Time flies by like water, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and a year has passed like this. I have been in the United States before, and I haven’t experienced the excitement of the Chinese Spring Festival for a long time. Tian Qiqi still misses and looks forward to it in her heart.
But on New Year's Eve, Tian Qiqi was in trouble again. On one side, Jin Maosen asked her to go back there to celebrate New Year's Eve and reunite with her family. On the other side, Tian Baobao was still at Tianlin Villa, and Mr. Lin invited her to the Villa to celebrate the festival, which was lively. After hesitating for a long time,
In the end, Tian Qiqi, under Tian Bao Bao's suggestion, decided to go to the Jin family villa to celebrate the New Year together at noon, and in the evening to go to the villa to stay up with Tian Bao Bao to welcome the New Year.
Just after dinner in the evening, Lin Yi disappeared. This really made Tian Qiqi feel extremely curious.
"Girl Qiqi, are you looking for Yi'er?" Mr. Lin's sharp eyes immediately penetrated Tian Qiqi's thoughts, leaving Tian Qiqi stunned. The embarrassment of being poked into her mind was fully revealed.
"Mr. Lin, I... wish you a happy New Year in advance!" Tian Qiqi originally wanted to deny the explanation, but then she thought about it and the explanation became more and more wrong, so she simply changed the subject, which made Mr. Lin really stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly.
He smiled and said, "You kid, you are quite naughty."
"Here, here you go, take it." Mr. Lin gestured to the butler. The butler took out a red envelope and handed it to Tian Qiqi.
"This is?" Tian Qiqi felt a little strange. Send a red envelope to herself?
"Take the new year's money. This is the rule." Fearing that Tian Qiqi would refuse, Mr. Lin emphasized again.
Tian Qiqi was suddenly stunned. New Year's money? Is it inappropriate to take New Year's money at her age? After a moment's hesitation, she still didn't dare to reach out and take it.
"Hurry up and take it." Mr. Lin repeated again, and the housekeeper almost forced the red envelope into Tian Qiqi's hand. Tian Qiqi felt a thick stack in it, and it felt like a dream. She has never been so old.
She had received New Year's money from her elders. When she and her mother were dependent on each other, her mother's meager income was only enough for their daily expenses. And her annual New Year's money was given to her by Yi Chen. Thinking about this, she felt that Yi Chen's
Feeling guilty a little more.
As expected, Mr. Lin was so generous. Tian Qiqi was a little stunned. It took her a long time to regain consciousness and hurriedly said "Thank you."
"Kid, why are you so polite?" Mr. Lin said angrily. "Okay, let's get ready and play a few rounds of mahjong later to relieve our boredom. If you have any other exciting activities, you can arrange them yourself." Lin
The old man said kindly, without putting any pressure on Tian Qiqi.
It is said that eating people is soft-spoken and taking advantage of others is short-handed. I'm afraid this new year's money is also the capital that Mr. Lin gave her to play cards. It seems that important people will come to spend this unforgettable New Year's Eve with Mr. Lin today. Tian Qiqi thought to herself.
, nodded absentmindedly.
"Why, you don't want to play cards with old men like us?" Mr. Lin seemed to have read through her thoughts and asked with a bent smile.
"How could that happen?" Tian Qiqi forced a smile to cover up her inner uneasiness.
"Yi'er has left. I'm afraid he won't come back until after 12 o'clock, so you don't have to wait for him." Mr. Lin added thoughtfully, and it was all for Tian Qiqi's ears. It seems that Mr. Lin has a deep affection for Lin Yi.
Know your whereabouts like the back of your hand.
"I - I didn't want to wait for him." Mr. Lin's joke made Tian Qiqi suddenly become shy, and her delicate oval face was dyed crimson.
"Haha, you kid..." Mr. Lin's hearty laughter was so penetrating that it reverberated throughout the villa like a bell, making the entire villa suddenly feel a little more festive for the New Year.
"It's been a long time since I heard your laughter, Uncle Lin's, so shocking. What good thing has happened to you?" Tian Qiqi was still immersed in embarrassment and didn't know how to deal with herself. Suddenly, a warm and powerful sound came from outside.
The magnetic voice, with a hint of freshness and clarity, poured into the ears clearly and audibly. It was true that one heard the voice before seeing the person.
"You kid, you haven't even visited me once since you came back from abroad. It's rare that you are so distracted, and you still know how to come and see me during the Chinese New Year." Mr. Lin's calm tone was mixed with a hint of pampering.
Thinking about it, they must be old acquaintances with whom they have a good relationship. Tian Qiqi turned around and almost froze there. It was Luo Hao! His eyes widened instantly, filled with Luo Hao's tall and straight figure, but she
She was stunned with surprise. She never thought she would meet him here.
"Aren't you here to wish you a happy New Year? Tian Qiqi, what are you looking at me like? Am I so scary!" Luo Hao handed the New Year's gift to the housekeeper to accept, and played a trick on Mr. Lin with a glib tongue.
Without hesitation, he turned his attention to Tian Qiqi. Of course he knew that Tian Qiqi would come here to celebrate the New Year, so he postponed the reunion at his home and came here. As expected, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Tian Qiqi's demented look, with a look on her face.
Embarrassed, I think she was extremely restrained.
"Happy New Year to you!" Tian Qiqi was about to say something back, but realized that this was at Tianlin Villa, so she changed her tone. She didn't want people to think that she was rude or uneducated.
"You kid, why didn't you come earlier, or you would have eaten here?" Mr. Lin motioned for Luo Hao to sit wherever he wanted, and then they started to chat with each other.
"I can't help it, I'm a busy man!" Luo Hao pretended to be helpless, which made Mr. Lin scold him a few more times.
"Okay, you young people, let's talk. We are talking about politics and economy, and Qiqi is boring." Mr. Lin saw Tian Qiqi playing around with her fingers in boredom, and occasionally listened to him and Luo Hao analyzing the world economic situation.
She looked confused, so in order to take care of her emotions, he ended his conversation with Luo Hao. Presumably there would be more topics between them young people. Of course, he also had concerns about the relationship between Luo Hao and Tian Qiqi.
Otherwise, he would not be so bold as to hand over his future daughter-in-law to Luo Hao, a playboy.
"Why haven't I seen Lin Yi for so long? Where are the others?" Luo Hao asked knowingly. He knew that every Chinese New Year, Lin Yi would go to the cemetery to visit Yi Ning, fearing that she would be lonely, so he would spend the whole day with her.
It was the last moment of the year to welcome the New Year together. Over the years, there was no exception. That’s why he chose this day and thought of coming to the villa. He didn’t understand what Lin Yi’s obsession was for these years. End
The speculation in my heart arose, and he looked evil and sycophantic, but he was so elegant and personable that no one could find anything wrong with him.
Tian Qiqi glanced at him angrily, "How do I know, aren't you friends?" She also wanted to know where Lin Yi had gone. He had disappeared since dinner. Mr. Lin also wanted to test himself just now, and he obviously knew it.
Tian Qiqi replied to him angrily.
"We are friends, but isn't he the father of your child?" Luo Hao seemed to be deliberately provocative and turned the conversation back. He drank tea leisurely and looked at Tian Qiqi leisurely, as if he was watching a joke.
, making Tian Qiqi feel even more aggrieved.
There is no doubt that Luo Hao's words hurt Tian Qiqi's internal wounds. He is indeed the father of her son, but other than that? There is no personal relationship between them. If it were in the past, maybe she would try hard to keep a distance from him. But
Now, after this series of things happened, when countless people linked their fates together to form a topic for discussion, everything changed.
It's a pity that he is still so free and easy. Even when they are honest and close to each other, she feels that the distance between them is so far away, so far that even fairy tales cannot explain it. She will always remember that
One day, he roared angrily, "Son, I am determined. But marrying you is just a dream!" This was like a spell, deeply imprinted in her mind and unable to dissipate for a long time.
Tian Qiqi was silent for a long time without speaking. Luo Hao couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. Wouldn't this woman be so angry? But the haze in his heart also enveloped him. He was just a joke, but it could actually trigger
Her such a big reaction shows her feelings for Lin Yi. Is she really serious?
"Are you... okay?" Luo Hao tentatively called her.
"I'm fine. What can happen to me?" Tian Qiqi responded. After suffering many injuries, she learned to show off her strength.
"Mommy, the fireworks are set off. Come out and take a look. They are so beautiful!" Tian Baobao's voice penetrated from outside. This is the advantage of being in the suburbs. It is more free to set off fireworks. And there is no dazzling feasting and entertainment around, there is only one
Ethereal and pure dimness, just waiting for people to paint it with beautiful bright colors.
As soon as she walked to the door, Tian Qiqi heard the sound of "swish, swish...", and then beams of dazzling light flew into the sky. With the sound of "sizzling...", the beams of light suddenly exploded.
In an instant, Tian Qiqi's attention was attracted. Then, with a loud "bang", another cluster of fireworks rose into the sky, bursting into colorful fireworks in the sky. Some were like shooting stars lingering in the night sky, and some were like marigolds blooming happily.
, and some are like fairies scattering flowers, with little flowers falling from the sky.
More than a dozen fireworks pointed directly at the sky, and grains of "golden sand" shot out and bloomed proudly in the sky. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, everything was complete and colorful, decorating the night sky beautifully and gracefully, and illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.
