Chapter 721 Gift
Seeing that Lin Hao was really going to compensate her for the clothes, Wang Xiaomi became nervous.

"Uncle, I was just joking, don't take it seriously, the clothes are still wearable, I've already sent them for washing!"

"Hey, why are you being so reserved now? Who was having fun on me just now?"

"Bah! I won't pay attention to you if you keep talking nonsense!" Wang Xiaomi thought of her previous behavior and said in a stern voice.

Seeing Wang Xiaomi being embarrassed, Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh. He found that he really liked seeing Wang Xiaomi being teased. She was really cute!
The shopping mall is very large, divided into many floors. There is a clothing store just after you reach the entrance.

The models in the glass cabinet were displaying several sets of high-end women's fashion. Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"Tian Ye will definitely like this dress. She likes this kind of heroic style the most!"

Wang Xiaomi, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt a little depressed when she heard the words, but she quickly recovered because she knew that the uncle was still obsessed with his ex-wife.

In order to dispel the emotion in Lin Hao's heart, she suddenly grabbed Lin Hao's hand and said:
"Uncle, how about I give you a toy?"

Lin Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "How old am I? Why are you buying me toys?"

Wang Xiaomi suddenly took Lin Hao's hand and said:

"Why are you acting like the head teacher when I was ten years old? I won't buy it from you, but I'll buy it for your child, okay?"

After that, he took Lin Hao and walked into the toy store with a smile. Seeing the big sword on the shelf, Wang Xiaomi said with a smile:

"How about this? Buy your son a knife? Buy your daughter a gun?"

She held the toy knife and posed as if she was going to chop down Mount Huashan.

"That's great!" Lin Hao said with a smile. He didn't object to the children playing with swords and guns, nor did he intend to force the children to play with educational toys.

"Uncle, you don't object?" Wang Xiaomi asked curiously.

She just said it casually and jokingly, thinking that Lin Hao would definitely not agree.

"Why do you object?" Lin Hao smiled when he heard this, and then said as a matter of course:
"Children should play as much as they can when it's time to play. When they grow up, they should take on their own responsibilities. By then, they won't even have the chance to play!"

"Uncle, you are right!" Wang Xiaomi nodded vigorously and said, "Also, these knives and guns are good. The boy should learn to take responsibility from a young age, and the girl should learn to protect herself from a young age."

"Yes!" Lin Hao nodded.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Wang Xiaomi must have been bullied when she was a child because she had no father, and she had always been thinking about protecting herself since she was a child.

"Oh, it's so good to have a dad!" Wang Xiaomi murmured to herself, feeling indescribable envy in her heart.

Lin Hao naturally knew Wang Xiaomi's expression, so he said generously:
"Xiaomi, what toy do you want? I'll give you one too!"

"Really? Then I choose it!" Wang Xiaomi was as happy as a little girl.

"Choose one!" Lin Hao raised his chin and smiled, motioning her to pick one.

Wang Xiaomi turned around excitedly and suddenly screamed, "I want this!"

"Why is this child so startled?" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Is it okay, uncle?" Wang Xiaomi asked Lin Hao expectantly, holding a furry puppy doll in her hand.

"Okay, this one is pretty good!" Lin Hao also took a beautiful rabbit doll and said with a smile: "My daughter will probably like it too, so let's buy her one too!"

Seeing Lin Hao pick up the rabbit doll, Wang Xiaomi felt like she had fallen out of favor, so she shook the puppy doll in her hand unwillingly.

Seeing this, Lin Hao said with a smile:
"Don't be greedy. I'm giving you one, but you're trying to snatch it from my daughter!"

"No, I just thought of my dad!" Wang Xiaomi said in a depressed mood.

After Lin Hao paid the bill, the two continued to shop in the mall. Seeing that Wang Xiaomi was in a bad mood, he said:
"I'm sorry! I reminded you of something sad!"

"It's okay!" Wang Xiaomi held the puppy doll, shook her head and said:
"When I was very young, I wanted to have a cute puppy like this, but my mother wouldn't let me. If my father were here, he would definitely let me have one!"

"Do you still remember your father?" Lin Hao asked.

"I can't remember clearly. My father died when I was three years old. I just remember the sweet smell of soap on his body," Wang Xiaomi recalled.

"It's not the smell of cigarettes?" Lin Hao asked.

"My father doesn't smoke. He quit smoking when my mother gave birth to me because he was afraid that he would smoke me," said Wang Xiaomi.

"Then your father is a good father, better than me. I didn't quit smoking when my daughter was born." Lin Hao nodded.

"Ah~!" Wang Xiaomi looked at Lin Hao in surprise and said in disbelief, "You didn't quit smoking?"

"I see that you don't smoke normally. Then when your son was born, didn't you quit smoking?" Wang Xiaomi asked.

"I don't smoke now because I never smoked." Lin Hao couldn't help laughing.

Neither Lin Hao nor the original Mark smoked, so they naturally didn't need to quit smoking. They just wanted to tease her and get her out of her sad mood.

"Uncle, you are so annoying. You did it on purpose!" Wang Xiaomi rolled her eyes at Lin Hao and said speechlessly.

Then Wang Xiaomi sighed again and said, "It would be great if my dad were still alive, even if he smoked!"

How she wished her father was still alive. There were some things she had never owned, and when she saw those who had them but didn't know how to cherish them, she felt very envious.

"Then didn't your mother find you a stepfather or something over the years?" Lin Hao asked.

"No, my mother has been both a father and a mother for so many years, and it's quite stressful." Wang Xiaomi said.

She knew that Lin Hao wanted to change the subject and didn't want to talk about anything that would make her sad, and she was deeply touched.

At this time, the two of them walked to the door of an unknown clothing store, and Wang Xiaomi shouted excitedly:
"Ah! Uncle! This dress is so cute!"

Wang Xiaomi pointed at a white cartoon pure cotton short-sleeved shirt. Perhaps it was the big cartoon pattern printed on the short-sleeved shirt that aroused her budding girlish heart.

"Do you have a size L for this? If you do, get me one!"

So Wang Xiaomi asked the salesperson to help her get the clothes, but the salesperson said:
"Miss, I'm sorry, this is a couple's edition, not sold individually!"

The shopping guide also had no idea what the relationship was between the two people in front of him.

If you say they are father and daughter, the girl's age doesn't seem to be that close. If you say they are a couple, that's possible. In today's world, there are even grandfather-granddaughter relationships.

However, the shopping guide did not dare to make a private conclusion for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstanding.

Wang Xiaomi was a little discouraged. She glanced at Lin Hao, but finally did not speak. Instead, she said:

"Uh, forget it, let's go somewhere else, uncle?"

But Lin Hao is not a person without tact, and Lin Hao also likes couple outfits, so he smiled and said:

"This set looks great, we want it!"

"Ah?" Wang Xiaomi exclaimed and looked at Lin Hao in surprise.

Thinking of Lin Hao saying that we wanted it, I suddenly felt shy. Does this mean they are admitting that they are a couple?

The two walked out of the store and saw Wang Xiaomi encouraging them to wear it. Lin Hao said with a smile:

"Little girl, you've been so happy for so long. It's just a piece of clothing. Is it that serious?"

"Yes, it's just a piece of clothing, why don't you wear it?" Then Wang Xiaomi said calmly, seemingly nonchalantly:
"Also, little girl, little girl sounds so ugly, from now on you have to call me Xiaomi!"

"I bought it because I saw you liked it. Look at me, I'm so old, it's not suitable for me to wear this with you. What if someone sees it~!" Before she finished speaking, Wang Xiaomi started her usual machine gun mode:
"I'm not afraid of a woman like you, so why should you be afraid of an old man like you?"

"Do you have any acquaintances here?"

Lin Hao shook his head!
"You're not single?"

Lin Hao continued to shake his head!
"That's it. Don't look so aggrieved, as if you've suffered a loss by being with me. Just think of it as a romantic encounter we had today!"

Wang Xiaomi grabbed the bag, hugged Lin Hao's arm, then leaned over to Lin Hao's ear, blew a breath, and said softly:

"Tell me if I'm right, uncle!"

The close contact and the warmth beside his ears, coupled with an indescribable tingling sensation, started from the spine on his back and rushed straight to the top of his forehead. Lin Hao felt a little high!

Then Wang Xiaomi hugged Lin Hao's arm and pulled Lin Hao forward!

"Slow down, slow down! What are you in such a hurry for?"

"Uncle, this coat is nice, try it on!"

"Uncle, this T-shirt looks great~!"

"Uncle, this shirt makes you look old, try this one~!"

"Uncle, do you think this skirt is beautiful?"

"Uncle, this suit is too formal~!"

"Uncle, this underwear~"

After shopping in the mall, the two returned home with a lot of things. It was only then that Lin Hao realized that although they bought so many things, their total spending was less than 10,000 yuan.

I have to say that Wang Xiaomi is really easy to support. She does not blindly pursue branded things, let alone luxury goods. She prefers things that are both beautiful and cheap.

Then the two of them went to a western restaurant, had a steak, and then went to the beach with their cameras.

It was a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds. The sun, beach and sea breeze made a whistling sound on the two of them. The key was that there was a beautiful woman by their side.

"It's so beautiful~!" Lin Hao muttered to himself, not sure whether he was talking about the scenery or the people.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Wang Xiaomi seemed to have liberated her nature, running and jumping happily along the way.

"Uncle! Don't just stand there like an idiot. I've been posing for a long time!"

Stunned, Lin Hao quickly picked up the camera and said:

"Okay, look at the camera, 1, 2, 3!"

"Click~!"

"Perfect!"

Wang Xiaomi treated the colorful silk scarf shawl as a beautiful decoration, spinning and jumping on the beach naturally and unpretentiously.

"Uncle, take a few more pictures for me!"

“Crack, crack…!”

Looking at the lively and lovely Wang Xiaomi, Lin Hao quickly adjusted the camera parameters to capture Wang Xiaomi's beautiful face and her pretty figure on the camera.

Following Wang Xiaomi, Lin Hao felt that his mentality had become many years younger.

I don’t know how this inherently contradictory mentality came about.

“Hahahaha, does it look good?”

"Pretty!"

"Let me see!" Wang Xiaomi ran to Lin Hao excitedly and looked at the photos taken by Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was looking through the photos he had taken, and Wang Xiaomi leaned on his shoulder unknowingly.

"Uncle, the photos you take are so beautiful!" Wang Xiaomi looked at her own photos and exclaimed sincerely.

"Really? It's mainly because she's beautiful." Lin Hao praised with a smile.

"Yes, it's because I'm naturally beautiful that I can take such beautiful photos." Wang Xiaomi said without any modesty, but still couldn't help but praise:

"But your photography skills are really amazing!"

Lin Hao smiled and said nothing.

Just kidding, as an art student who has experienced more than ten worlds, worked as an outstanding artist, painter, and even directed a TV series, taking beautiful photos is easy for me.

It would be strange if even this couldn't be photographed well!
Looking at Wang Xiaomi jumping on the beach like a child, Lin Hao picked up the camera and started taking pictures again.

At this time, Wang Xiaomi picked up a piece of snow-white conch, and then said to Lin Hao excitedly:
"Uncle, look, there are shells here!" Then he put it to his ear and listened.

Then he ran to Lin Hao, put the conch next to Lin Hao's ear and said, "Uncle, listen, there is the sound of the sea!"

"What's that sound of the sea? Silly girl, that's the sound of the wind!" Lin Hao pointed at the waves and said with a smile: "The sound of the sea is over there!"

"Uncle, let me give you that shell! You've given me so many gifts, let me give you a shell!"

"Okay, I think my son will like this shell. I'll give it to him when I get home!"

"Uncle, you are so good to your two children!" Wang Xiaomi was envious again.

Lin Hao smiled and said: "Every father treats his children the same way!"

"I don't know. Uncle, how about you be my godfather?"

"No, godfather is not a nice title, it's an insult!"

"Uncle, you are so nice, why did your ex-wife divorce you?"

"Everyone has different ideas. She feels unhappy with me. She said she has lost herself and wants to divorce and find herself."

"I do not understand."

"I don't really understand it either. But now that we're divorced, I don't bother to think about it anymore. After all, it's all in the past."

"Uncle, you are such a good person, you can definitely find someone better."

"Just go with the flow, don't rush."

Sitting on the beach, looking at the waves in the distance, reaching the beach from far away and leveling the sand again and again.
Both of them were enjoying the wonderful time.

"Uncle, tell me, how nice it would be if life was carefree like this every day?"

Lin Hao asked back curiously: "What does it take to be carefree like you like?"

“Don’t think about the troubles, see the beautiful scenery in front of you, eat the food you like, and also, be surrounded by the people you like.”

As she spoke, Wang Xiaomi hugged Lin Hao's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
