"Butter! - Please open your eyes, beautiful lady!" Xiao Xixi took out a box like magic and raised it to her mother's eyes. Her delicate little face was filled with a warm smile: "Mom, I have been working for so long
I haven’t bought you any decent gifts yet. I went shopping with Xiaowen today and I bought you a necklace. Do you like it?"
Xiao's mother always felt that Xiao Xixi had always been like a little girl. She had always thoughtlessly headed east and west whenever she wanted. She had never had a small idea. But today, seeing how she was acting mysterious, she was full of expectations for herself.
Expression. My heart felt sour, and I was so moved that I was speechless: "I like it, I like it. As long as Xixi gives it to me, my mother likes it——"
"Oh, Mom, I knew you would say that." Xiao Xixi was a little dissatisfied with her reaction, "Then I'll put it on for you now! Don't say no."
As he spoke, he tied the necklace behind Xiao's mother's neck with his own hands.
The necklace is made of platinum, with a drop-shaped pendant inlaid with a small diamond. It is both stable, simple and elegant, and not outdated.
"Mom, does it look good?" Xiao Xixi pulled her mother to look at it in front of the mirror, with an engaged expression on her face.
"It looks good, it looks good." Xiao's mother replied happily from the bottom of her heart, "Xixi, you have really grown up. Don't spend money randomly in the future, learn to save money, and leave it for your own baby to spend in the future."
"Ouch, Mom -" Xiao Xixi pushed her mother Xiao in a coquettish tone, "Why do you think so far away!" She still felt a little embarrassed on her face.
"Xixi, you accidentally touched the wound again. A girl should not have scars on her body, otherwise, she will not be beautiful in the future." Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Xixi's arm wrapped in a small bandage again with distress.
"I know, Mom, I won't be so careless in the future." Xiao Xixi hurriedly responded with a smile. Fortunately, neither her mother nor Xiaowen doubted her excuse at all.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Xiao Xixi glanced at the caller ID "Situ Leiyan", sneered, turned her hand and put the cell phone on the bed, pretending not to hear it no matter how hard it rang.
Situ Leiyan was on the other end of the phone listening to the elongated "beep-beep-" ringtone, his resolute handsome face still clouded.
If she didn't answer the phone, did she not hear it, or was she not answering on purpose?
He pressed the hang up button. What a little girl, since he called her, he also gave himself a step down. He is the dignified Situ Leiyan. Even if he was angry with her yesterday, it was not because she did something wrong.
?
Of course, I accidentally pushed her down onto the debris... I don't know if her injury was serious or not, it rained so heavily last night. I heard Secretary Bi's report this morning, saying that she had taken sick leave.
Could it be that he was seriously injured?
A trace of doubt flashed across Situ Leiyan's narrow eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly. This woman actually made him so worried.
She hadn't explained clearly what he cared about that photo, and she hadn't asked for her forgiveness yet, so she had the audacity to ask for sick leave and not answer the phone!
But... speaking of which, are you hospitalized? Probably not.
Situ Leiyan's slender legs wandered around the president's office for several reincarnations, but he couldn't help but dial the phone. The low and steady male voice commanded in a commanding tone: "Check the admission records of all the hospitals today to see if there is anyone named '
Xiao Xixi's female patient is hospitalized." Damn it.
On the other hand, Xiao Xixi slept comfortably at home without knowing it. When she woke up and looked at her watch, it was already 5:30. Remember that Brother Rui said the dinner was at 7 pm. Oh no, Brother Rui would definitely go early.
Then I have to pick him up earlier. Maybe he will arrive after 6 o'clock.
She hurriedly got up, changed clothes, and combed her hair.
Subconsciously I thought, luckily it's not a big banquet like Situ Leiyan's, where just putting on makeup would take an hour or two. Huh? I don't know why, but he always rings the bell inadvertently.
This bad guy, can't you think of him, don't you remember what he takes himself for?
Xiao Xixi put on some foundation and changed into a white princess dress. She just looked in the mirror a few times when she heard the doorbell ringing outside.
Oh my gosh, it was quite on time. Fortunately, I was more efficient after getting up. She patted her chest and praised herself, ha.
"Xixi, have you packed up? Don't let Yan Rui wait for you." Mother Xiao's voice came from outside the house.
"Okay, okay, Mom, I already know that your 'son' is more important than your daughter! Humph." Xiao Xixi opened the door with a proud expression as if I had already prepared it, and also used a complaining tone.
Mother Xiao looked at Yan Rui in a neat suit in front of her, and Xiao Xixi who was as fresh as a blooming flower standing next to her. She sighed in her heart, if it could be possible, they would be the "golden boy and girl" for each other.
However, her daughter always looked like she didn't feel anything. She didn't mention anything, she just observed the two young people as if nothing happened.
Yan Rui has a sense of responsibility, is calm and unhurried in situations, takes responsibility for everything, handles it properly, and takes good care of Xixi. He is undoubtedly the best candidate for Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law.
"Auntie, I'll take Xixi away, don't worry." Yan Rui said with a nice smile.
"Okay, don't worry. Be careful on the road!" After seeing off the two young people, Xiao's mother's face was filled with a smile. Maybe it was just a matter of time between the two of them. I hope everything goes as she wanted.
It came true as expected.
The car stopped steadily at the door of "Jinyu Night Talk".
"Sir, Miss, please go this way." Under the guidance of the waiter, Xiao Xixi looked at this stylish Western restaurant. The lights were bright but soft, without the ambiguity in the dimness, but still warm.
A sense of intimacy.
There are fresh roses on each dining table. The light yellow tablecloth hangs down, but there are small dishcloths with lace edges on the white porcelain plates with small gold edges. The neatness also highlights the nobility.
Elegant.
"Brother Rui, is this restaurant very expensive?!" Xiao Xixi asked Yan Rui in a low voice after sitting down.
"It's not cheap, and it's not easy to book seats. However, the company was able to survive the crisis, thanks to this legal counsel. If it weren't for her, the company would have almost..." Before Yan Rui could finish speaking, his eyes were cast away.
From a distance, he stopped talking and waved to the other party.
Obviously, he didn't know everything Xiao Xixi had done for him. But it was okay. Xiao Xixi sighed secretly and followed his gaze to meet the legal officer. However, when she saw the other person, the smile froze on her face.
Not far away, wearing a short burgundy dress, wasn't it none other than - Gu Ruolan - walking over slowly?
How could it be her? It's impossible. But it's absolutely and absolutely true that it's her, Gu Ruolan.
"Xixi, let me introduce you. This is Miss Gu Ruolan, who saved the company's legal affairs in times of crisis." Yan Rui introduced politely without knowing anything, "Miss Gu, this is me.
