“I don’t want to go to the banquet. There are too many people there. I don’t like those kinds of occasions where people drink and interact.” Guo Miao slowly stretched.

Donning traditional clothes was rather tiring. In order to match her clothes, she wore a pair of very high heels that were a little rough on her feet. She just wanted to change her clothes and have a good rest.

“Which old friend do you think it is?” Tong Pei nodded and asked.

Guo Miao smiled. Tong Pei’s question was weird, but it also exposed her thoughts.

Was this old friend referring to Tong Pei or the person they were going to meet later?

“You’ll know later,” Guo Miao imitated his tone.

Tong Pei laughed.

The two of them chatted as they walked to the parking lot.

Tong Pei asked Guo Miao to get into the car, and he went to the driver’s seat on the other side.

As long as Guo Miao was in the car, he would usually drive the car himself.

“It’s my honor to let the Fifth Young Master of the Tong family drive me personally,” Guo Miao said with a smile.

Tong Pei didn’t say anything. He just leaned towards Guo Miao slightly. The distance between the two of them became very close.

Guo Miao didn’t move back. She just stood there and didn’t say anything.

Tong Pei suddenly realized how close the distance between the two of them was. He quickly helped Guo Miao buckle her seatbelt and sat back in his original seat. He felt his face burning.

Just now, the girl was looking at him with a faint gentleness in her eyes. Her eyes were extremely beautiful. If it wasn’t for his rationality, he would have kissed her.

“What’s wrong?” Guo Miao asked. She had also noticed Tong Pei’s abnormal behavior earlier and was even more certain in her heart.

Tong Pei’s car also had the faint fragrance of eucalyptus, which made her a little sleepy. The two of them chatted, and Guo Miao fell asleep in no time.

When she woke up, the car was parked by the roadside. Tong Pei had just gotten into the car, and he was carrying a bag in his hand.

Guo Miao was a little embarrassed. “Sorry, I fell asleep.”

Tong Pei shook his head and handed the bag to Guo Miao. “Go and change.”

Guo Miao was a little confused. She opened the bag and found a pair of sneakers, jeans, and a T-shirt inside.

“Thank you.” Guo Miao’s face turned slightly red. She didn’t expect Tong Pei to be so considerate.

She went to a nearby mall to change her clothes.

The T-shirt was a popular niche brand recently. It did not look cheap and was very comfortable to wear. It was just the right size.

Previously, he had asked En Cai to help her order a dress, so he probably knew her size at that time. Tong Pei was even more considerate than she imagined.

She lowered her head slightly and sniffed the fragrance of the plants on her clothes. The light scent softened her heart.

After changing her clothes, Guo Miao got into the car. Wearing such a casual outfit was much more comfortable than a formal dress, so she felt relaxed.

The car soon arrived at their destination, Ningxiang Restaurant.

The old friend that Tong Pei was referring to was none other than Old Madam Tong.

Old Madam Tong sat at the table and watched Guo Miao and Tong Pei walk in. “Long time no see, Miaomiao.”

Old Madam Tong looked at Guo Miao with eyes full of adoration.

“Grandma Tong, why are you here?” Guo Miao was surprised.

Old Madam Tong’s health was not good, and she had been staying at home all these years. Why did she come to Haicheng, which was so far away?

“Tong Xin has discussed with us that she wants to give birth here. Old Madam Tong and I went over it, and the two of us are here in Haicheng to accompany Tong Xin.”

Old Madam Tong doted on her granddaughter, Tong Xin, very much and was not at ease to see her give birth alone, so she planned to come and accompany her.

“I also came to see you,” Old Madam Tong said.

Guo Miao was flattered. “Me?”

Old Madam Tong nodded. “I like the bracelet you gave me last time. I’m wearing it.”

Old Madam Tong raised her hand, and a colorful bracelet was on her wrist. “I hit it off with you, so I wanted to come and see you.”

Old Madam Tong didn’t finish her sentence. Other than getting along with Guo Miao, there was another reason she didn’t say.

She knew that Tong Pei liked Guo Miao, and she also recognized Guo Miao as her granddaughter-in-law. However, she was a little worried that Guo Miao might not like Tong Pei.

This time, she came to see Guo Miao and to matchmake the two children.

When she saw the two of them together just now, she felt that perhaps her visit was unnecessary..
