"Speaking of which, when Yuanyuan mentioned you when chatting with me, she always talked about my uncle, but she never mentioned her parents. Are her parents divorced?" Xiao Shichu asked Li with some curiosity. Hao.
When Li Hao heard her question, a look of regret and nostalgia suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "No, her parents died in a plane crash when she was ten years old, so she could only live with me. My parents Because I was too sad and didn’t want to see things and miss people in China, I lived abroad all year round, but I was busy with work and had no time to spend with her. Speaking of which, as an uncle, I was too irresponsible."
Xiao Shichu said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't know your eldest brother and sister-in-law were no longer alive. I shouldn't have mentioned them."
"It doesn't matter. They have passed away for so many years. I can already accept this fact. But in front of Yuanyuan, it is best not to mention her parents. She still can't accept the fact that her parents have passed away. And because she often When people used this matter to mock her for not having parents, she became even more concerned about it, and her personality became more extreme and surly." Li Hao said with a sigh.
Xiao Shichu raised his eyebrows: "Extremely surly? Are you sure you are talking about your niece? I never thought she was extremely surly when I got along with her. Are you mistaken?"
When Li Hao heard her doubtful words, he immediately smiled and said, "It is precisely because she has never shown this when getting along with you that I want to ask you for tips on getting along with her."
Although he used this matter to get close to Xiao Shichu, it didn't mean that he didn't take it to heart. In his heart, asking for advice on getting along with his niece and getting close to Xiao Shichu were equally important.
"Really? I think she is no different from many ordinary girls of this age. She also loves to talk, laugh, and look beautiful. She also likes to share gossip with others. She has now started chasing stars with Wang Fang."
Li Hao suddenly smiled and his eyes brightened: "So when she gets along with you, she is different from her playmates. In front of you, she is more like an ordinary girl, lively and cute, but among her playmates, she should Not counting her playmates, but the peers who had to follow the adults because of their interactions. She was not so calm in front of them. Instead, she became like a hedgehog, with thorns all over her body... It was all changed by you. Got her."
Li Hao looked at Xiao Shichu with great gratitude and said, "She is very important to me. I don't want her to be immersed in those bad things. If she can't get out, she will never be happy. But you brought her out." , I’m very grateful for that.”
As he spoke, he took out a small box from his suit pocket and handed it to Xiao Shichu: "Although this small gift is not worth much, it is not as good as the happiness you bring Yuanyuan, but I shamelessly hope that You can accept it.”
Xiao Shichu's eyes widened in surprise. What's going on, giving gifts just because they don't agree with each other? Is this what wealthy people do? This is too generous.
However, Xiao Shichu did not intend to accept it. She shook her head and said, "Your niece and I are just in normal contact. How can I accept your gift casually? Your niece has gained happiness, and so have I. She and I have no arrears, and there is no need for you to thank me with gifts."
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Li Hao became a little anxious. He opened the jewelry box and revealed a sparkling diamond necklace that looked expensive at first sight. He said, "Although in your eyes, you and Yuanyuan are not procrastinating. No, but from my point of view, you really helped me, so I should give you a gift. Or are you saying you don’t like this gift? How about I get another one? "
"No, no, I really don't need it." Xiao Shichu just felt tired. This gift was worth a lot of money at first glance, so she couldn't accept it. However, Li Hao was determined to give her a gift and persuaded her again and again. He persuaded you with emotion and reason, and also used a tone of pleading. A handsome man begged you to accept his gift in such a low voice... This offensive was not something ordinary people could resist, so Xiao Shichu In the end, she had to accept the necklace, but she decided to give Li Yuanyuan a gift of similar value to the necklace later, so that she would not take advantage of Li Hao.
After Xiao Shichu agreed to accept the gift, Li Hao felt that he was getting closer to her, and he felt a little excited in his heart. The online guide for chasing people said that if the person you like accepts the gift from you, it means that Even if I don’t like you yet, I still have a good impression of you...
This made Li Hao very happy. He subconsciously ignored that the gift was given in the name of thanking Xiao Shichu for helping his niece, not as a suitor.
After the two chatted about Li Yuanyuan, Li Hao pretended to chat casually about other things, such as Xiao Shichu's past experience, his own history of nominal marriage, some things at work, and other things they could talk about in common. The topic allowed both parties to learn a lot about each other.
Li Hao was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Shichu was indeed the woman he fell in love with. She was well-informed and knowledgeable. Whether he talked about history, astronomy or financial stocks, Xiao Shichu could follow him. He also said It had to be organized, and it was obvious that he had real materials and was not trying to make things up, which made him appreciate Xiao Shichu even more.
He didn't know that this was the knowledge accumulated by Xiao Shichu after traveling through many worlds, but this knowledge was also part of Xiao Shichu, so it was normal for him to appreciate Xiao Shichu for this.
Xiao Shichu had a great time eating this meal. The red stew restaurant really lived up to its name and the cooking was top-notch. It had been a long time since Xiao Shichu had eaten such a dish that could be regarded as enjoyment. My impression was much better, and I felt that his handsome face was even more attractive.
The host and guest enjoyed the meal. Both Xiao Shichu and Li Hao felt that the date was very successful. Li Hao himself felt that his relationship with Xiao Shichu had made great progress because they became friends, and Xiao Shichu He also said that if there was a chance in the future, they could arrange to have dinner together at Hongzhou.
He didn't know that Xiao Shichu was speaking politely. Xiao Shichu really thought that he was a good parent who cared about his niece and put him in the position of an ordinary friend who could interact with him. Of course, this was more because of him. In return for treating her to a meal that she was very satisfied with.
It was a mistake, but after that, the relationship between Xiao Shichu and Li Hao gradually became familiar. When Li Yuanyuan was hanging out in Xiao Shichu's shop, Li Hao used to pick her up, and also came to visit her. I stayed in the store and took the opportunity to talk to Xiao Shichu.
Both uncle and nephew were very measured and would neither hinder Xiao Shichu's business nor make her feel troubled, so Xiao Shichu didn't mind their more and more frequent appearances.
