Seeing Gao Xiaoxiao’s surprised expression, Old Madam Han covered her mouth and smiled smugly. “Xiaoxiao, how is it? My grandson-in-law looks pretty good, right?”

Gao Xiaoxiao did not know what to say.

Not only was he not bad-looking, but there was a time when he used that perfect, handsome face to easily charm the hearts of thousands of girls in her secondary school.

Zhong Yuhong said exasperatedly, “Mom, look at you. We haven’t met yet. Things barely even started…”

“Aren’t we meeting at noon? How can you say that things barely started? Besides, just from the photo, I think this young man is excellent. I heard from Xiaxia that he’s only 26 years old, but look at his aura…” The more Old Madam Han spoke, the happier she was. She was very satisfied with this future grandson-in-law.

Gao Xiaoxiao’s heart suddenly beat faster. “What did she mean?” she wondered. “Is he coming back with Han Minxia this afternoon? Does he have to be so cheesy…”

“Little Xiaoxiao, Little Xiaoxiao, Little Xiaoxiao…” Zhong Yuhong called out a few times.

“… Huh?” Gao Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and looked at her blankly.

“This child, what are you thinking about so intently?” Zhong Yuhong looked at her mischievously. “Don’t worry, Ah Zhen will definitely be back soon.”

Gao Xiaoxiao was speechless and could only smile stiffly.

Old Madam Han laughed too. She thought that Gao Xiaoxiao was shy and said, “Alright, alright. Yuhong, go and see if breakfast is ready.”

“Alright.” Zhong Yuhong stood up and left.

Old Madam Han closed the photo album and held Gao Xiaoxiao’s hand with both hands. She said softly, “Xiaoxiao, my youngest granddaughter is about to have a child now. When are you and Ah Zhen going to give me a great-grandchild?”

Gao Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. Not daring to look at the old woman’s expectant gaze, she lowered her head silently.

Old Madam Han looked at her ‘shy’ granddaughter-in-law and patted the back of her hand gently with her warm hand. She continued sincerely, “Grandma knows that you’re still young, but… Ah Zhen is already 29 years old this year. As the saying goes, a man should stand tall at 30. His dad is planning to entrust Han Tai Corporation to him next year, so Grandma hopes that you can work hard and make Ah Zhen a dad next year, alright?”

Gao Xiaoxiao sat there stiffly. The guilt in her heart was so heavy that she could hardly breathe. In addition, she would have to meet an old friend she had not seen for four years…

“Grandma, is there anything to drink?” A familiar deep voice gave her an out at the right time. Han Zhen was standing at the entrance, wearing dark gray sports shorts and a T-shirt. His handsome features, tall physique, and strong, slender legs were arresting.

She had to admit that Han Zhen was the kind of man who looked good in anything.

Seeing that her grandson was back, Old Madam Han stood up with a smile. Gao Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her knee and heaved a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, everyone got busy preparing to receive the new son-in-law. She returned to the bedroom on the pretext of changing her clothes.

After closing the door, she immediately called home.

It was almost 10:00 in the morning. Xiaobai would sleep at 9:00 pm and wake up at 7:00 am every day. His biological clock was very accurate. So she figured that at this moment… he should be playing with toys after breakfast.

As expected…

“Hello.” The little fellow’s lazy voice came through the receiver.

“Xiaobai, it’s Mommy,” Gao Xiaoxiao said with a gentle smile.

“Oh, good morning, mommy,” Xiaobai said with a loud yawn.

“Are you very tired? What time did you sleep last night?” Gao Xiaoxiao frowned. When she looked at the surveillance camera last night, Xiaobai was already in bed at 10 o’clock.

“I couldn’t sleep last night because I was waiting for you. Then the renovation next door woke me up this morning,” the little fellow complained in a childish voice.

“I’m sorry, Xiaobai. Last night… I was too busy, so I forgot to call you.” Gao Xiaoxiao’s heart ached. “Xiaobai, quickly, go back to sleep then. I’ll go home to accompany you in the afternoon, alright?”

“Mhm, I’ll wait for you at home. And… don’t do it again.” After receiving her assurance, the little fellow instantly regained his usual nonchalant and aloof tone.

Gao Xiaoxiao was speechless. “… Alright, I know I was wrong.”

After hanging up, Gao Xiaoxiao thought that she had to buy a mobile phone for Xiaobai. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to communicate with him.

But the most important thing now was to change and prepare herself. After all, Han Minxia would be bringing her boyfriend home soon.

Gao Xiaoxiao looked at the pink floral lace print dress in the closet. Her eyes behind the glasses were clear and resolute.

Ten minutes later, Gao Xiaoxiao walked downstairs slowly in a dress.

On the sofa, Han Zhen had changed into a white shirt and black pants and was looking at an iPad with his legs crossed.

After being nudged by Zhong Yuhong, he looked up at Gao Xiaoxiao and placed the iPad aside the next second. He clapped his hands a few times and whistled exaggeratedly.

Gao Xiaoxiao did not know what to say.

“Did he have to be so exaggerated?” she thought.

Auntie Lian happened to be bringing some tea over. Her eyes sparkled as she praised, “Young Madam is so beautiful.”

Gao Xiaoxiao had already walked down the stairs. She reached out to push her hair forward and smiled. “Thank you, Auntie Lian.”

Gao Xiaoxiao had purposefully worn her long hair down. With her black-framed glasses, her features were downplayed.

Old Madam Han and Zhong Yuhong smiled at her with satisfaction on their faces. However, Han Zhen suddenly stood up and rubbed his chin with his long index finger. He walked towards her slowly and said, “Well, if you don’t wear glasses…”

Gao Xiaoxiao quickly held her glasses and said to him with a warning look, “I have high myopia. I won’t be able to see without glasses.”

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows as if he could not be deterred. He suddenly reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear.

His action was swift and sudden. Gao Xiaoxiao felt something warm by her ear and a warm masculine scent assaulted her nose. Her face instantly felt flushed.

Han Zhen’s thin lips curled up as he looked at the little face before him. Her porcelain-white skin gradually turned pink. Slowly, her ears and neck seemed to turn red. The touch of his hair was soft and smooth, and his scent was unfamiliar. She was actually reluctant to let go of his hand…

At this moment, a servant’s voice sounded at the door. “Miss is back!”
