Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 304: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 29)
Unfortunately, Bai Chi didn’t have any regrets to swallow.
Beside him, Mrs. Nalan chuckled and pulled him away from Qin Wenrou: "Silly boy, what are you standing there for? Come meet your Little Sister-in-law Qin Xin. Xin’er, this is Little Bai, who has been playing with our son since they were children."
Qin Xin glanced at Bai Chi indifferently: "Hmm."
This fool is actually brothers with Mr. Nalan?
How does such a wise person like Mr. Nalan tolerate a fool for so many years? It must be quite a struggle!
Inwardly, Qin Xin again felt that Mr. Nalan was indeed a decent man.
Bai Chi heard Qin Xin’s indifferent "Hmm." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
He became even more nervous.
Why does Little Sister-in-law seem to have seen him before?
But he really hadn’t seen her, except in photos.
Did Little Sister-in-law hear some rumors and know about him mistaking Qin Wenrou?
Luckily, Mrs. Nalan still helped him with a few words: "Our Little Bai here might occasionally be a bit daft, but he’s quite nice, and has a good heart... Look, he brought you such a big gift box. Little Bai, why don’t you bring the gift box over to your Little Sister-in-law?"
Bai Chi was just feeling fortunate when, caught off guard by Mrs. Nalan’s command, he almost replied "Yes!"
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.
"No... no no no, I... I’ll prepare something else and bring it next time..." He stammered incoherently.
Mrs. Nalan, being quite straightforward, waved it off: "What next time? Men of the Nalan Family only marry once in their lifetime! There’s no next time!"
She walked forward, to personally open the gift box, calling out to Qin Xin: "Xin’er, Little Bai’s shy, we’ll look inside ourselves!"
Listening to Mrs. Nalan’s repeated "Little Bai," Qin Xin couldn’t help but chuckle a little.
Why does it always sound like they’re calling out to a little cat or dog?
With Qin Xin’s slight smile, the anxious Bai Chi froze.
He felt as if flowers bloomed across the fields and the night sky outside was illuminated by that gentle smile.
As a result, he hesitated for a moment, missing the chance to stop Mrs. Nalan from opening the gift box.
"Oh my!"
With Mrs. Nalan’s exclamation, the lid of the gift box opened.
Inside, all the gifts were displayed in front of everyone.
Feeling worse than death, Bai Chi covered his face.
It’s all over.
The gift box contained many things: a complete set of pink bedding with four pieces, a pair of crystal cups, a set of diamond-studded pink bowls...
Everything was either pink or adorned with gold, silver, and diamonds—practical yet full of girlish charm.
And it was all custom-made, with top-quality materials.
Clearly, this was a carefully prepared wedding gift.
But...
When Mrs. Nalan took a closer look, she found that each item was engraved or embroidered with a pair of names—Wen Rou & Nalan.
"What’s the meaning of this?" Mrs. Nalan pondered, "You wanted to engrave your brother and Little Sister-in-law’s names? That doesn’t make sense, you should have engraved..."
Xin & Jue.
Bai Chi covered his face, unable to bear looking directly: "I... I made a mistake... I will prepare something else."
How was he supposed to know he’d mistaken someone?
He had spent nearly a month preparing this gift.
He put so much thought into each piece, only to fail at the details.
No, it should be said he failed right from the start—how could he mistake Qin Wenrou for Little Sister-in-law?
Suddenly, he recalled that initially he was actually unsure, but then Qin Wenrou mentioned her sister had died, and there were only two daughters in the Qin Family.
So...
He looked even more depressed towards Qin Wenrou.
This woman misled him!
Letting him make mistake upon mistake.
