1992 Proposal in progress (4)
Mu zhengbo waved his hand as he watched her hold Yin Shaojieâs hand and walk out of the living room together.
He didnât follow her out.
He heard the engine of the car in the front yard.
Then, there was the sound of a car driving away.
Mu zhengbo retracted his gaze and leaned back in his chair, looking up at the starry night sky.
He lifted his eyes and muttered to the brightest star.
âMerry Christmas, my wife.â
ââ
In the car.
Yin Shaojie gave nimo a call and hinted, â weâre going over now.
Nimo was still complaining. for your proposal, I sacrificed all my Christmas dates. Brother, let me tell you, youâre too much of a lover! Itâs at least equivalent to three favors. Remember this!â
Yin Shaojie glanced at mu Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eye, afraid that she had heard what nimo had said.
Fortunately, he was wearing a wireless headset, so his voice shouldnât be able to get out.
His voice was slightly serious as he said, â I know, I know. Get this done first. Weâll be there in about half an hour, or 20 minutes if weâre fast.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The MU family lived in the wealthy District, which was the most prosperous area in new York, so it was not far from Times Square.
However, it was Christmas and many people were out to play, so traffic was inevitable.
Nimo grumbled again before hanging up.
Mu Xiaoxiao craned her head over, her pink lips not pouting. why didnât you ask if Xiaomeng was there? Is it Chrisâs Christmas party?â
âI forgot again. Wonât we know when we get there?â Yin Shaojie said perfunctorily, his eyes looking forward.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin in her hand. if only Xiaomeng was here. We could spend Christmas together.
Yin Shaojie glanced at her in dissatisfaction. canât you spend Christmas alone with me? â
Mu Xiaoxiao smelled something. She narrowed her eyes, pointed at his nose, and said, â youâre not lying to me, are you? Thereâs no party at all. This is just an excuse you used to trick me out, right?â
Yin Shaojieâs lips curled up. With an enigmatic smile, he said, â make a guess.
Mu Xiaoxiao immediately saw through him and hit him. damn it! You liar!â
âHey, donât call me, Iâm driving. I just want to spend Christmas alone with you. Is that wrong?â Yin Shaojie wasnât lying to her. He wanted to spend some alone time with her anyway.
After the proposal, he would tell nimo to get lost and not disturb their time together.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be thinking of something, and his smile turned a little evil.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes widened, and she pointed at him and said, â what are you thinking about? Why are you laughing like that?â
âIâm not thinking about anything.â Yin Shaojie pretended as if nothing had happened.
âI clearly saw you snickering, and your smile was so ... Hmph, you must be up to something. Are you not going back tonight? Booked a hotel? Youâre really not afraid that my dad will break your third leg, are you?â Mu Xiaoxiao reminded him again.
Yin Shaojie said jokingly, â book a hotel? So you want to spend the night with me outside? then you should have said so earlier, Iâll book it now!â
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and quickly stopped him. Iâm not thinking that. Youâre the one whoâs thinking that!
âIs it written on my face?â
âItâs not written on your face, but thatâs what youâre thinking!â
The two of them continued to bicker until they finally reached their destination.
Mu Xiaoxiao got out of the car and looked around. She recognized this place. eh, why are we here? â
Yin Shaojie parked the car, went around to her side, and led her out.
âItâs the most lively here, isnât it?â
My dear, a surprise is waiting for you.
