I'm here to revel, and he's alone

That day, Xiao Xue said that those people who kidnapped us were killed by Di Jin on the spot. This matter was done by Biao Xiong, so he would naturally not let him off.

Then, what about Di Jin?

The question only passed for a moment, and then I stopped thinking about it.

When Mass ended in about half an hour, Di Jin and Yvonne only said a few simple goodbye to his uncle. They didn't say anything else, and we went back.

Back at the mansion, the chef had already finished preparing all the dishes and placed them on the table.

I glanced at it. Goose liver, lobster, roast turkey, Christmas ham, oysters, pickled salmon, cheese, dried fruit preserves, champagne, red wine, etc.

In addition to the food, there were flowers and candles, white porcelain plates, silver knives and forks, and crystal cups, adding a festive atmosphere to the table.

Looking at the plate of tree root cake in the middle, I couldn't help but think of Lou Shaotang.

Last Christmas Eve, the two of us didn't go out to the cafeteria, but instead cooked our own big meal at home. He made himself a piece of root cake, which he had learned from watching online tutorials a few days ago. It was a little worse than this, but it tasted good.

As we ate, he introduced me to the fact that the root cake was a necessary dessert for a French Christmas dinner. Legend has it that a poor young Frenchman who could not afford Christmas presents went out into the woods to pick up a root for his lover, and then there was a lover who married.

When he had finished, I had just brought his Christmas present, the diamond watch, to his wrist, and immediately joked with him, saying that I would only give him roots this Christmas, which would save him a lot of money. He looked at his watch, smiled, and took me in his arms. He put his warm lips to my lips and said that if I gave him this, he would take it, not just from the roots, but from the bark.

His eye sockets turned hot and his throat felt sore.

At this moment, Di Jin pulled up a chair for me to sit on. I hid my sadness and sat down as if nothing had happened. Then he took the seat next to me and Yvonne sat down across from us with Nino in her arms.

Ever since afternoon, when my attitude towards Di Jin wasn't as hateful as before, his mood was like a sunny day in May, the corners of his mouth constantly curled up.

According to the rules, they had to give each other gifts first, but they were afraid that I would get hungry, so Di Jin announced the start of the meal.

I was indeed hungry, and as the baby grew, I digested it faster and faster. Just as I was about to pick up my knife and fork to pick up the dishes, Di Jin had already placed a few pieces of salted salmon onto my plate.

This is my habit. As long as there is salmon on the table, I will eat it first.

Normally, I would throw the fish out of the plate like throwing trash. But because I promised Yvonne that I wouldn't throw Di Jin's face today, I didn't do that. I picked up my fork and ate it.

Di Jin smiled widely as he ordered a servant to open the bottle of champagne and pour a cup for each of us.

"It's a holiday today, so it doesn't matter if you drink less." He tapped his head on the glass in front of me, then picked up his own and raised his glass to Yvonne and me.

Listening to him, I put down my knife and fork, raise my glass with Yvonne, and clink glasses with him.

"Merry Christmas!"

The three of us spoke in unison. The only difference was that both of them were smiling, whereas I was forcefully pulling my lips apart.

I still cared about the baby, so I didn't sip the wine. After touching the glass with my hand, I placed the cup down, and suddenly thought of Lou Shaotang.

What was he doing now?

The time difference between Paris and Seatown was seven hours. He probably hadn't woken up yet.

How did he spend Christmas Eve?

Was it with Shen Yiru and Heng Heng, or was it alone?

It should be a person.

He wasn't a festive person, and if it wasn't for me, all these big and small festivals would be insulated from him. Now that I'm gone, he definitely won't be.

The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached. I gripped my knife and fork tightly, unable to take another bite.

At this time, Di Jin ordered the servant to bring a few beautifully wrapped gift boxes on the table to him. Yvonne also ordered the servant to bring her own.

Di Jin placed the box on the table, picked up the top one, and smiled as he handed it over to me. "Lisa, this is a Christmas present for you."

I looked at the box and was about to say, "No," but then I remembered Yvonne's words and changed my mind. "I didn't prepare yours."

Di Jin didn't mind, he smiled happily and said, "It's alright, you've already given me a big present."

I understood what he meant and fell silent.

"Open it and take a look." He glanced at the gift.

Previously, from the size and shape, he guessed that it was probably a piece of jewelry. As expected, it was a piece of jewelry.

"I saw that you always wore that royal blue coat, and thought that you must really like it, so I customized this brooch to match your outfit."

Looking at Di Jin, then looking at the peacock brooch in my hands that was embedded with blue and green gemstones, I couldn't help but think in my heart, if he knew that the coat that I cherished was custom-made for me by Lou Shaotang, I wonder if he would still smile like this.

He was very considerate to me, I can't deny it, but it's true that I'm not moved at all.

"Put on your clothes, I'll help you put them on and try them on." Di Jin reached out to grab the overcoat that I hung on the back of my chair, stopping me from continuing, "No need, I'll wear it myself later."

I placed the brooch back into the jewelry box and put the lid back on the box.

"Alright." Di Jin did not force it, and passed me another box that was slightly bigger than mine. "This is Rui Rui's."

I was surprised.

Seeing my surprise, Di Jin laughed and said, "Although Rui Rui is not born yet, she is already a member of our family, so she has one too."

I looked at him, and his face was beaming with happiness.

"Help her remove it." When I didn't answer, he brought the box closer to me.

At that moment, the baby stirred in her stomach, as if urging me to accept the gift.

I took it. The gift box wasn't as heavy as mine, so when I opened it to look at it, I saw a small Photo Frame. When I saw the photo inside, I was stunned.

It was a four-dimensional color image of the baby.

This was taken during the midwifery exam a few weeks ago, when the doctor gave it to me and I didn't take it.

I raised my eyes and saw that Di Jin's gaze was fixated on the picture of the baby.

In that instant, my ice-cold heart unexpectedly softened.

When he turned back to the Photo Frame, he found that it was specially made for him. The words written on it were the Chinese name of the baby, "Sisi Rui", and beside the name was a calligraphy piece of French.

"Lola." I couldn't help but whisper.

"Yes, this is the French name I gave Rui Rui." Di Jin explained, "Is it nice to listen to?" he asked. "If you don't like it, we can start again."

Hearing him say "we", the disgusted feelings came again. I put down the Photo Frame and said expressionlessly, "It's pretty good."

Seeing that my mood had reversed, Di Jin's smile froze for a moment, and then quickly blossomed into a smile again. He picked up the Photo Frame and handed it to me, "Look over."

I looked at the Photo Frame and then at him.

His expression was one he was looking forward to seeing.

I reached out my hand to take it, turned it back, and immediately saw two beautiful lines of handwritten Chinese characters — —

Dear Lola, this is the first gift your parents gave you in your life. May you be born safely, grow up healthy, and your parents will always love you.

It was signed by Di Jin and my name, Franco amn Ying.

I stared at my name in amazement.

He didn't write Lisa.

He knew that the name was fake, but he kept on calling it by name. I thought that he had already accepted the name as mine, but I didn't expect that it wasn't.

What moved me even more was that his love for the baby was much deeper than I had expected.

I looked up at him.

It was clear from my surprised expression that he, who always knew what I was thinking, knew what I was thinking. He just smiled and said nothing, passing the other two boxes to Yvonne, who was sitting across from us. "This is for you and Nino."

Yvonne graciously took it and gave him her own and mine.

I was surprised again. I didn't expect her to prepare it for me.

Although our relationship had eased a lot and I had already treated her as a friend, she had not yet done so. From time to time, she would even say something sarcastic or sarcastic to me.

"Thank you." I was stunned for a moment before I smiled and took it.

She was really happy. Since she was able to give me a present, it meant that she didn't hate me as much as she showed on the surface.

At this moment, Snowy walked in with two boxes of gifts. I asked her to go up and get them for me when she just came back. It was my Christmas present for Yvonne and Nino.

"Madam." Snowy walked up to me and handed me the box.

I handed one of the oblong boxes to Yvonne. "Yvonne, here's a present for you." He also brought another small gift box to her. "And this one. It's for Nino."

As if she knew I would give her a present, Yvonne's face showed no surprise. She thanked me and accepted it.

She opened her own first.

Seeing her smile, it seemed that she was quite pleased with it, I also hooked up a cheerful smile.

She folded the shawl and put it back in the box. She opened Nino's, and when she saw it was a pacifier, she raised her eyebrows and held it in her hand.

This pacifier is custom-made according to Nino's sign. When Yvonne saw the Nino's name engraved on it, she pursed her lips again, waved her pacifier in front of Nino's face, and said something in French that I didn't understand, but Nino seemed to understand, and replied, "Ah, ah, ah," twice.

He was so cute that we all laughed.

Kacha! The flashing lights immediately lit up. I turned around and saw Di Jin holding his phone to take a photo of me.

I immediately stopped laughing and just as I was about to stop him, he had already put down his phone. "When next year's Christmas is over, Rui Rui will make our home even more lively."

He laughed heartily, and my body froze, and my expression froze.

Home.

How could my home be here?

My home is in Seahold.

In South of the City Apartments.

His heart began to ache again.

Lou Shaotang ~

He groaned in his heart, and the sound of a cheerful accordion filled his ears.

I came back to reality and looked over to see Di Jin already standing with an accordion on his back.

I was slightly surprised.

It turned out that he could not only play the harmonica, but also play the accordion.

Yvonne sang along with the music as the atmosphere in the restaurant became more cheerful with his playing.

It was a French song I had never heard before, but it was good.

This was also the first time I had seen Yvonne smile so happily, but right now, my heart was feeling especially sad. Looking around me, Di Jin, Yvonne, Xiao Xue, and the other servants and bodyguards, every single one of them was smiling happily.

"I'm a bit tired, so I'll go up to rest first." I couldn't stay any longer. I resisted the urge to cry and stood up.

Hearing that, Di Jin immediately stopped playing, put down the accordion and walked towards me, "I will accompany you."

"No need, you guys continue playing." Today is Christmas Eve, for them like our New Year's Eve, is a very important holiday, I do not want to spoil everyone's fun.

Di Jin looked at Yvonne, who was still immersed in her joy.

"Fine." He turned to Snowy and instructed her, "Accompany your wife up there."

Snowy answered and helped me upstairs.

After returning to the room, I let Xiao Xue leave. Afterwards, I sat down at the writing table and turned on the computer. I tapped on the video of the new "Ya Yan" brand conference, and dragged the progress bar to where Lou Shaotang appeared.
