks into his mouth with a smile on his lips, "It does taste good."

Li Mianmian was tickled by his appearance, and subconsciously looked back.

Although the kitchen door was open, she couldn't see what was going on inside from the angle of the living room, so she boldly stood up on her tiptoes, held Gu Yanci's face and took a bite.

The hard ring left a reddish mark on Gu Yanci's face, and the cold touch lingered for a long time.

He lowered his eyes slightly, stared at her fingers for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "It seems that the gas consumption at home is running out, why don't you go out and buy a bottle?"

"Oh, okay." Li Mianmian nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yanci——

"We have to go out anyway, you can buy some snacks you like." He said, "Bring Li Yan with you. I didn't buy any gifts for her when I came back this time."

In fact, they bought some gifts, but because it was inconvenient to fly and it was troublesome to check them in, they packed the things in advance and took them for express delivery, which would take a few days to arrive.

Li Mianmian thought that she and her brother hadn't seen each other for half a year, and they could still talk if they called her together, so without thinking much, she went to the study and called Li Yan and went out together.

More than an hour later, Li Mianmian and Li Yan returned home carrying several large bags of things. They saw that the home was still the same as when they left earlier, with their parents sitting in the living room watching TV and Gu Yanci busy in the kitchen.

But for some reason, Li Qi always felt that something was wrong.

She asked Li Yan to take snacks to the study, washed some fruits, and put half of them on the coffee table. She was about to give the other half to Li Yan when Lan Qingwan suddenly said: "Stop working, sit down and talk to us."

Let’s talk.”

At the same time, Gu Yanci closed the door and stayed alone in the kitchen, as if deliberately avoiding suspicion.

Li Mianmian looked over there in confusion, and suddenly felt her right hand being held by someone, and then the ring on her middle finger was pulled off.

She was startled and turned back quickly.

"Why are you nervous?" Lan Qingwan glanced at her and smiled, "Xiao Yan just told us."

Li Mianmian was stunned: "Ah?"

"Hey, the diamond is quite big." Lan Qingwan pondered the ring in her hand and turned her head to talk to Li Changfeng curiously, "Look, it's really thoughtful."

Li Changfeng snorted from his nose: "What, you blame me for not giving you a diamond ring back then?"

"Yeah, this gold one is deformed when I wear it," Lan Qingwan touched her ring and teased, "One day you can be so attentive and buy me a diamond one."

"Buy!" Li Changfeng said immediately, "Go and buy it tomorrow, as long as you don't worry about money!"

"Hey, does this sound like you want to use family money?" Lan Qingwan asked suspiciously, "Don't you have any private money?"

Li Changfeng spread his hands: "Breeze on both sleeves!"

"Tsk, tsk, let's forget it then."

The financial power of the family is actually in the hands of Lan Qingwan. She has always been generous in life and never saves money on food and clothing. However, she only has a few pure gold jewelry because she feels that other jewelry does not maintain its value and it is a waste of money to buy it.

.

"Xiao Yan asked if he could propose to you." Lan Qingwan returned the ring to Li Mianmian, "Your father and I both said that this is your own business and you don't need to ask us, but he said in the next sentence that you have agreed.

His proposal is about to be proposed. Is this the same thing, cut off first and then show off?"

"no……"

Li Mianmian held the ring, but because she was too nervous, she forgot to put it on her hand for a moment. After a while, she said awkwardly: "At that time... the atmosphere was up... Well, I didn't know, he had already prepared the ring."

Li Changfeng was watching TV on the surface, but in fact he had been paying attention to their conversation. Hearing this, he immediately turned his head and looked over: "So you agreed so easily?"

"What if..." Li Mianmian lowered his head, "I had already decided to marry him..."

"you……"

When he was talking to Gu Yanci just now, Li Changfeng was quite calm. Now when he heard what Li Mianmian said, he lost his temper: "You, why are you so rash? How young are you? You two

How long have we been together? Aren't you afraid of regretting it later?"

"I'm over 20, and I'm already of legal age for marriage. And now I'm just agreeing to a request.

Marriage is not really about marriage. People say that the longer you stay in love, the harder it is for you to get together." Li Mianmian retorted to her father in a weak tone, but her words were a bit strong, "Besides, although we are not

How long have we been dating, but we have known each other for many years, so it’s not too rough, right?”

"Oh, I didn't say we'd get married immediately, but it's still considered an engagement." Lan Qingwan sighed, holding Li Mianmian's hand, "How come we've reached the stage of getting engaged? My daughter is still studying, and I feel you are too old.

too small……"

Li Mianmian gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I also know that at my current age, I am indeed a bit young - at least none of my classmates have put on rings so early."

Lan Qingwan knew as soon as she heard that she had something to say, and asked cautiously: "Then what do you think?"

"I felt that no matter sooner or later, I would definitely be with him, so he took the initiative and I agreed. And"

Li Mianmian looked in the direction of the kitchen, paused for a few seconds, looked back and said, "Moreover, Gu Yanci has no family now. I want to give him a sense of security, so that he can go home with me to celebrate the New Year without any burden.

Only then will he feel that this place can be his home. Can you understand what I say?"

Lan Qingwan also looked in the direction of the kitchen, patted Li Mianmian's hand, nodded, and said nothing.

Li Changfeng took the remote control and frequently changed channels, but he didn't say anything.

After being silent for a while, Li Mianmian felt that the engagement should be considered a thing of the past for her parents. Thinking of Gu Yanci's special move to send her away, she was a little curious: "What did Gu Yanci tell you?"

"What else can I say?" Lan Qingwan glanced at her sideways and said in a general way, "Just say that he will definitely treat you well, and let us not be angry with you. If we are dissatisfied with him, we will go to him."

Li Mianmian couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Oh, he also told us about his future plans." Lan Qingwan clicked her tongue and sighed, "Don't tell me, this kid is really thoughtful. He said that it depends on your opinion about the wedding.

, you can hold it whenever you want, but you can get your certificate first after graduation. He also said that if you want to go to graduate school, he can support you. If you want to work, no matter what you do, he will support you.

.”

As she said that, Lan Qingwan suddenly looked at Li Changfeng again: "I wonder... is this another father for our daughter? Why is he more concerned about it than her biological father? It saves us trouble."

"..." Li Changfeng said angrily, "If you can't speak, just sew your mouth shut."

Lan Qingwan laughed, and Li Mianmian laughed too.

After a while, Lan Qingwan suppressed her smile and said seriously: "But if you want to go to graduate school, then we must provide for you, and you can't let him give money. It is the parents' business to provide for their children to study, although I know that children

Yan is good to you, but we can't rely on others like this. Whether we get married or not is another matter, but my daughter must not be wronged because of money."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not use his money." Li Mianmian nodded, "And I don't want to go to graduate school. I still feel that I can learn more at work in this field, and I already have my favorite company. I plan to

In my junior year, I first went to interview for an internship position.”

"Okay." Lan Qingwan touched her head, "Why do you need dad? My daughter herself is very worry-free."

As he said this, both mother and daughter looked at Li Changfeng and laughed again.

The engagement did not dissatisfy her parents, and a big stone suddenly fell in Li Mianmian's heart. She was still worried about how to tell her parents about this matter, but she didn't expect that Gu Yanci would preemptively take her and Li Yan
