"Qiao, here's the breakfast I brought for you, eat it while it's hot!" After arriving at the company, Yun Hao placed the breakfast in front of Su Qiao!
"Thank you, Hao Gege!"
"Qiao, if there is a day, and I'm just saying if, you find that Hao Gege has changed and is no longer the same as the one you knew before, will you still talk to me?" Yun Hao asked cautiously while helping Su Qiao wipe the oil from her little mouth with a tissue.
"No matter what Hao Gege becomes, Qiao'er will never ignore Hao Gege!" Su Qiao giggled, her beautiful eyes curving into playful crescents, looking extremely cute!
The morning passed quickly, and by noon, Yun Hao was at Zhao Shishi's office, and Zhao Shishi was already packed and waiting for him.
"Shishi, isn't your annual salary now at least several hundred thousand? This car you're driving doesn't match your status!" As they arrived at the parking lot, Yun Hao dramatically exclaimed while looking at the car that cost less than a hundred thousand.
"Don't call me that, it's gross!" Zhao Shishi glared at Yun Hao, refusing to answer his question and correcting his way of addressing her instead.
"I'm just practicing in advance, right? You wouldn't want me to call you Manager Zhao when meeting your parents, would you? Of course, if you don't mind, then I won't mind either!"
"Remember, when we get to my place, don't mention my dad. They've been divorced for about fifteen or sixteen years now, and I've been living with my mom. Just keep quiet if you can!" Although she believed Yun Hao's explanation was a lame excuse, it somehow made sense upon closer thought. Hence, Zhao Shishi let it go, figuring being called Shishi wouldn't harm her.
As they were about to leave Nanjiang City, Yun Hao asked Zhao Shishi to stop the car and then went into a large supermarket. When he came out, he had many supplements and gift boxes in hand!
"I'll reimburse you when we get back!" Zhao Shishi felt a bit touched, even though Yun Hao usually behaved poorly, he knew to bring presents for her mom!
After a brief argument with Yun Hao, Zhao Shishi simply decided to ignore him. She realized that she couldn't win against Yun Hao, especially on shameless topics, where she always ended up on the losing side!
Zhao Shishi's hometown was in a small county under Nanjiang City. By the time they arrived, the sun had already set.
"You're driving so slow, anyone would think it's an ox-cart!" Yun Hao teased helplessly, as the car speed never exceeded fifty throughout the journey!
"Stop whining. You drive then, who asked you to be without a license!" Zhao Shishi glared fiercely at Yun Hao. She was nearly driven mad by him on this trip and couldn't understand how a grown man could be so nagging!
"But I'm hungry! I only ate in the morning, no lunch, and you brought me along!" Yun Hao complained, his eyes tearfully looking at Zhao Shishi.
"I didn't have lunch either, okay? Besides, skipping one meal won't kill you!"
"Sure, it won't kill me, but I'm still hungry. Touch and see if you don't believe me, my stomach's flat!" As he said this, Yun Hao grabbed Zhao Shishi's little hand and placed it on his stomach!
"Stop taking advantage of me, you'll have food at home. My mom definitely has dinner prepared for us!" Zhao Shishi withdrew her little hand angrily and immediately turned the car into a small alley ahead.
"Could you not touch me?" After getting out of the car, Zhao Shishi complained as Yun Hao held a bag in one hand and held her hand with the other.
"Are you stupid? I'm doing this for your sake! If our mom sees us and senses no warmth between us, then all efforts will be wasted!" Yun Hao posed as if he was doing it all for her good!
Poor Zhao Shishi knew Yun Hao was just taking advantage, yet she had no way to refute his reasoning!
"Mom, I'm back!" Eventually, Zhao Shishi decided to ignore Yun Hao holding her hand, just treating it like being touched by a dog. Yes, that's what she thought, although who knows what Yun Hao would think if he knew!
"Shishi's back, huh, and who is this? Introduce us!" A middle-aged woman with a kind face, although she had lost her youthful beauty, you could still see she must have been a beauty when young, came out of the room, smiling broadly at Yun Hao!
"Auntie, I'm Shishi's boyfriend, my name is Yun Hao!" Although Yun Hao grew up abroad, he understood basic manners. After all, knowing manners and etiquette are the simplest rules of being a person!
"Come in and have a seat, I've prepared dinner, wash your hands, and you can eat!" Zhao Shishi's mom smiled as she welcomed them in, asking Zhao Shishi to entertain Yun Hao while she went back into the kitchen.
Seizing this moment, Yun Hao took a quick look around the room, noticing the furniture and furnishings were a bit old, likely not changed in many years. Also, the house was a small courtyard in a small town. You should know that in such towns, such bungalows aren't valuable, unlike the courtyard houses in Beijing which are incomparable!
Strange, with Zhao Shishi's salary, the two should be living well!
"Auntie, your cooking is amazing!" At the dinner table, Yun Hao praised enthusiastically while eating heartily.
"Eat more if you like it. When you and Shishi get married, whenever you feel like eating, I'll come over to cook for you!" Hearing Yun Hao's compliments, Zhao Shishi's mom was delighted, continuously serving Yun Hao more food with her chopsticks!
"Xiao Yun, what do you do now? Anyone else in your family?"
"I'm currently serving as Shishi's assistant. There's a younger sister and an elder sister who lives abroad!"
"Oh, have you considered when to get married? Even though you're twenty-two, our Shishi is already twenty-three, older than you by a year. You should think about marriage!"
"Auntie, I mostly listen to Shishi about that. Whenever she says to get married, we'll do it then!"
"Marry soon, while I can still move around. When you have kids, I can help take care of them!"
