After entering the Ruan family's gate, Han Xiao was amazed at the scenery in the courtyard. It was much more real than the former residences of celebrities in modern times.
Moreover, the people coming and going were all maids and servants, which added to the popularity.
Han Xiao looked at the pleasant scenery in the courtyard and thought that it would look even better when it snowed. When he had money in the future, he would consider buying a house like this.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the main hall. The main hall must have been heated by the floor heating, and the temperature in the whole room was very high. Even Han Xiao's winter clothes felt a little warm.
Mr. Ruan sat at the first seat in the main hall. He was chubby and looked like a rich man, but his face was very kind and his smile made people feel good about him.
Seeing Han Xiao coming in, Master Ruan quickly stood up to greet him: "Hey, Brother Han, it's been a while since we last met." He glanced at Han Xiao behind him and said: "This kid has grown up so much. I was thinking that if you didn't come this year, I would have gone to your house to visit. Fortunately, you are here today. Come on and take a seat."
As soon as the two of them sat down, a maid brought them warm tea.
"Yes, it's been about three or four years since we last met. I'm really ashamed." Han Mingyuan's voice was a little low.
Han Xiao thought that the two people really knew each other, so he didn't disturb them from talking and just acted as a background.
"Brother Han, you are here this time probably because of...the marriage of your son and my Ruan Zhu." Master Ruan probably didn't know Han Xiao's name, and said it a little stiffly.
Han Xiao sat up straight as soon as he heard it. He had no chance to speak at the moment, so it was up to Han Mingyuan.
"Yes, the two children are not young anymore, so I came to bother you today because I was thinking about their engagement and whether it would be possible..."
"That's right. I remember that the two children are the same age. They will both be eighteen years old after the New Year. We really can't delay it any longer. Someone, please go over, young master." Master Ruan seemed to be an impatient person. He interrupted Han Mingyuan and was about to call someone over.
Han Xiao had a bad feeling in his heart. Doesn't Mr. Ruan have any thoughts when he sees him dressed like this?
And why does it seem like Mr. Ruan can’t wait to marry his son off? Is there something wrong with Young Master Ruan’s appearance?
If the Ruan family really does not agree to cancel the engagement, I will really marry Young Master Ruan.
Just when Han Xiao was still depressed that Mr. Ruan did not play by the rules and wanted Han Mingyuan to say something more.
Then a few more people came in from outside the door. The one in front was obviously a maid leading the way, and behind the maid was a young man in a crimson robe.
The young man had picturesque features, delicate skin like fine white porcelain, a pair of big round eyes that seemed filled with stars, and rose-like lips tightly pursed.
As if he felt Han Xiao's gaze, the boy's face suddenly turned red, adding a touch of color.
Han Xiao never knew that a person could grow up perfectly in his heart. He could not feel anything in the surrounding environment, but could only hear his own heartbeat and the sound of the boy walking towards him. His heart beat loudly, constantly shouting that this person must be his.
"Xiao'er, Xiao'er!"
Hearing Han Mingyuan's voice, Han Xiao came back to his senses and concealed the emotions in his eyes. Han Xiao couldn't help but feel fortunate that the words of breaking off the engagement had not been spoken yet, otherwise Han Xiao would have wanted to go back and slap himself twice.
"Xiao'er, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Han Xiao looked strange, Han Mingyuan asked.
"Cough, it's okay, it's okay." Han Xiao coughed to cover up.
Master Ruan looked at Han Xiao's expression with a hint of amusement: "Hahaha, young people, it's normal to feel a little embarrassed. This is my Ruan Zhu, who happens to be the same age as you. You have been engaged since childhood. Your Uncle Han is here because he wants you two to meet."
The first few words were spoken to Han Xiao, and the latter ones were probably spoken to the young master Ruan Zhu.
"I understand, father." Ruan Zhu sat down next to Master Ruan, her face still flushed, and her voice was soft, which made Han Xiao's heart tremble.
In the end, the voices all met his aesthetic standards. Han Xiao, who had a high EQ, understood that he had fallen in love at first sight with the young master of the Ruan family.
Han Mingyuan understood what was going on when he saw his son's expression. This brat had vowed yesterday that he wanted to cancel the engagement, but ended up like this now.
Thinking that the gift I brought today is a bit light, I wonder if Mr. Ruan will mind. It seems that I must be more cautious next time and not let the Ruan family feel dissatisfied.
For a moment, the four of them had different thoughts and the atmosphere was a little different. It was Master Ruan who spoke up, "How about this? The younger generation would feel embarrassed to talk when we're around. The plum blossoms in the back garden are blooming beautifully this year. You two should go take a look."
Of course Han Xiao was delighted and quickly agreed. How could he turn down the opportunity to be alone with the young master?
Ruan Zhu also nodded without saying anything, but her curved eyebrows showed that the young master was not opposed to being alone with Han Xiao.
But Han Xiao hated herself for having to wear this old dress when she came today. What if the young master thought her family was poor and didn't want to marry her?
She was thinking about something, but her feet kept moving. She followed the maid and the young master to the back garden.
Neither of them spoke along the way. The young master kept his head down, and his thin shoulders trembled slightly.
The temporary cloak was a bit thin, so Han Xiao took off his own cloak and put it on the young master.
Ruan Zhu was suddenly embraced by a man, and she felt a little strange in her heart. Then a warm cloak was put on her body, which immediately drove away the coldness in her body.
Ruan Zhu said thank you in a low voice shyly.
Fortunately, Han Xiao has good hearing, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to hear it.
Seeing the young master's rosy face, Han Xiao's heart rippled and he smiled and said, "Is just thank you enough?"
Ruan Zhu was slightly stunned and didn't understand what Han Xiao meant. Then, looking at the smirk on Han Xiao's lips, he realized that Han Xiao was teasing him.
I immediately thought that this person looked like a decent person, but why did he have such a bad temper? However, I didn't feel any disgust towards him at all.
"Then what do you want to do?" Ruan Zhu said softly.
After hearing this, Han Xiao wanted to rub his little head, but he was afraid of offending the beauty.
"Why don't you call me brother? I heard from my father that I'm a few months older than you, so I should be your older brother."
Ruan Zhu's face was burning hot, and she couldn't even scream for a moment.
Seeing him shrinking with his head down, Han Xiao chuckled and stopped teasing him: "I heard Uncle Ruan call you soft, so how about I teach you how to be soft too? Soft?"
Ruan Zhu felt hot all over after being called by Han Xiao, and her little face turned red and looked extremely cute.
Han Xiao's heart trembled even more when he saw this. This little thing really grew in his heart.
"You can call me whatever you want." Ruan Zhu said slowly after a long time.
The heat on my face subsided a little as the cold wind blew.
Looking at Han Xiao with a smile on his face, Ruan Zhu almost twisted the sleeves in his hands.
This person is really bad.
