Chapter 562 Extra Thank You Banquet (29)
However, it was only then that Jiang Wantang discovered that the rows and rows of carved golden nanmu wardrobes in this huge bedroom were actually filled with clothes prepared just for her...
There are all kinds of colors and styles, neatly arranged and easy to see at a glance.
Xie Zhiyan walked straight to the wardrobe filled with red clothes and picked out a red long dress with wide sleeves for her. The lapels, cuffs and hem of the dress were inlaid with tiny gems, which sparkled and looked gorgeous and luxurious.
Jiang Wantang took a look, and his eyes brightened noticeably.
But the next moment, she turned and walked to the wardrobe at the end, and picked out a pink and blue brocade dress that looked more gentle and dignified from the light-colored dresses.
Xie Zhiyan frowned slightly. He knew that Jiang Wantang didn't like this type of color and style.
Just like last time, she chose a more gentle dress just to make a good impression in front of her elders.
He knew that although she didn't say it, she was still worried that his family would dislike her.
Her being so well-behaved and sensible only made Xie Zhiyan feel more distressed.
He doesn't need her to be well-behaved and sensible, he just wants her to grow freely like the crabapple flowers in the mountains, without caring about other people's opinions, living a bright and colorful life, and being unrestrained.
But he also understood that this was due to her loneliness and lack of love since childhood...
She should have been a crabapple blossoming in spring, but this flower had been swaying in the wind and rain for too long, and even its blooming was cautious.
Only enough love can teach her to stop worrying about gains and losses.
Therefore, loving someone is like raising flowers, and pampering them is also like watering them.
No matter how difficult it is to grow this crabapple flower of his, he will take care of it again with all his heart until it blooms brightly again.
So, Xie Zhiyan walked over and hugged her tightly from behind.
Jiang Wantang's body stiffened instinctively, but there was no rejection or resistance.
Xie Zhiyan raised the corners of her lips slightly. After all the little fights yesterday, she had gradually begun to adapt to the close contact with him.
From holding hands, hugging, kissing, to...
If you make progress little by little, and do it many times, you will gradually accept him.
And now Jiang Wantang treats him not as politely as before, but with a distance.
As expected, one cannot behave like a gentleman in front of the little fox.
The sudden hug made Jiang Wantang feel a little at a loss, but she did not feel any disgust or discomfort.
Xie Zhiyan hugged her tightly, so she let him hold her.
Someone took advantage of the situation and turned the person over and hugged him tightly in his arms in an intimate manner.
After a long while, Jiang Wantang finally reached out her little hand to push him, and whispered, "Let go, it's too late..."
Xie Zhiyan chuckled in her ear and then let go of her hand.
Jiang Wantang turned around and was about to take the pink and blue dress to change, but Xie Zhiyan grabbed her hand.
Jiang Wantang turned around and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Xie Zhiyan leaned over and looked her in the eye. His deep eyes were filled with gentle warmth. He said seriously, "Tangtang can wear whatever she likes and do whatever she likes. Don't worry about what others think."
Jiang Wantang was stunned and silent for a moment, but she still chose the light blue dress.
Xie Zhiyan smiled and patted her head, saying, "Okay, Tangtang can wear whatever she chooses."
He didn't say anything. After Jiang Wantang went into the inner room to change her clothes, he went out and changed into a blue brocade robe of similar color and came to wait for her to get dressed.
When the two went to pay their respects to Madam Xie in her courtyard, Lord Xie Chong and Madam Xie were also sitting there drinking tea, talking and laughing in the courtyard. It was obvious that Lord Xie Chong was waiting there for them to come.
When they saw Jiang Wantang, they were much more enthusiastic than last time. After offering tea, they gave her a lot of good things.
Jiang Wantang couldn't refuse the kindness, so she looked at Xie Zhiyan who was standing beside her. The latter was not polite at all and accepted it all for her.
Old Madam Xie and Madam Hou pulled Jiang Wantang to sit next to them. The more they looked at her, the more they liked her. They talked to her a lot and treated her like one of their own.
Even though they all knew that the two did not consummate their marriage last night, they would not interfere too much in young people's affairs, as they were all experienced people.
Especially Madam Xie, who was a female general who had fought in the battlefield in the past. She had seen everyone. When she saw Jiang Wantang for the first time, she was not only stunned but also felt that she was a good girl and a perfect match for her grandson.
Then she looked at her cold grandson and saw clearly the love that could not be hidden in his eyes when he looked at the little girl.
Old Madam Xie knew her grandson best. He had been upright, self-disciplined and polite since he was young, and he had a cold personality. The fact that he was willing to do anything to snatch the bride in public must mean that he loved the girl very much.
It's impossible not to get it.
After all, it was his own grandson who used some tricks to forcefully marry the girl.
Based on these points, they all wanted to treat Jiang Wantang as well as possible.
Besides, their Marquis' Mansion lacks nothing except a granddaughter-in-law/daughter-in-law. After knowing Jiang Wantang's miserable life, they felt pity for her and wanted to give her more of everything.
Jiang Wantang was a little uncomfortable with their enthusiasm at first, even a little reserved, but Xie Zhiyan stayed by her side, holding her hand tightly...
When she didn't know what to say or how to reply, he would just say and reply for her without even asking her for a look.
Gradually, Jiang Wantang began to relax a little.
The family sat together, talking and laughing, having a great time.
At this moment, this scene is exactly what Jiang Wantang had been looking forward to for a long time - the warmth of home.
It is much warmer than the home in the Jiang Mansion, there is simply no comparison.
There was no way she couldn't help being moved.
Soon, it was lunchtime and the whole family sat together to eat.
The table was filled with dishes, all of which were Jiang Wantang’s favorites.
Jiang Wantang looked at Xie Zhiyan who was serving her soup.
When she looked over, she met his gentle smiling eyes.
Old Madam Xie looked at the eye contact between the two young people and smiled quietly from ear to ear.
