When Xia Dai saw her girlfriend downstairs at the Snow family, he realized she was dressed surprisingly simple.
Not a single brand na from head to toe, and not even makeup, just a layer of concealer prir and a nude lip gloss. But she looked very healthy, with a vibrant energy.
He felt a bit complicated inside, but couldn’t help being impressed, "Snow, you’re different today from usual."
Snow clearly saw the awe in Xia Dai’s eyes, yet she coyly said, "I didn’t wear makeup today, do I look a bit ugly?"
Xia Dai quickly shook his head, "No, you’re very beautiful."
Snow playfully said, "But I decided long ago, even if you think I’m ugly, you have to praise for looking good."
Xia Dai chuckled without saying anything.
Snow hooked onto his arm, smiling sweetly, "Thank you for liking the real ."
Xia Dai carried his thoughts, sowhat avoiding her sparkling eyes, and led her to his car, "Why no makeup today?"
Snow said intimately, "Because I’m going to help Auntie cook today."
Xia Dai wanted to say sothing but held back.
Once they entered the Xia’s house.
Snow finally understood why Xia Dai had that hesitant expression when she said she was going to help his mom cook.
Because, Xia Dai’s mom simply didn’t cook, not only his mom but none of the won in this famous old-money family in Jincheng cooked.
Because they had several five-star chefs, including Chinese cuisine and Western desserts.
Snow held onto Xia Dai’s arm, slightly lowering her eyes—
As she thought, Xia Dai’s family was indeed rich, extrely rich, even more than she imagined.
Her mood took a long ti to calm.
Ning Youguang sat on the sofa, quietly watching Xia Dai bring in a bare-faced girl.
Xia Fei leaned beside her, whispering, "She usually isn’t like this, she wears makeup to work every day."
"Snow is here, co sit down." Ruan Qiulan greeted Snow indifferently from across them.
Before his son ntioned bringing his girlfriend ho.
His niece had already explained the cause and effect of the matter to her clearly.
Therefore, she told her son, "Invite her ho to have a look."
But she couldn’t be very enthusiastic towards her.
Xia Dai subtly glanced at his mom, then looked at his cousin and niece on the sofa, and began introducing everyone’s identity to Snow.
"Hello, Auntie." Snow smiled sweetly at the elegant and beautiful Xia Dai’s mom, feeling that won in affluent nests really were different from ordinary people.
Ruan Qiulan nodded lightly, "Sit down."
Xia Fei had stopped associating with Snow at the company long ago after Snow set up Xia Dai.
However, Snow remained as close as if they were still friends, "Feifei is not going out today?"
She sat down beside Xia Fei.
Xia Fei felt uneasy inside but still forced a smile, giving her more space.
Afterwards, she didn’t talk to her anymore and continued chatting with Ning Youguang, "You told not to eat lemons recently..."
"You two sit down, I’ve got sothing to do, need to go upstairs for a while." Ruan Qiulan stood up, "Daidai, take good care of Snow."
After instructing, she went upstairs.
Xia Dai sat opposite Snow, in the exact seat his mom had just left.
"Snow, would you like sothing to drink?"
"I like tea." Snow said with a smile, "You really need to ask about that."
Xia Fei felt goosebumps all over and subtly mouthed at Ning Youguang.
Ning Youguang laughed, "Daidai, what else does Snow like? Let Aunt Li prepare."
Snow had noticed the delicate girl in the Xia family, whom she didn’t know, as soon as she entered.
She hadn’t taken her eyes off her, and upon hearing her speak, she imdiately smiled, "I heard Daidai call you Youyou, right? Can I call you like that too?"
"Of course." Ning Youguang nodded with a smile.
Snow’s face blossod into a bright smile, "Daidai often talks about you to , it’s an honor to et you today, you’re so beautiful, I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than you in real life."
"Thank you." Ning Youguang graciously accepted the complint, "You’re also very beautiful."
Snow shyly shook her head, "Getting complinted by you makes feel embarrassed."
A thin layer of blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
After that, Ning Youguang was the only one chatting with Snow, sentence by sentence, in Xia’s living room.
Xia Fei intentionally ignored Snow the whole ti.
Xia Dai, seated opposite, remained mostly silent.
Since the last argunt with Xia Fei, although he still had a glimr of hope that he should trust his girlfriend, it was indeed difficult to treat her as well as before.
During lunch.
In the Xia family dining room, apart from Xia Dai, there were no other males.
Others were busy or deliberately avoiding.
Upon noticing this, Snow smiled and asked Ruan Qiulan, "Auntie, are the uncles usually busy with work?"
Ruan Qiulan nodded.
Not intending to say much.
Snow later tried asking indirectly a few more questions, discovered no one was willing to talk more about the family situation, so she sensibly shut her mouth.
After the al.
She politely said to everyone, "Today’s lunch was very sumptuous, thank you for the hosting, I have to work part-ti this afternoon, so I’ll head back first."
Ruan Qiulan said, "Let Daidai send you."
No one else spoke to ask her to stay.
After Xia Dai sent Snow ho, he faced the won’s gaze and inquiries in the family.
"Sent her back?" Ruan Qiulan’s face lost its previous detachnt.
"Sent her back." Xia Dai sat down next to them with low spirits.
"Did she say anything to you?" Xia Fei asked.
Xia Dai felt uncomfortable, nodded, then shook his head.
"What does that an?" Xia Fei continued asking.
"She didn’t say anything to ." Xia Dai said,
He then took out his phone, opened his monts, and handed it to Xia Fei, "But she posted a mont."
Xia Fei took it and looked at it with Ning Youguang.
They saw that twenty minutes ago, Snow posted a mont, a teary-eyed selfie, along with a caption—
["I’ve never suffered such grievance, is there anyone who can comfort ?"]
After Ning Youguang and she finished seeing the ssage dripping with sarcasm, they handed the phone to Aunt and her mom.
The two elders looked at it, shook their heads, and said nothing.
Xia Fei smirked and asked Xia Dai, "How is it, feeling hurt?"
Xia Dai was silent.
Xia Fei sneered, "Don’t worry, as a skillful ’green tea,’ there are enough silly fish in monts to give her warmth and comfort."
Sure enough, it didn’t take long.
Xia Fei saw Snow’s self-comnt under the post she just published in her monts:
["Thanks everyone for your concern, sorry, can’t reply to each of you individually."] 1314
