half thorns, half joy

"Your father agreed?" Tang Xuan couldn't believe it.

Xiao Zihan nodded, "I feel that I told him about our matter just now. Although he was still lukewarm, he didn't say anything against it. Besides, he can't disagree now. I said it in front of so many people, so I can't let my words be ashamed."

Tang Xuan was still skeptical, but what Xiao Zihan said made sense. As a future successor of a company, going back on his word must be a stain.

If Xiao Mingyuan thought about Xiao Zihan sincerely, he would definitely think of this.

"Okay, don't worry, my dad will go home for dinner tonight, and I will ask my mom to say something nice in front of him, and it will definitely be done."

"Well, that's good." Tang Xuan lowered her head, but her heart was still full of doubts.

In the evening, Xiao Mingyuan returned home.

Zhao Suizhi thoughtfully helped Xiao Mingyuan take off his coat, and said softly, "The meal is ready, do you want to eat now or later?"

"Eat now, you will have to work hard when it gets cold." Xiao Mingyuan rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt, and walked to the dining table with Zhao Suizhi.

Sure enough, as Xiao Zihan said, the table was full of dishes.

"You did all of this?" Xiao Mingyuan couldn't help asking when he thought of what Xiao Zihan said in the office this afternoon.

Zhao Suizhi nodded, "That's right, anyway, I'm alone at home and I don't have anything to do, so I found something to do. I also made crucian carp soup that you like to drink. I'll serve a bowl for you to try?"

Crucian carp soup was Zhao Suizhi's favorite soup when he was pregnant with Xiao Zihan. At that time, there was no one outside Xiao Mingyuan, and the relationship between the two was still very sweet. Xiao Mingyuan, who doesn't like cooking, would often help Zhao Sui do it.

Xiao Zihan had grown up in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Mingyuan never made crucian carp soup for Zhao Suizhi again.

Even, the number of times I come to eat at home is not much.

After all, it was a woman he loved, and Xiao Mingyuan's heart was a little touched by reminiscing about the past in such a calm manner.

He took the soup bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

"Is it good?" Zhao Suizhi asked.

Xiao Mingyuan nodded, "Well, very good."

"That's good, come and eat." Zhao Suizhi didn't bring up other topics, and took the initiative to pick up food for Xiao Mingyuan, with a genuine smile on his face.

Xiao Mingyuan also brought food for Zhao Suizhi, and the two of them had a very warm meal.

After eating, the nanny cleaned up and went to wash the dishes. Xiao Mingyuan and Zhao Suizhi sat on the sofa, chatting with each other while holding tea.

Xiao Mingyuan told Zhao Suizhi about Xiao Zihan announcing Tang Xuan as his fiancée in the company.

Zhao Suizhi actually had a phone call with Xiao Zihan before Xiao Mingyuan came home, but after hearing what Xiao Mingyuan said, she still deliberately showed surprise, as if she didn't know about it.

"This kid is too reckless. If he breaks up with Tang Xuan in the future, it will be a joke." Zhao Suizhi shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Mingyuan looked at Zhao Sui in surprise, and said, "I thought you were going to speak up for him, but you supported him and that Tang Xuan, why did you change your attitude today?"

Zhao Suizhi took a sip of tea and said softly: "I'm not supporting them, I just hope Xiaohan can be happy. He has been protected by us since he was a child, and he has never experienced anything bad. Now we can find someone who likes each other. The people are also very good."

"Really? But that Tang Xuan, I don't like it very much." Xiao Mingyuan frowned.

Zhao Suizhi smiled, "It's Xiaohan who spends his life with others, not you. Xiaohan likes it."

When it comes to the three words "a lifetime", Zhao Suizhi looks weary, "Besides, it may not be possible to live a lifetime, just like as long as you can."

This tone is related to her own experience.

When I was young, I said that I would love for a lifetime, and that I would grow old forever, but with such a long life, who knows when people's hearts will change.

Of course Xiao Mingyuan could hear Zhao Suizhi's implication, he coughed lightly, and said in displeasure: "Don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, talk well."

Zhao Suizhi lowered his eyes, his heart felt cold, Xiao Mingyuan became more and more impatient with her.That's right, she is old now, no matter how well maintained she is, she can't compare to those 20-year-old girls outside. The only thing she can compare to is her stability and upbringing.

Seeing Zhao Suizhi's distress, Xiao Mingyuan knew that his tone was harsh, so he softened his voice again and asked, "Now that Xiaohan has let the words out, breaking her up abruptly will not only make Xiaohan hate me, but also damage his image. In this way, do I have to accept this girl I don't like as my daughter-in-law?"

Zhao Suizhi heard that Xiao Mingyuan was discussing Xiao Zihan's life again, so he immediately put aside his own concerns and started planning for his son.

"Don't take this matter too seriously. Xiaohan has loved and respected you all these years. There's no need for you to freeze up your relationship with him because of Tang Xuan. Actually, I think this Tang Xuan is quite suitable for us, Xiaohan."

Xiao Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, "How to say?"

Zhao Suizhi said slowly: "Think about it, our Xiao Han is so kind-hearted, if he meets a young lady from another family, he will be eaten to death, maybe he will make use of Xiao Han. No matter how much Tang Xuan Great, she is also an orphan, even if she has some bad intentions, what can she do?"

Xiao Mingyuan pursed his lips and remained silent.

In fact, he has always considered this point, which is why he has allowed Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan to be together.

Orphans without any background are completely manageable.

Seeing that Xiao Mingyuan was shaken, Zhao Suizhi tried to persuade him from another angle: "Besides, don't look at Xiaohan making such a fuss now, maybe when will he lose interest in Tang Xuan? How about not the same?"

What Xiao Mingyuan said was to his liking, so he hummed in agreement.

Indeed, if a daughter from another family marries in, although it may help the Xiao family, it is also a threat.

"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is first, and remind him that although I agree, if he dares to mess around again, don't blame me for being rude." Xiao Mingyuan said, standing up.

Zhao Suizhi responded, and when Xiao Mingyuan asked the nanny to get the coat, she said disappointedly, "You...you still have to go out."

Xiao Mingyuan put on his coat, raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Well, there are still some things to deal with."

Zhao Suizhi stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Mingyuan's arm, with a begging tone, "It's so late, what else can you do, let's deal with it tomorrow, or... you can deal with it in the study."

Xiao Mingyuan remained silent, and looked at Zhao Suizhi quietly.

After a long time, Zhao Suizhi finally let go and lowered his head, "Okay then, go get busy."

"Well, go to bed early, don't think about it." Xiao Mingyuan didn't miss it at all, and left the Xiao residence after a perfunctory reminder.

Looking at the back of her husband leaving, Zhao Suizhi felt despair welling up in her eyes.

Is she going to live in such a lonely way for the rest of her life?

……

After Xiao Mingyuan agreed with Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan, Xiao Zihan's heart settled down.He began to seriously prepare for his wedding with Tang Xuan.

And Tang Xuan also embraced the fact that every day is a day, and spent every day as if it was the last with the greatest enthusiasm.

It was a coincidence that both of them experienced what is called incomparable happiness.

Xiao Zihan picked a holiday and took Tang Xuan to Bali to take wedding photos. After the wedding photos were taken, he went to Paris to order the ring.

Since Xiao Zihan couldn't wait too long, he was in a hurry, and the master made it himself, so the price was ridiculously expensive, more expensive than those stars in the news, which can be described as expensive.

The initials of Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan's names are engraved on the inside of the ring, symbolizing their unswerving love.

Happy days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the wedding is approaching.

Tang Xuan's former best friend, Huang Tingting, went to another city with her squad leader. She didn't have many friends around her, so there was no congratulations for her.

There was Zheng Yifan, but Xiao Zihan refused to contact him.

So many things that could have been cheered by the girls together, Tang Xuan felt a little lonely by herself.

Sometimes, she even misses when Huang Tingting was around.

However, Cai Jinyu found another girlfriend. He likes to mix in, so he always shows up with his girlfriend. It looks like he has let go of the past, but it is much more lively.

On this day, Tang Xuan and her party went to a bridal shop to try on wedding dresses.

The wedding dresses were all flown in from Paris, and Xiao Zihan spent a lot of time choosing them specially for Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan didn't want Xiao Zihan to be so troublesome, but Xiao Zihan was very happy doing these things by himself. He didn't think it was troublesome at all, but he was quite happy. Tang Xuan could only let him go.

"This feeling is different." Cai Jinyu held a glass of champagne, sat side by side with Xiao Zihan on the sofa in the bridal shop, and said with emotion.

Xiao Zihan was in a happy mood, and even the sarcasm of Cai Jinyu became much more pleasant, "If you are envious, hurry up and get married."

Cai Jinyu laughed, "Married? Who am I going to marry?"

Xiao Zihan said happily: "Get married with someone you like."

"Then I'd better not get married, I will never find someone I like in this life." Cai Jinyu raised her head and drank the champagne in a sip, then turned to look at Xiao Zihan, "Doesn't everyone say that getting married is the most troublesome and difficult thing in this world? Well, why do I feel that you are so happy, as if you have been drugged."

Xiao Zihan said decisively: "People who say such things must not love the person he wants to marry."

Cai Jinyu rolled her eyes, "Yes, yes, here we go again, who doesn't know that you like Tang Xuan, you are in love with each other, what are you showing off?"

Xiao Zihan was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Cai Jinyu, he just waited for Tang Xuan to appear with his heart racing.

Seven or eight minutes later, the curtain in front of Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu was lifted, and Tang Xuan walked out, dragging her long wedding dress.

Xiao Zihan's eyes straightened instantly.

Even Cai Jinyu, who was planning to criticize, was dumbfounded.

I saw Tang Xuan's dark long hair pulled up high and coiled into a romantic French flower petal shape. The close-fitting fabric outlines Tang Xuan's figure into a perfect S-shape, and her lower body is designed into a fishtail skirt. Diamonds shining with dazzling brilliance are dotted in it, which is perfect like a handicraft.

Xiao Zihan couldn't help standing up, and walked towards Tang Xuan.

Although Tang Xuan liked this wedding dress very much, she was somewhat embarrassed and asked Xiao Zihan shyly, "What do you think?"

Countless words to describe beauty flashed through Xiao Zihan's mind, but when they were used on Tang Xuan, at this moment, she felt that none of them were enough to describe Tang Xuan's beauty.

Xiao Zihan discarded those words, leaned over Tang Xuan's ear, and said softly, "I can't wait to marry you."
