"Little Qianqian, that's Ruoxi's and my little sister. Don't think too much of it."
The woman who was walking alone in the market was Mo Qianni. Hearing Yang Chen's explanation, she couldn't care less about Yang Chen pinching her face in dissatisfaction. A trace of doubt flashed across her beautiful eyes, "Sister?"
"Yeah, her name is Hui Lin, she's Ruoxi's sister. She came out with me to buy fireworks. On the way, I bought some toys for her that I like." Yang Chen introduced.
Only then did Mo Qianni notice that Hui Lin seemed to be too shy to look at her. She also sneaked a peek at Yang Chen. It was obvious that she was embarrassed to see Yang Chen intimate with her.
Mo Qianni was sure she was wrong. She rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and smiled sweetly, "Why are you explaining things to me? I'm not the real deal anyway. I'm just joking. I can't be a real joke."
"If you keep talking like that, I'll spank you." Yang Chen pretended to be angry as he waved his hand, trying to point at Mo Qianni's butt.
Mo Qianni shyly tore Yang Chen's hand off, "You're annoying. Do you want to embarrass me to death on the streets?"
"Who told you not to believe my passion." Yang Chen twitched his mouth.
Mo Qianni rolled her eyes. She was already used to Yang Chen's thick skin, "Your '1' should be a part of the score.' A few percent '." Mo Qianni teased.
Yang Chen touched his chest, "Little Qianqian, your words are too hurtful. My heart is broken. I want a knife. I'll show you my heart. It's as broken as dumplings."
Mo Qianni frowned and slapped Yang Chen's chest with one hand, "You're so annoying. It's the new year, I came here to buy dumplings today to make dumplings. Why do you have to make such a disgusting comparison with dumplings?"
Yang Chen chuckled, "So you are here to buy dumplings. You know how to make dumplings? Would you give me something to eat? I want to eat your dumplings. "
"Hmph, didn't you help your family get New Year's food? How could you have the time to come and eat my dumplings?" Mo Qianni pouted.
"Don't we still have two days for the new year? I'll go to your place tonight and eat some dumplings first. It seems like we don't have any dumplings." Yang Chen said with a fawning smile.
Mo Qianni asked haltingly, "Are you really coming to eat?"
"Of course." Yang Chen nodded.
"Alright then, I'll make it difficult for you to eat a few," Mo Qianni said, trying her best to hold back her laughter.
With the matter finally settled, the two knew very well that this was just an excuse to have dinner together, but they did not point it out.
When Hui Lin saw the intimate interaction between Yang Chen and Mo Qianni and saw Mo Qianni's flushed face full of joy, her heart sank a little.
It seemed that Brother Yang still had a lot of close female friends, but he really only considered himself as a younger sister.
From the fact that Yang Chen didn't mind being intimate with other women in front of her, it could be seen that Yang Chen didn't consider whether he would be jealous or not.
However, Hui Lin would not reveal this matter after returning home. To her, it was more important than anything that the family could get along harmoniously with each other.
On the way home, Yang Chen didn't notice Hui Lin's complicated expression. What he was thinking about was another woman.
The sight of Mo Qianni buying New Year's goods alone at the market made his heart ache slightly. A single woman was celebrating the New Year in another village. On the New Year's Eve when all the families reunited, she was eating a table of dishes by herself. Even if she ate hot dumplings, her heart would still feel cold.
The fireworks were brilliant and fiery to a normal person, but to Mo Qianni, they were nothing more than cold plums blooming in solitude.
However, Yang Chen couldn't directly express his pity for Mo Qianni, so he chose to eat her dumplings to accompany her for the New Year.
Mo Qianni was proud, she would never agree to come to Lin Ruoxi's home as a friend for the new year. Therefore, after knowing Yang Chen's true intentions, she did not reject him and accepted Yang Chen's feelings contentedly.
If Mo Qianni was like this, then what about Qiangwei who also had no family?
When Yang Chen thought of that silly woman who only needed ten seconds occasionally, he felt more and more that he was not a good person. He thought that after accompanying Mo Qianni, he should go have a New Year's Eve meal with Qiangwei.
As for Liu Mingyu, she had her own family, and although she would feel a bit regretful, she wouldn't feel lonely.
As for Anxin, who was a crazy, demon-like person, she probably wouldn't have any depressed emotions. Plus, she had Ann Zaihuan, the man who was her father even though he wasn't much. Now that the An family's position in Zhong Hai had risen greatly and replaced Liu Family, friends and family would naturally be attracted to each other and would have to come to celebrate the new year. Anxin would definitely be annoyed to death.
Thinking about that, Yang Chen's innocent face flashed across his mind … Zhen Xiu, that girl, didn't know how to spend the New Year either.
There were only two days left, there seemed to be a lot of things he needed to do, Yang Chen thought with a sense of distress and warmth.
When they got home, Yang Chen put the fireworks in the underground parking lot and kept them for use on New Year's Eve. He went to the lobby, but couldn't find Lin Ruoxi. He went upstairs to the study room and knocked on the door.
Yang Chen had excellent hearing. After knocking on the door, he could hear the sound of random things being hastily placed in the study room. He frowned as he heard the sound of drawers being pulled. "What is Lin Ruoxi trying to hide?"
When the door opened, Lin Ruoxi's expression was a little unnatural, but she still asked coldly, "What is it?"
Yang Chen pretended not to know anything, "Oh, I was wondering, it's the new year, how is it going with Zhen Xiu alone, do you want to come with me to see her?"
Lin Ruoxi's face warmed up, and a trace of gentleness appeared in her eyes. She looked at Yang Chen and suddenly felt a lot better, "Mm, we should go and have a look. I told Aunt Guo that we should go to the orphanage tomorrow. How about we go and see Zhen Xiu tonight?"
"This …" Yang Chen touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I promised someone that I will go out to eat tonight."
When Lin Ruoxi saw Yang Chen's strange smile, she immediately thought of a date with a certain woman. Her gentle gaze instantly disappeared, "Then tomorrow, you won't have a date every day right?"
"Of course not." Yang Chen said seriously.
"I'll close the door if there's nothing else." Lin Ruoxi didn't wait for Yang Chen to reply and just slammed the door shut.
Yang Chen stood at the door with a helpless look on his face.
After closing the door, Lin Ruoxi stomped her feet angrily and walked to her desk. She opened a large drawer and found some wool and knitting needles inside. A palm-sized, loose woolen cloth was being weaved.
Lin Ruoxi picked up the "results" that she had created after two hours of tinkering. She looked at them absentmindedly for a while before sighing faintly.
Yang Chen, who returned to his room, didn't know that he had greatly damaged Lin Ruoxi's confidence in learning knitting. At this moment, he was dialing Anxin's number.
If any of the women around him were the most sticky, it would have to be Anxin, but if any of them were the most dashing, it would also be Anxin!
Ever since they returned from the Hokkaido, Anxin never contacted Yang Chen again. That woman loved you when she was in love with you. When she ignored you, she simply ignored you. Yang Chen used to like this kind of personality. After all, the past him was just there for a moment of pleasure. But now, she seemed a bit different.
The phone was quickly connected. Anxin's sweet voice came out of the phone, "Darling, you finally remembered me."
"Hey, little demoness, you didn't call me either, right?" Yang Chen said dejectedly.
Anxin chuckled, "Who asked you to always play the role of a knight who is acting handsome. I feel that knights should be cold and proud. What if I'm too attached to others?"
"Are you trying to take revenge for me leaving you alone for half a year?" Yang Chen smiled bitterly.
"A little," said Anxin, half naughty and half serious.
Yang Chen was about to explain more when he heard some other noises coming from Anxin's side.
Anxin quickly said, "Hubby, I have a lot of relatives that I don't know. I need to go entertain them. Happy New Year. I have a surprise for you in the new year. Bye bye!"
Anxin quickly hung up the phone, leaving Yang Chen staring at his phone in a daze. What was that "surprise"? It was real that he would spank her butt the next time they met.
After calming himself down, Yang Chen dialed Liu Mingyu's number.
After a long while, Liu Mingyu finally picked up the phone. However, she sounded a little anxious as she asked directly, "What's the matter? I'm cooking. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Yang Chen's tone was stifled. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a woman's voice from the other side, "Mingyu, the dishes are going to rot. Why are you calling?"
"Ah, I know, Mom."
"Du …"
Yang Chen was stunned. He didn't say a single word and was hung up just like that.
Yang Chen, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, didn't try to call again. He could just go over to Qiangwei's place directly. What if Qiangwei was holding some year-end celebration with her men and he got hung up?
After changing into clean clothes, Yang Chen saw that it was about time. He went downstairs to talk to Guo Xuehua and Nanny Wang about going out to eat.
When they came downstairs, Lin Ruoxi and Hui Lin were watching Korean family drama together. Yang Chen saw Nanny Wang was pickling something. He went up and said, "Nanny Wang, I will go out for dinner. No need to prepare my share."
Without waiting for Nanny Wang's reply, Guo Xuehua, who came down from upstairs, asked curiously, "It's the new year, why are you still out for dinner? Are you a colleague?"
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, "Yes and no, in short, she is the most important person. We will have an early New Year's Eve meal together."
Without waiting for Guo Xuehua to ask, Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on the sofa, said expressionlessly, "Auntie Guo, don't ask him. If he thinks it's important, just let him go."
Guo Xuehua looked doubtfully at Lin Ruoxi's ice-cold tone, then looked at Yang Chen, who walked out of the room with an awkward expression, and revealed a pondering expression.
