Chapter 1492: A Gift of Extraordinary Significance

Tiantian was stirred by a competitive spirit and dragged Xu Xiaoxiao away.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chenghao stood where he was, looking a bit out of the loop.

Hmm...

That little girl was clearly being incredibly stubborn just a moment ago.

How did Xu Xiaoxiao manage to persuade her in just a few words?

Jiang Chenghao was very curious, so he decided to go out and see the situation.

And with that look, he saw the big one and the small one, who had returned with fresh flowers, sitting on the steps, quietly weaving flower crowns for each other.

By now, the night was deep, and the moonlight draped over them, pouring out warmth.

Jiang Chenghao felt this scene was very beautiful; he did not disturb them, but simply folded his arms, leaned against a pillar, and watched quietly.

Before long, the two of them had finished weaving their flower crowns one after the other.

They critiqued each other's flower crowns, and then Tiantian happily took her flower crown and ran back to the banquet hall.

At this moment, Jiang Chenghao walked to Xu Xiaoxiao's side and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so good at communicating with children."

Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, and while toying with the flower crown in her hand, she said, "That's because Tiantian is sensible."

"You are also very sensible."

This assessment...

Made Xu Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.

Her smile left Jiang Chenghao a bit bewildered, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you acting so old-fashioned? And complimenting me on being sensible—even my mom has never said that to me!"

The more Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the funnier it felt, until her stomach hurt from laughing.

Jiang Chenghao, however, was left feeling somewhat at a loss by her laughter.

He scratched the back of his head, and in the end, he said nothing, just followed along and laughed with Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at him and discovered that the man at this moment was actually a bit... goofy.

This discovery made Xu Xiaoxiao feel surprised.

She reined in her smile and stared at Jiang Chenghao.

And this stare,

Made Jiang Chenghao ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... nothing."

Xu Xiaoxiao did not explain, but instead took a step ahead and walked back to the banquet hall.

Jiang Chenghao followed closely behind, and then... he noticed something.

He even nudged Xu Xiaoxiao, signaling her to look ahead.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Jiang Baobao not far away, exchanging pleasantries with someone.

But on her head, there was an extra flower crown.

That flower crown... was clearly the one Tiantian had just made.

To be honest, the flower crown didn't quite match Jiang Baobao's current attire.

But Jiang Baobao, wearing the flower crown, had a face full of happy smiles.

That smile was truly more precious than any jewelry.

Watching his family member happy, Jiang Chenghao felt his heart filled to the brim.

Afterward, he looked at the person beside him again...

Jiang Chenghao's lips moved, wanting to say "thank you."

But thinking of how Xu Xiaoxiao didn't like hearing him say thank you, Jiang Chenghao swallowed those two words back.

His gaze landed once more on the flower crown in Xu Xiaoxiao's hand.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can you give that to me?"

"Which one, the flower crown?"

"Mm."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Jiang Chenghao wanted this, but she still generously handed the flower crown over.

Jiang Chenghao took the flower crown and brought it to his nose to smell it.

There was a faint floral scent.

Then, he slipped the flower crown onto his wrist.

Seeing this action, Xu Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"You saw how happy Baobao was when she wore the flower crown; now that I'm wearing one too, maybe I'll be very happy as well."

This explanation...

Made Xu Xiaoxiao sigh helplessly, and she reminded him, "Baobao is happy because she received a gift from her daughter, but what about you? Did you receive a gift from a daughter too?"

After saying

this, Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.

She felt like she had voluntarily offered herself up to let someone take advantage of her!

Fortunately, Jiang Chenghao didn't think too much into it.

Instead, he explained his thoughts very earnestly: "This is a gift from a good friend, it has extraordinary significance."

Good... friend?

This answer made Xu Xiaoxiao happy, yet also not happy.

She shook her head and decided not to talk about this topic anymore.

Seeing a celebrity not far ahead, Xu Xiaoxiao decided to go find the celebrity to take a photo!

And Jiang Chenghao...

He was naturally called over to help take the photo!

While helping take the photo, there was a relaxation on Jiang Chenghao's face that he himself had not even noticed.

Monday, inside the school office—

Xu Xiaoxiao did not arrive early, but she still took the initiative to greet her colleagues.

Although Xu Xiaoxiao would greet everyone on ordinary days, everyone could clearly feel that today, Xu Xiaoxiao...

Was in a very good mood.

Someone then laughed and said, "When others come to work on Monday, it's like going to a funeral, but Xiao Xiao is actually very happy."

Xu Xiaoxiao's lips moved, preparing to say something.

But Wang Sinian beat her to it: "There was a special event over the weekend, so her mood is naturally very good; I'm afraid she is still reminiscing about it right now."

These words with ulterior motives immediately drew an eye-roll from Xu Xiaoxiao.

She hated Wang Sinian more and more now, feeling that as long as this person was around, she had to be in a state of combat at all times.

It was truly exhausting both physically and mentally.

However, Wang Sinian's words immediately stirred up everyone else's gossip-loving hearts.

They pestered Xu Xiaoxiao, asking, "What kind of event?"

"It was just... attending a charity banquet, and there were celebrities there too."

Xu Xiaoxiao avoided the important points and successfully diverted everyone's attention.

【This line is a continuation of the previous one in the source text, but per instructions, I am outputting it as a separate line.】

Everyone began to ask which celebrities were at the event.

Xu Xiaoxiao not only answered with their names but also showed everyone the photos she took with the celebrities.

This made everyone envious to death!

However, while looking, someone discovered something and said to the others, "Xiao Xiao, you look very pretty when you wear a dress!"

"Oh my, don't say it, it's really true; you weren't even overshadowed by the celebrities!"

"Xiao Xiao, you really should dress up properly, otherwise you're wasting such a good foundation."

The crowd chattered away, while Wang Sinian deduced something from the photos: "So you went to attend the Li Family's banquet."

Xu Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear what this guy was saying.

But Wang Sinian continued on his own: "Actually, I had an invitation card too; if I had known you were there, I would have gone."

These words were truly terrifying!

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately turned her head back and said with a look of rejection: "It's a good thing you didn't go; I managed to spend a peaceful evening!"

"Your words are truly hurtful!"

"Alright, alright, sit back in your seat, I need to work!"

Xu Xiaoxiao pushed Wang Sinian away, and the others also returned to their seats one after another.

Mondays are always busy, and everyone had a lot of work on their hands.

For a time, no one spoke in the office.

Xu Xiaoxiao was also immersed in her work.

However, in the gaps between work, she looked up and secretly glanced at Wang Sinian, who was slacking off.

In order to suppress Wang Sinian, Xu Xiaoxiao had been secretly investigating his background.

And with this investigation, she actually managed to find something interesting!

It would be fine if Wang Sinian just stayed quiet.

But if he dared to fearlessly seek out Xu Xiaoxiao...

Then Xu Xiaoxiao would make this guy have a run of terrible luck!

Thinking of the trump card in her

hands, Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, a sinister smile hanging on her face.
