Hearing this, Xia Ruofei could not help but reveal a gratified smile. This was his real gift to Huanhuan. The limited edition Hello Kitty was just a show for others to see.
Xia Ruofei's seemingly casual actions had actually repaired the pendant and improved the defensive formation.
Compared to when he first made the pendant, whether it was the cultivation of his mental strength or his understanding of formations, they were on two completely different levels. The defensive formations he set up now were naturally more complete and powerful.
At the same time, with Xia Ruofei's current understanding of formations, he easily nested a small Spirit Gathering Formation on top of the defensive formation, which could gather strands of free spiritual energy.
This was also the reason why Huanhuan felt very comfortable after wearing the pendant.
Even Ma Xiong and the others who were beside Huanhuan felt very comfortable. They didn't know why, but it was completely a subconscious feeling, but they knew that it must have something to do with the pendant.
Ma Xiong was the first to react. He said excitedly, "Xia Sheng, this gift of yours is really too precious! Huanhuan, why don't you thank Uncle Xia? "
Huanhuan felt a little strange in her heart. She had just thanked Xia Ruofei! However, she was well-behaved and immediately said sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Xia!"
Xia Ruofei looked at the cute Huanhuan dotingly and said with a smile, "You're welcome! This is a small gift from Uncle Xia to Huanhuan. I hope that Huanhuan will become smarter in the future and your grades will get better and better! "
Huanhuan actually didn't quite understand because the pendant was still the same pendant. Xia Ruofei only touched it a few times. How could it become a new gift? However, she had always believed in Xia Ruofei's words without a doubt. Hearing this, she nodded heavily.
She said, "Uncle Xia, Huanhuan's grades are very good. I often get first place in class!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and walked over to touch Huanhuan's head. He said, "Then become smarter and get first place in the grade in the future! Become the smartest child in Hong Kong! "
"Yes!" Huanhuan nodded and said.
Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin also quickly thanked Xia Ruofei. At this moment, they felt that Huanhuan was really lucky to have met such a noble person like Xia Ruofei. They were very gratified in their hearts.
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ma, Aunt Huixin, you don't have to be so polite. As I said, I have fate with Huanhuan and I like her from the bottom of my heart!"
Ma smiled and said, "Xia Sheng, I think Huanhuan also likes you. Why don't you accept her as your goddaughter?"
"I think so!" Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin said in unison.
Xia Ruofei hurriedly waved his hand and said and said, "No! If Lu You knows, she won't let me off! "
Lu You and Huanhuan were cousins. In fact, she had strongly protested before. Huanhuan had also changed the way she called Xia Ruofei "Brother Ruofei," but this little girl sometimes still liked to call him "Uncle Xia." Xia Ruofei was too lazy to correct her.
From Xia Ruofei's point of view, seniority was not a big deal. He could even accept the elderly Li Yifu calling him Grand Martial Uncle.
However, if Huanhuan really recognized him as her godfather, then the seniority would be a bit messy. Did Lu You have to call him uncle when she saw him?
Moreover, he had always called Tian Huilan "Aunt Tian" and Tian Huixin "Aunt Huixin". If he recognized Huanhuan as his goddaughter, wouldn't he be in the same generation as Tian Huixin?
Tian Huixin was stunned for a moment and then laughed. She didn't think of this.
After a quick thought, Tian Huixin smiled and said, "Ruofei, why don't you take Huanhuan as your godsister? What do you think? This way, there won't be any doubts about seniority. "
This time, Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming didn't know what to say.
For a long time, Xia Ruofei had called the father and son "Mr. Ma" and "Mr. Ma." Although he called Tian Huixin "Aunt Huixin," this was also based on Tian Huilan. It had nothing to do with the father and son.
If Huanhuan became Xia Ruofei's godsister, then in theory, Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming would become Xia Ruofei's elders. Although they wouldn't be promoted to godfather and godgrandfather, the seniority would still be established.
They didn't know what Xia Ruofei was thinking, so naturally, they couldn't say anything.
In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't have such complicated thoughts at all. In fact, he respected Ma Xiong. After all, Ma Xiong was his grandfather, and Ma Xiong was good to him from the bottom of his heart. He was definitely a loyal elder.
Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate and said straightforwardly, "Okay! As long as Huanhuan is willing, I have no problem! "
"Huanhuan is definitely willing!" Tian Huixin said quickly.
Then she immediately reacted and turned to look at Huanhuan and asked, "Huanhuan, are you willing to let Brother Ruofei be your brother?"
This question was a bit confusing. At Huanhuan's age, she was naturally confused.
She asked with a confused face, "Isn't Brother Ruofei my brother? Also, I prefer to call him Uncle Xia … "
At that time, when Huanhuan took the medicine made by Xia Ruofei for the first time and gradually walked out of her lonely inner world, she had always called Xia Ruofei "Uncle Xia," so she was somewhat obsessed with this title.
Although she had changed it for a period of time because of Lu You's protest, she still preferred to call him "Uncle Xia" in her heart.
Tian Huixin smiled bitterly. She thought for a while and said, "Mom is talking about a real brother, like … Yuanyuan from your class and her brother, Junhao."
This time, Huanhuan understood a little. Her eyes gradually showed a trace of joy and she said, "I understand! Just like Yuanyuan and Brother Junhao, they have the same parents! But … "
The little girl showed a confused expression again and asked, "But you're not Uncle Xia's mother!"
Tian Huixin couldn't help but blush. She coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness and said, "I'm asking if you're willing to let Uncle Xia be your brother, just like Brother Junhao and Yuanyuan. I'm not saying that Uncle Xia was born by Mom …"
This explanation made Xia Ruofei feel a little embarrassed.
Huanhuan finally understood. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "I'm willing! With Brother Junhao around, the boys in class never dare to bully Yuanyuan! In the future, I can be like Yuanyuan! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Huanhuan, I may not be able to protect you like Brother Junhao protects Yuanyuan, because I don't need to go to primary school anymore! But I will also treat you like my own sister! "
Huanhuan seemed a little disappointed, but she still nodded and said, "Okay … Then … Can I never call you Uncle Xia again?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes! You called me Brother Ruofei some time ago. Isn't that good? "
"Okay! Brother Ruofei! "Huanhuan said.
It could be seen that she was quite obsessed with the title of Uncle Xia.
Seeing this, Ma Xiong was overjoyed and quickly said, "Xia Sheng, this is great news! After the auction is over, I'll hold a big banquet to announce this good news! And … Huanhuan, you can just call me Brother in the future. You don't have to call me Brother Ruofei! "
The people of Hong Kong still attached great importance to the recognition of godparents. This was a kind of relationship second only to blood relations. In some big families, some outstanding godsons also had the right of inheritance.
And the recognition of godparents often required a banquet to invite friends, which was almost the same as announcing to the world.
Huanhuan blinked her big eyes. She didn't know why she had changed the way she addressed Xia Ruofei, but she had a very good relationship with him, so it wasn't particularly difficult for her to change the way she addressed him.
After Huanhuan recovered, she was very well-behaved, so she immediately nodded and said, "I know, Grandpa!"
Then she looked at Xia Ruofei very sensibly. Her expression was a little shy, but she still called out, "Brother!"
Hearing Huanhuan's soft voice, Xia Ruofei's heart seemed to melt. He responded happily, "Hey! Huanhuan, it seems that I have to prepare another gift for you! "
Ma Xiong quickly said, "Xia Sheng, you've given Huanhuan enough. You don't have to give her a gift!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "That won't do! It's very important to recognize a godsister. But I can't take out a gift now. I have to think about what to prepare for my sister! "
Then Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Ma, since I've recognized Huanhuan as my sister, we're family. I think we have to change the way we address each other. How about this? I'll call you Grandpa Ma, Mr. Ma, Uncle Ma, and you can call me Ruofei like Aunt Huixin!"
Of course, Ma Xiong couldn't ask for more. He smiled so widely that he couldn't close his mouth. He quickly said, "Okay! Ruofei, then Zhiming and I will be too arrogant! "
Although it was only a change in the way they addressed each other, everyone immediately felt that the distance between them had shortened a lot. Huanhuan could also feel the harmonious relationship between the adults, so she was very happy.
After everyone chatted for a while, Ma Xiong said, "Zhiming, Huixin, take Huanhuan home to rest first! I have something to discuss with Ruofei! "
"Okay, Daddy!" Ma Zhiming said immediately.
Tian Huixin also said to Huanhuan, who had been lying in Xia Ruofei's arms, "Huanhuan, let's go! Go home with Daddy and Mommy. "
"Mommy, I want to stay a little longer …" Huanhuan said with some reluctance.
Xia Ruofei touched Huanhuan's head and said with a smile, "Huanhuan, you're at the age where your body is growing. You have to ensure that you get enough sleep. Be obedient and go home with Daddy and Mommy to rest first. You can still see your brother tomorrow! I'll stay in Hong Kong for a few more days this time. I can play with you then! "
"Okay!" Huanhuan still listened to Xia Ruofei's words. Although she was reluctant, she still agreed obediently.
Xia Ruofei put Huanhuan down. Tian Huixin held her hand and said goodbye to Xia Ruofei. The couple left the presidential suite with Huanhuan, who kept looking back.
Ma Xiong said with emotion, "Ruofei, I can't help but feel a little jealous when I see Huanhuan's attachment to you!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Grandpa Ma, you're Huanhuan's biological grandfather. This kind of blood relationship is thicker than water. No one can replace it."
"Yes!" Ma Xiong said with relief, "Huanhuan was diagnosed with autism when she was very young. In the past, I didn't even dare to imagine that one day she would be able to communicate with us normally. As for her calling me Grandpa, that was an extravagant hope! Now, it has far exceeded our expectations. Ruofei, just for this, our Ma family will always be grateful to you! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Grandpa Ma, didn't we say that we wouldn't talk about this? We're a family. You're too polite to say this! "
Ma Xiong was very comforted and said, "Yes! A family! A family! "
Ma Xiong calmed down and said, "Ruofei, since we're a family, then we can't be strangers, right? So, all the expenses of this auction will be covered by our Hengfeng Group! "
Xia Ruofei quickly said, "This can't be! Relationship is relationship, business is business. You can't not take the money that you should take. Otherwise, how can we have a long-term cooperation? "
Ma Xiong said, "You're Huanhuan's godbrother. As Huanhuan's grandfather, I'm providing some venues and resources for your company's auction. What's the big deal?"
"No, no, no! That's not how the account is calculated. " Xia Ruofei said, "Grandpa Ma, our company will definitely make money by holding this auction. And it will make a lot of money. There's no reason for us to make money and let you help us! It doesn't make sense! "
"The venues and resources are ready-made. It's not like we're paying for it!" Ma Xiong said. "Ruofei, if you continue to argue with me, then you're treating me like an outsider!"
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect this old man to block him with words.
However, Xia Ruofei also had Xia Ruofei's principles. He certainly could accept Ma Xiong's kindness.
After thinking about it, Xia Ruofei said, "Grandpa Ma, it's definitely not possible to not take a penny. The hotel has even been cleared for the auction. There are so many publicity resources, material production, and so on. They all cost money. You can't pay for all these expenses!"
Then Xia Ruofei said, "I think it's better this way. Since you said that we're family, then I won't be polite with you. I don't want Hengfeng Auction to charge according to the market price, but the normal operating expenses and the expenses of the auction are still borne by us. Our company is making a lot of money. Hengfeng has to at least break even! Otherwise, I won't be able to live with it! Grandpa Ma, this is my bottom line. If you still don't accept it, then we can only follow the contract! "
Ma Xiong smiled bitterly. "You! You just said that you're not treating me like an outsider! Now you're bargaining with me for so long for a few million … Okay, okay, okay! We'll do as you say! "
Xia Ruofei said, "You're not allowed to tamper with the accounts! This time, I even brought the chief financial officer with me. We will calculate every expense clearly! "
Ma Xiong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay! Let's settle the accounts as brothers! The cost will be borne by the Taoyuan Company. However, I won't accept any extra money! "
"It's a deal!" Xia Ruofei said.
After talking about the cost, Ma Xiong said, "Oh yeah, Ruofei, I'm looking for you for one more thing …"
Xia Ruofei stood up with a smile and said, "Grandpa Ma, you don't have to say anything. I've already prepared it for you! Wait a moment! "
After that, Xia Ruofei went straight to the room where the freezer was placed. After a while, he came out with a small box.
