He carefully touched the crane on it; it felt delicate and warm to the touch. Every shape of the crane and every shade of the landscape was depicted vividly.
This depiction does not come from ink and brush, but from colored lines.
Xie Suixin didn't quite understand these things, and smiled, "Is this a woven painting?"
Her husband tugged at her and whispered, "This is called a kesi painting. This painting is worth at least 30 million."
Xie Suixin's brow furrowed slightly: "So expensive?"
Old Xie was so amazed he couldn't speak: "How can I accept this? The gift is far too valuable."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled faintly: "Whether a gift is valuable or not depends on who gives it. For you, it is not valuable."
Everyone could see that Mr. Xie was very fond of it.
"Xiao Wang and Shuang Jiang are really thoughtful."
"This kesi painting must have taken at least several years to complete, right? I have a small one at home, which I bought through someone else."
"This kesi painting can be considered one of the best works currently available. The double cranes wishing someone a long life have a good meaning."
Xie Suixin's expression was strange: "Is it really worth that much? Is it true?"
Her husband gave her a wink, signaling her to keep her voice down.
Overwhelmed with joy at receiving such a precious item, Mr. Xie smiled from ear to ear, carefully examining it with his hands once more: "Quickly put it away, don't get it dirty."
Ye Wangshu joked, "It seems Dad likes the Frost's Descent gift the most; it beats all of ours."
Chao Ye Wangshu smiled, and Xie Lao said, "I like not only the gift, but also you."
As it approached mealtime, Xie Wang held Ling Shuangjiang's hand and chatted in the courtyard: "When did you change the gift?"
"yesterday."
Xie Wang nodded, recalling Ling Shuangjiang's words when she gave him the gift, and gently kissed him: "Did you think I didn't prepare a gift for Grandpa?"
"right."
Xie Wang grasped his hand: "This kesi painting was sent by Mom, right? How could you be so kind? You even included me when you sent a gift."
Ling Shuangjiang said softly, "We are one."
Xie Wang hugged Ling Shuangjiang and looked down at him: "I gave Grandpa the gift a long time ago, and he liked it very much."
"So that's how it is." Ling Shuangjiang muttered to herself, "I knew you were very thorough and wouldn't overlook something like this."
Xie Wang: "Grandpa really likes your gift. I'll go back to Suzhou sometime to thank Mom. After all, she's so happy with me as her son-in-law."
Ling Shuangjiang raised the corner of her eye: "Son-in-law? Why not daughter-in-law?"
Xie Wang's expression changed slightly, and he whispered in Ling Shuangjiang's ear, "I checked online, I'm on the list, so I'm your husband."
Ling Shuangjiang remained expressionless, her eyes innocent as she pouted: "What does that mean?"
This question stumped Xie Wang.
He hadn't expected that Ling Shuangjiang wouldn't understand the meaning of "upper" and "lower".
His understanding of "Little Frost" is still too naive.
But he found it difficult to explain the science to Ling Shuangjiang.
He said in a low voice, "This is not suitable for children. I'll teach you after we live together."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled innocently: "Okay."
That smile made Xie Wang's blood boil. The heat within him seemed to be suddenly ignited, surging throughout his body.
He suppressed his desire and caressed Ling Shuangjiang's palm: "When can I teach you? Should we set a time?"
Ling Shuangjiang wrapped her arms around his waist, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "Let me think about it, Teacher Xie."
After saying this, Ling Shuangjiang turned and left.
Xie Wang smelled the lingering woody scent of Ling Shuangjiang around him, put one hand in his pocket, and straightened his chest.
Ling Shuangjiang should be very satisfied with his physique.
And it's quite big too.
His earlobes turned red, and Xie Wang touched his abs again, a smile spreading across his lips.
However, it's too big. Won't it hurt Ling Shuangjiang?
His little Shuangjiang is so thin and in poor health that he easily gets sick.
He would be heartbroken.
Xie Wang took a deep breath and unconsciously looked around the courtyard.
Since he was alone, he felt safe searching online: What should I do if it's too big and hurts my partner?
The replies below were varied and diverse.
In short: if you have experience, you'll be fine.
But it was these few words that stumped Xie Wang.
He had no experience.
He continued searching: how to improve xx experience.
Netizens replied: Watch more, practice more.
Xie Wang's expression tightened, and he fell into confusion once again.
Watching more isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Wouldn't that be considered a form of infidelity?
After all, he wanted to see other zeros.
He swore that he would never look at anyone but Ling Shuangjiang in his entire life.
As for practicing more, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It seems he can only figure it out gradually through practice.
You might feel a little unfamiliar with it at first, but it should be fine later.
During this research trip, Xie Wang learned more than just these things. For example, he discovered that a lot of preparations needed to be made in advance, such as buying certain items, to protect Ling Shuangjiang from injury.
Following the guide, Xie Wang placed orders online one by one, specifically choosing the most expensive items.
This is something that cannot be taken lightly.
He has to be responsible for his little baby.
"Brother, dinner's ready."
Xie Lin glanced at Xie Wang, who was sitting in the pavilion with a flushed face, and shouted.
Xie Wang hurriedly looked up, and in his panic, his phone fell to the ground with a "bang".
Xie Lin walked over and asked curiously, "What are you looking at? You look like a thief."
Xie Wang put his phone in his pocket and said with a slightly serious expression, "It has nothing to do with you."
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow: "You weren't watching those things you shouldn't have behind Shuangjiang's back, were you?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." Xie Wang straightened his clothes and quickly walked back to the restaurant.
Xie Lin gazed meaningfully at Xie Wang's retreating figure.
His intuition was spot on; his older brother was definitely up to something.
Back at the restaurant, Ling Shuangjiang was already sitting next to Xie Lao, waiting for Xie Wang to return.
Seeing the emerald necklace around Ling Shuangjiang's neck, Xie Wang smiled and asked, "Is this Grandma's?"
Old Xie nodded: "Yes, I've kept it for so many years, let's give it to Shuangjiang."
Ling Shuangjiang was clearly a little reserved, glancing at Xie Wang while wearing heavy accessories.
Xie Wang said, "It's still so beautiful. Since it's such a valuable item, let's put it in the box."
"It's something you wear anyway, why take it off?" Old Xie said to everyone as they arrived, "Let's eat."
The dining room at the Xie family's old house is quite large, easily accommodating five or six tables. It was lively today too, and soon everyone started chatting and laughing.
Ever since Xie Lao gave the emerald necklace to Ling Shuangjiang, Xie Suixin has never smiled.
"Such an expensive item, and you just gave it away like that."
Beside her was her aunt, who chimed in, "Yes, I also think it's a bit hasty, after all, the two aren't married yet, it's not even close to being settled."
Xie Suixin glanced at Ling Shuangjiang: "Doesn't Xiao Wang like girls? How come he's with a guy?"
The aunt chuckled softly, "Who knows? She married a man, but who will inherit all that family business? It's such a pity."
At this, Xie Suixin's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Xie Lin. If Xie Wang was destined to have no children, the family business would most likely be divided among Xie Lin's children in the future.
"Does it sink during Frost's Descent?" Xie Wang asked in a low voice.
Ling Shuangjiang glanced at Elder Xie secretly and nodded truthfully: "A little."
Xie Wang lifted the necklace for him for a while, saying, "Hold on a little longer, I'll take it off for you after we finish eating."
Ling Shuangjiang: "It's alright, I'm not that delicate."
The lively birthday banquet finally came to an end. In the evening, the Xie family was going to watch a play at the theater built by Xie Lao, so they rested in the Xie family's guest room in the afternoon.
Ling Shuangjiang suddenly received an urgent call from Li Man, so she went to the second-floor corridor to talk to her about work.
"Cover shoot tomorrow afternoon? Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Shuangjiang turned around and bumped into Xie Suixin talking to Xie Lin.
Xie Lin: "Auntie, I really don't like this type of girl. I appreciate your kindness."
Xie Suixin still held his hand: "This child is really special, you must go and meet him."
Xie Lin smiled helplessly: "But she's really not my type."
Upon discovering Ling Shuangjiang was behind him, Xie Lin greeted him and, taking advantage of Xie Suixin's distraction, quietly slipped away.
Xie Suixin was quite annoyed that Xie Lin hadn't been properly dealt with. She glanced at Ling Shuangjiang and smiled, "Shuangjiang, aren't you filming lately?"
