The sea breeze blows even more violently at the pier at night, and it seems that people's faces also have a salty taste.
Han Xiaotao wrapped her clothes tightly and walked to the pier against the wind. As expected, Min Hao was waiting here. The wind was blowing his hair and clothes, like an elf in the night. Han Xiaotao took a deep breath and walked forward.
Go and stand next to him.
"Cough, cough."
Han Xiaotao coughed twice, fearing that if Cui Minhao didn't speak, the two of them would fall into awkward silence again.
Min Hao turned around, looked at Han Xiaotao and said, "You don't know how cold it is when you wear so little?"
"No, my coat got wet from the wine that Xiaoxiao spilled, so..." Han Xiaotao explained bravely, but Minhao took off his coat and put it on her body. Han Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look.
She looked at him and lowered her eyelids. "By the way, why did you stay here so late today?"
Cui Minhao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the sea and said: "Ah, um, because the company has something to deal with, I have to stay and deal with it, so it's a little late."
Han Xiaotao looked at him suspiciously. When did Young Master Cui start to care about the company's affairs? Or is Sister Huaijin now busy preparing for the wedding, so Cui Minhao was also pushed aside? Thinking of Sister Huaijin's inexplicable marriage,
Han Xiaotao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She knew that, in fact, Min Hao felt the same way. She didn't know what Enzhi had been like these days. On the surface, he still looked the same as usual. He didn't care about other things and went to and from school.
It's natural. But the more he behaves like this, the more worrying he becomes.
Han Xiaotao thought dully, but Cui Minhao knocked her on the head and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Han Xiaotao covered her head in pain and replied in a complaining tone: "No, it hurts!"
Cui Minhao looked at her dissatisfied expression and felt a little amused. He turned around and leaned against the railing, saying to Han Xiaotao, "Okay, I'll give you some compensation after I think about it."
"Compensation?" Han Xiaotao blinked.
"Close your eyes first." Min Hao said mysteriously.
Han Xiaotao looked at Min Hao doubtfully. Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she still closed her eyes obediently. The sea breeze blew over and gently touched her neck, which felt a bit refreshing and itchy. Suddenly, her chest felt cold. Han Xiaotao was surprised.
He opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at his chest. There were two intertwined "hearts" hanging on a thin silver necklace. "This is..."
Cui Minhao kicked his hands in his pockets and said, "I passed by the counter and thought it was pretty good, so I bought it."
Han Xiaotao was a little confused. Such a silver necklace was not particularly valuable, so she was surprised that Cui Minhao would buy it and give it to her. Could it be that what she said that day made him enlightened?
"It's not something expensive, so you shouldn't refuse it, right?" Cui Minhao asked pretending to be relaxed.
Han Xiaotao smiled, but pretended to be serious and said, "Even so, it's still the Cui family's money. I..."
"It's the salary paid to me by the Cui family, that's my money!" Cui Minhao blurted out in desperation. Probably because he was afraid of being rejected by Han Xiaotao last time, and he didn't want to run into trouble this time, so he didn't see that Han Xiaotao was joking.
"Salary?" Han Xiaotao frowned and looked at him in confusion.
"Eh? Well... I got the salary of a temporary employee because I helped with some things today. As you know, I don't like to take care of the company's affairs, so that's why." Cui Minhao began to make up excuses to cover up his embarrassment.
But Han Xiaotao's eyes were clear and full of doubt. As the future heir of Sapphire, it was natural for him to solve the company's problems. How could there be any reason to pay a temporary salary? However, she knew why Min Hao lied, but she didn't know what he meant.
Is the salary that belongs to him true or false? He may have some other channels to earn salary, which is not impossible. But, would the dignified young master of the Cui family work so hard to earn money by himself?
"I... also went to Sapphire Department Store today, but I didn't see you." Han Xiaotao stared at Cui Minhao's profile and asked tentatively.
"I... was in the office, how could you see me?" Min Hao said a little unnaturally, not daring to look at Han Xiaotao. He had been "pretending" to look like that just now, and even his own mother might not be able to
Do you recognize it? Besides, it is better to be embarrassed in front of your own mother than in front of that other person!
"That's right. How could a person with such status as Mr. Cui show up like those people pretending to be bears at counter events?" Han Xiaotao said while carefully looking at the tuft of down on the back of Cui Minhao's neck.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully stretched out her hand.
Cui Minhao was still thinking to himself: "Yes, how can I, the young master, do a job that makes him appear in public..."
"It's true that he didn't show his face, he just hid it inside the doll." Han Xiaotao murmured.
Cui Minhao choked, his eyes widened with surprise. He quickly said: "What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you everything..." When he turned around, he saw Han Xiaotao grabbing a handful from the back of his neck.
The fluff was clearly the material of the stuffed bear just now. Cui Minhao's face suddenly turned red, he scratched his head and said: "Ah, really... How could this kind of thing be on my body? Ah, I understand, it must be
When I was in the elevator just now, I was accidentally rubbed. So..."
"Is it because of me?" Cui Minhao was still justifying himself, but he heard Han Xiaotao ask this question in a confused way. He was stunned and looked at Han Xiaotao in confusion. He didn't know what Han Xiaotao wanted to ask. Han Xiaotao
He raised his head, looked into his eyes, and repeated it.
"Is it because I said that I couldn't accept the money from the Cui family, so I wanted to get a salary from my own work and give me a gift?" Han Xiaotao said as he reached out and touched the pendant on his chest.
Cui Minhao didn't speak for a long time, just looking at Han Xiaotao. The voice of Hailang kept echoing in his ears, and the skylight reflected on the sea, making his side face glow with a faint blue light. He didn't know that such a move was
Wouldn't it make Han Xiaotao uneasy? She is such a self-respecting girl. Wouldn't she be able to bear it if she knew that she was working as a temporary employee? He didn't want to lose the stability he finally got now. "No...
There is no such thing..."
Han Xiaotao stared at Cui Minhao's evasive eyes, and she seemed to be sure in an instant. Minhao's expression said everything. The waves under the beach seemed to rush into her heart, hitting the closed door in her heart.
The gate of the big city made all the blood in her body seem to boil and become heated. She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Cui Minhao, burying her head in his chest. Her eyes seemed a little sore and moist, and she couldn't help but
He saw that his shoulders were just shaking slightly.
"I... like your gift very much. It is the first gift Master Cui has earned with his own efforts. I will cherish it for the rest of my life."
Cui Minhao's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he swallowed back the words of defense he wanted to say. He gently hugged Han Xiaotao and held her in his arms with warm arms. If he could just rub her into his flesh and blood,
, and he will not hesitate to merge with himself and never separate. No matter how much effort and hardship he puts in, nothing is not worth it.
"Silly girl." A faint smile appeared on Cui Minhao's lips. "It's very late. It's windy at the pier. I'll take you back to the hotel."
Han Xiaotao hugged him coquettishly for a while, then nodded to him.
Cui Minhao rubbed her long hair, lifted up his windbreaker and hugged her into his arms, holding her in his arms and walking back quickly. The wind blew their backs, shimmering like waves in the sea.
Min Hao walked Han Xiaotao to the door of the room before saying goodbye.
"You, you should pay attention to safety when driving home, you know?" Han Xiaotao couldn't help but muttered, and she didn't know when she became as verbose as an old woman.
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you? There are so few buses on Pearl Island, so it's okay. Go back to sleep and have a good dream." Min Hao kissed her forehead, turned and walked towards the elevator.
Han Xiaotao smiled, took out the key card and opened the door. When she heard the noise, she pushed the door with her hand, but found that it was locked with a chain and couldn't be pushed open.
"Isn't it?" Han Xiaotao patted the door in surprise. There was only a crack in the door, and the chain on the lock could be seen, but the room was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
"What's wrong?" Cui Minhao saw something was wrong and immediately turned back.
"The door was locked from the inside. When I went out, only Xiaoxiao was there. She was so drunk that she fell unconscious. Could something happen? Is there a thief? Or..." Han Xiaotao said,
I didn’t dare to say any more, for fear that I would sound like a crow’s mouth.
"Don't worry. Please call Xiaoxiao first." Cui Minhao comforted her by patting her on the shoulder.
Han Xiaotao took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and then dialed Tang Xiaoxiao's phone. The room immediately remembered Tang Xiaoxiao's cell phone ringtone. The phone initially had a busy tone, and it rang for a long time. Han Xiaotao thought she wouldn't answer.
, just as he was anxious, Tang Xiaoxiao’s lazy voice sounded from the other end.
"Hello? Who is it? It's so noisy in the middle of the night, why don't you let people sleep?"
"Hey, Xiaoxiao? Is that you Xiaoxiao?" Han Xiaotao asked quickly.
"Ah, who are you? You're so annoying. You're sleeping!" These Hedong lion roars rang out from the phone and the room, making Han Xiaotao completely sure that Tang Xiaoxiao was definitely a shrew who had been disturbed from her peaceful dream, or a shrew who had disturbed her peaceful dream.
It's better to avoid provoking as much as possible. She hung up the phone and said to Cui Minhao with a sad face: "This damn girl is drunk and has such a strong sense of self-protection. She actually locked the door and made me so angry. What do you want me to do tonight? Here.
She has spent all my money paying for the room..."
"Would you like to go back to the beach house with me?" Cui Minhao asked.
"No, Xiaoxiao drank so much. If I go far away, it won't be easy to take care of me if something happens later." Han Xiaotao said worriedly.
Cui Minhao pondered for a moment, grabbed Han Xiaotao's arm, and said: "Then there is no other way. We can only open a room next to it. You have been drinking too, and I will stay here to take care of you two female drunkards tonight. Really,
You obviously can’t drink, but you still imitate others’ drunkenness.”
"I didn't...am I not awake?" Han Xiaotao was dragged forward, not forgetting to defend herself.
Little did they know that Tang Xiaoxiao, who was listening to the conversation between the two people behind the door, was covering her mouth and snickering, and made an "ok" gesture to Su Zhiyu on the other end of the video phone. "I finally got it done this time. Throughout the night, even if I have any knots,
It's time to untie it and never come back to bother me again. Good night!" She said with a faint smile on her lips.
