A street square.

Wow! Shishi!

A tall, beautiful girl excitedly rushed towards a girl wearing a long black down jacket.

Although people couldn't see their faces clearly, they were all infected by their cheerfulness.

Su Qingshi raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing on her lips beneath her mask.

At this moment, Jiang Yunxiao had already jumped into her arms and said happily, "It's been so long! I missed you so much!"

Beside him, Lin Xun's lips twitched slightly.

This is his girlfriend...

Su Qingshi chuckled: "I heard you got a permanent position?"

Jiang Yunxiao let go of her, smiling smugly: "Of course, I'm a very diligent and hardworking employee, and I even won the Best Intern Award."

Su Qingshi retorted, "Our company has seven interns for the second half of the year, and four of them are for the best intern. If you don't get any of those, that's a bit unreasonable."

Jiang Yunxiao's eyes widened: "What are you saying? I'm already doing a great job by competing with them for a spot, okay? Don't you even know what their educational background is?"

They're at least graduate students.

She's just a college graduate. If it weren't for her outgoing personality and social skills, how could she have closed deals?

"It's cold outside, let's find a place to sit down first," Lin Xun suddenly said.

Fang Ye nodded: "How about we go to my hot pot restaurant for a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun and Jiang Yunxiao's expressions both changed, as if they had thought of something bad.

"Forget it, let's go somewhere else. A hot pot restaurant? I estimate it'll take me two days to get there," Lin Xun said, embarrassed.

Jiang Yunxiao nodded quickly.

Fang Ye was both amused and exasperated: "Last time, it was purely an accident."

Su Qingshi said, "Shall we go eat barbecue?"

"OK!"

I think it's a good idea!

Lin Xun and Jiang Yunxiao both agreed.

A moment later, the four arrived at a rather luxurious barbecue restaurant. As soon as they entered, the aroma of barbecue wafted over them.

"It smells so good, my mouth is watering!" Jiang Yunxiao looked like a starving ghost.

Fang Ye was both amused and exasperated: "I booked a private room on the second floor, a 'guest' room. You guys go ahead, I'll go to the front desk to check."

The group nodded and then followed the waiter upstairs to the second floor.

The oven was very hot, and the group was sweating profusely in no time.

Lin Xun poured Su Qingshi a glass of orange juice.

The latter's lips were red from the spiciness and had a layer of oil, but her face had a hint of craving, making her extremely cute.

The same applies to Jiang Yunxiao.

Both women were exceptionally beautiful, and the two men were very glad they had booked a private room. Otherwise, they would have been at a huge loss if other men had been staring at them.

During this time, Su Qingshi and Jiang Yunxiao were chatting. After not seeing each other for several months, Jiang Yunxiao seemed to have endless things to say, chattering away non-stop. Lin Xun and Fang Ye, on the other hand, took the initiative to grill meat and feed it to their wives.

After finishing their barbecue, they parted ways at the intersection, with no intention of continuing their stroll.

Lin Xun and his companion were fully armed again. Although it was very hot inside the barbecue restaurant, the temperature dropped visibly as soon as they came out, the warmth dissipated and a chill set in.

"Senior, shall we go back to the main house or to your place?" Lin Xun asked, taking Su Qingshi's hand.

Su Qingshi said, "Let's go back to my place and put the things down while we're at it."

Lin Xun nodded: "Okay."

Temperatures plummeted for a week before gradually rising, but this was followed by heavy rain.

The heavy rain lasted for two days, from morning till night.

However, due to the weather in Kyoto, the air became fresh after the rain stopped, but it was also cold.

"I hope this rain doesn't last until the New Year?" Lin Xun murmured, gazing at the downpour outside the window.

Just then, a blanket was draped over him, and a complaining voice came from behind: "Why did you open the window? Aren't you cold?"

Lin Xun's expression softened. He turned around and saw Su Qingshi, dressed in fleece-lined pajamas, looking at him with a frown.

"Hey, senior, you're awake?"

Su Qingshi nodded slightly: "Is something on your mind? What are you doing standing here?"

She and Lin Xun had been together for a long time, so he couldn't hide anything from her.

Lin Xun shrugged: "It's nothing to worry about, it's just that Little Fatty sent a message asking us to get together in Liangcheng."

Xiao Pang, Li Erpang, Lin Xun's best friend from high school.

Su Qingshi recognized that fat man.

After a pause, Su Qingshi said, "If you want to go, I'll go with you."

It's almost the end of the year, and she doesn't have much to do, so she can spend time with Lin Xun.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Let's talk about that later. The weather is so cold now, how about we go during the New Year?"

Su Qingshi had no objection and nodded, "I'll listen to you."

The voice carried a hint of gentleness, which stirred Lin Xun's heart.

He affectionately pinched her cheeks: "Senior, why are you so obedient?"

good?

Su Qingshi's expression shifted, then she calmly slapped Lin Xun's hand away, adopting a haughty demeanor: "Where have I been obedient? That description doesn't describe me at all."

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

He thought that his senior was mostly well-behaved, and she rarely refused his requests.

"The day after tomorrow is the eve of the Lunar New Year. Let's go home and have a meal with our parents," Lin Xun suggested.

Su Qingshi nodded slightly: "That's fine."

The eve of the Lunar New Year is not actually a special holiday, but ordinary families will pay attention to it.

The Lin family was the same, because they had been celebrating the Lunar New Year's Eve for years, so even after returning to Kyoto, they did not abandon these customs.

Time flew by, and on the morning of the eve of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xun and Su Qingshi returned to the Lin family villa.

"You brat, I thought you weren't coming back for the New Year." Gu Yanyan looked at her son with a hint of resentment.

Lin Xun's lips twitched: "Mom, is that how you feel about me?"

Gu Yanyan said calmly, "I don't miss you, I miss my daughter-in-law, okay?"

After saying that, he pulled Su Qingshi aside to chat.

Lin Xun: ...

really.

He's become numb.

Lin Batian leisurely drank tea on the sofa, showing no interest in what was happening here.

Heh, he doesn't want to provoke his own wife.

Doesn't he know what kind of personality his wife has?

"Old Lin, the company is doing pretty well this year, right?" Lin Xun sat down opposite Lin Batian.

The latter poured him a cup of tea and replied, "It's alright. After acquiring several companies, including the Qin family, the Lin family's scale has further expanded."

"China has firmly secured its position at the top of the wealth list, and there is hope that it can push its ranking on the world wealth list even higher next year."

Looking at his father, Lin Xun had to admit he admired him greatly. His father was only in his forties, yet in just over twenty years he had developed a company into such a large-scale enterprise—truly impressive.

"By the way, Xiao Su's abilities are getting better and better. I think that once you graduate, the two of you can take over the company," Lin Batian suddenly said.

Lin Xun's lips twitched, and he said, "Dad, you're not giving us a moment to breathe!"
