When Xu Ye got home, Second Aunt's family of three were still there.

Seeing him come in, Wang Manning got up from her seat and stared wide-eyed at the shopping bag in his hand.

Xu Ye went over and handed it to her. "Stop bothering me from now on."

"Thanks, Cousin." Wang Manning couldn't wait to get the iPad out of the bag. She could not have been more excited, and all at once she was full of sweet talk.

Second Aunt, who had been talking with Old Zhang, saw the tablet in Wang Manning's hands and frowned immediately. "Xiao Ye, what are you buying her an iPad for?"

Old Zhang and Old Xu said nothing on the surface, but inside they were glowing.

Second Aunt praised him nonstop, and Xu Ye modestly put it all down to luck.
