When Joey opened his eyes, it was already dark.
She vaguely seemed to smell Lu Wenzhou's scent and hear his voice.
She even dreamed of kissing him.
How much did she miss her to have such a dream?
The sound of firecrackers came one after another outside the window, and colorful fireworks flew into the sky.
The smell of New Year’s Eve is getting stronger and stronger.
Her longing for Lu Wenzhou became more and more serious, so much so that there was a dense pain in her heart.
Joey couldn't help but put his hands on his belly, muttering to himself.
"Baby, after you are born safely, can we celebrate the New Year with daddy?"
When Lu Wenzhou walked over, he happened to see Joey's hazy sleepy eyes covered with mist.
The mist accumulated more and more, until it condensed into teardrops and slid down the corners of the eyes.
He slowly knelt down and gently brushed away the tears with his cold fingertips.
There was extreme distress in his voice.
"Yiyi, why are you crying? Do you miss me?"
Hearing this voice, Joey suddenly raised his eyelids, and his clear and moist eyes met Lu Wenzhou's affectionate gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat.
I couldn't help shouting hoarsely: "Lu Wenzhou."
Lu Wenzhou stroked her cheek with his big hand and said in a low voice: "Well, I'm here. I'll spend the Spring Festival with you."
Joey suddenly sat up from the sofa as if he was electrocuted.
He stared at Lu Wenzhou blankly: "When did you come?"
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she was covered with Lu Wenzhou's coat.
Was that kiss just a dream or something real?
Lu Wenzhou guessed what she was thinking from her eyes, and smiled softly: "I have been here a long time ago, and I have been cooking New Year's Eve dinner with my dad in the kitchen. What's wrong? Seeing that your face is so red, are you dreaming? Come do something shameful with me."
"No!"
Joey couldn't wait to reply.
Afraid that he might reveal some flaws, his expression instantly turned cold.
"We have broken up. Please stop calling me dad. Besides, today is New Year's Eve. You should be reunited with your family and should not be here."
Lu Wenzhou gently rubbed her head: "Grandma took the whole family on a trip and left me alone. If you send me back, I will have to celebrate the New Year alone. Don't you think it's pitiful?
My family doesn’t want me, and you don’t want me too? "
"Then why don't you come along."
"Don't you know how busy the group is at the end of the year? Now I don't have the smart and capable Secretary Qiao to help me. I have been working overtime today, and I haven't even had lunch yet. Dad feels sorry for me, so he asked me to stay and celebrate the New Year together. ”
Lu Wenzhou's trick of selling out misfortune was masterful.
Even the eyes are pitiful.
Joey couldn't help but feel soft.
Her eyelashes quivered a few times, "Let's go after dinner. I don't want others to misunderstand us and think we've reconciled. It's the Chinese New Year and I don't want anything to happen."
"Yiyi."
Lu Wenzhou took her hand and called her in a low voice: "If I promise you that I can protect you and the people around you, will you come back to me?"
Joey looked at him with clear eyes: "How to protect me, follow me 24 hours a day? Lu Wenzhou, have you ever thought about how many times I have encountered danger in the past six months?
The child died without you or me knowing about it, and I was forced by Xia Nan to participate in the group's anniversary celebration.
I was almost killed by a love potion. When I went to attend a classmate's wedding, I was almost hit by a champagne tower. When I was treating a novice, I had acid thrown at me.
My father was kidnapped and my great-grandfather was angry to death. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, all of this is related to your mother and Song Qingya.
So what if you sent me a bodyguard? I was drugged and knocked unconscious.
Lu Wenzhou, I am not an unreasonable person, but I am really afraid of these dangers.
As long as I am with you for a day, the danger will continue. In order to protect myself and my family, I can only separate from you.
Please stay away from me, okay? "
By the end of the sentence, Joey's eyes were red and his throat was clogged.
She was so determined to separate from him that she didn't even dare to tell him that she had a child. She couldn't give up halfway.
It doesn't matter if she gets hurt a little, her child is.
She was still so young and couldn't bear the trouble.
A somersault could even kill her.
She didn't dare to gamble.
Seeing her looking so frightened, Lu Wenzhou touched her head distressedly.
His voice became a little hoarse: "With Song Qingya and Lin Xue's little ability, these things cannot be done so secretly. There must be a big fish behind them. When I catch that person, you will be safe." .
Yiyi, there are some things I can't tell you now, but please believe me, you will be in more danger if you leave me. "
From Sang Mei's car accident to Qiao Sili's kidnapping case, everything was done flawlessly.
Even the police didn't find any clues.
It is enough to show how strong the anti-reconnaissance ability of the person behind him is.
What he wants is not the lives of one or two people, but even a larger conspiracy.
Joey was about to say something else when he heard Xu Yan's dissolute laughter coming from the door.
"I told you that you can't get through the phone call, but it turns out you're here to chase your wife."
Xu Yan walked in carrying a gift box, his narrow eyes twitching upward.
Showing a meaningful smile.
Lu Wenzhou gave him a cold look and said mercilessly: "It's Chinese New Year, why don't you go to your fiancée's house to pay New Year greetings? Why are you coming to my wife's house? Get out!"
Xu Yan sneered softly: "You sound so friendly, as if you really married Joey. Don't forget, you only got half of the marriage certificate. Don't be so rude like me."
"All that's needed is the official seal. I can do it with just one phone call. I just want to take my wife with me so that it's memorable."
"Then you should take Joey to get it and see if she can go with you. Your troubles are no better than mine, so don't make a fool of yourself."
The two were fighting fiercely when Han Zhiyi ran out of the kitchen.
At a glance, he saw Xu Yan, a carefree man in a gray coat.
The anger in her heart was everywhere.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
Xu Yan waved to her: "I was kicked out of the house by my grandfather. Come here to have a meal. Uncle Qiao, you won't kick me out."
Qiao Sili smiled from ear to ear when he saw so many people celebrating the New Year this year.
"How is that possible? You're a guest here. Come and help. We'll have dinner later."
"Okay, here we come."
The New Year's Eve dinner was a lively one, and none of the three men was convinced. In the end, everyone drank too much.
I stumbled outside to watch the fireworks show in the square.
When the clock struck zero, someone grabbed Joey's waist, followed by a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth.
When she reacted, Lu Wenzhou was lying on her lips, looking at her with lingering eyes.
The voice was hoarse after being drunk.
"Baby, I wish you peace and prosperity every year and everything you wish for."
As soon as he finished speaking, a warm touch fell on Joey's pink lips.
