Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1624

Chapter 1624: Chapter 1625: Don’t Be Afraid

She lingered in Cheng Yaozong’s office for the better part of half a day, chatting until her mouth was almost dry, and only then did Cheng Su get ready to take her leave. Just as she was about to go, Cheng Yaozong called her back and took a velvet box out of a drawer to hand to her.

"What’s this? I just came to chat with you, and there’s even a gift?" Cheng Su asked with a grin.

Cheng Yaozong was amused by her and said, "Listen to yourself. This is for Xiao Qi. I told you to pick something as a first-meeting gift, and what did you do? You picked a piece of clothing and called it a day. If word gets out that as an uncle I gave my nephew nothing but a piece of clothing for a first gift, how am I supposed to show my face?"

Cheng Su stuck out her tongue. She opened it and saw a little golden dragon inside, then said, "You give him this—he can’t eat it, can’t use it. What’s he supposed to do with it?"

"He was born this year, he’s a Dragon, isn’t he? If he can’t eat it, he can just use it as a toy." Cheng Yaozong said with great swagger.

Cheng Su gave him a thumbs-up. "Using real gold as a toy—if I don’t call you a filthy rich tyrant, I’d be lying."

Cheng Yaozong let out a laughing snort. "You’re heading over to Xiao Ya’s, aren’t you? Go on then!"

Cheng Su put Qi Xiaoqi’s "toy" into her bag, thanked him, and left.

Cheng Yaozong shook his head. Now that she was a mom, she actually seemed even cheekier. The look in his eyes was pure indulgence, as if he really were doting on his own little sister.

Thinking of what Cheng Su had said, he pressed the intercom to the secretaries’ office again: "Call in all departments for a meeting..."

...

Back when Ying Xiaoya and Cheng Yaozu had made their relationship official and were already talking about marriage, Mr. and Mother Ying, wanting to be able to stay close to their daughter in the future, bought an apartment in Guangcheng in their daughter’s name. On one hand, it counted as part of her dowry; on the other, when they came to Guangcheng they would have a place to stay.

The apartment wasn’t very big, right in the city center, three bedrooms, all facing north-south. Both Mr. and Mother Ying were cadres; with the combined ability of the two of them, buying one apartment was well within their means.
