CHAPTER 265: CHAPTER 252 NEW YEAR

Lin Zhenxin rarely saw Aunt Xu so emotional, but soon Li Yanan cleared up the mystery for her.

"Aunt Xu likes having a lot of people around, it’s lively."

Lin Zhenxin looked up just in time to see his chin, freshly shaved, clear and bright, making him look particularly spirited.

"Do you like it?" She said while reaching out to touch his chin.

Grandma laughed heartily, and Lin Zhenxin felt embarrassed, feeling as if she were teasing a respectable gentleman.

"I can accept it."

He didn’t say he liked it, just that he could accept it, which meant it depended on the situation.

Lin Zhenxin pouted, feeling only one thing in her heart...

Her husband was just too tsundere!

About an hour later, Yao Lemon was delivered by the driver, carrying loads of stuff in her hands, wearing a bright red trench coat, looking extremely beautiful.

"Happy New Year!" As soon as she entered, Yao Lemon started with pleasant greetings, making Aunt Xu laugh non-stop.

In fact, what she brought were just some ordinary things, bought when Gu Daxiong left the other day.

Last night he had even reminded Yao Lemon to be sure to bring them, saying it was a matter of manners.

Grandma was also particularly happy to see Lemon, as if seeing another family member.

After all, for so many years, it had always been Grandma, Lemon, and Zhenxin spending the New Year together.

In Grandma’s heart, Lemon was like another granddaughter.

Aunt Xu was busy making dumpling filling in the kitchen, and Yao Lemon acted like she was in her own kitchen, not sure what she said to Aunt Xu, but Aunt Xu kept laughing.

The air was filled with a nice fragrance.

Because of the heating, the room was warm, and Lin Zhenxin just stood there, watching everything around her.

Isn’t this...

The life she has always dreamed of?

It’s so wonderful, so blissful!

Grandma, with her head not being clear, caused a funny incident during the time.

She sneakily took something out from her room and waved at Li Yanan cautiously.

Li Yanan didn’t understand the situation, but he walked over, and just as he got close, Grandma grabbed his hand!

"..." Li Yanan didn’t speak, but he was a bit puzzled by the situation.

"Daughter-in-law, this is something I’ve wanted to give you for a long time..." Grandma finally mumbled on.

"..." Daughter-in-law?

Li Yanan looked down at the item wrapped in red cloth that Grandma was holding in her hand, waiting for her to unwrap it. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a silver bracelet.

"I have no capabilities, and Jusheng is not ambitious... I’m on your side..."

Li Yanan looked at Grandma, a flash in his eyes, and didn’t resist, letting Grandma put the silver bracelet on his hand.

Though it looked so ridiculous when worn.

As if sensing something, Li Yanan looked up and met Lin Zhenxin’s gaze.

She just stood there, her eyes falling on that silver bracelet.

That was once the last valuable thing in their family, but no matter what, Grandma wouldn’t allow her to sell it.

After Grandma got sick, there were things she couldn’t even remember herself.

Yet Lin Zhenxin hadn’t expected that this silver bracelet was meant for Tu Xinya.

After Grandma put the bracelet on Li Yanan, she turned and left, leaving Lin Zhenxin still standing there, looking at Li Yanan from a distance.

"What to do?" Li Yanan walked over and lowered his voice, ensuring Grandma couldn’t hear.

The bracelet was easy to put on but not so easy to take off.

Moreover, men’s bones are naturally larger, which made it look even more ridiculous now.

"It looks pretty good on you!" Lin Zhenxin deliberately joked, ignoring the pangs in her heart.

It’s better for Grandma to be like this, as long as she’s happy now and not having episodes, that’s all she wants...

She really doesn’t ask for anything more.

"Alright, then I’ll wear it." Li Yanan didn’t say anything else, just pulled down the sleeve of his black sweater to cover the tight bracelet.

"No, no, no, I’m just kidding."

Lin Zhenxin didn’t want Li Yanan to keep wearing it, not to mention the silver bracelet was clearly for women, and how would it look for him to keep wearing it?

With that, she pulled Li Yanan into the bathroom.

Lin Zhenxin kept pressing the hand soap.

The silver bracelet had been around so long that it was a little tarnished, so Lin Zhenxin didn’t feel bad about rinsing it with water, the most important thing was...

It couldn’t come off!

"Does it hurt?" Lin Zhenxin looked at the red marks on his wrist, feeling almost heartbroken.

"It doesn’t hurt, take your time, no need to rush." Li Yanan reached out to tuck the hair by her ear behind it, his expression gentle.

"Yeah, you could have just found a reason not to put it on in the first place."

Grandma was confused, he can’t just follow suit, can he?

Li Yanan didn’t say anything, watching Lin Zhenxin bite her lower lip while looking at his wrist, he smiled.

He moved behind her, letting his hands pass over Lin Zhenxin’s shoulders, as if from an outsider’s angle, it looked like Li Yanan had his arms around Lin Zhenxin.

Somehow, he managed to quickly take the bracelet off.

"It’s all red." Lin Zhenxin looked at the unnatural red ring on his wrist and couldn’t help but hold it.

"Does it hurt?" Li Yanan asked.

Lin Zhenxin didn’t say anything.

Li Yanan brought his hand close to her lips and then stopped.

Lin Zhenxin looked up at him, a bit puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

"Blow on it and it won’t hurt."

His voice was deep and magnetic, making Lin Zhenxin turn her head away with a smile, but soon, she earnestly lowered her head to blow on his hand.

As she blew, Li Yanan lowered his head, bringing his face close to her lips.

He stopped at a close distance, as if wanting to merge their breathing sounds.

"Don’t be sad." He said softly.

Lin Zhenxin’s long lashes quivered slightly, and sure enough, she couldn’t escape Li Yanan’s notice.

"Yeah, I’m not sad anymore..."

Really, not sad anymore...

Grandma prepared two red envelopes, one for Lin Zhenxin, and one for Yao Lemon.

As usual, Yao Lemon kissed Grandma loudly on the cheek.

Inside the red envelope was just one hundred yuan, never changing, but the meaning far exceeded the amount.

After putting away the red envelope, Yao Lemon turned and went to the kitchen to help Aunt Xu with preparing lunch ingredients.

Meanwhile, Li Yanan reached out and patted Lin Zhenxin on the head, like he was dealing with a little child.

Lin Zhenxin looked back, still holding that red envelope, her eyes bright and radiant, looking so beautiful.

"Come with me." Li Yanan turned and entered the room.

Lin Zhenxin quickly reacted and followed him into the bedroom.

"Here." When Li Yanan turned back to face her, he was holding two red envelopes, thick ones, handing them to her.

"For me?" Lin Zhenxin looked up in surprise.

"One is for you, and the other is for him." Li Yanan’s gaze fell on her lower abdomen, his eyes gentle.

Lin Zhenxin opened the red envelope, she hadn’t expected it to be such a large sum of wealth.

"From now on, I’ll prepare one for you every year."

Li Yanan smiled gently, unlike the indifference he showed to others.

Lin Zhenxin just looked up at him.

Not knowing how much time passed, she walked to the bed, bent down, and lifted his pillow.

Underneath, quietly lay another big red envelope.

"I originally... wanted to give it to you tonight." Compared to the amount Li Yanan gave her, her red envelope was really embarrassing.

With her long lashes quivering, she handed the red envelope to Li Yanan.

Obviously, Li Yanan didn’t expect Lin Zhenxin would prepare one for him as well.

"You lack a mother, I lack a father, our families are incomplete, in the past... except for Grandma, no one else would give me a red envelope, I bet you had even less..."

Lin Zhenxin said softly, a smile faint yet beautiful at her lips.

"Thank you for being willing to marry me, thank you... for using your broad chest to build a wall for me, sheltering me from the wind and rain!"

"Thank you for tolerating me, indulging me, and not being scared away by my temper!"

Lin Zhenxin raised the red envelope high, her eyes shining with an indescribable brightness, which looked incredibly beautiful to Li Yanan.

"In the future, I’ll prepare one for you every year!"

"Husband, Happy New Year!"

As soon as Lin Zhenxin finished speaking, Li Yanan slowly reached out, pulling her along with the red envelope into his embrace.

"Zhenxin, what did you call me?" His voice trembled slightly.

Blush gradually spread across both sides of Lin Zhenxin’s face.

Of course, she knew what he meant.

"Silly, husband..."

In stark contrast to Lin Zhenxin’s side was Susan He’s side.

The usually quiet neighborhood suddenly became lively, with firecrackers sounding off in succession, while Susan He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at another slightly distant glass window, where figures could be vaguely seen moving around.

The more lively it was over there, the lonelier it seemed on this side.

He Nuoxin had already been sent back to New York, and He Bainian had also flown back to New York yesterday to celebrate New Year with the He family, leaving only Susan He here alone.

"Ms. He..." The assistant looked troubled, holding something in hand with some hesitation.

"Send it after midnight tonight."

"Can you guide the police without causing trouble?" The assistant was a bit worried.

"This is just a warning, follow my instructions!"

Yao Lemon truly lived up to her reputation as a lively atmosphere stimulator; ever since she arrived, Aunt Xu’s and Grandma’s laughter hadn’t stopped.

Li Yanan was following Aunt Xu’s instructions and hanging two red lanterns on the balcony, waiting to be lit at night.

"Lemon, are you unhappy?" When Lemon plopped down next to Lin Zhenxin, Lin Zhenxin lowered her voice to ask.

Yao Lemon’s expression froze for a moment, but quickly, she returned to her cheerful demeanor.

"Aren’t I quite happy, it’s New Year, you have to say auspicious words, don’t you know!"

Yao Lemon feigned a bandit’s grin, reaching out to touch Lin Zhenxin’s chin. Just then, Li Yanan looked up from where he was helping Aunt Xu, casting a glance at Yao Lemon.

Yao Lemon felt a chill down her spine and quickly drew back her hand, sitting properly.

It was as if she encountered the disciplinarian in school.

"Your Uncle Li is too scary, with that stern face like King Yan."

Until Li Yanan lowered his head again, Yao Lemon finally felt she could breathe freely once more.

"Nonsense, your big bear looks more like King Yan!" Lin Zhenxin said playfully.
