"Hello." On the high-speed train home, Miao Xingyao received a call from Su Hanyu.
"Where have you been?" Su Hanyu asked.
"Still in the car." Miao Xingyao glanced out the window, and the outside was filled with green color that was rapidly retreating.
Su Hanyu smiled and said: "Isn't that very good? You can have sex with your sweetheart in the car."
"..." Miao Xingyao was silent for a while before saying, "Senior, he has stayed in the company."
"Ah?" Su Hanyu asked, "Didn't he accompany you back to meet your parents?"
"There seems to be something wrong with Xinyou. He can only stay in the company." Miao Xingyao was very relaxed. It would be better not to take him back. He didn't know what her mother would say.
"Hey, did his parents say anything?" Su Hanyu asked again.
"Yes, mom said she must go back to accompany her and grandpa after the New Year." Miao Xingyao said with a smile.
Su Hanyu smiled: "Hey, you are calling me so affectionately, so why do you still call me Senior Yu Jingxuan?"
"I'm sorry." Miao Xingyao muttered. They didn't get along for a long time, and Yu Jingxuan didn't say anything about changing their names.
"Hey, you two haven't done it yet, right?" Su Hanyu asked bluntly.
There were coughs on both sides of the phone at the same time.
"Hanyu, you... can you not be so straightforward, you are a woman!" Miao Xingyao said.
"Isn't it normal between husband and wife?" Su Hanyu asked back.
Zhou Pulai walked away knowingly, really not knowing what outrageous sayings his beloved wife would say later.
"Have you not used that box of chocolates yet?" Su Hanyu chuckled.
"I hung up the phone." Miao Xingyao hung up the phone directly, wondering where the box of chocolates was. You must look for it when you get home and hide it. It would be bad if you make a joke.
After arriving home, Deng Man's attitude was much better than before, and Miao Qingyong was also happy and relaxed. He could have a good year this year.
But when it comes to the New Year's Eve dinner... it's not so harmonious.
"Go and meet Aunt Zhang's son tomorrow." Deng Man said calmly.
Miao Xingyao put down the bowl and said, "Mom, I already have a boyfriend."
"I said I don't agree with you, so you can't be together," Dunman said.
"Mom, you can't always interfere with my decisions like this." Miao Xingyao said weakly.
Deng Man said loudly: "It's because of him to contradict me again, huh, he will only teach you bad things."
Miao Xingyao stood up and said: "The senior didn't teach me anything at all. He also said that you were doing it for my own good and told me not to be angry with you. Don't always belittle the senior like this."
"What's wrong with him?" Deng Man stared at Miao Xingyao.
"Then what's wrong with him?" Miao Xingyao asked.
Deng Man said coldly: "I didn't choose him. I don't know his family background and I don't trust him. And who knows if he will go out and cause trouble. Moreover, his job is unstable. Can he give you a stable life?"
"Then the choice you made is perfect?" Miao Xingyao asked angrily.
"Of course." Denman said matter-of-factly, "Of course I chose the one that suits you best."
"Mom, I'm not your puppet." After saying this, Miao Xingyao returned to the room and locked herself in. No matter how much Miao Qingyong tried to persuade her, she would not open the door.
Miao Xingyao was really fed up with Deng Man's controlling nature, and her life was really unhappy.
Miao Xingyao didn't know how long it had been since she was lying in bed watching the Spring Festival Gala on her mobile phone. Suddenly her mobile phone rang, and she saw it was Yu Jingxuan.
"Hey, senior." Miao Xingyao said weakly.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Jingxuan asked sensitively.
"No, no." Miao Xingyao sat up immediately. She didn't want Yu Jingxuan to know that her mother had said something unpleasant again.
"Sorry, I couldn't accompany you back." Yu Jingxuan said apologetically.
Miao Xingyao smiled and said: "Work is important, and there is nothing good about coming back."
"Did you have a fight with your mother?" Yu Jingxuan's eyelids twitched and he asked.
"Ah, no, no." Miao Xingyao denied. She didn't expect Yu Jingxuan to be so powerful.
"That's good." Yu Jingxuan said, "What are you doing?"
"Watching the Spring Festival Gala. What about you?" Miao Xingyao asked.
Yu Jingxuan leaned on the back of his chair with his mobile phone and said, "I'm still at the company. I didn't expect this bug to be fixed until now."
"Yeah, that's good!" Miao Xingyao said with a smile. I hope everything goes well for this new game.
"Oh, did someone set off fireworks over there?" Yu Jingxuan heard the sound of fireworks.
Miao Xingyao walked to the window and said, "Yes, do you have any over there?"
"It's very quiet outside." Yu Jingxuan also walked to the window, "It feels very lively over there."
"Yeah, isn't it just a fun time during the Chinese New Year?" More than one family set off fireworks outside, Miao Xingyao said while admiring the fireworks.
"By the way, Happy New Year." Yu Jingxuan said.
Miao Xingyao glanced at her phone and it was exactly twelve o'clock, and said quickly: "You too, Happy New Year."
"Why are you so anxious?" Yu Jingxuan's laughter came from the other side of the phone.
Miao Xingyao said: "It's almost like I won't step on the spot anymore."
"It's okay again." Yu Jingxuan disagreed. He just happened to see the clock on the computer when he stepped on the clock.
"I want to do this." Miao Xingyao insisted, she felt it had special meaning.
"Um."
The two of them were silent for a long time, both thinking at the same time, it would be nice if they were by each other's side.
After chatting for a while, the two of them needed to take a break, so they hung up the phone.
In the morning, before her eyes were fully opened, Miao Xingyao went to the toilet to wash up. When she came out, she bumped into Deng Man.
"Ah, Mom, you scared me to death." Miao Xingyao patted her chest, wondering why Deng Man was standing at the toilet door so early in the morning.
"Look at what time it is now." Deng Man said, "It's already 9 o'clock. My appointment with your Aunt Zhang is at 9:30, so hurry up."
"Mom, I told you that I have a boyfriend and I won't go on a blind date." Miao Xingyao said impatiently, why would she say such a thing so early in the morning.
"You have to go even if you don't want to. I firmly disagree with that person." Denman said loudly.
"I'm not going." Miao Xingyao said angrily.
Denman asked: "Aren't you going?"
"I told you I won't go. If you like blind dates so much, then you can go." Miao Xingyao insisted.
"You..." Deng Man gasped, "If you don't go, don't call me mom."
"Mom, do you need to be like this?" Miao Xingyao couldn't believe it.
"Of course," Dunman said.
"Then I'll never come back." Miao Xingyao said, then returned to the room, quickly packed up her things and left.
Miao Qingyong, who had just returned from a walk outside, happened to meet Miao Xingyao in the corridor.
"Xiaoyao, where are you going on New Year's Day?" Miao Qingyong asked.
"Go home." Miao Xingyao said coldly.
Miao Qingyong was confused: "Isn't your home right here?"
"Dad, Mom said that if I don't go on a blind date, I won't be her daughter." After Miao Xingyao said that, she bypassed Miao Qingyong and left.
Miao Qingyong was unable to intercept and had to go home, only to see Deng Man with an angry face.
"Why didn't you stop her!" Denman said.
"You don't want this daughter anymore, I can't stop you." Miao Qingyong was also angry, why couldn't he live a good life this year
"Does she need to be like this?" Denman asked.
"Then do you need to do this?" Miao Qingyong asked, "You have to force your daughter away to be satisfied."
"Didn't I go on a blind date just to make her compromise? Who knew she would actually leave." Deng Man also wondered when Miao Xingyao had such a bad temper.
Miao Qingyong lost his anger and said: "You really are, can't you use a gentler approach? And why must Xiaoyao do something she doesn't want to do? She is also a human being, and she cannot be at your mercy."
Miao Qingyong shook his head and went back to the room, leaving Deng Man alone in the living room.
