Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Shanlai nestled in Lei's arms, staring at the painting in a daze.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Lei's voice was slightly hoarse, and he rubbed her head with his chin.

"I'm wondering when my parents will come back." Shanlai smiled and touched his nose awkwardly.

Her parents said they would be back next week. Should she bring Lei with her to the airport to pick them up then?

She was still hesitating.

"When will uncle and aunt come back?" Lei is good at grasping the key points and asked the person in his arms.

"Probably next week." Shan Lai didn't understand, but still told him the specific time.

Looking at the painting in front of him, Shan Lai leaned forward a little, reached out his hand and gently stroked the bouquet in the painting.

Will she really marry Lei?

she does not know.

"Do you want to draw?" Lei covered her back, put his arms around her waist, and whispered sweetly in her ear.

Shan Lai shook her head. She didn't want to paint at this moment and felt inexplicably irritated.

Looking at her profile, he could probably guess that she was not in a good mood, so he had to change the subject, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to make you some pastries. I just learned how to make a kind of pastry recently, and I failed last time." Lei smiled embarrassedly, and his laughter was very pleasant.

Hearing him say that he had learned to make pastries, Shan Lai turned to look at him in disbelief, "Making pastries?"

How could he, a young master who has never done housework, do this?

Lei nodded obediently, "Yeah."

"I can make a lot and cook for you." He looked at the girl with a smile on his face and spoke sincerely, without sounding like nonsense.

Shanlai smiled. Why is he so cute?

Can you eat pastries made from this?

"Don't you believe me?" Lei lowered his head uncomfortably.

In fact, he can try to do everything she likes. No matter what it is, as long as it is related to her, he can try it and accept it quickly.

Seeing that he was a little frustrated, Shan Lai reached out and rubbed his hair. "It's not that I don't believe you. I just think that my young master is so delicate, how could he think of learning to make pastries?" After saying this, she lifted his chin lightly.

She didn't mean any other thing, she just wanted to tease him.

Lei pulled her into his arms, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, his voice unusually hoarse, "Girls should be more obedient and don't tease me easily. If you tease me too much, I can't guarantee that I won't do something to you." After saying that, he tilted his head a little towards her.

Shan Lai shrank back. How could she have forgotten that Lei was a very gentle and elegant gentleman, and also a normal man...

Blame her.

She smiled flatteringly, "Then let's go to the mall and buy some ingredients for making pastries. I'll teach you how to make them." She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, "Okay?"

I can't stand her aggrieved look, and I can't do anything about her. I can't bear to do anything to her, so I can only say "OK" helplessly.

Shan Lai was very happy. She stood up from his arms, took his hand and walked out. "Let's hurry up, it's getting late."

Lei burst out laughing. Why was she so stupid? Didn't she even ask him what kinds of pastries he could make?

But he didn't refuse, and followed him downstairs obediently, just like the little girl who followed him obediently holding his hand not long ago.

……

Kassell and his sister arrived at the door of Huo's house. When the driver asked if they wanted to drive in, Nadel said without hesitation, "No."

The brother and sister swaggered into the Huo family.

Old Mrs. Huo and Old Mr. Huo were sitting in the hall discussing something. When they saw Nadel leading a blond and blue-eyed man in, they were startled at first.

It was not until Kassell leaned forward slightly and called out "Grandpa and grandma" that Mrs. Huo was the first to react.

"Kassell." Old Mrs. Huo seemed very excited. She stood up and walked to his side, reaching out to hug him.

Kassell had a slender figure, and Mrs. Huo was too petite standing next to him, so he did not refuse Mrs. Huo's hug.

He hugged Mrs. Huo very gentlemanly, then quickly separated and looked at Mr. Huo next to him, "Grandpa."

Nadel might come back to Country K once a year to visit Mr. and Mrs. Huo, but Kassell has never been back to Country K. The Huo family has only seen his photos.

When I saw his photo a few years ago, he seemed to be just a child, but in the blink of an eye, he has grown up like this.

Old Mrs. Huo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back." Then she pulled Kassell to sit next to Old Mr. Huo.

Old Master Huo was also looking at his grandson. As he looked at him, he sighed softly. It turned out that their grandson had grown so big.

Afu hasn't been home to see them for more than 20 years. What happened back then hurt her deeply, so it's reasonable for her not to come back to see them.

I just don’t know how she is living in Country M.

"Grandpa, you are so partial. You ignore me as soon as my brother comes back." Nadel stuck out her tongue mischievously, then walked over, sat on the right side of Grandpa Huo, and put her hand around his arm.

Old Master Huo smiled and reached out his hand to pat Nadel, "You little naughty boy, your brother has never come back with you. It's only right that we say a few more words to him when we see him." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Kassell next to him.

Nadel understood it all and said nothing more.

"Kassell, when did you come here? How come I didn't know?" Old Mrs. Huo asked him tentatively.

Kassell smiled gently and just said that Nadel's return to Country K had caused them too much trouble, and his father asked him to come and take Nadel back.

Old Mrs. Huo's smile froze on the corner of her mouth, but she soon returned to her usual gentle look, "When are you leaving?" After saying that, she looked at Nadel next to her without giving up, hoping that she could stay a few more days.

Nadel didn't notice Mrs. Huo's expression. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's wait until Shanlai's coming-of-age ceremony is over."

When Mrs. Huo heard her say this, she instantly felt relieved. The general election will be held in five days, so it should be too early for the girl from Deng He's family to have her coming-of-age ceremony. Fortunately.

Everything is still in time.

Kassell frowned slightly when he heard his sister say this. He had already inquired before coming here, and found out that the election for the chairman of Country K would be held in the near future. He didn't find out the exact date, but the election date should be very close.

Shanlai's coming-of-age ceremony should be in about a month.

Therefore, they cannot avoid the Huo family’s affairs this time.
