The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Hearing her name called, Chun turned around and saw Marissa. She smiled and said to her, "Marisa, what are you doing here? I was just looking for you. You were building a snowman outside and then you disappeared."

"Xiao Chunan had something to say, so he called me into the house."

Marissa had run all the way here, climbing stairs and running down the corridor, and was now panting heavily, her face flushed. Seeing her blushing face, Chun looked at her suspiciously, wondering what she had been doing inside.

Marissa, seeing Chun's gaze, said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Oh dear! Chun, what are you thinking about? We were really talking about business, we weren't doing anything else!"

"Okay, okay, I understand," Chun replied perfunctorily. "So, how did you end up here?"

"I almost forgot about the important matter. Is Aunt Liu in her room?"

"Yes, yes, but they haven't gotten up yet. They're still in bed playing on their phones. I'm just here to bring them breakfast. Otherwise, Aunt Liu and Miss Heinrich might not have left their rooms until lunchtime."

"Awake but not out of bed yet... Would it be inappropriate for me to go in?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Aunt Liu is very easygoing. If there's anything you need to do, just go in." Chun said, sounding very experienced in this regard.

Upon hearing this, Marissa did not hesitate. She gently knocked on the door and then pushed it open to go inside.

Yan Liu and Heinrich were indeed awake, but neither of them showed any intention of getting out of bed to change their clothes. Heinrich was holding a remote control in his hand, which was the remote control for drone photography.

She was operating a drone, flying it around Glory Island, filming the real-time snow scene, and projecting the aerial footage onto the ceiling. Yan Liu lay in bed, staring at the image on the ceiling, unwilling to get up or move, occasionally asking Heinrich to fly it elsewhere.

"Marisa, what brings you here? Did someone tell you to wake us up? Tell that person that Heinrich and I will go down at noon."

Marissa looked up at the image on the ceiling, found it beautiful and lingered for a few more glances, but didn't forget her business.

"No, I just wanted to ask Aunt Liu and Miss Heinrich what they like?"

"Why are you asking this?" Yan Liu asked, puzzled, not thinking it was something that needed to be asked in her room.

"Because Xiao Chunan was going to give you gifts, he promised in the secret room of the castle, but he couldn't think of anything, so he asked me to come and think of something. But I didn't know what you liked, so I came to ask..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Liu lost all desire to stay in bed and wished she could leave the room right now and drag the little brat in.

Heinrich noticed that Marissa's tone was weak and she seemed a little guilty, guessing that someone had probably told her to say that.

The only person in the family who would dare to use Yan Liu as a pawn to teach Xiao Chunan a lesson is probably Yu Tang.

"Marisa, did Yutang send you to find Yanliu?"

Marissa's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, her face unable to contain her surprise. Sister Yutang and Miss Heinrich are so amazing! How could they know what was going on behind the scenes as soon as she opened her mouth!

"Yes." She didn't hide it, and felt there was no need to hide it anymore. No wonder Sister Delia and the others admired Miss Heinrich so much.

Heinrich nodded, indicating that everything was alright and that he did not blame anyone.

"Should I go and call Xiao Chunan?" Marissa asked.

"No need, just use Yan Liu's phone to send a message and tell Xiao Chunan to come over. Do you like watching aerial snow scenes? If you want to see them, come up and sit down."

Yan Liu thought it made sense. Why bother going to find Xiao Chunan herself? It would be better to have the little brat come over. So she handed her phone to Marissa and went to wash up first, waiting for Xiao Chunan to come over.

Chapter 49 Spanking

Chu Yinan happily returned to his room, only to find Marissa not there. He searched the bathroom and other areas but couldn't find her anywhere.

"Huh, where did he go? Did he go back to his room to change clothes? That must be it."

Without giving it much thought, he comfortably lay down on the bed, took out his phone, and started browsing online stores to pick out a gift for Marissa.

"There are still a lot of plush things, like plush toys, and very furry cats, like Maine Coons?"

Chu Yinan scrolled through the screen, finding it difficult to choose. However, this was already quite good, as she had at least learned a keyword. If she hadn't learned some tips from Yu Tang, she might still be completely lost when opening shopping apps, not knowing where to start.

"Ah, outsourcing this task feels so great! Maybe I should ask Chun later what kind of plush toys girls usually like. Let's brainstorm and come up with ideas from all sides, this is the most sincere approach!"

But thinking about this, Chu Yinan suddenly realized that he had gone too far, making Marissa think of gifts for so many people all by herself, which was very difficult!

Perhaps he could refine the process, having Yu Tang help think of Aunt Liu's ideas, Aunt Liu help think of Heinrich's ideas, Heinrich help think of Aunt Morgan's ideas, and then have Sister Xuan Ya and Aunt Xuan En help each other think of ideas.

This way, the tasks were broken down to each individual, which made things much easier. They weren't under pressure, and neither was Chu Yinan. In the end, they each received a gift that was reasonably satisfactory, making it a complete victory!

A world where no one suffers or toil will be complete!

Just as he was getting more and more excited, he suddenly received a message from Aunt Liu on his phone. Chu Yinan's expression immediately turned serious, and he opened the message with a respectful attitude.

Aunt Liu: Come to my room.

Chu Yinan: "..."

Subconsciously, he had a bad feeling, but it wasn't particularly strong.

It shouldn't be anything special. Aunt Liu hasn't seen him all morning, so it's normal for her to send him a message now!

Not long after leaving the house, Chu Yinan bumped into Chun, a little maid carrying a basket of clothes, which she had washed and was preparing to put away for Chu Yinan.

"Where is Xiao Chunan planning to go?"

"Go find Aunt Liu. Have you seen Marissa? I'm worried she might come looking for me and not see me. If you run into her, please tell her for me."

"Oh? Marissa just went to Aunt Liu's room, she shouldn't be back so soon, unless she runs. If you go now, you should be able to see her on the way."

Um? ? ? ?

Marissa went to see Aunt Liu? What did she go to see Aunt Liu for?

That ominous premonition could intensify, like the vague unease in the anus when the urge to defecate arises.

"Did she say what she was going to do with Aunt Liu?" Chu Yinan quickly pressed for an answer.

"No, what's wrong? Xiao Chunan, you look terrible. Did you do something wrong and get caught?"

Chu Yinan was speechless and walked heavily toward Aunt Liu's room.

After walking quickly for five or six minutes with uneasy steps, Chu Yinan finally arrived at Aunt Liu's bedroom.

He opened the door and cautiously poked his head inside. Aunt Liu's voice came through: "Come here."

Chu Yinan, as if sentenced to death, walked over with a hint of despair and saw Marissa being held by Heinrich and watching the aerial snow scene. Aunt Liu had just finished washing up and was sitting in front of the dressing table putting on some simple makeup.

"Aunt Liu, what can I do for you?"

Yan Liu put down the lipstick, pulled him onto the bed and hugged him. Chu Yinan's heart pounded. He looked at Marissa, wanting to ask what was going on. Had he been betrayed?

However, Marissa did not respond to Xiao Chu Nan's gaze. The girl was also very guilty, feeling that she was the one who caused Xiao Chu Nan to be punished. She dared not look at Xiao Chu Nan, her expression stiff with a hint of reluctance. She looked up at the snow scene on the ceiling, pretending that she knew nothing.

"Little Chu Nan, how's the gift I asked you to prepare coming along?" Aunt Liu looked at him with a smile and wrapped her arms around him.

Although he was nestled in Aunt Liu's warm and comforting embrace, Chu Yinan felt a chill in his heart. As soon as he heard the question, he knew something was wrong.

When the affair between the middleman was really exposed, it shouldn't have happened. How could it have been exposed? Why would Marissa come to Aunt Liu's place for no reason?

He couldn't understand it!

"Why aren't you saying anything? You've been back from the secret room for several days now. You had a nosebleed and rested for a day, so I won't force you. You should have some progress by now. There are 24 hours in a day. Let's say you have 10 hours of normal activity time. That's 20 hours of thinking time in two days. You can even have 2 hours left over after thinking about someone!"

Yan Liu placed her jade-like hand on the little boy's chin, pinching his cheeks, trying to see why he hadn't made a sound.

"I... thought of Marissa, and I'm thinking about what plush toy to give her."

While Yan Liu was washing up, she had already heard Marisa finish telling her the whole story. Marisa had originally wanted to help Xiao Chunan beautify himself, saying that he had thought of some gifts, but none of them were quite suitable, so he asked her for help. However, after Heinrich asked her a few questions, she found many inconsistencies in her story, and Marisa honestly confessed everything.

Chu Yinan's role as a gift broker has been completely exposed.

When Yan Liu saw the little brat lying, she didn't give him any face. In front of his sister, she turned him over and slapped his bottom.

"Still not being honest? Was this your idea, or did Yu Tang come up with it for you? Should I call Yu Tang now and have her come over to check what's going on?"

Chu Yinan knew he was completely stripped down to his underwear, and his face turned ashen.

"It wasn't my idea, Yutang helped me think of it... I really couldn't think of anything good to give you. It feels like you don't lack anything. If I give one gift well and another doesn't, I'm worried that people will say I'm being biased, thinking carefully for one person but not for the other."

Heinrich added at the opportune moment, "So you treat everyone the same, don't think about it carefully, and let Marissa do it for you. But Xiao Chu Nan is probably afraid that you, Yan Liu, will cause him trouble, right?"

Yan Liu retorted, "How could I possibly cause trouble for Xiao Chunan? I'm satisfied with whatever he gives me. Even if I did cause trouble, it was just to tease him! How can that be called causing trouble?"

Marissa pleaded softly, "Xiao Chunan has thought it over carefully, but he is indeed worried about inconsistent satisfaction with the gifts."

Yan Liu straightened the little boy's body again: "It doesn't matter what you give him, the important thing is that it's your own sentiment. None of us are saying that we lack anything, nor is there anything we can't afford. Do you want giving a gift to become a burden on your feelings? As long as it's your sentiment, that's enough."

"Hmm... I'll think of the rest myself. I won't give Marissa the plush one anymore; I'll think of something else."

Marissa was puzzled; she quite liked plush things, so why wasn't she giving them away...?

Chapter 50: Here's a belt for you guys.

It seems I couldn't escape thinking about gifts after all, but thankfully this didn't turn into a major disaster, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Since he was already there, Chu Yinan figured he might as well make the best of it. Now that Aunt Liu had caught him, he simply picked up his phone and started looking for gifts on a shopping app.

As for Marissa, the girl who betrayed him, Chu Yinan now only wants to offer her a tail, preferably one with a slight electric current vibration.

However, since it's a rare occasion to give a gift, I won't go through with any fuss. Besides, it wouldn't be appropriate to place the order in front of Aunt Liu. I'll buy it for Marissa later.

"Aunt Liu, Heinrich, how do you consider things when you give gifts to others?" Chu Yinan asked.

“Heinrich, you say it,” Yan Liu tossed the question to the blonde woman next to her who was playing with a drone.

Heinrich handed the remote control to Marissa to play with, then lay down, staring at the ceiling, pondering who he had given gifts to.

"Yan Liu, have I ever given you a gift?"

"Nothing formal, but when we went out together before, we would casually buy some interesting-looking things, and you would send back some local specialties when you went out."

Since it wasn't something he did intentionally, but rather something he did casually, Heinrich didn't retain much of an impression of it. He only vaguely remembered that it counted as giving a gift.

"Don't worry about whether others like you or not, just know whether they dislike you or not. It's like getting along with others; don't change your own thoughts for them. You don't deserve it. Choose those who can accept you, not those who demand that you change."

After listening, Chu Yinan nodded, then looked up at Aunt Liu and asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing his earnest, thoughtful expression, Yan Liu knew he didn't understand, and explained with amusement:

"For example, imagine two people in a relationship who both like each other, but the woman thinks it's childish for the man to like Kamen Rider. Although it's not a bad habit, she still wants the man to change it. What should he do?"

Chu Yinan put himself in her shoes and thought about it for a moment, replacing the woman with someone like Yu Tang, Di Liya, or Aunt Liu. He was surprised to find that none of them seemed like the type to say such things. Yu Tang even gave him money to spend, but the price of receiving the money was that she had to pay the price of serving him in bed.

"Since we both like each other, how about we compromise a little and change our hobbies...?" Chu Yinan answered without much confidence.

“Change what? If the woman has a pet, you should ask her if you can pluck and stew her pet in front of her.” Heinrich looked at the snow scene projection and said controversial words with a blank expression, it was hard to tell how much of it was a joke. “Hobbies are a person’s own little world. If the woman asks you to change them, it means that she only thinks about herself in the relationship. Just tell her to get lost and find someone who can accept your hobby.”

Chu Yinan understood. He looked around and realized there was no one like that. Even someone like Heinrich, who did things his own way, didn't stop him from doing anything. At most, they just used him for amusement.

"So after all that, you're basically telling me to give whatever I want, as long as it's not offensive, right?"
