Si Minghan ignored others and kept his eyes on Tao Bao.
Tao Bao looked away guiltily. She just came to sign a contract, but this man appeared here. It can be seen how strong Si Minghan's possessiveness towards her is. He simply doesn't give her any freedom to breathe. He is so domineering and scary.
Unexpected, but not unexpected...
As the host of the banquet, Tao Shiming immediately stepped forward as if facing a formidable enemy. "Mr. Si, I didn't expect you to come and make my small party so glorious! Xiaobao is really something. He even said you didn't have time to come. Otherwise, I would have personally brought my whole family to the gate to greet you!"
She Huizi next to her also made her presence felt, "Yes, yes! It's our honor to greet you in person!"
Si Minghan's dark eyes looked at Tao Bao not far away.
Tao Bao suddenly felt as if she were being pierced by sharp gazes. She had indeed told Tao Shiming that Si Minghan didn't have time to come, which meant that she had mentioned it to Si Minghan. Obviously, those words were just a perfunctory way for Tao Shiming.
If Si Minghan said she didn't say it, Tao Shiming would know that she was lying to him.
Forget it, just know it now!
Anyway, there is an unspoken understanding between her and Tao Shiming that they are two-faced!
Just as Tao Bao lowered his gaze, he heard Si Minghan's low, intimidating voice, "I want to give her a surprise."
Tao Bao was slightly stunned and looked at Si Minghan, meeting his ink-deep eyes.
Surprisingly, he didn't expose it.
That's right, Si Minghan is a man, how could he not know about her lame lies.
"Besides, it's not your turn to blame her." As Si Minghan said this, the pressure became even greater.
Even though he was looking at Tao Bao, Tao Shiming and She Huizi in front of him felt terrible pressure.
If you are timid, you will be so scared that you will go limp and kneel down on the spot.
"Yes, yes, it's not Xiaobao's fault. It's our own fault for not seeing it." Tao Shiming's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he couldn't even stand up straight.
"Again..." Si Minghan retracted his gaze and fell on Tao Shiming's nervous face, "You'd better call her by her full name. I'm not used to it."
Tao Shiming suppressed his inner panic and wanted to explain that he used to call Tao Bao "Xiao Bao". But then he thought, Si Minghan must know what he did to Tao Bao in the past, but he wouldn't have given him such a generous gift back then. It's better not to mention it!
"Yes, all the mistakes were my fault, so I wanted to make it up to her. If anyone dares to hurt her hair again, I will never let him off easily!"
"It seems that the gift I gave you did have some effect." Si Minghan's gaze slid to Tao Bao's face again.
"Thank...thank you very much, Mr. Si." Tao Shiming couldn't help but lower his head.
She Huizi thought, "A big gift? What kind of gift? How come I don't know about it? Is Tao Shiming hiding something from her? I'll settle the score with him later."
Not to mention She Huizi didn’t know, even Tao Bao didn’t know.
"Oh, look at this kid, he's still shy!" She Huizi stepped forward, affectionately pulled Tao Bao over, and pushed him in front of Si Minghan, "Mr. Si is here, stay with him."
But I thought in my heart, even if I pushed Tao Bao in front of Si Minghan, when my daughter comes, she will be so beautiful that she will definitely attract Si Minghan's attention.
Tao Bao felt uncomfortable all over. He looked at his boss Minghan's all-devouring eyes and then looked away.
Why did Si Minghan need her to accompany him? He should leave immediately. She also wanted to leave. She came to this party. Besides signing the contract, she also had to wait and see what would happen.
"Chu Mo is here!" She Huizi looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall with a look of surprise on her face.
Tao Bao looked over and saw a woman shuffling into the banquet hall. Her long dress complemented her tall figure. One shoulder was exposed, her hair was draped over her shoulder, and her earrings dangled down to her shoulder. She exuded a sense of elegance, confidence, and sexiness.
Is this Tao Shiming's daughter? To be more precise, she's She Huizi's daughter. She's quite pretty.
She Huizi's two children both look like outstanding people, but I wonder if there are hidden dangers beneath this outstanding appearance?
Many men present were attracted to it.
When She Huizi saw her beautiful daughter, she was secretly delighted. How could a man not like such a beauty?
When she looked at Si Minghan, her inner confidence was somewhat shaken.
Si Minghan stood sideways, without even looking at the banquet hall, his attention was all on Tao Bao.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, that's because you haven't seen my daughter's appearance, otherwise you wouldn't be so calm.
"Dad, Mom." Tao Chumo stood next to Tao Bao.
Tao Bao felt as if he was blinded by the flash of light.
Tao Chumo looked at Tao Bao, "You are Tao Bao, right? I heard dad talk about you often. It seems that I will have a younger sister in the future. I am very happy."
After saying that, he finally faced Si Minghan and said that he would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't nervous.
She had put in a lot of effort for this meeting.
She was a thousand times more nervous than her first etiquette class.
But she deeply felt that all the efforts were worth it.
I used to see it on TV, but when I saw it in person, I realized that the power of the people in charge of KING Group is even more frightening. That is the danger of superficial power.
Tao Chumo calmed her nervous heart and began to introduce herself, "Hello, I am..."
"Not?" Si Minghan asked.
Tao Bao was a little slow to react. He glanced at Tao Chumo, whose face was frozen, and said, "How about something to drink?"
Tao Shiming hurriedly said, "Yes, Xiao...Tao Bao, you accompany Mr. Si. Mr. Si, I'll get you some wine!" After saying that, he went there immediately.
Si Minghan glanced at Tao Bao, and Tao Bao said, "Come and sit over here?" Then he turned and walked towards the rest area.
Si Minghan walked past Tao Chumo as if he didn't see anything.
Tao Chumo's hands hung down to her side, tightly gripping her skirt, enduring the humiliation of being ignored.
She Huizi took her hand and said, "He doesn't know you yet. He'll get better after more contact."
"Is it because I'm not dressed nice enough today?" Tao Chumo looked disappointed.
"Of course not. Maybe he's just in a bad mood today. Don't be discouraged!"
"Discouraged and giving up halfway are not my style."
As soon as Si Minghan sat down on the sofa, Tao Shiming immediately came over with wine.
I also brought juice to Tao Bao.
After putting it down, Tao Shiming bent over and said, "Mr. Si, please enjoy your meal!"
Si Minghan didn't say anything. He put one hand on his watch and subconsciously rubbed the cover. The slow movement made people feel uneasy.
"Tao Bao, you stay with Mr. Si. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me." After Tao Shiming finished speaking, he left the rest area.
Si Minghan raised his eyes and looked at Tao Bao, "Sitting so far away, will I eat you?"
Tao Bao looked down at his seat. Wasn't it diagonally across from him? However, the sofas in the lounge area were arranged in a rectangular shape, so the seat diagonally across from him was indeed the farthest away.
Could she say that she was looking for this position instinctively? It was obvious that her fear of Si Minghan was already a deep-rooted psychological reaction.
