79: Give my sister-in-law a surprise

Sitting on the sofa playing with his phone, Xu Zimo heard the sound and instinctively looked over, his gaze momentarily freezing.

What met his eyes was a young girl brimming with youthful energy. Sunlight streamed through the half-closed curtains, dappling her soft hair and casting a faint golden glow on her long, dark, and lustrous locks.

Her eyes were as clear as water, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently, each blink as delicate and captivating as a butterfly's wings. Below her small, straight nose was a pair of rosy lips, the corners slightly upturned with a sweet smile. Her fair skin, illuminated by the sun, glowed softly, and a few playful strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, adding to her lively charm.

It was Tang Xinyi's younger sister, Tang Xinyao, who was still a freshman in college.

She was wearing her school uniform: a white shirt paired with a navy pleated skirt.

The cuffs of her shirt were slightly rolled up, revealing her slender, fair wrists, and the pleated skirt swayed gently with her light steps. Each pleat seemed like a flowing Sound Note, radiating youthful vibrancy. Navy long socks encased her long legs, paired with white sneakers, making her look both youthful and energetic.

She carried a simple black backpack, walked into the house, and casually hung it on a hook by the entrance. Upon seeing Xu Zimo, her relaxed demeanor immediately vanished, and her eyes curiously scrutinized the unfamiliar man in the house.

She had never met Xu Zimo before.

Although Xu Zimo had visited before, it was only once or twice, and the two had never crossed paths.

Seeing her look over, Xu Zimo smiled at her.

Just then, Chen Yaqin's voice came from the kitchen, "You're back. Wash your hands first, then wash some fruit to entertain our guest."

"Oh."

Tang Xinyao responded and walked to the refrigerator, taking out a few apples and a bunch of green grapes.

Even while washing the fruit, she couldn't help but turn her head curiously, secretly observing Xu Zimo.

He looked quite old, but his face shape seemed decent.

Who could he be?

Could he be her new brother-in-law?!

Tang Xinyao's eyes immediately lit up.

But then she saw Xu Zimo looking in her direction, and she quickly averted her gaze as if she had received an electric shock.

After a while, the fruit was washed, and Tang Xinyao carried it out, placing it on the table in front of Xu Zimo.

"Thank you."

As he spoke, Xu Zimo naturally glanced at her.

This young girl was even more beautiful than her older sister.

Her beauty was like a flower just blooming in spring, with an unadorned purity.

Without realizing it, he checked her information.

Name: Tang Xinyao

Age: 18

Height: 170 cm

Weight: 51 kg

Appearance: 91

Figure: 87

Experience: T0

Indeed, just being slightly more beautiful than her sister Tang Xinyi meant she already possessed a divine beauty of over ninety points.

Although her figure was slightly lower than her sister's, that was because she was only eighteen and still a bit green.

Also, because she was young and up close, her face seemed so fresh that a gentle pinch could make water gush out.

"You... are my sister's boyfriend?"

Tang Xinyao sat opposite him, and after a while, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Xu Zimo.

"Not yet."

Under her slightly puzzled gaze, Xu Zimo chuckled and said, "Because your sister hasn't agreed yet."

"Oh, I see."

Tang Xinyao's gaze swept around him, but she didn't find any gift bags, and her face immediately showed disappointment.

Of course, her enthusiasm for Xu Zimo didn't wane. "Then can I call you Brother-in-law?"

She thought, she'd call him that first.

If he didn't bring her a gift this time, he surely couldn't come empty-handed next time, right?

Xu Zimo didn't react at first, but soon caught on.

There was no such thing as flattery without reason in this world.

Especially from a young girl with divine beauty.

He was already thirty. Although he couldn't be called greasy, he certainly wasn't a great handsome guy.

What could possibly make her want to flatter him?

Then he looked at the phone in her hand. Although it had many cute stickers, obvious cracks could still be seen on the screen.

Xu Zimo glanced at the time.

Five-thirty.

Tang Xinyi finished work at six. Going out now would be just right to pick her up.

So, Xu Zimo stood up.

He couldn't let his Younger Sister-in-law call him that for nothing.

He had to show some appreciation.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm going to pick up Tang Xinyi from work."

His reason for leaving was also very valid.

Seeing him about to leave, Tang Xinyao's eyes lit up, and she also stood up: "Brother-in-law, I'll go with you!"

So, they left together.

Of course, Xu Zimo couldn't refuse. Besides, he had already planned to buy her a gift, and it would be better for her to choose it herself.

Looking at the luxury car in front of her, Tang Xinyao became even more excited. "Brother-in-law, is this car a G-Wagon?"

"..."

Xu Zimo still nodded. "Yes."

"So cool!"

A young girl's admiration always made one feel so happy.

Xu Zimo decided to give her a little... surprise.

Once in the car, Tang Xinyao kept asking curiously, "Brother-in-law, this car of yours must be very expensive, right? I heard that luxury cars like this cost several million."

"It's alright, about four million."

"Wow!"

Indeed.

People weren't averse to showing off; it just depended on who they were in front of.

So, when they passed a large shopping mall, Xu Zimo drove into the underground parking lot.

"Brother-in-law, what are we doing here...?"

"I can't let you call me Brother-in-law for nothing, can I?"

Xu Zimo unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "Get out. I'll buy you a small gift."

"Really?"

Tang Xinyao's face was full of pleasant surprise.

Wow.

This Brother-in-law was truly thoughtful!

Unlike that Wang Qiang from before, who didn't even buy gifts for her parents, she had even seen Wang Qiang ask her sister for money multiple times.

Tang Xinyao really didn't know what her sister liked about him.

Also, that guy's gaze was really annoying, so Tang Xinyao had always avoided him.

"What do you want?"

"I... I want a tablet."

Tang Xinyao said, still observing Xu Zimo, seemingly afraid he would get angry. "It doesn't have to be expensive, a basic model for a little over a thousand is fine, as long as I can view documents."

Parents and a Younger Sister-in-law were definitely different.

Of course, she wouldn't dare ask for something too expensive.

"Let's go take a look first," Xu Zimo said.

Since he had decided to give her a... surprise.

He certainly couldn't buy something so cheap.

On the first floor of the mall, the center mostly featured various cosmetics, while the sides had clothing stores and various electronic products.

Huawei.

Apple.

And all sorts of other brands were available.

"Which brand do you want to buy?" Xu Zimo asked.

"Apple, so it's smoother when watching videos."

Young people indeed preferred Apple; after all, Huawei's high-end products leaned towards business.

So, the two walked into the Apple store.

Tang Xinyao was looking at tablets with the Waiter, when Xu Zimo said, "Pick out a phone too."
