Chapter 184 Dinner
Chapter 184 Dinner
Meng Ran chatted with his family for a while after dinner.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Gwen sent him a message, indicating that he was ready to leave.
After receiving the news, Meng Ran talked to his family, then went to the garage and drove his little black car to Gwen's house.
Perhaps because today is Christmas Eve, there are not many people on the street, and many shops have closed their doors early.
However, although the shops are closed, their outfits outside and various decorations on the road are all adding to the festive atmosphere.
There is basically a Christmas tree in the window of the shop, with flickering ribbons and candies hanging on it, and the red, green and green lights are still on, which looks very beautiful.
Some more business-minded merchants didn't even miss this opportunity, and they advertised next to the Christmas tree in their stores.
This made everyone who stopped to look at their Christmas tree couldn't help but notice their ad.
Meng Ran's driving skills are very good, and it didn't take long for him to drive to Gwen's house smoothly.
When he arrived, he saw that Gwen was already waiting for him at the door ahead of time.
Gwen wore a red sweater to match the Christmas atmosphere. Against the background of the sweater, Gwen's delicate skin looked fairer.
"Come on in, we're making Christmas pudding and Christmas cookies."
"I made a little deer cookie just now, and I will bake it for you later."
Seeing Meng Ran get out of the car, Gwen hurried over to put his arm around him and lead him inside.
Feeling the soft touch from his arm, Meng Ran pinched Gwen's little face, and then smiled at her: "Don't worry, I still have gifts for your family in my car."
After finishing, Meng Ran took Gwen to the little black car, and opened the trunk.
After opening the trunk, Meng Ran first handed Gwen a bouquet of flowers, and then smiled softly: "Merry Christmas! My princess."
Gwen couldn't hide her surprise when she saw the large bouquet of flowers prepared for herself.
She took the bouquet with a happy smile, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Meng Ran on the mouth.
Feeling the soft touch, Meng Ran smiled happily, then turned around and took out several beautifully wrapped gift boxes from the trunk. He prepared a gift for each of Gwen's family.
Because Gwen was holding a large bouquet of flowers, Meng Ran held all the gifts by herself.
These gifts were stacked high together, Meng Ran could only show one head after holding it in his hands.
Just like that, he held these gifts firmly in his hands and walked into Gwen's house.
At this time, Gwen's house has been decorated in colorful, very Christmas atmosphere.
There are two person-high Christmas trees next to the warm hearth, with colored lights and colorful balls hanging on them, and two bouquets of mistletoe on the wall behind.
In Christmas legend, two people standing under the "mistletoe", men and women must kiss, because it will bring good luck and love.
Although Meng Ran also wanted to be romantic, he didn't dare to make a mistake at Gwen's house at this time.
Kissing your girlfriend in front of her girlfriend's parents, although thinking about it is very exciting, but thinking about it is enough, there is no need to practice it.
Gwen's mother, Helen, and his brothers were at the table making pudding and cookies, while George was fiddling with cutlery and seating.
Seeing Meng Ran walk in, Helen also greeted him enthusiastically. Although George next to him was not very enthusiastic, he was still polite and smiling.
After helping Meng Ran put down the presents, Gwen hurriedly dragged him to the dining table to join in the making of Christmas pudding and Christmas cookies.
Everyone participates in making puddings and cookies at Christmas, which symbolizes happiness and harmony.
And Meng Ran's participation in the activities of Gwen's family to make these also shows her family's recognition of him.
After placing the tableware, tables and chairs, George also joined in the production activities.
In this way, Meng Ran and Gwen's family were making pudding and cookies while chatting, and the atmosphere, which was somewhat unfamiliar and awkward, became harmonious and lively under his humor.
George was a little rusty and serious when Meng Ran first came in, but after a period of chatting, his expression softened.
He still remembered that he had a good impression of this child when he first met Meng Ran.
On the one hand, the current seriousness is to maintain the majesty and solemnity of his father, and on the other hand, he still has some small opinions on the pig who stole his cabbage.
Although every father with a daughter knows that such a day will come, no matter how early the psychological construction starts, it will not affect the uncomfortable result now.
After suffering unavoidably, Meng Ran's performance became the only thing George could comfort himself.
Judging from the current situation, George still feels very good about his performance, which also made Meng Ran, who had been nervous all the time, relax.
Every time Meng Ran sees George's face, he can't help but think of the way the other party read information with a flashlight by the window in the past nights.
Coupled with the natural oppression of being the girlfriend's father, Meng Ran's nervousness in the face of George is unavoidable.
But now seeing that George's demeanor and expression had begun to soften, Meng Ran gradually became less nervous, and slowly relaxed in his heart.
After making the cookies and pudding, it was almost time for dinner, and Helen also entered the kitchen and started cooking the dinner she had prepared earlier.
It didn't take long for the sumptuous Christmas meals to be placed on the table one by one.
The Christmas dinner prepared by Gwen's family is also a very traditional dish, with roast beef ribs, Christmas ham, sea bass, smoked salmon and some cranberry sauce.
The sea bass among them is not a particularly traditional Christmas dish, it is a specialty of Gwen's mother Helen.
After all the dishes were served, the dinner began. After the foreshadowing and chatting just now, the atmosphere at this time was relatively lively, without the embarrassment and silence that Meng Ran had been worried about.
Although Meng Ran felt very good, the venom in his body was not so happy.
Because he was a guest at Gwen's house, Meng Ran didn't have much appetite, so although the dishes were rich, he didn't put a lot of things on his plate. He just kept a not too much, but not too little to appear disapproving.
So although Venom was more interested in grilled beef ribs, Meng Ran only shared half of it and never added more vegetables.
Venom, who didn't have enough to eat just this afternoon, was full of resentment, and kept nagging Meng Ran to buy a lot of meat to eat when she came home later.
In this way, amidst harmony and warmth, Meng Ran's first visit to Gwen's house ended successfully without any unpleasantness.
