Chapter 891: Chapter 860: Sending Flowers, Managing Emotions

Niu Dajun knew his wife Qi Xiaoyan was attractive, but he had not realized she was this attractive.

"Silly look." Qi Xiaoyan chuckled. To match his wife a bit more, he also bought clothes from Jiang Wenwen and took care to dress up.

Although Niu Dajun was always doing business, he would get up early in the morning to run and exercise, so he maintained a good figure. Standing next to Qi Xiaoyan, they looked like a couple destined to be together.

"Xiao Yan looks really beautiful," Niu Dajun said with a smile. "Are you ready?"

"Yes!" Qi Xiaoyan nodded. "Sister Tiantian has already prepared everything for me, I really like it."

"Then let’s go," Niu Dajun said with a smile. "It’s already past three o’clock now, and you have a rehearsal at ten, so we can’t be late."

"Yes, Sister Tiantian, Grandma Wang, we’re leaving now. You and brother-in-law just need to bring the invitation," Qi Xiaoyan said. "If you don’t know the way, you can ask where the People’s Hall is, and that’s it."

"Alright, I got it. Go ahead with your business," He Tiantian replied with a smile. She had to prepare food and clothes; when Huo Yingjie got back, they would grab a bite and head over.

After Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun left,

He Tiantian picked out clothes she would wear that evening.

It was already autumn, and the nights in Yanjing were getting cool. He Tiantian, not one to wear skirts, decided on wearing trousers and a shirt with a trench coat over them and high-heeled shoes on her feet.

The wind was strong today, so He Tiantian opted to put her hair up to avoid it getting messy later with the wind blowing.

Having prepared all this, He Tiantian still felt like something was missing!

Her gaze fell on the flowerbed, "Aha!" there was a bunch of brightly blooming lilies.

There were lilies of various colors. He Tiantian decided she would pick a bunch when leaving and look for some pretty wrapping paper to hold them, then give them to Qi Xiaoyan after her performance.

By the time He Tiantian finished preparing at home, Huo Yingjie had also returned.

The kids were initially clamoring to go, but it wasn’t a place suitable for children.

Therefore, after promising several conditions, He Tiantian was finally spared their persistence.

He Tiantian, holding a bouquet, got into Huo Yingjie’s car.

Huo Yingjie drove, with Zhang Ning and Xie Wu following in another car.

Once at the school, He Tiantian showed the invitation and drove the car right in.

As for Zhang Ning and Xie Wu, without invitations, their car couldn’t enter. Both parked outside and pretended to be students entering the school, and managed to slip in.

Qi Xiaoyan was busy with the rehearsal and had no time to entertain He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

Luckily, Niu Dajun was nearby and led He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie to their seats.

"It’s going to start in just over ten minutes," Niu Dajun said with a smile. "I’m really looking forward to it!"

At the same time, Niu Dajun’s gaze fell on the bouquet in He Tiantian’s hands and he asked, "Tiantian, what are you going to do with those flowers?"

"Of course, I’m going to give them to Xiao Yan," He Tiantian said with a smile. "There’s usually a break in the middle of the singing, and I’ll give the flowers to Xiao Yan then."

Upon hearing this, Niu Dajun’s eyes lit up. "Tiantian, where did you buy them? Is there still time for me to go out and buy some now?"

Seeing Niu Dajun’s hopeful eyes, He Tiantian was a bit swayed, and for the sake of her good friend’s marital happiness, she was ready to make some sacrifices. "Alright, then, this bouquet will be for you to give to Xiao Yan," she said.

Niu Dajun was momentarily stunned but took the flowers without any fuss, saying, "Haha, I won’t stand on ceremony then. Ah, you don’t know, ever since Xiao Yan started studying, there have been so many admirers in her class. If I don’t show some initiative, they might really start to encroach on my turf."

"Hehe," He Tiantian chuckled awkwardly. "As long as the two of you have a good relationship, no one will be able to interfere. Xiao Yan likes such romantic gestures; you should often give her some gifts or surprises. When you have time, the two of you should also go out for meals and spend some quality time together as a couple."

"Ah?" Niu Dajun was startled, looking back and forth between He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, "Do you two often go out for some alone time?"

He Tiantian’s face turned a bit red, she had been giving Niu Dajun advice, and yet he was teasing them.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Yeah, if you don’t accompany Xiao Yan, there will be many people willing to be with her, after all, Xiao Yan is so beautiful!"

Hearing this, Niu Dajun became somewhat nervous.

"Ah, that’s right," Niu Dajun said with a wry smile, "A marriage needs to be nurtured, I must put more heart into it. Fortunately, the business has now gotten on track, and it’s not as busy as before. In the beginning, it was so hectic that I really didn’t have the time."

He Tiantian felt a bit guilty, she had handed over all of the store’s matters to Niu Dajun and had been avoiding work herself.

"That’s good, now that our careers are on track, you also have time to manage the family," He Tiantian smiled, "Luckily, my job is also stable now, I have the time, and I will help out in the store as well."

Niu Dajun nodded, feeling very pleased inside.

The two stores’ profits were very significant, and by the end of the year, they would be able to divide up a lot of money.

By then, Niu Dajun had decided to buy a house and courtyard in Yanjing.

Because the courtyard He Tiantian had previously bought had doubled in value in just two years, this was more advantageous than keeping money in the bank!

Niu Dajun was very honest by nature, but after a few years in business, he had become more astute. At the same time, he valued He Tiantian’s judgment.

Before long, the performance began.

All these programs were meticulously prepared by over a dozen departments from the school.

Qi Xiaoyan was singing "Deep Affection and Lasting Friendship," having made a few changes, it became even more sentimental and delicate.

He Tiantian had heard it at home and found it very pleasant to listen to.

Qi Xiaoyan was the eighth performer, and when the lights went up, a beautiful woman stood on stage, gracefully poised.

Niu Dajun was already standing below the stage, mesmerized by the woman he was watching.

If he hadn’t married Qi Xiaoyan, he might have ended up with a well-matched girl through matchmaking, had a few kids, and worked honestly at the post and telecommunications office for a lifetime, watching the kids grow up, growing old himself, leading a plain life.

However, fate brought them together, he loved her, and she had turned his life upside down.

Because of his wife’s encouragement, he had his family and current business.

His wife was so beautiful, so kind, so outstanding, he needed to work even harder.

"Colorful clouds..." Qi Xiaoyan had already started singing on the stage, her eyes swept over the spot where her husband, Sister Tiantian were, but she didn’t see Qi Dajun.

Qi Xiaoyan felt a little disappointed inside.

He had promised to listen to her sing!

She liked to sing, but she liked singing for him even more.

During a brief interlude, Niu Dajun took the opportunity to step onto the stage from the side.

The audience watched, dumbfounded, as the tall man walked onto the stage.

When Qi Xiaoyan saw Niu Dajun, she too was startled.

"You sing really well, this is for you," Niu Dajun gave Qi Xiaoyan a bouquet of flowers, then smiled and walked off the stage.

Qi Xiaoyan held the flowers, her face full of smiles.

He didn’t leave, he was listening to her sing.
