Chapter 1016 Gift
Chapter 1016 Gift
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Leon keenly noticed the worry on Anna's face, and immediately suppressed his emotions, skillfully put on a director's face, and explained with a smile:
"You know, my job is special, so my distraction is more serious than the average... Sorry, I suddenly had something to do just now, so I didn't pay attention to this."
Is that so?
Under the disguise of a gold-level [Master of Performance], the expression on Leon's face was natural without any flaws. After seeing that he looked normal, Anna, who didn't know anything about abnormal things, breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to take a look at the pot.
"It's okay, only the bottom part is mushy... get out, get out!"
After checking the burnt stew with a little heartache, Anna took the apron hanging by the stove and put it on, then put her hands on Leon's shoulders and began to push him out.
"Go sit on the sofa for a while, I'll do the rest!"
"I can help you clean up..."
"You're helping me if you go out!"
After rolling her eyes at him unhappily, the thin girl put a little more strength into her hands, facing Brother Feiwu who couldn't even look after a pot and couldn't help him with his homework, and forced Leon, who kept looking back, out of the kitchen, and then closed the kitchen door tightly.
After the kitchen door was closed, Leon sat obediently on the sofa under the stern command of elder sister Anna. He couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, feeling a little stuffy in his heart.
Although the Black Goat was a little abstract, it was not a fool and would never speak nonsense about such things, so what it said was 99% true. Melanie's future might really be tied to the abyss. This...
"Here! Brother! Here!"
Hearing the noise, Leon looked back and found that the door to the inner room was slightly opened. Melanie, who had already reserved a seat in the Abyss Hundred Hells, came out from inside at some point.
He peeked into the kitchen and found that his elder sister Anna was handling the pot with her back to everyone, with a dignified look on her face. She should have no time to pay attention to him. The Great Demon God Rose couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then closed the door, stretched out his little hand, and waved at Leon stealthily.
"Brother! Come here, come here!"
"?"
After standing up and walking over with a puzzled look on his face, Leon was about to ask something when a bulging small wallet was suddenly stuffed into his hand.
After opening the small wallet embroidered with a pink pony and checking it, he found that there were at least twenty gold wheels stuffed inside. Leon couldn't help but look at Melanie and asked in confusion:
"This is……"
“Activity funds.”
After sniffing her red nose slightly, Melanie, who had just been slapped in the face, pouted her lips, turned her head away from Leon, and hummed:
"Although you just stood by and watched someone die, you are my brother after all... This is the money I earned recently. You have been away for several months and your sister-in-law must be unhappy. You can use this to buy her some gifts, and maybe she won't be angry with you anymore."
"You... shouldn't do that."
Looking at the so-called activity funds handed over by Melanie, Leon, who was a little amused, stuffed the pink wallet back and then explained:
"Your sister-in-law and I are in a very special situation. We each have things to do. She won't be angry because I'm on a business trip. And she doesn't need your support. Big brother has money."
"It's strange that you have money!"
Looking at her elder brother who was still stubborn, Melanie curled her lips and said:
"I looked through Sister Anna's account book. Your salary is basically all with her. If you don't make any extra money, you will have only eight or nine silver wheels left. What good gifts can you buy with them?"
"Well... although Big Brother doesn't have much money, this isn't how you give gifts."
After patting Melanie's little head, Leon took the opportunity to educate her:
"Don't pay too much attention to the value of the gift, but the thought behind it. Besides, your sister-in-law is not short of money or things, so I don't need to give her an expensive gift. As long as it's a gift that Big Brother carefully chooses, she should like it."
"Tsk, poor men have so many excuses."
"???"
Alas... I have to worry about this... Facing her elder brother who was good in everything except that he was very poor in the past and thus stingy, Melanie couldn't help but sigh, then raised her little face and asked seriously:
"Brother, are you going to give your sister-in-law a bouquet of flowers? Roses or peonies?"
"???"
Lyon couldn't help but wonder when he heard that.
"I did intend to send Veronica a bouquet of roses...but how did you know that?"
"With the little money you have left, what else can you give besides flowers?"
"..."
"It's true that no matter what you give your sister-in-law, she will be happy. The fact that you even thought of giving her roses is a result of your great care...but you are just stingy!"
"..."
"Here, I have listed them all for you."
After stuffing the bulging pink pony wallet back into her pocket and pointing to the compartment behind the pink pony, Mei·Emotional Expert·Lanni sighed and said:
"Inside is a list of gifts that I have chosen for you that your sister-in-law might like. I don't know which one is suitable, so you can choose it yourself when you go to see your sister-in-law. I think seven or eight gold wheels will be enough."
"But you have in your wallet..."
"The rest is for you to spend."
After taking a look at the lumpy collar of Yanang, Melanie, who had long been critical of his spending habits, could not help but remind him earnestly:
"Brother, our family is no longer so short of money. Living too stingily is a problem and needs to be changed."
"..."
After noticing where Melanie's gaze was, Leon looked at the classic jersey he had worn for several months, bathed in countless divine blood, but whose collar still rubbed against the ball, and he subconsciously smacked his lips.
It's still wearable, why not ask Anna to shave the hairballs for me when she's free... Um... Never mind, Anna is already very busy, I don't want to trouble her for everything, and I do seem to be a bit picky...
After deeply reflecting on his bad habits, Leon silently accepted the wallet that Melanie gave him, and decided to accept his sister's kindness and be a little extravagant this time.
Seeing that her eldest brother did not continue to be stubborn, a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on Melanie's little face.
As expected of me!
This time, not only can my eldest brother change his stingy habit, but when my eldest sister-in-law receives the gift, if she knows that I helped my eldest brother choose the gift, the amount of investment next month will probably be quadrupled! It's a win-win situation! I win two...
"Melanie!"
After dealing with the trouble caused by Leon, Anna came out of the kitchen holding the pot. Seeing Melanie who was not doing her homework in the house but sneaking out again, Anna couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"What did I say just now? You..."
"I... pot! Sister Anna! Put the pot down first!"
"..."
After finally stopping Anna from rushing towards him and safely finishing a chaotic dinner, Leon hesitated for a long time and finally went out early. He took the list made by Melanie to the department store to do some shopping, and then rushed to the palace before it got completely dark.
"You're here."
After hearing the footsteps coming from the balcony, Veronica, who was busy behind the table, looked up, gave Leon a tired smile, and then reached out and pointed at the empty vase that had been placed on the shelf in advance.
"Just put the flowers there... Huh? You didn't buy any flowers?"
