He Tiantian opened her eyes groggily this time and saw that it really was Grandma Lan talking to her. She quickly got up and rushed out without even changing her clothes.
"Hey, you haven't changed your clothes yet, and your hair is all messed up. Aren't you afraid your sweetheart will see you looking so disheveled?" Xianglan quickly stopped her, not wanting the young lady to go out like this; it would be too embarrassing.
He Tiantian scratched her head, chuckled, and said, "I'm dizzy, I'll change my clothes right away."
He Tiantian wore a white shirt underneath a khaki trench coat.
As for her long hair, He Tiantian tied it up high as usual.
The wind is very strong in Yanjing. If you don't tie it up, you'll look like a madman when you go outside in the wind.
I quickly washed my face, applied some moisturizer, and bit my pink lips with my teeth to make them even redder.
He Tiantian walked out with her bare face when Xianglan grabbed her arm and scolded, "Miss, why are you going out like this? You're so young, it's understandable that you don't wear makeup, but why don't you have any accessories? You're wasting such a beautiful face and so many nice pieces of jewelry!"
After saying that, Xianglan pulled He Tiantian away, preventing her from going out like that.
"No need," He Tiantian thought it was fine as it was. Her clothes were already different from those in China, and wearing jewelry and accessories would be too eye-catching.
At the same time, she was afraid that she would attract too much attention and change too much, and worried that Huo Yingjie would say something about her.
"Yes, definitely," Xianglan said. "A woman dresses up for the man she loves. You're going to see your fiancé, not some other friend. You must dress up nicely, preferably so that he'll be impressed."
After saying that, she took out He Tiantian's jewelry box, found a sparkly crystal hair tie, tied it at the base of He Tiantian's ponytail, and then took out two crystal hair clips to hold back the stray hairs on her head. She also put on lively star crystal earrings.
"Is this better?" He Tiantian looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she did look more refined than before.
Xianglan glanced at her and noticed that the young lady's trench coat was a bit too big; it turned out that she hadn't fastened the belt.
So she reached out and took the belt, tied it around He Tiantian's waist, revealing her slender waist and outlining her beautiful bust and lower body.
Finally, she took out a pair of white mid-heeled leather shoes from her suitcase and said, "Put these on too."
"If you're not going out, you don't need to change your shoes, right?" He Tiantian felt embarrassed; this was too obvious.
"A date!" Xianglan asked, puzzled. "You met, why aren't you going on a date? You... are you really lovers?"
“Yes!” He Tiantian nodded repeatedly. “I can wear it! This is China, not abroad. We have to be careful about our words, actions, and attire!”
He Tiantian changed her shoes and came out, more than ten minutes later.
Huo Yingjun had already witnessed He Tiantian's beauty in the United States, so he wasn't surprised.
Huo Yingjie turned his head and saw He Tiantian. He was immediately stunned. His sweet baby was so beautiful. He wished he could dress like that every day.
But then she thought that since her sweet baby was dressed like this, he couldn't see it, but other men could see it, which made her feel bad.
Huo Yingjie was glad that he was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, so he didn't look out of place standing in front of He Tiantian.
"Sweetie, you're so beautiful," Huo Yingjie complimented.
He Tiantian blushed, feeling a little shy under the gaze of so many people, and said softly, "Thank you. You... how come you're in Yanjing?"
"There are some things," Huo Yingjie said vaguely, adding that there were rules against saying them.
"Oh, then you..." He Tiantian had a thousand words to say, but she was too embarrassed to speak in front of her grandmother and the others.
What she really wanted to do was throw herself into Huo Yingjie's arms and kiss her long-missed lover passionately.
Bai Qiongyu came from a young age, and when lovers reunite, what they desire most is to spend time alone together.
"Alright, you can go out for a walk now." Bai Qiongyu was quite open-minded about love.
Huo Yingjie's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you, Grandmother!"
Under everyone's gaze, He Tiantian blushed and whispered, "Goodbye, Grandmother, Grandma Lan."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Huo Yingjie took He Tiantian's hand and left the room.
"Where...where are we going?" He Tiantian whispered, her palms burning hot.
Once out of everyone's sight, Huo Yingjie cupped He Tiantian's face, kissed her, and whispered, "I missed you so much."
"This is a corridor, watch your step," He Tiantian hissed. "Aren't you afraid someone will report you for inappropriate behavior?!"
"Do I have to explain to the whole world that I'm kissing my fiancée?" Huo Yingjie said. "Alright, it's windy outside, let's go sit in a coffee shop."
The hotel has a relaxing area like this, and there are quite a few foreigners there.
Nobody here recognized them, so Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian found a relatively secluded spot.
"By the way, Brother Yingjie, why didn't you say why you came to Yanjing?" He Tiantian asked. Their operation was a secret, and even with Huo Yingjun there, Huo Yingjie couldn't possibly know in advance.
Huo Yingjie felt a little lost at the thought of soon having to live a secluded research life.
"What's wrong?" He Tiantian asked. "Is there something I can't tell you?"
“I can’t tell anyone else, but what can’t I tell you?” Huo Yingjie said. “I’m going to be involved in a major project and I’ve received a transfer order from the Science and Technology Commission. I don’t know where I’ll be sent to work in a couple of days.”
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback, feeling a little disappointed. Even though she didn't have holidays during the regular season, there were still some holidays during the Chinese New Year, so they could eventually meet.
However, Huo Yingjie has to participate in important projects, so he may not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year.
"I'm sorry, Sweetie," Huo Yingjie said. "Can you wait for me for a few years?"
Seeing Huo Yingjie's pitiful and cautious appearance, He Tiantian placed her small hand on his large hand and said, "As long as you don't betray me, I will never betray you."
Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely remain chaste for you, with a pure heart, and will not betray either Buddha or you."
"Pfft!" He Tiantian chuckled. "What are you saying!"
Huo Yingjie said in a serious and righteous tone, "We have feelings for each other, our families approve, and now the only obstacles are time and distance. Mutual trust is the key to overcoming these two difficulties."
"Yes!" He Tiantian smiled, "Go ahead and rest assured, you are the one I love most, are you relieved now?"
“I used to be at ease, but now that you’ve seen the wonders of the outside world, I’m afraid the monotony here won’t keep you here.” This was Huo Yingjie’s biggest worry; he had regretted it more than once when they were at the research institute!
If his wife ran off with someone else, he would be in deep trouble, with nowhere to even cry.
"The scenery outside is beautiful, but you are unique." He Tiantian smiled. Huo Yingjie made her feel a little proud, but also a little heartbroken.
“You are unique in my heart,” Huo Yingjie said. “You are the only one in my eyes!”
