"How arrogant. How brazen." Grandpa Chen snorted."My granddaughter has been noble since birth. She's not someone to be compared with a nasty businessman like you."
"Miss Chen's nobility is only present in the eyes of the Chen family. It doesn't mean that outsiders would think of her that way and love her the same." After saying that, Sheng Xiao wanted to leave with Mu Qiqi. But just then, Chen Qiao grabbed Mu Qiqi's hand.
"Don't be proud. We will surely meet again one day."
Mu Qiqi freed herself from the entanglement by pushing Chen Qiao away."My time is for my family and the corpses. Miss Chen, not everyone is as free as you."
"Just wait and see."
Having said that, Chen Qiao marched away angrily before Grandpa Chen and he ran to catch up with her blindly.
Seeing this, Mu Qiqi shook her head."I do not wish to see Miss Chen again."
Sheng Xiao's lips curled up. Then, he gently patted Mu Qiqi's hand."Let's go home."
"Since it's all alright now, I shall go home. My wife is going to nag soon, " Secretary He said to them after Grandpa Chen left.
Mu Qiqi waved goodbye at Secretary He with a smile. However, she did not move.
"Wait, Xiaoxiao. We'll leave after the other guests have left."
Sheng Xiao frowned."Why?"
"My heel is broken." She nearly fell because of the stiletto.
Hearing this, Sheng Xiao crouched down and checked on her shoes. Seeing that she could no longer walk in her silver stiletto, he bent down and picked her up.
"Put me down." Seeing people around, Mu Qiqi struggled immediately.
"I've already picked you up. Stay quiet." Sheng Xiao ignored her resistance and walked out of the banquet hall with her in his arms.
"People are watching."
"You were a brazen girl in the past. Why are you so shy now?"
Mu Qiqi looked down and buried her head in Sheng Xiao's chest. The staff helped Sheng Xiao to wear his black coat. Then, he carried Mu Qiqi into the extended black limousine.
At the VIP lounge on the second floor, the president saw the young couple leaving and thought that they were very interesting. So, he said to his secretary, "They are such a loving young couple."
"Yes. But they aren't husband and wife yet. Miss Mu is still too young, so they can't register their marriage."
"Are you complaining that the legal age of marriage is set too high?"
"I didn't say anything." The secretary shut his mouth quickly.
But that was what was on his mind.
When the bell of New Year rang, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi were still on their way home. In the car, Mu Qiqi lay on Sheng Xiao's lap and looked at the fireworks in the sky.
"It's so beautiful."
"These types of moments are best matched with some champagne and sweet kisses." Sheng Xiao stared at Mu Qiqi's head, and he put his long right arm on her shoulder.
Mu Qiqi turned to Sheng Xiao. She threw his arm away and sat up, looking at the man."You want some sweet kisses? I can give them to you now."
Sheng Xiao did not move at first, pretending that he could resist. However, when Mu Qiqi was really close to him, he held the back of her neck directly, ready to eat her up in the car.
Since the driver was separated, he could not see the situation at the back.
So, the two were even more unashamed in the car.
The most beautiful fireworks should be watched together with one's most important person. And almost hidden by the loud sound of the fireworks was the soft sound of moaning.
...
On the other hand, Tang Yan and a few policemen on duty worked until twelve o'clock. When Feng Shanshan felt tired while waiting for him, she slept in the autopsy room.
When Tang Yan got in and saw her, he picked her up.
It was so cold in the room, yet she was not afraid of catching a cold.
Feng Shanshan slept very lightly. When she felt her body being moved, she opened her eyes in confusion. Seeing that he was a man she trusted, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep in Tang Yan's arms.
"They're playing with firecrackers now. Do you want to join them? We can go home after that."
Feng Shanshan did not move, so Tang Yan thought she was asleep again. But after one minute, Feng Shanshan opened her eyes big with much effort.
"Let's go."
Once in the yard, Feng Shanshan became sober. She had never played with firecrackers after her parents divorced. That was many years ago.
In her heart, she felt that firecrackers were something only a person who had a complete family could play with.
"Feng Shanshan, you haven't gone home? Come and play with us."
Feng Shanshan smiled and ran over to them.
Tang Yan looked at Feng Shanshan. He did not join them. But when he saw Feng Shanshan's smile, his heart warmed. This winter was not as cold as the years before. Perhaps it was because he had a lover now.
"Captain Tang, come join us." The team called him over.
Tang Yan shook his head and declined."You all have fun."
"Shanshan, you don't have a boyfriend? Is that why you stayed here with us, the bachelors, in the middle of the night?"
"I have one, " Feng Shanshan replied casually."My partner is a workaholic, so he has no time to accompany me. That's why I am forced to stay here and play with these boring firecrackers with you."
"He is so clueless in romance, isn't he? How can such a person have someone so cute be his girlfriend?"
"Absolutely."
Girlfriend?
"Well, it's almost time. I will send her back. You can clean up and go home already." Tang Yan's heart throbbed when he heard that word, so he threw a gaze to Feng Shanshan.
"Captain Tang, Happy New Year."
The two smiled and waved goodbye to Tang Yan. Then, Tang Yan left with Feng Shanshan.
But once they were in the car, Tang Yan sped up. So, Feng Shanshan reminded him."We are not in a hurry. You don't have to be so fast."
"You aren't, but I am."
Having said that, Tang Yan continued to speed up and they reached home in record time. However, Feng Shanshan had trashed the house, so they couldn't get in.
"The key to my house is in your house, " Feng Shanshan said helplessly."Where's yours?"
Not bothered about having keys or not, Tang Yan drove the car to the yard. Then, he adjusted his car seat and got Feng Shanshan on his lap.
"Do you want it?"
Feng Shanshan felt that the man looked even tastier when they were in the dark. So, how could she resist his invitation?
"Yes!"
One word was enough to describe her state of mind at the moment.
