Chapter 39 Chapter 39(1/3)
The temperature of tap water in early spring was very low, which made Qiao Nan shudder.
Mu Xiangxiang saw his reaction and subconsciously stepped forward to twist the faucet. As a result, the coldness hit and his wrist was grabbed.
The hand that grabbed her was a little small, a little white, a little delicate, but it burst out with control that was inconsistent with the appearance.
"It's quite a bit." Qiao Nan turned off the water and stood up and shook his head. He turned his eyes away after meeting her gaze. He used his other hand to pull his hair and laughed, "Okay, it's so fucking cold, don't touch it."
The sunlight shone down from the oblique side, passing through the rustling tender leaves beside the road, and the mottled halo spread across the air and his face.
Qiao Nan's body seemed to have a halo plated.
After saying that, he sneezes.

The German teaching materials were opened on the side. Mu Xiangyao held his chin and looked at the pink-colored apples on the table. He could smell a very faint fragrance in his nose, and he seemed to hear the sounds in the afternoon in his ears.
It’s not just the Daming I was repeatedly called out, but there are many more...
The door was knocked slowly twice. As soon as she came to her senses, the door of the study was pushed open. Qiao Yuanshan stood behind the door with a tray.
As he glanced at the various test papers and homework tutoring books spread out on his youngest son's desk, a look of relief flashed in Qiao Yuanshan's eyes.
He remembered the scene he would always see when he came back a few years ago - the usage rate of this study was far less than that of now, and the room was scaryly deserted. His son usually chose to go outside with his friends. The father and son rarely met. The most lifelike thing was the ashtray stuffed with cigarette butts on the living room coffee table.
At that time, he rarely thought about his own problems and always blamed everything on his children's "rebellious period". So day after day, he went back and forth, out of busy work and evasion, and he came back less and less, and the conflicts between his family became more difficult to reconcile.
Recently, he learned from his mistakes and finally made a real change-
Transfer your daily office points directly to City A to ensure that you can appear in front of your family as much as possible.
This is a big project, and it will inevitably affect some of his future office efficiency, but Qiao Yuanshan did not regret it at all. Because on the second day after he made this decision, his eldest son, who had lived in City S for many years, silently asked someone to move his luggage back from another place.
The deserted Qiao family suddenly became lively, and the members began to look up like normal families.
Everyone is working hard to make changes for this family. Although no one has clearly put forward their efforts, the result is that everyone can see.
The eldest son, who used to be keen on business trips, went home as much as possible every day, and the younger son... he almost never saw him lose his temper and smoke.
The small steps that everyone scattered around the center of the circle take in the middle at the same time, and when they add up together, it is a very long distance.
While Qiao Yuanshan was relieved, he was even more reluctant to stay behind the children. He was too frustrated to these two children who had not cared enough in the past, so he became more and more motivated and wanted to make up for it.
His compensation method is not like a fashionable president at all, very old-fashioned and very uninnovative.
"Nan Nan." He slowly stepped in, put the tray on the table, and said to his son in a gentle voice, "Since I came back, I have already written my homework all night, so eat something."
Mu Xiang thought about the things on the tray and couldn't help but feel embarrassed—a cup of hot milk, a cut orange, and a small dish of pastries.
There is no problem with the first two ready-made things. The key is the last plate of pastry. The paper trunk shape is □□, the color is weird, and the hardness looks amazing... is it a cupcake?
Qiao Yuanshan has been keen on cooking and cooking in person recently, and even ordered a lot of food books for this. When he had nothing to do at home, he usually soaked in the kitchen and made pastry after cooking Chinese food.
Mu thought about it at first, but he felt very friendly. After all, Mu's father is also a person who loves cooking and knows how to cook. She can't see her father every day at the Qiao family. It's also good to see more father Qiao, who has many similarities with her father.
But... when God opens a door for you, all windows will inevitably be closed.
Qiao Yuanshan, who has amazing judgment and acumen in business, has indeed not yet lit up any talent in cooking!
Mu Xiang thought at first that he was just unfamiliar with his skills, but later he gradually realized that Qiao Yuanshan had a problem with his taste. Every one of the works he made, which were called desire, immortality, desire and death, could be eaten without changing his face.
Therefore, unless someone points it out in person, relying on himself, the truth will inevitably be impossible.
Mu Xiangxiang's outspoken skills, and every time he faces the expectant eyes that belong to the character "father", he always can't play it out.
She can only hope for the other two members of the Qiao family. You can see the result too.
If you eat this cupcake, you won’t have to ask for it anymore. Mu Xiangyan stared at the plate and turned his mind quickly. Two seconds later, she calmly got up and went to the bookcase to pick up a paper bag: "Give it to you."
Father Qiao was stunned for a moment, and his attention suddenly turned away from asking his son to eat pastry. He stared at the paper bag and said, "...What is this?"
"It's almost twelve o'clock soon." Mu Xiangyao handed over the bag and showed the unique talent of the little cotton jacket. "Happy birthday, Dad."
At that moment, Father Qiao almost burst into tears.
Take the bag and open it and see that everything from casual clothes to gloves is suitable for your size.
This... I sent my first blessing while stepping on the birthday bell... How come this little brat has never seen it so stingy before.
Qiao's father was so moved that he couldn't speak. This was probably the most touching birthday gift he had ever received for his father. Even though the value of these clothes, shoes and socks was not worth mentioning compared to his wealth, it was still a milestone on the road to breaking the ice with his children.
Father Qiao sniffed, and after plucking up the courage to give her younger son a hug, he went out silently with his first birthday gift this year.
Mu Xiangyao just breathed a sigh of relief, and then another figure appeared outside the study door that Qiao's father forgot to close because he was too excited.
The eldest brother Qiao Rui has a deep and calm temperament. He hugged his arms with both hands, his posture was leisurely, his face was expressionless, and he leaned loosely against the door frame.
The cold and sharp eyes shot straight in.
Mu Xiang thought about meeting those eyes full of "Have you forgotten something?"
“…………”

Before the birthday party the next day, Xiaolou, who arrived at the scene, was suddenly poked by the driver with his arm: "Hey, Brother Lou, Dong Qiao has actually changed his clothes!"
Xiaolou turned around and saw that it was true! The boss changed into a striped plaid casual outfit today, which looked loose and comfortable.
"What's going on?" The driver couldn't hide his surprise. "Doesn't Mr. Qiao don't like this kind of clothes? Last time I wore them all, he told me that it didn't look good."
Xiaolou couldn't figure out the situation either. After a moment of silence, he could only say: "It's better than wearing leather jackets anyway."
The driver was silent, and after a moment he could only nod: "It's right..."
Both of them remembered the impact they had suffered at the same time. If they hadn't been very clear about the group's recent business conditions, they would have thought that the Qiao family had experienced some economic crisis.
Their wealthy Mr. Qiao has been staring at a coat for a while, wishing she could walk through the four seasons with a leather jacket!
It was just spring and the weather was very cold. The leather jacket with thick cashmere inside was particularly warm, and it was very suitable for wearing.
But the temperature at the back became warmer, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to wear this dress? Dong Qiao didn’t! He chose to reduce the weight of his inner wear, took off the thermal underwear in the leather jacket, and then changed the turtleneck cashmere sweater to a T-shirt. Finally, when even changing a T-shirt could not solve the temperature problem, he made a very sexy operation-
Wear the leather jacket in reverse.
Really very smart.
The wool-curved coat inside almost became a mental pollution, so that when he saw the chairman who had put on a new dress, assistant Xiaolou felt that he felt like he was a different life.
With this strange feeling, he stepped forward to celebrate his birthday and soon discovered another member of the Qiao family who was acting strangely.
Qiao Rui, the general manager of the group, seemed to be in a good mood today. He was with his father to receive guests. When he greeted each other, he kept smiling on his face.
I just don’t know if it’s because the shirt I’m wearing today is uncomfortable, so he always wants to sort out his tie. He is very frequent in tidying up his tie, so the silver tie clip with a shiny little rhinestone on the tie has been refracting the light with the light.
"...Mr. Qiao, I wish you a good health and tough life every year!" Xiaolou forced his eyes away from the unrestrained movements of the general manager of the group when tidying up his tie, and bowed to his boss with a smile, "You look so young today!"
"Hahaha!" Qiao's father smiled with his little beer belly, "Xiaolou, you are really talking more and more. I am now in six years old, and I can still be praised for being young."
The tie and small rhinestones on the other side flashed again. Xiaolou was shaken and blinked, and replied with a smile: "Dr. Qiao, I'm not flattering. Look at your outfit, your temperament, and your outfit today, you are almost the same in your thirties. Who believes you are going to be in your sixth place!"
Father Qiao smiled even more happily: "My clothes look good today?"
"It's quite suitable for you, the authentic British yuppie casual style." Xiaolou said, "It's tasteful."
Qiao's father patted him on the shoulder and smiled from ear to ear: "I will give you a salary increase next month."
Xiaolou was shocked and before he could even doubt it, the light suddenly flashed, and he immediately realized that he had ignored the other two big men.
He quickly woke up and turned his head and said, "Oh, Mr. Qiao and the young master are getting more and more handsome. You are so lucky. Your two sons are both talented and so filial. You are with you. How many people are envious of you and can't even come!"
Father Qiao smiled and glanced at his two sons. After receiving the gift from his younger son in the morning, the eldest son also gave him an unexpected surprise.
For so many years, this is the first time that the father and son celebrated privately in advance before the public birthday party on his birthday.
The moment when Qiao Yuanshan saw his eldest son take out the birthday cake he bought expressionlessly at the breakfast table, he had only one thought in his heart - he would die without regrets in his life.
A few years ago, even if he was dreaming, he would not dare to have such supernatural images in his dreams.
The touching came too quickly and Qiao Yuanshan didn't know what he should say. He could only thank God for helping him wake up when he was still in time and did not miss these two most precious existences in life.
He patted his sons on the shoulders with both hands: "Yes, they are getting more and more sensible."
Xiaolou looked at the two young masters of the boss. The young master on the left looked unemotional when he heard this, and kept looking sideways at the big brother standing on the right of the boss.
The eldest son Qiao Rui was still tidying up his tie.
Xiaolou pondered for a moment, feeling the scene was a bit weird, so he cleverly decided to change the topic.
Just as he didn't know what to say, his eyes flashed again by the gleaming clip on Qiao Rui's tie. He immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao looks handsome today, especially this tie clip is simply the finishing touch."
After the words fell, the scene was silent for a moment, and Qiao Rui glanced at him with a smile: "Really?"
"It really can't be true anymore. Which brand's limited edition is this? It's very valuable at first glance." Xiaolou just nodded when he saw the general manager swept his younger brother with that mysterious look. After taking it back, he said lightly to his father, "Give him a thirty percent increase."
Father Qiao: "What?"
Jori: "Wage."
Xiaolou: “…??????”
Ha? What's the situation?
Mu Xiangxiang couldn't stand anymore! Xiaolou's words "very valuable" completely defeated her! The clip on Qiao Rui's tie was bought from Taobao to prevent her hair from being pulled away, and the full price was 129 yuan!
