After dinner, Xiao Yingxi had the opportunity to walk around the outside of the villa. Outside the villa, there was a private garden of about 700 to 800 square meters. In addition to the front yard that she saw last night, the back garden is where everything is.
Because the villa is built on a mountainside, you have to walk up a few steps from the living room terrace on the first floor to the front garden.
It was evening at this time, and the setting sun was still dancing on the sea level. Masnian and Xiao Yingxi held hands and walked in the garden, wearing thick coats. Masnian even specially put one on Xiao Yingxi.
Thick velvet hat.
This year, Masnian's body has recovered better and better, and his heart has basically integrated with his body. Although he still has to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, he no longer needs to be afraid of the severe cold.
However, he has been exercising every day for more than a year. Masnian's body is stronger than in previous years, especially the abdominal muscles. Xiao Yingxi is very happy. She likes to put her hands there every night when she sleeps.
Give it a try.
"Why is there only loosened soil over there?"
At this time, Xiao Yingxi pointed to a place against the wall in the distance and asked.
This garden has basically been planted with vegetation, including a row of roses and several wintersweet trees, which are in full bloom in this winter, so the loose soil is particularly conspicuous.
"Do you still remember when we were young, we went back to the village where I used to live in Nanyun every year? Every time I went there, I liked to plant some seasonal vegetables in that yard, so I want to set aside that area for a vegetable garden. What do you think?
Like this, if you have anything you want to plant, tell me and I will buy the seeds."
"Little tomatoes, and cucumbers. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about the time I was injured in Nanyun. I have been there, but unfortunately it has been abandoned for a long time. I remember that there was a swing frame there.
When I was a kid, I always struggled to play with my second brother, and then every time you would just push my second brother away, and you wouldn’t allow him to come near the swing until I got tired of playing.”
Masnian's mention of the bungalow courtyard aroused many memories in Xiao Yingxi.
In the past, she would be taken by Masnian to stay there for a while almost every winter and summer vacation. Although she had never eaten the vegetables grown in the courtyard, they still liked to bring various vegetables with them every time they went there.
seeds, and then watch them sprout and take root in the soil.
Listening to Xiao Yingxi chattering non-stop, Masnian knew that the gift he prepared for Xiao Yingxi was very right. He seemed to have thought of something, and took her hand and walked towards the other side.
It was a high platform with five or six steps. After going up, it was a pavilion of about forty or fifty square meters. However, on one side of the pavilion, a swing caught Xiao Yingxi's eyes.
"Swing, you actually prepared a swing."
Xiao Yingxi said that she had already sat on the swing, and then she felt a slight force from behind, and Masnian had gently pushed her up.
“You can actually see the sea from here.”
Sitting on the swing, as the height rose, Xiao Yingxi was pleasantly surprised to find that she could also see some of the sea here, but the view was not as good as where they had just come.
"Luoluo, I said, I want you to be happy every day in the future, and I will never break my promise."
Masnian suddenly said seriously. Xiao Yingxi turned around and smiled brightly at him. At this time, she was really happy.
"Si Nian, I really like it here. I am very happy. In the future, I will plant flowers in this yard. I will see flowers blooming all year round. Over there, I will plant small tomatoes and small cucumbers.
, Xiaoqingcai, by the way, Si Nian, how about we dig a fish pond there and raise some fish for viewing or eating."
Xiao Yingxi was clearly in her early twenties, but she actually liked this semi-retired life. However, Masnian had always obeyed Xiao Yingxi's arrangements unconditionally, and said while pushing the swing frame.
"Okay, I said, this will be our home from now on, and you can make any arrangements you want."
"Then shall we still stay here tonight?"
Xiao Yingxi looked at the time and saw that the sky was getting dark. Although it was warm here, they hadn't really moved here yet, and some daily necessities were not ready.
"We will go back to Yayuan tonight. We will move slowly during this period. After getting married, we will live here every day. Of course, if you want to live here now, you can."
"Then let's wait until after we get married. I will slowly prepare during this period."
As she said that, Xiao Yingxi had already begun to think about her and Mas Nian's married life. Thinking of everything here, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
At this time, Masnian suddenly leaned into Xiao Yingxi's ear and whispered softly.
"Lolo, the New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, we will be busy preparing for the wedding."
Xiao Yingxi was stunned for a moment. Although her proposal was successful last night, she had not forgotten to think about the wedding. Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou's wedding had been prepared for almost half a year, and she also did something along the way. It felt like
It's not very complicated.
Seeing Xiao Yingxi stunned, Masnian lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, and then whispered in her ear.
"My parents and I have discussed it. The weather will be good in early May after the new year. The weather will be warm by then and it won't be too cold for you in your wedding dress. We will hold the wedding then."
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, she did some calculations and realized that it only took four months to complete the calculations. In addition, there were many things to do during the New Year. After calculation, it seemed that time was quite tight.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Hearing what Xiao Yingxi said, Masnian frowned and asked.
"Why, don't you want to marry me sooner?"
"No, I'm afraid that time is too tight and I won't have time to prepare. It takes a month or two to customize a wedding dress. There are other things, and the group has so many things to be busy with now. Can you handle it?"
After all, Xiao Yingxi still felt sorry for Mas Nian, fearing that he was too tired.
Hearing this, Maas young smiled softly, took Xiao Yingxi off the swing, sat on a chair nearby, touched Xiao Yingxi's face and said softly.
"So, you are feeling sorry for me. Don't worry, I will arrange everything. As for you, just wait and be at ease to be my bride."
With that said, Masnian kissed Xiao Yingxi again, then held her in his arms, rubbing her ears and temples together.
"Lolo, I will give you an unforgettable wedding."
The soft words were like a promise. Xiao Yingxi was slightly startled, then she hugged Mas Nian, nodded obediently and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
In the end, Xiao Yingxi and Masnian decided to stay here for one night. This night, they did nothing. They just hugged each other, as if reminiscing about the past, and talked about a lot of things from their childhood.
In the blink of an eye, it’s a new year again. After New Year’s Day, everyone seems to be even busier.
At the end of every year, the company's meetings seem to be endless. Mas Nian has already held his third meeting today. They are all year-end reports and project summaries from various branches. He is so busy that he has no time to accompany Xiao Yingxi today.
have lunch.
However, Xiao Yingxi was taking things easy today. All the projects in Shanhaiwan Bay had been completed, and new projects would not start until after the New Year. No, at three o'clock in the afternoon, she invited everyone in the office to have afternoon tea. At this time
She was chatting with some colleagues in the tea room.
"Have you heard? This time the new president of Lauder Daily Chemical Asia Pacific went back to the headquarters to report in person. She is the only female president of a branch of the group. I heard that she is almost thirty and not married yet."
"You are talking about the woman named Li Muzi. I have seen an interview with her before. She seems to be an alumnus of our president, but that woman is quite beautiful. Think about it, such a powerful woman can earn thousands a year.
All in all, what kind of man does this have to be? So, it’s better for ordinary women like us, it’s so easy to find a man.”
The tea room is always a time for women to discuss gossip. Xiao Yingxi remembered that yesterday the focus of their discussion was still on Mas Nian's assistant Lu Mingxuan, and today there was another female CEO.
Li Muzi, she had heard of this name before, and she had mentioned this woman before when she heard Masnian and their father discussing the personnel appointments of Lauder Daily Chemicals at home.
Yaoyuan Group has dozens of branches, as well as major branch companies, and dozens of presidents of these branches. I don’t know why, but for so many years, this is the first time that a woman other than her mother has sat on such a car.
Location.
Even Lan Xin, who was highly regarded in Dora Fashion back then, did not sit in the position of president. Now even though she owns shares in Dora Fashion, she is only responsible for the high-end customized line.
"You all don't know, right? This Mr. Li is also from Los Angeles. He went to Astor International School since he was a child, and then went to university abroad."
At this time, Gu Jiajia, who was sitting with Xiao Yingxi, also joined in the hot chat. Xiao Yingxi on the side heard it and was stunned for a moment.
Astor International School, that is not her alma mater, it is the top private school in Los Angeles. Their children have been studying there since kindergarten. Unexpectedly, they are alumni of this Li Muzi.
But considering her age, it's not surprising that Xiao Yingxi didn't know Li Muzi. When she was in elementary school, this Li Muzi should have been in junior high school. By the time she reached the junior high school, this Li Muzi should have gone abroad.
However, she was the second female president in the history of the group besides her mother Mo Yurou. Xiao Yingxi was a little more curious about this woman.
