Chapter 340 - Happy New Year (2/2)

”Mom, how many dumplings with coin did you prepare?” Zhang Yu Ying asked with excitement.

”I'm not sure,” Liu Hui Lan said. ”Just then, we were too busy chatting and I stopped taking notice.”

Zhang Yu Ying looked at the dumplings with determination in her eyes. However, once she took a bite at a dumpling, her expression quickly changed to disappointment. She glanced at Li Qin Yao and offered the plate. ”Sister-in-law, go ahead and take another one. Let's see if you're going to be lucky again.”

Li Qin Yao glanced at her husband and took one of the dumplings. This time, she did not dare to shove the whole dumpling into her mouth and instead, bite half of it. As she was chewing half of the dumpling, Li Qin Yao peeked into the other half and suddenly burst into a laugh.

Everyone was dumbfounded by her sudden reaction, but Zhang Yu Han knew very well why she was laughing. He then took the other half of the dumpling and pulled out the coin.

Suddenly, everyone was looking at Li Qin Yao with admiration in their eyes.

To find a coin in two dumplings in a row… that was amazing!

As everyone else began to hunt for their lucky dumpling, Li Qin Yao turned to her husband and tugged at her hand. ”Zhang Yu Han, are you angry?” she whispered.

Zhang Yu Han raised a brow. ”Why would I be angry? It's fine. I'll be your lucky charm. This way, you will always stay by my side.” He then shifted his body to stare at her. ”Actually, now that I think about it, you are pretty bad with basketball.”

”What are you trying to say?” Li Qin Yao frowned. Why did he suddenly mention her terrible skill in this sport?

A chuckle escaped him. ”You said that the first time I saw you in that court was the first time you're trying to shoot a ball, right?”

”Un,” Li Qin Yao nodded.

”What if the only reason can you score that three-pointer was because this lucky charm was around?” Zhang Yu Han smiled.

Li Qin Yao suddenly thought of the time when Han Yue Xiu tried to teach her the game and she had failed miserably. It was only when Zhang Yu Han was around that she was able to shoot the ball into the hoop.

As the realization hit her, Li Qin Yao was suddenly amazed. Then, doesn't that mean that Zhang Yu Han was really her lucky charm?

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him. ”If that was true, then, I am a very lucky person to meet you.”

The family stayed around together to wait for the new year. Due to Zhang Jing's age, he went to bed earlier and left the others for the countdown.

Zhang Yu Han looked at the TV screen and saw that they have started the countdown. He glanced at the person in his embrace and chuckled upon finding her sleeping soundly.

His sister started to count along with the TV presenter and soon, a loud boom was heard outside. There was a loud cheer coming from the television and Zhang Yu Han heard his phone in his pocket started to vibrate. He had no doubt that his phone was now flooded with New Year's wishes.

Zhang Yu Han turned again when Li Qin Yao stirred in her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and blinked as she watched him.

It took Li Qin Yao a few seconds to adjust and figure out what was going on. She smiled at him and touched his cheek. ”Zhang Yu Han, Happy New Year.”

A chuckle escaped him. He was planning to say those words first, but she had beat him to it. Seeing that she was in a half-asleep state, Zhang Yu Han leaned to kiss her lips and turned to speak against her ear. ”Happy New Year.”
