Chapter 745 - Xiao Qiao, We Will Be Fine (4) (2/2)

Qiao Lian frowned and said, “Is Mei Feng really that clever?”

As she said this, loud and sharp crackling sounds came from outside.

Fire crackers weren’t permitted anywhere within the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing normally.

But every year, this was the only time that it was allowed.

Her words were interrupted and they walked over to the balcony.

Outside, fireworks and firecrackers sounded everywhere.

It was colorful and vibrant.

The skies were lit with exploding colored lights that expanded into all shapes and sizes. It was beautiful.

Then, they heard the clock in the house chime. Dong! Dong!

It chimed twelve times.

At the same time, the sound of crackers intensified outside.

It was as though by appointment, the whole of Beijing blossomed all at once.

Standing on the balcony, looking at the city, it was a magnificent scene.

Qiao Lian craned her neck to watch and, as she did so, she felt Shen Liangchuan embrace her.

At once, his scent filled her nostrils.

He held her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. When he spoke, his warm breath tickled her ears.

He said, “Xiao Qiao, this is our first time beginning a new year together.”

For some reason, when she heard this, she felt a little emotional.

She nodded.

But it was because of some sort of misunderstanding that she did not understand, even now, that this moment had been delayed for eight long years.

As these thoughts came to her mind, she heard him whisper in her ear:

“Xiao Qiao, we will be fine.”
