"Let's not talk about this... Let's go pick out gifts for the visit first. Should we sit in the front or the back?"

"I'll block your view if I sit in the front. I'd better sit in the back."

Xia Yuan stepped into the car one step at a time and hugged Mei Fang. The thick touch even through the cotton jacket made Mei Fang feel a little excited. He was about to say something, but Xia Yuan took another step and hugged him tightly.

"Today, Ah Fang belongs to me alone."

Mei Fang turned around and smiled at Xia Yuan: "Now you are not clamoring for Youxi to accompany you?"

"That time was my birthday, the situation was different."

"I still remember you crying and saying that Youxi must be there to accompany you—"

"Oh, Ah Fang, you are so annoying!"

Xia Yuan punched Mei Fang on the back, "If you continue to expose my dark history like this, I won't help you this week!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt as if she was at a disadvantage, so she pinched Mei Fang's waist and muttered, "Don't dream too much! I won't let Youxi help you either."

"Oops... just a joke, don't get so excited."

Mei Fang turned around and looked at Xia Yuan, "Have you eaten at home? How about going to have breakfast together?"

"Hasn't Ah Fang eaten yet?"

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang and muttered, "I've already had breakfast at home, and my mom made some steamed buns for me. How about we go to my house and eat something first?"

"Today we are going to visit Uncle Xia and Aunt Yu. It would be inappropriate to go now." Mei Fang thought for a moment, "I'll just buy some steamed dumplings on the way."

"Xiaoxue told me that there's a delicious ramen restaurant near Suguo Department Store called Tom Cruise or something. Shall we go there and eat beef ramen today?"

"Eating ramen now? Wouldn't it be awkward if I couldn't finish my lunch at your house?"

"Let's have a bowl together," Xia Yuan licked his lips, "Actually, I just want to try it myself."

"Well, you should have said so earlier."

Mei Fang was riding an electric bike with Xia Yuan on the road. After a while, the phone in his pocket rang. Xia Yuan reached into Mei Fang's pocket and took out the phone. "It's Youxi calling. Can I answer it for you?"

"Well, go ahead."

Xia Yuan picked up the phone and said, "Yes, it's Yuanyuan."

"You and Alfang have already gone out?"

"Yeah, we're going to have beef noodles. Do you want to come with us?"

"Which one?"

"It's the newly opened one, next to Su Guo. I'll ask Ah Fang to pick you up on the way?"

"Forget it, you guys have to take a detour, and you definitely don't really want to pick me up."

"Ahh... How is that possible! I brought you here because you wanted to eat."

"Forget it, give the call to Ah Fang."

Xia Yuan obediently put the phone next to Mei Fang's ear so that Mei Fang and Lin Youxi could listen.

"Yes... yes."

Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang and nodded.

"Um……"

"understood."

"It should be OK for Qin Shaoyang to fix that BUG."

"Ah, no way... I think he's doing pretty well, why fire him?"

"If you really feel you can't stand it...then I'll discuss it with Sister Yueyue. Is there anything else?"

"Yes... I will. I know what to do. I know Teacher Yu and Uncle Xia very well."

"You still don't believe me?"

Xia Yuan judged from Mei Fang's answers that he sometimes talked with Lin Youxi about work, sometimes talked to her about his own things, and was also seriously doing his job as a good wife holding the phone.

But they kept chatting endlessly, and Xia Yuan's hands were sore from holding them.

"Ah Fang, how long are you going to talk?"

Mei Fang heard Xia Yuan's coquettish cry and then said goodbye to Lin Youxi, "Okay... We are almost at the ramen restaurant, so let's stop talking for now."

"Uh-huh……"

Mei Fang said "mua" to Lin Youxi on the phone.

"..."

"It's enough, Yuanyuan."

Xia Yuan put down his phone and stuffed it into Mei Fang's pocket, making a humming sound.

"I didn't know... you and Youxi kissed goodbye after talking on the phone?"

"Uh... occasionally."

Mei Fang parked his bike on the side of the road. When he got off the bike, Xia Yuan was still sitting on it, looking a little jealous.

So cute.

Mei Fang didn't think that his childhood sweetheart was being upset, but took the initiative to go over and pick up Yuanyuan from the car.

Xia Yuan was caught off guard when Mei Fang carried her down from the car, and she was still a little flustered after getting off the car. After pinching Mei Fang's face, Mei Fang did not hesitate to follow her and came over to do a MUA as well.

"Youxi and I are just remote mua, but you and I are real mua, so you won't lose out this time, right?"

"What? I'm so disappointed! You're the one who took advantage of me."

Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fang's face, then moved over to do a MUA.

"I can taste the steamed buns. Are we eating vegetable buns today?"

"No, no way! What you said makes me feel so disgusted!"

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang walked into the ramen restaurant while joking around, and ordered a bowl of beef ramen together. Xia Yuan asked for a small bowl and shared the ramen. After eating, the two commented on the soup base and the chewiness of the noodles, then wiped their mouths and got down to business.

Before visiting Xia Yuan's parents, Mei Fang had to prepare gifts for the visit.

Yuanyuan's father Xia Xun started over again after selling the Baimei family business. With his unique business acumen, he invested in several friends' businesses and made a fortune in the following years. According to Mei Fang's guess, Xia Yuan's father's net worth is at least tens of millions.

But Mei Fang and Xia Yuan themselves are not quite sure how much money he has now.

Faced with such a wealthy father-in-law, Mei Fang also struggled with whether or not to give him an expensive gift.

But Lin Youxi felt that since Mei Fang was planning to tell Xia Xun about the great things he had done, the gifts he would bring when he visited her would be too shabby and too student-like, so after struggling for a while, he decided to bring some famous items.

With Xia Yuan's assistance, Mei Fang was able to quickly prepare a gift for Teacher Yu - a new model of her favorite brand of perfume, which was packaged in a very stylish gift box.

But when it came to Xia Xun, Xia Yuan felt a little troubled.

"My father should like cars, but it's a bit weird to just bring a car to him. It doesn't feel like a gift at all. It's just like a betrothal gift."

"Does your father like any of these leather bags, belts, and watches?"

"It seems so-so..."

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "My dad hasn't been in good health lately, so maybe sending him some health supplements would be enough."

"You are stupid! Send health products."

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan on the head and said, "Sending health products would mean that Uncle Xia is already very old, right? We definitely can't give him that kind of thing. Uncle Xia doesn't like me that much anyway."

"My dad doesn't dislike you. He's fine."

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I call my dad and ask him what he would like me to give him—"

"Don't do anything stupid! Let me think about it..."

Mei Fang thought about it, and then asked Xia Yuan who was standing beside him, "Does your father usually carry a pen with him?"

"Yes... He often goes out to sign documents, and he carries a fountain pen with him," Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Are you going to give my father a fountain pen? But the more luxurious and famous fountain pens can only be bought in Jiangcheng."

"It's okay. My dad recently received a gift box of Lamy pens. I can give it to Uncle Xia."

"That's something for Uncle Mei. It's not good to give it to my dad."

"My dad doesn't usually use it, so at most I bought it from him, and he will definitely be happy with it."

Mei Fang and Xia Yuan made up their minds and ran home to take away Mei Lijun's gift box of pens. Mei Lijun was not happy at first and told Mei Fang that he should return the gift to others later, otherwise it would become like receiving a gift.

However, when Mei Fang gave him some cash, he was immediately delighted and helped pack the pen gift box and brought it to Mei Fang.

After completing the preparations, the next step is the formal visit.

Mei Fang rode an electric bike and took Xia Yuan back to her new home. They passed the strict security checkpoints and entered the community. Xia Yuan was not in a hurry to take Mei Fang upstairs, but instead took Mei Fang around the community.

"How is it? This new environment is pretty good, right?"

"It's not bad...but I still like the feeling of your old villa."

"Your family now has a small villa." Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's hand and hugged her. "I think we can buy a house in Jiangcheng next year. We live in too crowded now."

"I haven't decided where to go to college yet. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy a house in Jiangcheng now? Renting one is fine."

"Let's buy a house in Jiangcheng. My father was originally planning to buy a house in Jiangcheng, and he has already set his eyes on several houses. I can recommend some to us, and we can go and have a look together after school starts. Youxi will be 18 years old by then, and can buy a house on her own."

"Well...if your father recommends it, I might consider it..."

As Xia Yuan was strolling around, he brought Mei Fang to the downstairs of his own apartment building. After entering through facial recognition, they went into the elevator together and pressed the buttons for the corresponding floors.

Mei Fang followed Xia Yuan to Xia Yuan's new home and knocked on the door gently.

"Mom, I brought Ah Fang back!"

The door opened gently, and it was Teacher Yu who opened it.

"Hello, Teacher Yu."

Mei Fang nodded to her elementary school class teacher, and Teacher Yu happily led Mei Fang into the room.

"Come on... please come in. Ah Fang hasn't come to my house for dinner for a year. Today I made your favorite dish specially for you——"

"Teacher Yu, this is a gift for you..."

"Hey, you're here if you want to. Why bring a gift..."
