Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 156 - 153: What number are you?
Chapter 156: Chapter 153: What number are you?
"I’m going to sleep now, Sienna," Lu Bingran made a call to Yan Yan.
"I’ll be off late tonight, so I won’t come home.
After this side wraps up, I’ll stay at Baobao’s house, so you can sleep peacefully without waiting for me. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Tomorrow, I’ll have a meal with Qi Yi first thing in the morning, and I’ll only be arriving home in the afternoon at the earliest.
In the morning, you guys can accompany Aunt and Uncle around the neighborhood, and then decide in the afternoon if you want to go out somewhere together." Yan Yan felt a bit overwhelmed.
At this moment, Yan Yan especially hoped that Yan Ling would keep his promise to attend her graduation ceremony.
If Yan Ling were there, she wouldn’t have to worry about her aunt and uncle not fully enjoying Melbourne, while being upset about not having enough time to spend with her boyfriend.
"You’ll be with Baobao tonight? Then we won’t wait up for you, don’t stay out too late. Remember to come back early tomorrow." After advising Yan Yan, Lu Bingran hung up.
Yan Yan felt something was off, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly was the problem.
The next morning, Yan Yan got up early and went to the hotel to find Qi Yi.
"Was my miner possibly a bit upset yesterday?
You came all this way for my graduation, and I sort of left you hanging.
Otherwise, I’ll ditch everyone today and just stay with you.
The most that will happen is a few more comments like having more elbows to swing out.
Being an attractive person without humanity is considered a fine quality in my book."
Anyone who doubts this fine quality is just because they haven’t found someone good enough to rid them of their humanity.
"How could I possibly be upset after seeing Waiwai?
It was just that yesterday your aunt mentioned your parents’ expectations for your boyfriend’s family.
And it so happens that I don’t quite meet their only requirement.
So, once you finish eating, you better head back soon, to spare your parents from being even more dissatisfied with me?" Qi Yi’s tone
"What are you talking about? My parents have expectations for my boyfriend’s family?
What kind of joke are you making? What did my aunt say?
My parents haven’t even met you, and they already like you so much it might be a bit excessive.
After they meet you today, they will definitely be very pleased with your appearance.
Unless my dad is jealous of your handsomeness, he should be all smiles today." Yan Yan thought Qi Yi must have misunderstood something.
Concerning the family and the match of social standing, Yan Yan had already thoroughly discussed with her parents.
Her parents themselves were a love match without any concern about social standing.
And besides, even if there were concerns, Qi Yi’s own efforts had already been more than sufficient.
Parents care about the financial status of the male party, merely out of concern that their daughter’s life might lack security.
For Yan Yan, as long as she didn’t pick a parasite or an irredeemable loser, her open-minded parents would never have any objections.
And Qi Yi, being such an outstanding individual, there was no chance he could ever disappoint Yan Dabang and his wife.
Yan Yan knew her father, Yan Dabang, was emotional today, but that kind of emotion was just the normal reaction of a father realizing his daughter was about to be "snatched away" by someone else.
If you told Yan Yan that her uncle might have objections towards Qi Yi, she might slightly believe it, as Dingbang was usually too traditional.
But if someone said her own parents had objections against Qi Yi, Yan Yan would be the first not to believe it.
"Is that so? Your parents really like me that much? You should go and ask them yourself, and also pass on my thanks while you’re at it," Qi Yi didn’t want to immerse himself in last night’s emotions, as that was beyond his control anyway.
"Okay~ I promise to take care of that. But, there’s another quite problematic matter right now," Yan Yan looked at Qi Yi.
"What’s the matter?" Qi Yi asked Yan Yan.
"It’s this~ Could you tell me, Qi Yi, where is my graduation gift?" Yan Yan had recently become a little addicted to asking for gifts.
"Your graduation gift? I haven’t prepared it yet, I’ll let you know when I have," Qi Yi replied, in a very straightforward manner.
"No way? That doesn’t sound like your style at all," Yan Yan expressed her disbelief.
"What style? I’ve always been the type not to give gifts. Even in high school, you were the one who gave me gifts more often," Qi Yi was being too straightforward now.
"Are you here to show off, or to attend my graduation ceremony?" Yan Yan glared at Qi Yi with her most "ferocious" look, waiting for his response.
"To attend your graduation ceremony, and maybe show off a bit while I’m at it. Is that okay?" Qi Yi held Yan Yan’s hand, smiling at the ’about to explode’ Waiwai.
"Being handsome is that great, huh?" Yan Yan did not use her usual saying, "If you’re handsome, everything you say is right."
"Can’t I be a little narcissistic sometimes?" Qi Yi reached out to soothe her, pouting, and clearly showing his annoyance on his face, dealing with Yan Xiaoyan.
"Really no gift?" Yan Yan asked in a normal tone.
Actually, Yan Yan didn’t really mind about the gift that much; she mostly wanted to create a fun atmosphere and add a bit of zest to life.
If Qi Yi really hadn’t prepared anything, her recent fuss might have been quite embarrassing.
When Qi Yi graduated, Yan Yan was supposed to go, but then Qi Yi’s mother went, and she didn’t make it.
The clothes Yan Yan made for Qi Yi were initially meant as his graduation gift, but Yan Yan ended up giving them when Qi Yi had already moved from Stanford to New York.
Strictly speaking, Yan Yan hadn’t given Qi Yi a graduation gift either, so it was quite normal for Qi Yi not to think about giving one, especially since being there in person was much more important than any gift.
"Yes, but it’s not ready yet, I just have a vague idea of what to do. Once it’s ready, I’ll tell you immediately, okay?" Over a month ago, Qi Yi had started preparing a gift for Yan Yan, something she really wanted, but wasn’t easy to deliver to her.
"Really? Now I’m quite curious, if it’s a bit figured out~ why don’t you give me a little hint?" Yan Yan was curious about what Qi Yi was hinting at.
"If you can answer a very simple math question, one that involves numbers under ten, I’ll give you a hint," Qi Yi didn’t want to share details of something he wasn’t yet sure about.
"A math question involving numbers under ten? The most romantic number, right? I remember that. My hand is already in yours, do you still need to ask again?" Yan Yan thought Qi Yi was giving her an easy question.
"It has nothing to do with 5. Today’s question is, among the digits from 0 to 9, if I am 9, what number are you?" Qi Yi smiled as he posed the super simple math question to Yan Yan.
