C403 This Year
Since no one was drinking much, dinner was about to begin.
"Brother Yang, let's set off fireworks!" Hui Lin suddenly blinked in anticipation as she ate her New Year's Eve meal.
Yang Chen was gnawing on a chicken leg. He waved his hand and mumbled, "What time is it? Let's eat first. There's going to be a party later. We'll set off fireworks after that party."
"Shouldn't we be watching TV after the party?" When Zhen Xiu got familiar with the others, she would talk to them at the dining table.
Yang Chen chuckled, "We'll watch the fireworks when something terrible comes out."
Guo Xuehua and Nanny Wang looked at each other, looked at Yang Chen who looked like a child king and laughed.
Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, ate quietly as usual. Even on a New Year's Eve when she was in a happy mood, she didn't show much excitement on her face. Instead, she would occasionally help Zhen Xiu with some food.
Zhen Xiu felt a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, it was understandable for Lin Ruoxi to give food to her husband and mother-in-law. To give food to an outsider made her feel weird, but she treasured the feeling of being doted on by everyone in this family.
Before the meal was finished, the Spring Festival Gala began on television. After the opening dance, the hosts appeared one by one.
Hui Lin hadn't had the chance to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the past, but she had watched it seriously. With her sharp eyes, she suddenly realized that on the Spring Festival Gala's side stage, at the spot where the two hosts were seated, there was a familiar trademark. It was Yu Lei's design!
"Elder sister, why is it your company's trademark? Could it be that this year's Spring Festival Gala is sponsored by Yu Lei? " Hui Lin asked excitedly.
Lin Ruoxi nodded. "There was some sponsorship in the previous two years, but we spent more money this year." This year is an important one, and new materials are going to be put on the market. and we need to raise our profile several times across the country. "
Everyone found it interesting to see Lin Ruoxi talking about her work with a face full of pride and struggle.
"My daughter-in-law is also a strong woman, how amazing." Guo Xuehua said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right. I feel that my sister is really good to be able to manage such a large company. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt," Hui Lin said sincerely.
Lin Ruoxi wasn't polite in this regard. All these years she had worked diligently just to prove her worth and not disgrace her dead grandma.
"This year, I will purchase around 10 factories and purchase over 2000 mu of industrial land. At that time, Yu Lei will have no competition in the country," Lin Ruoxi said confidently.
"Miss, it's the new year, let's not talk about such scary words. 2000 mu, over 10 factories, how scary is this!" Nanny Wang patted her chest and said with a smile.
"I think every acre is pretty big," Zhen Xiu grumbled.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized that she was at home and not talking to the higher ups of the company. She blushed whenever she talked about work.
Yang Chen snickered on the side. It was indeed hard for a housewife like Nanny Wang to imagine how unattainable Lin Ruoxi's daily activities were. Perhaps it was because of this that Lin Ruoxi seemed so different from other women her age.
Quietly, Yang Chen whispered into Lin Ruoxi's ear, "Don't let people come here to seek revenge again. They will say that you've ruined their family and caused them to perish."
Lin Ruoxi knew that Yang Chen was talking about the last Yuping Clothe Design incident and frowned, "I still have to do what I have to do. I need to expand. I can't worry about people taking revenge on me, so I just don't do anything. "
"That's true. I just want to say that in the future when I go to the factory to look around, I'll take your husband with me." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, but in her heart, she felt more at ease. Perhaps this was the feeling of having someone to rely on.
After a while, Nanny Wang brought out several plates of dumplings from the kitchen. Although they were a little incomplete, they looked a little fresh.
"Come here, I've eaten dumplings. I say, young miss, young master, don't buy so many dumplings in the future. Even if you can't finish, you can still bring them back!" Nanny Wang complained slightly.
Lin Ruoxi pouted and said, "Nanny Wang, I already said that we didn't buy it. It was Yang Chen participating in a competition and it was given to us by the shop owner."
"What competition? And even sending dumplings? " Guo Xuehua asked curiously.
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly and told them about the Big Gastric King Competition at the entrance of the dumpling restaurant. When Guo Xuehua and the other girls heard that Yang Chen had eaten 88 dumplings, their chins almost fell off.
"You're not allowed to eat like this in the future. What if your stomach breaks?" Guo Xuehua felt pained and resentful.
Yang Chen didn't say anything more about winning a doll for Lin Ruoxi. He casually said, "I won't do it next time."
Lin Ruoxi naturally found it embarrassing to say that she liked the fact that Yang Chen found the doll. Seeing that Yang Chen didn't want Guo Xuehua to blame her, she felt warm inside.
After the meal, Yang Chen put out all the fireworks according to Hui Lin's wish. It could be considered the end of the program on New Year's Eve. The women were also tired. After all, they had been busy the entire day and had cooked a huge meal. Even if they were happy, they would still feel tired.
After they went upstairs one by one to rest and watched Yang Chen on the Spring Festival Gala, they turned off the TV and went back to their room on the second floor.
The moment he entered the room, Yang Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi had just finished her shower and came out of the bathroom wearing a thin white bathrobe. She was stunned when she saw that someone was sending her a text message so late at night.
When Lin Ruoxi saw that it was from Yang Chen, she was even more stunned for a moment. After all, Yang Chen had never texted her before, not to mention at home, it was also when she was about to sleep.
"Come to the roof."
Yang Chen only sent two words.
Lin Ruoxi frowned. One minute ago, Yang Chen told her to go to the roof of the mansion.
On the east side of the villa was an empty rooftop. Usually, there were only a few flowers and plants, so it was not very common.
To go or not to go? Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and walked into the changing room in the bedroom. She changed into a simple warm undergarment and put on a light brown mink coat so she wouldn't be afraid of the cold wind outside.
Although she didn't know what the guy was up to at this late hour, she didn't dare to force anything on him.
Lin Ruoxi thought nervously, but she still couldn't help but walk out of the room. Her footsteps were soft and gentle as she walked to the rooftop, not disturbing anyone else.
As soon as they arrived at the rooftop, the cold wind of the night blew painfully on their faces. Lin Ruoxi tightened her coat, her jet-black hair flying messily in the wind. Her elegant, fairy-like face was particularly lovable. She was like an epiphyllum blooming in the still night, her beauty fleeting.
Lin Ruoxi opened her eyes in confusion and took a closer look. Sure enough, a familiar figure was already standing at the railing, looking into the distance while waiting for her.
"What is it?"
Lin Ruoxi walked up and asked in a clear voice, feeling a little nervous. After all, this was the first time they were having a reunion on the roof so late at night.
Yang Chen didn't even turn around as he leisurely said: "Look, that's the Zhonghai City area. Tonight's lights are much brighter than before."
Lin Ruoxi walked over to the railing and rubbed her hands together to dispel the cold. "Really? I didn't notice."
"That's because you sleep after work every day, and you don't have the time or the mind to look at these boring people." Yang Chen laughed.
"Then why are you still looking?" Lin Ruoxi frowned.
"What I'm looking at is boring, but for someone who is looking at it together, it doesn't matter what I'm looking at." Yang Chen turned around and smiled mysteriously at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi panicked a little at being stared at. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Wife, let me hug you, okay?"
Suddenly, Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi's face was pink as she stared at him, "Boring. If that's what you want to say, then I'm going back to bed."
"If you don't let me hug you, I'll jump off the third floor." Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi pouted. "Just go ahead and dance, you only know how to be this shameless."
"I'm really going to jump." Yang Chen had a serious expression.
Lin Ruoxi ignored him and turned to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a few sounds behind her, followed by a piercing sound, as if someone had suddenly disappeared!
He really jumped!?
Lin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned around. Sure enough, she could no longer see Yang Chen!
"Yang Chen!"
Lin Ruoxi's heart sank as she shouted out loud. She ran to the railing and was about to look down when she saw a figure flying over!
When Yang Chen jumped down earlier, he grabbed the edge of the roof with one hand, and now he was only lifting himself up with the power of his arm. Other people might not be able to do this kind of terrifying difficult action in their entire lives, but to Yang Chen, even jumping up from the bottom of the building to the third floor was just a blink of an eye.
Lin Ruoxi was frightened and panicked again. Her vision blurred again and Yang Chen was safely in front of her again, looking at her with a smile.
"You …"
Lin Ruoxi was almost on the verge of tears. She was about to curse a few times, but before she could say anything, she was unable to say anything else.
That was because Yang Chen had opened up his arms and held her in his arms tightly.
Lin Ruoxi's watery eyes widened as she felt her heart pounding. She could not help but feel a familiar scent from her mouth and nose, and her mind went blank.
In the end, she was still hugged by him, and he tricked her into coming back.
Just at this moment, from the direction of the Zhonghai City area in the distance, a cumbersome and thick "clang …" "Dang …" "Clank …" The sound.
Was it the city bell?
Is it midnight?
Lin Ruoxi heard Yang Chen's voice in her ear, exhaling hot air that made her shy. "Wife, Ruoxi, did you hear that? This is the end of the year, we know each other, noisy, married, cold war, painful, happy, sweet, no matter what, this year is over …"
Lin Ruoxi was silent. She understood what Yang Chen wanted her to do. Her hands reached out and hugged Yang Chen's waist at the same time. Although it was soft, it was still in her embrace.
"I want to cross the year with you, just like now. In the future, every year will be like this as well …"
The sound of his words became fainter at the end because a lot of families in the villa had lit up the last of their fireworks.
The sky was filled with dazzling fireworks, and it was a rich purple. A deafening explosion resounded through the clouds.
The brilliant light of the fire illuminated their calm and gentle time.
