half thorns, half joy

"Of course it is, otherwise you would think so." Hearing Xiao Zihan's voice, Tang Xuan felt inexplicably better. She looked around and walked towards the room with decoration materials at the entrance.

"Wait!" Xiao Zihan grabbed Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"Uh...it's still being worked on inside, you'll disturb the workers if you go in." Xiao Zihan said as he pulled Tang Xuan towards the balcony, "Let's take a look at what I've done and see how it goes."

Anyway, I hadn't seen it, everything was fresh, Tang Xuan didn't think much about it, followed Xiao Zihan to the balcony, and looked out of the balcony.

This floor is already high, the location is good, and the view is very wide. If you look over, you can have a panoramic view of half of the city.

Xiao Zihan pointed, "Look over there, you can't see it during the day, but at night, the street lamps and specially designed fountains will look like a Milky Way, which is very beautiful."

Just listening to Xiao Zihan's description, Tang Xuan found it very unbelievable, so she let out a wow.

"And there, then..." Xiao Zihan stopped suddenly, and said to Tang Xuan, "It's better to wait until it's all done, you can see for yourself, I originally planned to give you a surprise, but now that you're here, this surprise is also worth it. there is none left."

Tang Xuan thought to herself, she was afraid that she would not be able to wait for the day of surprise.

But Tang Xuan didn't show it. She shrugged and followed Xiao Zihan's words, "Okay then, don't tell me all about it yet. I'll see after I'm done. I'll live up to your wishes."

"Okay!" Xiao Zihan couldn't ask for more.

Tang Xuan went to see a few rooms that had been decorated. While she was looking, Xiao Zihan explained.

"I know you like to cook. I specially installed two kitchens, one suitable for Chinese style and the other suitable for Western style. I also bought two sets of kitchen utensils, both of which are top-notch, and they are guaranteed to be very easy to use."

"This is the study room. I haven't bought any books yet. Let me know what you want to buy when you're done. I'll buy it. There is a small balcony attached to the study room. I put rocking chairs and green plants. It's very comfortable to sit here and read a book."

……

Tang Xuan followed Xiao Zihan to a room with a small bed and the walls were painted pink, and looked at Xiao Zihan puzzled, "What... is this room for?"

Xiao Zihan raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

Tang Xuan walked inside, and when she saw the dolls on the bedside, desks, toys, and children's clothing suitable for children, she immediately understood.

Xiao Zihan walked over and hugged Tang Xuan from behind, and said softly against Tang Xuan's cheek, "This is our future baby's bedroom, do you like it?"

future... baby...

This was something Tang Xuan couldn't even imagine.

"Do you like it?" Xiao Zihan asked again.

Tang Xuan closed her eyes, suppressed her grief, and said with a smile, "I like it, but I'm such a fan, what should I do if it's a boy?"

"Boys can also use powder." Xiao Zihan said logically, "But I would rather be a daughter, as beautiful as you, as gentle as you."

"That's... pretty good."

After coming out of the future baby's bedroom, Tang Xuan didn't have the heart to go to other rooms anymore. She planned to engrave all these beautiful things firmly in her memory, and wait until one day she suddenly lost them. In the lonely days in the future, she could re- memories all over.

But when she saw these beauties with her own eyes, she realized that she could hardly bear it.

This is the home that Xiao Zihan built for her, the future home for the two of them, thinking that all these will disappear in the near future, she is so heartbroken that she can't breathe.

Xiao Zihan didn't know what Tang Xuan was thinking. He hadn't finished decorating the bedroom yet, and was worried what would happen if Tang Xuan insisted on looking at the bedroom. Seeing that Tang Xuan didn't mention it, he quickly changed the subject.

"Did you eat breakfast, are you hungry?"

Tang Xuan shook her head, "I didn't eat, but I'm not hungry, how about you?"

"I didn't eat either. I ordered takeaway. It should be here by now." Xiao Zihan glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Just now when you knocked on the door, I thought the takeaway was delivered. Why did you come here suddenly?"

Tang Xuan looked at the pink roses in the crystal vase, and explained with a smile, "I have nothing to do when I'm alone at home, so I just wanted to come and see you."

Xiao Zihan saw Tang Xuan's tired expression, thought Tang Xuan was hungry, so he grabbed his coat and said, "Let's go out to eat. There are several private restaurants downstairs, and they are said to be very good."

"Then your takeaway..."

"Just let the decoration workers eat the takeaway. Anyway, I didn't plan to eat much." Xiao Zihan put on his coat, went upstairs to give some instructions to the workers, and then pulled the roses out of the vase and stuffed them in In the wrapping paper, "Come on, let's go eat."

Tang Xuan looked at the flowers Xiao Zihan was holding in his arms in puzzlement, "What are you doing, aren't they all in a vase?"

Xiao Zihan was serious, "I can't see it in the vase, and besides, I don't plan to come over in the afternoon, so I put it there for someone to see."

Tang Xuan: "...Then you can't just hold her like this forever."

Xiao Zihan: "What's wrong with that? Let's go back to your place after dinner. I'll put it in the vase over there, so I can see it all the time."

Tang Xuan had no choice but to say, "It doesn't have to be like this."

Xiao Zihan smiled, "Of course it's useful. If you don't put it in front of our eyes, how can you remind me of your bold and enthusiastic confession to me?"

Tang Xuan: "..."

When she was bold and enthusiastic.

Since Xiao Zihan was a handsome guy and was still holding a pink rose, the two of them received a lot of attention whether they were on the road or in a restaurant.

Xiao Zihan didn't realize what he was supposed to do, but Tang Xuan was so embarrassed that she wished she could shrink into Xiao Zihan's arms just like Xiao Zihan was hugging her.

"Hey, that person is our company's Xiao Boss." Two Xiao employees who were also eating in a restaurant said looking at Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan's backs.

"Which one?" Another person looked around quickly.

"Just those two, the one holding the pink rose, wait a minute, look when you turn the corner." The woman said, holding up the phone, zooming in on the camera, and took a quick photo of Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan.

What Xiao Zihan wanted was a box on the second floor, and he wanted to turn around the hall and go upstairs. When he went up the stairs, he happened to show half of his face and was photographed.

Tang Xuan was shorter than Xiao Zihan, and she was worried about being stared at uncomfortably, so her entire face was captured.

After Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan went upstairs, the woman who took the photo put down her phone, and said to her colleagues pleasantly and gossipingly, "That woman is Mr. Xiao's secretary. Our company has been rumoring that Mr. Xiao is having an affair with his secretary. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

The man who heard this frowned slightly, "But I heard that Xiao Xiao always has a girlfriend, and he is very affectionate with his girlfriend."

"That's why! Cheating gossip! We still have evidence! Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao looks good on the outside, but he is actually a rich second generation who looks for a mistress to play with women."

The male employees are not as cynical as the female employees, and they are not so gossip. Hearing the evaluation of the female employees, he couldn't help saying: "You can't confirm this, maybe Mr. Xiao has broken up with his girlfriend, and he is just with his secretary now." Woolen cloth."

The female employee cut it disdainfully, "His female secretary has no origin and no background, and it is said that she is an orphan with both parents dead. No matter how much Mr. Xiao likes her, the Xiao family will not recognize her, at most she is just playing around." Just play."

The male employee couldn't speak to the female employee, and felt that the words were too full, but he was not eloquent and didn't know how to refute, so he sighed.

Originally, he owed this colleague a favor, but he was pestered out to eat, who knew that such a thing would happen.

I just hope it doesn't make a fuss.

The female employee was not as enlightened as the male employee, so she immediately sent the photos with the best angles to the sister group, and she said that she had captured the evidence of the tryst between Mr. Xiao and the secretary.

Immediately, the entire sister group was boiling.

The speed at which gossip spread was jaw-droppingly fast. Before Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan had finished their meal, photos of them cuddling together had already spread throughout the company's work groups.

Of course, except for the group where the two of them belonged.

The people in Tang Xuan's original office specially organized a group without Tang Xuan, where they had heated discussions.

Tang Xuan's original leader, Qin Feng, also immediately became the target of the crusade.

Employee [-]: Brother Qin, when Tang Xuan left, she said that she had a boyfriend, that's right, she also said that you knew about it.

Employee [-]: That's right, and you also told us that Xiao Xiao always has a girlfriend, right?
Employee [-]: Then explain to us, what's the matter with this photo, is it true that the two of them are together, and what about their original boyfriend and girlfriend?
Employee [-]: I suddenly began to wonder if it was not an accident that Tang Xuan was transferred to be Xiao Zihan's girlfriend, but the two of them got on good terms long ago.

Qin Feng stared at the mobile phone group for a while, and he said silently in his heart, Xiao Zihan, Xiao Zihan, I kept a secret for you, you were the ones who discovered it.

Although he knew the inside story, Qin Feng didn't intend to explain it, so he showed the majesty of a leader and warned his subordinates not to discuss this matter any more.

Qin Feng: You are not allowed to gossip about the leaders, let me see you say something again, and your monthly bonus will be deducted!

Staff one, two, three: ...

Of course they wouldn't do it knowingly, they quickly created another group, and this time not only did Tang Xuan not in the group, but also Qin Feng.

Although the photos and rumors spread everywhere, almost everyone in the company knew about it within a few hours, but Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan didn't know anything about it.

Tang Xuan didn't have any friends in the company, let alone any bosom friends. Those people were waiting to see her laugh at such unheard gossip, so how could they kindly remind her to tell her about it.

And Xiao Zihan, as the prince and future boss of the Xiao family, no one dared to send him such things.

If the prince gets angry, it's no joke.

Therefore, Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan spent the weekend peacefully and warmly. They didn't know about it until they went to work on Monday.

After all, Tang Xuan could still notice that everyone's eyes had changed from sneaky curiosity to sneaky contempt.

Especially when Tang Xuan accidentally bumped into a female colleague from another department, and heard another female colleague say something weird about you that you can't afford to offend.

Tang Xuan is so smart, she understood almost instantly that the people in the company should know about her relationship with Xiao Zihan, and also thought of something bad.

Monday mornings were always busy, Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan were so busy that they didn't have time to go out to eat, so Xiao Zihan told Tang Xuan to go to the cafeteria to pack two and bring them back to the office to eat.

Tang Xuan hesitated, but did not agree.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zihan was puzzled, "You don't want to eat in the cafeteria?"

"No..." Tang Xuan wasn't picky about food, she just didn't want to show up in the cafeteria at this time and accept everyone's criticism.

Xiao Zihan glanced at the report and saw that Tang Xuan was sitting still, so he got up and said, "Then I'll go buy it, take a look at the bidding document I just sent you, and change the place I marked out, and then send it Give me."

"Wait..." Before Tang Xuan could stop Xiao Zihan, Xiao Zihan had already opened the door of the office and left.

Tang Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
