So, under the witness of several people including the eldest brother of the Xu family, Fu Jin wrote a letter of guarantee. In addition to promising to come to propose marriage during the Chinese New Year, he also wrote down what happened between the two of them tonight.

Fu Jin looked at the letter of guarantee. It was the first humiliation in his life.

When Brother Xu saw that he had finished writing, he immediately put it away and asked Xu Yanping to go home with him.

Xu Yanping, still wrapped in the bed sheet, pleaded with Brother Xu, "Brother, I want to talk to Fu Jin before I leave."

Brother Xu had a look of disappointment on his face: "I'll give you five minutes, hurry up."

After spending some time with Fu Jin, Xu Yanping knew his temper very well. After slapping him, she naturally had to give him a sweet reward.

After Brother Xu and his men left, Xu Yanping walked over and helped Fu Jin up.

Fu Jin was still angry and felt that he had been very cowardly just now. His attitude towards Xu Yanping was a bit bad.

He shook off Xu Yanping's hand and sat alone in a chair beside him, sulking.

Seeing this, Xu Yanping didn't get angry. She walked over and grabbed his arm: "Don't be angry."

Fu Jin tried to shake it off, but failed. Afraid that Brother Xu and the others had not gone far from the door, he looked at Xu Yanping's slender neck and clenched his fists.

Seeing that Fu Jin did not refuse again, Xu Yanping coaxed him, "What happened today was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect my eldest brother and the others to follow us.

But they are doing this for my own good. After we get married, I will definitely ask them to take back the guarantee letter, okay?"

Fu Jin, who had calmed down, looked slightly colder and replied indifferently, "Yeah."

Xu Yanping didn't notice the cold light in his eyes. She was still immersed in the joy of capturing Fu Jin. She changed her clothes and went home with Brother Xu and the others.

Fu Jin stood by the window on the second floor of the room, watching the people leaving. The lenses of his glasses reflected light, and behind the lenses was a bloodthirsty dark light.

Li Yang woke up again to the sound of firecrackers.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Ji Huaizhi sleeping next to me.

Ji Huaizhi was still lying flat on the edge of the bed with her hands on her lower abdomen. Her posture was standard but also made her feel a little tired.

Her long eyelashes were lightly closed, her nose was high and straight, and her thin lips were slightly pursed...

After Li Yang's eyes fell on Ji Huaizhi's lips, he suddenly couldn't move them away.

Inevitably, she thought of the passionate and unexpected kiss last night.

If it weren't for the sudden cheers of Yao Yunxiang and her brother from next door, she didn't know how things would develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Just as she was stunned, Ji Huaizhi opened his eyes, and with a drowsy look, he curled his lips at her: "Good morning."

Li Yang was caught off guard and fell in love with his good morning smile.

She was stunned for a moment before she said, "...Good morning."

Fortunately, Ji Huaizhi immediately turned over and got out of bed, ending the embarrassment early in the morning.

After Li Yang finished washing up, Ji Huaizhi also heated up breakfast.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened last night. He handed Li Yang a red envelope and said, "Happy New Year."

Li Yang looked at the heavy red envelope in his hand and laughed in surprise, "I'm an adult now, why am I still getting red envelopes?"

Ji Huaizhi rubbed the top of her head: "In front of me, you can always be a child."

Hearing this, Li Yang couldn't help but feel emotional.

In the past, when she was in the Li family, she and Li Xue basically did not receive red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. If Yang Chunhua was in a good mood one year, she might throw them to them with a look of disgust on her face. As for how much was in the red envelopes, there was no doubt that it was the smallest denomination banknote.

After the family split up, Feng Mei followed Yang Chunhua's example and gave Lai Yaozu her first red envelope each year, bulging with blessings. When it came to her, Feng Mei would either say she had forgotten to give it or reluctantly give her a small red envelope. Before she could even warm it, she would take it back with various excuses: "You're still young, I'm keeping it for you." Or "I'm short of a few cents for groceries, can you lend it to me first?"

Over time, Li Yang has become accustomed to being treated like this and no longer has any illusions about the New Year. In the end, the money will not reach her anyway.

Li Yang took the heavy red envelope in his hand and smiled: "Thank you, this is mine."

When breakfast was served, Bai Li was still nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that she was unwilling to come.

Yao Yunxiang moved a chair and leaned against the wall between the two houses. She said to Li Yang, "That Miss Bai didn't come out last night. I called her to get up this morning, but she ignored me."

Yao Yunxiang is the most outspoken person and can't stand Bai Li's behavior, as if everyone has to coax her.

Ji Huaizhi frowned: "I'll go and take a look."

"I'd better go." Li Yang stopped him, "After all, it was my mom who caused this."

Ji Huaizhi pondered and said, "Okay."

Li Yang went to Sister Qian's house and wished them a happy new year. Sister Qian gave her a look, indicating the location of Bai Li's room.

Sister Qian pulled her aside and said, "She hasn't come out since Xiao Ji left yesterday. She doesn't respond when you talk to her and is very angry. You should stop making trouble with her."

Li Yang nodded: "I understand. I'm sorry to trouble you."

The Lunar New Year should be a time of celebration, and even if a family has some unhappiness, they usually hold it in until after the Lunar New Year. Bai Li's actions not only brought bad luck to Qian's family, but also brought shame upon herself and Ji Huaizhi.

Li Yang walked to the door of Bai Li's room and knocked: "Miss Bai, it's me."

Bai Li was leaning against the head of the bed. She originally thought that it was Ji Huaizhi who came, but unexpectedly it was Li Yang. She lowered her eyelashes and ignored him.

Li Yang patiently knocked again and said, "Miss Bai, I'm going shopping with Ji Huaizhi later. Why don't you just rest at home?"

As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps deliberately hitting the ground inside. Soon, the door opened, and Bai Li's haggard face came into view.

It was obvious that she had not slept all night last night. Her face was pale, her lips were dull, and her eyes were dark. Because of the undisguised anger in her eyes, she did not look like a sickly beauty, but more like a female ghost.

Bai Li said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want?"

Li Yang raised his chin and asked, "Miss Bai, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Bai Li snorted, turned around and went into the house. Li Yang followed behind her and closed the door.

Li Yang looked around Bai Li's room. It wasn't spacious, but it was clean and bright. It was obvious that Sister Qian had put a lot of thought into it.

Li Yang sat down at the table and said, "Miss Bai, there are some things I'm not sure whether I should say or not."

Bai Li rolled her eyes at her. "Didn't you come here today just to show off? Why would you even ask for my opinion?"

Listening to Bai Li's accusations, Li Yang didn't get angry. He asked, "Miss Bai, did you look in the mirror this morning?"

Bai Li was confused: "What do you mean?"

Li Yang's lips curled up into a faint smile: "Miss Bai now looks like a female ghost in the movie."

Bai Li: “!”
