Chapter 483 My floor isn't as clean as your shoes.
Xie Shuyao's eyes widened in surprise. After realizing what was happening, she grabbed Ming Nianxi's arm.
She lowered her voice excitedly, "My dearest friend! Isn't Lu Boyi the heir of the Licheng Group?! I'm counting on you from now on! I've finally hooked up with a tycoon!"
Ming Nianxi blushed slightly as she was held tightly in her arms.
She turned her face away shyly, saying, "Don't exaggerate like that."
Xie Shuyao let go of her hand, grabbed her hand, and headed towards the mall: "Hurry, hurry, there are still two hours before the mall closes, we need to quickly pick out some gifts for you to meet the parents!"
The two entered the mall, but Ming Nianxi suddenly stopped.
A look of bewilderment crossed her face: "Oh no, I don't even know who Lu Boyi's family is, how many gifts should I buy?"
Xie Shuyao patted her on the shoulder and suggested, "Why don't you call Lu Boyi and ask? That way you can buy the right thing for your needs."
Ming Nianxi shook her head: "No need, let me think about it myself... His parents, grandparents, great-grandparents are definitely here, his second brother is in Pengcheng, so he shouldn't be home, and his third brother and fourth sister are in Beijing. So, there are a total of eight people."
Xie Shuyao nodded: "That's about it. But there are quite a few people. I have 20,000 yuan of my own savings here, I'll lend it to you first, so don't be too stingy when you buy gifts."
Ming Nianxi smiled and shook her head, refusing: "No need, I have five thousand yuan on hand, that's enough. Besides, you know my family's situation, just buy what I can afford. Families like theirs have seen all sorts of expensive things, the thought is enough."
Xie Shuyao thought about it and agreed with her, nodding, "That's true, the sentiment is more important than the price."
Ming Nianxi picked out some exquisite and practical little things, which weren't expensive.
They all showed care and attention; even though they bought everything for the whole family, they didn't pack much stuff.
When the two got home, it was almost eleven o'clock. After washing up, they quickly sat on the bed and packed their luggage.
Xie Shuyao frowned as she looked at the old clothes Ming Nianxi was holding.
He reached out and picked up her new clothes that were lying to the side: "Didn't you buy a lot of new clothes today? How can you wear old clothes to meet my parents? Bring new ones, it will make you look presentable."
Ming Nianxi glanced at the new clothes, smiled, and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"That's more like it."
Xie Shuyao helped her fold the new clothes and put them in her suitcase, then instructed her, "Their family lives in Beijing, so they must have many relatives visiting. You need to pay more attention to your image and dress yourself up properly. Even if they don't care, you have to take it to heart and not lose your composure."
Ming Nianxi felt a warmth in her heart and nodded earnestly, "I understand, thank you Yao Yao, it's good that you reminded me."
She and Xie Shuyao were classmates in junior high school and in the same class in high school. They can be considered best friends who grew up together.
Unfortunately, they didn't get into the same university after the college entrance exam, but fortunately, they both stayed in Beijing.
Ming Nianxi was admitted to Peking University, while Xie Shuyao entered an ordinary management school.
That's why Ming Nianxi only applied to Licheng Group after graduation, while Xie Shuyao tried but failed to get in and ended up working for an ordinary financial company.
Watching her busy figure, Xie Shuyao suddenly sighed, her voice tinged with grievance: "What am I going to do, Xixi? I'll miss you so much. You just got a boyfriend, and now you're going to meet his parents. Does that mean you'll have to move in with him from now on?"
Ming Nianxi stopped what she was doing, turned around, and smiled as she ruffled her hair: "How could that be? We've only known each other for a short time, it's still early days."
"Don't worry, even if I get married in the future, I will still live in this neighborhood, and we will still be able to see each other every day. We won't be separated."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shuyao's aggrieved expression vanished instantly, and her eyes lit up: "That's right, that seems to be it! Xixi, my future marriage depends on you. If you find someone suitable, remember to introduce them to me immediately!"
Ming Nianxi patted her chest, her face full of assurance: "Don't worry! Or I can 'take care' of Zhao Yizhi and make you my sister-in-law, then we'll be family!"
Xie Shuyao quickly waved her hand, looking disgusted: "No, no, no, forget it! The second son of the Lu family, he doesn't seem to have a brain, yet he insists on entering the entertainment industry."
"If it weren't for my family's connections, I'd probably have been sold out and still be counting the money for them. I can't afford that."
Ming Nianxi couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I'll help you look around some more, I'll definitely find you someone reliable."
"Mmm, Xixi is the best!" Xie Shuyao smiled and hugged her arm, her eyes full of anticipation.
The next morning, not long after dawn, Ming Nianxi had almost finished packing her luggage.
Just then, the doorbell rang. As she was about to answer it, she heard Xie Shuyao's voice coming from the living room.
Xie Shuyao got up exceptionally early today. Before she even went to work, she opened the door to find Lu Boyi there, carrying three breakfasts.
Her eyes lit up, and she smiled and joked, "Hey, best friend's husband, good morning!"
Upon hearing the words "best friend's husband," Lu Boyi's eyes lit up with a smile.
He handed over the breakfast: "Good morning, I brought you breakfast."
Xie Shuyao took the breakfast and called out towards the bedroom, "Xixi, your boyfriend is here to pick you up! Come out and have breakfast!"
Ming Nianxi's clear voice came from the bedroom: "Okay, okay, I'm coming right away!"
Lu Boyi walked into the room, subconsciously looking around, wanting to find shoe covers to change into.
Since it was my first time visiting Ming Nianxi's place, I didn't want to be too casual.
Xie Shuyao saw through his thoughts, waved her hand, and said with a smile, "No need to change shoe covers, don't worry, my floor isn't as clean as your shoes."
As they were talking, Ming Nianxi came out of the bedroom.
She was wearing the white dress Lu Boyi had bought for her yesterday. The skirt draped gently, accentuating her slender figure and giving her a gentle yet graceful demeanor.
She also wore a light layer of makeup, which made her already beautiful features even more exquisite.
Her eyes and brows were full of tenderness, a perfect picture of a pure and innocent first love.
Lu Boyi was instantly stunned, his gaze fixed on her, his eyes filled with amazement.
The entire Lu family was known for their good looks, but he was still momentarily stunned by Ming Nianxi before him.
—This is probably the kind of partner he's always been looking for: clean, gentle, and with a sparkle in her eyes.
Ming Nianxi felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stepped forward to gently tug at his sleeve: "Don't just stand there, it's time for breakfast."
Lu Boyi then came to his senses, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hoarseness: "Okay."
Xie Shuyao watched the two of them and couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she quietly set out the breakfast.
He took three sets of bowls and chopsticks, deliberately putting his own aside and placing Lu Boyi's and Ming Nianxi's together. He then sat opposite Nianxi and quietly watched the two of them.
Breakfast was quickly finished. Xie Shuyao picked up her bag, waved to the two of them, and said, "I'm going to work now, Xixi. Remember to let me know you've arrived safely in Beijing. Lu Boyi, you'd better take good care of our Xixi!"
"Don't worry, I will." Lu Boyi nodded seriously.
