The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable

Chapter 1040: New Year’s Eve Together (3)

Chi Xia looked at the man walking towards her and waved her hand. ” Young Master Su, I’m going back. ”

“Wait a little longer.” Su Chen raised his arm and looked at his watch. There were still a few seconds left.

Chi Xia was puzzled and was about to speak when the sound of fireworks and firecrackers rang out all around them. The sound of firecrackers rose and fell one after another. In almost an instant, the sound of firecrackers continued.

It was already midnight!

Chi Xia never expected that she would be with him on New Year’s Eve this year.

Su Chen pulled Chi Xia into his arms amidst the loud noises around him. ” Shouldn’t you be greeting me at this time? ”

” Happy New Year, ” Chi Xia said in a daze.

” Mmm, Happy New Year, Chi Xia. Thank you for spending the New Year with me. ” As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

She was kissed again!

Chi Xia’s heart skipped a beat as a strange feeling surged in her heart, interrupting her train of thought.

He actually thanked her!

Chi Xia was stunned. She knew that Su Chen had left her lips, but she still kept her head up and stared at him blankly. His face was in the shadows, so she couldn’t see it clearly.

Vaguely, the corners of his mouth curled up, and then his deep voice sounded again,”Looks like you’ve really gotten used to kissing me. Not bad.”

Chi Xia was speechless.

She snapped back to her senses, pushed him away with a red face, and turned around to run.

However, before she could take two steps, a certain man grabbed her from behind. She turned around angrily. ” You’ve already taken advantage of me. What else do you want? ”

Su Chen looked at her with a deep gaze and a serious expression. However, the words he said almost made Chi Xia furious. ” I wanted to tell you that I didn’t deduct your daily salary for delaying work for three days. So, you have to come back to work three days earlier than usual after the New Year. ”

Chi Xia was speechless.

Su Chen said and got into the car.

Chi Xia’s face was red with anger as she stomped into the corridor.

Actually, she didn’t want to admit that she blushed because she was shy!

Su Chen sat in the car and watched Chi Xia’s figure disappear. The smile on his face deepened.

Outside the car window, the sound of firecrackers could be heard. Every house was lit up.

Although he was alone on the street, he had never felt as fulfilled as he had this year.

–

At the Li family’s villa.

The sound of the host’s countdown to the new year came from the television. Following the noise of the party, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out.

Qiao Mu was currently leaning against Li Yan and had already fallen asleep in a daze. When she heard the sound, she abruptly sat up and looked around. Then, she realized that she and Li Yan were the only ones left in the living room.

Li Yan caressed her face and whispered, “”Mu Mu, Happy New Year.”

Qiao Mu grinned and wrapped her arms around Li Yan’s neck, rubbing her head against his neck. ” Uncle, I wish you a happy new year! ”

Li Yan curled his lips into a smile. Then, he saw the little woman stretch out her hand to him happily. ” Where’s the red packet? ”

Qiao Mu only asked out of the blue. Li Yan had indeed prepared red packets for the new year, and they were all for the servants. However, she did not get a share, so she did not expect him to take out a red packet.

However, to her surprise, Li Yan took out a red packet and placed it on her palm as if he was performing magic.

Qiao Mu’s eyes widened and she couldn’t stop smiling. ” Thank you, Uncle. Let me see how many red tickets you’ve prepared for me. ”

The red packet was flat and not as thick as the one he gave to the servant. She guessed that he must not have prepared anything and gave her an empty red packet.
