Chapter 3170 Some Things Shouldn''t Be Said Too Overtly


    Vivian was lost in thought when the three kids came downstairs.


    The three kids saw Vivian and gathered around her, greeting her in unison," Good afternoon, Ms.


    Vivian."


    Vivian looked at the three kids surrounding her, smiled, and replied, "Lanie, Rainie, and Tommy, good


    afternoon."


    She suddenly remembered something and picked up her backpack. She took out three neatly wrapped


    gifts from inside, handed them to the kids, and said, "This one is for Lanie, this one is for Rainie, and


    this one is for Tommy."


    The three kids epted the gifts and thanked her, ''Thank you, Ms. Vivian."


    As Luca looked at the three happy kids, she shook her head helplessly." You bought wine, and now


    you''re giving gifts to the children. Vivian, if you keep spending like this, I won''t dare to invite you the


    next time there''s something good to eat at home."


    "Come on, I just find the kids too adorable. That''s why I bought them books. They''re just books, nothing


    too pricey," Vivian quickly exined.


    These books were ones she saw while browsing the bookstore. She thought they were suitable for the


    kids, so she carefully wrapped them up. They looked quite exquisite.


    "They''re really not that expensive, Luca. Don''t forget about me when there''s something good to eat


    next time," added Vivian, sping her hands together and giving Luca puppy eyes.


    "Alright. I won''t forget you when there''s something good to eat," replied Luca helplessly, shaking her


    head.


    Tommy kept staring at Vivian with his round eyes. Suddenly, he said, "Ms. Vivian, you''re getting more


    and more beautiful."


    "Yeah, Ms. Vivian is getting prettier!" Rainie chimed in.


    "What?" Vivian could not help but touch her face and then look at Lanie.


    Even if Tommy and Rainie might just be saying nice things to tter her, Lanie would not do the same.


    Even though Vivian had not spent much time with the kids, she knew that Lanie''s temperament was


    most like Luke. He would not lie.


    "Yes." Lanie nodded. He was not as talkative as his younger siblings, but he agreed with them.


    "See, I told you that the kids won''t lie. Look, they all think so," Luca said cheerfully, indicating that she


    did not lie.


    "Oh, it''s just like before, isn''t it?" Vivian felt a little embarrassed. Beingplimented by the adults and


    then the kids made her want to break out into a grin.


    Rainie raised her hand and touched Vivian''s face.


    They were familiar with each other, which was why she made such a move. Feeling the touch on her


    fingertips, she said, "Your skin has improved a lot, Ms. Vivian. You really have be more beautiful!"


    Vivian was delighted by herments. She gave Rainie a hug and replied," Rainie, you''re beautiful


    too!"


    "Thank you for thepliment, Ms. Vivian." Rainie gave her a sweet smile and epted Vivian''s


    praise.


    Vivian was startled for a moment.


    People in her country always graciously eptedpliments and praises from others, and then they


    would say thank you.


    When did she start to doubt the sincerity of others'' words when they praised her beauty?


    Vivian felt like she was not even as mature as a child.


    Regardless of whether it was true or false, praise was something that made people happy. She did not


    need to shy away from it like a child.


    There was no need for her to be socking in confidence...


    "Thank you for yourpliments too." Vivian thought it through and then graciously epted their


    praise. Whether genuine or not, getting praise was a good thing. She should not feel embarrassed


    about it.


    She picked up her cup of flower tea and took a sip, feeling rxed.


    Luca and Vivian chatted for a while longer. Soon, Nina arrived.


    "Luca, I''m here to help!" Nina walked into the living room, saw Luca and Vivian sitting there, and


    greeted them with a smile, "Hi, Vivian. It’s been a long time."


    "Hi, Nina. d to see you again." Vivian smiled at Nina. Even though she did not know her well, she


    knew Nina was a good person.


    Ray often said her social circle was too narrow. He told her that most people did not have malicious


    intentions and she should broaden her horizons and interact with more people. That would enrich her


    life and experiences.


    However, when she was in Russia, Vivian''s world revolved around Gordan. She knew her attention


    would be diverted if she had more social interactions, but she still did not do so.


    It was not until she came to A City that she felt the change in her social circle. With Luca''s


    encouragement, she became more willing to engage in


    various social activities.


    As long as the people she interacted with were good people, why should she be so submissive?


    Vivian had an epiphany. At the same time, she heard Luca say to Nina," Have a seat and have some


    flower tea. Everything is ready. There''s nothing you need to help with."


    Nina sat on another couch and ced a bag on the coffee table. "You''ve got everything ready?"


    "Yes, Aunt Neile and I have everything prepared, so there''s nothing to help with." Luca nodded.


    "I came early just to help. I didn''t expect you to have everything ready." Nina could not help but wonder


    aloud, "Why are you and Aunt Neile so fast? I wanted to help. Otherwise, it''d be awkward to just sit and


    eat!"


    "It''s no big deal. Eat moreter to help me finish up all the food. Don''t leave too much behind," replied


    Luca as she thought about the food. If everyone ate a little out of politeness or other reasons, there


    would still be leftovers even if she made various dishes for the kids tomorrow.


    The food, even if stored in the refrigerator, could not be stored for too long during summer.


    Nina patted her stomach lightly. "Don''t worry, I''ve saved room in my stomach. I''ll make sure to devour


    all your foodter."


    "Ms. Nina." Lanie suddenly looked at Nina.


    "Yes? What''s the matter?" Nina looked at Lanie with a smile. Luke''s son did not speak much usually.


    Hence, she was a bit surprised by his sudden behavior.


    "Some things shouldn''t be said too overtly," replied Lanie.


    Nina did not understand what he meant and turned to look at Luca.


    Luca smirked. Of course, she knew what her son meant.


    "What''s going on?" Nina was puzzled. "Are you saying that I can’t eat that much? It''s been a while


    since I went for a barbecue, and the food was prepared by Luca. I''m sure I can eat a lot."


    When Nina thought about the meats marinated by Luca being grilled on the barbecue, she could not


    wait to taste them.

    Lanie pointed in the direction of the dining room and said, "Take a look at the ingredients on the dining


    table."


    "Is there a lot prepared? Will many people be joining tonight? I only bought two bags of fruit. Will it be


    enough? Oh no, I''ll ask Percy to get some moreter..." said Nina as she walked to the dining table,


    unable to get the rest of her words out.
