It didn’t surprise him that the first person to come at the mentioning of gifts was Charissa, of the his nieces and nephews he always liked how cunning she was. It was his family blood alright. He knew she often used him to get things, but he didn’t care. She was family and he loved her regardless of pretenses. “Charissa!” He took her hug and returned it warmly – planting a kiss onto her forehead. “Another year and you grow even taller. Eventually I won’t have to lean down to kiss you.” He teased her and sighed – letting his hands on her waist. “Beijing wsa fine, but is a year is too long away from you my dear. Come I have you presents in here.” He released her from his hold as he went back into the guest bedroom – the bags were on the ground near the beg. He grabbed the bag for Carissa and handed it to her. “Of course you know the rules about gifts….” A wily smile showed itself, but he started to chuckle. “You can show me your thanks later.” Lan gave her a wink and waited for her to see inside. He gotten her some clothes, designer stuff he picked up from a fashion show, jewelry, make up, and at underneath it all was a small box filled with things for… a young woman like her. A few toys for her to enjoy herself with. Everything always luxurious and expensive as one would expect from Lan.
