"Let me drive you home," said Jim. Without waiting for her response, he stood up and walked outside,
looking a little annoyed.
Janice followed her out immediately.
Looking at her back, Eva sighed. It must be very painful to love someone who no longer loved her.
In the Rong Mansion, Ivy was also full of distress.
Recently, she had a very powerful rival in love.
She was Poppy, the daughter of an upstart in City C. Recently, she was responsible for the plan to
develop the Fashion Coast City with BELLA.
Poppy had always been an admirer of Hanson. As soon as she graduated from London Design School,
she returned to her home country and worked in her father's company.
Ivy was depressed. Her rival in love was too powerful.
She was both beauty and wisdom.
She felt threatened.
"Sister in law, what do you think I should do?" She lowered her head, her chin almost touching the
collar.
"Ivy, you have to be confident in yourself. You are the daughter of our Rong family. You are the best in
appearance, figure, talent and birth. For those rivals in love, let's get rid of them one by one," said
Essie, stroking her head.
"Brother Hanson's heart is so unpredictable. Sometimes he is gentle to me, and sometimes he
completely takes me as a passer-by, which makes me worry about gain and loss every day," said Ivy
sadly.
"Auntie, don't worry. Poppy must be wishful thinking. My daddy Hanson won't like her. My daddy
Hanson only likes auntie only," said Mili, patting her on the shoulder.
"Tonight, brother Hanson didn't invite me to the celebrity ball in Yang City. Sister in law, do you think he
invited Poppy?" At the thought of Poppy holding Hanson's arm to attend the ball, Ivy felt terrible and
almost burst into tears.
"Aunt, don't worry. I'll help you call daddy Hanson and ask him about it," Mili said and picked up the
phone.
"Daddy Hanson, who are you going to invite to be your partner for the ball tonight?" Mili asked as soon
as a deep and magnetic voice came through the phone.
"Baby, daddy is not going to the ball today. I have something to deal with in the company," said
Hanson.
"Daddy, tomorrow is weekend. Do you have time? I want to go and play with you," Mili asked in a
spoiled tone.
"Okay. Do you need daddy to pick you up?" Hanson asked with a smile.
"No, thanks. I will ask aunt to send me there," said Mili.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Hanson's tone was full of love.
"Bye, daddy Hanson." After hanging up the phone, Mili turned to look at Ivy and said, "Auntie, I've told
you that you're overthinking. Daddy Hanson is not going to the ball tonight, so he didn't invite you."
"Okay," answered Ivy in a low voice, feeling a little better.
"Dress up well tomorrow. Keep an eye on Mili for me," said Essie, putting her arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law," said Ivy with a smile.
On the early morning of the second day, Ivy got up and dressed up. Then she went to Yang City with
Mili.
Hanson planned to take them to the sea. Everyone was happy at first, but they didn't expect that an
uninvited guest would come before they went out.
It was Poppy, Ivy's rival in love.
Hearing that they were going to sail, Poppy volunteered to go with them.
A shadow flitted over Ivy's face. This woman was so rude. Didn't she see that she was with Hanson?
She was probably challenging her on purpose.
Looking at Poppy, Mili pouted, "I'm sorry, aunt. You don't have an appointment. We can't take you
there."
Poppy glanced at her and smiled, "Then I'll make an appointment now. I have something to talk with
Mr. Xia about the cooperation project. We can talk about it on the yacht."
"Auntie, we are family and we don't like outsiders to take part in our family activities. If you have
something to deal with, you can come to my daddy Hanson's office on Monday to talk about it," Mili
said bluntly. She didn't like her aunt's rival in love at all.
"It doesn't matter. Let Auntie Poppy go with us. It's more fun to have more people," Hanson continued,
stroking her head.
Mili pursed her lips and didn't say anything. It seemed that Poppy, the glue, was determined to cling on
them. She had to think a way to deal with her after they got on the yacht.
It was a sunny day. It was a good day to go to sea.
When the yacht arrived at the center of the empty sea, Poppy went to the dressing room to change into
swimsuit.
Her figure was quite hot, and her chest was two sizes larger than that of Ivy's.
Looking at her, Ivy was very angry. It was obvious that she was putting on a swimsuit seduction.
"Mr. Xia, can you apply some sunscreen for me?" Poppy handed the sunscreen to Hanson. Mili
grabbed it without hesitation and said, "Aunt Poppy, let me help you apply it."
"Little girl, you are still young. You don't know how to do it." Poppy smiled and was about to take the
sunscreen, but Mili put her hand behind her back.
"Auntie Poppy, I'm a prodigy. Of course I can do everything. I often help my mommy apply sunscreen."
A trace of gloom flitted across Poppy's face. This little devil was really hard to deal with.
"Well, you have to apply it carefully. Don't waste it. I bought it in Italy."
"Don't worry. If I waste it, I'll pay you double. I can buy anything that existed on the earth for you," Mili
said slowly, with a hint of mockery on her face. This woman looked like a nouveau riche.
Mili squeezed some sunscreen into her hand and began to apply it on her body.
Hanson and Ivy went to the opposite sofa and sat down.
"Aunt Poppy, do you know that my daddy Hanson has a girlfriend?" Mili asked while applying the
sunscreen.
Poppy was shocked, "Mr. Xia has a girlfriend. Who is she?"
"She is my aunt Ivy," said Mili.
Poppy smiled, "I only heard that Miss Rong is pursuing Mr. Xia, but Mr. Xia hasn't accepted her and
has a relationship with her."
"Your news is delaying so much. My daddy Hanson and aunt Ivy have been dating secretly for a long
time. They just haven't made their relationship public. My daddy Hanson loves my aunt Ivy very much.
He only applies sunscreen fo her, not other women," Mili said seriously.
Poppy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Little girl, your ideal is good, and the reality is less
likely so. Although you really hope that your daddy Hanson can be with your aunt Ivy, unfortunately, it
seems that your daddy Hanson hasn't fallen in love with your aunt Ivy yet."
"I know better than you who my daddy Hanson loves and whom he doesn't love." Mili rolled her eyes at
her. What a shameless mistress!
"Even if you are a prodigy, you can't understand what adults think." Poppy sneered.
"Auntie Poppy, I'm warning you out of kindness. I hope you can stop now, because my daddy Hanson
will never like you," said Mili.
"Why?" Poppy asked casually, not taking this little girl's words seriously at all. Even if Hanson was
really dating with Ivy, as long as they were not married, she had the right to pursue him.
"Because you don't have a good luck face. Although your eyes are big, the proportion of the white part
is too big. Your nose is high, but there is a mole on it, and your chin is too pointed. These are the marks
of a jinx. You have them all on your face, and my daddy Hanson doesn't dare to date you," said Mili.
Poppy's face turned livid. This little monster said that she was a jinx. How hateful.
"Little girl, what do you know? Luck face or a jinx is just superstition. It is not right. Don't you know
that?"
"Auntie Poppy, the Eight Characters and Physiognomy is very important in the marriage of our wealthy
and influential families. Those who did not have a good Eight Characters and Physiognomy couldn't
pass. You are a typical example of being directly eliminated." After saying that, Mili put down the
sunscreen, sat down on a nearby chair and began to drink juice.
Poppy's face darkened. "Little girl. I have specially asked a master to tell the fortune of my fate. My
Eight Characters are good."
"You don't have a lucky face. It is useless even if you have good Eight Characters. Just like my bad
aunt, whoever marries her will be unlucky." Crossing her arms across her chest, Mili stared at her with
her big eyes, looking defiant.
Sitting on the opposite sofa, Ivy looked at the quirky look of Mili and laughed secretly. Mili was a sharp
tongued little girl who was invincible in the world. Judging from the gloomy expression on Poppy's face,
it was obvious that she wanted to jump.
Lowering her head, Hanson played with his phone, pretending not to hear or see anything. After all, Mili
was just a child. She didn't go too far no matter what she said.
Poppy took two deep breaths in a row and decided not to lower herself to the same level as the little
girl, in case she looked too childish.
She sat on the chair, picked up the cold cocktail, took a sip, and turned to Hanson, "Mr. Xia, your sworn
daughter is so smart."
"Miss Poppy, don't mind what children say." Hanson smiled.
"Of course I won't argue with a child," Poppy said with a smile.
"Daddy Hanson, I have something to tell you. My aunt Ivy's classmate came from the United States. He
traveled thousands of miles across the seas in order to pursue her," said Mili, rolling her two big black
eyes, and then she stood up, walked to Hanson and sat down next to him.
Hearing this, Ivy, who was drinking a mouthful of juice, choked hard and coughed several times to calm
herself down. "Mili, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. His name is Robert. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is tall and strong,
very handsome. He was born in a noble family in New York. He is a lawyer himself. He and aunt are
well matched judging from social rank," Mili said in a very serious tone.
"We are just friends," Ivy explained immediately.
"How could a friend send roses to you? He learned Chinese for you." Mili pouted.
"Mili, your aunt Ivy is such a good girl. It's normal for someone to chase after her," Hanson said in a
casual tone, expressionless, and his dark eyes flickered slightly.
"Daddy Hanson, you should know that fate does not wait for anyone. You have missed it once, and
don't miss it a second time." Mili sighed.
