Chapter 261: A Day Without Seeing Is Like a Year
"Mu Lingfeng, why is it so quiet over there? Don't you set off firecrackers or fireworks during the New Year?"
After the fireworks around him burned out, Yun Jin realized something was wrong and began to ask.
"My grandma likes quietness. She doesn't like these." Facing Yun Jin's question, Mu Lingfeng said a little helplessly.
From childhood to adulthood, the Mu family has never set off fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. When he was a child, Mu Lingfeng watched other children play with these and made a fuss, but after being scolded by Old Lady Mu, he gave up the idea.
He had spent the New Year like this over the years and didn't think it was a big deal. But when Yun Jin asked him this, his childhood desire for fireworks and firecrackers once again returned to Mu Lingfeng's heart.
"So that's how it is. You're really pitiful, but don't worry. Next year during the Chinese New Year, I'll accompany you to set off firecrackers and fireworks."
After hearing Mu Lingfeng's words, Yun Jin felt really sad for Mu Lingfeng. It was so imperfect that they couldn't set off firecrackers during the New Year. She immediately made a promise to Mu Lingfeng.
"Next year, when the New Year comes, you will leave with your family like this year, leaving me all alone. How can you accompany me to set off firecrackers?"
Yun Jin's words warmed Mu Lingfeng's heart, but when he thought that she was not by his side now, Mu Lingfeng complained again.
"Young man, don't be so angry, or you'll age quickly." Yun Jin smiled and joked, not knowing how to answer Mu Lingfeng.
Who knows what will happen next year? Yunjin generally does not make promises in advance about unknown things.
"Why, you like me just because I'm older?" Although he knew Yun Jin was joking, Mu Lingfeng still asked with a smile.
"Of course not. No matter what you become, in my heart, you will always be the most handsome." Not wanting to add new sorrow to the lonely Mu Lingfeng, Yun Jin spoke nicely to him.
"You still have some conscience!" Yun Jin's words really pleased Mu Lingfeng.
"Sister, come here and continue setting off fireworks!" Chen Xiaotong, who was not far away, saw Yun Jin holding the phone and urged her.
"Go ahead, we'll talk later." Chen Xiaotong's voice was so loud that Mu Lingfeng could hear it, and he said sympathetically.
After hearing what he said, Yun Jin hung up the phone with a smile and joined Chen Xiaotong in setting off firecrackers.
When Yunjin returned to her room to sleep after all the trouble, it was almost 2 a.m. She fell into bed and fell asleep without any dreams all night.
The next morning, when Yunjin woke up and came out of the room, she found that the main hall of her second grandfather's house was already full of people.
Yunjin looked around and saw that they were all relatives who came to wish their second grandfather a happy new year.
"Xiao Jin, come here quickly!" Seeing Yun Jin coming out, Second Grandpa immediately called her.
After he called out like that, everyone looked at Yun Jin, which made her feel embarrassed. She apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, I got up late."
"We all understand that young people tend to be sleepy." The second grandmother at the side responded with a smile.
After she finished speaking, everyone around her nodded in agreement, which made Yun Jin feel a lot better.
"Here, Xiaojin, this is the red envelope I prepared for you." After Yunjin stood in front of him, Second Grandpa handed her a red envelope.
"Second Grandpa, I have been working for so many years. This year, I will not accept your red envelope no matter what." Seeing this, Yun Jin quickly declined.
"Take it. In Second Grandpa's heart, you will always be a child. This red envelope is Second Grandpa's blessing to you. You must take it."
Seeing that Yunjin didn't want to accept it, Second Grandpa became anxious and started to persuade her.
In the end, Yun Jin couldn't argue with him and had to accept the red envelope.
Holding the red envelope, Yun Jin immediately took a photo and posted it to her Moments, with the caption: I feel so lucky to receive a red envelope at such an old age!
A few minutes after the post was published on WeChat Moments, people kept giving likes. Yang Qianqian even asked, "Who sent you the red envelope? I want it too."
Zhu Ying's comment followed closely behind Yang Qianqian's: "Children who get red envelopes are indeed very happy!"
"There's a surprise in the suitcase!" Yun Jin was reading the comments when Mu Lingfeng sent a WeChat message to her.
After reading the message, Yun Jin thought about it and returned to the room.
After opening the suitcase, Yun Jin rummaged around and finally saw an envelope inside the compartment. When she opened it, she found a bank card inside.
“?” Yun Jin sent a question mark on Mu Lingfeng’s WeChat.
"Here's a New Year's red envelope for you. Buy whatever you like." Soon, Mu Lingfeng called.
"Mr. Mu, from the sound of your voice, how much money is there in this bank card?" Yun Jin asked.
"Eighty million!" Mu Lingfeng responded.
Hearing the amount Mu Lingfeng said, Yun Jin was so scared that she almost dropped her bank card on the ground. It was so much money! She had never thought in her life that she would have so much money.
"Xiao Jin, this is my savings over the years. Please keep it safe for me. I will use it when we get married."
Knowing that Yunjin would not be able to accept the bank card smoothly, Mu Lingfeng thought of a reason in advance.
"How could a member of the dignified Mu family have only this little savings? Mu Lingfeng, you lied to me." If it were in the past, Yun Jin would definitely believe it immediately, but after learning of Mu Lingfeng's true identity, she would not be easily fooled again.
"Xiao Jin, I'm talking about my own savings. It has nothing to do with the Mu family. Marriage is a matter between the two of us. I don't want to use the Mu family's money, so you have to keep this card for me."
Under Mu Lingfeng's persuasion, Yun Jin finally agreed to keep the bank card.
"What are your plans for today?" Mu Lingfeng asked Yun Jin about her next plans after Yun Jin accepted the bank card.
"Today, many relatives came to my second grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings. I will go to the kitchen to help later." This is an annual routine, and Yun Jin has become accustomed to it.
But Mu Lingfeng, who was not aware of the situation, immediately became worried when he heard Yun Jin say that she was going to help in the kitchen: "Xiao Jin, will that be very tiring? You must take care of your body and don't let yourself get tired."
"I'm used to these things. It's not very tiring. Mu Lingfeng, don't worry about me." Yun Jin comforted him.
"Xiao Jin, I miss you so much!" Mu Lingfeng felt relieved after hearing Yun Jin say that. Then, he began to confess his longing for Yun Jin again.
"We've only been apart for five days, Mu Lingfeng, can you please stop being so corny?" Yun Jin was left speechless by Mu Lingfeng's sentimental remarks and accused him.
"Xiao Jin, don't you miss me?" Upon hearing this, Mu Lingfeng immediately asked back.
"Think about it, of course I miss you!" After giving a satisfactory answer, Yun Jin got the chance to hang up the phone.
A few minutes later, Mu Lingfeng, who hadn't posted to his Moments for eight hundred years, posted a message for the first time: It feels like a long time since we last met!
Soon after the post was published on WeChat Moments, it was liked by many people.
Many employees in the company saw this circle of friends and asked Yun Jin in the company employee group: "Is President Mu in a relationship?"
"Secretary Yun, do you know who Mr. Mu's girlfriend is?"
"Secretary Yun, please tell us something!"
Yun Jin was so annoyed by these messages that he could only mute the company group.
Mu Lingfeng, you are just looking for something to do. Wait until I am done with my work and see how I will deal with you.
While picking vegetables, Yun Jin was thinking silently in her heart.
Just as she was thinking, the cell phone rang. Yun Jin thought it was Mu Lingfeng calling, so she quickly wiped her hands, took out the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
After answering the call, Yun Jin heard the voice he least wanted to hear.
