Madam is a dandy, Mr. Shen loves her so much

Chapter 142 I’ll accompany you on New Year’s Eve from now on

The center of Jianghuai City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and everything is red and festive.

Although it is the Gregorian New Year, it is not as grand as the Lunar New Year, but the city center is still full of New Year's Eve excitement.

In the square of the largest pedestrian street on the riverside, a 40-meter-long dragon-shaped lantern was tied with paper.

Lights were lit at the location of the dragon's head, and the dragon's whiskers were all clearly defined. They danced with the evening breeze and became even more lifelike after the lights were lit.

Fireworks will be set off at twelve o'clock on the riverside, organized by Jianghuai officials.

We invited a fireworks display company that has participated in many large-scale events in the industry, so it was naturally very grand.

Therefore, after nightfall, many people gathered on the riverside, and most of them were couples.

It was exactly nine o'clock in the evening when Cen Xuan came out of the company.

During this period, Yinyu was also at the forefront of the storm, although he immediately proved his innocence and invited the inspection team to settle in.

But reputation has also suffered to a certain extent.

Coupled with the opening of Mine No. 7 some time ago, Cen Xuan has accumulated a lot from work during this period.

When she came out of the company, she was thinking very seriously about labor issues.

She only takes care of Yinyu and QE, and Liz and Buchan do most of the work, so she can be so tired.

Shen Jiyuan is that bitch, the Shen family's business spans the world.

Even if he is busy every day, he can still torment her at night.

"It's New Year's Eve, let's go have a drink." Liz spoke to Buchan enthusiastically.

The latter was obviously not that interested in the proposal.

"What I need right now is sleep, not alcohol."

Bu Chan refused without mercy.

Liz turned her gaze to Cen Xuan before Cen Xuan responded.

A car approaching from a distance lay in front of the three of them.

"I think you have to go drink by yourself. Ah Xuan, a newlywed, is no better than a loner like you." Bu Chan said with a smile.

Liz waved her hand very generously.

"Go, go, I'll go find Ji Zhuo."

Cen Xuan is married, and Bu Chan likes to be quiet. Fortunately, she has Ji Zhu as her food partner.

The black car door slid open automatically, and the man who got out of the car was slender, with a light gray coat draped over his shoulders, keeping him warm and very fashionable at the same time.

The man raised his eyes, his gold-rimmed glasses had a cold sheen, and there was a bit of abstinence in the ice and snow.

Liz swallowed and reached out her hand to turn Cen Xuan very seriously.

"To be honest, if this wasn't your husband, I would have violated my moral philosophy. I would definitely get him!"

Liz also wandered around in country J, a place commonly known as the melting pot of races, where there are handsome guys of all kinds of skin colors.

But it's really not as handsome as this one.

Bu Chan glanced at her lightly, "Are you moral?"

Liz didn't care about her sarcasm and had already started to be crazy about the man.

"The shoulders are wide, the waist is narrow, the legs are long, and with that face, tsk tsk tsk..." Lis said and suddenly looked at Cen Xuan, "Why don't you pounce on me?"

Cen Xuan was suddenly named.

"If you don't go yet, your legal husband will be in vain if you don't fight."

Liz's movements and expressions made her want to rush forward.

Cen Xuan and Bu Chan looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Jiyuan was waiting in front of the car. When he saw the girl running towards her, he naturally stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms.

"Why did you remember to come and pick me up today?"

Cen Xuan was wrapped in his coat and looked up at him.

The man lowered his head and kissed her face, "I'll take you to New Year's Eve."

During this period, the two of them stayed together for a relatively short period of time. Shen Jiyuan spent last night at the old house.

The old man's physical condition was not very good, so there was nothing wrong with him staying in the past.

"I'm hungry."

After listening to her words, the man took her into the car.

"Take you to dinner."

However, what Shen Jiyuan and Cen Xuan went to was not the major high-end restaurants, but the night market that opened on Yanjiang Road tonight.

In order to make the city more smoky and just in time for this New Year's Eve event, Jianghuai allows vendors with qualified food hygiene and registration to hold a three-day night market on Jiang'an Street.

Even if the weather is freezing and the temperature is freezing, it still can’t bury the enthusiasm of the approaching new year.

Shen Jiyuan took Cen Xuan's hand and walked inside through the crowd of people passing by.

The stalls sell steaming hot food, from skewers to cakes and drinks.

Although it is not as exquisite and beautiful as the ones displayed in various restaurants, everyone who comes and goes will stop.

A little more of the worldly atmosphere is what the food itself should feel like the most.

Shen Jiyuan and Cen Xuan were holding hands, just like every ordinary couple walking here.

She would stop in front of every stall she wanted to eat at and watch eagerly.

The man would take out his wallet and pay.

"Try this."

Cen Xuan took a bite and handed the stick over skillfully. The man lowered his eyes and bit off the skewered meat on the stick.

"Is it delicious?"

She leaned forward, her almond-shaped eyes full of anticipation.

After getting his approval, Cen Xuan unceremoniously stuffed the remaining things into Shen Jiyuan's hands.

"It's all for you."

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Cen Xuan who happily ran to the next stall and continued to eat the rest of her food with great resignation.

Looking at it this way, almost all the young couples nearby follow this process.

Girls like to eat a lot, but they have small stomachs and cannot eat much.

I want to taste a little of everything, but really only a little.

Basically, I take a bite and pass it to the boy next to me, and the boy seems to be used to it.

He finished the remaining food very skillfully.

Shen Jiyuan followed her, smiling softly at her figure running towards every stall.

Even though Cen Xuan, who was known as the bright young lady who grew up under the stars, she was never indulgent or willful.

Mr. Cen taught her well. He taught Cen Xuan to look at the world broadly and never limit herself to her own world.

Therefore, Cen Xuan has not only seen the extravagance and luxury in the top circles of Jianghuai, but also knows the fireworks in the market.

That's why she has been able to adapt so quickly during the past few years abroad.

Li He and several bodyguards followed not far behind to avoid looking too conspicuous in the busy city. They had all changed clothes.

Several bodyguards watched as their usually noble and cool boss ate the leftovers that he took from the landlady without any disdain.

The expressions of several people have changed countless times.

The flower of the high mountains was said to be noble and lonely, but why did it become a pet that cleans up leftovers?

The boss actually had no intention of resisting at all.

He even took out wet wipes to wipe her mouth and hands after the boss lady finished eating.

From the small vendors along this road, the proprietress really bought half of the items.

Looking at such a thin girl, how can she still eat it?

After walking all the way, Cen Xuan finally sat down in the rest area beside the river. "Let's rest for a while, I can't walk anymore."

Shen Jiyuan stood in front of her and looked at her condescendingly, "Are you full?"

Cen Xuan nodded, "I'm full."

Those allowed to enter this night market are basically Jianghuai's most famous snacks. Of course, there are also Internet celebrity foods that have appeared in conjunction with current fashion trends.

It goes without saying that the taste is delicious.

"Treat me as a trash can?"

The man said and looked at the two or three paper bags he was still holding in his hands.

Cen Xuan looked over, took out a bean paste roll and took a bite.

"No, I gave these to you because they are really delicious."

Seeing her like this, the man sighed fondly, put the things in his hands aside and sat down next to her.

"Street snacks are the most exciting. When I was abroad, I always wanted to come back and visit the night markets, but I was too busy some time ago."

Cen Xuan said, taking out a piece of chewing gum from her bag and passing one to Shen Jiyuan.

The man took her hand into his mouth.

"I heard that the Shen family seemed to be unstable in the past two days because of grandpa's condition. Shen Zhengnan united with people who hold shares in the Shen family to ask the old man to change the person in charge."

Cen Xuan was stunned when she heard the news.

No matter how dissatisfied Shen Zhengnan was in the past, he still played the role of a perfect elder, looking like he would neither fight nor grab.

But now, seeing the old man's body getting weaker and weaker, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

It would be best for the power struggle to end while the old man is still alive.

Otherwise, if the old man who currently holds 30% of the shares really dies, everything will be handed over to Shen Jiyuan.

No matter how much they try to fight for something, they will be at their wits end.

That's why the battles between wealthy families have always reached a fever pitch when the previous person in power was old and waning.

"What, are you afraid that I will fall?" Shen Jiyuan reached out and pinched her ears.

Feeling the coolness on the tips of her ears, he stretched out his hand to wrap the scarf around her.

"No, I just think you are quite tired."

Cen Xuan looked at him particularly sincerely.

With Shen Jiyuan in this position, there are so many people who are dissatisfied with him.

Except for Mr. Shen and his wife, no one in the huge Shen family wants to see Shen Jiyuan in power.

In their eyes, Shen Jiyuan was as unwelcome as an outsider.

"Then what?" Shen Jiyuan stared at her, his eyes full of seriousness.

His eyes were deep and dark, like a lake in the middle of the night, dark and swirling, and people could drown in it if they weren't careful.

She didn't say anything, just turned her head and looked into the distance.

The biting cold wind blew over the river, and lanterns of other shapes besides dragon-shaped lanterns rose up in the distance.

There are fish lanterns with smoothly swinging tails, lifelike rabbits, tigers and elk in various forms, and so on.

Supported by the skeleton below, these lanterns float in mid-air, imitating the movements of animals.

"Shen Jiyuan, where were you during New Year's Eve last year?"

Cen Xuan suddenly asked.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then began to think about it seriously.

"At the company."

Cen Xuan told him the expected answer with a smile.

"Last year I was in Times Square in Country J. There were a lot of people. My dad said he would accompany me, but the plane was delayed that day. But he and many classmates danced traditional dances to welcome the New Year. It was quite lively."

Shen Jiyuan could vaguely imagine what that scene looked like.

He is not a romantic person. New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve are not much different from working days to him.

I came out today because I overheard a conversation among employees in the company.

Cen Xuan went to Shen's twice in a row and bought afternoon tea that won the hearts of some employees.

Therefore, most of the employees like this boss lady who is beautiful, has no airs, and is gentle to others.

So on New Year's Eve, employees seemed to be very concerned about whether Cen Xuan would be with him.

Li He also reminded him that he should come over.

He said that his wife would be happy to celebrate the New Year with her husband.

Cen Xuan is not someone who likes to join in the fun, but on days like this, she definitely wants someone to accompany her.

"Let's go over there. Fireworks will be set off soon. Find a location with the best view." Cen Xuan stood up and took Shen Jiyuan's hand to the riverside.

As twelve o'clock approached, more and more people gathered on the river bank.

Cen Xuan and Shen Jiyuan did not go to a crowded place. Instead, they went to the Mid-Levels Park at the back, going against the flow of people.

"Anyway, they exploded in the sky and can be seen everywhere. There is no need to gather in crowded places to join in the fun. Let's go to a higher ground."

Cen Xuan dragged him up the steps of the park.

This mid-level park covers a large area and has many steps and viewing spots.

Along the way, you can see many couples climbing up in pairs.

After walking for a while, it was a man holding her hand and walking in front.

He carefully swept away the snow on the steps before helping her walk over.

Although he walked slowly, the man was not impatient at all, but was very serious about what he did.

The two of them chose a place with a wide view, half leaning on a big rock and staring at the river in the distance.

Shen Jiyuan unscrewed the thermos cup he was carrying and handed it to her.

"I can only stay for fifteen minutes." Shen Jiyuan said and stretched out his hand to fix her hair.

The weather is too cold and her body needs extra care during this time.

The street lights on both sides are weak, but they can still illuminate the world.

"Shen Jiyuan, the contract date is coming soon."

She said this out of the blue.

The man's hand that was arranging her hair stopped. He slowly knelt down and lowered his head to tie her loose shoelaces.

The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, sending chills down the spines of those who were cold.

The bodyguard closest to them could feel the difference in the atmosphere between the two of them, and it seemed that the gentleman's mood had changed.

Cen Xuan stretched out her hand, ignoring the man's completely cold expression, and stroked his eyebrows with her fingertips.

"I have been thinking in the past two days that if I leave Jianghuai, I can go to many places, meet all kinds of people, and see a completely different scenery. Maybe I can live a very free life."

The man Shen Jiyuan moved his fingers on her waist.

"But Shen Jiyuan, although you are good-looking, you have such a bad temper and ignore everyone. You are disgusted by others and abandoned by ghosts. You are alone during the holidays. How pitiful."

The man looked at her with a bit of confusion and disbelief in his eyes.

Cen Xuan bent down and held his face close to him.

A warm kiss fell on his forehead, as gentle as a feather falling lightly.

"But I am a kind person, so I will reluctantly accept you as my partner."

The dark night sky suddenly burst into flames, and fireworks exploded in the sky one after another, illuminating the surrounding area.

Colorful firelights formed various animal patterns in the air.

After the fire went out, everything finally calmed down.

"Shen Jiyuan, I will accompany you every New Year's Eve from now on..."
