Chapter 811: Why in God’s Name
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling obediently went to Li Lei’s house.

The spacious apartment was filled with all sorts of things such as silk, dark sea pearls, black jade, chess pieces made of fine white tallow jade, toy guns, toy cars, and sweets.

Xia Ling did not realize what was going on. “What are you doing?”

Li Lei said, “See if there’s anything missing. The first time we go to your house, we should give your dad, mom, and your brother something. Do you think these things are suitable?”

Xia Ling was stunned. How would she know if they were suitable? “I prepared something for them before, but I specially made a call to ask my brother for advice. In the end, he refused to tell me what my parents liked and told me not to prepare anything. All I had to do was go home.” She said very honestly.

Li Lei was also dumbfounded. “That’s why you’re prepared to go home empty-handed?”

Xia Ling replied, “Of course not. I wrote a special song for them about their selfless love.”

Li Lei didn’t know how to respond.

Xia Ling walked into the pile of gifts and commented. “Pearl, agate, and white jade? They are expensive, but how do you know if they’ll like them?”

Li Lei said proudly, “Isn’t this simple? I already expected this day to happen, so I already talked to Shaohui from the start and gained a clear understanding of what your parents like.” He did not prepare those gifts blindly. Her brother liked tea, so he prepared the finest Laoshan white tea which was picked from the only remaining authentic Dahongpao tea. Only three batches of tea were produced in a year. He heard that her dad liked to play chess, so he prepared a chessboard made of thousand-year-old agarwood. The black chess pieces were made of black jade while the white chess pieces were made of white jade. The craftsmanship was excellent and was an underrated work of art. He heard that her mother liked to shop, so he prepared rare satin from the Nordic countries. This kind of satin was very difficult to find and was extremely gorgeous. It kept people warm in winter and cool in summer, and its making would soon be a lost skill.

He also bought toy cars and toy guns for Shaohui, pearl bracelets for the other people in the family, and candy for the children. He considered every aspect thoroughly.

Xia Ling was speechless. “How long exactly have you started thinking about this after Shaohui was gone?”

Li Lei smiled. “It’s a matter of sooner or later, don’t you think?”

Xia Ling fell silent. She was really touched. He was really thoughtful and even managed to do something she did not even consider so well. She ignored the fact that he talked about his parents so casually and said, “Since Shaohui said that, it must be true. Shaohui understands them better than me.”

Li Lei nodded. “I think so too.”

Xia Ling glared at him. Seriously, can’t be he say something nice?

She deliberately bickered with him. “What if Shaohui’s report is wrong?”

Li Lei flashed a toothy smile. “When he’s back, I will teach him a lesson!”

Xia Ling replied, “You’re not allowed to hit my son.”

Li Lei said, “Your son betrayed me.”

These two people started arguing about something that did not even happen. Xia Ling took a pillow on the couch and hurled it at Li Lei. Li Lei smiled and blocked it from hitting him. At once, feathers fluttered all over the living room.
