cast a peach

Chapter 96

"Have you learned?"

After the tenderness, Tan Mingli smiled and kissed Zhao Guangshui, and said in a solemn and low voice, "Remember, Xiaoshui. These are knowledge points, and I will test you in the future."

The constriction and teasing in her tone were too obvious, which made Zhao Guangshui's ears flush with shame. She knew that her rank was not as high as Sister Li's, so when she told her, she would just wrap herself in. She simply surrendered and hid in her arms. beg for mercy:

"Oh! Sister, stop talking...I'm so ashamed."

Suddenly thought of something, Zhao Guangshui raised his face all of a sudden, bit his lips, thought and thought, hesitantly took Tan Mingli's hand, and asked in a serious and embarrassing whisper, "You...do you dislike me? Not very good at technology?"

She was very nervous, for fear that the experience she would bring to Sister Li was not good enough.

"..."

Tan Mingli was stunned for a second or two, then burst out laughing.

Xiao Shui has been thinking about something wonderful all day long, and every time it makes her very unexpected.

She couldn't help laughing, touched the girl's ear, and whispered while recalling:

"No, Xiao Shui. You're actually not bad, really, maybe it's because... feelings are greater than skills?"

what!Isn't this still saying that she is not good enough!

To put it so tactfully... Are you taking care of her self-esteem?Zhao Guangshui became depressed by himself, and gently squeezed Tan Mingli's fingers, "Bad guy."

"Is there? I'm a decent person."

Tan Mingli shook her head with a smile, "I searched all over Jiangcheng, and there is no one more serious than me."

Zhao Guangshui snorted, expressing his disbelief.

"Ah, yes, sister Pear."

She suddenly remembered that there was one more important thing to do, she pulled herself up again, stood up and said softly, "There is one more thing I haven't had time to tell you."

"I told Grandpa about our affairs."

She observed Tan Mingli's expression, and said softly.

Zhao Guangshui always looked very serious when talking about business, "It was just yesterday, after I met my father."

Tan Mingli's heart tightened: she didn't expect Xiao Shui to tell Zhao Hongliang so early.

She is not afraid of Tan Jingshan, and she was ready to deal with her grandfather's accountability and pressure when she was determined to get Xiaoshui back. It can also be done without being surprised and without changing expressions.

But facing Zhao Hongliang alone, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

In the final analysis, under the current national conditions, even if she is the voice of the Tan family and the highest decision-making level of the Tan family, she still has no way to deal with Zhao Hongliang's thunderous anger.

She was not afraid of Zhao Hongliang himself, but she was very afraid that Zhao Hongliang would take Xiao Shui away from her.

Ever since she had Xiaoshui, she has had weakness and hesitation, and when everything comes to her, she can no longer retreat completely.

And Tan Mingli knew clearly that Zhao Hongliang could do this.

As long as he is willing to use some coercive means, he has plenty of ways to put pressure on her.

At that time, I am afraid that she will not be the only one who suffers, but the Tan family and even the Tan family itself. She will be the sinner of the Tan family.

Tan Mingli's thoughts were spinning all of a sudden, and she had begun to subconsciously recall the countermeasures she had thought of before, silently calculating various possibilities, but her face was still gentle and calm, neither showing eagerness and panic, nor blaming Zhao Guangshui, just nodded gently nodded, should:

"Really? That's good, Xiao Shui. What did Grandpa Zhao say?"

Zhao Guangshui noticed the tension under her calm expression, leaned close to her, held her hand tightly, and comforted her:

"It's okay... don't worry, sister pear."

"My grandpa acquiesced. He said let's go back to celebrate the New Year together this year."

Zhao Guangshui lowered his head and kissed the woman's collarbone to reassure her a little.

As if the hanging sword above his head finally fell, Tan Mingli felt his heart suddenly relax after hearing these words.

She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, suppressed her complicated thoughts and the panic of losing Xiaoshui just now in her imagination, hugged Zhao Guangshui tightly, kissed her ear, and said in a low voice:

"That's good...Xiao Shui, that's good."

For a moment, Tan Mingli even thought of the worst ending, and began to wonder if she could bring Xiaoshui abroad.

Of course she can leave everything behind—she doesn't care about domestic vanity fairs, but it's too much for Xiaoshui and Grandpa Zhao, and it's a last resort. One word for this plan.

Fortunately, Grandpa Zhao agreed, otherwise, she really didn't know what she could do.

Now that things were going on, it was impossible for her to let Xiao Shui go.

Unless Xiao Shui gave up on her by herself, she would never let go again.

Tan Mingli noticed the calm madness under her rationality, and she was faintly startled, but she didn't say much, she just hugged Zhao Guangshui a little tighter, and said thoughtfully:

"Grandpa Zhao can agree, it's really unexpected to me."

In her imagination and judgment, Zhao Hongliang was originally the biggest obstacle between her and Xiao Shui, but she never expected that he would acquiesce so easily, and he didn't even put her to the test, leaving her with some time to do it. Prepared to be at a loss.

"Actually, my grandfather was not a feudal person."

Zhao Guangshui laughed, thought for a while, and said softly, "He's just... um... more traditional."

Tan Mingli blinked in confusion: "Is there a difference between these two words?"

According to her understanding of Chinese, these two words express the same meaning.

Zhao Guangshui was amused by her rare confused expression, and thought she was so cute, rubbing her neck and whispering:

"Oh, the difference is actually not that big... In short, my grandfather is very rigid in some aspects, and very open-minded in some aspects. It's strange, right? But people seem to be like this, and it's quite contradictory."

"Also, grandpa should have been greatly influenced by what happened to my mother back then..."

When Zhao Zhihua was mentioned, Zhao Guangshui would still unconsciously look a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and said softly:

"Grandpa is afraid that I will be like my mother. If he doesn't agree, I will run away with you. He knows what I can do. It's better to be broken than to be whole. This is what he taught me."

"Ah, and in fact, the reason why my grandfather disagreed with my mother and father was not as everyone thought. It was because my father had no money and was a poor boy. After all, my family is not very short of money, so don't worry about it. .”

When Zhao Zhihua ran away with a man in the capital, it was a scandal of a well-known family that everyone kept secret. Zhao Guangshui didn't hide anything from Tan Mingli when he talked about it, and he didn't seem to be embarrassed by the venerable. She spoke very quietly and calmly, as if she was saying something An ordinary little thing.

"It's just that my grandfather doesn't like my father's behavior. He saw my father in the past and felt that he was weak, selfish, and not someone who could be entrusted to him for life. Compared with his family background, he always valued the other party's character. Precious and trustworthy, it's just that my mother had a bad relationship with him back then, and she really liked my father, so she was not rational, so they fell out in the end."

She concluded softly.

"Oh...so that's the case."

After listening to the girl's explanation, Tan Mingli suddenly realized.

Suddenly hearing the truth of the past, she was filled with emotion, touched her chin, and said softly, "Then it seems that Grandpa Zhao is very relieved of me?"

Zhao Hongliang personally rewarded her for her character back then. Of course, Grandpa has nothing to worry about, and he will not come here to make things difficult for her again.

Zhao Guangshui nodded with a smile, "Yes."

Tan Mingli smiled softly with a relaxed expression, and twitched a little, "Look, I just said that I am a decent person, even Grandpa Zhao can trust me so much. Don't you think so? Xiao Shui?"

"If my grandpa sees you bullying me like this now, he will be so angry that he will retract this sentence."

Seeing her happy, Zhao Guangshui couldn't help laughing and joked softly.

"How can I bully you?"

Now Tan Mingli didn't agree, she turned around and gently pinched her cheek, and said in a low voice, "At most, it's just a little bit on the bed..."

"Don't say it!"

Seeing that she was about to say dangerous words, Zhao Guangshui rang the alarm, covered her mouth with a blushing face, and glared at her fiercely, "You are bullying me now, do you know that?"

The girl pretending to be fierce was so cute. Seeing Tan Mingli's heart was sweet and soft, he pulled her over and kissed her a few times, and then he was satisfied, and said in her gentle and pampering voice:

"Understood, Chief Xiao Shui."

She closed her eyes and thought for a while, and decided that she would also put the matter of telling grandpa on the agenda.

In fact, she originally planned to wait a little longer and come out after she was ready, but Xiaoshui solved the problem far faster than she imagined. It was normal, and it was expected. Compared with the violent storm she had imagined before, it was unexpectedly smooth.

Now even Grandpa Zhao agreed, which gave her a new confidence and bargaining chip in her heart.

And... She really felt like she couldn't wait any longer.

The person who has always been the most stable and patient now for the first time doesn't want to wait any longer - she wants to be with Xiao Shui in a legitimate and open manner, and let their love receive everyone's approval and blessing.

"Xiao Shui, I'm going to... tell my grandpa about us in a few days."

Tan Mingli thought for a while, then pondered, "How do you feel before I go on a business trip to Hong Kong? Otherwise, it will take a long time for me to come back."

Zhao Guangshui didn't understand Tan Jingshan's temperament and style of doing things, so he was taken aback when he heard that, he held her hand worriedly, and asked nervously, "Sister, will Grandpa Tan agree?"

When she came out to Zhao Hongliang, she spoke very calmly, but when Tan Mingli wanted to talk, she couldn't help but get nervous and her heart pounded.

"Actually, if it doesn't work, you don't have to say it..."

After thinking about it, fearing that she would be under too much pressure, Zhao Guangshui added sincerely, "I don't mind, Sister Li. I—"

"But I don't mind, Xiao Shui."

Tan Mingli interrupted her rarely, and said softly.

"I hope you can be with me openly, instead of avoiding problems because you are afraid of pressure, ignoring your own responsibilities, and letting you endure things that you don't have to go through at all."

She gently stroked the girl's face, and looked at her with a deep and serious expression, but her tone was firm, "I don't want you to suffer any grievances, Xiao Shui."

Her girl, her little star, should have the best everything in the world, and there is no reason why she should be wronged after falling in love with her——in that case, what would her girlfriend be?

"Don't worry about me, Xiao Shui."

Tan Mingli lowered his face and kissed her, and said softly, "My grandfather doesn't care if I like a woman or a man, don't worry, just sleep well, okay?"

Grandpa only cares about the interests of the Tan family and the Tan family. As for who she likes, grandpa will not interfere.

Of that, she was sure.
