"Aren't you busy tonight? Why did you come to see me?" She asked confused, "Also, why did you ask me if I fell into the sea?"
Li Jinghan's face was solemn, and his whole body exuded signs of vigilance.
"The servant came to report that you were playing at the beach and accidentally fell into the sea. Search and rescue are being carried out." He said calmly, observing the surroundings in the dark with alert eyes.
Su Jinqi asked in shock: "Which servant reported it? Isn't this a lie about military intelligence?"
Li Jinghan said: "It's best if you're fine."
In the dark corner, a flash of light flashed out, and he moved his eyebrows and put his arm around her shoulders.
Su Jinqi was thinking about this matter in her heart. It might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface. Suddenly she was held in his arms. She looked at him in surprise.
"You...there are no outsiders here, you don't have to be like this..." Su Jinqi lightly shrugged his shoulders and said to him.
Li Jinghan smiled and asked jokingly: "What about me? Isn't it natural for a husband to hug his wife? You don't like it?"
Um...it's not that I don't like it...Su Jinqi pursed her lips and said softly in her heart. Then she despised herself. How could she have such shameful thoughts?
Maybe she was nervous being held by him, or maybe the beach was deliberately teasing her, and she accidentally sprained her ankle.
"Hey!" Su Jinqi stumbled and almost knelt on the ground.
Li Jinghan helped her in time and asked with concern: "Is your foot okay?"
"No, no." Su Jinqi stood up straight and waved her hands.
"You, you can't even walk well, what do you want me to say about you?" Li Jinghan's words sounded like complaints, but they were full of doting.
After he finished speaking, he bent down and squatted in front of Su Jinqi, "Come up, I will carry you."
"Ah? What did you say?" Su Jinqi didn't believe what she saw, let alone what she heard.
"Come up quickly! I offer to carry you on my back, but you're still not happy!"
"It's not...it's just...I'm sorry..."
"Stop blabbering!" Li Jinghan was a little irritated.
Su Jinqi did not dare to refuse anymore. She slowly lay on his back and gently hugged his neck. His broad back was like a deck, carrying her forward slowly.
"Let me tell you first, you took the initiative to carry me on your back, not me to seduce you!" Su Jinqi was worried, fearing that he would misunderstand again, so she reminded him in his ear.
Li Jinghan laughed loudly, "Isn't the sprained foot intentional?"
"No!" Su Jinqi became angry and immediately wanted to go down: "Put me down. My feet are fine. I don't need you to carry me!"
Li Jinghan laughed heartily and held her legs firmly with both hands, preventing her from going down. "I'm teasing you, are you still angry?"
"Do you think what you said is something nice? You always mistakenly think that I seduce you. Is this fun?" Su Jinqi said angrily.
Li Jinghan turned his head and said, "Then, can I apologize to you?"
"Really?" Su Jinqi was surprised, "Mr. Li, do you know what you are talking about?"
If something fishy happened, there must be a monster! How could he, who is so arrogant and conceited, say the word apology so easily?
"Mr. Li, there is no one else here, and you don't have to act affectionate with me. What do you mean?" Su Jinqi still had a strange feeling.
"What do you think it means?" Li Jinghan asked calmly.
When I accidentally looked up, I saw a drone in the sky.
"I don't know." Su Jinqi said, "I'm very grateful that you have the heart to apologize. Just don't be mean to me in the future."
Li Jinghan looked away from the drone, with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Su Jinqi didn't get a response for a long time, and she didn't know what was wrong with him. She was very sensible and didn't say anything. She felt a sharp murderous aura emanating from him, filling her surroundings.
Li Jinghan carried Su Jinqi back to the small building, and the two went upstairs together. After sending her back to the room, Li Jinghan left quickly.
Su Jinqi stood on the balcony and watched him leave in a battery car in a hurry. A bad feeling arose in his heart. He looked at the night and saw the wind blowing, like before a storm came.
In the blink of an eye, a few days later, it was New Year's Eve.
Red lanterns were hung up everywhere in the garden, and it was very festive. The Li family members who were away were all back, and they gathered together to laugh and talk. The housekeeper also arranged fireworks and lion dance tonight, making it as lively as possible.
.
In the evening, the Li family gathered in the banquet hall of the main building to have a reunion dinner.
According to seniority, Su Jinqi, Li Yasi and Lin Luo sat together with the female relatives of the younger generation. The three sisters-in-law had their own thoughts, but they were friendly on their faces. Without Li Jinghan, Su Jinqi thought that she would never be able to get married.
Such a high table.
During the banquet, the girls chatted while eating. They were all very well-educated. Even Li Yasi, who usually makes a fuss at home, pretended to be a lady when she came here.
Su Jinqi ate slowly and listened to their chats indifferently. Some of them had studied abroad for a long time and were still using foreign languages when they came back, and some were still using local dialects. She was confused but found it interesting.
Halfway through the dinner, the elders were still drinking and mingling. They had all finished eating at the table. There was the sound of gongs and drums outside, and the servant came to announce that the lion dance was about to begin.
She had only seen Su Jinqi on TV, but had never seen her in person. She was immediately interested, turned around and asked Li Yasi, "Do you want to go see it?"
Li Yasi was playing with her cell phone with her head down, and sneered when she heard this: "It's like this every year, if there's anything good to see, go and see it yourself, country bumpkin!"
Su Jinqi really wanted to slap herself in the mouth, wouldn't it be nice to see it by herself?
In the open space in front of the main building, two pairs of lion dances were in progress. Their figures were rising and falling, lifelike. The children stood in front, clapping their hands happily and cheering.
Su Jinqi was also very excited to see the two pairs of lions vying for eyeballs, one retreating and the other advancing, refusing to give in. Like the children, she also cheered along.
Suddenly, there were two loud "bang bang" sounds in the sky, and bright fireworks exploded in the night sky and scattered down, making them dazzling.
"Ah! Fireworks are set off!" The children's attention was attracted by the beautiful fireworks and they ran towards that side.
Su Jinqi stood there without moving, looking up at the colorful fireworks lighting up the night sky, with gongs and drums ringing in her ears, and she felt like she was celebrating the New Year.
She walked aside, stood under the streetlight, leaned against the railing, took out her mobile phone, and called Su Jincheng. The time difference between southern China and China is only one hour.
"Sister! Happy New Year!" Su Jincheng answered the phone and greeted her with a sweet New Year greeting.
Su Jinqi asked happily: "Have you had the reunion dinner? Where is Aunt Hui?"
"I just finished eating and I was cleaning up the kitchen. Uncle Kui was happy tonight and had a few more drinks. He went back to the house and went to bed. I asked Aunt Hui to go and have a rest too. Sister, how are you doing over there?"
"Everything is fine. I just finished my meal."
"Qiqi! When will you and Uncle Han come back? I miss you so much!" Chu Yanhao's voice suddenly reached Su Jinqi's ears from the phone.
