Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

The first thing to do when we get home is to distribute gifts as usual.

When Huo Yuanzhou returned from abroad, he didn't bring any of his own things with him. His large suitcase was filled with all kinds of gifts.

Receiving gifts is a happy thing, especially for the younger generation of the Huo family who rarely have such an experience, it makes people excited and look forward to it.

The children were happily opening their presents there, and even their grandmother was pestered to come over and choose something.

Huo Yan looked at them laughing and raised his hand to hold Ruan Xingchen's hand.

Ruan Xingchen looked over, with stars in his eyes.

"I want to thank you, Madam." He took her hand and solemnly kissed the back of her hand. Suddenly he said seriously, "What I said before was wrong."

Ruan Xingchen was puzzled: "Huh?"

"I shouldn't ask Madam for a reward. I should thank Madam."

There was a warm current flowing in his black eyes, like the surging waves on a quiet summer beach.

If she hadn't come, he would never have known what home felt like.

These idle brothers and sisters will not become brand new.

He whispered, "Madam must be a fairy from heaven. She can do magic, right?"

Otherwise, how could he make his world look brand new in a short period of time?

Why did this person suddenly become so sweet?

Ruan Xingchen was startled at first, then smiled and said, "I'm not a fairy."

How could there be a fairy like her who is vindictive and petty?

"If I could do magic, I'd be a witch."

He should be feared and avoided by everyone, and he should be tied to the gallows and burned to death to atone for his sins.

She was clearly smiling, but Huo Yan felt that there was a deep sadness in her eyes.

He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly with a distressed look on his face, and said in a deep voice, "If Madam is a witch, then I will break all the rules and make this world a kingdom of witches."

Ruan Xingchen looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Huo is like a child today too."

She thought this was a bit childish.

It was not until many, many years later, when recalling this scene, that Ruan Xingchen suddenly realized that this was not just the immature behavior of a grown boy, but a promise that twenty-one men spent their entire lives to fulfill.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing lively in the living room, and the Huo family gathered together again for a reunion dinner.

Along with the lively sound of firecrackers outside the window and the fireworks lighting up the night, the TV broadcast the excited New Year countdown of everyone.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Happy New Year!"

Amid the noise, the Huo family members raised their glasses and clinked them together.

The new year has begun.

After the meal, Ruan Xingchen took out a few red envelopes and handed them to the younger generations: "Happy New Year! Put them under your pillow and sleep with them."

New Year’s money is for a safe and peaceful year ahead.

It was the first time for the younger generations to receive such a ceremonial red envelope, and they all held it in their pockets cherishingly.

Huo Qianqian jumped up and down while grabbing the red envelope: "Then I must go to bed early today!"

She also received red envelopes from others!

Ruan Xingchen ignored their noise and stuffed the thickest one into grandma's hand, saying in a gentle voice: "Grandma, Happy New Year."

In previous years, it was her grandmother who gave her New Year's money. In her previous life, she had already joined the Zhong family this year. She was busy with social activities on New Year's Eve and simply called her grandmother and said "Happy New Year".

She always felt that she was busy and always thought that she would have time next year to spend the New Year with her grandmother.

It gets delayed year after year.

Before she had time to relax, she received the news that her grandmother had passed away.

To her, the greatest meaning of rebirth is to be able to live her life over again, to be able to say "Happy New Year" to her grandmother in person again, and to be able to give her grandmother a red envelope in person.

Ruan Xingchen's eyes were red and tears were flashing in her eyes.

"Nannan has grown up."

Grandma's eyes were red, and her wrinkled hands gently touched the top of her head, saying with relief and tenderness: "Happy New Year, Nannan too. In the new year, Nannan will always be happy."

The old man always puts her first and thinks of her all the time.

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help shedding tears and nodded vigorously: "I'll listen to grandma."

"Silly girl." Grandma's eyes turned redder, but she smiled and wiped her tears: "You're already married, and you're still crying all day long."

"Even after you get married, Madam can always be a child who cries when she wants to cry and laughs when she wants to laugh."

Huo Yan squatted down beside her and took out a red envelope from his suit pocket, which was so thick that it was almost bursting. "This is my New Year's money for my wife."

Seeing the red envelope bearing a weight that its body should not be able to bear, Ruan Xingchen, who was originally crying, could not help but burst into laughter.

She took the red envelope with a smile and said, "Who would stuff a red envelope so full?"

Huo Yan smiled slightly but said nothing.

If the New Year's money represents the best wishes for the other person, then he wishes the red envelope could be bigger so that his wishes can be greater and she can be safe and happy every year.

The affection in his eyes was almost unconcealable, and seeing this, grandma smiled even more. She put their hands together and said, "Nannan, Ah Chen, live a good life together."

"Don't worry, grandma." Huo Yan said firmly, "We will definitely do it."

"well!"

After all, my grandmother is old, and she starts to feel sleepy after midnight, so she goes upstairs to rest early.

The Huo brothers and sisters were staying up downstairs to celebrate the New Year. Huo Qianqian excitedly took out several decks of playing cards and wanted to get everyone to play together.

Huo Yuanzhou and Huo Jingxuan looked disgusted, but sat at the table honestly.

At this time, Ruan Xingchen's phone rang.

In order to avoid being harassed by others, the work phones of family members have been muted, and most of the people who can make private calls are close relatives.

When the call was connected, it was Professor Zhao Jinping's anxious voice: "Han Xing, I'm so sorry to bother you at this time."

"Professor Zhao, what's going on?"

Professor Zhao's tone was bitter.

It turned out that on New Year's Eve, developers supporting the development of Dongcheng District protested to the higher authorities, arguing that the plan of Professor Zhao and others was unprecedented and could not guarantee profitability.

Once this development plan is implemented, the cost will far exceed that of Dongcheng District.

The risk was too great, and most investors voted against it, so the plan had to be put on hold and Professor Zhao was asked to provide evidence to prove that the plan was profitable.

Otherwise, the development of Dongcheng District will probably be announced after the new year.

Ruan Xingchen's eyes sank slightly.

Could it be that no matter how hard she tried, the plot could never be changed?

Ruan Weisi will still fall in love with Gu Zhao, the Dongcheng District will still be developed, and in the end, Gu Zhao will still be the one in charge of the Gu family.

Were all her struggles in vain? No matter how unwilling she was, she would be treated like a ridiculous joke by fate?

As if sensing her emotions, Huo Yan reached out and wrapped her cold fingers in his palm, saying in a deep voice, "I'll take care of everything."
