five

Yabo glanced sideways.

The man fell silent and said, "Do you want to touch it?"

Tang Meibao was too weary to deal with Madam Tang's distorted psychology, so Yabao had no choice but to sacrifice herself; otherwise, Madam Tang would surely cry

The renowned archaeology department at A was well-known worldwide. Yabao glanced at the person and found their appearance and demeanor to be quite acceptable. "Alright."

Isn't it beautiful? A pleasant voice, one that could host a radio show, echoed from the side of Yabao.

Yabo, Yabo

Mrs. Yu felt somewhat embarrassed. This time, she brought Yu Yaozhong to the Tang family with the intention of a potential marriage alliance, sincerely hoping that Ya Bao could help her wayward son settle down. As for Ye Zheng, her agreement also carried a hint of tacit approval. However, it was evident that both Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Yu did not anticipate that Yu Yaozhong would openly show his affection for Mei Bao in front of Arthur.

After Ya Bao and Ma Huaiyuan politely parted ways, she took out her phone and sent a text message, "Uncle Wang, could you please help me look up a person, Ma Huaiyuan from the Archaeology Department A."

"What is worth your obsession, always hidden behind the glass dome?" Mei Bao cannot understand Ya Bao's way of thinking about this "art".

However, it must be said that Yabao's skin complements the bright green exceptionally well, being fair and radiant, and even without makeup, no flaws can be detected.

In terms of momentum, Yu Yaozhong was at a significant disadvantage. Lacking the commanding presence of Pei Jie, who could maneuver with ease and authority, he nonetheless possessed the pride of a young bull, believing that no one could rival him.

"You rascal." Ma Huaiyuan said with a smile as he patted Aaron on the shoulder

"Shall we have dinner together?" This sentence lingered in Ma Huaiyuan's mouth for a long time before he finally uttered it. It was not his first time pursuing a girl, but it was the first time he felt this nervous.

After returning to the country, I casually applied for the host position at Risheng, without any background in journalism, yet surprisingly secured the top position as the female host at Risheng, gaining significant prominence

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Yabao appeared as scheduled at the back door of the museum, and Ma Huaiyuan came forward to greet her. When his friend saw Yabao, he smiled and said, "No wonder Martin has been pestering me to ask for a favor."

Yabo walked into the V & A Museum located in South Kensington, directly went to the Eastern Art Gallery, and stood there in front of the Qing Dynasty vase, gazing at the porcelain vase with an entranced look in his eyes

"Night Color" is a nightclub that always has a long queue at the entrance. Before her debut, the pop diva Sun Le performed here regularly, making it a favored spot for entertainment stars.

Upon entering, Meibao and her party of four immediately encountered an acquaintance

"Beautiful lady, it is a pleasure to serve you, my name is Aaron." Aaron bowed his head and took Yabo's hand, gently placing a kiss upon it

Yabo truly cannot imagine that Peijie was able to refuse Yabo. She is actually just like Meibao, genuinely wanting to know in the end who will be able to win over Peijie.

Just as Yabao was about to refuse, Meibao pulled him up

"Jacob invited us to Nightshade, shall we go?" Jacob is the English name of Yu Yaozhong, who has returned from abroad. Meibao prefers to call each other by their English names.

The Yu family is considered quite wealthy, so Yu Yaozhong carries himself with a certain arrogance, believing himself to be superior to others. Perhaps he has been spoiled by the attention of girls, as he also displays a bit of self-importance when interacting with the Tang sisters

However, Yu Yaozhong does indeed resemble Pei Jie a bit

Yabo has become accustomed to it; between her and Tang Meibao, the man who is overly attentive always chooses Meibao.

At night, Yabao had a sweet and beautiful dream, in which Peijie was always smiling, his eyes filled with tender affection. In the end, he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips. In the dream, he kept softly calling her name, Yabao, Yabao...

"Alleria," said Yabo

"Ah?" Meibao called out twice before bringing Yabao back from her distraction

Then Yabao saw Ma Huaiyuan slap his head in frustration, and she thought to herself, "He really is a fool"

"Are you going to see your darling again?" Mei Bao, upon hearing that Ya Bao is going to London again, couldn't help but tease her, "You visit it every year; don't you find it tiresome?"

Yabo's eyes lit up with interest as he turned to look at him, "Is it possible?"

After graduating from high school in China, I was favored by Ivy League schools and went to a top university in the United States to study finance without relying on my family's influence

"Oh, even Young Master Pei is here?" Mei Bao raised an eyebrow

However, in the next moment, both Madam Tang and Madam Yu had somewhat displeased expressions on their faces

Ma Huaiyuan was captivated by that smile, forgetting even to open the car door for Yabao. A line from an oft-recited ancient poem floated through his mind, "A glance back and a smile brings forth a hundred charms." Ma Huaiyuan felt that this line of poetry had crossed a thousand years just to await Yabao's smile.

"He is jealous." Aaron winked at Yabao with his left eye

Yabo's face also turned slightly red

Tang Yabao woke up from her dream, drenched in sweat. It was the first time in twenty-six years that she had such a vivid dream. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought that it was indeed time for her to find a boyfriend, as it was also biologically appropriate.

The man seemed to have sensed Yabao's concerns and took out a business card to hand to her. Upon receiving it, Yabao looked and saw that it was from Ma Huaiyuan, an associate professor in the Archaeology Department of University A

Pei Jie is also the kind of person who is constantly surrounded by girls, yet he listens when you speak, and when you want a drink, he hands you a glass of water. He is a gentleman, yet it makes you feel as though he is lowering himself for you; however, you do not feel repulsed, but rather find yourself falling deeper.

Meibao said with a hint of jealousy, "After all, this is someone who has danced for over twenty years; those legs are so long that insuring them for 40 million is not considered excessive"

Tang Yabao did not need to ask her mother the reason for this, as it was certain that yet another aunt was coming to visit the Tang family, and this aunt was eighty percent likely to have given birth to a son. Mrs. Tang had always felt guilty for not being able to bear a son for Mr. Tang, so whenever she encountered friends who had given birth to sons, she would require her daughter to display one hundred and twenty percent of her obedience to mask her inner envy.

"The color after the rain has cleared is indeed incomparable," said the man. "Do you think it is truly a wood-fired kiln?"

Upon receiving an invitation from a stranger, Yabo's first thought was one of caution

Yabo uncomfortably tugged at the hem of her skirt; she was accustomed to skirts that reached her knees or calves, and such a sexy skirt could only be found in Meibao's wardrobe

If there is a next time, let’s have dinner together again. Yabao raised her hand to hail a taxi, turned back to smile at Ma Huaiyuan, and reached out to open the car door

Under the pressure from Meibao, Yabao chose a bright green off-shoulder short dress, revealing her long and toned fair thighs, which even made Arthur whistle

Pei Jie was present, along with his vice president Ye Sheng and a large group of people, but none could compare to the dazzling beauty in red beside Pei Jie

"Not annoying." Yabao affirmed confidently

My friend works here. After finishing work in the afternoon, you can go to the back door of the museum, and I will take you in

Upon seeing the Tang sisters, Yu Yaozhong's eyes lit up.

In less than half an hour, Wang Pinglin sent the information that Yabao requested to her phone. Yabao glanced at the photos, and it was indeed Ma Huaiyuan himself. Looking at his information, both of his parents were professors at University A, which could be considered a scholarly family. He also had no criminal record. Yabao thought to herself that Madam Tang should be able to accept Ma Huaiyuan

If it were not for the pursuit of Peijie, giving Meibao a wake-up call, it is feared that her life would never have known any setbacks

Yu Yaozhong seemed to be captivated by Meibao; although he expressed sufficient admiration for Yabao, it was evident that he favored the glamorous and dazzling type of Meibao more.

A Chinese person, approximately 1.8 meters tall, with glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, exuding the demeanor of a scholar, appears exceptionally refined and is quite pleasing to the eye

Yabao touched the clear sky vase after the rain while wearing gloves, and after examining its paper-thin translucence under the light, Yabao and Ma Huaiyuan left the museum together

Madam Tang, Ye Zheng, raised her teacup and took a sip of tea, not responding to Mrs. Yu's words. Regarding her daughter-in-law, Madam Tang was very confident; in her opinion, Ya Bao from their family was undoubtedly the top choice among these ladies for a daughter-in-law. In terms of appearance, family background, and character, she excelled in every aspect.

In Yabao's bedroom, there are quite a few antiques, including a Ming Dynasty antique chair placed on the balcony for resting, a purple sandalwood box inlaid with mother-of-pearl from the Ming Dynasty used as a jewelry box, and a famille rose flower vase for arranging flowers. Every day, Zhang Ma, who cleans her dormitory, reminds her to be cautious, fearing that she might accidentally damage these treasures

Both women desire the kind of man who embodies a sense of conquest; however, Yu Yaozhong resembles a beautiful mountain standing at around 2,000 meters, while Pei Jie is akin to a snow peak that has yet to be successfully ascended by anyone.

Tang Meibao has been a favored daughter since childhood, both intelligent and gracious. Compared to the more reserved Yabao, who prefers to remain silent, Meibao is much more adept at winning the affection of adults. She has always been the brightest jewel in the Tang family, cherished above all.

It was just that during this meal, Yabao felt uncomfortable no matter how he ate, while Yu Yaozhong appeared out of place in every way. It wasn't until after the meal, when tea was served, that Yabao finally came to his senses, and Yu Yaozhong looked like a low-version Pei Jie.

As the taxi passed by Ma Huaiyuan, Yabao turned back to glance at Ma Huaiyuan, who was still standing there in a daze, thinking to himself, this person has become an antique even in archaeology

"I do not understand," Yabao said without a hint of shame. She liked this celestial vase, but did not necessarily need to know its origins and background. She simply liked its color, thinking that if she had such a vase placed on her windowsill, it would create a lovely scene in spring with a branch of apricot blossoms, in summer with a lotus flower, in autumn with a chrysanthemum, and in winter with a red plum blossom.

The first time Ma Huaiyuan saw Yabao in the dim light, she completely overturned the rationality he had always prided himself on. Ma Huaiyuan glanced at his trembling hands; for an archaeologist, steady hands are as important as they are for a surgeon. Antiques, like people, are fragile and cannot withstand any carelessness

Yabo thought for a moment, "I just like the way it is always hidden behind the glass dome"

Yabao elegantly sipped her tea, a faintly sweet smile gracing her face as she quietly observed Meibao and Yu Yaozhong laughing and chatting on the wooden corridor outside the restaurant. Mrs. Yu continuously praised Yabao, her words imbued with a longing for a daughter like her; lacking a daughter, having a daughter-in-law like this would also be quite wonderful.

Uncle Wang is the security consultant for the Tang family, so Yabao feels quite at ease entrusting this matter to him. If Ma Huaiyuan's identity is genuine, Yabao would not mind having such a romantic encounter from a foreign land.

Ma Huaiyuan's face turned slightly red, "Aaron."

At 6:00 PM, Mrs. Yu and her son Yu Yaozhong arrived punctually at the Tang family home

Upon returning to City H, Tang Yabao received a command from Madam Tang, "I have scheduled an appointment for you with Allen for a haircut at 10:00 AM tomorrow morning, and a facial and spa at Silas at 2:00 PM."

Yes. Yabo shifted his gaze back to the celestial vase, "I love its color, it is exquisite"

However, before looking for a boyfriend, Yabao decided to take a few days off in London, as her dance troupe currently had no performances to rehearse. Moreover, Yabao felt that ever since Meibao returned, news about Peijie seemed to have increased, which was not a good thing for her. She wanted to escape far away to sort out her feelings.
