Chapter 252: Chapter 192: Who Isnât Single Yet?_2 Chapter 252: Chapter 192: Who Isnât Single Yet?_2 âHehe, nope!â Wenyan said with a bit of pride, âSo Mom, you really think the cups look pretty, right?â
âYes, they do, I like them a lot.â
âI made them myself!â Wenyan said, even more proud, âI started preparing a long time ago, and I designed the pattern myself. Although I ruined quite a few, I finally managed to produce a perfect pair of coupleâs cups!â
âYou shaped and fired them yourself?â
âWell, saying I fired them would be a bit of an exaggeration; I just watched a little during the firing process. But the shaping partâI definitely did that myself, filled with all my sincerity.â
âBut youâve been so busy lately, how did you find the time to do this?â
âI started preparing when I was less busy. But since I kept failing, every time I had a moment, Iâd go back and try again, until I brought them home today.â
âSo you put a lot of thought into it!â
After learning the story behind the cups, Su Yang cherished them even more.
âYour gift is so thoughtful, Mom will definitely treasure it.â
âNo, no. Mom, I gave you and Dad these cups hoping youâd use them for drinking water, not for storing them away. After all, theyâre not really collectibles, and since Iâve mastered the technique, I might make plenty more. If I were to bring them all home, I probably couldnât fit them all in one room.â
Su Yang nodded, âOkay, Iâll switch to these two cups with your dad later. And what about the gifts for your brothers, are they cups too?â
âNope! Theyâre all single dogs, not worthy of coupleâs cups. If one of them brings me a sister-in-law someday, then it wonât be too late to make one.â
The brothers: ââŠâ Who in this house isnât a single dog besides the parents?
Shen Jinghe couldnât help but give Wenyan a sideways glance, âAs if youâre not the same.â
Wenyan ignored him and immediately took out the props she had prepared in advance from another paper bag.
It was a little magic trick she had learned on the fly.
She first lit one end of the prop with a lighter, and then had Su Yang blow it out.
Su Yang was laughing as she blew: âIs it a rose, Yanyan? Iâve seen this trick before.â
Even though she already knew the outcome, Su Yang was still delighted.
But since Wenyan had prepared a surprise, she wouldnât let Su Yang guess it easily.
It was indeed a rose, but hidden inside was a necklace.
âTa-da! The necklace I designed, mom, take a look and see if you like it.â
Su Yang was overjoyed; she never lacked for jewelry, but it had been a long time since she had received such a romantic surprise.
Youth has its perks, after all.
âA dove holding a pink gemstone, although the pink gemstone isnât very valuable, its shape and color are quite beautiful. I know talking about design in front of you, Mom, is like showing off in front of an expert, but here goes!â
âItâs lovely! Our Yanyan seems to have some talent in design as well.â
There were some flaws in the overall design of the pendant, but who cares? It was her daughterâs own creation.
Then Wenyan said to Shen Yuan, âBut Dad, you wonât get any jewelry, because this is a âbirthday giftâ specially prepared for Mom.â
Shen Yuan didnât mind at all; he had already received a coupleâs cup, and he found nothing wrong with his child loving her mother a bit more.
After that, Wenyan began to distribute the gifts she had prepared for her three brothers.
Actually, she had prepared something for all four brothers, but since she had never met the third brother, she had to keep his gift aside for now.
When he received the gift, Shen Jinghe couldnât resist teasing Wenyan.
âHow come thereâs no magic when it gets to us? Couldnât you come up with more?â
Wenyan knew he was just picking on her: âHow could that be? Itâs obviously because I didnât feel like putting in the effort.â
Shen Jingchuan: âI donât believe it, I want to see what you got for us.â
As he spoke, he began to tear at the wrapping.
Wenyan, out of the corner of her eye, saw Shen Jingxiu also starting to unwrap his gift, and quickly put a hand on each man.
âNo, you canât open it now.â
It was just as well Shen Jinghe hadnât started or she wouldnât have been able to stop them all by herself.
All three were surprised and asked in unison, âWhy not?â
Wenyan explained with a giggly smile, âItâs a surprise! It wouldnât be fun to open it in front of everyone.â
She didnât want them to know that the gifts she gave them were almost identical.
She had been a bit lazy when designing them.
Four brothers meant she had to come up with four designs that also belonged to the same series.
