"Brother, let's go then." Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Shen Xiaochuan with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Dai Xingyun, who was standing to the side, took in the whole scene. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a faint smile. Then, without hesitation, he stepped to Shen Xiaochuan's side and said softly, "Let's go together. My grandfather told me several times before we left that you must come with me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaochuan paused for a moment, but after only a brief hesitation, he finally nodded, indicating his willingness to go along.

Seeing Shen Xiaochuan nod, Shen Xiaoxiao visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Her previously tense body instantly relaxed, and even her steps became much lighter.

Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao walking ahead, Dai Xingyun's smile grew even brighter. He quickened his pace to catch up with Shen Xiaochuan and said softly, "Thank you for agreeing to come along."

Upon hearing Dai Xingyun's words, Shen Xiaochuan paused slightly, but quickly regained his composure. He replied calmly, "I just saw that my sister was too nervous, and I was worried she might be bullied if she went to your house alone." With that, he strode forward without looking back.

Seeing this, Dai Xingyun quickened his pace, closely following behind Shen Xiaochuan. The three of them walked out of the courtyard one after the other. Shen Xiaochuan closed and locked the gate, and then they all got into the car.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, making a slight braking sound.

Shen Xiaochuan pushed open the car door and quickly walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative was bustling with people.

The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of goods.

Shen Xiaochuan weaved through the crowd, selecting the items he needed.

He picked up a few bottles of wine, examined them carefully, and then selected some delicate pastries.

Standing to the side, Dai Xingyun watched Shen Xiaochuan's busy figure and felt somewhat helpless.

He knew that these wines and pastries were definitely going to be taken to his home. He didn't want Shen Xiaochuan to spend money, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go.

A short while later, Shen Xiaochuan came out carrying a full bag of things, a satisfied smile on his face.

He put his things in the trunk and then got back into the car.

The car soon arrived at the gate of the military family compound, where the guards politely stopped them.

Shen Xiaochuan rolled down the car window, handed over his identification, and the guard carefully registered him.

Looking at the guards' meticulous work attitude, Shen Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh, "The management here is really strict."

He had always known that Dai Xingyun's background was not simple, but he was not very clear about the specifics.

It wasn't until he saw the registration process today that he realized he might have underestimated Dai Xingyun's family circumstances.

The car slowly drove into the courtyard and finally stopped in front of an exquisite two-story villa.

Shen Xiaoxiao was a little nervous. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, picked up the prepared gifts, and carefully followed Dai Xingyun into the house.

As soon as she entered, Shen Xiaoxiao saw Grandpa Dai and his family waiting for them in the lobby on the first floor.

When they walked in, Grandpa Dai immediately stood up and greeted them with a big smile.

Dai Xingyun pulled Shen Xiaoxiao along and walked straight to the front without hesitation.

With a serious expression, he introduced Xiaoxiao to Grandpa Dai, "Grandpa, this is Xiaoxiao, the person I will spend my life with."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Dai's smile grew even brighter. He carefully examined Shen Xiaoxiao in front of him, his eyes filled with affection.

“Little girl, I’ve heard about you for years and have always wanted to meet you. Today I finally get to meet you.”

Grandpa Dai said kindly, "This is a gift from your grandparents to you. See if you like it. If you don't, I'll buy you something else later."

As he spoke, Grandpa Dai reached out and picked up an exquisite box that was placed to the side, and handed it directly to Shen Xiaoxiao.

Shen Xiaoxiao was flattered and quickly took the box with both hands, feeling its weight. "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!" Shen Xiaoxiao said gratefully.

As Shen Xiaoxiao gazed into the expectant eyes of her grandparents, a wave of emotion welled up within her.

She gently lifted the lid of the box and looked closely. Inside were pieces of jewelry of exceptional quality, which would be priceless in later generations, with any one piece worth tens of millions.

Shen Xiaoxiao was amazed; her gaze was drawn to one of the most dazzling pieces of jewelry. The piece was entirely emerald green, like tender spring leaves, radiating a captivating, cloud-like glow.

"Is this an emerald? It's so beautiful!" Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim.

She carefully closed the box, then looked up at Grandpa and Grandma Dai and said sincerely, "Grandpa and Grandma Dai, this is far too precious, I cannot accept it."

Grandma Dai smiled, her eyes shining with kindness, and said, "Take it, child. I have prepared one for every child in the family; this is yours."

Shen Xiaoxiao hesitated. She felt that these pieces of jewelry were far too precious and that she was unworthy of them.

At this moment, Dai Xingyun also spoke up, "It's alright, Xiaoxiao, just accept it. It's a token of Grandma's affection."

Seeing that Dai Xingyun said the same thing, Shen Xiaoxin's worries eased a little. She thanked Grandpa and Grandma Dai again, saying that she would cherish the gift.

Just then, Dai Zhan stepped forward, a serious expression on his face. Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by his imposing presence.

Before Shen Xiaoxiao could react, Liang Xinxing greeted her with a smile and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, I am Xingyun's mother. May I call you that?"

"This is her father. He's a very serious person, so don't let him scare you," Liang Xinxing said softly, comforting Shen Xiaoxiao and telling her not to be nervous.

Then, Liang Xinxing gently handed over the box, smiling as she said, "This is a gift that my husband and I specially prepared for you. Open it and see if you like it."

Shen Xiaoxiao carefully took the box and gently opened it. Inside were several jade bracelets and pendants of excellent quality, as well as a set of exquisite gold jewelry that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

She looked at Dai Xingyun with some difficulty, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Dai Xingyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly, "Please accept it. This is a gift from my parents to their daughter-in-law."
