Han Zhen was also momentarily stunned. This was the first time he had seen her eyes up close, but he felt a sense of deja vu.

Gao Xiaoxiao was the first to regain her senses. She quickly snatched her glasses from Han Zhen and put them on in a panic.

Han Zhen quickly regained his composure and smiled. “You look pretty good without your glasses.”

Gao Xiaoxiao blinked quickly without saying a word. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Liqing outside the window. She was looking at her with a twisted expression, her eyes filled with anger.

Gao Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. After staring at each other for a moment, Gu Liqing sneered and left.

Han Zhen had already gotten the store assistant to put the clothes in a bag. After swiping his card ostentatiously, he left with Gao Xiaoxiao in his arms.

Twenty minutes later, a white Bentley drove into the Xiangxi Garden villa area in City D.

Han Zhen pulled into the garage, parked the car, and said happily, “Xiaoxiao, we’re home.”

This brought Gao Xiaoxiao to her senses. She unbuckled her seatbelt before getting out of the car with him.

Throughout the trip back, she was like a little sidekick. She lowered her head and followed him without saying a word.

This villa was their new home. It had a modern style, with a color scheme of black, white, and gray. One look and one could tell that it was designed according to Han Zhen’s preferences.

The furniture and facilities were naturally high-end goods. Even an inconspicuous, small ashtray could have cost more than 10 thousand yuan.

In the hallway, Han Zhen placed the shopping bag on a cabinet shelf. “I have a meeting this afternoon.”

Gao Xiaoxiao could not wait to hear that. “Alright.”

Han Zhen reached out and patted her head like he was coaxing an obedient little girl. “Good girl, I’ll get going first. See you tonight.”

As soon as the white Bentley left the villa, Gao Xiaoxiao’s phone in her bag rang.

It was unavoidable.

She took her time to change into her pink Hello Kitty slippers, picked up her phone, chose the most comfortable position on the sofa, and pressed the answer button.

“Little Xiaoxiao, since when did you get involved with Han Zhen?” Gao Zhenning’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Gu Liqing told you?” Gao Xiaoxiao’s voice was calm.

Gao Zhenning paused for a moment before continuing, “Your sister cried very badly when she came back. She said that you snatched her boyfriend. Little Xiaoxiao, your sister is 27 years old this year. It isn’t easy for her to fall for a man. Can you…”

“She’s not my sister,” Gao Xiaoxiao interrupted her coldly. “Her surname is Gu and mine is Ye.”

Gao Zhenning sighed and backed off a little. “Alright, then can you not snatch Liqing’s boyfriend for mom’s sake, alright?”

Gao Xiaoxiao could not help but laugh out loud. “What a joke. If I remember correctly, we severed our mother-daughter ties three years ago, right?”

Gao Zhenning fell silent.

Gao Xiaoxiao did not give her a chance to speak and hung up.

Gu Liqing really thought that she was Han Zhen’s girlfriend… Gao Xiaoxiao felt angry and amused.

She glanced at the time. It was already past 12 o’clock.

She walked into the bedroom to change out of her dress and rushed out again.

She bought the latest model of a child’s phone at a nearby mall and hailed a taxi to Cuiyuan Estate.

She had thought that a table of steaming hot dishes would greet her. To her surprise, when she opened the door, there was only Xiaobai in the room.

The lonely little boy was holding an equally lonely bolster in his arms and watching cartoons listlessly on the sofa.
