Chen Ou patted Zhang Xiao Xiao's shoulders and walked out of the academy with her.

"No, I have other things to do."

"Xiao Xiao, your eighteenth birthday is coming up. I still want to drag you along to buy a birthday present."

The carriage that Ling Chen had arranged had already arrived. Zhang Xiao Xiao quickly got on the carriage, and did not even bid farewell to Chen Ou.

"What is she doing in such a hurry?" Chen Ou muttered to himself.

Zhang Xiao Xiao had a secret recently.

Yes, she did have a secret.

Her eighteenth birthday was soon to arrive. As a young girl who was about to reach adulthood, of course she had to have some life ideals. She had to realize them on that day.

Zhang Xiao Xiao was recently preparing a plan, she had to prepare a special 18-year-old coming of age ceremony for her.

Zhang Xiao Xiao quickly finished his homework, and even helped Ling Chen finish today's homework.

"Uncle, can I go out for two hours? I'll be back by ten in two hours, I swear! "

Zhang Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to the sky and swore, his expression extremely serious.

Ling Chen did not say anything, but nodded his head in front of Zhang Xiao Xiao's expectant gaze.

Zhang Xiao Xiao was very happy and he went over to hug Ling Chen.

Seeing her fly away like a happy butterfly, the corner of Ling Chen's lips unconsciously rose a little.

This little girl was really special. It seemed like she was always full of energy.

Ling Chen did not stop Zhang Xiao Xiao because Zhou Bo was secretly following him.

Recently, Ling Chen felt that the atmosphere in the area was a little different, as if someone was secretly monitoring their every move.

The collar group that Ling Chen controlled had a very large domain. Whether it was from a business competition or relationships, the company was at a very high point where it was easy to stir up trouble.

This was also why Ling Chen's security was always enhanced when he went in and out of the city, while everyone around him had more or less the ability to protect themselves.

Her important position in his heart was also something that Ling Chen had never expected.

Ling Chen looked at the pile of information in his hands, and then, inexplicably, his gaze landed on a group photo at the side.

This was a photo that Xiao Xiao developed after taking a photo with him on his phone.

Zhang Xiao Xiao felt that it was not bad, so he placed the photo into the frame and placed it on his desk.

Ling Chen stared at the photo, his feelings became complicated.

A little girl who shouldn't have interacted much with him had now become an existence as important as his family.

Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

Zhang Xiao Xiao pressed the purse in his pocket, and finally mustered up the courage to walk into an underwear shop.

"Little sister, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I... "That …" Zhang Xiao Xiao did not know what to say.

"If you want to buy underwear, please come this way."

The clerk was rather polite, and brought Zhang Xiao Xiao to the girls' underwear section.

Zhang Xiao Xiao looked at the pink and white clothes, and started to blush.

"I want a set of … "Yes, underwear to prove that I grew up in."

The clerk suddenly understood.

"This way, please."

When Zhang Xiao Xiao saw the rows of transparent lace undergarments, his face immediately turned red.

She had never thought that the adult world would be so different. Looking at these clothes, they were on a completely different level compared to the conservative girls.

The clerk smiled and asked, "Do you want these?"

Zhang Xiao Xiao blushed as she picked up a set of red undergarments and left.

"Won't you try? After all, size is important. "

Zhang Xiao Xiao said without turning his head, "Enough, it's just right for my size."

When Zhang Xiao Xiao carried the bag out, the cold wind outside calmed her down a little.

Heavens, she actually did such a bold thing, but luckily this was a good start.

Then, Zhang Xiao Xiao went to buy the clothes worn by mature women and the first pair of high-heeled shoes in his life.

Although she wore sandals with high heels before, this was the first time she owned leather shoes that represented maturity and growth.

Zhang Xiao Xiao sat in the taxi and looked at his wallet in pain.

"I really don't have any money now. I've saved up for half a year's worth of pocket money."

Zhang Xiao Xiao returned to the villa safely, and every move she made was reported by Zhou Bo to Ling Chen.

"Underwear shop?" Women's clothing store? The shoe store? "

Ling Chen did not understand why Zhang Xiao Xiao would buy all these things so late.

He could not figure it out and wanted to see what Zhang Xiao Xiao was doing in the room.

As soon as the monitor was turned on, he quickly turned it off.

But that didn't erase the image in his head.

Zhang Xiao Xiao was in her room trying on the sexy underwear she had bought.

Although Zhang Xiao Xiao was a young lady, his body's development was very comprehensive.

Ling Chen accidentally saw Zhang Xiao Xiao who was looking in the mirror.

He coughed to calm his emotions and made a decision. It seemed that he must not turn on this surveillance camera, or else he would become a peeping monster.

Zhang Xiao Xiao looked at his body in the red underwear in the mirror and felt a little shy.

So this was what it felt like when you reached adulthood? She must make herself an adult on her birthday.

Zhang Xiao Xiao secretly clenched his fists, and immediately changed out of his clothes.

On the second day, after Zhang Xiao Xiao followed the driver to school, he became extremely worried due to the scene that he saw yesterday.

He didn't understand girls, but the Xiao Mingyuan who understood girls the best ought to be the one with the most experience in love.

"What?"

Xiao Mingyuan scratched his ears, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"Let me ask you. A girl who suddenly wore the clothes of an adult, what does this mean? "

Ling Chen patiently repeated himself again.

"You're right, this girl shouldn't be your family's little girl right? Usually young girls yearn to grow up, they yearn to be mature and attractive women. Of course, there's a bigger reason why they might be in love. "

Girls who are in love will subconsciously want to show maturity, wear adult clothes and dress up like humans. This will give them more confidence. "

"Early love?"

Ling Chen could no longer remain calm.

"What puppy love?" Where did you come from? Zhang Xiao Xiao should be eighteen in a few days, if she's in love, then it can't be considered as early love. "

"How do you know she'll be eighteen in a few days?"

"The information you gave me, did you forget? "No, it can't be that you didn't notice the little girl's birthday."

Xiao Mingyuan was a little shocked.

He had thought that this bad friend of his should have some different feelings for that little girl.

But from the looks of it, the problem was not as serious as he thought.

"I don't know, but now that I know, it's not too late."

Ling Chen squinted his eyes. So the little girl's birthday was coming up, he was too irresponsible as a guardian.
