Chapter 225 [Irresistible Sweetness 024]

On the day they went to the Xiao family's birthday banquet, Shu Yang and his mother brought Shu Tang and little Xiao Xiao along.

Her second sister-in-law is pregnant and her second brother won't even let her go to work. He definitely won't agree to let her go to banquets or other crowded places.

Shu's mother would definitely not agree.

As for her older brother, he was too busy at the hospital to come.

The Xiao family's birthday banquet was held in a manor with beautiful scenery. There was an artificial lake to the south and a path lined with plane trees on both sides.

To the west is a vineyard, with several Gothic buildings connected in the middle, and a particularly large fountain.

There are many guests today.

Anyway, when Shu Tang and the others arrived, the manor's parking lot was packed, and the entrance was crowded with people in layers.

As they drew closer, the people gathered there slowly moved inside. Through the heads of five or six people, she spotted a tall, handsome man in a sharp suit.

Today he was still wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, and his suit was a dark grayish-black. He wore a black shirt underneath and no tie.

Just a few seconds later, Xiao Guxing's gaze happened to sweep over, and their eyes met unexpectedly in the air.

This unexpected eye contact inexplicably made Shu Tang's heart skip two beats.

To be honest, she had absolutely no resistance to Xiao Guxing, who wore glasses.

That refined scoundrel look.

I rely on!

It's hard not to be tempted!

But she managed to stay composed. Just as she was about to greet them with a generous and appropriate smile, two chubby little hands suddenly cupped her face in their hands.

A soft, sweet voice whispered in my ear, "Auntie, there's a puppy over there! It's so cute!"

Oh, I almost forgot.

She was holding a tiny baby in her arms.

Following the direction Xiaoxiao pointed, Shutang saw a chubby white Samoyed sitting there, sticking out its tongue and laughing happily.

"Yeah, it's very cute."

"what is her name?"

Shu Tang's eye twitched slightly. "I'm not its owner, so I don't know its name."

"Can I touch it?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because you have to ask its owner first."

"Then Auntie, go ask its owner."

"My aunt doesn't know who its owner is."

“The puppy knows, Auntie, go ask the puppy.”

Shu Tang: "..."

Her lips twitched again, and she reached out to pinch her chubby little face. "Be a good girl, or you'll have to get down and walk by yourself. I'm not going to carry you."

I don't know what my older brother and sister-in-law are feeding this little girl; she's as big as a little weight.

It's very heavy.

The little girl was very lazy. As soon as she heard that her aunt was not going to hold her, she immediately shut her mouth and hugged Shu Tang's neck tightly.

Shu Tang was almost strangled to death by this girl.

"Gently, gently, I'm about to suffocate!" Shu Tang shouted. "My hairstyle!"

"What's all this fuss about?" Upon hearing this, Shu's mother turned around and glared at her. "How old are you? Why are you still arguing with your niece?"

Shu Tang: "..."

I'm completely innocent, okay?!

She pouted, looking stubborn with an air of "I'm frustrated but I won't say anything," and gently patted Xiaoxiao's bottom. "Hold me for three more minutes, then get down and walk around for five minutes. We just pinky swore, so you can't go back on your word."

Xiao Xiao obediently agreed, "Okay, Auntie." At the door, Xiao Guxing, his father, and a cousin greeted the guests.

Shu Tang's father was the first to step forward and shake hands to greet him. He was Master Xiao's apprentice, and could be considered a fellow disciple of Xiao Guxing's father.

After the two greeted each other warmly, Xiao Cheng, Xiao Guxing's father, looked at Shu Tang and said, "I remember the last time I saw Tangtang, she had just graduated from university. It's been a few years since I last saw her, and Tangtang has become even more beautiful."

“Uncle Xiao, I always thought you had better eyesight than my dad. He always said I was getting uglier and uglier.”

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense."

"That's right, nonsense!" Shu Tang snorted at Xiao Xiaocheng.

Xiao Cheng and the people around him laughed when they heard this.

Xiao Guxing also greeted Shu Yang's mother politely. Shu Yang's mother had only met Xiao Guxing before when she video chatted with Shu Tang, and this was the first time she had seen him in person.

She pulled him aside and said a lot of thank yous.

They had been talking for too long, and Shu Tang could barely hold the girl in her arms anymore. She bent down and put her down, then shook her arms slightly.

When she straightened up, she realized that Xiao Guxing was looking at her.

Shu Tang smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples, and her hand was grabbed by Xiao Xiao. "Auntie, puppy."

Shu Tang didn't look, but turned her little head towards her and whispered, "If you like dogs, Auntie will give you one later."

"really?"

When has your aunt ever lied to you?

"Yes," Shu Xiaoxiao complained, tilting her head up. "My aunt tricked me out of my cream puffs yesterday."

"..."

Shu Tang, without blushing or skipping a beat, pinched her chubby little face and said, "Nonsense! How could it be a lie? Auntie is just doing it for your own good. She's afraid you'll get a stomachache from eating too much and have to go to the hospital for a shot."

"Hmph, your aunt is so good to you, and you still blame your aunt. Your aunt is not going to be friends with Xiaoxiao anymore." She withdrew her hand, turned her head to the side, and crossed her arms.

The little girl pouted and hugged her leg, saying, "Auntie is good to Xiaoxiao, good to Xiaoxiao."

Shu Tang raised an eyebrow and patted her little head. "So, were you wrong?"

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I misunderstood my aunt."

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Xiao Guxing, who witnessed this scene, smiled and raised his hand to cover his mouth, pressing his lips down hard to suppress the smile.

Her niece is two years old, and she is three years old; no more than that.

Once inside, Shu Yang and his mother had to exchange pleasantries with many people. Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it, and Shu Tang didn't want to put on a fake smile either; it was too tiring.

So I took Xiaoxiao out to play.

Xiao Xiao was extremely attached to that Samoyed and dragged Shu Tang along to go find the dog.

After searching around, they still couldn't find where the Samoyed had been taken. Shu Tang didn't want to walk anymore, so she took her to a place on the side with swings and a few amusement facilities.

As luck would have it, the Samoyed was there, along with a little boy of about four or five years old, and...

Xiao Guxing was there with a young girl.

Shu Tang froze for a moment when she saw Xiao Guxing chatting and laughing with the girl, and she loosened her grip on Xiao Xiao's hand.

Xiaoxiao ran over immediately, like a rabbit taking flight, shouting, "Little dog, here comes my kennel!"

Shu Tang was brought back to her senses by her shout and quickly went forward to grab her, "Xiao Xiao, come back!"

However, she was in such a hurry that she didn't notice that a soft carpet had been laid out in the children's play area. She kicked the edge of the carpet, tripped, and stumbled, her body leaning forward uncontrollably.

She broke out in a cold sweat, but the arc wasn't large, and she was able to regain her balance after a few swaying moments.

But unexpectedly, just as she was about to regain her balance, a figure rushed over quickly, grabbed her arm with one hand and wrapped his arm around her waist with the other.

When I looked up again, I was met with a pair of warm, slightly nervous eyes behind the glasses.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Guxing asked gently.
