Li Hao saw Xia Rui's stunned face, gently rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "Did you get scared?"

Xia Rui finally woke up from her dream, her cheeks slightly hot, as if she had been burned. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look Li Hao in the eye, and said softly, "Good night." After that, she quickly closed the door like a little rabbit.

Xia Rui leaned against the door, holding her pounding heart tightly with both hands. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which scared her so much that she almost jumped up.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Li Hao's gentle voice came from outside the door, "The flowers are at the door, remember to take them in, good night."

Xia Rui breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming through the peephole that it was Li Hao, she slowly opened the door, carefully picked up the heavy bouquet of roses, sniffed it gently, and the fragrance was overwhelming.

She smiled secretly in her heart, but a sweet blush appeared on her face. She gently stroked the petals, her heart full of sweetness. She couldn't wait to share this joy with Xia Ying, so she held the flowers and tiptoed to open Xia Ying's bedroom door.

She gently placed the flower on the bedside table, then turned on the table lamp. The soft light sprinkled on the petals, making them look even more delicate and beautiful. Xia Rui squeezed into Xia Ying's bed. Xia Ying was half asleep, squinting at Xia Rui, "Sister, what time is it? Why did you come to my room?"

Xia Rui smiled and shook her head, pointing to the flowers on the bedside table and said proudly, "Look, these are the flowers Li Hao gave me. Aren't they beautiful?"

Xia Ying squinted her eyes, looked at the flowers, and replied perfunctorily, "Beautiful, beautiful." After that, she fell down and continued to sleep.

Xia Rui smiled gently, lay down beside Xia Ying, and whispered, "We are together."

Xia Ying's eyes suddenly opened, as if she had been electrocuted, and she immediately became interested. She grabbed Xia Rui's arm and asked excitedly, "Really? Are you really together? Tell me, what's going on?"

Xia Rui told the story slowly and carefully, saying that Li Hao's confession was actually very simple. It did not have the romance built up by money, but it was very sincere.

Xia Ying listened with great interest.

After saying that, Xia Rui suddenly became serious and said to Xia Ying solemnly: "Remember, you can't tell anyone about this! Including your parents."

Xia Ying tutted her words and glared at Xia Rui in dissatisfaction: "I know, I am such a tactless person! Don't worry, I will definitely protect your love until it blossoms and bears fruit."

Xia Rui patted Xia Ying's shoulder with satisfaction, a happy smile on her face, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'm going to take a shower."

Xia Ying yawned and muttered, "Sister, you are a bit immoral. You woke me up just to say these two words." Although she complained, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

Xia Rui couldn't help laughing and explained, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited. You're the only one who can share my joy."

She lifted the quilt and stood up, tucked Xia Ying in, and said with a smile, "Good night, sweet dreams."

Then he turned off the desk lamp and took the roses back to his bedroom.

Xia Ying smiled and snuggled into the quilt, closing her eyes, feeling happy for her sister.

Beijing.

The merger and acquisition negotiations went very smoothly and the contract was signed that afternoon.

After the discussion, the other party invited them to have dinner together. Jiang Huaian and An Ran left in advance due to some matters, and were accompanied by Special Assistant Chen as their representative.

After returning home and changing clothes, Jiang Huainian hugged An Ran in his arms, "We're going home tomorrow. Where do you want to go? I'll go shopping with you."

An Ran was overjoyed, and she listed the places she wanted to go, such as eating authentic roast duck and shabu-shabu mutton, and watching the flag-raising ceremony...

"I'll go with you wherever you want to go." Jiang Huainian said this and leaned over to kiss her. An Ran dodged and pushed him away. She was still looking at the route carefully. In the end, she was pressed on the sofa. An Ran could only put down her phone and let him do whatever he wanted.

If his cell phone hadn't kept ringing and interrupted him, the only remaining cloth on An Ran's body would have fallen to the ground.

She urged him to answer the phone. Jiang Huainian kissed her while taking the phone with one hand. When he saw the incoming call, he sat up and answered it.

The call was from Cao Hong, who asked, "I heard you were in Beijing on a business trip. When will you be back?"

Jiang Huai Nian said, "The flight is at noon tomorrow."

Cao Hong said: "Come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll ask someone to prepare it. Remember to bring your girlfriend."

Jiang Huainian said: "Prepare some specialties from Beijing, and we will go there for dinner tonight."

Cao Hong smiled and said, "Okay, I will make sure everything is arranged for you. Grandpa and grandma are waiting for you at home."

After Jiang Huainian hung up the phone, An Ran frowned slightly, "Not going shopping?"

Jiang Huaian answered frankly, "Yes." Then he said innocently, "My aunt and uncle know that I brought my girlfriend to Beijing City, and they invited us to dinner. The elders asked, and I couldn't refuse. Will they take you to watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow?"

An Ran nodded slightly, "Okay, but wouldn't it be rude if we didn't prepare any gifts?"

Jiang Huai laughed and said, "Your going is the best gift."

An Ran didn't believe it and smiled, "While there is still some time, let's go buy some gifts. What do your aunt and uncle like? They are also businessmen? I don't think I heard that Mr. Jiang has a sister?"

Jiang Huaian said: "Well, my uncle's identity is quite special, so it is usually not mentioned."

An Ran asked: "Special identity?"

Jiang Huainian said: "Cao Yan."

An Ran frowned slightly. The name sounded so familiar. She had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

Just at this moment, the news was being broadcast on TV. Jiang Huai pointed lightly and said, "Look, didn't you see this?"

An Ran turned to look at the TV, froze for a moment, and took a deep breath, "Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Huainian smiled and said, "You'll know if it's a joke when you see it."

An Ran blinked and said with a look of resistance, "Can I not go?"

Jiang Huai Nian asked: "Why?"

An Ran said truthfully: "I'm a little scared."

Jiang Huaian laughed out loud, "He is very kind, and in private he is just like an ordinary elder. Don't be afraid."

An Ran looked like she was crying, "Do you really want to go?"

Jiang Huainian pulled her into his arms, tapped her forehead gently and said, "You will meet our relatives sooner or later. You are so outstanding, they will definitely like you very much. You don't have to be afraid of meeting grandpa, let alone meeting your aunt and uncle."

An Ran frowned and said, "Who said I wasn't scared when I saw your grandfather? I was scared to death."

Muttering: "If a small person like me meets them, I will be too nervous to speak. I am a coward..."

Jiang Huaian smiled and comforted him, "Don't be scared. Besides, don't you have me with you now?"

An Ran finally nodded: "Okay, but you have to promise me that if I accidentally say something wrong, you will help me smooth things over."
