Chapter 142 Why Can’t It Be Made Public

As soon as Hua Xiali entered the house, she fell into an embrace. Huo Beixi picked her up and let her sit in his arms. Hua Xiali patted his arm in fear, "You lifted me up so high, what if someone sees us from outside the courtyard wall?"

"If you see it, just make it public. Our relationship is not something that can be hidden from the public. We are an open and aboveboard couple. If someone really sees us..."

"What do you want to do if someone sees us?" Hua Xiali lowered her head, her eyes full of threats. She didn't want to hear him say anything about giving up his job.

"Then I will work hard and strive to move up further," said Huo Beixi.

"That's about right." Although Huo Beixi's income was not as much as hers from business, it was more stable. Most importantly, they were close to each other and could see each other often. If he were engaged in other industries, it might be difficult for them to see each other.

Arriving at the kitchen, Huo Beixi put Hua Xiali on the bench and brought out the New Year's Eve dinner that was still warm in the pot. Although it was just the two of them having the New Year's Eve dinner, he did not act perfunctorily but cooked several dishes seriously.

Hua Xiali had only eaten half her meal at home, so now she could have a few bites with Huo Beixi.

Huo Beixi opened the soda, poured two cups, picked up the cup in his hand first, and said, "Happy New Year."

Hua Xiali clinked his cup and smiled, "Happy New Year."

"Thank you for coming to have New Year's Eve dinner with me. I finally don't have to eat it alone anymore." Thinking of the past, Huo Beixi's eyes became moist.

"Every year since then, we have had New Year's Eve dinner together." Hua Xiali didn't know much about Huo Beixi's experiences from childhood to adulthood. The past was the past, and there would be her in the future!

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them went to the living room to sit down and rest. Huo Beixi suddenly said mysteriously, "Xia Li, close your eyes."

Hua Xiali was very surprised, but still closed her eyes. She wondered if Huo Beixi had secretly bought her a gift again. He seemed to like buying things for her.

Hua Xiali closed her eyes with a smile on her lips, waiting for the surprise that Huo Beixi would bring her.

After a while, she really felt a slight coolness on her neck, but Huo Beixi didn't let her close her eyes, so she kept her eyes closed. However, she had already guessed what it was, but she didn't know what material it was made of. Huo Beixi would not buy a toy to fool her.

"Open your eyes!"

Hearing Huo Beixi's voice, Hua Xiali slowly opened her eyes, and saw a round plastic mirror in front of her. Her face appeared in the round mirror. She slowly looked down, and saw a hint of golden color on her fair neck in the mirror. Then she reached out and touched the golden thing.

How should I describe the size of this necklace? Hua Xiali thought about it and felt that the thickness of this necklace was about the same as the ink tube of the ballpoint pen refill in his previous life.

The degree is just right, not too thick, without the nouveau riche temperament, not too thin, but not too stingy either. There is also a solid gold bean hanging underneath, which feels heavy, but it does not feel tiring when hung around the neck.

"Why are you buying me something again?" Hua Xiali reached out and touched the gold necklace. He felt very happy. It was natural to be happy when someone was thinking about him.

"Isn't it Chinese New Year? I just wanted to give you a New Year's gift." Huo Beixi put down the mirror. "It looks good when you wear it, so don't take it off. Besides, it's cold and you wear more clothes, so if you wear it inside, others won't see it."

"Okay, I'll wear it." Hua Xiali said with a smile. Now that he was rich, he naturally couldn't be as shabby as before. But he couldn't show off so much when he went out, so as not to attract people's attention.

After all, she had seen news in her previous life that many people’s gold ornaments were snatched away by thieves on the street, so she just wore some toy ornaments when she went out. She wholesaled a lot of beautiful toy ornaments, so it was okay to wear a different one every day.

Huo Beixi carried Hua Xiali over and placed her on his lap. He just looked at her without saying anything. Hua Xiali asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I also want to be like Leng Yuye, interacting with your family openly and participating in your family affairs openly." Huo Beixi looked at Hua Xiali with a hint of grievance in his eyes.

Hua Xiali was about to say something to comfort her, but Huo Beixi continued, "What else have you not finished? Why can't our relationship be made public? Do you have any plans that you can tell me about?"

"Don't we have five villages under Qinglong Village? I now have a large warehouse in Huazhuang and grow vegetables. I also plan to invest in other villages to start businesses. I want to grow fruits, open a farm, and raise freshwater clams. All of these require a lot of money. I'm afraid the money I have is not enough, so I want to earn more money and then start a business."

Huo Beixi asked in confusion, "You obviously have ways to make money, why do you want to start a business that has a slow return? Take growing fruits for example, it will take at least a few years to make money, and as for getting your money back, I don't know how many years it will take."

"You're right, so I haven't thought it through completely. I'm still hesitating now!" Hua Xiali was thinking about whether she should start a business in the countryside or in the city. One advantage of starting a business in the countryside is that it will be demolished in the future, but if she starts a business in the city, whether it's a shop or land, the value will appreciate. In other words, no matter which direction she chooses, it will be feasible.

She hasn't made up her mind yet, so naturally she can't make it public. If she decides to go into the city, then it will be fine if she makes it public.

Hua Xiali felt that she seemed a little greedy. In fact, she already had a lot. She could just go to the city and buy a few more houses and wait for them to appreciate in value. This way, she wouldn't have to rush around every day.

"Soon, very soon we can make our relationship public." Hua Xiali said seriously. Although her words sounded a bit like coaxing, she had no intention of deceiving his feelings.

Even when she knew that he might die, she never backed down. Even if she couldn't save him, she had already accepted him. This relationship was enough to support her throughout her life. Maybe they would meet again in the next life!

She had to keep watch tonight, and every household kept the lights on. They played cards and had fun all night long, so no one would pay attention to the time she returned home. Hua Xiali did not return home so early, but sat on the sofa with Huo Beixi, with a blanket covering their legs, and chatted.

It was still a bit cold in the middle of the night, and they didn't have any heating measures here, not like the kangs in the north, let alone heating, and not like braziers or fire buckets like in some southern cities. Anyway, they had nothing here, but everyone just got through the winter like that.
