Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 887

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (50)

Chu Xiang smiled and said, “I planned to stay for the weekend. As long as Dad Shao and Mommy Shao don’t find me troublesome.”

Mr. Shao laughed loudly and said, “Not troublesome at all. When you’re here, our home is filled with laughter and joy. Moreover, we have two puppies too, you can play with them in the future.”

Chu Xiang smiled and took out the gifts she bought to give them. Mr. and Mrs. Shao had received countless gifts before, so they no longer felt surprised. However, when they opened her gifts, they were a bit taken aback because they perfectly matched their preferences.

Mrs. Shao received a silk scarf, while Mr. Shao received cufflinks. The two gifts were not overly expensive but matched their status and style, and they were also very beautiful. They were truly thoughtful and considerate gifts. It surprised and delighted them that Chu Xiang, who had only recently come into their lives, had such great taste and understanding.

Sure enough, their son has an excellent eye for choosing friends!

Then Chu Xiang nudged Shao Yan. The Shao couple saw their son turning around and taking two bags from Xiao Zhang’s hands, handing them over to them.

The couple held their breaths. Mrs. Shao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the housekeeper to make sure he was filming before accepting the gifts with a mix of indescribable emotions.

Shao Yan gave his mother a pair of diamond earrings and his father a necktie.

Chu Xiang had serious doubts. She suspected that Shao Yan chose these two items because they were what he saw most often when he looked at his parents. Clothes were hard to buy without knowing the sizes, so it made sense to opt for accessories that were less likely to go wrong.

What was more Shao Yan had good taste. The gifts he chose perfectly matched his parents’ style. They were genuinely overjoyed. Mrs. Shao immediately took off her old earrings and replaced them with the new ones. Mr. Shao, despite wearing a casual round-neck home outfit, immediately put on the necktie.

The two of them lowered their heads to arrange their gifts, but Chu Xiang noticed their reddened eyes and slightly trembling hands.

She smiled. Regardless of the time, this kind of warmth and affection always attracted her.

She nudged Shao Yan and when he looked at her, she said, “You see, you have such good taste. The necktie looks particularly fitting and handsome on Dad Shao, and the earrings look beautiful and enhance Mommy Shao’s elegance, don’t they?”

Shao Yan looked at his parents, and they both looked up at him with anticipation. He nodded seriously and seconded, “They look good.”

The Shao couple instantly burst into laughter. “They look good, yes, they look good. We really like them! Xiangxiang, you’ve chosen well.”

Mrs. Shao also put on the silk scarf. Mr. Shao couldn’t wear the cufflinks, but he took them out and compared them for a while, clearly liking them very much.

Seeing how much they liked the gifts from Chu Xiang and being even happier than when he gave them his own gifts, Shao Yan visibly relaxed.

After all these years of not hearing their son speak, the Shao couple naturally paid great attention to every expression he made. Now, they could easily tell whether he was happy or angry. At this moment, they once again confirmed one thing: their son cared about Chu Xiang, cared very, very, very much.

And so, they also cared about Chu Xiang and treated her as their own daughter, showering her with affection!

After the Shao couple’s excitement subsided, they went upstairs and carefully stored the gifts in the safe. They also checked the video recorded by the housekeeper, saving the footage on their phones and computers so they could watch it anytime they wanted.

From their initial excitement when their son showed some changes, to him being willing to speak, write, and communicate with them through WeChat, to today, personally selecting gifts to give them, each breakthrough filled them with excitement. It also allowed them to have a bit of calmness in the face of their son’s changes. Their previously excited hearts quickly settled down.

It was because they saw hope for the future. This kind of thing wasn’t just once, not twice, not three or four times, but it would fill their entire lives in the future. They hadn’t felt this hopeful in many years. They were akin to a dying tree that had suddenly encountered a sweet rain, making even the surrounding air come alive.

Mr. and Mrs. Shao were especially grateful to Chu Xiang. They asked the kids to go and change into comfortable home clothes to rest, and then the couple went into the kitchen together to cook.

As soon as Shao Yan went upstairs, he immediately took Chu Xiang to see the puppies. The puppies had already been moved to his room for easy care at night.

Chu Xiang saw the two small golden retriever puppies, which looked nothing like adult golden retrievers, and she was a little surprised. “This is the first time I’ve seen such small puppies. Why didn’t I personally raise a pet before?”

Shao Yan wanted to pick up the puppies to show her, but Chu Xiang stopped him with her hand. “They’re sleeping, don’t disturb them. Anyway, I’m here all weekend, so we have plenty of time.”

Shao Yan nodded and whispered, “Let’s go, to your room, let’s rearrange it.”

Chu Xiang noticed that when they were alone, he could clearly speak a few more words. In the adjacent room, she saw the thoughtfully arranged comfortable room and smiled. “I really like it. Thank you! Alright, hurry up and change clothes. After we finish eating, we’ll come up and play with the puppies.”

“Yeah.” Shao Yan saw that she liked his home, and he felt happy in his heart too.

The dinner that day was lavish, and not all of it was prepared by the Shao couple, but each of them still cooked a couple of dishes. Chu Xiang graciously ate a lot. Seeing that she enjoyed eating, Shao Yan followed suit, all the while the Shao couple watched them happily.

After ten years, the Shao residence finally became warm again.

After the meal, Mrs. Shao immediately took out two cards and handed them to Chu Xiang. “Xiangxiang, this is a gift from me and your Dad Shao to you. We didn’t prepare it last time, so we’re making up for it now.”

Chu Xiang didn’t react. What was up with this family? Why did they all like giving cards? She was about to decline, but Mrs. Shao held her hand and said, “It’s just a small token of our affection. If you buy snacks with it, you mustn’t refuse.”

Since they put it that way, she might as well accept it.

Chu Xiang sweetly smiled and said, “Thank you, Dad Shao. Thank you, Mommy Shao.”

“Ah, you’re so sweet!” Mrs. Shao was especially happy. She really felt that Chu Xiang was an important person to the Shao family and she wanted to snatch her over!

Mr. Shao was also thinking the same thing as his wife, and he even started pondering what business Chu belonged to.

But Shao Yan was a little unhappy. How come Chu Xiang didn’t want the card he gave, but she accepted the one from his parents? His parents were trying to snatch Chu Xiang away from him!

Shao Yan immediately stood up, grabbed Chu Xiang’s sleeve, and said two words, “The puppies.”

Chu Xiang looked up at him. “Do you want to go see the puppies? Shall we make a comfortable nest for them first?”

Shao Yan nodded. Chu Xiang greeted the Shao couple and went upstairs with him.

It was a coincidence that just after the two of them crouched in front of the two puppies for a while, the puppies timidly opened their eyes for the first time since birth. Their innocent and naive gaze could melt anyone’s heart!

Chu Xiang stared at them without blinking. “They’re so adorable!”

Shao Yan looked at her and thought to himself, Yes, adorable.
