Chapter 1601: Held in the Palm of the Hand

Seeing her good friend's disappointed expression, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, so she leaned over and looked inside the box.

And with that look, she took out a scented candle and said, "Cheng Hao didn't prepare this one, so I can keep it for myself."

Jiang Baobao could see that this was Xu Xiaoxiao's way of comforting her.

But upon seeing the candle, Jiang Baobao thought of something, sat up straight, and said, "There's a candle holder inside, too; it's for holding the candle."

Xu Xiaoxiao searched for a bit and actually found a candle holder.

It was just that this thing was quite heavy, and it took both of Xu Xiaoxiao's hands working together to take it out.

Afterward, she placed it on the table and examined it closely.

This candle holder was golden and brilliant, yet not at all ostentatious.

On it, complex patterns were also carved.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at it for a while and couldn't help but praise, "The relief work on this is beautiful!"

Jiang Baobao could tell that Xu Xiaoxiao truly liked it.

This finally gave her a bit of comfort.

At the same time, she became interested and introduced, "I know an artist; he made this by hand."

"That's amazing!"

"It is quite amazing, it's just that he doesn't have much fame for now. But I have a feeling that within five years, he will definitely make a name for himself!"

Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Then I can't use this candle holder; I have to collect it. Who knows, it might appreciate in value later."

Watching her like that, Jiang Baobao laughed and said, "If you want to use it, just use it. With my uncle, are you still worried about money?"

Who would have thought, upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao explained very seriously, "Even if I am with your uncle, I am not living by relying on him. I have my own plans."

Hmm, that's true; Xu Xiaoxiao is a very independent person. Liking someone is one thing, but she could never be dependent.

Jiang Baobao used to wonder what kind of boyfriend a girl as clear-headed and cool as Xu Xiaoxiao would find.

Never expected...

In the end, she found her uncle.

This fate is really hard to say.

However, at this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao is no longer the way she was when they first met.

Her hair has grown very fast, reaching her shoulders.

Jiang Baobao tilted her head to examine her for a while, then suggested, "Let's go get a hairstyle."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't seem very interested and replied, "No need for a hairstyle, just cutting it short is fine."

"You look very good with short hair, but aren't you tired of always having short hair?"

"Not at all, it's convenient."

"But if your hair is longer, you can do different styles. Every style has a different charm, and also..."

Jiang Baobao didn't continue directly.

She waited for Xu Xiaoxiao to lift her eyes to look at her before smiling and saying, "Long hair paired with a wedding dress looks even more graceful."

A wedding dress?

Xu Xiaoxiao was caught off guard and didn't understand why Jiang Baobao would bring up a wedding dress.

Thinking for a moment...

Xu Xiaoxiao understood!

She even blushed and chided, "Oh, what are you saying!"

Jiang Baobao knew that Xu Xiaoxiao understood.

She smiled and then said, "Of course, wearing a wedding dress with short hair is fine too. When it comes to marriage, you make your own decisions, and we will definitely give our blessings."

"Alright, alright, there isn't even a shadow of a plan yet, stop talking nonsense!"

"That's not right, I'm just saying it early, not talking nonsense. Who knows, one day you two might suddenly give us a surprise!"

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved her hands, her tone firm: "That won't happen!"

She had never thought about getting married that early.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao's relationship is sweet.

And they are free and easy, how wonderful!

Since everything in front of her is so good, why change it?

Jiang Baobao could more or less see Xu Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

But she only kept a smile on her lips and didn't say anything more.

The Jiang Baobao of the past also had similar thoughts.

But well...

Times change.

She just feared that when the time came, Xu Xiaoxiao would be the one in a hurry.

The smile on Jiang Baobao's lips deepened.

The look in her eyes as she watched Xu Xiaoxiao was also very suggestive.

Xu Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Afterward, she simply stood up and invited, "Come to my room and sit for a while, and by the way, come see what you want to drink."

Jiang Baobao still felt it was strange, thinking, shouldn't she let the servants prepare whatever they want to drink?

Why go to Xu Xiaoxiao's room?

However, when Jiang Baobao arrived at Xu Xiaoxiao's bedroom, she understood everything.

She stared at the double-door refrigerated display cabinet in the bedroom, stunned for a long while.

Then she murmured: "Have you moved a supermarket into your bedroom?"

There are way too many drinks and snacks in here!

If the few darlings at home saw this, they would be thrilled!

Jiang Baobao was shocked and puzzled.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and explained: "Cheng Hao was worried that since I just arrived, I might be too shy to say what I want to eat, so he just put them here."

Although Xu Xiaoxiao explained it in just a few words.

Jiang Baobao could still feel the deep affection within them.

Also, this is so thoughtful; it is something even Jiang Baobao has never experienced!

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but sigh, then murmured: "You really are being held in the palm of your uncle's hand."

This assessment made Xu Xiaoxiao feel sweet inside.

But she was also a bit shy.

She felt embarrassed to keep talking about this topic with her friend, so she opened the cabinet and asked: "What would you like to eat?"

Jiang Baobao felt that the things in the cabinet were all very tempting.

Unfortunately...

She waved her hand and said: "No, it's too cold."

Xu Xiaoxiao reacted for a moment before remembering that Jiang Baobao was still breastfeeding and indeed could not eat cold things.

Since these things were not suitable, Xu Xiaoxiao had Sister Zhang bring some fruit.

Sister Zhang was quick and efficient; she not only brought fruit but also served fruit tea.

As soon as she saw the fruit tea, Xu Xiaoxiao thought of what Liu Xin'ai had said.

Immediately, she asked with a smile: "I heard from Xin'ai that you are organizing a health-conscious gathering?"

"Mm, it has already been held."

It has already been held?

Jiang Baobao said it lightly and casually.

But Xu Xiaoxiao was extremely curious!

She took the initiative to pour a cup of fruit tea for Jiang Baobao, then asked: "So what was the result? Are Li Beijue's friends all preparing to cut ties with him?"

Jiang Baobao did not answer directly, but suddenly smiled.

That smile was full of meaning!

Xu Xiaoxiao was dying of curiosity!

She hurriedly pressed: "What happened again?"

"It's nothing much, just that on the day Beijue invited his friends, I was also at the scene and saw those people dumbfounded the moment they walked in."

"But I only stayed for a while, then made an excuse to connect with those men's wives and got their contact information."

"Very quickly, I created a group chat and sent over some photos I took at the scene."

"At first, everyone was exchanging polite pleasantries, but once they saw the photos, the group chat became lively, with everyone saying this method is good and that they should take turns hosting in the future so they can have a good catch-up!"

After saying this, Jiang Baobao took a sip of the fruit tea and couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious!"

Although Jiang Baobao had obtained the recipe and followed the steps in the recipe to make it.

It just lacked a certain something compared to what Sister Zhang made.

In a little while, she would have to ask Sister Zhang for some pointers.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was beside her, was still in a state of shock.
