Because Xiaoman's mother killed Xiaoman's father by mistake in self-defense and was imprisoned, Xiaoman is legally an orphan, and he was deprived of Xiaoman's custody for life because his mother broke the law.

"Old Tang, Xiaoman, this girl is very good, you can accept it as a granddaughter." Mr. Gong said to the housekeeper.

"Sir, this ......" the butler hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"Old Tang, thanks to you all these years, when Zhaojun left, he didn't leave a son or daughter for you, but you paid all your thoughts to the Gong family, I'm really ashamed of you!" Mr. Gong said regretfully.

"Master, don't say that, this is what I should do, if you hadn't kept me back then, maybe Zhaojun wouldn't have been able to bury me." Mr. Butler said gratefully.

"Old Tang, even if you help me, you can see Nian Hao's dependence on Xiaoman, for the sake of the future, you can accept Xiaoman." Mr. Gong made it clear that he knew that some things needed to be planned in advance.

"Master, you are tormenting me! I also like Xiaoman's child, you said so, then let Xiaoman be my granddaughter! The housekeeper heard the words of the old man and nodded in agreement.

Since then, Xiaoman has become the granddaughter of the housekeeper and officially moved into the palace house.

Xiao Man, who lives in the palace house, follows Gong Nianhao all the time, and Gong Nianhao has never been bored with this, and happily lets Xiao Man in and out of his room.

The children's feelings are so accumulated day by day, and it is difficult to separate. Under the arrangement of Mr. Gong Lao, Xiaoman studied in the private aristocratic college where Gong Nianhao studied, but due to the age difference, Gong Nianhao and Xiaoman are two levels apart, and the classrooms are not too far apart, about four floors.

However, this incident made Gong Nianhao very dissatisfied.

"Brother, my classmates asked me to go to their house to play today, I can't go home with you today." Tang Xiaoman took the arm of his classmate Zhao Xiaoli and said to Gong Nianhao after school.

Gong Nianhao looked at the excited Xiao Man in front of him, squinted at the classmates standing next to Xiao Man, a pretentious girl, and threw flattering eyes at herself from time to time, however, Xiao Man, who was immersed in a happy mood, did not notice this matter, Gong Nianhao sneered softly.

"Hmph~ Xiaoman, you have to think clearly! Make your favorite Japanese food at home today! There is fresh salmon! Gong Nianhao seduced the simple Xiaoman.

"Hmm... However, we made an appointment first. Xiaoman looked at Zhao Xiaoli beside him tangledly.

Zhao Xiaoli said in embarrassment: "It's okay, Xiaoman, although I have already told my mother that I want to cook more for one person, but if you want to go home, it doesn't matter, after all, our family is just a home-cooked dish, and you may not be used to eating it." ”

"No, no, Xiaoli, I didn't mean that." Xiaoman explained to Zhao Xiaoli urgently, for fear that Zhao Xiaoli would think too much.

"Brother, I'm still not going back, I'll be with you next time. Then let's go first..."Xiao Man pulled Zhao Xiaoli towards the bus stop.

Gong Nianhao looked at their departing backs and clenched his fists.

Since going to school, Xiaoman doesn't seem to be his alone, and anyone has priority over him, and it feels really bad to not have Xiaoman in front of him. Gong Nianhao pondered in the car home, his face was gloomy, and his dissatisfaction was boiling in his heart.

When he got home, Gong Nianhao did not say hello to the old man as before, but pulled a face and returned to his room with a heavy heart. He threw everything in front of him in displeasure, and after a moment of venting, he sat down on the edge of the wall, looking at everything messy in front of him with a blank face.

"Old Tang, what's going on?" The old man of the palace was outside the door of Gong Nianhao's room, worried, but he didn't dare to disturb easily.

"Master, it seems that because Xiaoman went to the same school, the young master just..."

"Old Tang, did you make a mistake by letting Xiaoman live in the first place?" Mr. Gong frowned and asked.

"It's... Master, let them deal with the young people's affairs, we can only wait and see, and we can't intervene! Steward Tang suggested.

"Yes, the child is older, and it can't help it! Let them go! Mr. Gong sighed and went downstairs with the housekeeper.

And Tang Xiaoman, who is in Zhao Xiaoli's house, is a little like pins and needles. “

"Xiaoman, Xiaoman, what does your brother like to eat? How old is he? What kind of girls does she like? Zhao Xiaoli kept asking.

"Well, I don't know, my brother doesn't particularly like to eat, he's 16 years old now, but I really don't know what kind of girl he likes." Tang Xiaoman reported everything in detail, but his chest was stuffy and a little uncomfortable.

Why is that? Xiao Man clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped his chest, lowering his eyebrows and thinking.

"Did your brother ever have a girlfriend? Do you think I can? Zhao Xiaoli was not shy at all and asked Tang Xiaoman.

The chopsticks in Xiaoman's hand fell to the table with a "bang-" sound, she picked up the chopsticks in a panic, and she didn't know how to answer Zhao Xiaoli's question for a while.

"Ahem..."Xiao Man subconsciously coughed twice, trying to keep his composure, "This ...... I don't know. Xiao Man said prevaricatingly, looking at Zhao Xiaoli uneasily.

Zhao Xiaoli didn't care too much about Xiaoman's performance, Zhao Xiaoli said disappointedly: "I originally wanted to say that I could get some news from your mouth, really, why don't you know anything?" ”

Xiao Man lowered his head, looked at the unfinished rice in front of him, and was silent.

Zhao Xiaoli looked at Tang Xiaoman, who was silent in front of her, and smiled fakely: "Xiaoman, it's okay!" I don't blame you, it's just... Can I ask you for something? “

Tang Xiaoman raised his head, looked at her suspiciously, and was silent.

Zhao Xiaoli's eyes shone with a sly light: "Can you please introduce me to your brother?" “

Tang Xiaoman was stunned, she didn't know how to react anymore, how did she answer? How did she get in the car? She couldn't remember anything, she only knew that Zhao Xiaoli told her: "I want to be your brother's girlfriend, then please leave it to you!" “

When Tang Xiaoman came back to her senses, she had already come to the door of Gong Nianhao's room, she didn't know what she was going to do? She's just hesitant to find someone to discuss a countermeasure about this matter, but the protagonist is him, what to say?

Tang Xiaoman hesitated for a long time and decided to go to Mr. Gong, she knew that if she found Gong Nianhao in this matter, then something would change between them, but that change was not what she wanted.

No one knew that when Gong Nianhao rescued her from those children, she fell in love with him, although she was a child, but that feeling was still deep, it was an emotion that wanted to rely on, wanted to get all his attention, and wanted to be with him forever.

She never told anyone, she just silently followed Gong Nianhao, quietly in front of his gentle, obedient, and sensible sister, but she never thought that anyone would want to intervene between them. Sure enough, such feelings are not okay, right?

Xiao Man came to the door of Mr. Gong's room, knocked lightly on the door, and then waited for instructions.

"Come in—" Mr. Gong's angry voice came from the door.

"Squeak-" Xiao Man leaned over and slowly stood in.

"What's wrong? "Mr. Gong smiled kindly, looking at this girl who was becoming more and more energetic.

Xiao Man wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing where to start.

"Come, Xiaoman, don't stand there, come to my side." Mr. Gong patted the position next to him and motioned for Xiaoman to come to his side.

"Grandpa Gong......" Xiao Man came to Mr. Gong's side as instructed, hesitating whether to say anything about it.

"Xiaoman, if you think clearly, you just tell Grandpa Gong that things are always in your heart, and it's not good." Mr. Gong induced softly.

Xiao Man looked at the kind old man in front of him and brought the doubts in his heart together.

"Xiaoman, do you like Nian Hao?" Mr. Gong asked patiently.

Xiao Man nodded solemnly, looked firmly into Mr. Gong's eyes and replied: "Grandpa, I have always liked him since the day Nian Hao rescued me, and this relationship has increased day by day as we get along day and night, and I am willing to stay by his side all the time, unless he doesn't want me anymore." ”

Mr. Gong looked at the determined girl in front of him, nodded solemnly, he reached out and stroked Xiao Mandi's head, and said, "Since you like him so much, then why do you want to push him to others?" ”

"Xiaoman, since Nian Hao's father had an accident, he has never asked me for anything, except for you. I won't meddle too much in matters between you, however, I have a request that I hope you will agree to. Mr. Gong looked at Xiao Man and said.

"Grandpa Gong, you are my relatives, I will agree with whatever you say." Xiaoman promised.

"Nian Hao, this child, he is a very stubborn, unyielding child, but emotionally very fragile, although, he has no performance now, but I can't guarantee that in the future, there will be anything wrong with him. Xiaoman, I beg you, you must love him well and soothe his heartache with love. May I? Mr. Gong asked.

"I will." Xiao Man nodded, "I will try to love him, unless he doesn't want me anymore, otherwise I will always stay by his side." ”

Xiaoman until Gong Nianhao and she are also injured children, although she doesn't know that Gong Nianhao is so reluctant to trust people for the time being, but she believes that one day she will know.

"Grandpa Gong, don't worry, I will protect him." Xiaoman promised.

Mr. Gong nodded with satisfaction.

This year, Gong Nianhao was 18 years old and 16 years younger.
