The Qin family is not very affectionate. Even on New Year’s Eve, a time for family reunions, they don’t gather together. Therefore, even after Su Zhengxing returned from abroad, he spent the New Year alone.
Qin Shen had initially intended to visit him, but he was overwhelmed with work and was on a business trip abroad during the New Year.
Su Zhengxing didn’t have any special feelings for these traditional holidays. If anything, they only brought back negative memories, especially of New Year’s Eve. After all these years, he had long since grown accustomed to being alone.
This day was just an ordinary one for him: an ordinary wake-up, an ordinary meal, and an ordinary workday.
But this year, this ordinary day was unexpectedly interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.
“I’m afraid that on New Year’s Eve, there will be too many blessings and you won’t see my greetings! I’m afraid that on the first day, the firecrackers will be too loud and you won’t hear my blessings! I’m afraid that on the second day, the food will be too delicious and you won’t see my messages! So I choose to send you New Year’s blessings now. I wish you, Mr. Su, a happy New Year and all the best!”
Lin Qiao hid behind a red gift she held high, tilting her head to reveal a pair of bright, dark eyes.
Su Zhengxing glanced at the two packages: a carton of Wangzai milk and a gift bag of snacks…
Su Zhengxing: “…Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome! This is what we subordinates should do!” Lin Qiao grinned and leaned forward.
“Mr. Su, why don’t you invite me in for a seat?”
Seeing that her face was red from the cold, Su Zhengxing moved aside to let her in.
The first time is unfamiliar, and the second time is familiar. Lin Qiao changed into slippers at the entrance and walked in as if she were familiar with the place.
Su Zhengxing seemed to be working. There were some documents scattered on the coffee table in the living room, and the laptop screen on the sofa was also on.
Lin Qiao, upon seeing this, immediately began to flatter him.
“Mr. Su is truly the backbone of Baitian. You work diligently even during the New Year’s holidays. Your dedication, responsibility, and perseverance are truly admirable and worthy of our learning!”
Su Zhengxing, who was on vacation at home, was less serious and more casual than when he was in the company.
He hadn’t combed his hair, leaving it flowing freely and unrestrained. He wore a dark gray cashmere loungewear, and the drapey coat framed his slender figure, giving him a soft and lazy look.
He took out the frameless glasses from his pocket and put them on, then leaned against the wall with his arms folded, watching Lin Qiao’s performance quietly.
The atmosphere was awkward, so she had to change the subject.
“Mr. Su, would you like some snacks? This is the extra-large package I bought for the Spring Festival!”
Seeing that Su Zhengxing didn’t answer, Lin Qiao changed to another gift, “Or drink milk. This milk is delicious and not sweet at all!”
Su Zhengxing still didn’t answer.
Lin Qiao felt uneasy. After putting down the gift, she forced herself to walk to the coffee table and put on a smile, “Mr. Su, it’s a bit messy here. Can I help you clean it up?”
Just as she was about to start cleaning, Su Zhengxing finally spoke up, “You came all the way here during Chinese New Year just to clean for me?”
“Of course not!” Lin Qiao blurted out, then realized she’d spoken too loudly and lowered her head.
“Actually… I have another motive.”
This was the first time she’d honestly admitted her ulterior motive.
Su Zhengxing lowered his arm, his voice all ears.
“Oh? What’s your purpose?”
Lin Qiao scratched her hand a little embarrassedly, “Mainly… I want to please you.”
On the way here, she had discussed with the person in her consciousness that since she was here, she couldn’t go back empty-handed. Half a year would pass in a flash, so she had to seize every opportunity to complete the task as soon as possible.
