After the end of the annual feasts, there are three more days before the Chinese New Year’s Eve. Bree
strongly urges her to come home. This is also a custom of their family for many years. Every New Year,
she has to be at home.
Lily follows Rex back to the villa to pack things. The two have not officially met each other’s family.
Thus, Lily is not convenient to bring Rex home. Little did she expect that this person had ordered Joe to
prepare a holiday gift in advance.
There are the latest electronic products for Harry, as well as caterpillar fungus and various precious
nourishing products for Bree. All of it is packed in the trunk of the car.
Lily suddenly feels that the journey back to home is a bit heavy. “Why don’t you keep it a little, it’s a bit
too much…”
“It is that much?” Rex glances at it and shakes his head, “At first, I wanted to double it but Joe advised
me not to.”
Lily silently gives Joe a thumbs-up in her heart, he advised him well.
“I’m going home for Chinese New Year, not to send a gift. My mother will give it to others if you give too
much.” They are an ordinary family and do not have any particular customs. Too many gifts will make
them uncomfortable.
Harry and Bree are not greedy for rich person, accepting these valuable gifts will pressure them.
However, Rex does not feel anything. Isn’t it appropriate for him to send these things to his future father
and mother-in-law?
If he is not afraid of Lily feeling bad, he would like to buy a house for them in the nearest future.
After everything is moved into the car, Rex asks the driver, Andy to go first. He will send her by himself.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the outsiders of J city have returned to their hometown for
the Chinese New Year. There is almost no car on the originally congested road. However, even though
it is smooth and unobstructed, Rex still drives very slowly. The speed is stable at approximately forty
miles. Thinking that they will be separated in a while, the throttle under his feet could not be stepped
on.
Lily could not stand it anymore and gives him a funny look, “Hurry up. My mom is waiting for me for
lunch.”
With this speed, she could not even arrive at 1 pm.
Rex ignores her; his eyes meet her smiling little eyes. He always has a feeling of leaving herd back to
its habitat.
“Are you that happy to go home?” He is in a bad mood, but she is very happy. Come to think about it,
the arrogant old man feels a little upset.
Lily knows that he will be alone on the Chinese New Year and does not provoke him. She chooses the
word he likes to hear, “Don’t’ be upset. Who knows that maybe you’ll have to come to my house for the
New Years in the future.”
Sure enough, the man’s complexion looks slightly better once she said it.
Lily is a little helpless. Before, she always feels that this person is moody and difficult to get along with.
In fact, after having a deeper contact, he is a person who is very easy to coax.
“Wait till I’m back and I’ll bring you some delicious food.”
“What is it?” His expression is very disdainful but he has really cherished it inside.
“Sausage, our home-made dry food, air-dried chicken, or others. Let’s see what we have and I’ll bring
you some.” Lily raises her hand and strokes his head gently. She dares not to use strength, afraid that
it will affect his driving, “Don’t be upset. I’ll try to come back earlier to accompany you.”
“Accompany me?” He snorts, “You’ll be in duty on the fifth day. Are you accompanying me or work?”
Lily does not expect that he will still remember this stubble thing. She then fumbles in a flirty manner,
“Hey, I’ll come back on the third day to accompany you, okay. Two days earlier. After my relatives leave
on the second day, I’ll clean things up and come back in the morning of the third day.”
Rex calculates the time, “Come back on the fourth day.”
Lily blinks, thinking that she has heard it wrong. He even voluntarily postpones it, very strange.
“Do you have anything to do on the third day?”
“Yes, I’m going to the island with Pehry from the first night and will stay for three days.”
Island??
Lily subconsciously thinks of the person at home, “What about Marina?”
“Fanny will take care of her. I’ve quintuple Fanny’s salary so I told her to come on the first night.”
Lily learns to raise her eyebrows from him, “You’ve taken care of it in advance and you didn’t even tell
me?”
“If I told you, can you come with me?”
Lily pouts. Well, she really cannot.
She makes a squishing sound and sighs, “Hm, it’s nice to be rich. You can go anywhere you want
during the New Year. Unlike us, as ordinary citizens, we have to bustle around tiredly every New
Year…”
The seriousness on Rex’s face is almost unconstrained. Hearing her teasing herself, he pretends for
wanting to pinch her waist, “Do you need a spanking?”
Lily’s whole person is almost plastered on the door, “No no, I’m wrong, I’m wrong.”
After a journey of talking and laughing, when the car stops at the gate of the community, it is almost
half-past twelve. Lily lifts things from the car. The driver is not there, thus, Rex is not convenient to go
upstairs. She brings up more than ten bags all by herself, just like a pothook.
“I’m going up, go home quickly.”
Rex stands still at the door of the unit, “I’ll see you up and leave.”
Seeing his persistence, Lily turns around and walks into the unit. When she has half-stepped on the
first floor, she turns around and sees that his feet are still standing at where he was.
Lily suddenly could not bear it. She goes home happily for the New Year, while he returns to his
deserted home. Now, he still has to look at her back, feeling sad alone.
No way.
She can’t bear it.
She puts the things on the floor and turns around then go downstairs to walk to him quickly. After
gazing at the man’s astonishment sight, she tiptoes and raises her head to kiss the corner of his mouth.
The ‘cup’ sound makes Rex stunned.
He rarely shows such confusion expression. Lily smiles and repeats the action just now, “Your reward.”
He finally could not help but laugh. His eyes overflow an emotion, finally, inject into her, “That’s it?”
After living together for a long time, they know what the other party wants only with a look and a tone.
After listening to him, Lily looks around, knowing that there is no one, she raises her hand and hooks
his neck.
Rex bends down in cooperation so that she will not be too strenuous. Their lip and tongue are
entangled, lingering, unwilling to leave each other, and wishing to continue something. All kinds of
emotions are turned into this simple touch. The bottom of their heart is stirred and rippled together.
At the end of the kiss, Lily’s toes are almost cramped. She then mutters with a smile, “It’s tired to kiss
you in such height.”
“It’s okay. You won’t be tired on the bed.” He rubs his nose intimately to hers and says indecently.
Lily also bites his ears. His vision falls on a middle-aged woman who is coming behind him and quickly
releases her hand, then coughs uncomfortably. After the middle-aged woman passed by, she says
again, “Go now, I’ll watch you leave and go up.”
When Rex just wants to refuse, Lily takes the first step, “Go first, otherwise, I can’t bear it.”
She stands at the door of the building with a smile; behind her is a shabby old-fashioned door. The
noon sun falls right on her body and that smile lands straight to the bottom of his heart, making people
think of the word good times.
Rex titles his head and smiles, resisting the urge of bringing the people home. He turns around and
pulls the door to get in the car.
