Her tone was calm, yet carried a natural familiarity.
As the person in charge of the "Survival" project, she worked closely with the experimental center of Gu's Medical and had already reviewed Gu Huaiye's detailed information.
This top surgical expert, only 26 years old, not only provided impeccable cooperation conditions, but the data reports submitted by his team were also impressively rigorous, making him one of the most worry-free partners in the project team.
She naturally had a clear impression of this name.
She never expected that this young man, who was so outstanding in his professional field, would be so familiar with her daughter, Ningning.
What a coincidence!
Although Gu Huaiye did not directly contact the top person in charge of Susheng, he had a vague guess in his mind that day in the Northeast.
At that moment, their eyes met, and a knowing glimmer flashed in each other's eyes.
Gu Huaiye's lips curved slightly, his smile polite and warm, and he turned to the side, gesturing for him to enter.
"Then, please come with me, our Director Xia and all our relatives and friends."
Stepping inside the villa, Xia Zhining realized that it was far more than just a "luxury dormitory".
It's more like a "dream home" tailor-made for her and all her furry companions.
The villa has so many rooms that it's impossible to count them all. While maintaining a unified style under the warm "forest fairy tale" theme, each room has its own unique design, simulating the living environment of various small animals.
But what brought tears to Xia Zhining's eyes the most were the details scattered throughout, designed specifically for animal friends:
In one corner of the living room stands a small and exquisite wooden slide and climbing frame, with several soft plush toys hanging on it.
An exquisite wooden track extends from the second-floor window, firmly connecting to the branches of a large tree outside.
That was a "private highway" prepared for the squirrel brothers.
At the bottom of almost every door, there is a small door of a different style: the arched door is painted with small fish, obviously reserved for the tabby king.
The other low door, adorned with pom-poms, is the snowball's private passage.
Even in a dark and quiet corner, there is a simulated rough tree stump hanging on it, with specially made bumps and grooves for easy gripping.
That was a "bedroom" reserved for the nocturnal chubby bats to rest upside down.
Xia Zhining's fingers gently brushed along the smooth edge of the slide, her chest filled with a warm and overflowing emotion.
These details... these fragmented fantasies she had only casually mentioned when chatting with Gu Huaiye, about "what it would be like to have an ideal home."
"If only there were a slide, Xue Tuan would definitely love it."
"Songbaobao keeps rubbing against the windowsill. If there were a dedicated passage, it wouldn't bump into the glass."
"We need to leave a door for Tabby; it's very smart and can open it by itself."
...These fragments of words that she herself might have forgotten after saying them were actually written down by Gu Huaiye, and gradually turned into reality.
She turned around and looked at Gu Huaiye, who had been quietly following behind her.
He was bending slightly to straighten a slipper that Dark Star had brought him, his profile appearing exceptionally gentle in the warm light.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, Gu Huaiye straightened up and met her eyes.
He didn't speak, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, as if asking: Do you still like it?
All the unspoken intentions, all the deep affection hidden in the details of the fairy tale, speak volumes in this moment.
Xia Zhining felt a slight tingling in her nose, but she still managed to put on a smile brighter than any of the lights in the room.
This gift is really too heavy.
It wasn't just the value of the luxurious villa that mattered; it was the solemnity of all her casual remarks being presented as "a wish fulfilled."
Xia Zhining, holding the soft, fluffy snowball in her arms, gently lifted one of the little guy's furry front paws and presented it to Gu Huaiye, her eyes curving into crescents: "Mr. Gu, to express our gratitude... we cordially invite you to join us for New Year's Eve dinner and celebrate the New Year~"
She shook Xue Tuan's little paw, her voice filled with laughter and sincerity: "I wonder if Mr. Gu would do me the honor?"
