Chapter 160 Dragon and Phoenix Pendant

While everyone was chatting, they woke up Xibao who was sleeping soundly.

Xibao was not noisy, but her beautiful big eyes were rolling around, looking at the people around.

Unlike Xiaojiu who was crying and making a fuss, Xibao was very quiet, eating and sleeping, and was very well behaved when she was awake.

Even the confinement nanny said that she had never seen such an easy-to-care-for baby.

"Wow, Xixi is so beautiful."

Lu Yihan was the first person to find that Xibao had woken up. She squatted down and teased her.

Xibao blew a bubble of milk, which made Lu Yihan laugh.

"What a cute and well-behaved baby."

Her motherly love overflowed.

At this time, Xibao suddenly moved, as if something was pressing on her.

Lu Yihan opened her swaddling clothes and found a golden phoenix pendant in the cradle. It

was made of pure gold and was quite heavy. The golden phoenix spread its tail and looked very beautiful.

"Hey? How did Xixi's pendant fall off?"

Lu Yihan said, picking up the pendant and preparing to put it on her.

Yi Huan took a look and was stunned for a moment, "Where did this come from?"

Lu Yihan stopped and looked back at her: "I found it in her cradle."

Yi Huan took the pendant, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Bo Sili.

Bo Sili had never seen it before either.

"Has anyone come to see Xixi today?"

"No."

Yi Huan said, "Besides me and the confinement nanny, only these people have come."

After all, the banquet hasn't started yet, and the main team to look after the children hasn't come yet.

So, how did this pendant get into Xixi's cradle?

Bo Sili turned around and rummaged through Xiaojiu's cradle, and sure enough, he found a gold pendant.

However, unlike Xixi's golden phoenix pendant, Xiaojiu's pendant is a golden dragon.

The crouching dragon is circling, and the carving is lifelike.

One dragon and one phoenix, it's obvious that they were specially given to each other.

But who sent them?

Yi Huan and Bo Sili met each other's eyes, and they couldn't figure it out.

...

Jian Jiaren has a cold today and is not feeling well.

But thinking that today's full-moon banquet was very important, she still forced herself to stand behind Huo Beisi and help him to entertain the guests.

After finally sending all the guests in, Jian Jiaren's face was already very ugly.

"Jiaren."

Huo Beisi called her twice, and she forced a smile to reply him.

He frowned, his face solemn: "I'll take you back to rest."

"No need."

She said softly, "I just have a small cold."

Huo Beisi stretched out his hand to her, and Jian Jiaren covered his palm with it.

The temperature of her palm was very high, and it seemed that she had a fever.

Colds can be serious or minor, but Jian Jiaren is prone to headaches when she has a cold. When she has a headache, she will feel very uncomfortable.

Huo Beisi sighed lightly, "Push me to find my father."

"Okay."

She didn't think about it, and a quiet smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

She just wanted to accompany him.

When Huo Beisi met Huo Qizhen, he offered to take Jian Jiaren back with him.

Before he could finish his words, Jian Jiaren interrupted him hurriedly: "No, I just have a minor cold, there's no need to exaggerate..."

Today is the Huo family's banquet, how could Huo Beisi not be there?

Huo Qizhen looked at her, then at Huo Beisi's firm expression, and simply said: "Jiaren, don't force yourself if you're not feeling well. You're also tired from today's banquet, let Beisi accompany you back to rest."

"Uncle..."

"Okay, that's it."

Huo Qizhen said to Huo Beisi again: "Take good care of Jiaren."

"Yes, father."

Huo Beisi nodded slightly.

Jian Jiaren stood aside, watching the father and son arrange everything for her clearly.

She had to compromise.

However, she felt warm in her heart.

In the past, she often came to the Huo family to visit the two brothers.

Huo Beisi was busy most of the time, so she spent more time with Huo Nanting and Huo Qizhen.

The two families were good friends, and Huo Qizhen treated her like a half-daughter.

For her, the family atmosphere of the Huo family was always something she envied.

And in the Jian family, only Grandpa would care about her.

Thinking of Grandpa, Jian Jiaren's eyes turned red.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Beisi helped her fasten her seat belt, staring into her red eyes and asked.

She came to her senses and shook her head, "I miss Grandpa."

Huo Beisi wiped her tears, his voice soft: "Your Grandpa knows that you are doing well, and he can rest in peace in heaven. So, don't be wronged in the future, and I don't want you to be unhappy around me."

"I'm very happy."

She replied subconsciously, and then she lowered her head with a red face.

Huo Beisi smiled faintly, "Yes, I know."

Jian Jiaren pursed her lips.

"Jiaren."

Huo Beisi on the side spoke again, "We are going to spend the rest of our lives together, so don't just think about taking care of me. You also have to learn to show weakness and let me take care of you."

He knew that she liked him, and he also knew that she was willing to be with him without expecting anything in return.

However, this is not the state of a healthy relationship.

Relationships are between two people, and they need to be worked on by both parties.

For him, she was willing to quarrel with her family and refused to go abroad, insisting on staying in North City to accompany him and guard him.

Huo Beisi would naturally not let her down.

He would also protect her and take care of her.

Huo Beisi held her hand, Jian Jiaren looked up to meet his gaze, nodded heavily, her eyes moist, "Yeah."

Huo Beisi took Jian Jiaren home, the family doctor took her temperature, and after taking the medicine, she fell asleep soon.

Huo Beisi went downstairs, preparing to pick some lilies in the yard and make lily porridge for her.

"Young Master."

The housekeeper called him from behind.

"What's the matter?"

"There's an old beggar outside, and she won't leave no matter what, and she said she wants to see you."

Huo Beisi looked indifferent as he picked lilies.

"Just give her something to send her away."

Huo Beisi didn't take it seriously. "You have to tell me this?" "

But she insisted on seeing you."

The housekeeper was embarrassed.

"See me?"

Huo Beisi handed the lilies he had picked to Wen Cong behind him, and raised his eyes in confusion: "Who is she?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "She refused to say anything, just sat at the door and refused to leave, and insisted on seeing you."

Huo Beisi frowned and thought for a while, "Then let her in."

"Yes."

Ten minutes later, Huo Beisi and the hunchbacked old lady in a gray-blue long gown, with gray hair and wrinkled skin, met in the side hall.

"Old man, do you know me?"

Huo Beisi asked someone beside him to pour her tea.

The old lady stared at him and said with a smile, "Of course I know you. Twenty years ago, there was a famine in North City. I survived by eating your rice."

Huo Beisi nodded slightly, his handsome face showing elegance and gentleness. "The Huo family rose to power in North City, so it is reasonable for them to repay the people of North City. You don't have to be polite."

The old lady took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. "Master Huo, what's wrong with your leg?"

Huo Beisi explained lightly.

The old lady understood, looked at him carefully and said, "Let me help you take a look."
