give me years of peace

Chapter 124 Christmas is coming
Only then did Chi Xue burst into laughter, but she was unwilling to let go of the hand holding Xin Zimo. She was afraid that once she let go, Xin Zimo would no longer belong to her.

"Mr. Xin, Miss Chi, I'm going to prepare lunch." The butler left the garden in a hurry.

She also couldn't figure out the situation between these three people. In the past few years, Xin Zimo came to London by himself, and he never saw a woman around him, let alone let a woman live in this villa.

You must know that Xin Zimo regards this villa as a treasure, and will not let irrelevant people in easily.

She always thought that Xin Zimo liked Du Anran, but looking at it today, he didn't seem to like Du Anran that much.

The butler felt that he was really old and confused, and couldn't understand the affairs between young people.She shook her head and didn't delve into it, and ran into the kitchen to cook.

Chi Xue has been clinging to Xin Zimo, letting him walk and read in the garden with her. She also took his arm and toured the entire villa.

Xin Zimo didn't refuse, but just talked and laughed with her naturally.

"Brother Zimo, the weather is really nice today. It's rare to have such nice weather in London in winter." Chi Xue said as he walked.

"The weather has been pretty good lately. It's good for your health to go out for a walk when you have time," Xin Zimo replied.

"Brother Zimo, how about going skating tomorrow? I haven't skated for a long time. I remember the last time I went skating was with my dad. It's been a few years."

"I'm not free tomorrow, let Guozi accompany you."

"I don't want Guo Zi to accompany me, can you accompany me? Just take a while, a while..." Chi Xue winked and shook Xin Zimo's arm.

"I'm really not free." Xin Zimo frowned, "There are still a few agreements to be signed."

"Okay..." Chi Xue lowered her head in frustration, "You must accompany me when you are free, and I will remember it for you first."

"Ah."

"Mr. Xin, Ms. Chi, it's time to eat." The butler had finished cooking and ran into the garden to call them to eat.

"Let's go eat!" Xin Zimo walked into the hall.

"Okay, eat!" Chi Xue followed behind Xin Zimo, smiling happily, as if she had forgotten how hot the coffee was.

"Mr. Xin, Ms. Chi, try these fruits. Old Chen bought them specially today. It's really not easy to eat some fruits in winter!" The housekeeper brought over several plates of delicately cut fruits.

The fresh fruit looks very tempting in a beautifully carved tray.

"Wow, so many! Butler, you even cut the fruit so delicately." Chi Xue smiled happily, picked up a fork and tasted a few pieces first.

"Where, where, Miss Chi won the prize." The butler was also very happy with a smile on his face.

Xin Zimo looked around, but did not see Du Anran.

He didn't ask, but the housekeeper knew how to read his face. She asked cautiously: "Mr. Xin, shall I ask Miss Du to come down for dinner?"

Xin Zimo didn't speak, but Chi Xue's face was a little ugly.

The housekeeper couldn't figure out what the two of them meant, so he went to the phone and called Du Anran's room.

After a while, the butler came back: "Mr. Xin, Miss Chi, Miss Du said that she is not hungry, so I let you eat first."

"Brother Zimo, let's eat. I'm starving to death!" Chi Xue shook Xin Zimo's arm and said coquettishly.

"Yeah." Xin Zimo ignored Du Anran, she was unhappy and naturally didn't want to come down for dinner.

"Butler, what special dish did you cook today? This is the first time I have tasted your cooking, it must be very good." Chi Xue smiled.

"Miss Chi's mouth is so sweet, I'll go and serve all the dishes right now. Try it, if you want to eat anything else, I'll do it now." The butler said enthusiastically.

"Okay, okay. Butler, please sit down and eat together. In our house, everyone used to sit and eat together. My parents are so nice!" Chi Xue spread a pair of chopsticks for the housekeeper.

"No need, I won't be too late to eat after you finish eating." The housekeeper was flattered.In fact, she usually doesn't eat in the villa, she has her own home in London, she is not used to it in the villa, on the contrary, she will be restrained.

The housekeeper went to the kitchen to serve the food, and Xin Zimo ate his meal silently, a little unwilling to eat.

The meals I usually like to eat are not so delicious today.

"Brother Zimo, you must be very busy recently. Eat more, so you can have energy to do things." Chi Xue said with concern, and has been picking up food for Xin Zimo.

"I'm not very hungry." Xin Zimo didn't accept Chi Xue's kindness very much, and ate faster.

"Brother Zimo, do you have any arrangements for the afternoon?"

"Is there something wrong?" Xin Zimo said indifferently.

"What can I do? Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

"What day?" Xin Zimo hardly remembered the day after he came to London, and there were countless troubles every day.With Sun Ping not around, he had to do many things by himself.

"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, such an important day..." Chi Xue was a little discouraged.

"Oh, then I wish you a happy Christmas Eve in advance." Xin Zimo raised his glass.

He seldom celebrates any festivals in China, except for the unavoidable festivals like the Spring Festival.He always felt that festivals were a waste of time, and besides, the surroundings were deserted, so why bother to go to lively festivals.

Chi Xue was very disappointed, but she still asked with great anticipation: "I'll come over to spend Christmas Eve with you tomorrow, and then watch the New Year's Eve and wait for Christmas. Our family always did this before, and I want to spend Christmas with you too Festival."

"That's not necessary." Xin Zimo politely refused.

"Come and try my new minced meat pie." The butler came out of the kitchen, "I just heard Miss Chi mention Christmas, and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. We make some special Christmas snacks every year. Meatloaf is something I just learned this year."

"Our family used to do it too." Chi Xue said, his face full of discomfort, "No one will spend Christmas with me anymore..."

"I'll buy you a gift tomorrow. As for Christmas, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you." Xin Zimo was afraid that she would mention the two elders of the Chi family, and he owed them a favor.

"You...Are you going to accompany her?" Chi Xue looked upstairs.

"Don't guess." Xin Zimo interrupted her.

Xin Zimo finished eating quickly. Chi Xue had only eaten half a bowl when he finished eating. He walked to the sofa and read the newspaper brought by the housekeeper.He always only read the financial page, but today he glanced at the entertainment page.

There are a lot of stories about the upcoming Christmas, where there are new programs and where there are interesting performances.Xin Zimo smiled slightly after reading it, and unexpectedly thought of Du Anran.

Seeing that Xin Zimo had finished eating, Chi Xue didn't have much appetite, so she put down the bowl and chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls.

With the housekeeper and Du Anran in the villa, Chi Xue felt very restrained, so she dragged Xin Zimo out to go shopping with her that afternoon.

Xin Zimo was very tired, but he didn't refuse this time.

Even though Du Anran locked himself in the room, he could still hear the laughter from downstairs, which was really disturbing.

She is very unhappy, she admits that she has no intention of harming others, but she doesn't seem to have enough defense against others.She thought that if she didn't look for trouble, trouble would not come to her door, but now it seems that she was wrong.

But it's okay, we can leave tomorrow.

But now that the housekeeper has locked the doors, she can't get out.She looked at her room. There was a garden outside the room and a fence outside the garden. It seemed very difficult to get out.

After hearing no sound from downstairs, Du Anran opened the door.

The housekeeper happened to be cleaning up the dishes, Du Anran looked downstairs and said, "Housekeeper, I'm going out for a while, I might not be back today."

The butler looked at Du Anran: "Miss Du, Mr. Xin ordered you not to go out just before leaving."

"What?" He really held grudges, Du Anran couldn't bear it anymore, "Then when is he going to let me out?"

"This... I don't know. Why don't you have lunch first, maybe Mr. Xin will be back soon, and you can talk to him then."

"Give me the key." Du Anran ran downstairs in a few steps.

"Miss Du, I can't give you the key. My husband will scold me for being negligent."

"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, how does he know that you gave it to me instead of me stealing it?"

"This……"

"Housekeeper, I'll be back soon, I don't bring anything, so you can rest assured!"

"Miss Du, it's better not to embarrass me. You'd better have dinner first, and we'll talk after dinner."

"I don't eat, I can't eat."

"Then there's nothing I can do to help you. Let's wait for Mr. Xin to come back!"

The housekeeper went to the kitchen, leaving Du Anran alone in the hall.

Throughout the afternoon, Du Anran played both soft and hard ways, but the housekeeper refused to give her the key no matter what.During the period, when someone came to the villa to deliver things and insisted on opening the door, the housekeeper also looked at Du Anran warily, for fear that she would slip away.

Du Anran had to say that the butler was really loyal to Xin Zimo.

Du Anran couldn't escape, so he had to call Xin Zimo.

It had been a long time since she called Xin Zimo, and Xin Zimo was surprised when he received Du Anran's call.

"I want to go out for a walk, you ask the butler to open the door."

"The housekeeper is quite competent. I will give her a bonus when I go back."

"Stop coming, I want to go out, you ask her to open the door for me!" Du Anran stood at the window of the room.

"You count from one to fifty." Xin Zimo on the other end of the phone smiled and hung up Du Anran's call.

"Hey, hello!" The other end of the phone had already been hung up, and Du Anran was so angry that he threw the phone on the bed.She thought that she would call him only when she was desperate, and she was the one who got angry in the end.

Xin Zimo put the phone on the passenger seat, stepped on the brake, and drove the car into the garage of the villa.Seeing him coming back, the housekeeper hurriedly opened the door for him, and glanced upstairs and said, "Mr. Xin, I didn't let Ms. Du go out, she is angry."

"It's okay." Xin Zimo comforted the butler, and walked upstairs with a handbag.
