half thorns, half joy

"Look for him to demonstrate, and tell him not to have illusions." Xiao Zihan said, then went to look through the bag Tang Xuan brought over, found the milk powder prepared for the baby, and while feeding the baby, he announced the pre-war declaration arrogantly.

Tang Xuan stared at the scene in front of her with dumbstruck eyes, she couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, even when Xiao Zihan feeds his baby with a bottle, he is very stylish, like that kind of European and American male model full of hormones, not only does not reduce his charm in the slightest, but looks more manly.

Tang Xuan stared at Xiao Zihan greedily for a while, then wiped away the drool that was about to flow out, and persuaded Xiao Zihan, "We don't have so much time to mess around, we have to go to the supermarket to buy things later."

"Yes, I know." Xiao Zihan turned his head to look at Tang Xuan, his attitude was very firm, "It won't be too long, let's go shopping after the demonstration."

"Pfft..." Tang Xuan smiled wryly, "You're serious."

Xiao Zihan hummed, expressing his seriousness.

The baby held the bottle and sucked the pacifier, eating very seriously, his big eyes flickering, and he made a grumbling sound.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan had an idea, and said, "If you go to his house, they will definitely want to hold the baby, are you willing?"

"..." Xiao Zihan frowned.

It's not that Xiao Zihan is such a fluff, if Aunt Liu and the others want to shake hands and hug Xiao Zihan, Xiao Zihan will not feel anything at all.

But babies are different after all.

Before that, the people in the villa, regardless of whether it was the nanny or Zhao Suizhi, had to wash their hands and disinfect their hands before holding the baby.

So this is not specifically aimed at Aunt Liu, it is a rule, and it is about caring for the baby.

The Xiao family is a big family, and the baby is the only child of the Xiao family, so of course he has to take good care of it.Originally, Xiao Zihan wanted to bring the nanny and nanny with him this trip home, but Tang Xuan didn't let the nanny and nanny come together because it was inconvenient for too many people to come.

After Tang Xuan saw that he had used his trump card, Xiao Zihan finally gave up his thoughts and heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the dumplings on the table and asked Xiao Zihan softly, "The dumplings are still hot. Do you want some dumplings?"

"I'm not hungry." Xiao Zihan replied without raising his head.

He has no appetite or interest in eating dumplings from his rival's house.

Tang Xuan wasn't hungry either, but that plate of dumplings was brought by Aunt Liu specially, which represented Aunt Liu's favor, and to Tang Xuan, it meant a little more.

"Then I'll eat a little. If I eat a little, we'll go to the supermarket. On the way back later, find a place to eat outside." Tang Xuan walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and ate it.

The dumplings are stuffed with pork and celery. It's not delicious, but it's not bad. It's a very homely and ordinary taste.

Xiao Zihan also walked over, pulled away the chair opposite Tang Xuan and sat down, stared at Tang Xuan who was eating the dumplings for a while, and then asked, "Are you not angry when she treats you so snobbishly?"

"Huh?" Tang Xuan looked at Xiao Zihan, chewed and swallowed the dumplings, thought for a while, then shook her head, "Don't be angry."

"Why? You can obviously be angry." Xiao Zihan's personality could be considered gentle, but when he thought about how Tang Xuan had been treated like this, he couldn't stop feeling sorry for Tang Xuan.

But what Xiao Zihan didn't expect was that Tang Xuan's answer was unusually calm.

"Because it's unnecessary." Tang Xuan smiled faintly, "Isn't it normal for people who just pass by? Besides, most people in this world worship high and trample low, and they are just one of them. molecules."

Xiao Zihan stopped asking questions and fell silent.

Rather than saying that Tang Xuan is kind and gentle, it is better to say that she is transparent.She sees through human nature, so she doesn't have any illusions that she shouldn't have, and of course she doesn't hold grudges or get angry.

It's just this transparency, which inevitably reveals a trace of indifference and indifference.

Pure and ruthless, this is Tang Xuan.

It is hard to imagine what kind of experience can make a person develop such a character, and it is even more difficult to imagine what kind of mind can make a person still beautiful and pure after walking through countless muds.

Xiao Zihan had never felt so lucky for a moment like this. He could fall in love with Tang Xuan and become someone Tang Xuan cared about.

How precious, how lucky.

"These dumplings are really big, I can't eat anymore." Tang Xuan pushed the plate aside, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and stood up, "Then let's go to the supermarket now, or it will be dark later. .”

Xiao Zihan nodded, "OK."

The two were worried about leaving the baby alone at home, so they wrapped the baby in a blanket, hugged the baby and went out together.

"Let's not drive, it's not far away, let's walk over."

"Row."

After leaving the gate of the building, as soon as she walked into the yard, Tang Xuan saw many people standing at the gate of the yard. She paused, exchanged glances with Xiao Zihan, and walked forward.

Sure enough, before Tang Xuan walked over, Aunt Liu excitedly rushed forward and grabbed Tang Xuan's arm, "Xuanxuan, where are you going?"

Tang Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "The two of us are going to the supermarket to do some shopping."

"Hey, Xuanxuan, you're back. I haven't seen you for several years. The longer you grow, the more beautiful you are."

"I really became a city man. Is this your partner? Your child? It's amazing, so handsome."

"..."

Tang Xuan listened to the congratulations from several neighbors, she always had a faint smile on her face, and nodded politely.

There is no doubt that Aunt Liu has already spread the news of her return.

In this small place, everyone's life is relatively ordinary. Tang Xuan's return with a handsome husband who is comparable to a celebrity male model and a cute child can be regarded as a major event.

Don't look at the fact that everyone usually criticizes the handsome guy on TV. When a real handsome guy stands in front of people, many people are afraid to step forward and make fun of him.

Handsome, in itself creates a sense of distance.

So, everyone turned their attention to Tang Xuan, exchanged warm greetings with Tang Xuan, and secretly glanced at Xiao Zihan from time to time.

There was no annoyance on Tang Xuan's face. Although she was not enthusiastic, her answering attitude was quite friendly and polite.

Because Xiao Zihan had just heard the story of Tang Xuan's past, it was difficult for him to have a good impression of these people in front of him. He stood quietly, silently looking at Tang Xuan who was surrounded by people.

Looking at the peaceful smile on Tang Xuan's face, he seemed to see that girl who was equally calm on the outside but very determined on the inside through the years.

"...Then let's go to the supermarket first. If we don't go back, it will be dark." Tang Xuan took the opportunity to say goodbye to the aunts with a smile.

"Ok, go, come to my house when it's over."

Tang Xuan took Xiao Zihan's arm, looked back and nodded as she walked, "Yes, good."

The two walked a long distance, Tang Xuan turned her head, and could still see the aunts standing in the alley at the gate of the yard, looking at her and Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan looked calm, and asked Tang Xuan expressionlessly, "Did I act too indifferent just now?"

"No, are you intimidated by our warm welcoming atmosphere?" Tang Xuan teased Xiao Zihan.

"Fortunately, I'm just not used to it." Xiao Zihan didn't want to make Tang Xuan unhappy, so he didn't tell the truth.

In fact, he was standing there just now, seeing the enthusiastic aunts, what he thought in his mind was, if Tang Xuan was still the same Tang Xuan who had nothing, then the reaction of these people to Tang Xuan's return would be completely different. .

I don't know why, but when he thought of this, Xiao Zihan became angry for no reason.

He has never hated this snobbish inferiority in human beings like he does today.

"Actually, I'm quite happy." Tang Xuan's face was full of smiles. "When I was young, I always thought that I have to live up to myself. It doesn't matter if others look down on me. I have to work hard. Sooner or later they have to look down on me. Seeing how they treat me now. Enthusiasm, suddenly there is a feeling of dream come true.”

Xiao Zihan: "..."

Why is Tang Xuan's brain circuit always different from his.

The point is, isn't this kind of thing usually said out loud and full of hostility? Why does Tang Xuan say it so happily and cutely?

Xiao Zihan couldn't help but look at Tang Xuan a few more times. After confirming that Tang Xuan was really happy, he suddenly had an interesting idea.

Since Tang Xuan was happy because of the compliments and enthusiasm from her parents, he wanted to make Tang Xuan happy.

No one is more qualified and financially capable of flaunting wealth and pretending to be aggressive than Xiao Zihan, the current president of the Xiao Group.
