Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 136 I'll protect you for the rest of your life
"Xiaoyi, I will protect you here for the rest of your life."

How did you find this road later?

Jin Yanchen exchanged positions with her. He drove the car and reversed it in the direction he remembered. Fortunately, Jian Yi's car was small, so he could back it into any corner.

As soon as the car backed out of the alley, there was a knock on the window.

Jin Yanchen shook the half-cup of his cup, and before he could see who was coming, he heard a male voice saying "Ouch!"
"Isn't that Yanchen sitting here? I told you he's here, but you didn't believe me."

Another person said, "Who would dare to recognize this car? There's a Doraemon sticker on the front. Jin Yanchen, are you playing house?"

Jian Yi felt embarrassed sitting in the passenger seat. Jin Yanchen opened the car door and got out. He put his hands on the car window, leaning lazily, and raised his chin slightly towards the person who came, revealing his pride naturally.

"What are you talking about? This is my girlfriend's car."

"Oh? The rumored Miss Jane."

Zhou Ze looked past him and raised his hand towards Jian Yi who was sitting in the passenger seat. He smiled kindly and said, "Nice to meet you."

They parked the car under the South Gate. When they walked around and into the innermost alley, Jian Yi was a little surprised. Only after she walked inside did she realize what a different world meant.

There is a jade-glazed vase at the entrance. It has a retro color and the gold-painted dragonfly on the wall is the finishing touch. At just one glance, one can tell that this vase is of great value.

Further in is the lobby separated by a Chinese-style screen, painted wood and with paintings on the center, which probably means to find peace in a bustling city. In short, this place looks both worldly and elegant, which is where their group of people would come.

The stove had already been lit. Jin Yanchen took her in his arms and sat down inside. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "This is a famous restaurant that serves hot pot meat. It's not a big deal to exchange it for a hot pot meal, right?"

Jian Yi laughed and said, "Are you guys gathering here tonight to eat this on New Year's Eve?"

"What else? Why do Chinese people eat Western steak on their own holiday?" Jin Yanchen held her hand. The heat seemed to have created a layer of mist in his eyes, which lightly covered his eyes with a lingering warmth.

"This is quite lively. Let's celebrate together in addition to the New Year in the future."

A bunch of people were sitting around a stove, the place was bustling with heat. Looking around, they were all about the same age, some with families. Jian Yi didn't recognize any of them except the first person he met.

Jin Yanchen stood up and introduced her. She didn't remember a few of the long names, but she knew that they all grew up in the same compound, and tonight's party was a real family gathering.

She lowered her head and silently memorized people's names, occasionally looking up to glance at the faces they met, and was used to being serious about everything she did.

Jin Yanchen tilted his head and whispered in her ear: "Take it as a test question? If you can't remember it, then you can't remember the name. Then you can shout after me."

Jian Yi hummed softly as she took a bite of the perfectly boiled beef rolled up with sesame paste. The dense, mellow aroma of sesame wrapped around her tongue, along with the warmth.

She was still a little slow and dazed, as if time had stopped at the dead of winter when they first met. At that time, she had never dared to imagine that she would end up like this today.

Zhou Ze spoke at this time, winking and asking, "Yanchen, let's talk about feelings?"

Jin Yanchen spread his hands and said, "What's there to talk about in relationships?"

"What's so hard about talking about love? You were so arrogant back then. The old man wanted to arrange a marriage for you, but you said you didn't want to get married, which made him so angry that he kicked you with his cane. Everyone in the compound came to see you. I thought you were pretty cool at the time."

Zhou Ze tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks and asked, "Let's talk about it. How did you catch up with Miss Jian?" Jian Yi found that this group of people seemed different from the group of people she had attended parties with before. That group of people were not curious about her relationship with Jin Yanchen. They tacitly agreed to the power-for-sex transaction between her and Jin Yanchen, and they would not consider her face and deliberately ask Jin Yanchen how he caught up with her.

Jin Yanchen curled his lips and smiled: "Why, you want to ask me for experience?"

"How dare I? I'm married." Zhou Ze picked up the meat and put it into the bowl next to him. He extended his hand and introduced her to Jian Yi, "My wife, Fang Nan. She's an independent jewelry designer. If you want to get married, you can let her design your wedding rings."

Jian Yi nodded slightly, and she smiled and called out, "Hello, Mrs. Fang."

Fang Nan was a few years older than her. During their chat, they discovered that they had graduated from the same university. As the topic continued, they suddenly felt like they had known each other for a long time.

The two of them gathered together to chat, while Zhou Ze pulled Jin Yanchen aside to drink. They never smoked when there were girls around, and sometimes when they felt tired, they would reach for the mints on the plate.

Zhou Ze asked: "Where are you staying tonight?" Jin Yanchen said: "Back to the ancestral home."

"Are you planning to take her home?" Zhou Ze said mischievously, "Yanchen, you can do it. Let An Nan take sister-in-law to Longtan Park to watch the temple fair tomorrow on the first day of the new year. It's not an elegant place, but it's fresh and fun."

Jin Yanchen responded lazily. He took the car keys from the table and put them in his pocket. He asked casually, "Is it the place we went to when we were kids? I'll take her there tomorrow."

Zhou Ze pretended to be surprised: "Yanchen, haven't you been reluctant to join in the fun these years?"

"What do you know? He's a married man now, so he has to follow his wife wherever she goes, right?"

Jin Yanchen coughed softly and did not refute.

The laughter reached its highest point when these words were spoken. Jian Yi was surrounded by the hustle and bustle, and a smile appeared on her face. It was a very faint smile, but it was the most sincere one from the bottom of her heart.

After three rounds of drinks, Zhou Ze still refused to let Jin Yanchen go and insisted on getting some clues out of him.

In the end, Jin Yanchen had no choice but to lean back. He was born with a frivolous temperament, and he floated up and down in the dim light, flickering and difficult to distinguish.

Zhou Ze asked: "Tell me the truth, have you been waiting for someone in the past five years?"

Jin Yanchen said: "Yes."

"You said Gusu has great prospects and you want to move your industry there. Actually, you have selfish motives, right?"

Jin Yanchen glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said calmly, "Yes."

He is usually more romantic and frivolous than anyone else, but when it comes to talking about love, he is particularly calm and indifferent. Just like when the more than 400 train tickets were stuffed into her arms, he just said lightly, "Don't worry about it."

Jian Yi's heart completely collapsed, and the towering building fell for him alone. She looked at Jin Yanchen helplessly and moved.

Zhou Ze had one last question, which he saved until last to tease Jin Yanchen.

"My friend told me that you are auctioning a top-quality diamond at Sotheby's in Hong Kong. I guess you are going to propose to Miss Jane?"

Jin Yanchen's expression changed at this moment. He frowned slightly, and for the first time, helplessness appeared on his face, but his eyes fell lightly on Jian Yi.

"Aze, you've revealed my proposal plan."
