20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3591 Liu Yanlong

Zhao Chang'an tilted his head slightly and quietly looked out the car window. The road was bustling with traffic, and the shops were crowded with people. The colorful shop signs were flashing, and there were men and women setting off fireworks and children waving shiny golden cudgels, creating a festive atmosphere.

A young girl's heart is always poetic, especially for someone like Qiao Shasha, who is a dancer with a slender and delicate figure. At her age, she already shows signs of being an exceptionally beautiful woman. She is elegant whether standing, sitting, or walking. Her heart is pure and beautiful, her self-esteem is light and passionate, she is resolute yet sensitive and fragile. Zhao Chang'an couldn't bear to shatter this crystal-clear and transparent beauty and hoped that she could get what she wanted and live a carefree and happy life.

Do not let the filth of the world taint you; stay away from those people and things, and grow and blossom beautifully and freely.

"Hmm, let's listen to some music."

Zhao Chang'an let out a soft sigh, then closed his eyes and gently held Qiao Shasha's slender waist with both hands, leaning back against the back of the car seat.

He said to Xue Yunzhu, "Let's do something a little more exciting, a bit louder, to get you focused and not distracted."

Qiao Shasha was slightly startled by Zhao Chang'an's voice. She was a little drunk and confused, so she thought that her brother Chang'an was in a similar state to her, or even worse, and had already fallen asleep.

After all, she had only drunk a third of the wine and was already dizzy; the rest was drunk by her brother Chang'an.

So he wasn't asleep after all. Didn't he sense my little movements?

However, the next moment, a knowing and confident look appeared on her beautiful face, and she smiled silently with a smug expression.

She is actually a very smart girl, especially in the dance class. The boys and girls who practice dance talk to each other and have many suitors. Some boys even fight over it, but she looks down on these immature and boring young men.

As some upbeat music started playing, the dimness inside the car, like the shadows of the sky, moon, and tree branches reflected on the ground, kept passing by.

Qiao Shasha couldn't help but sway her body gently to the rhythm of the music, humming the tune softly through her nose.

She was especially happy today. Just before her brother Chang'an came to visit in the afternoon, the whole house was filled with a cold, gloomy and dull atmosphere.

These past few days, my mother has spent her days either cooking simple noodles or sleeping in her room. On New Year's Eve, she hastily stewed some winter melon and pork ribs. Xiao Bao doesn't even dare to turn up the volume when watching TV, and I myself am filled with pent-up anger that I want to explode.

Now, my heart is at peace. With Brother Chang'an as my support and a pillar of strength for my family, the anger in my heart has long since vanished, leaving only joy and indescribable comfort.

Zhao Chang'an took a deep breath, ignoring Qiao Shasha's cheerful swaying, and closed his eyes to continue thinking.

"Giggle~"

Qiao Shasha laughed triumphantly.

"Sis, what are you laughing at?"

Sitting in front, Qiao Xiaobao asked curiously.

Aren't you happy?

After drinking, Qiao Shasha swayed to the rhythm of the music, and her originally clear and sweet voice, like that of a lark, became a little breathless.

"I'm so happy! I'm so happy today!"

Qiao Xiaobao hugged his beloved Optimus Prime tightly; tonight he wanted to sleep with Optimus Prime in his arms.

Uncle Chang'an said he'd buy him a Bumblebee next time, and then gradually buy him all of them.

This made him yearn for the future.

"That's enough, stop talking to your sister and let her sleep for a while. She's drunk so much. You can't drink outside, or you'll regret it!"

Xue Yunzhu told her son not to cause trouble and to keep him quiet so as not to affect her driving and seeing the road.

"Hehe, do you think I'm stupid? I won't drink anything if it's not Brother Chang'an, I don't touch a drop!" Qiao Shasha replied smugly.

"When I grow up, I want to drink it too. It looks delicious, but I'll only drink it if Uncle Chang'an tells me to."

Qiao Xiaobao was actually quite craving that red, fragrant, and slightly sour wine, and wanted to drink it too.

"Humph!"

Xue Yunzhu found it particularly grating. Not only was her daughter no longer home after growing up, but her son was still so young, yet they were already taking sides like this.

However, he ultimately said nothing, only letting out a heavy snort to express his displeasure.

-

Although Xue Yunzhu was confident in her ability to find her way around, she still got lost. What should have been a 20-minute drive to her neighborhood took her almost an hour to finally reach the entrance.

It was already past nine o'clock at night.

Zhao Chang'an had asked her to change the music in the car to soft instrumental music a dozen minutes earlier, because Qiao Shasha, who had been drinking, had still fallen asleep.

She also took off her down jacket, and Zhao Chang'an wrapped her thin, slender upper body in his own down jacket, gently holding Qiao Shasha's hands inside the down jacket so that she could fall asleep safely.

"Xiao Bao, don't make a sound. Your sister is asleep. Chang'an, you can carry her upstairs later."

Xue Yunzhu parked her car at the entrance of the residential area, took a pack of cigarettes, got out of the car, and went to the security room at the entrance to register her vehicle information.

Although security guards don't manage the flow of people in and out during the Spring Festival, they are still very strict about vehicle management, and outside vehicles are not allowed to enter.

Bored, Qiao Xiaobao turned around and leaned against the back of the seat, curiously watching his sister. He saw that Qiao Shasha's upper body was completely wrapped in Uncle Chang'an's down jacket, and she was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Qiao Xiaobao made a face at his sister, thinking that Uncle Chang'an was more powerful, able to subdue the Great Demon King Batianhu.

The car drove slowly through the residential area. As it turned into the building where Xue Yunzhu lived, Xue Yunzhu suddenly exclaimed in surprise under her breath, "Damn!"

His voice was filled with anger as he explained to Zhao Chang'an, "That guy surnamed Liu, he's like a persistent ghost!"

Zhao Chang'an frowned and looked ahead. He saw a man in his thirties wearing a baseball cap, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a black briefcase in one hand, standing in the car headlights at the entrance of the building where Xue Yunzhu lived.

He glanced at the car's bright lights, moved his lips, muttered something under his breath, then turned his face away and walked to the flowerbed curb to make way.

Qiao Shasha opened her eyes, her gaze initially a little confused. Zhao Chang'an gently pinched her, and she looked up at him.

"fine."

Zhao Chang'an comforted the family of three in the car, saying, "I'm here!"

-

Liu Yanlong had another argument with his wife tonight. To call it an argument was a bit of a stretch; it was more like his wife's thin lips constantly spewing out all sorts of ridicule and vicious attacks at him.

The reason was that when he came home at night, he found his wife getting ready, wearing a short skirt and black stockings, constantly fixing her face in front of the dressing table.

He knew perfectly well what his wife was going out to do, and he was furious, but he kept quiet.

However, his wife ran up to him, spun around, and asked him if it looked good, completely igniting the anger in Liu Yanlong's heart, who felt utterly betrayed.
