Chapter 222 Straight Men Giving Gifts



Huo Beixiao had told her before that the main structure of the house in the provincial capital had been completed, and she could move in as soon as it was decorated. He also asked her what she thought about the decoration.

Looking at the magnificent villa and spacious courtyard in front of her, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt an indescribable joy.

Next to their villa, a commercial center jointly invested and built by Huo Beixiao and Tong Xuejiao is also rising from the ground.

This place will become the center of the entire provincial capital in the future, and their little villa is quiet in the middle of the city. When this area becomes more lively, it will be even more comfortable to live here.

Jiang Qiaoqiao had no ideas about decorating the house before, but now that she saw the house, ideas suddenly popped into her head.

She had already planned out what flowers to plant in which areas of the yard, where to build a swing set, and where to dig a small pond to create a water feature and raise a few goldfish.

After thinking it through, she didn't waste any time and quickly went inside to find paper and pen, and drew her idea into a design.

Huo Beixiao looked at the design she had drawn, his deep eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.

He picked up Jiang Qiaoqiao and spun her around, saying, "Honey, the design you gave us is so beautiful."

After saying that, he snapped to attention and said, "Reporting to Comrade Jiang Qiaoqiao, I will definitely follow the organization's arrangements, complete the task with high quality and quantity, and decorate our house beautifully."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but hug Jiang Qiaoqiao and kiss her.

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but glare at him, "Huo Beixiao, how come I never realized you were such a frivolous person?"

Huo Beixiao's eyebrows and eyes were filled with a doting smile, "That's because I used to be a very proper person."

Jiang Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow at him. "So, you're blaming me for your lack of seriousness now?"

Huo Beixiao hugged her and kissed her again, "Of course I'm not blaming my wife, but thanking her. My life used to be full of darkness, but my wife brought light into my life."

Huo Beixiao looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with deep affection and spoke with great focus.

Jiang Qiaoqiao never expected that a man could say such things, but her heart warmed and softened.

She couldn't help but hook her arms around the man's neck, stand on tiptoe, and plant a kiss on his lips.

Huo Beixiao seized the opportunity, wrapping one arm around her slender waist and the other around the back of her head, deepening the kiss...

She didn't know how long the kiss lasted; Jiang Qiaoqiao felt as if all the air in her lungs had been sucked out, and her consciousness began to fade...

The man suddenly picked her up and said in a slightly hurried voice, "Wife, let's go to the car."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...

In broad daylight...

Right in the car?

Was this man really that open-minded?

Even someone who had experienced the glitz and glamour of later generations couldn't help but feel a little shy.

She clutched the man's shirt, her face flushed, and looked at him shyly with her clear, bright eyes. "Brother Xiao, isn't it inappropriate for us to be in the car in broad daylight?"

Huo Beixiao looked down at her, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with it?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but bury her head in the man's chest. "What if some of the workers suddenly come and see us?"

Huo Beixiao: "I'll take you to the department store to buy things. There are workers coming to do some work..."

Huo Beixiao stopped speaking abruptly, as if he suddenly understood something.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.

How could she have thought the man wanted to stay in the car...?

Huo Beixiao's lips curled into a pleased smile. He leaned close to Jiang Qiaoqiao's ear, his hot breath brushing against her earlobe. "So, my wife wanted to... I understand now. After we move into our new home and have our wedding banquet, I will definitely fulfill my wife's wish."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...

Even after arriving at the department store, Jiang Qiaoqiao's fever had not completely subsided.

But she could only force herself to remain calm and ask Huo Beixiao, "What are we doing at the department store? What do we want to buy?"

Huo Beixiao carefully tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, took her hand, and walked into the department store, saying, "Wife, you'll see when you come with me."

Jiang Qiaoqiao was pulled by Huo Beixiao and walked straight to the counter selling gold and jewelry.

As soon as the salesperson saw Huo Beixiao, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Comrade, you've arrived! I'll go and get the jewelry you ordered for you right away."

Soon, the salesperson brought out several red velvet boxes.

The boxes were opened one by one.

Looking at the contents of the box, Jiang Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded: a large golden phoenix crown, a set of high-quality hardware, and a dazzling, huge diamond ring.

When these items were displayed, not only was Jiang Qiaoqiao surprised, but other customers and sales staff in the department store also cast envious glances in their direction.

Completely disregarding the stares of others, Huo Beixiao looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with anticipation, as if presenting a treasure, and asked, "Wife, do you like it?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...

Under the gaze of others, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Before she could speak, Huo Beixiao had already picked up the huge pigeon egg. "Wife, let me put it on you and see if it fits."

The ring slipped perfectly onto my finger; it couldn't be more perfect.

The saleswoman next to her couldn't help but say to Jiang Qiaoqiao with envy, "Comrade, you are so lucky. You have no idea that Comrade Huo ordered all of these for you, and they were all made with the measurements taken beforehand."

A man this good and rich is hard to find even with a lantern.

Looking at the enormous pigeon egg and the gleaming gold phoenix crown and hardware, it would be a lie to say that Jiang Qiaoqiao wasn't happy or moved.

But besides being happy and touched, she felt mostly embarrassed.

That scoundrel is so high-profile!

In his previous life, after Qin Haiyang became the richest man, he always made her cooperate with him in showing off their affection in a high-profile manner in order to create the image of a loving wife.

Even when Qin Haiyang was putting on a show, he had never gone to this extent.

But this man is a typical straight man with no romantic flair. He spent so much money on all these things, but didn't bother with a romantic ceremony. He just blatantly gave them to her.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Huo Beixiao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "Wife, do you not like it?"

If you don't like it, I'll have them redesign and remake it for you.

Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was used to cooperating with Qin Haiyang in her past life, is now looking at Huo Beixiao with tears in her eyes. "I like it very much, Brother Xiao, thank you."

Huo Beixiao's tightly pursed lips instantly curved upwards, "Wife, as long as you like it, that's all that matters. I was really worried that my taste was bad and that you wouldn't like it."

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at the phoenix crown and hardware. The hardware was a set, with a peony pattern.

If this kind of trick were applied to other things, Jiang Qiaoqiao would really think it was old-fashioned, but this is all gold!

Who can resist gold?
