Chapter 784 You enjoy it too
The table was a little quiet. Sun Weimeng's food got stuck in his throat and he almost choked to death.
Only then did he realize that he might have said something wrong.
Huo Xingzhou was really not prepared!
Qiao Xi tried to smooth things over: "No need to prepare a special gift. Xingzhou spending the New Year with me is the greatest gift."
It's really biased.
Huo Xingzhou opened his thin lips and said, "I've prepared it, but it's not appropriate now."
Qiao Xi was a little curious about when he prepared the gift.
Zhong Yi said lazily, "Will we have a chance to see what surprise Mr. Huo has prepared?"
"No chance."
Huo Xingzhou met his eyes and said, "The fun between husband and wife is not suitable to be shared with outsiders."
One sentence directly blocked Zhong Yi's words.
I like to make myself unhappy.
Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen followed suit with jokes, covering up the slight unpleasantness. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the sky over the entire imperial capital was quiet, except for the colorful fireworks above the Huo family's garden villa.
Dazzling.
Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the city, but Huo Xingzhou applied for it in advance and put a lot of thought into it.
Qiao Xi looked at the night sky and unconsciously thought of the day of her birthday party.
It was the first time someone held such a grand birthday party for her.
Now, it is the same person who is spending the most meaningful New Year of her life with her.
Cheng Han stood at the door of the villa, feeling the biting cold wind and said, "Tonight may be the most peaceful night. The imperial capital may be in turmoil from now on."
Zhong Yi looked at Qiao Xi, who was standing not far away with Huo Xingzhou, and said, "Are you really determined to come forward and expose everything? That would hurt you and your daughter."
"Keeping silent will only hurt more people. Qiao is trying hard to do more for the Chinese medicine community, and I can't let her down. Besides, Qingnian's condition has improved, and Lu Bannong would never have thought I was still alive."
Cheng Han's figure looked much more hunched, he was really old.
"Um."
"Zhongyi, you are not young anymore. Get married soon and find someone who can spend your life with you." The feeling of being alone like this is more desolate as you get older.
Cheng Han could understand this the best.
"Are you also going to urge marriage?"
"I can see that you have bad intentions. The Huo family boy is not bad, just worthy of being my apprentice."
"What about me? Can I do without him?"
Cheng Han looked at him for a moment, shook his head and said, "No. You seem to be thinking about her and going along with her in everything, but when it comes to the critical moment, you make your own decisions. Your self-righteous sacrifice is actually unfair to her. The Huo family boy won't do that. If there is anything, they share the burden. That's how a couple should be."
Regardless of good or bad, the choice will be given to the other party.
Cheng Han’s words spoke volumes.
Zhong Yi retorted, "Is putting her in danger the best option? Wouldn't that be dragging her down with it? Are you saying I was wrong to fake my own death and leave?"
"There's no right or wrong in this matter, but maybe she's happy to be dragged down by you? You'll sacrifice yourself for her safety this time, but will you abandon her again next time? She's always living in unease. This love is too heavy for an ordinary person to bear."
You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?
Zhong Yi was speechless.
Maybe he took it to heart, but he wanted to refute it but couldn't say anything reasonable.
That jade-like handsome face looked a little ugly.
He caught a glimpse of Qiao Xi out of the corner of his eye and saw that she was really smiling happily.
But I'm not willing to accept it.
Qiao Xi's face turned red from the cold wind outside. She took Huo Xingzhou's hand and asked, "Is this the gift you prepared for me?"
"no."
"Not yet? Actually, I wouldn't blame you if you weren't prepared. I know you don't want to lose face in front of Ayi."
"I'll show it to you when we get back to the room."
"OK."
Qiao Xi smiled and spoke, then took out her vibrating phone and replied to a few messages.
She sent Happy New Year messages to everyone in the Liu family, including Liu Huimin.
I also made a special call to Shu Xue who was far away in Africa. She might not answer the call at other times, but on such a special day she must be celebrating the New Year in China.
really.
The phone vibrated for a moment before I picked it up.
Shu Xue's voice was a little hoarse: "Hey, Qiao Xi. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year! Your voice sounds a little off, do you have a cold?"
“Ah… no!”
Shu Xue's voice was shattered by the impact, and a very different voice was faintly heard from the other end of the phone.
"Qiao Xi, you... do you have something to talk to me about?" Shu Xue asked breathlessly, stretching out her beautiful legs and kicking.
"I just wanted to say Happy New Year to you. Your time in Africa is almost up, right? When you come back, we should also be back in Haicheng. Then we can see each other more often. I miss you very much."
"Me too... Yeah."
Qiao Xi's ears felt a little hot, and her voice became softer: "Is there someone else over there?"
She heard it!
Those voices were not unfamiliar.
"Well, a sea lion is coming...to find me! Hiss, Zhou Yu, don't bite me!"
"Then I won't bother you anymore."
Qiao Xi hung up the phone quickly.
The sea dogs, which are as big as fighter jets, are not easy to deal with.
On the other end of the phone.
The medical team temporarily stayed in the rest room.
Shu Xue kicked Zhou Yu hard: "I'm chatting with my sister, you have to make trouble, right?"
Zhou Yu's forehead was covered in sweat. He leaned forward and said, "Don't let her know that I'm here. What if she suspects you of cheating on her?"
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
Zhou Yu said with a playful smile: "I am a sea dog, a sea dog who came here to spend New Year's Eve with you."
"loquacious!"
"You're enjoying it too."
"Zhou Yu, you're going to die!"
"I haven't eaten meat for a month, and I really missed you terribly! I'm going to give you an unforgettable New Year's Eve tonight, go ahead!"
Shu Xue is really going to die!
Watching the clock on the wall slowly turning, I felt for the first time that time was passing so slowly.
My limbs are sore and I definitely won’t be able to get up tomorrow.
…
On such a special day, there is warmth everywhere.
The Liu family in Haicheng even specially reserved seats for Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou. Liu Huimin hoped to celebrate the New Year with her daughter next year, and it would be enough for them to just sit at the same table and eat.
The old man of the Huo family was a lonely man and thought he would have to spend the New Year alone. However, he did not expect that the youngest son whom he had always taken advantage of would come to his house to have New Year's Eve dinner with him. Although his daughter-in-law was not in a good mood, she did not get angry.
The Lu family in the imperial capital held a grand banquet and invited relatives from both the main and collateral branches to celebrate the Lu family's entry into the four major families. Lu Yingxue became the glory of the family.
She was praised to the skies, and everyone believed that after she won the position of president of the Chinese Medicine Association, she would achieve more in the new year and lay a solid foundation for herself to become the youngest traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
But in a large flat in the capital, it was very deserted.
