The anger Xi Huan had suppressed with great difficulty was about to burst out again.
She secretly took several deep breaths, then put on a smile again on her face: "Xiaoxing, why are you out here dressed so plainly? Today is New Year's Day, we should be more festive. If you are seen like this, people outside will feel uncomfortable."
As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
In the past, Xi Huan had always subtly criticized Shen Xiaoxing's appearance. The reason Shen Xiaoxing wore heavy makeup at such a young age was largely because Xi Huan constantly brainwashed her, saying she wasn't good-looking and that everyone else liked to dress up seductively... Then, in a tone that was as good as her own, she'd criticize Shen Xiaoxing from head to toe, saying she didn't know how to dress or put on makeup...
This will make people laugh...
And so on.
After listening for a long time, Shen Xiaoxing naturally started to take it to heart, and then he did as Xi Huan said and put on makeup, heavy makeup.
Thinking about it now, Shen Xiaoxing felt that she was really stupid. She did whatever others said. No wonder she was used as a pawn by this woman in the past.
He is hated by everyone and doesn't even realize it.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoxing raised a sarcastic smile. She just looked at Xi Huan quietly, wondering how she would use her next.
Sure enough, after a few words, there was no response.
Xi Huan looked around, then approached Shen Xiaoxing: "Xiaoxing, I discovered something, and I'm telling you, you must never tell anyone."
Something flashed in Shen Xiaoxing's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Then Xi Huan added some extra details and performed his own performance.
Xia Yunxi and Li Hanting walked down the stairs. They had originally planned to look for Li Jinchen and Xia Yu'an together.
But who knew that the man in front of her suddenly turned around, and instead of leaving, he stood in front of her, smiling and saying, "Our son, are you agreeing to this?"
Xia Yunxi rolled her eyes. She almost secretly admired her own quick reaction. She understood the meaning of the man's words without any explanation.
"I didn't say that."
"Oh, so you just slurred your words?"
Xia Yunxi was simply stunned. He actually had such a side to him. He teased her with a tone that was tinged with Northeastern accents... However, he was obviously the kind of person who was aloof and approachable, and did things in a methodical manner, not allowing any mistakes. He had a radiant aura and was the embodiment of all the words that describe a male god.
There is such a side behind the scenes!
Xia Yunxi didn't know how to react. She froze for a long time before she uttered, "You, how can you swear?"
Li Hanting laughed softly, as if he was amused by her cute look. The man put his arms around her neck, not caring about his image, and walked down with her in his arms.
Xia Yunxi hesitated and asked him to let go, but the man was unmoved.
"That's not a dirty word, it's more of a cheesy love talk." Li Hanting said.
Xia Yunxi's face turned red, as if she had been stained with fine rouge, not knowing whether it was because of his action or because it touched her heart.
If the conditions allowed, Li Hanting would really want to push the person against the door and kiss her hard.
A big pot was set up in the yard outside.
After returning last night, the innkeeper and the villagers lit a fire and cooked a pig.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is forbidden to kill or shed blood.
So we got everything done overnight last night.
The meat in the pot has been simmered overnight, and the aroma is so fragrant that it can easily arouse people's appetite.
The two little guys squatted beside the fire under the big pot, looking at the fire burning inside, muttering to themselves, and no one knew what they were saying.
But Xia Yuan swallowed his saliva, and Xia Yunxi saw it.
It was because of what I saw that I felt a little amused and helpless. Last night, the two little guys were too excited and didn’t eat many dumplings. It was expected that they were hungry now.
Xia Yunxi shook off Li Hanting's hand that was holding her and walked towards the two little guys.
Aunt Lin was in the kitchen with the boss's wife, preparing the first meal of the New Year.
So there were several bodyguards standing around the two children to guard them.
To be honest, after being out for so long, the housekeeper has never made Xia Yunxi worry about the child's safety.
He always arranges things very well, so his parents don't have to worry about anything or do anything, and they don't have to worry about anything at all.
On the first day of the new year, thousands of kilometers away from home, a group of strangers got together, talking and laughing, it was so lively.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Xia Yunxi feels that she likes this kind of comfortable relaxation. She doesn't think about the messy things before the New Year and is still very happy.
The innkeeper put the tables in the hall side by side to form a large rectangular table.
Then place the prepared delicacies on top one by one.
Everyone who was staying in the inn came out, sitting together at a table, two people to a table, chatting and laughing. Even eating seemed like fun.
The wild boar that Li Hanting and his team hunted last night, as well as the hibernating snake, were also made into snake soup and served.
No matter what others thought, the two little guys had big appetites and ate with relish.
At the end of the meal, everyone left their original seats.
As they toasted each other, there was no vested interest involved, so they talked and laughed happily, and the emotions were purest.
It wasn't until a figure sat down next to her that Xia Yunxi reacted. She turned around and was surprised to see that it was Shen Xiaoxing.
Xia Yunxi didn't put down her chopsticks and looked at her with a puzzled look.
I have to say that after removing her heavy makeup, this girl looks quite pretty and should not be very old. Without the exaggerated dress, she looks much softer.
"You look so good like this. You're so young, but don't put on such old-fashioned makeup. It doesn't suit you at all." Xia Yunxi said sincerely.
"Thank you." Shen Xiaoxing was surprised to find himself thanking her.
Xia Yunxi looked at her several times. Was this girl suffering from a fever? Or had her personality changed after removing her makeup?
"The pork is delicious." Shen Xiaoxing said.
"Yeah." Xia Yunxi nodded in agreement. After all, it was wild game, and he had hunted it himself. It was very fresh and safe to eat.
In fact, although living in the city makes many things convenient, wild game like this is not common.
"Have you tasted the snake soup?" Shen Xiaoxing asked again.
Xia Yunxi put down her chopsticks immediately. She took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. Then she looked up and looked at Shen Xiaoxing calmly: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
A smile appeared on Shen Xiaoxing's face, a very calm smile without any meaning.
Xia Yunxi raised her eyebrows. Ever since she met Shen Xiaoxing, she has always been aggressive. Even Aunt Lin was irritated by her.
