After Li Liang left, Guo Miao distributed the gifts she bought to everyone and went upstairs to pack her luggage.
The award ceremony for the Laurent Award was in a week, and Guo Miao was leaving in three days.
Guo Miao returned to her room, which had been tidied up.
During this period of time, there were no servants in the Guo family. Lu Xi took care of everything in the house. Lu Xi was very diligent, but she also had a sense of propriety, thus she would never touch Guo Miao’s personal things.
The few large boxes that Guo Miao had brought over from home were placed neatly on the other side.
Guo Miao opened one of the boxes. It was filled with letters and packages that hadn’t been opened during this period. Most of them were gifts from fans, and some were invitations from organizations and schools.
Although Guo Miao rejected many popular universities, many research institutes didn’t give up. They sent all kinds of gifts and invitations to Guo Miao, hoping that this rising star in the world of scientific research could help them.
Guo Miao sorted out the letters and gifts, planning to write a thank you note and send them back one by one.
One of them was an anonymous package. It was exquisitely wrapped. Guo Miao picked it up and weighed it. It seemed to be a gift box. The seal of the box was printed with a pencil drawing of eucalyptus leaves.
Guo Miao took the box out of the delivery box and placed it on the table.
Inside was a wooden gift box. In the box was a black shirt and a skirt. Although the style was simple, there was a light golden phoenix embroidered on them.
It was a very simple freehand painting. Just a few lines outlined a phoenix spreading its wings and flying.
There was also a bottle of perfume in the gift box. There was a label on it that said: “Not for sale”.
She unscrewed the bottle, and the faint fragrance of the temperate-zone plant assaulted her senses. She didn’t even need to think to know who had made this gift-
She turned on her phone and dialed the number that was pinned to the top.
Soon, the call connected.
“When did you start being a fairy godmother?” Guo Miao asked with a smile.
“The company opened a new bespoke fashion house and said that they could make a few pieces for me for free, so I thought of making a few for you,” Tong Pei said.
“Oh, so I’m getting free service?”Guo Miao’s tone carried a hint of mockery.
“No, this studio is run by me personally. It’s not a service,” Tong Pei said hurriedly. He wanted to pretend that he was giving Guo Miao some gifts, but his excited tone completely betrayed him.
Guo Miao’s heart softened. Tong Pei seemed like a person who wouldn’t lie in front of her.
“The perfume smells good too,” she said.
The perfume was not strong, but after gently opening the lid for a while, the entire room was filled with the fragrance of eucalyptus, making her feel very good in an instant.
“No need to thank me. It is what 1 should do. Also, 1 don’t want to be some fairy godmother, and you’re not Cinderella.”
Guo Miao chuckled.
“Why are you so silly?” She was originally Cinderella. It was only because she had been gently taken care of by him once in her previous life that she was able to survive until today.
Without him, she might have died that winter night.
“If you’re not a fairy godmother, then what is it? A magic match to trick little girls? I’m so happy that it’s unreal,” Guo Miao asked with a smile.
She prayed silently every day, hoping that everything was true and that he would not return to the tragic world of the past.
“No, it’s neither magic nor an illusion.” Tong Pei’s tone was very firm. “Don’t worry, I won’t let these become illusions.”
Tong Pei’s heart ached a little. What kind of things had Guo Miao experienced before that made her worry about what she had now? He would make sure that his little girl would always be so happy.
“Tong Pei, thank you,” Guo Miao said.
“I already said that we shouldn’t say thank you between the two of us. You should know about the incident at Ningxiang Restaurant today, right?”
Guo Miao nodded lightly.
“I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid that you wouldn’t be willing to accept the investment, but I didn’t know that the Haicheng branch would tell…” Tong Pei said.
“Are you talking about the fact that I’m a VIP of the Jinyue Group?” Guo Miao asked..
