The mother and daughter were a little speechless. Su Hao leaned over and said in front of Cheng Ling: "Zhou Yang, where is your IQ?"
Zhou Yang, who was still racking his brains to think of how to introduce himself, was stunned after hearing this. After a long while, he uttered a low "fuck" and said, "Thank you, honey."
The word "wife" was not hidden, and Cheng Ling felt that she had heard it wrongly. She looked at Su Hao, but Su Hao did not look at her mother. She just held the phone and said, "Okay, drive carefully."
Zhou Yang: “Yeah.”
"Aunt Cheng, I will take good care of Su Hao." He promised.
Cheng Ling sighed, her eyes slightly hot, but she didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth, hesitated, and said, "Su Hao is very honest. Once she decides who someone is, she won't change her mind. You... don't mess around outside, she can't bear it.
There was a hint of panic in his tone.
Cheng Ling has always been worried about Su Hao. When it comes to relationships, she is afraid that Su Hao will suffer a loss, because she has suffered this many times.
Zhou Yang heard it, and he said, "Aunt Cheng, don't worry."
He paused, "In this relationship, I love Su Hao more than she loves me."
Before, when he thought of this, he might have felt entangled and wronged, but at this moment, he suddenly figured it out: the one who loves more gives more, and the one who is loved can feel more secure. As a man, he is not afraid of loving more, he is only afraid of loving too little and not being able to give her a sense of security.
Cheng Ling's eyes became even redder: "Okay, thank you."
He actually knew what she, as a mother, was worried about.
Su Hao listened to Zhou Yang's conversation with his mother without saying anything. After a while, she took the phone and said, "Zhou Yang, thank you."
Zhou Yang smiled: "Why are you being polite?"
"Wait for me on New Year's Eve."
Su Hao: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Su Hao took out a tissue and gave it to Cheng Ling, "Mom, are you relieved?"
Cheng Ling pressed her eyes and hummed a few times. After a while, she took Su Hao's hand and said, "That's what you said, but our family's conditions are too different from theirs. You and Zhou Yang must be more open and transparent with each other. If he's out there, you should pay attention to him occasionally."
Su Hao: “I know.”
"It's mainly because he's so good-looking. Look at his eyes and eyebrows. He looks like a playboy. Girls can't walk when they see him."
Su Hao nodded: "Yes."
Cheng Ling grumbled a little more, saying that her body functions were limited after all. Later, she felt sleepy, so Su Hao helped her go to bed directly and told her to take a shower the next day.
On New Year's Eve, Licheng was sunny all day. Su Hao and Cheng Ling were taken to Lanwan by Su Si. Zhou Qinkai was also at home, and spent most of his time in the study.
There were only three women and three nannies on the first floor. They arranged flowers in the morning and started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon. Su Hao wore an apron and was busy running around.
I occasionally looked outside, but there was no message on my phone.
Susie came out with the dumpling stuffing, and seeing Su Hao like this, she shouted, "Hao Hao."
Su Hao turned around and immediately said, "I'm here."
Susie put down the dumpling stuffing, walked over, wiped the flour off her chin, and said, "It's okay, I'll be back."
Su Hao: “Yeah.”
She put away her expression, picked up the dumpling wrappers, and started making dumplings. Her face was gentle, and she couldn't see any thoughts. But Su Xi could see the worry hidden under the gentle mask of Su Hao. She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Qinkai who came down from upstairs. Zhou Qinkai shook his head, indicating that he had not received any news.
Susie was also a little lost.
Cheng Ling was the only one in the room who didn't know that Zhou Yang was currently unable to move, and she only thought that Zhou Yang was still on a business trip. It was getting dark, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, and there was still no movement outside the door.
Su Hao stood by the table, picked up his cell phone, and prepared to send a text message to Zhou Yang.
It's always possible to send text messages without the Internet, and I only edited one word. There were footsteps on the stairs. Su Hao looked up and saw Zhou Yang walking in with a cold wind on his body, wearing a shirt and trousers, with his coat wrapped around his arms and a cigarette in his mouth. He stood beside the cabinet, took out the cigarette, and his narrow eyes contained a smile. After a few seconds, he spread out his hands, holding the cigarette between his fingertips, and looked at Su Hao.
Su Hao put down her phone, ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Zhou Yang's back hit the cabinet, and he chuckled and whispered in her ear: "It's heavier, are you pregnant?"
Su Hao buried her head in his chest and answered calmly, "No."
Zhou Yang: “…”
"I remember I didn't wear a condom." Zhou Yang gently sucked her earlobe and whispered. Su Hao shrank her shoulders and said, "Anyway, I didn't."
Zhou Yang was disappointed: "Oh, what did you do?"
Su Hao: "I won't tell you."
Zhou Yang: “…”
"You're back, that's great." Susie's eyes were full of joy. She asked the nanny to get Zhou Yang's luggage. The nanny sighed, and Cheng Ling came out with chopsticks, also smiling: "Now that you're back, let's eat. It's perfect. It's all hot."
Su Hao struggled out of Zhou Yang's arms, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the chin. Zhou Yang lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile, then kissed her back, and then took her hand and walked towards the restaurant. When passing by Zhou Qinkai, Zhou Yang called out "Dad". Zhou Qinkai smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Glad you're back."
The father and son looked at each other. The warmth in their eyes was not obvious, but it could still be felt.
After having the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There were sounds of firecrackers outside, the TV was playing downstairs, and various songs from the Spring Festival Gala were playing. In the master bedroom on the second floor, the dark-colored bay window was closed tightly, and Su Hao was sitting on the bay window.
Fireworks were also set off in the neighborhood, crackling. From the half-open window, one could see the colorful sky. Su Hao sat on Zhou Yang's lap, buried her head in his shoulders, swallowing the sounds that were about to come out, and looked at the fireworks outside with tears in her eyes. After a while, she only felt a sense of overwhelm. After Zhou Yang stopped, she fell into his arms and didn't move. He stroked her shoulders and said, "Let's count down, ok?"
Su Hao said in a hoarse voice: "Okay."
Then, he picked her up, walked to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and washed. About half an hour later, Su Hao, wearing a black long skirt, a black jacket, and a hat, was hugged by Zhou Yang and went downstairs. The sound of people eating melon seeds and chatting downstairs was very loud. When Su Hao and the other person came down, the sound of eating melon seeds became quieter, and they looked up one by one.
Seeing the two of them like this, they really are a good match.
The men are handsome and the women are beautiful.
Susie opened her mouth: "Want to go out?"
Zhou Yang hummed.
"Where are you going?"
Su Hao: “Count down.”
"Oh, isn't this an activity for young people?" Su Qian covered her mouth in surprise. Su Hao looked at Zhou Yang with a smile, and Zhou Yang said, "Aren't we young?"
As he spoke, he took Su Hao's hand, took the car keys, and walked towards the door.
Su Hao turned around and said to Cheng Ling, "Mom, I may not come back tonight."
Cheng Ling grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said "oh". She couldn't think of what to say for a moment. While she was in a daze, the two of them had already gone out.
It was very cold outside. Su Hao snuggled in Zhou Yang's arms. He bent down and kissed her, then asked, "Are you okay?"
Su Hao: "My legs are a little weak."
After that, the man laughed, his voice was particularly low and pleasant in the night, and he said: "I did too much, it's my fault."
Su Hao hit him on the chest.
He laughed again. He was wearing a black suit jacket with a shirt underneath with the collar open. He looked very dashing. He opened the car door and helped Su get in.
Start the car and drive all the way to the city center.
There must be a traffic jam at this point, so I parked my car directly in front of the Star Club, walked along the sidewalk, and arrived downstairs at the CBD Plaza.
At this time, the place was crowded with people. Zhou Yang leaned on the roof of a sports car and hugged Su Hao to avoid being squeezed by others. Su Hao also hugged his waist, leaned in his arms, and stared at the clock in the square.
She asked, "This sports car looks familiar."
"Jiang Yu's." Zhou Yang's voice sounded above his head. Su Hao was stunned. "I don't see anyone."
Zhou Yang: "Your two o'clock direction."
Su Hao turned around and saw Jiang Yu and Yun Lu holding two children under a big tree. Yun Lu was waving at Su Hao through the crowd.
One of the girls was already very big now and looked very similar to Yunlu. She waved along with her mother.
Su Hao: "Yunlu already has two children."
Zhou Yang: "Do you think you are like us?"
Su Hao: “…”
She also waved to Yunlu, and when she turned around, she bumped into a Hummer with its windows open. In the car, Meng Ying was wearing a mask and sunglasses, holding a boy in her arms. Xu Dian was holding his glasses and talking to the boy. Su Hao and Meng Ying's eyes met and they nodded to each other.
Then she seemed to see Li Yi, with his hands in his pockets, and a girl in front of him, who seemed to be chattering about something. Li Yi had no expression on his face at the lively scene, just listening to the girl talking. Su Hao couldn't see the girl's appearance, but her eyes met Li Yi's.
He nodded and looked away.
Su Hao couldn't respond.
The crowd was crowded, and Su Hao also saw Lu Qi, Liu Yan, and vaguely saw Nie Xun, but Nie Xun was just driving by. He met Liu Yan's eyes and said something to her, but no one knew what he said. Soon, the car drove away.
Zhou Yang pinched Su Hao's chin and said, "Don't look at them. They are all here to join in the fun tonight. Two of them brought their children, and one was forced to come by a little girl."
"As for Liu Yan, she probably passed by. Her tattoo shop is nearby."
Su Hao: “Oh.”
She stopped looking at them and leaned in Zhou Yang's arms, waiting for the countdown.
Most of the people in the square are students.
Watching the clock tick, Hello New Year, everything goes well, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The huge purple fireworks exploded in the sky with a bang.
Zhou Yang kissed Su Hao's lips: "Happy New Year, wife."
"Happy New Year, my Zhou Yang."
After the countdown, the square was noisy and crowded. Su Hao didn't say goodbye to them, and was taken by Zhou Yang along with the crowd back to the Star Club.
But Su Hao was pulled into a group.
Licheng
Xu Dian and the others were handing out red envelopes. Su Hao got on the bus and went to grab them. He could grab a lot from one red envelope. Su Hao's hands were shaking. These people were too generous.
The car drove all the way back to Yiwan Shanshui. Aunt Zhang was waiting for them in the living room. When she saw them come back, she immediately prepared milk, bird's nest, etc.
Zhou Yang took off his coat. A video message came from his phone. Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and answered it. On the other end, Meng Ying's face appeared. "Where's Su Hao?"
Su Hao heard the voice and moved over. Zhou Yang held her in his arms. She smiled and said to Meng Ying, "I'm here."
"Su Hao, Happy New Year." Meng Ying smiled. She sat on the sofa, her long legs swaying slightly, but Xu Dian could be vaguely seen kneeling not far away
That delicate face, with squinting peach blossom eyes, was still talking to his son.
Su Hao was a little unsure.
But it seemed that she had something to say to Zhou Yang, so Su Hao left. She went to the cabinet, drank a glass of milk, and was about to talk to Aunt Zhang.
Then Meng Ying asked Zhou Yang: "What is my husband's secret?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang sneered and said, "Look at his knees."
Meng Ying turned her head and saw that Xu Dian's knees were a little bulging. She was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, she stood up, walked over, grabbed Xu Dian's collar, and said, "Get up."
Xu Dian was stunned for a moment, then adjusted his glasses, "Huh?"
"What's on your knees?" Meng Ying reached out to touch it, and pushed up Xu Dian's trousers, revealing a bright red thing that looked like a pillow inside.
Xu Dian narrowed his eyes and turned to Meng Ying's phone.
Facing Zhou Yang's smug handsome face, Xu Dian sneered and shouted, "Su Hao, is it easy for you to see your husband kneeling?"
Zhou Yang was stunned.
Just when he was about to turn off the video, he saw Su Hao also holding one in his hand, kneeling easily, looking at him tenderly, Zhou Yang screamed, his knees softened, and the video was not turned off.
Xu Dianye's voice was heard from the other side.
"Wife, I only tied this thing once, fuck..."
Zhou Yang knelt on one knee and looked at Su Hao, "I haven't tied it before... Really."
