Chapter 650 - The Tiara Hairclip
Shao Tianze never broke his promise to his daughter Miaomiao.
He had promised her to go to Harbor City to see Gu Yi.
He kept his word. Early the next morning, he took her daughter to the airport.
Miaomiao always woke up early after her elder brother went to Harbor City.
So it wasn’t difficult for her to get up early in the morning.
But Shao Xue was still asleep at that time, so she didn’t make it to Harbor City.
So she could just call Gu Yi after getting up.
However, Gu Yi did not answer the call.
Shao Xue gently frowned and dialed the number again.
But she still got a busy signal just like the first time. No one answered the phone.
Shao Xue knitted her brows. It suddenly occurred to her that Shao Tianze might have done something in the beginning to prevent Gu Yi from speaking to Miaomiao on the phone.
If not, she would get through to Gu Yi now.
Thinking of this, Shao Xue immediately called Song Yunxuan.
At the moment, Song Yunxuan was in the Song enterprise, watching the grey sky outside her office window. Song Yunxuan answered the phone and asked, “Yes?”
“Shao Tianze took Miaomiao to Harbor City this morning.”
“To Harbor City?” Song Yunxuan asked. Then she seemed to understand, asking, “Are they going to see Yi?”
“Yes.”
Shao Xue nodded, replying.
Song Yunxuan lapsed into a short silence.
It was rare for Shao Tianze to agree to take Miaomiao to see Yi.
With that in mind, Song Yunxuan said, “Call Yi.”
Song Yunxuan felt that she’d better tell Yi about it to let him be prepared.
Actually, Shao Xue had already called Gu Yi.
“I’ve already called him, but I didn’t get through.”
Song Yunxuan immediately frowned on hearing that, replying, “Shao Tianze might have tampered with it.”
If not, Shao Xue would have got through.
Thinking of this, Song Yunxuan said, “Don’t worry. I’ve got Yi covered. He’ll be fine.”
“Good.”
Shao Xue let out a sigh of relief.
Then Shao Xue continued, “I’ve heard that you and Lu Feng are about to engage. When will you be engaged? Have you fixed a date?”
“Not yet.”
Song Yunxuan was in no hurry to get engaged with Lu Feng.
The priority among priorities was to figure out a way to weaken Shao Tianze.
It would be soon.
As long as Lu Feng could back Song Yunxuan up, it would be impossible for Shao Tianze to turn the tide or fight against her no matter what.
“Take care of yourself. No need to worry about me.”
Shao Xue nodded on hearing that.
...
When the flight arrived at Harbor City, Miaomiao wanted to get up from her seat.
Sensing her eagerness to see Gu Yi, Shao Tianze stroked her hair, asking, “Can’t wait to see your elder brother?”
“Yeah!” Miaomiao looked at Shao Tianze with her bright eyes, asking her, “He knows we are coming, right?”
“Yes.”
Shao Tianze had already informed Gu Yi before they got aboard.
Gu Yi didn’t say much on the phone. He just let his bodyguards take him to meet their plane.
Though Shao Tianze didn’t want Miaomiao and Gu Yi to meet each other, he had promised Miaomiao that he would take her to see Gu Yi and they had arrived at Harbor City.
He had better cheer her daughter up.
Shao Tianze held Miaomiao’s hand, disembarking with her.
When they reached the exit of the airport, they recognized Gu Yi and the two bodyguards the instant they saw them.
They both called out to Gu Yi.
Hearing that, Gu Yi turned to look in their direction.
When seeing her elder brother, Miaomiao let go of Shao Tianze’s hand, rushing to Gu Yi.
Seeing Miaomiao rushing to him, Gu Yi smiled, greeting Miaomiao, “Miaomiao.”
“Elder brother.”
Miaomiao rubbed herself against Gu Yi like a kitten.
Gu Yi’s face expressed great joy when he saw that his younger sister was happy. But he remained cautious for the reason that Shao Tianze was also here.
Miaomiao held her elder brother’s hand, asking him, “Did you miss me?”
“Sure!”
Gu Yi looked at Miaomiao smilingly.
He thought that he might not be able to see Miaomiao in a short time.
But out of Gu Yi’s expectation, his father brought Miaomiao to see him on such short notice.
Gu Yi didn’t know why his father made that decision.
Gu Yi took a glance at Shao Tianze and found that he bent his eyes on Miaomiao.
Feeling his son’s eyes on him, Shao Tianze also took a look at Gu Yi.
The father and the son met each other’s gaze. Then Gu Yi looked away quietly.
Shao Tianze was the only one whose mood swung while watching his son and daughter.
Miaomiao had rarely been to Harbor City. Since her elder brother was currently in the city, she followed his father and elder brother, hanging around.
At the end of the day, Miaomiao was so tired that she even began to doze.
Miaomiao didn’t eat anything after returning from the entertainment park at night. Instead, she lay on Shao Tianze’s shoulder, dozing.
Gu Yi and his bodyguards walked beside Shao Tianze.
Gu Yi asked Shao Tianze, “When will you take Miaomiao back, dad?”
“Tomorrow morning.”
Gu Yi felt somewhat dejected, replying, “This soon?”
Shao Tianze could sense Gu Yi’s sense of loss. But Shao Tianze didn’t want the siblings to stay with each other for too long, so the only way was to come and leave early.
“I’ll bring Miaomiao to see you when I’m available in the future.”
Gu Yi nodded, replying, “Okay.”
Having said that, Gu Yi knew that it would be a long time before Shao Tianze brought Miaomiao to see him again.
When they arrived home, Gu Yi prepared to wake up Miaomiao to let her have dinner.
But just at that moment, Shao Tianze said to him, “Let her sleep. We’ll eat first.”
“OK.”
As Shao Tianze’s son, Gu Yi had no choice but to comply with Shao Tianze’s request.
Therefore, he could just dine with Shao Tianze at the table.
Shao Tianze did something that any father would do.
While having dinner, Shao Tianze asked something about Gu Yi’s stay in Harbor City these days, concerning education, daily routine, diet, and habits.
Shao Tianze asked Gu Yi whether he could get used to the life here.
historical
Gu Yi answered Shao Tianze’s questions one by one obediently.
When Shao Tianze finished his dinner, he gently wiped his lips with a napkin, saying to Gu Yi, “Miaomiao will leave tomorrow. There’s something you still need to hide from her, understand?”
“I know.” Gu Yi replied. Then he added, “I’ve hardly got anything to say to Miaomiao.”
“Good.”
After that, Shao Tianze put the napkin onto the desk.
Then he left the table.
Seeing that, Gu Yi frowned, wanting to add something.
But after pondering for a moment, Gu Yi pressed his lips, swallowing his words.
He remained silent.
Before returning to his room, Shao Tianze went to see Miaomiao in her room.
Seeing that Miaomiao was asleep, Shao Tianze went back to his room.
Gu Yi recalled what happened today after returning to his room. Then he took out a small gift box from the drawer and slipped out of the room with it quietly.
It was already ten o’clock. If it had been in normal times, he would have been asleep as he always slept early.
Now Miaomiao and Shao Tianze came over, Gu Yi still went to sleep at the usual time after dinner.
Seeing that the corridor light was on while the living room was dark, Gu Yi eased to the door of Miaomiao’s room.
Meanwhile, the monitor in the Shao Family’s villa in Harbor City showed that Gu Yi quietly opened the door of Miaomiao’s room.
Seeing that on the screen of the monitor, Shao Tianze rubbed his jaw with his fingers.
As expected, the son cared a lot about his younger sister.
The bodyguards and nurses who were responsible to take care of Gu Yi also saw that. They gently frowned, asking Shao Tianze, “Mr. Shao, do we need to...”
“No need.” Shao Tianze cut them off, saying, “Wait and see.”
Shao Tianze would like to see what his son sneaked into Miaomiao’s room for.
After entering Miaomiao’s room, Gu Yi walked directly to Miaomiao’s bed.
Then he turned on the lamp on the nightstand beside Miaomiao’s bed.
Miaomiao was in light sleep, so she frowned when sensing the light.
Noticing Miaomiao’s frowning, Gu Yi coaxed her in her ear, “Miaomiao?”
Miaomiao turned over in her bed.
Seeing that, Gu Yi sighed helplessly, keep calling her, “Miaomiao, wake up.”
Miaomiao still felt it somewhat noisy, so she wanted to go back to sleep, ignoring what was happening around her.
Seeing that his younger sister was sleeping soundly, Gu Yi lifted the round gift box in his hand, coaxing her again, “Miaomiao, I brought you a gift.”
Recognizing her elder brother’s voice, Miaomiao knitted her brows and seemed to wake up.
Seeing that, Gu Yi reached out his hand and softly pinched Miaomiao’s nose.
Sure enough, Miaomiao opened her eyes sleepily.
Seeing that her elder brother was sitting at her bedside, she felt surprised.
But Miaomiao also felt as if she had been in a dream. Thus she rubbed her eyes, calling Gu Yi, “Elder brother...”
Gu Yi nodded when seeing Miaomiao was awake, replying, “It’s me.”
“It’s you, brother!”
Miaomiao raised herself into a sitting position.
The pajamas of European-Palace style wrapped her small body tightly, leaving her long hair flowing down her back.
Gu Yi gave a gentle smile to Miaomiao. Then he handed the round gift box in his hand to her, saying, “I’ve brought a gift for you.”
“What’s that?” Miaomiao asked.
Then she curiously reached out her hand and took it over.
As soon as Miaomiao took over the gift, Gu Yi smiled, saying, “Open it.”
Miaomiao was curious, so she removed the cover of the gift box with her little hand.
The round gift box was not big, which was about the size of a palm. It had light-blue prints that were imprinted with the universe, which was gorgeous.
Miaomiao liked the gift at first sight.
Therefore, her eyes lit up when seeing what was inside the box, asking, “What’s this?”
Inside the small round box laid some black velvet.
On the velvet, there was a small tiara inlaid with pearls and white diamonds.
“A hairclip for you.”
