Chapter 288: Gifts
Ou Yuanlan arrived before Bai Luo, and when he walked into the room, Jiang Nuan also joked to him: "Mr. Ou, with your patronage, my little family is really splendid!" ”
Without waiting for Ou Yuanlan to speak, Lin Qingqing glanced at her first. "Nuan Nuan, can you stop sarcastically mocking us!" She replied angrily.
Jiang Nuan turned around and stuck out her tongue at Lin Qingqing, and then she turned around and went to prepare tea for Ou Yuanlan. The relationship between the two of them is too good, even if one is alive and the other is down, they will not be jealous and resentful.
"Did you bring the gifts?" Lin Qingqing lowered his voice and asked Ou Yuanlan.
Ou Yuanlan, who has always been very calm and reliable, how could he forget what Lin Qingqing repeatedly explained to her. "Of course." He handed the paper bag in his hand to Lin Qingqing.
Opening the paper bag and looking at the burgundy leather bag inside, Lin Qingqing smiled knowingly. This is what she specially prepared for Jiang Nuan, and it should come in handy now.
Jiang Nuan, who came over with tea, was still a little confused, and looking at the malicious smile on Lin Qingqing's face, she shrank back. "Don't look at me with such a sinister smile, I'm afraid!" She looked creepy.
At this time, Lin Qingqing couldn't care so much, she took the tea in Jiang Nuan's hand and put it on the coffee table, and then hooked her neck with one hand. "Look, honey, do you like it?" She looks like she is giving gifts, like a big sum of money to support the mistress.
Suspiciously, she opened the paper bag, and when she saw the bag inside, she couldn't help but be moved. Slowly reached out and took out the burgundy bag from the bag, rubbing it in his hand repeatedly.
"Okay, don't be too impressed, it's not too expensive!" Looking at Jiang Nuan's touched appearance, Lin Qingqing suddenly felt a little unaccustomed.
Jiang Nuan turned his head and glared at her. "I think about it too much, next time I remember to buy LV, CK wants me to be moved, you save it!"
After all, it's someone who is too familiar, and all the warmth can't be said properly. On the contrary, you can only express your care in this way.
In fact, Lin Qingqing did it on purpose, when she bought a gift at that time, she did her homework seriously, and even wanted to buy tens of thousands of LV as a gift, so that even if Jiang Nuan went to work in the future, it would be more face-saving to carry it out.
However, when she consulted Ou Yuanlan, a man who had always been of the highest quality actually suggested that she buy a more affordable gift. The reason is that Jiang Nuan's current economic situation is not very ideal, and buying her too expensive bags will only make her feel pressured. Besides, even if she works, she may not be able to carry such a good bag.
A manager-level person has 10,000 LV on his back, and others will think that this woman is independent and has elegant taste. And ordinary workers carry LV, either they are too beautiful to be raised, or they are rich second generations, or they are high-end A goods.
To sum up, Lin Qingqing still chose CK, which is relatively close to the people in terms of price and quality. A girl's love for bags and clothes is almost innate, but these behaviors must be done within their means.
Looking at this bag now, Jiang Nuan was not moved by the gift itself, but by Lin Qingqing who protected her vulnerable self-esteem.
Her current situation is indeed not optimistic, and it can even be said that it is extremely bad. But if her best friend gave her high-end gifts, or directly used money to help her, it would only make her feel embarrassed.
It is not difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but the difficult thing is to make people feel comfortable. In the case of a very different situation, your help is acceptable to him, without pity and sympathy, which is invaluable.
The chef had already prepared the meal and served it to the table, and the smell of the food filled the room, making people swallow their mouths.
Raising his head and glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, Jiang Nuan turned his head and said to Lin Qingqing, "Let's eat first." There was a hint of impatience on her face.
It was too early for Bai Luo to get off work, but the clock turned round and round, and he still didn't come back. Maybe he's busy with work, or maybe he's forgotten that it's his birthday.
"Wait a little longer." Lin Qingqing raised his hand and covered the back of Jiang Nuan's hand.
Probably a person who is pregnant with a child has become much gentler for no reason. Although the baby in her belly was criing that she was hungry, she was determined to wait.
Right now, Jiang Nuan and Bai Luo have experienced too many bad things, and they can no longer withstand any destruction between them, not even the slightest crack.
After waiting patiently for another ten minutes, the door to the apartment was finally opened. Accompanied by Bai Luo, there was also the cold evening of S City, which was already windy.
"Why did you come back?" Jiang Nuan's tone was obviously unhappy. "I don't know if they came over today?"
Bai Luo, who was standing at the door, looked very cramped. "I'm sorry, the company has a small project that hasn't been handled, so I have added a little shift." He said apologetically.
"Alright, let's eat." Jiang Nuan looked at Bai Luo, and then stood up from the carpet by himself.
She didn't want to lose her temper, but she couldn't control it. During this time she was like a cat in extreme terror, and the slightest trifle could make her jump.
Touching his nose, Bai Luo lowered his head and went to the bathroom. Lin Qingqing pulled Ou Yuanlan's sleeves, and the two of them slowly followed to the table and sat down.
Several people had also eaten together before, and at that time, Bai Luo and Jiang Nuan had not had such an accident. The four of them sat together, two men talking about business and two women gossiping.
But now, that equilibrium between several people has been broken. They were in a precarious state, and no one knew when the rope in the middle would break, and several of them would fall together.
When Bai Luo came out after washing his hands, they had already sat down at the dining table. "Today's dish is so hearty?" He showed a pretended relaxed smile, and then sat down beside Jiang Nuan.
With a smile back, Lin Qingqing said casually: "Bai Shao, you are outside!" Her familiar title made several people almost return to that pure white school days.
"Let's eat." Jiang Nuan reminded absentmindedly. She didn't seem to be happy today, especially when Bai Luo entered the door, she seemed to be extremely unhappy.
"Wait." Bai Luo blocked. He winked at the crowd, then pulled out a small suede box from his jacket pocket. "Nuan Nuan, happy birthday." He opened the box and said affectionately.
Lin Qingqing gossiped her head to look, but when she saw a heart-shaped diamond necklace lying quietly in Cartier's dark blue suede gift box, she was a little disappointed for no reason.
Jiang Nuan, who felt the same way as Lin Qingqing, her face was getting worse and worse at this time, like a mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
