Ren Fa couldn't stop smiling. He casually put the pair of jade lions into the gift box and put them away. His gaze towards Xiao Ning became even more intense.
After receiving the gift, Ren Fa felt even more that this young man was quite remarkable, possessing considerable wealth, and his desire to match him with his daughter grew stronger.
"Perhaps, this kid also intends to marry Tingting..."
Ren Fa is a businessman who has been in the business world for decades, so he must be very careful in his interpersonal relationships.
He is very cautious in his words and actions, which can be seen from his attitude towards Lin Fengjiao.
Although Lin Fengjiao is powerful, in this era where Taoism is declining and is almost at the end of its life, her social status is far inferior to that of Ren Fa.
However, Ren Fa still treated him with great respect and politeness. This kind of person is prone to overthinking and is commonly known as a "brainstormer".
"Hey, where did Tingting go? Why hasn't she come down yet?"
Taking a sip of tea to suppress his joy, Ren Fa frowned and said to the maid standing to the side, "Where is Miss? Call Miss down and tell her that we have distinguished guests!"
"Yes, sir!" the maid replied and left.
Ren Fa smiled apologetically at Xiao Ning and said, "Nephew, please don't be offended. This girl lost her mother when she was young, and I spoiled her rotten!"
"However, not to boast, but my Tingting has been well-educated, virtuous and kind since she was a child. A couple of years ago, she even studied Western learning at a girls' high school in the provincial capital. She has both the gentleness and virtue of Chinese women and the cheerfulness and liveliness of Western women."
Ren Fa paused, his eyes narrowing into slits with a smile, and lowered his voice, saying, "My dear nephew has studied abroad, so I think he and my daughter will get along well."
That old geezer never misses an opportunity to promote his daughter.
That's really bad!
Xiao Ning secretly despised this behavior, but his face showed anticipation as he said, "Uncle's words make me even more excited!"
"Haha, you'll soon find out, my dear nephew, whether what I said is true or not!"
Ren Fa laughed heartily and said.
"Father!"
Just then, a graceful figure descended from the second floor, her voice preceding her arrival.
Xiao Ning looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ren Tingting's figure, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes.
If yesterday, Ren Tingting, dressed in a Western-style gown, was a stylish modern woman, then now she resembles a refined lady from the Republican era.
Wearing women's clothing from the Republican era, she exudes the unique charm of that time.
At this moment, Ren Tingting looked like a demure and sweet schoolgirl.
It's truly unexpected that Ren Tingting could possess two such distinct qualities!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ning couldn't help but be amazed.
"Tingting's here! Come over here quickly!"
Master Ren chuckled and turned to Xiao Ning, saying, "Nephew, this is my daughter Tingting. She is eighteen years old and has just graduated from the provincial girls' high school!"
“Tingting, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Ning, our nephew, who recently moved to Renjia Town. He bought the former Li family’s house and plans to settle down in Renjia Town.”
“My nephew Xiao studied in the West, but both his parents have passed away, and he is all alone and helpless!”
"Tingting, you two are about the same age, you should get to know each other better in the future!"
After listening to her father's story, the girl looked at Xiao Ning with surprise, seeing his handsome and refined appearance, gentle and jade-like demeanor, and charming smile.
"Oh?! How pitiful!"
Ren Tingting blushed and her heart pounded. She quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao, my name is Tingting."
"Ms. Ren, hello, I am Xiao Ning."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Xiao Ning smiled and said.
"Tingting, please sit down!"
Seeing the girl's shy expression and the boy's bright eyes, Ren Fa was very happy and quickly invited his daughter to sit down.
Ren Tingting sat down next to Xiao Ning. As they got closer, Xiao Ning smelled a faint fragrance. He knew it was the scent of a young girl's virginity.
Of course, there are also rumors that it smells like menstrual blood.
Xiao Ning scoffed, saying that these people knew nothing and were just spouting nonsense.
In fact, most girls will unconsciously emit an indescribable fragrance before losing their virginity.
This is a fragrance that no perfume, no matter how expensive, can compare to.
Once a girl becomes a young woman, whether it's two or three years or three to five years, this fragrance will gradually dissipate, and no method can stop it.
With Xiao Ning's near-perfect kill count of a thousand, having tasted all sorts of beauties, he is the most qualified to speak on this matter.
Moreover, after taking a careful look, he observed that Ren Tingting's hair was soft and not dry or yellow, her eyebrows were well-defined and not messy, her eyes were clear and bright, and her nose was straight and not sunken.
Xiao Ning understood that this was a sign that she was still a virgin.
"This Mr. Xiao is very handsome! And he has such a refined air about him. No wonder he's a top student who studied abroad in the West; he has even more charisma than the professors at the university!"
"His... gaze is so intense. I feel like I'm on fire, burning hot. Is this the feeling of falling in love?"
Ren Tingting looked shy and bashful, her mind wandering freely, her thoughts churning endlessly. She would glance at Xiao Ning from time to time, and when he looked at her, she would immediately lower her head like a frightened ostrich, wishing she could bury it in her chest.
