Chapter 746 - Xiao Qiao, We Will Be Fine (5) (1/2)

They watched the fireworks on the balcony for about half an hour, until the celebrations gradually died down.

Around them, things quietened down again.

The festive atmosphere in Beijing was intense. The districts and the streets were completely decorated with Chinese knots.

Because Xia Yehua enjoyed the bustling atmosphere, the Shen family home was, too, decorated with Spring festival calligraphy characters symbolizing good fortune.

At one a.m., they both decided to go to bed.

They quickly checked on Xia Yehua to ensure she was sleeping well, and then returned to their bedroom.

Before getting into the shower, Shen Liangchuan said, “I’ll watch over Mom tonight, just in case she feels unwell.”

There were no other housekeepers around and Auntie Li herself was an elderly woman.

As she had been triggered over dinner, they feared that she might feel ill in the night.

Qiao Lian nodded and offered, “You watch over her the first half of the night, I’ll take over the next half.”

He shook his head, “No.”

After saying this, he walked into the bathroom.

Qiao Lian was still awake by the time he came out of his shower.

Now it was almost two a.m.

Shen Liangchuan walked up to her and asked, “Why aren’t you asleep already?”

“To enjoy the new year!” Qiao Lian grinned as she said this. But the truth was that she had too much on her mind and couldn’t get to sleep.

He paused for two seconds and said, “I’ll keep you company.”

Qiao Lian nodded.

They walked to a balcony near Xia Yehua’s balcony with woolen blankets draped over to keep themselves warm and watched the moon.

The sky in Beijing was thick with smog, mostly from the fireworks and the celebration’s firecrackers.

The outline of the moon was blurred.

They snuggled up to each other.
