Chapter Forty-Six: Mother-in-law

Shi Yun handed a card to Yun Nan directly and said, "I'm no good at picking gifts, so I might as well let you buy what you like yourself. You can spend as much as you want. If that card runs out of money, get Shi Nian to transfer more over to you. The card's PIN is Shi Nian's birthday."

Yun Nan felt that it was too much and didn't move to take the card. Instead, she looked to Shi Nian for aid. Sensing her hesitation, Shi Xiu snatched the card and stuffed it into Yun Nan's hands. "Don't be shy. Just accept it, Yun Nan! This is Dad's way of expressing himself—crude and simple."

Shi Nian also smiled. "Take it. They'll be upset if you don't."
