Chapter 239 - CHRISTMAS (1/2)

This Christmas felt very different for everyone.

Thankfully, it wasn't snowing much outside so everyone could still go out to enjoy Christmas with their loved ones of they wished.

As people walked down the streets, they were  entertained by wonderful shows and performances— including the sight of people singing Carols on the streets.

With a smile on her face, Sara's gaze was fixed to her phone's screen. Her eyes had refused to leave the text message she had received from Muchen early that morning. It read...

'Feliz Navidad Mi Amor' 1

Which meant 'Merry Christmas My Love' in Spanish.

As she read the message for the umpteenth time with a smile plastered on her face, She suddenly heard a scream from the sitting room. ”Oh my God!!!!”

She smiled knowingly when she heard Joreen's voice. She must have seen the gift boxes she had left under the Christmas tree.

She shuffled to the sitting room to see Jianjun and Joreen with a box on their hands. There was still a box left under the tree which belonged to Aunt Cixi who wasn't around since she hadn't been able to return home last night from the city she had gone to.

”Merry Christmas People” Sara greeted again with a cheerful smile. She had placed the gifts there a few minute before Joreen woke up. Seeing Jianjun standing there also, it meant Joreen's scream must have called him out of the kitchen.

”You got these for us?” Jianjun asked in surprise.  He opened the box with his name on top of it and found a complete outfit of a shirt, trouser, shoe and wrist watch.

Joreen opened hers to find a white and black ball gown, a small brown shoe and sockings.

There was also a Christmas card on each box.

Jianjun and Joreen both looked at Sara adoringly. They hadn't expected her to do this so it was really a pleasant surprise.

Joreen was the first to approach her with a hug to thank her for the gifts.

”I'm very sorry I couldn't get you both gifts this year.” Jianjun apologized sincerely.

”It's okay dad. The restaurant had to be set up. You could always get us gifts next year”

Joreen said first after pulling away from Sara's embrace.

”It's fine. You should hurry to the store. You'll be having a lot of customers today.”

She said with a wink.

She had actually done it last night.

She didn't leave the hotel on time so with Muchen's help, they both opened an Instagram account for her. She wasn't a social media person and that was her first ever account.

She didn't wait to have thousands of followers like she had now before she left a video there to ask people to come to her father's restaurant and had promised to serve them personally.

A lot of people had reposted it, calling her humble for not denying her background and for being a filial daughter.

A lot of people had also promised to come there.

In fact, she also had tons of messages especially from guys who wanted to have her private number.

And... She also had other plans for her father.

She smirked evilly at the thought of Changyu's appearance.

Over at Muchen's house, they made plans to go visit grandmother Sun.

They had to celebrate this year's Christmas with her to make up for all the times they hadn't.

As Muchen, Minde and Heya ate breakfast, Heya noticed that something was up with Minde who had been sighing repeatedly and wasn't eating much.

”Bro... Are you okay? You don't like the food?” Heya asked.

Muchen actually had an amused expression on his face as he remembered what had happened just an hour ago.
