Chapter 171 Going to His House for the New Year
Early the next morning, Ruan Fuxi drove Lu Youning to S City, and Ruan's father and mother followed in another car.
"Xixi, who are the people from your hometown? Please tell me about them first so that I can be mentally prepared." Lu Youning asked while sitting in the passenger seat and browsing his mobile phone.
Ruan Fuxi looked intently at the road ahead, a faint smile on his lips, and said slowly:
"I have quite a lot of relatives. My grandparents have three children, my uncle and my second aunt, and my dad is the youngest.
My grandparents started a company when they were young, and now my uncle is running the company. He has three children. My eldest and second cousins are married, but my third cousin is still single and is an actress.
My second aunt and her family live abroad and rarely come back. I'll introduce you to other more distant relatives when we meet."
Lu Youning listened to Ruan Fuxi's introduction and silently sorted out the relationships between these characters in his mind.
But her hands didn't stop, she continued to reply to the message on the phone screen, and said softly: "It sounds like there are indeed a lot of people. Do your cousins have children? I haven't prepared any gifts yet."
Ruan Fuxi tilted his head slightly to glance at Lu Youning, then reached out and rubbed her head. "My eldest cousin has a lovely girl who just started kindergarten this year. I've already prepared a gift for you."
Lu Youning smiled happily, "Xixi is so nice, you are so thoughtful."
After driving for most of the day, the car finally drove slowly into the yard.
Lu Youning looked at the magnificent villa in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Your house is so big and magnificent."
Ruan Fuxi pinched her cheek and said, "Let's go, let's get off the car."
"Oh, alright."
Ruan's father and mother's car also arrived, and then they got out. Ms. Liao took Lu Youning's hand and said, "Let's go in."
Lu Youning nodded shyly and followed Ms. Liao in. Ruan Fuxi and Ruan's father followed behind with things in their hands.
As soon as Ms. Liao entered the door, she shouted, "Dad, Mom, we're back."
The noise in the living room stopped and everyone looked towards the door.
Lu Youning looked up and saw the whole family sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at them with smiles on their faces.
Grandma's gentle voice came: "You're back, I'm glad you're back! I thought you could come earlier."
Ms. Liao explained: "There was a traffic jam on the highway, so I came back late."
Ruan Fuxi came over and took Lu Youning's hand to the grandparents, saying with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, this is my girlfriend, Lu Youning."
Lu Youning bowed slightly, with just the right smile on her face, and called out politely and obediently, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
Grandpa and grandma smiled until their eyes narrowed into slits. Grandpa said in a kind tone: "Well, well, you finally brought your girlfriend back."
Grandma quickly pulled Lu Youning to sit next to her, patted her hands gently and said, "Youning, you are so well-behaved, you have worked hard along the way."
Lu Youning smiled shyly and responded, "It's not hard."
Ruan Fuxi sat down next to Lu Youning and deliberately joked, "Grandma, it was very tiring for me to drive back, and you didn't even ask me."
Grandma glanced at Ruan Fuxi with a look of disapproval, then said with a smile, "You're jealous, boy! How hard can it be for a grown man like you to drive a car?"
Everyone laughed when they heard it. Lu Youning couldn't help but smile secretly and glanced at Ruan Fuxi secretly.
Ruan Fuxi reached out and stroked Lu Youning's hair, raising an eyebrow at her.
Then, Ruan Fuxi introduced her family members to her one by one, and Lu Youning greeted all the elders and brothers and sisters obediently.
Every time she called out, she received a warm and enthusiastic response from everyone, which slowly calmed her nervous mood.
At this time, a little girl over three years old gently tugged at Ruan Fuxi's hand and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, you haven't introduced me yet!"
Ruan Fuxi quickly squatted down, smiled and pinched the little girl's cheek, and said, "Oh, how could I forget our little cutie, Youning, this is my niece, Ruan Shimeng, her nickname is Mengmeng, she's so smart."
Lu Youning also squatted down and looked at the little girl with round eyes and two pigtails in front of her. Her face was full of love and she said gently, "Hello, Mengmeng, you are so cute."
Ruan Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, tilted her head to look at Lu Youning, then smiled sweetly and said in a soft voice, "Sister, you are so beautiful too, I like you." As she spoke, she actually opened her little arms for a hug.
Lu Youning's heart softened. She reached out and picked up Ruan Mengmeng, smiling and saying, "Mengmeng is so good. Sister likes you too."
The eldest cousin's wife Xie Qiaoxin stretched out her hand and coaxed, "Mengmeng, be good. Your sister just got home and is tired. Come to your mother, okay?"
Ruan Shimeng turned her face away, shook her head and said, "No, Mom, I want to play with my sister."
The family members around laughed when they saw this scene. Grandma said, "Look at these two children. They seem to be very affectionate. Mengmeng usually doesn't let others hold her easily. It seems that she and Youning have a good relationship."
Ruan Mengmeng was in Lu Youning's arms, hugging her neck, resting her little head on her shoulder, rubbing against her from time to time, and mumbling, "Sister, can you play with me? I have a lot of fun toys."
Lu Youning patted her back gently, nodded and said, "Okay, sister will play with you in a while. Sister brought you a gift, Mengmeng, do you want to see it?"
When Meng Meng heard there was a gift, her eyes lit up instantly. She immediately stood up from Lu Youning's arms and said excitedly, "Yes."
"Then let your uncle get it, okay?" Lu Youning said, looking at Ruan Fuxi.
Ruan Fuxi understood and stood up to get the gift. "Here, what do you want to say to your sister?"
Mengmeng couldn't wait to take the gift and said crisply, "Thank you, sister! Thank you, uncle." Her little face was full of anticipation. She sat on the sofa and carefully unwrapped the wrapping paper.
As the package was opened, an exquisite princess castle model was revealed inside. The castle had a pink spire and the walls were inlaid with small colorful gemstone-like decorations, which looked beautiful.
Mengmeng's eyes suddenly widened, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she excitedly held up the castle and said, "Sister, this is so beautiful, Mengmeng likes it so much. Mengmeng has several mermaid princesses, let's play house together."
Lu Youning readily agreed, "Okay, sister will play with you."
"I'll go get the mermaid princess." Mengmeng said as she jumped off the sofa and ran back to her room.
Ruan Fuxi kept an eye on Lu Youning's movements from time to time. When he saw Mengmeng running away, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You like children, so let's have one in the future."
Lu Youning's face flushed instantly. She glared at him angrily and whispered, "What are you talking about? It would be embarrassing if the elders heard it!"
Ruan Fuxi didn't take it seriously. He reached out and stroked Lu Youning's earrings. His eyes were full of doting. He lowered his voice and responded, "What's wrong with that? It's only a matter of time, my wife."
Lu Youning's face was still flushed. She turned her head away and did not answer his question.
Fortunately, Mengmeng quickly ran over with a few dolls, and then the two girls, one big and one small, started playing happily.
