116: Yang Mi's relatives!
After finishing the meal, the two looked at each other, the meaning in their eyes clear without needing to be spoken.
Their passion burned like fire.
They couldn't wait to head to the bedroom.
After having too much of a "vegetarian" diet, it was time to "eat meat."
A few days passed.
After "Hello, Mr. Tree" passed censorship, the release date was set for November 5th.
That meant there was about half a month left.
During this time, they needed to hurry with the promotion.
It wasn't for the box office, but just to gain more buzz and change the stereotype that Wang Baoqiang could only play fools.
Meanwhile, at the Beijing Film Academy.
Naza was in class.
Since finishing the last film, she had been attending classes at school.
After all, she was still a student with over a year until graduation!
While in class, Naza's thoughts drifted toward Chen Le.
She had known for a few days that Yang Mi was back, so she hadn't let Brother Le visit her during this time.
Brother Le had been accompanying her these past few days, and she was actually quite satisfied.
Naturally, she wouldn't cause trouble for Brother Le now.
She was quite sensible; she was content just to have a place in his heart and wouldn't dare ask for more.
On the other side, not long after Yang Mi woke up, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID; it was her mother calling.
Answering the call, Mother Yang's voice came through the phone.
"Mi Mi, are you still filming right now?" Mother Yang asked.
"I'm done," Yang Mi replied to her mother's question while sitting on the living room sofa.
"Then are you at Little Le's place now?" Mother Yang asked again.
"Yes, we're at home," Yang Mi nodded.
"Okay, your uncle and your younger cousins are coming to our house for dinner tonight. Bring Little Le home to eat with us and get to know your uncle and the others," Mother Yang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Yang Mi nodded.
Then, Mother Yang hung up the phone.
Yang Mi glanced at the wide-open bedroom door and saw that Chen Le was still sleeping.
He had gone to bed late last night, and with the heavy physical exertion, he had slept until now without waking.
Yang Mi thought about it and didn't wake him, letting him continue sleeping.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock that Chen Le woke up groggily.
He checked the time and saw it was already past ten, so he hurriedly got out of bed.
He glanced beside him; sure enough, Yang Mi had long since woken up.
He changed his clothes and walked out of the room; Yang Mi looked at him and nodded.
After washing up, he walked over to Yang Mi.
"Have you had breakfast?" Chen Le asked.
"I have. My mom just called me," Yang Mi nodded, bringing up the phone call from her mother.
"Is something up?" Chen Le immediately picked up on Yang Mi's implication.
"Yeah, my uncle and younger cousins are at my house. My mom wants me to go back and bring you along for dinner," Yang Mi said, looking at Chen Le with expectation in her eyes.
"Sure! When? At noon?" Chen Le asked immediately, noting it was already late morning.
"No, it's for dinner tonight. We have time; we can go buy some things to take home this afternoon," Yang Mi shook her head.
"Okay," Chen Le nodded.
He remembered the last time he went was last year.
Last time was to meet the parents; this time was to meet the relatives.
After finishing lunch, Chen Le took Yang Mi to a nearby mall to buy some gifts first.
"Mi Mi, what does your uncle usually like? Do you know?" Chen Le asked, looking at Yang Mi beside him.
Since they were giving gifts, they naturally had to ask about preferences.
In Chen Le's memory, there didn't seem to be much information about Yang Mi's uncle.
"Emmm, I'm not too sure either. He likes fitness, but I don't know about anything else," Yang Mi shook her head.
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Chen Le felt a bit helpless; it was as if she hadn't said anything at all.
Yang Mi's uncle liked fitness, but he couldn't exactly bring fitness equipment over.
After thinking about it, he decided to buy things mainly based on the preferences of Mother Yang and Father Yang; that way, it would be harder to go wrong. Even if Yang Mi's uncle didn't like it, at least her parents would.
With that in mind, Chen Le took Yang Mi for a stroll around the mall.
They carried many bags of gifts, among which were sportswear and sneakers prepared for Yang Mi's uncle.
"Alright, alright, Old Chen, stop buying. There's too much. Do you want to buy the whole mall?" Yang Mi laughed, covering her mouth as she looked at Chen Le with all the bags.
"Okay, that's enough then," Chen Le nodded.
In reality, he couldn't carry any more; he had too many things in his hands.
Returning to the car, they put the things in the trunk.
Then, the two of them drove toward Yang Mi's home.
Around three in the afternoon, they were almost there.
In the car, Yang Mi called her mother to tell her she was almost home.
Soon, they arrived at the front door.
At this moment, Mother Yang and the others were already waiting at the door.
Naturally, this included Yang Mi's uncle Yang Xiaojing, and her younger cousins.
The whole Yang family was waiting at the door; they had all heard about Yang Mi's boyfriend.
Especially Yang Mi's younger cousins; they were young people, after all, and knew about Chen Le's achievements.
Hearing that the famous Director Chen Le was actually Yang Mi's boyfriend, they were naturally very shocked.
"They're here!" Yang Mi's younger female cousin exclaimed upon seeing Chen Le's car.
Yang Mi got out of the car, and then Chen Le, in the driver's seat, also stepped out.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie," Chen Le greeted them politely.
Just then, a middle-aged man with bulging muscles walked over, looking at Chen Le with a sharp glint in his eyes.
When Chen Le saw this middle-aged man, he recognized him at a glance: Yang Mi's uncle, Yang Xiaojing.
It was mainly because his muscles were too prominent, and his age and appearance looked very similar to Father Yang, so his identity could be confirmed without much guessing.
The other two unfamiliar young people, a man and a woman, should be Yang Mis Younger Paternal Cousins.
"Hello, Uncle," Chen Le nodded and greeted him with a smile.
Yang Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "Haha, hello. You must be Mi Mi's boyfriend?"
"That's right," Chen Le nodded with a smile.
Then he went to the back of the car and opened the trunk.
"These are the gifts Mi Mi and I bought for you. I hope you like them," Chen Le said, moving the gifts out of the trunk one by one.
Yang Father and Mother saw this and immediately opened their mouths in surprise. "Little Le, why did you buy so many things? This is way too expensive."
"No, no, it didn't cost that much," Chen Le waved his hand.
He currently had over a hundred million in his pocket, so these gifts were nothing at all.
"Alright, come in quickly. I didn't expect you to arrive so early; dinner isn't even ready yet," Mother Yang pulled Yang Mi and Chen Le into the house.
Beside them, Yang Mis Younger Paternal Cousins were treated as laborers, carrying the gifts.
