Li Ao stared at the girl's fair skin with greed. When Han Miao sat down sideways, he looked away like a guilty thief. Li Ao walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water.
Li Ao drank some water and walked to the bedside. He saw Han Miao had taken off her shoes and was sitting cross-legged on the large white bed counting money. In front of her left foot was a stack of RMB, each stack of 5,000 RMB.
She was very skilled at counting money. Li Ao only saw the money moving between her fingers and heard her counting like chanting: "32, 33, 34..."
Han Miao was so happy counting the money that she forgot everything. It wasn't until a kiss landed gently on her shoulder that the sound of her counting stopped abruptly.
Li Ao buried his head in her neck and kissed her. His soft black hair rubbed against her jaw and ears, which was a little itchy. Han Miao didn't dare to move. She sat there stiffly, with goose bumps all over her body.
Li Ao hugged Han Miao's waist and tightened his arms with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to embed her whole body in his arms.
Han Miao finally spoke, stammering. She asked Li Ao, "What are you doing?"
Li Ao really couldn't help himself.
After five or six seconds, Li Ao reluctantly left her shoulder. He placed his chin on Han Miao's shoulder and whispered in Han Miao's ear, "Today is my 18th birthday."
Han Miao's mind suddenly twitched, and he asked, "So you plan to officially become a man today?"
Li Ao had wanted to be a man for a long time, but he couldn't do anything rash just yet. He shook his head, rubbing his chin on Han Miao's shoulder, and said in a coquettish tone, "You're so beautiful, I couldn't help myself."
Han Miao loved being praised for her beauty. She pushed Li Ao's cheek away with her palm and said generously, "I'm beautiful, so I understand why you can't help yourself."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Ao's face.
You little fool, you're so easy to fool.
Because of this kiss, Han Miao was no longer interested in counting money.
Han Miao took out a small gift box from her bag and handed it to Li Ao. She said, "This is my pocket money that I've been saving for a while. I used all the New Year's money I've earned since I was a child to buy you this birthday present. Happy Coming of Age Day, Neil."
Han Miao’s ten years of New Year’s money is not a small amount.
Li Ao opened the gift box in surprise and found that it was a gold double-dial minute repeater chronograph pocket watch. There was a blue starry sky hidden inside the dial. It was obviously a top-notch collectible.
This is the most expensive birthday gift Li Ao has ever received.
He felt his palms heavy for a moment and hesitated whether he should accept the gift.
"This is too expensive." Li Ao asked Han Miao, "How much did you buy it for?"
Han Miao said: "More than 20 million."
Li Ao hesitated for a long time before accepting the watch. "Thank you, I like it very much and will carry it with me every day." After saying that, Li Ao suddenly opened his wallet and handed his savings card to Han Miao.
Han Miao blinked, not knowing what he was going to do. "Are you going to pay me back?" Han Miao's face turned a little ugly.
Li Ao shook his head and explained, "I have become an adult today and have the right to dispose of every penny of my property. I will give all my property to you for safekeeping." After a pause, he added, "As my fiancée, you have this right."
The news of her fiancée status hit Han Miao hard. She was so dizzy that she forgot to throw away the card. She asked in surprise, "When did I become your fiancée?"
A hint of smile appeared in Li Ao's gloomy eyes. "Now."
He held the pocket watch tightly in his left hand, took Han Miao's left hand with his right hand, and pulled her out of the room, into the elevator, and into the banquet hall.
