Chapter 228 Only I think it's a secret
The white sports car sped like lightning on the road to the ancient city.
Xu Hongdou was wearing a gorgeous pink dress, which was cut perfectly to fit her graceful figure.
She wore a pair of fashionable sunglasses that covered her lively eyes, but added a bit of mysterious charm.
Her long hair danced in the wind, smooth as silk and sparkling with a black luster.
From time to time, Chen An would secretly glance at Xu Hongdou's beautiful legs out of the corner of his eye. Although they were covered a lot by the long skirt, they still had a unique charm.
Although Xu Hongdou was listening to the song, looking at the surrounding scenery, and taking pictures with her camera, she still couldn't hide Chen An's little action from her. She was proud under her sunglasses. "You've revealed your fox tail, stinky brother. I've dressed up specially, can't I attract you, a little puppy? I've been the white moonlight for three generations, isn't it in vain?"
Chen An had already prepared a speech to respond to Xu Hongdou's questions, but this girl tried to trick him. Who are you looking down on? When it comes to playing dumb, I'm a professional. Let's see, are you more curious, or am I, Liu Xiahui's younger brother, Liu Xia Chong, who has better self-control?
After arriving at the ancient city, they went to the hospital to remove the stitches.
The doctor carefully examined his wound and found that it was recovering very well and there would most likely be no obvious scar. Xu Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief. If a big scar was left, although Chen An wouldn't care, she would still feel uncomfortable.
After leaving the hospital, the two strolled around the ancient city of Dali together, strolling along the quaint streets, and soon they found a children's clothing store selling special clothing.
The store is filled with all kinds of beautiful clothes in colorful and novel styles.
Xu Hongdou was immediately attracted by the local ethnic style skirt, the exquisite embroidery and unique patterns, which were eye-catching.
"How about this one?" Xu Hongdou asked Chen An, holding a blue embroidered dress.
Chen An didn't know much about these, but when he saw the exquisite patterns on them, he nodded and praised: "Your taste is much better than mine..."
Xu Hongdou walked around the store, stopping from time to time to take a look at something. Chen An was more interested in the various small ornaments on the side. Not long after, when the two came out of the store, they were already holding a lot of bags in their hands...
Continuing to stroll along the streets of the ancient city, they also bought some local snacks and handicrafts, which they would bring to the Magic City. Of course, Chen An would add a little more, and bring some to Guan Juer...
At noon, they found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes. The restaurant was filled with the faint aroma of food, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Hongdou, have you told Sister Hongmi?" Chen An was the first to break the silence.
Xu Hongdou looked embarrassed, touched her nose, and said uncomfortably: "Well... I haven't figured out how to start..."
Seeing Xu Hongdou's evasive look, Chen An frowned slightly and stared at Xu Hongdou closely, "Because of the resignation, right?"
Xu Hongdou stuck out her tongue in frustration and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah, I haven't told them yet..."
Chen An looked at Xu Hongdou and couldn't help but chuckle. He shook his head and said, "Sister Doudou, do you think that with your little trick, you can deceive uncle and aunt, and can you hide it from Sister Hongmi?"
"Ah? What do you mean?" Xu Hongdou widened her eyes, a look of confusion and surprise on her face.
"It's unreasonable for someone who is about to be promoted to suddenly take a few months off, right?" Chen An shrugged and spread his hands.
Xu Hongdou's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Are you saying that my sister already knew that I resigned?"
"If you don't believe me, try it yourself..." Chen An pursed his lips, motioning Xu Hongdou to go and verify it.
Xu Hongdou picked up her phone, checked the time, and then sent a video to Xu Hongmi.
Soon, the video was connected, and Xu Hongmi said jokingly with a smile on her face: "Oh, it's rare, I thought he was having so much fun that he forgot about me, his sister."
Xu Hongdou saw Chen An laughing at the side, frowned slightly, and retorted with a little anger and dissatisfaction: "Hey, Xu Hongmi, do you have a conscience? Which of the tea leaves and flower cakes is missing from you?"
"Yes, yes, thank you my dear sister, is that okay?" Xu Hongmi responded with a smile, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"That's more like it..." Xu Hongdou adjusted the camera and said with a smile, "Look, these are all what I bought for Lingling. I tell you, the embroidery on this skirt is really beautiful, and these small pendants are also nice..."
Seeing her sister's eyes sparkling and her face full of excitement showing off, getting more and more excited, Xu Hongmi quickly stopped her and asked suspiciously, "Something's wrong. What's wrong with you today? Do you have something to say? Why are you still using this trick with me?"
"Hey, you're going too far. As an aunt, isn't it normal for me to buy something for the child?" Xu Hongdou raised her voice, looking a little anxious.
"Come on, I would believe you if you said you bought food and toys for the child, but clothes? Think about it, when have you ever bought them for her?" Xu Hongmi curled her lips and crossed her arms over her chest.
Xu Hongdou blushed, and without beating around the bush, she asked tentatively, "Sister, what do you think if I start my own business?"
Seeing the expectation in Xu Hongdou's eyes, Xu Hongmi teased with a hint of surprise and curiosity, "Didn't you ask for leave to go out and play, Director Xu? Why did you suddenly think of starting a business?"
"Sure enough, you knew it a long time ago, right?" Xu Hongdou widened her eyes, looking helpless.
"What you said is all nonsense. Tell me yourself, have you been home for the New Year three times in all these years in Beijing? You suddenly asked for a few months off to go out and play. Who do you think would believe this?" Xu Hongmi rolled her eyes with a serious expression.
"Ah, my parents know about it too?" Xu Hongdou's expression suddenly became very interesting, her mouth slightly opened, with a look of astonishment.
"Yes, Xiaogang went to Beijing and went straight to the hotel where you worked, but they told him that you had already resigned." Xu Hongmi sighed helplessly.
Xu Hongdou's expression suddenly became very interesting. She was the only one who knew her feelings and felt that she had done a good job of keeping the secret.
