Big business guy wants to chase me

Chapter 1149 You Haven't Backed Me
The Chinese New Year in the countryside is very grand and lively.

On New Year's Eve, every household hangs lanterns, pastes couplets, worships ancestors, sets off fireworks, and gives lucky money to children and the elderly.

Children form a team to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings, and then they will receive a red envelope, which means auspiciousness for a thousand years.

These Uncle Miao had told them all about it, so they also went to do as the Romans did. When the children had eaten the New Year's Eve dinner and came to knock on the door wearing new clothes, they also gave the children a red envelope.

It doesn't matter how much the red envelope is, a dime or two is fine, but it is just a kind of blessing, which symbolizes the auspiciousness of children's healthy growth and learning progress in the future.

Mu Chen looked at those older brothers and sisters enviously. Although he didn't say he wanted to go with them, there was a kind of longing in his big eyes.

This village is not big, with only about a hundred families. A group of beautiful people live in Uncle Miao's villa, and two beautiful children have long been known to every household.

When the children saw Mu Chen, they kindly invited him to join their team, and told him that it was fun.

Mu Chen looked back at Shu Ran, Shu Ran patted his head, looked at these simple children, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Go!"

Mu Chen laughed happily, and was led out by an older girl.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry! We'll send the little brother back safely later!" The girl promised Shu Ran and the others in a sensible way.

"Then I'll trouble you!" Shu Ran nodded and begged the girl with a smile.

Xi Jincheng didn't say anything, just took out another red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the girl: "You and your friends will share this later."

"Thank you uncle!" The girl took it with a smile, but when she felt the thickness of the red envelope, she looked at Xi Jincheng, and quickly put the red envelope back into Xi Jincheng's hand: "Uncle, we appreciate your kindness!"

Xi Jincheng frowned, thought for a while, then opened the red envelope, took out one from the inside and handed it over: "This can be divided, okay?"

The girl hesitated, and after discussing with the other children, she took it. The children saluted Xi Jincheng unanimously: "Thank you, Uncle!"

Afterwards, she took Mu Chen to the next house.

"The children here are so simple!" Zu Linyao sighed.

"Yes!" Shu Ran nodded, although she felt a little uneasy about letting Mu Chen leave alone with strange children like this, but after all, she still thought that she should be able to trust those children.

"Are you planning to give me such a big red envelope?" Zu Qin stared at the red envelope in Xi Jincheng's hand, visually measuring the thickness, if not twenty thousand, there would be eighteen thousand!

Xi Jincheng glanced at him indifferently, and Zu Qinyao felt so humiliated that he couldn't lift his head inexplicably with his glance.

"Ahem...I'm just joking, what about it?" Touching his nose, he walked out: "I'll go out for a walk with the kids too!"

"I'll go with you." Shu Muran said, and followed the children side by side with Zu Qinyao.

"It looks so fun. I never knew that the Chinese New Year can be so lively! Ever since I was a child, I always thought that the New Year is a family reunion dinner together, and then watch the New Year, and then set off fireworks. It's over!"

Zu Linyao felt that seeing the people celebrating the New Year here, she realized that she had passed [-] holidays.

"If you knock on people's doors like this in the city and ask for red envelopes, you will probably be kicked out." Li Huihuang also smiled and nodded in agreement. It's really good to experience different customs in different places this way.

Shi Yuyan leaned against the wall next to him with his arms folded, watching the fireworks constantly rising and blooming in the distant sky, his emotions were not so high, but an indescribable sadness.

It's just that it's hidden deep, deep into the bones, and the whole body is full of alienation that people can't get close to.

Shu Ran caught it by accident, couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and secretly tugged at the corner of Xi Jincheng's clothes.

Xi Jincheng looked at her in confusion, and she raised her chin in Shi Yuyan's direction, motioning him to look.

Xi Jincheng glanced along, and shook his head at her without saying anything.

"I'll go to Uncle Miao's house. If you want to go out to watch the fun, go!" Xi Jincheng said, looking at Shu Ran and asking, "Will you go with me, or with them?"

"I'm with you." Shu Ran replied without thinking, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Shi Yuyan.

Coincidentally meeting his eyes that were as dark as a midnight, deep like a whirlpool, Shu Ran bit her lower lip, and the next second, she saw him look away, turn around and go back to the room.

Xi Jincheng had a panoramic view of this scene, and took Shu Ran out of the villa.

It is a little far away from the village, and farther away from Uncle Miao's house.

The two walked hand in hand, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the starry sky under the night was gorgeous and colorful.

Even after the early blooming years, I still like all the beautiful things after all.

Shu Ran looked up at the sky, and leaned her head on Xi Jincheng's arm. One of his hands was around her waist, so that she could watch the fireworks without any worries.

"Xi Jincheng."

"Ok?"

"You never carried me on your back." Shu Ran walked away from his arms, put her hands behind her back, stepped back, looked at him, and smiled.

Xi Jincheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

"Huh?" She tilted her head meaningfully.

Xi Jincheng closed his eyes helplessly, quickened his pace, walked around behind her, and squatted down with her back on his back.

"How can I bear the expression of being punished?" She looked at the broad back, her heart itched unbearably, but she restrained it, and did not move for a long time.

"No, you read it wrong, it's an expression of happiness and enjoyment." Xi Jincheng didn't look back at her, but could hear a faint smile in his voice.

Only then did Shu Ran lie down satisfied, and when he hugged his neck with both hands, he also supported her buttocks with both hands.

"Why do you want me to carry you so much?" Xi Jincheng stood up, whether it was hugging her or carrying her, it was effortless for him.

Even though she was three months pregnant, her weight didn't increase at all.

Inexplicably, she remembered five years ago, when she was secretly pregnant behind his back, but she looked thinner and thinner day by day, and her heart throbbed faintly.

Not so sharp, just like an old rusty knife, cutting the heart one by one, causing a dull pain in every nerve ending in the whole body.

"I think of my dad!" Shu Ran said frankly, especially when he gave the two children lucky money during dinner at night, and also gave her a big red envelope by the way.

"..." Xi Jincheng suddenly didn't know what to say, did he think of her father?
So, what he is carrying on his back now is not his wife, but his daughter?
do you mean this?
