Chapter 56 I am your aunt

“Is there any place you want to go during the Chinese New Year?”

The man suddenly asked this in the darkness. Hatsushimo raised her head in his arms, but could not see anything.

"We have to go back to Guiyun to see Grandpa."

"I know."

Sheng Ting's voice was as mellow and tender as a bedtime chat, and he moved his lips slowly: "We're going to Guiyun for New Year's Eve. Didn't we have a honeymoon? Do you want to go to the sea together during the New Year's holiday?"

Hatsushimo curled her lips and said, "Okay, I like the sea."

"You are so afraid of the cold, you need to go somewhere warm."

The man thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Hainan. It's warm there."

"good!"

The trip to see the sea was decided. Hatsushimo was already imagining going to the beach, wearing a pretty little skirt to watch the sunset, and riding an electric bike along the coastal highway to enjoy the evening breeze.

Then she will start looking at beautiful dresses. It takes time to choose a satisfactory dress, but it takes time and effort to choose.

It's still very hot there, so you have to take good sun protection measures, and plan your travel route and food, accommodation and transportation in advance.

When I think about it this way, there are so many things.

Chu Shuang had a lot of things in her mind, and she fell asleep while thinking.

Everyone felt that Sheng Ting’s birthday should not be celebrated at home, so after unanimous discussion, Mr. Sheng booked a luxury restaurant.

After get off work, Chu Shuang went home to change clothes. She was dazzled by the selection and confusion. When she was confused, she thought of the cheongsam that Sheng Yao had given her.

I remember that Sheng Ting seemed to like that dress quite a lot.

After changing into the cheongsam, she took out the set of jade jewelry that Sheng Ting had given her when he returned from his last business trip.

She tied her hair into a neat bun with a hairpin, and put on earrings, necklace and bracelets one by one. Together with the cheongsam in the same green color, it made her round, smooth, bright and elegant.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Chu Shuang was slightly stunned.

I shouldn't dress too much, right?

Forget it, there’s no time to waste, so I took the Go set that I bought at the auction and went downstairs.

Aunt Yuan was fiddling with the delicate flowers in the vase when she saw a graceful figure coming down the spiral staircase and her eyes froze.

Compared with the beauty, the flowers at hand seem a little dull.

"Madam, this dress is so beautiful."

This statement hits the nail on the head for what Hatsushimo was worried about just now, "Is it too gorgeous?"

"No, no, this warm jade cheongsam suits a beautiful lady. The reserved and subtle Chinese beauty goes well with your temperament. I'm sure you will be pleased when you see it."

Chu Shuang's eyes curled up, "I'll be leaving now. Aunt Yuan, you should go back to look after the children as soon as you're done with your work."

Aunt Yuan’s family has a new grandson. She showed Chu Shuang the photo of the little grandson. He is a fair and tender little chubby boy who is very cute.

When talking about her grandchildren, Aunt Yuan looked gentle.

"It's cold at night, ma'am, you should put on a coat. You are from the south, so don't catch a cold. Oh, and there is a cape that matches your cheongsam perfectly. I'll get it for you."

After a while, Aunt Yuan brought a pure white cloak. The material was very thick and there were tassels at the bottom. It was both beautiful and warm, and it matched the outfit well.

It seems more grand.

Hatsushimo felt like a lady attending a dinner party.

By the way, my second aunt often wore this outfit when she went to the opera house with her sisters to listen to music.

As soon as I got in the car, I received a call from Sheng Yao.

"Auntie, where have you been?"

Chu Shuang thought she was trying to hurry her up, so she said in a very Chinese way, "It's almost there."

"Ah? Have we passed the theater yet? I was thinking I'd give you a ride."

"You don't drive to work?"

"not."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll pick you up."

Sheng Yao: "OK, how long will it take you to arrive?"

"Ten minutes."

"?"

"Didn't you say it was coming soon? The restaurant is less than ten minutes away from me."

Chu Shuang softened her voice, "Yaoyao, wait for me, let's go together."

This trick worked well for Sheng Yao. "Okay, I'll sit in the office for a while. When you're almost there, send me a message and I'll go down. It's too cold outside."

"good."

After picking up Sheng Yao, she saw Chu Shuang's outfit as soon as she got in the car and raised her eyebrows, "Wow, a female star."

"You look so elegant in this outfit," she said as she moved closer to Chu Shuang. "Come on, pretty sister."

Hatsushimo said calmly: "I am your aunt."

"Beautiful auntie, so sweet."

Chu Shuang could no longer restrain herself under Sheng Yao's coquettish behavior. She patted her head and said lovingly, "My dear niece."

The childish ghosts lay around for a minute and then sat down again.

Sheng Yao took out the earrings from her bag and put them on. "I am very pleased that you chose to wear this cheongsam I gave you on such an important occasion. It proves that I still have a lot of importance in your heart, right?"

"Who made you so good at aesthetics?"

This is probably the joy of giving gifts to others and getting positive feedback.

Giving someone a rose leaves a lingering fragrance on your hands.

When the recipient genuinely likes the gift, it is actually a sign of respect for the giver. This kind of emotional value transmission is really great.

"I saved my stomach for a big meal tonight. I only had a little food at noon today. Now I'm so hungry."

Sheng Yao rummaged through her bag and found a piece of chocolate. "Forget it, let's just keep it simple for now. I don't know when the food will be served there. Is my uncle still at get off work? He seems to be very busy recently."

"It should be soon. He just sent me a message saying he's coming over."

"That's good."

Sheng Yao broke the chocolate into two small pieces and handed one to Chu Shuang.

Hatsushimo ate it and said, "Hey, this tastes like the chocolate of a certain brand that I ate two days ago."

I took the package from Sheng Yao and took a look, and it was indeed from the same brand.

"It's this brand, you're eating it too? Their chocolate is delicious. I tried it once and wanted to stock up. I searched online and found that it's not sold in China yet. Do you have a purchasing agent?"

Sheng Yao paused, "No, this was given to me by a friend I met yesterday."

“Mine was also given to me by someone else.”

The two looked at each other for a second, and they had the same idea.

"Chao Yu?"

"Auntie, do you know her too?"

Hatsushimo: "I've seen him twice. I heard he's Sheng Ting's friend. He once came to see me in the middle of the night."

"I see. I remember that Sister Chaoyu really liked eating chocolate. When I was little, she would give me chocolate every time she saw me. I was curious at that time why she always had sweet chocolate on her body, like magic. After so many years, she still keeps this habit, which is quite magical. It can be seen that she is also a person who cherishes the past."

Sheng Yao: "I'll ask her about the purchasing channel for this chocolate you want."

"good."

Chu Shuang thought for a moment and asked her, "Yaoyao, have you known Chaoyu since you were very young?"

"Yes, I met her when I was in primary school, around ten years old. She and my uncle were classmates when they were studying abroad. I haven't seen her for several years. I heard that she stayed in the UK to settle down and work after graduation. I thought she would never come back. I was quite surprised to see her that day."
