Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Who Is the Boy
The scene unfolding in South City was completely unknown to Jiang Xue. Meanwhile, the Jiang Family had an unexpected guest, Shangguan Wenbin.
Ever since their familial reunion, Jiang Xue had shared her family’s address with Shangguan Wenbin.
As a result, Shangguan Wenbin chose a moment to come to Jiang Xue’s home. Moreover, he brought a gift for Little Reunion, a toy dog that could run and bark, and at first glance was adorably cute and very endearing.
Seeing the little toy dog, not only did Little Reunion like it, but Jiang Xue and Little Fox also loved it immensely.
"Wenbin, thank you, that’s very thoughtful!" Jiang Xue smiled and thanked Shangguan Wenbin, truly fond of this newly acknowledged younger brother.
It was evident that this toy wasn’t available domestically, and Shangguan Wenbin had specially picked a puppy, clearly because Little Reunion was born in the Year of the Dog.
Jiang Xue hadn’t expected that her brief mention last time would be remembered by Shangguan Wenbin.
"Sis, you don’t need to be so polite with me. Since I’m Little Reunion’s uncle, buying him a toy is nothing." Shangguan Wenbin smiled, waving his hand, thinking a toy is hardly a big deal.
If Jiang Xue was so polite about a toy, when he gave Little Reunion something more valuable in the future, Jiang Xue might be overly polite forever.
Jiang Xue laughed, even though it was just a toy. But it showed Shangguan Wenbin’s thoughtfulness towards her and the child, unlike Old Sir Jiang and others, who had come to their house multiple times before, always empty-handed.
Even if they declared how much they liked Little Reunion, how much they wanted to hold him, it’s clear upon comparison what the difference is.
Those old folks were simply indifferent. Otherwise, which family elders wouldn’t give a welcome gift when meeting a child? Take Mr. Mu, not only did he give a valuable welcome gift the first time, but also had Housekeeper Lin bring over plenty of good things later.
And even now after returning to Beijing, he had sent things over twice.
"Wenbin, you go play with Little Reunion for a while, I’m going to buy some groceries."
"Sure, Sis, go ahead, I’ll take care of Little Reunion." Shangguan Wenbin waved his hand and went to play with Little Reunion.
When Jiang Xue left the house, she specifically mentioned to Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang that there was a guest at home, and if they had time, they could come and chat with the guest.
Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, knowing there was a guest at home, quickly came over. Little Reunion looked at his grandparents and reached out his hands wanting a hug.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and picked him up, making Shangguan Wenbin envious. He was so focused on playing with Little Reunion that he hadn’t thought to hug him.
Imagining the feeling of holding the soft and adorable child in his arms, Shangguan Wenbin couldn’t help but look at Mrs. Jiang with eager eyes.
Mrs. Jiang, puzzled by Shangguan Wenbin’s gaze, asked, "Young man, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Auntie, my name is Shangguan Wenbin, just call me Wenbin. I, I just want to hold Little Reunion." Shangguan Wenbin said, a little embarrassed.
"Oh, so that’s the reason." Mrs. Jiang laughed and then handed Little Reunion to Shangguan Wenbin. Fortunately, Little Reunion was already familiar with Shangguan Wenbin, and since he had given Little Reunion a toy, he naturally did not object.
Holding Little Reunion, looking at him smiling at himself, Shangguan Wenbin’s heart melted.
When Jiang Xue returned with groceries, she saw Little Reunion sitting on Shangguan Wenbin’s shoulders, having a lot of fun.
Seeing Shangguan Wenbin’s fondness for Little Reunion and his friendliness towards them, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but have some thoughts.
So, upon entering the kitchen with Jiang Xue, Mrs. Jiang began to quietly inquire Jiang Xue.
"Xue’er, who is that young man?"
"What’s wrong?" Seeing the serious look on her mother’s face, Jiang Xue was completely puzzled.
