Chapter 19: The Intersection of Luxury and Extravagance (4)

  Everyone had a great time at dinner, although the phrase "welcome back" seemed a bit off. However, with five people soon to be living under the same roof, I didn't feel strongly repelled. Perhaps it was the neon lights of the night view that were too dazzling, I lowered my eyelids, yawning and feeling drowsy, completely unaware of my image. Luckily, I was sitting in the back seat, with my head tilted to one side, hiding many small movements.

  "Ah... we're here..." My head was stuck tightly to the car window, and I saw the twinkling lights not far away. Suddenly, my spirits lifted, and I gently knocked on the window to get Father's attention. Cheng Nuan said softly, "Guo Zhong, we're here."

  I opened the car door, and Jianbu walked ahead, taking out the keys from his bag to unlock the house door. He didn't enter immediately but instead turned around to face my father and the others, making a welcoming gesture. I thought it was already late, so they wouldn't come in for a sit, and was about to wave goodbye when suddenly the lights inside the house came on, and I turned to see Nainai standing at the entrance watching us.

  The atmosphere afterwards was a bit awkward. I stood aside and looked around, Cheng Nuan finally plucked up the courage to speak out, "Mom... hello!"

  "Mom, she's Nuan Nuan, the one I mentioned before."

  Grandma walked out of the house, looked at me for a moment, then her gaze swept over my father and landed on Cheng Nuan, her eyes calm and gentle. Her expression was the same as before, and she nodded slightly towards Cheng Nuan, "Sit down, have some tea."

  "Mom... okay!" Apparently, Cheng Nuan didn't know what to do and called out tentatively. Seeing that her grandmother didn't show any displeasure or frown, she turned her head and saw that her behavior was encouraging her. The next words came easily, "I brought some bird's nest with Guo Zong, as well as some fresh fruit that just hit the market. Would you like to try some?"

  Grandma just glanced at what they were holding in their hands, not intending to accept it. Cheng Nuan's smile was frozen, unsure whether to move forward or backward. The anxious father wanted to speak up. A flash of reluctance crossed my mind, neither towards Cheng Nuan nor the father, but rather feeling that Grandma seemed a bit strange at this moment. I still liked her always gentle expression.

  "Grandma, is there any cold water?" I pretended not to notice the tug-of-war between the adults, walked straight into the hall and sat down, poured myself a glass of cold water, and gulped it down with a gurgling sound.

  "Oh dear, Weiwei, the water is too cold, drink slowly." Grandma didn't have the heart to continue teasing Cheng Nuan, hastily brewed a pot of hot tea and forcibly exchanged cups with me.

  Dad swallowed his words and sat down on the sofa with Cheng Nuan, his expression serious. "Mom, we want to bring Weiwei back home today."
