Chapter 784 You are enjoying it too

There was silence at the table. 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 is really not prepared!

Qiao Xi tried to smooth things over: "No need to prepare a special gift. The biggest gift is that Xingzhou spends the New Year with me."

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 looked into his eyes and said, "The fun between husband and wife is not suitable to be shared with outsiders."

This one sentence directly blocked Zhong Yi's words.

I like to make myself unhappy.

Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen followed suit and made jokes to cover up the unpleasantness. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the sky over the entire imperial capital was very quiet, except for the colorful fireworks over the Huo family garden villa.

Dazzling and eye-catching.

It is prohibited to set off fireworks and firecrackers in the urban area, 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 capital may be in turmoil in the future."

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 will hurt you and your daughter."

"If I keep silent, I will hurt more people. Qiao is trying hard to do more for the Chinese medicine community, and I can't hold her back. Besides, Qingnian's condition has improved, and Lu Bangnong will never think that I am still alive."

Cheng Han's figure looked much more hunched, he was really old.

"Um."

"Zhong Yi, you are not young anymore. Get married soon and find someone who can spend the rest of your life with you." The feeling of being alone like this is something that one can feel more and more desolate as one gets older.

Cheng Han is the one who can understand this best.

"Do you want to urge marriage too?"

"I can see that you have evil intentions. The Huo family boy is not bad, and he is worthy of being my apprentice."

"What about me? Can I do without him?"

Cheng Han looked at him for a while, shook his head and said, "No. You seem to be thinking about her and going along with her, but when it comes to the critical moment, you make your own decisions. It's actually unfair to her to make such a self-righteous sacrifice. The Huo family boy won't do that. They shoulder everything together. That's what a husband and wife should do."

Regardless of good or bad, the choice will be given to the other party.

Cheng Han’s words speak volumes.

Zhong Yi retorted: "Is putting her in danger the best option? Wouldn't that drag her down with it? Are you saying that I was wrong to fake my death and leave?"

"There is no right or wrong in this matter, but maybe she is willing to be dragged down by you? You will sacrifice for her safety this time, will you give up again next time? She will always live in uneasiness, this love is too heavy for ordinary people to bear."

You are not a fish, so how do you know the joy of a fish?

Zhong Yi was speechless.

Maybe I took it to heart, but I still wanted to refute it but couldn't say anything that made sense.

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 was reddened by 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 Yi."

"I'll show it to you when we get back to the room."

"OK."

Qiao Xi smiled and spoke, then took out her vibrating cell 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 while and then 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 strange, 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 want to say Happy New Year to you. Your time in Africa is about to end, right? When you come back, we should also return to Haicheng. Then we can see each other often again. I miss you very much."

"Me too... Yeah."

Qiao Xi's ears felt a little hot, and her voice became a little softer: "Is there someone else over there?"

She heard it!

Those sounds were familiar.

"Well, a sea lion is coming... to find me! Hiss, Zhou Yu, don't bite me!"

"Then I won't bother you any more."

Qiao Xi hung up the phone quickly.

Fighter-like sea dogs are not easy to mess with.

On the other end of the phone.

The medical team is temporarily stationed 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 with sweat. He leaned over 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 to spend New Year's Eve with you."

"You're a jerk!"

“You seem to be enjoying it too.”

"Zhou Yu, you are going to die!"

"I haven't eaten for a month, I really miss you so much! I'll give you a memorable New Year's Eve tonight, continue!"

Shu Xue is really going to die!

Watching the clock on the wall slowly ticking, it was the first time I felt that time was passing so slowly.

My limbs are sore and I definitely won’t be able to get up tomorrow.

…

And 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 celebrate the New Year alone. However, he did not expect that his 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 youngest daughter-in-law did not look very well, she did not lose her temper.

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 Chinese medicine practitioner.

But in a large flat in the imperial capital, it was very deserted.
