Chapter 241 As long as you are happy, leave everything to me
When the two returned home, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Because they did not plan to celebrate the New Year in City B, they gave all the servants in the house a New Year's holiday, and now they could only prepare the New Year's Eve dinner by themselves.
Ning Yuechen changed his clothes and walked into the restaurant on the first floor. He saw someone cooking attentively in the Chinese kitchen. He could not help but lean against the door frame to observe the other person carefully.
Bai Yi placed the freshly fried Boston lobster on the warming plate. He turned around and saw someone staring at him. A warm smile appeared on his face: "What are you looking at?"
The next moment, I heard the other party sigh with a slight sarcasm: "Although I hate to use the definition of a good wife and a good mother to describe a girl, but at this moment, President Bai really makes me imagine a lot."
"When you say you're daydreaming, do you mean our married life?"
"What do you think?"
Bai Yi smiled softly: "Although I also think that women should spend more time and energy on striving for their careers and realizing their own life values, cooking for the one you love is also a kind of life pleasure."
Ning Yuechen tilted his head slightly: "So Mr. Bai thinks that the prerequisite for marriage is to have a successful career?"
Bai Yi felt that her girlfriend was setting a trap for her. After all, she had often used this kind of conversation to make a fuss. She often couldn't win the argument with this person, and in the end, she would inexplicably become the wrong party and could only apologize.
Then he said, "For me, marrying you is the most important thing. I will take the responsibility of earning money to support the family, and I will fulfill all the obligations after marriage seriously. You just need to be happy and be yourself."
Ning Yuechen curled her lips, thinking that if Bai Yi found a new girlfriend in the future, that person would definitely thank her. Without her hard work in nurturing and planting trees over the past year, based on this person's previous emotional intelligence, he would have ended up with bruises all over his body.
Thinking of this, she turned her attention to the dumplings already wrapped on the small square table, enough for two people, and asked, "Did you wrap these too?"
"Yeah, during the Chinese New Year, we have to eat dumplings that we make ourselves, and we have to set off firecrackers before eating, so that we can have the festive atmosphere."
Ning Yuechen knew that she was a good cook, but he never thought that she could even make dumplings and that she attached so much importance to the Spring Festival ritual. After all, she had studied abroad since she was a child and rarely returned to China for the holidays. It was rare for her to have such feelings.
She looked at the people who were still busy in the kitchen, and suddenly felt guilty, so she asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"
Bai Yi was cooking the last dish and looked at her lovingly: "No, just eat it."
"Why? You dislike my cooking skills? I'm pretty good at cooking."
The smile in Bai Yi's eyes deepened: "I have tasted the food you cooked, it is indeed very good, but when we are together, I don't want you to work hard."
Since she said so, Ning Yuechen naturally would not insist any longer and just said, "Then I'll go get the fireworks from the storeroom and light them together before dinner."
"Okay, be careful, just take out the ones at the door, and don't light them yourself, we'll do it together later."
"Okay, I'm not a child. I don't need you to remind me again and again before I can understand what you say."
Ning Yuechen waved at her impatiently, then turned and left the restaurant.
Bai Yi was already accustomed to her charming and funny temper. He just smiled and said nothing more, continuing to concentrate on cooking.
She served out the last dish and looked at the soup that had been simmering for an hour before turning around and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window in the kitchen. From this direction she could just see the scene in the front yard.
Ning Yuechen placed the last box of fireworks in the middle position in front of the fountain, and looked at the small fireworks that had been placed on both sides. At this time, a dreamy and bright splendor bloomed in the distant night sky. She looked up to admire it for a while, and suddenly became interested. She picked up the fairy wand on the ground, lit it with a lighter, and started playing with it by herself.
Bai Yi looked through the window at the long-haired girl who was happily spinning around in the fountain holding a firework stick. A soft and doting smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a picture of this beautiful scene.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she turned to the front yard and hugged the person who was having fun from behind: "Happy New Year, baby."
Ning Yuechen felt the warmth from her body, but his heart suddenly turned cold. He responded calmly, "Happy New Year."
Bai Yi kissed her neck: "The New Year's Eve dinner is ready. We can go in and eat after we set off the fireworks."
"it is good."
The two of them came to the fireworks that had been lined up, and Ning Yuechen asked, "I don't dare to light them, can you?"
"nature."
Hearing her confident tone, Ning Yuechen couldn't help but glance sideways. Then he suddenly remembered that this person was someone who dared to fire a gun, so setting off fireworks was indeed a piece of cake.
She stepped back behind the fountain and watched the other party light the largest box of fireworks in the middle. Amid the brilliant blooming of fireworks, she was thinking about whether Aunt Shi would be free by this time next year, and what situation she would be in.
She planned all this, moving forward with determination and yet fear in her heart, but at the same time she also knew that there was no turning back.
She must free Aunt Shi, no matter what the cost.
Just as she was lost in thought, someone hugged her shoulders. Amid the bright and noisy fireworks, she heard Bai Yi ask, "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."
Ning Yuechen shook his head and gave a forced smile: "I'm not thinking about anything, I just feel a little tired."
Bai Yi thought that she felt even more guilty because she had suffered such injustice in the Bai family and had taken a flight for several hours to rush back, so he turned and hugged her in his arms.
She apologized: "I'm sorry, baby. I shouldn't have forced you to integrate into that family. It's all my fault. I won't do it again."
Fireworks continued to bloom in the night sky. Ning Yuechen asked tentatively, "Bai Yi, do you really not blame me? Because of my behavior today, you broke up with the Bai family."
Bai Yi looked calm: "I know you did that on purpose."
Ning Yuechen's heart tightened. Just as he was thinking about how to explain, he heard the other party continue, "When you asked me about the details of the ancestral hall last night, I guessed that you would go there to cause trouble this morning. Because of the grievances that Shi Yu had suffered in the Bai family over the years, and because of the unpleasant things that grandpa and grandma said to you before, you wanted to deliberately annoy them. I understand."
After a long silence, Ning Yuechen spoke with a trembling voice: "Since you knew, why didn't you stop me? Since you could guess that I would go over there, you should have prepared for the worst."
"I said, as long as you are happy, leave everything else to me."
