He Tiantian carefully prepared a gift, which was no ordinary gift, but a wedding gift for Cui Ying and Hua Shan.
These are a pair of couple's watches.
Although it's not the expensive kind with diamonds, it's very exquisite and elegant. The men's version is slightly larger, and the women's version is slightly smaller and more delicate.
This was bought by He Tiantian at the Overseas Chinese Store. The price wasn't expensive, but it was really good and would be a great gift.
Huo Yingjie saw that He Tiantian had put two watches in a small box with a ribbon tied around them, and asked, "Is this a wedding gift for Cui Ying and Hua Shan?"
“Yes!” He Tiantian nodded. “How is it?”
"Very good," Huo Yingjie said. "Isn't it too expensive?"
He Tiantian looked at it carefully again and said, "It's alright. This is what you and I bought at the Overseas Chinese Store. It's not expensive. Besides, it's a wedding, and we're not giving any money as a gift, so the gift can't be too cheap."
“Alright.” Huo Yingjie nodded. “You decide.”
In Huo Yingjie's heart, although he couldn't say he hated Cui Ying and those people from Huashan, he couldn't say he liked them either. After all, no one likes someone who constantly looks their yard up and down.
However, He Tiantian knew nothing about it.
Never mind, it's better if she doesn't know, lest she be frightened if she finds out.
Huo Yingjie also wanted to probe the other party's strengths and weaknesses and find out what the other party was thinking.
When the time came, He Tiantian handed the child over to Grandma Wang and then followed Huo Yingjie to Cui Ying's home in Huashan.
After graduating from university, they bought a nice courtyard house not far from the museum. Although it was not large, it was very complete and had quite a few rooms. They could move in immediately after buying some furniture.
When they reached the alley entrance, they happened to run into Qin Li and Yuan Chengcai.
"He Tiantian, what a coincidence! Are you going to Cui Ying's house too?" Qin Li said with a smile, very excited to see He Tiantian.
He Tiantian nodded: "Yes, we also went to Cui Ying's house. Seeing you all come together, it must mean that good things are coming soon."
This is Cui Ying and Hua Shan's belated wedding banquet. Qin Li brought Yuan Chengcai here, which must be because their relationship has been settled. Otherwise, given that Cui Ying and Yuan Chengcai's relationship is not very good, it would be impossible for her to invite Yuan Chengcai here.
Qin Li blushed, glanced at Yuan Chengcai beside her, and said, "We...we just got engaged last month."
"Oh, congratulations!" He Tiantian said with a smile. "When you get married, just let me know, and I'll come to your wedding."
"Sure, I'll definitely send the wedding invitations then," Yuan Cheng said with a smile. He Tiantian was still as beautiful as ever, but they just weren't meant to be. If he had met He Tiantian sooner, maybe they could have ended up together.
Huo Yingjie looked Yuan Cheng up and down, narrowing his eyes slightly. This man's eyes were still so untrustworthy.
I really want to dig it out and replace it with dog eyes.
Just then, Huang Jingli and Wu Youliang came over.
"Oh dear, why aren't you going in? Are you standing here waiting for me?" Huang Jingli said with a smile. She seemed to be doing well at work and at home, and she looked radiant.
He Tiantian covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Yes, we've all been waiting for you! If Squad Leader Huang and Squad Leader Wu don't come, we wouldn't dare to go in."
"Little Sweetie, I love hearing that," Huang Jingli said with a smile, linking her arm with He Tiantian's and pulling Qin Li forward, ignoring the bewildered expressions of the three men behind them.
After everyone left, Wu Youliang sighed softly, "What am I going to do with a wife who's completely out of touch with reality!"
Huo Yingjie glanced at Wu Youliang, who was showing off his affection, and chuckled, "Stop showing off. Everyone knows you married a good wife. Why are you saying the opposite of what you mean to show off in front of us?"
“Yes, Squad Leader Wu,” Yuan Cheng said. “Just keep your happiness to yourself. If you make it too obvious, that’s not fair.”
"Hehe!" Wu Youliang chuckled, "You guys figured it out!"
"We're not blind, how could we not see it, Squad Leader Wu?" Huo Yingjie said disdainfully. "Come on, they've already gone far away."
The three had no choice but to follow.
Upon entering the courtyard, Cui Ying was talking to He Tiantian, Huang Jingli, and Qin Li.
"Come, come, come inside and have a seat," Cui Ying said. "Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is my father, and that's my uncle. Father, Uncle, these are my classmates He Tiantian, Huang Jingli, and Qin Li. And behind them are their partners: Huo Yingjie, Wu Youliang, and Yuan Chengcai!"
Cui Yong looked at the group of people and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, it's my honor that you could take time out of your busy schedules to come. Please chat first, I'll go to the kitchen to check, there are still two dishes I haven't prepared!"
"Dad, you don't need to go. You and Brother Huashan can greet the guests in the courtyard," Cui Ying said with a smile. "Tian Tian, Jing Li, Qin Li, you can have some tea first, it'll be ready in a bit."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. We can take care of ourselves," He Tiantian said with a smile, telling Cui Ying to go ahead and do her work, and that she would come and help later.
Upon hearing this, Cui Yong invited everyone to sit down and have some tea.
Cui Yong unconsciously glanced at Huo Yingjie a few more times, but he dared not use his qi, so he could only rely on his eyes.
Huo Yingjie exuded an air of dignified composure in every gesture.
This kind of demeanor is not simply arrogance, but rather an aura of dominance hidden in one's actions.
To outsiders, Huo Yingjie was simply quiet, or arrogant and reserved.
But Cui Yong didn't think so.
Huo Yingjie looked up and glanced at Cui Yong.
For some reason, Cui Yong suddenly turned his eyes away, unable to look Huo Yingjie in the eye.
At this moment, Cui Yong was absolutely certain that this was definitely not an ordinary person, but a reclusive master.
However, according to information obtained from his apprentice and daughter, Huo Yingjie was just an ordinary person who did not cultivate or have any special abilities, but Huo Yingjie gave them an indescribable feeling.
Standing in front of Huo Yingjie felt like having one's inner thoughts peered into by him.
Very good, he has self-awareness and didn't use his meager divine sense to spy on him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to retaliate.
Hua Shan was somewhat worried, but seeing that Huo Yingjie did nothing unusual, he felt slightly relieved.
The master was all smiles, and everyone was getting along well. They said they would talk about everything after they got to know each other.
He Tiantian couldn't stay idle, so she went to the kitchen to help.
"Professor Cui, you can go out now, I'll help you," He Tiantian said with a smile. Since it wasn't appropriate to talk while sitting, she might as well come and help.
Huang Jingli and Qin Li also came over.
Seeing that several women had arrived, Cui Heng could only smile and say, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Cui Ying didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Uncle, they are all my classmates. We were chatting while we cooked. We felt a little uncomfortable with you here!"
"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer." Cui Heng smiled and walked out.
