In the dining room, the whole family sat around the table, eating and chatting. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Somehow, the topic of the conversation turned to having a baby.
Yao Huiqin said, "Xin 'er will be 20 years old soon. When the time comes, Yanqing and Xin' er should quickly get their marriage certificate. After the New Year, I will start preparing for their wedding."
Cao Guifang said with a smile, "After they get married, they can have a baby."
Cao Guifang's words were exactly what Yao Huiqin wanted. "Yes, yes, yes. Women should have children. As for career, Little Five will be enough."
Cao Guifang was from the countryside. She felt that having a baby was the only way to take root and establish a firm foothold in the Family Huo. Yao Huiqin's words were exactly what she wanted. She looked at Shuxin and said, "Xin 'er, you have to work hard. Giving birth to a chubby baby for the Family Huo is the most important thing."
After that, they talked about the baby for the whole meal. Shuxin's face and ears were red from eating.
Tang Ching-ya was eating so much that she almost had an internal hemorrhage.
After dinner, Cao Guifang and Shu Youkang drank tea and sat for a while. Then, they asked to go back.
Yao Huiqin asked them to stay for the night. They didn't want to, so he asked the driver to send them home.
Shuxin watched the New Year's Gala with Yao Huiqin. Huo Yanqing sat next to Shuxin, holding her hand and resting on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Tang Ching-ya didn't go back to her place. Shuxin found that as long as Huo Yanqing was at Yao Huiqin's place, Tang Ching-ya must be there.
Huo Jibai went upstairs early. It was as if he had changed into a different person. He no longer bickered with Shuxin and spoke less. When he had time, he would hide in the study and read. It was as if he wanted to make up for all the studies that he had neglected in the past few years.
It was Shuxin's first New Year's Eve at the Family Huo. Yao Huiqin had planned to spend the New Year's Eve with her, but he was getting old and had never stayed up all night. His eyelids were so heavy that he could barely keep them open at eleven o 'clock.
Shuxin sent Yao Huiqin upstairs to rest. Yao Huiqin chatted with her for a while. When they went downstairs, it was almost 11: 20 pm. Huo Yanqing and Tang Ching-ya were nowhere to be seen.
Mother Yun was tidying up the coffee table in the living room. There were fruits and snacks on the coffee table. When she saw Xin, she asked, "Xin 'er, are you hungry? I'll make supper for you. "
Shuxin shook her head. How could she possibly be hungry? "Where are Yanqing and Qingya?"
"Miss Qingya was in a bad mood when she thought about Yanqing just now. She cried. Yanqing took her to her room to rest." Mother Yun arranged the food on the table neatly. "Yanqing asked you to go over first."
"… Okay." Shuxin felt a little upset. It was so late at night. Why did she not think about Huo Xiang? Why did she have to think about him at this time? She felt that Tang Ching-ya was doing it on purpose. She wanted Huo Yanqing to spend the New Year's Eve with her.
This was the first New Year's Eve for Shuxin and Huo Yanqing. She wanted to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with him.
Shuxin helped Mother Yun tidy up the living room before going back. It was already 11: 45 pm when she got back to her room.
Shuxin lay on the bed. She raised her left hand in front of her eyes and stared at the watch that Huo Yanqing had given her. She watched as the second hand ticked.
She thought about calling Huo Yanqing to urge him to come back, but she did not want to. After sending Tang Ching-ya home, he should have come back a long time ago. If he wanted to, he would have come back to spend the New Year's Eve with her.
She felt that the gentleness that she was about to receive was meaningless. She hoped that Huo Yanqing could read her mind and know that she wanted to spend the New Year's Eve with him.
However, Huo Yanqing was still not back by 11: 50 pm.
