Chapter 87 Why are you nervous?

Yan Changye resisted the urge to spank him, and said in a very low voice, "Go back."

Xie Jian stubbornly shook his head and refused: "No, I'm already here."

"Go back now, and I'll buy you whatever you want tomorrow." Yan Changye coaxed, but afraid that Jiang Manman inside would hear, he gently closed the door and squatted down in front of Xie Jian, speaking in a negotiating tone, "Weren't you envious of the trendy garden I built for your brother last time? I'll build you a super cool ski resort later, okay? Go back now."

Xie Jian met Yan Changye's gaze, and seeing his firm attitude, a hint of tears gradually welled up in his eyes:
"But I haven't even met her yet."

"How come I've never seen it before? I've seen it in videos so many times."

“That’s different!” Xie Jian’s childish voice was stubborn. “Only what you can touch is the real her.”

Yan Changye wanted to persuade her again, but Xie Jian's tears were already falling: "Last time I was sick and couldn't go to the capital, you promised to take me to see her when you had the chance."

Yan Changye recalled the last time his child had a fever and cried uncontrollably in front of a pile of luggage, and gradually began to waver.

He paused for a moment, then said, "You wait at the door, I... I'll go ask her first."

He turned and went inside. Jiang Manman sat there, wrapped in a blanket, and asked curiously, "Who's outside?"

Yan Changye walked to her side, observing her expression, and said casually, "Thank you for your visit."

Jiang Manman was stunned.

Yan Changye continued, "He wants to see you. Are you willing to see him?"

After saying this, he gazed quietly at Jiang Manman, waiting for her reply.

Jiang Manman threw off the covers and got up, picking up her clothes: "Wait a moment, let me tidy up."

She quickly washed up in the bathroom, changed into a conservative set of pajamas, tidied up the bathroom and bedroom, and finally hid the remaining half-box of adult products in the innermost drawer.

After doing all this, she walked to the door and opened it.

Then, with a touch of curiosity, she looked at the little child still standing at the door.

It's really small.

Compared to other children Jiang Manman had seen, Xie Jian was noticeably thinner and smaller, with a real size similar to that of a five-year-old, but if she remembered correctly, he was actually about to turn six.

But she's undeniably cute.

His round eyes looked brighter and more beautiful than in the video. His chubby face didn't actually look as fat as in the video. His features were delicate, and he was fair-skinned and clean-cut, completely unlike the slovenly appearance in the video. He looked like a pampered young master from a noble family.

Jiang Manman was somewhat lost in thought.

Little did she know, the child in front of her was also very emotional, looking up at her with long, fluttering eyelashes trembling slightly, revealing a hint of inexplicable tension.

A strange feeling welled up in Jiang Manman's heart. Although it wasn't the first time they had met, seeing each other face to face still evoked an indescribable sense of emotion. She steadied herself and knelt down with a smile: "Thank you for coming."

Xie Jian blushed shyly, a rare sight for her: "Manman!"

The next moment, he threw himself into Jiang Manman's arms.

Yan Changye stood behind Jiang Manman, watching everything silently. When he saw Xie Jian throw himself into Jiang Manman's arms without any hesitation, his eyes twitched.

My feelings are complicated, but I don't know what to say.

Jiang Manman carried Xie Jian into the room. The soft, adorable child was quite heavy in her arms, but she was reluctant to put him down. She carried him directly to the sofa before calling to Yan Changye, "Is there anything to eat? Get him some."

"What are you eating so late? It's bad for your stomach." Yan Changye brought Xie Jian's suitcase and backpack in, threw them aside, and pointed to another bedroom in the suite. "Xie Jian, it's late. If you want to chat with Manman, you can wait until tomorrow. Go to that room to sleep first." "Go by yourself! I'll sleep with Manman." Xie Jian stuck out his butt, opened his suitcase, pulled out cute cartoon pajamas, and climbed directly from the sofa onto Jiang Manman's bed.

Then, its claws wrapped around Jiang Manman's arm, and it said in a soft, sweet voice, "Manman, he's an adult and he's not afraid of the dark. I'm a child, and I'm afraid of the dark."

Jiang Manman glanced at Yan Changye, then reached out and hugged Xie Jian: "Then Auntie will take you to sleep."

Yan Changye looked at Xie Jian, who was like an octopus: "Can't you be a little more reserved on our first meeting?"

"No." Xie Jian hid himself under the covers, struggled to change into his pajamas, and then lay down next to Jiang Manman.

Looking at Xie Jian, who was very outgoing, and remembering how he always made his presence felt on WeChat, Jiang Manman finally connected her online and offline impressions. She gestured to Yan Changye, "Go sleep next door."

"I'll sleep with you all." Yan Changye hesitated for a moment, then lay down on the other side of the bed, blocking Xie Jian in the middle.

I turned off the light as well.

Only the moonlight from outside shines in, casting a blurry outline.

Her soft body snuggled into Jiang Manman's arms. Xie Jian's soft, delicate face was very close to Jiang Manman's, and her round, adorable eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

"Manman." The little voice sounded a bit unreal.

"Well, go to sleep."

Jiang Manman gently patted his back.

After a while, the chubby little paws couldn't help but gently touch her face: "Manman."

Jiang Manman gave a soft "hmm" again.

After all, the child was only five or six years old, and it was the early hours of the morning. Gradually, he began to lose his strength, and after calling his name several more times, we heard the child's soft breathing.

Yan Changye, who had been silent all along, finally found an opportunity and softly asked Jiang Manman:
"Madam, is he... very annoying?"

Jiang Manman met Xie Jian's gaze across his face. Unable to see each other's faces in the darkness, she reached out and gently placed her hand on his chest, her tone teasing:

“I didn’t sense that he was annoyed, but I could sense that you were a little nervous.”

Yan Changye was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled: "Why should I be nervous?"

"Yeah, why are you so nervous?" Jiang Manman asked, puzzled. "Your heart is pounding so fast."

Yan Changye grabbed her hand: "Don't touch me like that, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xie Jian slept until after nine o'clock in the morning.

He groggily sat up in bed. Yan Changye, dressed casually, was already sitting elegantly on the sofa, looking at reports, and casually glanced at him:
I've given you a day off today.

Xie Jian ignored him, only looking around anxiously: "Where's Manman?"

Yan Changye paused for a moment: "She's taking a bath. You just wait patiently."

Xie Jian let out a sigh of relief, obediently changed his clothes, and stared longingly at the bathroom door.

Jiang Manman didn't come out for a while. She had changed into an exquisite embroidered long dress, her hair half-up, exuding a relaxed and languid air. She looked at Xie Jian and said, "You're awake? Auntie will take you to the restaurant for breakfast."

"Let's go together." Yan Changye put down his work, picked up Xie Jian with one arm, and intertwined his fingers with Jiang Manman's with the other, and walked towards the restaurant.
