When night fell, the dining table in the villa was filled with a dazzling array of delicacies. As Guo Xuehua was from the north and Mother Wang cooked southern dishes, the dishes tonight were especially sumptuous.
Because the people present didn't drink much, they started to fight with real knives and guns after dinner.
"Big Brother Yang, let's set off the fireworks!" Hui Lin suddenly said while blinking her eyes in anticipation during the reunion dinner.
Yang Cheng, who was nibbling on a chicken drumstick, waved his hand and mumbled, "What time is it now? Let's eat first. Isn't there a Spring Festival Gala later? We'll set off the fireworks after that."
"But shouldn't we be watching TV after the gala?" Zhenxiu became familiar with them and started to chat at the dining table.
Yang Cheng chuckled, "We'll watch the fireworks when the boring programs are released."
Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang looked at each other and smiled at Yang Cheng, who was acting like the king of children.
Lin Ruoxi ate quietly as usual. Even though it was a happy New Year's Eve, she didn't show much excitement. She just picked some food for Zhenxiu from time to time.
Zhenxiu was a little embarrassed. It was understandable for Lin Ruoxi to pick food for her husband and mother-in-law, but it was weird for her to pick food for an outsider. However, Zhenxiu cherished the feeling of being loved by everyone in the family.
Before dinner was over, the Spring Festival Gala started on TV. After the opening dance, the hosts appeared one by one.
Hui Lin didn't have the chance to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the past, but she was watching it seriously. She suddenly noticed a familiar logo on the side stage where the two hosts were sitting. It was the logo of Yu Lei!
"Sister, why is it your company's logo? Is Yu Lei sponsoring this year's Spring Festival Gala? "Hui Lin asked excitedly.
Lin Ruoxi nodded, "We did sponsor some in the past two years, but we spent more money this year. This is a very important year. The products made of new materials are going to be launched. We need to increase our popularity across the country. "
When Lin Ruoxi talked about work, her cold face was filled with pride and the flames of struggle. Everyone found it quite interesting.
"My daughter-in-law is a strong woman. That's amazing," Guo Xuehua said with a smile.
"Yeah, I think it's amazing that you can manage such a big company. My head hurts just thinking about it," Hui Lin said sincerely.
Lin Ruoxi didn't stand on ceremony. She had been working so hard all these years just to prove her worth and not to embarrass her late grandmother.
"This year, I'm going to acquire around ten more factories and two thousand acres of industrial land. By then, Yu Lei will have no competitors in the country," Lin Ruoxi said confidently.
"Miss, it's the Spring Festival. Don't say such scary things. Two thousand acres and more than ten factories. That's scary!" Mother Wang patted her chest and said with a smile.
"I think one acre of land is quite big," Zhenxiu mumbled.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized that she was at home and not in front of the higher-ups in the company. She couldn't help blushing. Every time she talked about work, she couldn't help but lose control.
Yang Chen snickered at the side. It was indeed hard for a housewife like Wang Ma to imagine how unreachable the things Lin Ruoxi usually did were. Perhaps it was because of this that Lin Ruoxi seemed so different from other women of the same age.
Quietly, Yang Cheng whispered into Lin Ruoxi's ear, "Don't let someone come looking for revenge and say that you ruined their family or something."
Lin Ruoxi knew that Yang Cheng was talking about the incident at Yuping Clothing. She frowned and said, "I still have to do what I have to do. I need to expand and I need more manpower. I can't just sit back and do nothing just because I'm worried that someone will take revenge on me."
"That's true. I just wanted to say that you can bring me, your husband, along when you go to the factory for inspections in the future," Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, but she felt more at ease. Perhaps this was the feeling of having someone to rely on.
Not long after, Mother Wang brought out a few plates of dumplings from the kitchen. Although some of them were damaged, they all looked pretty fresh.
"Come, come, it's time to eat the dumplings. Miss, Young Master, don't buy so many dumplings in the future. If you can't finish them, it'll be too much!" Mother Wang complained.
Lin Ruoxi pouted and said, "Mother Wang, I already said that we didn't buy them. Yang Cheng participated in a competition and the shop gave them to us."
"What competition? Why did they give him dumplings? "Guo Xuehua asked curiously.
Yang Cheng smiled awkwardly and told them about the eating competition in front of the dumpling shop. When Guo Xuehua and the other women heard that Yang Cheng ate "88" dumplings, their jaws almost dropped.
"Don't eat like that in the future. What if you get a stomachache?" Guo Xuehua was full of pity and complained.
Yang Cheng did not say that he did it to win a doll for Lin Ruoxi. He said casually, "I won't do it again."
Lin Ruoxi was embarrassed to say that Yang Cheng found out that she liked the doll. Seeing that Yang Cheng did not say it, she knew that he did not want Guo Xuehua to blame her. She could not help but feel warm in her heart.
After dinner, Yang Cheng followed Hui Lin's instructions and set off all the fireworks, marking the end of the New Year's Eve program. The women were tired. After a busy day, they cooked a table full of dishes. Even if they were happy, they would still be tired.
When they went upstairs to rest, Yang Cheng, who had finished watching the Spring Festival Gala, switched off the television and went back to his room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the room, Yang Cheng took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom in a thin white bathrobe. She was stunned to see that someone sent her a message so late at night.
When she saw that it was from Yang Cheng, Lin Ruoxi was even more stunned. After all, Yang Cheng had never sent her a message before, let alone at home. It was almost bedtime.
"Come to the rooftop."
Yang Cheng only sent four words.
Lin Ruoxi frowned. The message was sent just one minute ago, which meant that Yang Cheng asked her to go to the rooftop of the villa.
There was an empty rooftop on the east side of the villa. Usually, there were only some flowers and plants, so she did not go there often.
"To go or not to go?" Lin Ruoxi bit her lip. Without thinking for a moment, she walked into the dressing room in the bedroom, changed into a simple thermal underwear, and put on a light brown mink coat, so that she was not afraid of the cold wind outside.
Although she didn't know what that guy was going to do so late at night, he wouldn't dare to do anything hard.
Lin Ruoxi thought nervously, but she couldn't help but walk out of the room. She walked softly to the rooftop without disturbing others.
As soon as she walked to the rooftop, the cold wind at night hurt her face. Lin Ruoxi tightened her coat, and her black hair was blown messily in the wind. Her beautiful face was particularly lovable, like the epiphyllum blooming in the quiet night, beautiful and fleeting.
Lin Ruoxi opened her eyes in confusion and looked carefully. A familiar figure was standing at the railing, looking into the distance and waiting for her.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Ruoxi walked up and asked in a clear voice. She was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time the two of them had a rendezvous on the rooftop in the middle of the night.
Yang Cheng didn't turn around and said leisurely, "Look, that's Zhonghai City over there. The lights tonight are much brighter than before."
Lin Ruoxi walked to the railing and rubbed her hands to get rid of the cold, "Really? I didn't see it."
"That's because you sleep after work every day. You don't have the mood and time to watch these boring things." Yang Cheng smiled.
"Why are you still watching if you're bored?" Lin Ruoxi frowned.
"It's boring to watch, but it doesn't matter what I'm watching when there's someone watching it with me." Yang Cheng turned around and smiled mysteriously at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was a little flustered, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Wife, let me hug you, okay?"
Suddenly, Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi blushed and glared at him, "Boring. If that's what you want to talk about, I'm going back to sleep."
"If you don't let me hug you, I'm going to jump down from the third floor." Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi pouted, "Go ahead and jump. You only know how to act like a rascal."
"I'm really going to jump." Yang Cheng looked serious.
Lin Ruoxi ignored him and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a few noises 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. As expected, Yang Cheng was nowhere to be seen!
"Yang Cheng!"
Lin Ruoxi's heart sank and she cried out involuntarily. She ran to the railing and was about to look down when she saw a figure suddenly jump up!
When Yang Cheng jumped down, he grabbed the edge of the rooftop with one hand. At this moment, he was just using the strength of his arm to lift himself up. Others might not be able to do such a terrifying and difficult move in their lifetime, but for Yang Cheng, even jumping from the ground floor to the third floor was just a blink of an eye.
Lin Ruoxi felt a wave of fear, and then another wave of panic. Her vision blurred again, and Yang Cheng was already safe and sound in front of her, looking at her with a smile.
"You …"
Lin Ruoxi was so anxious that she was about to cry. She was about to scold him, but before she could say anything, she couldn't say it anymore.
This was because Yang Cheng had already opened his big hands and hugged her soft and delicate body tightly in his arms.
Lin Ruoxi's watery eyes widened. She felt a burst of heavy and powerful heartbeat, and her mouth and nose were filled with a familiar scent. She couldn't help but feel her mind go blank.
In the end, she was still hugged, and she was tricked to come back.
At this moment, from the direction of the city of Zhonghai, there was a heavy and heavy "dang … dang … dang …" sound.
Is it the sound of the bell coming from the city?
Is it midnight already?
Lin Ruoxi only heard Yang Cheng's words ringing in her ears, and his hot breath made her feel shy. "Honey, baby Ruoxi, do you hear that? This is the sound of the end of this year. We know each other, quarrel, get married, cold war, pain, happiness, sweetness. No matter what, this year is over …"
Lin Ruoxi was silent. She suddenly understood what Yang Cheng meant when he asked her to come up. She couldn't help but stretch out her hands and hug Yang Cheng's waist at the same time. Although she hugged him gently, she still hugged him.
"I want to spend the New Year with you, just like now, and every year in the future, it will be like this …"
His voice was a little muffled at the end, because many families in the villa area had lit the last fireworks at this moment.
The resplendent fireworks filled the sky, bursting out with a deafening sound that resounded through the clouds.
The colorful flames illuminated the peaceful and warm time between the two of them.
