Meng Ran chatted with his family for a while after finishing dinner.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Gwen sent him a message, indicating that he could set off.
After receiving the message, Meng Ran said goodbye to his family and went to the garage to drive his Black Car towards Gwen's house.
Perhaps because it was Christmas Eve, there weren't many people on the street, and many shops had already closed early.
However, although the shops were closed, their decorations and the various decorations on the road were all creating a festive atmosphere.
Basically, every shop window displayed a Christmas Tree, with flashing lights, ribbons, and candy hanging on it. Red and green lights were shining, looking very beautiful.
Some more business-minded merchants didn't miss this opportunity either. They even put up advertisements next to the Christmas Tree in their shops.
This made everyone who stopped to look at their Christmas Tree couldn't help but notice their advertisement.
Meng Ran's driving skills were pretty good; it didn't take him long to drive smoothly to Gwen's house.
When he arrived, he saw that Gwen was already waiting for him at the door.
Gwen was wearing a red sweater to match the Christmas atmosphere, and the sweater made Gwen's delicate skin appear even whiter.
"Come in quickly, we're making Christmas Pudding and Christmas Cookies right now."
"I just finished making a Little Deer cookie, I'll give it to you to eat when it's baked."
Seeing Meng Ran get out of the car, Gwen hurriedly ran over and hugged his arm, leading him inside.
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Meng Ran pinched Gwen's little face and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I still have gifts for your family in the car."
After finishing, Meng Ran walked to the Black Car with Gwen and opened the trunk.
After opening the trunk, Meng Ran first handed Gwen a bouquet of fresh flowers, then smiled gently, "Merry Christmas! My princess."
Gwen's face was filled with surprise when she saw the large bouquet of flowers prepared for her.
She accepted the bouquet with a happy smile, then tiptoed and kissed Meng Ran on the mouth.
Feeling the soft touch, Meng Ran smiled happily, then turned around and took out several beautifully packaged gift boxes from the trunk. He had prepared a gift for everyone in Gwen's family.
Because Gwen was holding a large bouquet of flowers, Meng Ran carried all the gifts himself.
These gifts were stacked high, and Meng Ran could only show his head after holding them.
Just like this, he held the gifts steadily in his arms and walked into Gwen's house.
Gwen's home was already decked out in festive colors, radiating Christmas cheer.
Two, human-sized Christmas Trees stood beside the warm fireplace, adorned with colorful fairy lights and ornaments. Two bunches of Mistletoe were also hanging on the wall behind them.
According to Christmas lore, any two people standing under the Mistletoe, regardless of gender, must kiss, as it brings good luck and love.
Although Meng Ran also wanted to be romantic, he didn't dare to be bold in Gwen's home at the moment.
Kissing his girlfriend in front of her parents, while exciting to think about, was something he would just think about. There was no need to actually do it.
At this moment, Gwen's mother, Helen, and her siblings were at the dining table, making Christmas Pudding and Christmas Cookies. George was also there, arranging the tableware and seating.
Seeing Meng Ran walk in, Helen greeted him warmly. George, though not overly enthusiastic, maintained a polite smile.
After Gwen helped Meng Ran put down his gifts, she quickly pulled him over to the dining table to join in making Christmas Pudding and Christmas Cookies.
On Christmas, everyone participates in making pudding and cookies, symbolizing happiness and harmony.
Meng Ran joining Gwen's family in making these things also showed that her family accepted him.
George joined in the preparations after setting out the cutlery and chairs.
And so, Meng Ran and Gwen's family chatted while making pudding and cookies. The atmosphere, which had been a little awkward at first, became harmonious and lively thanks to his humor.
George had been a bit stiff and serious when Meng Ran first arrived, but his expression softened after a while of chatting.
He still remembered that his first impression of this young man had been quite good.
His current seriousness was partly to maintain a father's dignity and solemnity, and partly because he still had a few small complaints about this pig who had stolen his daughter.
Although every father with a daughter knows that this day will come, no matter how early they start preparing themselves, it doesn't change the uncomfortable result now.
After the unavoidable discomfort, Meng Ran's behavior became the only thing George could use to comfort himself.
As things stood, George seemed to feel quite good about him, which also allowed the perpetually nervous Meng Ran to relax.
Every time Meng Ran saw George's face, he couldn't help but think of some past nights, of George at the window, holding a flashlight and reading information.
Coupled with the natural pressure of being a girlfriend's father, Meng Ran's nervousness in front of George was also unavoidable.
But now, seeing George's demeanor and expression begin to soften, Meng Ran gradually stopped being so nervous and slowly relaxed.
After making the Christmas Cookies and Christmas Pudding, it was almost time for dinner, and Helen entered the kitchen to start cooking the dinner she had prepared long ago.
Before long, a lavish Christmas meal was laid out on the table.
Gwen's family had prepared a traditional Christmas dinner, including Roast Ribeye, Christmas Ham, Sea Bass, Smoked Salmon, and some Cranberry Sauce.
The sea bass wasn't a particularly traditional Christmas dish; it was a specialty of Gwen's mother, Helen.
Once all the dishes were on the table, dinner began. After the earlier buildup and casual conversation, the atmosphere was quite lively, without the awkwardness and silence that Meng Ran had been worried about.
Although Meng Ran felt great, the Venom inside him wasn't so happy.
Because he was a guest at Gwen's house, Meng Ran didn't have much of an appetite. So, even though the dishes were plentiful, he didn't put much on his plate, just enough to avoid looking like he wasn't enjoying himself.
Therefore, even though Venom was quite interested in the Roast Ribeye, Meng Ran only gave it half a piece and didn't add any more.
Venom, who hadn't eaten enough in the afternoon, was full of resentment, constantly urging Meng Ran to buy a lot of meat to eat when they got home later.
And so, in a harmonious and warm atmosphere, Meng Ran's first visit to Gwen's house ended perfectly, without a single unpleasant moment.
