By the end of December, the hard and soft furnishings of the new house that Jiang Xiaoli and her family bought were all finished.
On Christmas Eve, Dafu and Zhongyuan each brought their girlfriends to visit their new house.
When Hu Jingxin heard that the group of them had bought houses together, envy was instantly written all over her face.
They started by exploring Zhong Yuan's apartment on the 24th floor and continued all the way to Jiang Xiaoli's apartment on the 28th floor.
Chang Yue and Hu Jingxin both really liked the attic of her house.
A window was opened in the sloping roof of the attic, so you could see the stars from where you lay at night.
Hu Jingxin instantly felt envious, "Xiao Li, you really know how to enjoy life!"
She chuckled, "It's alright, you're welcome to come to my house anytime you want!"
After viewing the house, the group wasn't in a hurry to go home. Hu Jingxin suggested, "It's Christmas Eve, let's go out for Western food!"
The Western restaurant had a strong Christmas atmosphere today, and they even had Santa Claus specially arranged for them.
Every customer who comes to the store receives a sock to hold their wish letter.
After they ordered their food, Jiang Xiaoli held a pen and pondered what wish she should make.
She was still struggling with her decision after the others had finished writing their wishes.
Zhong Yuan laughed and said, "Little Pear, are you without desires or do you have too many wishes?"
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly wrote down a line of text.
Chang Yue, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Xiao Li, so you've been agonizing over this for so long because you have too many wishes and don't know which one to choose?"
Chang Yue was standing between Hu Jingxin and Jiang Xiaoli. Hu Jingxin took Chang Yue's hand and asked, "What did Xiaoli write?"
Before Chang Yue could answer, Jiang Xiaoli replied with a smile, "My wish is for every single one of my wishes to come true!"
"Hahaha!" The others burst out laughing.
Only Zong Jia, sitting opposite her, held her hand and said, "Little Pear, I will help you fulfill your wish."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhong Yuan, driven by a strong will to survive, immediately said to Hu Jingxin, "Xinxin, I will also help you fulfill your wish!"
Dafu followed suit and expressed his opinion to Changyue.
Normally, when the two couples go on dates, they are very reserved in their conversations and don't express their thoughts so directly.
A blush instantly spread across Hu Jingxin's and Chang Yue's faces.
After the meal, Zong Jia went to pay the bill, while Da Fu and Zhong Yuan went to get the car.
Chang Yue tugged at Jiang Xiaoli's sleeve, "Is Zong Jiayu always this enthusiastic?"
She shook her head. "No, it's nothing. He's usually much more enthusiastic."
Hu Jingxin's mouth dropped open in surprise, "Xiao Li! Is this something we can know?!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "It's normal to be in a relationship. The meaning of a partner is to bravely express your feelings and share your happiness and unhappiness with your partner."
They both nodded thoughtfully.
After dinner, the three couples parted ways. Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia went to the styling studio, as they had been invited to the "Kyoto Chamber of Commerce" year-end banquet that evening.
That evening, the two made a stunning appearance in matching royal blue gowns.
Many young men and women who had come with their elders couldn't help but become very interested in the two.
They had just finished chatting with Vice President Qin when a young man wearing a vest and with slicked-back hair came over to greet them.
He put on an expression that Jiang Xiaoli found greasy and said, "Miss, I am Kong Xiang'an, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Xiaoli forced a smile and said, "Yes, hello."
Kong Xiang'an picked up two glasses of champagne from a nearby table and handed one to Jiang Xiaoli. "May I ask what your name is, Miss? Shall we get to know each other?"
Jiang Xiaoli didn't say anything, and Zong Jia took the glass of wine for her, saying, "My girlfriend can't drink, sorry."
Kong Xiang'an didn't want to talk to Zong Jiayu from beginning to end, but his presence was too strong, and now he accepted his drink.
He said irritably, "Who do you think you are, drinking the wine I served you?"
Zong Jia frowned. "Mr. Kong, do you usually consider yourself an onion?"
Kong Xiang'an slammed his wine glass down on the table. "Pretty boy, say that again!"
Zong Jiayu granted his request, "Does Mr. Kong usually consider himself an onion?"
"You!" Kong Xiang'an was furious.
Just then, a woman's voice came from beside them, "Oh dear, Kong Er, are you getting angry again because you couldn't pick up any girls?"
Kong Xiang'an pointed at the young girl and said, "Tao Tao, mind your own business!"
Tao Tao covered her mouth and chuckled, "How is it that I'm meddling? I just wanted to see you make a fool of yourself!"
After saying that, she turned around and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Tao Tao."
Although it was a self-introduction, her eyes remained fixed on Zong Jia's face and never left.
Jiang Xiaoli was speechless; these two were truly something else.
She ignored them both and, linking arms with Zong Jiayu, said, "Shall we go over there?"
The direction she pointed to was where a group of middlemen were located; they were mostly bosses of various companies.
She was just being lazy because she didn't want to be dragged into discussing business if she went over there, so she was slacking off here. She didn't expect to run into two such awful people so soon.
Zong Jia nodded, and just as the two were about to leave, Tao Tao reached out and stopped them.
She still looked at Zong Jiayu and said, "I've never seen you before. Are you looking to make some connections? Tell me your name and I'll take you there. My dad is the chairman of Renfeng Group!"
Zong Jiayu remained unmoved, took two steps back, and left with Jiang Xiaoli.
Kong Xiang'an, who remained where he was, burst into laughter. "Hey Tao'er, how dare you laugh at me? You didn't even find out their name, did you?"
Tao Tao gritted her teeth, "I will know!"
After saying that, she walked in the direction Zong Jiayu had left, wearing high heels.
Kong Xiang'an did not go with her. Tao Tao was the only daughter of Chairman Renfeng, but he was just one of his many sons. If he went with her, he would only be criticized by his father.
When Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia came over, many bosses came over to chat with them, and the two were forced to separate.
After she finished talking with the bosses, she turned around and saw Tao Tao, who had been with a middle-aged man, talking to Zong Jiayu.
She sneered and didn't go over. Instead, she found a place to sit down and rest.
Not long after, someone sat down next to her.
Zhao Zhenan spoke up, "President Jiang, are you just going to watch other people pester your boyfriend?"
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Let her pester me. If she manages to pester me, then that's her skill."
Zhao Zhenan chuckled, "President Jiang is quite magnanimous, that's good."
She looked around. "Did Mr. Zhao come alone?"
Zhao Zhenan knew what she was looking for from her movements. "I came alone. Having a female companion is too much trouble!"
After saying that, he quickly added, "Of course, people like President Jiang are an exception."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "I thought President Zhao got married."
“No,” Zhao Zhenan explained. “I had a fiancée before, but she passed away before we got married.”
She nodded. "With Mr. Zhao being so outstanding, there must be someone more suitable waiting for him. There's no need to rush."
