On a bright spring day, Han Xiaotao stretched out and got up and watered the flowers on the balcony.
"Deng-deng." Someone knocked politely outside.
Han Xiaotao put down the swing door in his hand. It was Min Hao's personal assistant - the guy who gave her the contract, Asuo. This time he also held a box in his hand and looked at Han Xiaotao with a smile.
"Miss Han." Asuo bowed.
"What are you..." Han Xiaotao looked at the box in his hand with a suspicious look on his face. If it was a contract, there shouldn't be such a big box, right?
Seeing Han Xiaotao's nervous expression, Asuo smiled and said, "The young master asked me to pick up Miss Han for the birthday party." As he said that, he handed over the box in his hand. "Please put it on first, it's the young master himself.
Chosen.”
"Birthday party?" Han Xiaotao took the box and opened it doubtfully. There was a dress and a pair of high heels neatly packed inside.
"Today is Miss Huaijin's twentieth birthday party. Because the young master said he would send someone to invite him personally, he didn't send an invitation. Han Xiaotao put on some clothes and get in the car with me." Behind Asuo, there was that
The Porsche with its flashing black halo looked exactly like the first time I saw it.
"Is it Sister Huaijin's birthday? Ah, no one told me, I haven't prepared anything!" Han Xiaotao stamped her feet and patted her head. This Cui Minhao, why didn't you tell me in advance about such an important matter?
Please tell me. Is it possible that you have to go empty-handed?
"We don't have much time. Miss Han should go change clothes first. I will wait at the door." Asuo said respectfully.
Han Xiaotao had no other choice, and it wouldn't work if she continued to waste it like this. She carried the box back and put on her dress, stepped on her high heels unaccustomedly, and turned around awkwardly in front of the mirror. She didn't know if it was due to the discomfort caused by the last cocktail party.
Cui Minhao noticed that the dress this time reached to her ankles, but it could bring out Xiaotao's slender and graceful figure. Although she was not as tall as Huaijin, her body proportions were well balanced and she had her own sense of beauty in her clothes. She herself was not
Thinking this way, Asuo seemed to really rely on his clothes. Han Xiaotao got into the car and sat in the back seat. Asuo had already said before driving that he was going to a salon to get his hair done.
By the time the car drove back to the Cui family's mansion, it was already close to noon, and the banquet was in full swing. People of all kinds gathered here, in the square, hall, and garden, and melodious music was intertwined with the bustle of people.
Asuo opened the car door and Han Xiaotao got out of the car. Cui Minhao in a tuxedo was already standing in front of him. His tall figure could properly handle the charm of the tuxedo, and his graceful demeanor was like a handsome man walking out of a painting. He stretched out his hand and let
Han Xiaotao took it on his shoulders and walked toward the crowd.
"Wow, Master Minhao."
"That woman is so happy."
"Ah, I'm so envious of people."
Hearing the sounds coming and going all around, Han Xiaotao swallowed her saliva and walked forward bravely. She was not wearing a dress to imitate a lady, but she also wanted to look fat.
"If I see my mother later, can you handle it?" When he walked to the door of the hall, Min Hao stopped and asked softly.
Han Xiaotao raised her head and happened to meet Minhao's gaze looking down at him, with a touch of worry and uneasiness. Xiaotao's heart calmed down for some reason and she cheered up. Since she had decided on the future she wanted to work hard for, she would not
It was time for Min Hao to worry anymore. She took a deep breath and pulled her arm out of Min Hao's elbow.
Min Hao was stunned and looked at her in confusion. Do you want to be a deserter at this time?
Xiao Tao stretched out her hands, gently pulled up the corners of Min Hao's mouth, then gave him a big smile and said, "That's probably enough."
"What?" Min Hao looked at her strange behavior and was a little confused.
"With Minhao's smile, you can feel the strength to support you, so you don't have to worry about other things." Xiao Tao said with a bright smile.
Somewhere in Cui Minhao's heart seemed to be lit up by that smile, and his face couldn't help but be filled with happiness. Han Xiaotao took his arm and walked into the hall.
Huaijin was chatting with a group of people. When he saw Xiaotao and Minhao coming in, he immediately greeted them.
"Xiao Tao!"
"Sister Huaijin." Han Xiaotao looked at Cui Huaijin today. I don't know when, her short hair had grown to shoulder length, with a soft and bright luster. The gems on her earlobes were looming in the hair, setting off her snow-white skin.
She looked even more charming. Even Han Xiaotao looked at her with a look of pity on her face and couldn't help but praise: "Sister Huaijin is so beautiful today."
"What? Am I not beautiful usually?" Huaijin wrinkled his nose and pretended to be angry.
"You are beautiful, as beautiful as heaven." Cui Minhao joked.
"Hey, you kid, you are so quick to only care about protecting your wife? You really think you are the messenger who protects her!" Huaijin knocked Min Hao on the head and said.
"Ah!" Min Hao covered his head in pain and looked around. Fortunately, no one saw him. "I said, with so many people watching, can't you save some face for me?"
"What? Face? When did you, the devil incarnate, know that you need to save face? But that's right, you, a little bully, have a stronger self-esteem than anyone else." Huaijin said with a smile. "Since you are begging like this, then I will
I reluctantly agreed. However, I have to discuss something with you."
"Follow me? What?" Cui Minhao asked blankly.
Huaijin smiled mysteriously, pulled Han Xiaotao to his side, winked at Minhao and said, "Lend me your female companion."
"What do you want to do?" Min Hao looked at her puzzled.
"It's none of your business. Just go ahead and play. I promise, I'll return her intact to Zhao in a quarter of an hour, okay? Oh, you're such a big man, why are you such a mother-in-law?" Cui Huaijin said, and moved Min Hao away.
Pushed. "Be good, let's go play." Then he took Xiaotao's hand and turned to walk upstairs.
Xiao Tao turned back to Min Hao and nodded, indicating that it didn't matter. She knew what Min Hao was worried about. Without him, if he met his mother, there might be some embarrassment. But with Sister Huaijin by his side, there should be no embarrassment.
Question. This is what Han Xiaotao thought, and indeed nothing else happened. Huaijin just pulled her to his room, closed the door and asked her to sit down, as if he had something to say.
"Sister Huaijin, is there something wrong?" Han Xiaotao sat on the sofa and looked up and asked. "Can't others hear you?"
Huaijin smiled, rummaged in the drawer for a while, took out a brocade box, and handed it to Han Xiaotao.
"What is this?" Han Xiaotao asked.
"Open it and take a look." Huaijin sat down next to her and gestured.
Han Xiaotao hesitated for a moment. Although she didn't know what Sister Huaijin wanted to do, she didn't mind listening to her words, so she opened the brocade box. Inside was a Swarovski bracelet.
"this……"
Before Han Xiaotao could finish speaking, Huaijin took her hand, put the bracelet on her wrist, and said, "This is specially prepared for you, Xiaotao, just think of it as a gift."
Han Xiaotao blinked and looked at Huaijin in confusion. "Today is your birthday, Sister Huaijin, but why did you give me a gift? Besides, this is too expensive, I can't..."
Huaijin grabbed Han Xiaotao's hand that was about to pick off the chain, and held it so tightly that it even made Han Xiaotao feel pain. Xiaotao raised her eyes and saw Sister Huaijin looking at her seriously, and the smile on her face faded.
.
"This is not a gift I gave to Xiao Tao alone." Huai Jin said seriously. "You should have heard Min Hao mention grandma, the only warm and kind elder who gave Min Hao his childhood."
When Han Xiaotao heard about Min Hao's grandmother, her heart seemed to become softer. She nodded and said, "Well, she is someone whom Min Hao cherishes very much. She is also someone whom Sister Huaijin loves, right?"
"Grandma is the most considerate and wise person in the world. She left this bracelet and asked me to pass it on to her future granddaughter-in-law. She said that if it is the girl Min Hao really wants to be with for the rest of his life, I will definitely
Even though she can't wait until that time, she still has to hand something like this into the hands of the woman who will accompany her favorite grandson all her life." I don't know if it was because of the mention of grandma, Huaijin's eyes flashed
With a trace of tears.
"Sun, grandson's wife?" Han Xiaotao was a little scared.
"Yes, it's a family heirloom, so I want to leave it to my grandson-in-law, someone who can protect each other with Minhao for a lifetime." Huaijin said with a smile.
"But, but I..." Xiao Tao lowered her head in panic, her face a little hot. What will happen in the future? I still haven't made a conclusion yet. Is it too early to give her such a thing now?
"I know what you are thinking, Xiaotao. But it shouldn't be like that, right? The Xiaotao I know is so strong and optimistic. If you want to stay with Minhao, you won't be knocked down, right?
Because I thought this way, I identified Xiao Tao. I had a hunch that Xiao Tao would solve the tragedy that has continued in this family." Huaijin held Xiao Tao's hand tightly.
"Is it a tragedy?" Han Xiaotao didn't quite understand the meaning of Huaijin's words, but he saw sad tears in her eyes.
"Yes, it is a tragedy for a big family." Huaijin sighed slightly. "Family, friendship, and love, there will always be sacrifices. Do you know? As a family heirloom, such a bracelet should be in the hands of my mother.
, but grandma didn’t give it to her, because she knew that a person who is not part of this marriage has no such meaning. Grandma said that this bracelet represents true love. I give it to you, and I also ask you on behalf of grandma,
Xiaotao and Minhao must be happy. I believe I have really seen the tacit understanding and inseparable emotions between you. I don't doubt my feelings, so Xiaotao and Minhao don't let me down, okay?
"
Han Xiaotao looked up at Huai Jin's red eyes. For a long time, she suddenly felt that her wrist had become extra heavy. However, there was no way to escape. She lowered her head and looked at the bracelet on her wrist, her heart trembling slightly.
