Chapter 61: The Jade Bracelet
At 4 p.m. on the 26th of the lunar month, the annual year-end gathering of the Emperor Group was held on the top floor of Block B of the Nine Heavens.
In previous years, Wen Liao attended with Emperor Jiuxiao, but today, the person standing next to Emperor Jiuxiao was replaced by Mu Xueran, some people were surprised, some people were pleased, and some people were jealous, but more of them were amazing.
Mu Xue dyed an off-white waist-cinching long skirt, and her broken hair was braided into a pigtail pinned behind her ears, which was refreshing and neat.
The already delicate facial features are slightly highlighted and shadowed, making it appear more three-dimensional. The appropriate shade of willow eyebrows slightly elongates the tail, highlighting a little curvature, coupled with low-key earthy eyeshadows, the temperament has also become soft, with a vibrant orange lipstick, a wonderful collision, charming and comfortable.
And the emperor Jiuxiao next to him, combed his bangs back, revealing a smooth forehead, simple, clean and neat and handsome, and better presenting his capable and handsome facial features, he is still a high-caliber black suit, mature and stable.
One black and one white, great contrast, and extremely harmonious.
Even though everyone was curious about Mu Xueran's identity, no one dared to come forward to ask.
After the opening dance, Emperor Jiuxiao gave a New Year's message, and most employees could probably only witness the true face of their president on this day, so when Emperor Jiuxiao came to the stage, everyone gathered in front of the stage.
Mu Xueran didn't like the crowd, and retreated to the corner to look at the tall and handsome man on the stage from a distance.
I can't help but sigh that time flies so fast, she met him for the first time at the end of last year in City A, when they were still strangers, and he was just a passerby for her.
Who would have thought that he would be a friend of my uncle, and they would see each other again.
Who would have thought that he would already have feelings for her at that time, and the high-ranking president of the emperor would also play carefully, enter her life little by little, and slowly conquer her heart little by little.
Is it love? Mu Xueran didn't know, she only knew that she was used to having the company of Emperor Jiuxiao by her side, and she wanted to go on with him for a long time.
The four eyes met, each other's hearts collapsed, and tenderness flowed, as if there were only two of them in the entire hall.
The little transparent people in the audience saw the corner of their president's mouth with a smile, his eyebrows were soft, and he was shocked in his heart, so weird!
After Emperor Jiuxiao stepped down, he couldn't wait to hug her into his arms, "What was Mu Mu thinking just now?"
Mu Xueran put down the champagne in her hand, sorted out the slightly wrinkled tie for him, and said honestly: "I just feel that time flies so fast." ”
Emperor Jiuxiao raised her eyebrows, it was indeed fast, thinking of the party in early September, she was still a stranger in her eyes.
"Mu Mu wants to stay with me all the time. ”
"Good. ”
The poor weak and helpless Wen Tezhu watched his boss show his sweet show of affection, and he could only toss and turn between several partners alone, saying polite words that had not changed for thousands of years, and it was a "sad and bitter".
Xu was a little hungry, maybe the dessert fruit plate on the table was too tempting, Mu Xue ran it while eating, and did not forget to stuff two mouthfuls into Di Jiuxiao's mouth.
However, there are always some people who have no eyesight to interrupt this warm picture.
"Nine owls, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is your grandfather's health?"
The one who spoke was a little old man over half a hundred years old, with some gray hair, sparse, but cloudy eyes shining with fine light. Behind him was a young man in his twenties, who was also handsome, but his eyes were gloomy, his eye bags were a little blue, and his eyes were greedy and obsessive, but he hid them well.
Emperor Jiuxiao frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy to be disturbed, and his tone was light, "Third uncle, my grandfather is in good health. ”
"That's good," the little old man smiled, the folds on his face became more obvious, he glanced at the woman behind Emperor Jiuxiao, and said, "I don't know who this is?"
"My wife. A trace of tenderness crossed Emperor Jiuxiao's eyes, "Mu Mu, this is the third uncle." ”
Mu Xueran swallowed the strawberry in her mouth and said politely: "Third uncle." ”
The little old man was stunned, "Is the ninth owl married?"
"Yes. ”
"You kid, why don't you tell the clan about such a big thing. The little old man pretended to complain.
Emperor Jiuxiao looked at him coldly, and did not answer, a group of wall grasses eating inside and out, there was no need for her Mu Mu to know.
The little old man coughed lightly, pulled the man behind him, and said with a smile: "This is my grandson, Yaoguang, Yaoguang, this is your lobby brother." ”
Di Yaoguang said "um", very casually.
Emperor Jiuxiao chuckled in his heart, how could he not understand what his third uncle meant?
"That, Jiuxiao, Yaoguang just graduated from college this year, and he hasn't worked seriously yet, see if you can arrange him into your company, after all, it's a family, and you can take care of him. ”
The corners of Mu Xueran's mouth twitched, and she almost didn't laugh out loud, she had never seen such a brazen person.
Emperor Jiuxiao was still expressionless, "I entered the emperor with my own ability, and the company will recruit employees after the year, and I can help hand over a resume." ”
"This ...... You, a child, should be a face for the third uncle. ”
"As the president, I can't take the lead in breaking the rules, I hope the third uncle understands. ”
In a word, the little old man who blocked had nothing to say.
Emperor Jiuxiao didn't want to waste time with these inconsequential people anymore, so he looked helplessly at the cheerful little woman who was eating, and said softly: "Eat less fruits, it's cold, it's not good for your stomach, I'll take you out to eat?"
Mu Xueran's eyes widened slightly, and she nodded with a smile, "Hmm." ”
So, before the annual meeting was halfway through, the president of the emperor took the president's wife and slipped away.
"Emperor Jiuxiao, you... And the people of the emperor's family?" Mu Xueran asked tentatively.
Emperor Jiuxiao wrapped her small hand with his big hand, and said lightly: "That's what happened to grandpa and their generation, and I don't know the reason for it, I only know that grandpa was separated from the emperor's family, but the blood relationship is still there, and he occasionally walks around." ”
"Oh. Then you have me, and it's good to have the emperor's grandfather. ”
Looking at her bright smiling face, Di Jiuxiao's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but hug her in his arms and smell the fragrance on the top of her hair.
So, the gaze freezes.
Under the street lamp, the picture of a tall man and a petite woman embracing each other is so warm.
At this time, the silent night sky also began to fall sporadic snowflakes, adding a bit of romance to this scene.
Mu Xueran stretched out her hand to catch a small snowflake, and said in surprise: "Emperor Jiuxiao, it's snowing." ”
The latter rubbed her little head, pulled her coat together, and said softly, "Get in the car, it's cold outside." ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Jiu took Mu Xue to the old mansion.
Couplets are pasted on each door of the courtyard, the big blessing characters on the wall are upside down, and a few strings of small lanterns are also hung on several begonia trees, which are full of the breath of the year.
"Grandpa. ”
"The dyed girl is here, come and sit. ”
The old man of the emperor had a smile on his face, in the past, there were only him and Uncle Xu and Wu Ma during the New Year, and the emperor would come back occasionally, but his grandson had always been cold, and he had few words, so he didn't mean anything at all. With his granddaughter-in-law with him this year, the emperor is naturally happy.
"This has oranges and sweets. The emperor pushed the fruit bowl in front of Mu Xueran, and asked, "Are your parents willing to let you come over?"
Mu Xueran smiled, "Mommy said to let me accompany my grandfather more." ”
"When I have time after the New Year, let your parents come to Dongcheng, grandpa will have a treat, and discuss your marriage with Xiao Jiu. ”
Mu Xueran didn't expect the emperor to mention marriage, and looked at the emperor Jiuxiao with some confusion.
Emperor Jiuxiao understood and said, "Grandpa, Mu Mu is still in school, and there is no hurry about the wedding." ”
"Yes, anyway, the two of you have already received the certificate, when will you give me a little great-grandson to play. ”
Emperor Jiuxiao's heart suddenly, every time they didn't do anything, perhaps, her belly had already given birth to their child.
In fact, for the children, Emperor Jiuxiao has expectations, but he doesn't want to let the children disturb their lives so early.
Mu Xueran looked at the eyes of these two people falling on her stomach, a little embarrassed, she never thought that they would have children, and subconsciously looked at Emperor Jiuxiao for help.
Emperor Jiuxiao smiled dotingly, and said lightly: "Grandpa, Mu Mu is still young. ”
The old man sighed and said, "Let it be, I can't take care of the affairs of your little two." He looked at Mu Xueran again, "Dye girl, I heard that you went to country F some time ago?"
"Well, go to Fashion Week. Mu Xueran nodded.
"Oh, the dyed girl is also a costume designer?"
Mu Xueran didn't understand what "also" meant, but she didn't ask, and nodded, "Hmm." ”
The old man was curious, "Isn't dyeing girl a biology major?"
Mu Xueran smiled and explained, "I studied fashion design in Saint Martin in Y country before. ”
Emperor Jiuxiao couldn't help but show off, "Grandpa, Mu Mu is the chief designer of Thalia under The Graces. ”
The emperor was stunned, although he had withdrawn from the mall for many years, he had the habit of reading newspapers every day, The Graces was naturally no stranger, and then smiled: "Okay, good, my granddaughter-in-law is really amazing, haha......"
The old man laughed heartily, and said in his heart that his grandson was really lucky to marry such a good girl.
At dinner, I called Uncle Xu and Mother Wu, and this year there were Mu Xueran and Emperor Jiuxiao, which was much more lively than in previous years.
After the meal, the old man called Mu Xueran to the study.
The old man took out an old wooden box from the safe, stroked it gently with his old hand, and then handed it to Mu Xueran, "Dye girl, this was given to your grandmother by your great-grandmother at the beginning, and now your grandfather has passed it to you, keep it well." ”
Mu Xueran took it and opened it, and inside was a gold silk jade jade bracelet, she had studied jade, and she could see at a glance that it was worth a lot.
The elder gave it to him, and besides, it was given to his grandson's daughter-in-law by the emperor's old man, and Mu Xueran accepted it generously, "Thank you, grandpa." ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Dye girl, don't look at Xiao Jiu's usual coldness, but his conduct is absolutely fine, his feelings for you are in the eyes of grandpa, grandpa hopes that you two will have a good time, and add a big fat boy to my emperor's family as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm... Got it grandpa. Mu Xueran was a little embarrassed.
After that, everyone gathered around the table and watched the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings.
It was close to ten o'clock, and the old man finally couldn't stay up and went upstairs to rest. Mu Xueran and Emperor Jiuxiao also did not have the habit of keeping the New Year, and the two of them watched the show for a while and went back to the room.
