Chun Tao's words impressed Han Tao, and he felt even more respect for her.
The two arrived at a Western restaurant, where Han Tao pulled out a chair for her and helped her sit down.
This was Chun Tao's first time visiting such an elegantly decorated place. The other diners around her were also quiet, making her seem a little reserved.
"What would you like to eat? I've brought Ququ and the others here a few times, and they said this salt-baked shrimp is good. Would you like to try it?" Han Tao asked her, opening the menu.
Chun Tao was drawn to the pictures inside. Instead of thinking about what to order, she realized that menus could be made like this, with text on one side and pictures on the other.
She decided that when she returned, she would also promote this menu in the hotel restaurant.
After looking around for a while, she didn't order anything in the end, and asked Han Tao to order two dishes that she thought tasted good.
Han Tao then ordered her a sirloin steak, a salt-baked shrimp, and an ice cream.
I also ordered a steak.
Soft music played, a sweet smile graced Han Tao's face as he enjoyed the delicious food, feeling more joyful than ever before.
Perhaps this is a good time to confess your feelings.
He made a long-distance call to Han Lei to learn from his experience in preparing for this moment.
Han Lei and Lin Xiaocui's relationship was a marathon; he proposed several times but Lin Xiaocui never agreed.
Later, Lin Xiaocui accompanied him to study in Gangcheng, and she also opened a Western restaurant there. The two are now married.
He made a special phone call to ask how to win a girl's heart.
Han Lei laughed heartily, never expecting that his usually aloof older brother would actually take the initiative to pursue a girl.
"Brother, sincerity is the best weapon. As long as you have a sincere heart, the other person will definitely feel it."
These are his heartfelt words.
Han Tao felt that he had no shortage of enthusiasm, so he had no worries. Just as he was about to speak his mind, three familiar figures walked in.
The next second, they walked towards Han Tao.
"Hello, Uncle." Ququ's expression was cold, but she was very respectful.
But he calls Chun Tao "sister".
Duoduo smiled and waved to him, and when she saw Chuntao opposite him, her smile became even more meaningful.
Miaomiao greeted them, then asked a question as if to prove herself:
"Uncle, are you two on a date?"
Han Tao maintained his smile and winked at them:
"Let's go quickly, ancestors."
He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, hoping they would know better than to leave quickly.
But the little ones, who were already as tall as adults, completely ignored his hints and continued to chat with them from the side.
"Want to eat together?" Chuntao suggested.
She loved all three children very much; she watched them grow from tiny babies to tall adults, standing at 1.75 meters.
At this rate, the two boys will easily grow to 1.85 meters tall, and Miaomiao won't be short either.
Fortunately, Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye appeared in time and called all three of them away, giving them some private space.
Seeing that Chun Tao had almost finished eating, Han Tao suggested that the two of them go for a walk by the lake.
Chun Tao picked up the ice cream she hadn't yet eaten and followed him out the door.
Outside, a gentle breeze and a bright moon blew, and the trees on both sides of the road rustled in the wind.
It was early winter, and the temperature was only in the teens, but Han Tao felt as warm-hearted as a young boy, experiencing an unprecedented happiness.
"Eat up," he reminded Chun Tao when he saw she wasn't moving her ice cream.
Chun Tao smiled, picked up a small spoon, scooped up a mouthful, and put it in her mouth. It was cool and refreshing, and very sweet. But then she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be having her period.
She never dared to take a second bite.
"Here, have some. It's too cold, I can't eat it." She pushed the ice cream in front of him.
Han Tao paused for two seconds, took the ice cream, and grinned from ear to ear.
He took a bite of ice cream and said with satisfaction:
"This is the first time a girl has bought me ice cream. It's so sweet."
He used to be the most averse to sweets, thinking they were something only little girls liked, but today, he ate all the ice cream.
The cold food did not dampen his enthusiasm, and by the lake, he finally spoke his mind.
Chuntao leaned against the lakeside railing, the moonlight shining on her like water, making her look as pure and holy as a fairy.
She never dreamed that one day she would be favored by Han Tao, and she always treated him like an older brother.
Calling him an uncle wouldn't be out of place.
Since coming to the capital from her small town, she has met many people, and there are two she particularly envies.
One is Lu Wanqing. She is intelligent, insightful, and everything she does seems to be blessed by heaven, making everything go smoothly and leading to her success.
But what she envied most was that she had a husband who was devoted to her, and the two of them were in perfect harmony in life and complemented each other in their work. They were truly a match made in heaven.
Another one is Lin Xiaocui, her benefactor.
She had heard Lin Xiaocui's past stories and was moved by her stubbornness and perseverance. She was also impressed by her clear-headedness and her independent attitude.
I have tried to imitate her, but I have never surpassed her.
She once admired a man who was more than ten years older than her and had children. She fantasized that if she married such a man, she would no longer be a drifting duckweed here, but would become a true resident of the capital.
Later, as Fok Ying-tung and his first love grew closer, she finally realized that what she wanted was still too idealistic, and that she was not ready to be a stepmother.
She helped others and reminded herself that only by working diligently could she have confidence in herself.
"Spring Peach~ Spring Peach~"
Han Tao waved his hand in front of her, pulling her out of her reverie.
"I know this is a bit abrupt, after all, we've only met a few times, but believe me, I'm the kind of person who would rather have nothing than something bad. I wouldn't say these things to you if I hadn't already made up my mind." Han Tao tried his best to show his sincerity.
Chun Tao smiled faintly as she looked at his anxious expression:
"Don't rush me, I didn't say I wouldn't agree. I just feel that we haven't met many times, and what you see of me isn't the whole me. What if you see another side of me and are disappointed? Wouldn't that be making the wrong choice?"
I still think we should start as friends. Get to know me better before you make a decision.
She's no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and she's seen some boyfriends and girlfriends fall out. Often, the guy would say, "How come I never knew you were this kind of person?"
On this point, she thought Lin Xiaocui's approach was quite good; if two people are truly in love, why should they be together every day?
Moreover, she had also heard that Han Tao's mother, Wei Shufen, was very picky about her daughter-in-law and that not just any woman could catch her eye.
She hoped that Han Tao would explain all these things to his family before the two officially confirmed their relationship.
Han Tao listened attentively to what she had said, looked at her with gentle eyes, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and leaned down to say:
"Okay, I'll do whatever my wife says."
