As it turned out, he was the one who got the coin, and she clapped her hands to show that everything was going to be fine every year.
He knew she was comforting him, and that the dumpling with the coin must have been marked in his bowl. The little girl had a lot of ideas, but she felt warm inside.
Although he couldn't see that New Year's Eve, he still remembered it for the rest of his life.
Ji Junyang turned his head to look at Xiao Yannan's drooping eyelids. The corner of his mouth curled up in a cold manner as he pulled her hand, "Go back to your room. It's pretty cold outside."
"Mm. Alright." She seemed a little sleepy too. The warmth of his palm was very warm. She would definitely hold it tightly for the rest of her life. No other woman would be able to snatch it away from her.
When he reached his room, he released his grip. "I'm going to take a bath."
Xiao Yannan rolled into the blanket, her face was red, his breath was refreshing under the blanket, and there was a short strand of hair on the pillow. She took a pillow and hugged it to her chest, her heart thumping happily.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom, like the sound of a spring in a mountain stream. His straight body reflected in the frosted glass a faint shadow. This man would belong to her tonight, completely and utterly. Wen QianXun, snatching from me would only bring shame upon yourself. The final victor would still be me.
Ji Junyang calculated the time and walked out of the bathroom. As he expected, the woman on the bed had already fallen into a deep sleep. There was still a trace of a happy smile on her face that hadn't been retracted in time.
He just added a little medicine to the wine, and he knew the trick, but he did it more perfectly than she did.
This familiar face suddenly made him feel strange. 'Yannan, you must be hiding a lot of things from me, right?
When Xiao Yannan woke up the next day, Ji Junyang was sitting by her bed, smiling at her while dressed neatly, "Morning. I thought you were going to sleep a little longer. I didn't expect you to wake up so early."
Her face was red, but she couldn't remember what happened after he took a bath last night. It was as if she had fallen asleep while waiting for him.
Xiao Yannan was upset, but she also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She was a suspicious person, so she naturally wondered if there was something wrong with the alcohol she drank before going to bed. Ji Junyang's transformation was a good thing for her, but it happened too fast. In the end, she still felt uneasy in her heart, as she could not see through this man's heart. He agreed to be married, but that didn't mean he was in love with her.
Not all men and women were united by love, especially in their circles. Love was a cheap commodity, and many couples shared the same dream.
He suddenly changed his mind. Perhaps it was pity for her after so many years of waiting, or perhaps, it was despair after so many years of looking for disappointment. No matter what it was, she could not accept it. She had always felt that she lacked the opportunity he had given her, and now that the opportunity had come, she naturally could not let it go. She would tightly grasp onto it, even if nothing had happened last night.
The wine had not passed through his hands. The wine and wine had all been casually chosen by her, and there was no question about it. She must have been too tired yesterday, she consoled herself.
How could Ji Junyang not understand Xiao Yannan's misgivings? It was just that he was not afraid thathee would think too deeply about it. If this woman was too anxious to marry him, even if he suffered a loss, she would only bury it in his heart and not utter a single word.
He suddenly felt a sense of disgust towards this face. Previously, he thought that besides some of the young miss' pettiness and willfulness, she wouldn't be a bad woman. But now, he began to doubt her.
Lin Feng had always disliked her. Sometimes, when he was asked to do something for her, the boss would be unhappy. This assistant didn't like to speak ill of others behind their backs, but she hurt Yannan and said that she was very fake.
At that time, he was only smiling because he didn't have any sense of vanity.
Now that he thought about it, perhaps he had missed out on some important information in the false image of a childhood sweetheart.
But now, with no time for him to think, the soft whirring of the lock reminded him that it was time to go downstairs. Seeing her curled up in the blanket without moving, he smiled lightly and said, "What, still not getting up yet? Where's New Year's breakfast? Can't you make it?"
Xiao Yannan lifted the quilt and stood up, "Who said I don't want to do it? I'll go and change my clothes now."
He usually wouldn't leave, but at this moment, he was running like the wind.
Mother Ji had always left a room for Xiao Yannan next door, coming and going. Xiao Yannan stayed here for a long time, she did not lack clothes for the four seasons.
When they went downstairs, Mother Ji was already sitting in the main hall drinking tea leisurely.
Xiao Yannan walked over, "Mom, why don't you sleep more?"
"How was your sleep last night?" Mother Ji chuckled as she asked, her dubious gaze sweeping between the two of them. The eldest son finally understood and offered to get married. Last night, she had merely used the New Year's Eve to get them married early.
Although her body had been operated on and her heart had changed, it was still unknown how many years she would live for. She hoped that she would be able to hold her grandson for the rest of her life.
"I'm fine!" Xiao Yannan blushed, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast."
Mother Ji waved at her son before patting the sofa beside her, "Jun Yang, come over here. Mom will have a word with you."
Ji Junyang walked over and sat down, "Mom, go ahead."
Yannan, I watched her grow up. She's a pretty good girl, she's obedient, sensible, and filial. She's been waiting foolishly for you for so many years. I know you have known for so many years, and my heart has been wavering, trying to find the girl who saved you. Mom has never seen that girl, but I've heard you talk about how much better that girl is, but the one who left was her. It wasn't that you didn't want her, but she gave up on you first. I think you are more grateful to her than to love her. You don't even know what she looks like. "Now that you have made up your mind to marry Yannan, I hope you will be good to the child and not do anything that will hurt her, do you understand?"
"Mom, don't worry about this anymore. I know what I'm doing." He knew what he was doing, and what he should do.
No one could escape unscathed after playing tricks under his nose.
Ji Junxiang and Ji Junling woke up one after the other. Their eyes were still sleepy and sleepy, "Mom, good new year!"
Mother Ji looked at the two siblings' expressions, both angry and amused. "Look at you two lazybones yawning here. Your sister-in-law has been busy working in the kitchen for a long time."
Ji Junling perked up when she heard this. "Seems like sister-in-law really intends to be a good wife and mother. I just don't know if the dishes will turn into poison. Big brother, you should prepare yourself."
Mother Ji stared. "What are you saying? It's fine if you don't want to help, but do you want to say something unlucky for the new year? Hurry up and rinse your mouth to wash off your stinky breath!"
Ji Junling opened her mouth wide in front of Mother Ji and said, "How is it stinky? I just brushed my teeth, but the mint flavor of the toothpaste is still fresh."
Xiao Yannan really cooked a table of good dishes. She looked pretty good, but she didn't know how to taste it.
Ji Junling looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at Xiao Yannan, "Sister-in-law, did you really make this?"
Auntie Zhou answered on behalf, "These are really all done personally by Miss Xiao. As for us, we'll just help out a little."
Ji Junling laughed, "Sister-in-law, you really can't tell. When did you become so capable? I remember last year, you almost caused a fire in the kitchen, scaring my mom and me to death."
"Don't say such embarrassing things, didn't you see that sister-in-law's face had turned red?" Ji Junxiang said from the side.
Mother Ji said, "You, learn from your sister-in-law. Don't always fly around and focus on your work. Do women learn how to use cooking …"
"If you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first." Ji Junling interrupted her mother's words, "Mom, what age are you? You're still so old-fashioned. If a man's heart wasn't with a woman, then no matter how well she cooked, she wouldn't be able to keep that man's heart. Furthermore, why would a woman have to serve a man? Hmph, I want to find someone to serve my appetite. "
Ji Junxiang laughed, "Then, Sis, you might as well go and find a chef. He can cook whatever you want to eat."
Ji Junling smacked her palm down, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're a mute. Many chefs look like they're big and eat too much. Your body is so fat, which insults my visual sense of beauty."
"Alright, you two siblings don't have any nice words to say to each other. Your sister-in-law has been busy the whole morning, hurry up and eat. Otherwise, she'll catch a cold." At the dinner table, she gave Xiao Yannan a New Year's red packet.
Ji Junling protested, "Mom, why does Sis have one? We don't have one."
"Aren't you all people with jobs?"
"Eldest Sis also has a job. Besides, he has a big backer like Big Brother. That's a rich woman." "Mom, you really are incredible. Sister-in-law hasn't even entered the door yet, yet you're already so biased. If I marry you and you don't want your daughter, then when I marry you, won't you agree with the old saying that you poured water on me?" Ji Junling usually didn't like to talk much, but her speech was like a barrage of cannons.
Mother Ji gave her a glance. "You? "By the time you get married, my hair will be completely white, and I'll be very picky. Do you really want to pick up thirty years old?"
When this topic was brought up, Ji Junling immediately went silent. They were all introductions of some lousy man. If it wasn't the young master of the Li family, then it was the son of the Wang family.
She really didn't like that kind of man. As her mother, she really didn't know what she saw in them.
"Alright, let's eat. How many points can my cooking give us?" Xiao Yannan tried to smooth things over as she picked up a chicken leg for Mother Ji, "Mom, I didn't do well. You have to correct me."
Mother Ji took a sip and nodded. "That's right. Jun Yang, what do you think?"
"Mm, not bad." Ji Junyang lightly smiled. Suddenly, he remembered something else. That kind of smell, no matter how many years had passed since he last smelled it, he would still remember it.
