“I want to chat with you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you.” Yuan Wei had a fawning smile on her face, making Yuan Xiao feel uncomfortable.
“If I said it was inconvenient, would you leave?” Yuan Xiao chuckled as she watched Yuan Wei enter with an ugly expression.
“Tell me, what’s the matter?” Yuan Xiao was very curious as to why Yuan Wei would come looking for her. She should hate her now. She must have other intentions for taking the initiative to curry favor with her.
“Actually, I have something to ask of you.” Yuan Wei looked around and realized that Yuan Xiao’s room had been meticulously decorated. She was even more jealous. “Mom has been depressed since she was pregnant. I want to know what Mom likes and hates. Tell me everything. I want to prepare a gift for her.”
“A gift?” Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Wei in confusion. She did not think that Yuan Wei would be so kind.
“Yes. After all, I haven’t spent as much time with Mom as you have, and I don’t know her that well. I was hoping you could help.”
There was nothing wrong with Yuan Wei’s attitude. Although Yuan Xiao suspected that her motive was impure, she did not refuse.
“Sure. Mom likes flowers and perfume. She also likes blue and green. If you want to suit her, you can buy her some fresh-colored clothes or some small ornaments.”
“Can you help me write it down? I can’t remember so many things.” Yuan Wei naturally took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket and handed it to Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao frowned. Yuan Wei’s actions were really too abnormal. If she wanted to know what Sun Li liked, she could have asked her directly. If it was to surprise her, she could have asked Yuan Ming and Jiang Yan. There was no need to ask Yuan Xiao, who did not have a good relationship with her.
“Sure, but go get a bigger piece of paper. I’ll help you write it in more detail.”
Seeing that Yuan Xiao had agreed, Yuan Wei happily walked back to her room to get some paper.
While she was out, Yuan Xiao switched her phone to the recording function and secretly placed it in the corner of the table.
Yuan Wei quickly walked in with a larger piece of paper. After handing it to Yuan Xiao, she looked at her expectantly.
“It’s a good thing that you want to prepare a gift for Mom. I’ll help you write a few things that Mom likes. You can just take them as reference.” As Yuan Xiao spoke, she sat at the table and began to write as she read out the contents of what she wrote.
“Although Mom likes tulips and lilies, she’s pregnant after all. Tulips are slightly poisonous, and the smell of lilies is a bit strong. It’s best if you don’t give them to her.”
As Yuan Xiao reminded her, she looked at Yuan Wei and realized that there was nothing unusual about her. Instead, she listened to her seriously.
“There’s also perfume. If you want to give it to her, try to give her some light fragrance.”
Yuan Xiao watched as Yuan Wei nodded her head seriously. As she wrote, she slowly said, “I still suggest you buy some trinkets. Mom likes pearls and turquoise very much. You can buy some bracelets, earrings, and other trinkets.”
Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Xiao, who was taking notes seriously, and interrupted her. “Xiao Xiao, the main thing is to tell me what Mom hates. I just don’t want to give her the wrong gift.”
Yuan Xiao narrowed her eyes and sized Yuan Wei up. She calmly said, “There are many annoying things. Mom doesn’t like the taste of cucumbers, so there are almost no cucumbers at home.”
“Please help me write it down too.” Yuan Wei reminded when she saw that Yuan Xiao did not touch the pen.
“Alright, I can help you note it down. However, I specially marked it here in case you make a mistake. These are all things that Mom hates. Don’t give them to the wrong person.” Yuan Xiao seemed to have guessed Yuan Wei’s thoughts. She only needed time to witness it.
“Don’t worry, I cant be wrong.” When Yuan Wei saw Yuan Xiao seriously writing down something that Sun Li hated, her eyes shifted slightly as she said, “Is there anything else?”
“Cats, especially Dragon-Li cats. I heard from Dad that Mom was scratched by
a wild cat when she was young. She has always had a trauma in her heart.” Yuan Xiao wrote the words Dragon-Li cats in the column of hateful items, especially with an exclamation mark.
“You must not let Mommy come into contact with cats. Not only is she afraid, but she also has a mild allergy.”
“Alright, I understand.” Yuan Wei nodded thoughtfully. Under her inquiry, Yuan Xiao brought up a few things that Sun Li did not like.
“Thank you so much. I’ll prepare a gift for Mom.”
Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Wei meaningfully, curious about what she would do..
