Song Qingyou never cared about other people’s family matters.

Therefore, she did not ask any more questions and patiently explained to the child what ‘auntie’ meant.

“Sister, I’m sorry.” Jiang Yi knew that he had said something wrong and apologized honestly.

The child who was originally very excited suddenly became half wilted.

Song Qingyou thought about it and placed the cat carrier between the two.

The child’s attention was immediately attracted.

“Sister, you have a cat!”

“His name is Zhizhi.”

Before Song Qingyou could finish her sentence, the car suddenly stopped.

The two people in the back seat fell forward.

“What’s wrong?” Song Qingyou asked.

Through the rearview mirror, Jiang Zhihan looked at ‘himself’ who seemed to be sleeping soundly in the cat bag. He had mixed feelings, “It’s nothing.”

He just didn’t expect Song Qingyou to use him to tease a child.

Jiang Yi did not care what the two adults were thinking. He looked down at the cat and asked, “Can I touch it?”

“Sure.”

Song Qingyou opened the cat carrier and let Jiang Yi touch her.

The child finally regained his spirit, and the three of them arrived at their destination.

The mountain was already covered in a thin layer of snow. Song Qingyou opened the window slightly and felt a little cold, so she left the cat carrier in the car.

The child was not afraid of the cold and was dressed in thick clothes. As soon as the car door opened, he ran to the place where the car lights could shine.

Song Qingyou and Jiang Zhihan got out of the car at the same time.

“Didn’t you prepare the fireworks beforehand?” Song Qingyou looked around curiously.

She thought that rich people like Jiang Zhihan would set off fireworks because other people had prepared them in advance and they only needed to look up.

“It’s still in the trunk.”

Jiang Zhihan put on his gloves and closed the car door.

He unconsciously glanced at Song Qingyou from the corner of his eye.

Her fair face was slightly red from the cold. Even though the other party was wearing a hat, the cold wind still blew a small lock of her hair into the air, and her mouth occasionally exhaled white mist.

It was very cute.

When Jiang Zhihan looked down, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Then, he walked to the back of the car and took out a box from the trunk. It was as wide as an adult man’s arm. He could see that there were many things inside, and it seemed very heavy.

Jiang Zhihan also had a hard time moving it.

Jiang Yi ran back happily.

“Such a big box, and it’s filled with fireworks?” Song Qingyou was stunned.

Jiang Zhihan nodded.

“I didn’t know which one was better, so I bought them all.”

Because it was the last day of the year, many shops were closed at night, and there were not many things left in the fireworks shop.

“Didn’t Mr. Jiang set off fireworks?”

Jiang Zhihan shook his head.

Jiang Yi was dumbfounded at the side, but then he became excited. “Little Uncle, you don’t know how to set off fireworks? But Dad said that adults can…

But it doesn’t matter. 1 can teach Little Uncle how to set them off!”

The more serious the four-year-old child was, the more Song Qingyou wanted to laugh.

When Jiang Zhihan looked over, she instantly wiped the corner of her mouth, “Do you need help? I’m quite strong.”

Of course, Jiang Zhihan knew that his opponent was strong.

However-

“1’11 do it.”

Jiang Zhihan put down the box not far away.

Song Qingyou nodded clearly: “Under normal circumstances, men have stronger self-esteem.”

“What is self-esteem?”

“They just love having face.”

“What is face?” The child tilted his head.

“Jiang Yi,” Jiang Zhihan turned around and threatened, “If you don’t want to set off fireworks, we’ll go back.”

“Don’t go back!” Jiang Yi stopped asking questions and ran towards Jiang Zhihan.

Song Qingyou’s lips curved into a smile, and she silently replied in her heart, ‘He won’t let you continue to ask questions. This is because he cares about his face

Jiang Zhihan bought all kinds of fireworks. Most of them were square fireworks boxes. The only ones that Jiang Yi could play with were fairy sticks.

However, Little Jiang Yi was still very happy. He couldn’t wait to show off to Song Qingyou as soon as he lit up the fairy stick.

Song Qingyou thought she was here to see the child.

However, Jiang Zhihan handed her two as well.

“For me?” Song Qingyou was stunned.

Jiang Zhihan nodded, “Let me give you some.”

In her daze, the two fairy sticks in her hands made a sizzling sound.

Although the dazzling light disappeared in an instant, Jiang Zhihan still saw Song Qingyou’s smiling face.

It was as bright as the stars.

The next moment, Jiang Zhihan bent down and lit the fireworks in the distance.

Along with a sizzling sound, more than a dozen fireworks shot into the sky.

Sparks of various colors bloomed in the night sky.

Song Qingyou raised her head, her eyes especially bright from the fireworks.

Beside her, Little Jiang Yi was still jumping and clapping his hands.

“So beautiful! Just like the stars! Little Uncle is the best!”

The familiar scene and child’s voice made Song Qingyou dream of her childhood.

“Thank you,” she couldn’t help but smile at the man beside her.

‘Thankyou for showing me such beautiful fireworks.’

Jiang Zhihan’s expression was cold, but his voice was gentle. “As long as you don’t mind me wasting your time.”

“And-”

‘IVhaf else?¹ Song Qingyou turned to look at him.

“Happy New Year, Song Qingyou.”

Song Qingyou’s expression was a rare one.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, the phone in her pocket vibrated non-stop.

She took it out and saw that it was filled with messages from the ‘Qingyou Fans’ group, as well as Yu Muhuai’s Happy New Year message at 00:00.

The next second, another call came in.

“I’m sorry.”

Song Qingyou smiled apologetically at Jiang Zhihan and quickly said,” Happy New Year.” Then, she turned to answer the phone.

Jiang Zhihan stood there for a while before he went to the car to get a bottle of water.

When he returned, he heard Yu Muhuai’s voice.

“Are you free now? 1 have a gift for you.”

“I’m outside now.”

“Where are you? 1 can go over and look for you.”

“It might not be convenient.”

Song Qingyou had already agreed to take care of Jiang Zhihan’s child. Not only did she bring a cat, but if she also brought Yu Muhuai, it would be too much.

Yu Muhuai wanted to continue asking, but Jiang Zhihan subconsciously said, “Do you want some tea? It’s hot.”

As Song Qingyou’s cat, he knew that she loved tea.

Song Qingyou took the cup. “Thank you.”

“If it’s too hot, drink it later.”

“Alright.”

Song Qingyou took a sip of hot tea. She was so comfortable that she almost forgot that she was still on the phone with Yu Muhuai.

Fortunately, they were on the phone, so Yu Muhuai’s gloomy expression wasn’t seen.

“Qingyou, who are you with? 1 think I heard someone talking.”

The gentle tone did not change at all.

Song Qingyou hesitated for a moment before she looked at Jiang Zhihan and said, “Yes. A friend.”

She couldn’t directly say that he was her employer, as that would easily cause misunderstandings.

After explaining, Song Qingyou said goodbye and hung up.

Jiang Zhihan had been standing by the side the whole time. She thought he would casually ask about Yu Muhuai, but instead, he just put away his cup and said, “It’s too cold outside. We can’t stay too long. I’ll take you back.”

Song Qingyou nodded and pulled Jiang Yi’s hand as they walked towards the car.

Before they parted, Jiang Yi kept holding her hand.

If Jiang Zhihan hadn’t spoken, the child might have acted coquettishly and asked Song Qingyou to stay..
