230: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

"Huh? Wouldn't have believed what?"

Qin Yan bent her legs, rested her strawberry juice on her knees, and took sips from it every now and then.

Qiao Qing turned around. Xi Ting was no longer present.

If he was around, everyone would still be quite tense.

Earlier, when he pushed out the cake, she could clearly feel that even Han Jun froze.

So, without a doubt, the other classmates were terrified.

Even when he didn't speak, the infamous Young Master Xi had an authoritative presence which made these young students weak at their knees.

Qiao Qing whispered, "Who knew your boyfriend would be so manly!"

"Pfff…Ack ack ack."

Qin Yan almost spat out her strawberry juice. After forcing herself to swallow it, she coughed frantically.

"You make him sound like a piece of meat. Watch what you're saying!"

Qiao Qing rolled her eyes, "Yes, you're right, I should watch what I say. Mr. Xi is tall and handsome, he should not be tainted by impure thoughts. I was wrong. Please allow me to apologize, Mrs. Xi!" she said guiltily.

"Pfff…"

Qin Yan glanced at her, "I'm not Mrs. Xi yet! Be careful not to let anyone hear you!" She carefully looked around, smiling so hard that her dimples sunk into her cheeks.

"Look at you! I can even see your teeth!"

As it was getting late, all the classmates left one after another marking the end of Qin Yan's birthday.

The next morning, Qin Yan got a call from Liu Ran again regarding the building which she had brought from the auction.

He opened a file in his computer and said, "The interior designer I hired called me earlier and sent me a few designs for every floor of the building. You might want to look at them before deciding what you'd want to use in your company."

He paused, dragging the cursor to the file that the interior designer sent to him before emailing it to her, "There, I sent it in your email."

Qin Yan opened her mail and saw that he really did send it to her. Pressing it to open, Qin Yan raised an eyebrow as several pictures of designs that went along her style and taste.

A minute later, Qin Yan closed the pictures and said on the phone, "I like it! The design is in line with what I have envisioned of what my company will look like." Not only that, the designs had the personality and chic atmosphere that she really wanted her company to possess.

Liu Ran was relieved after hearing her say that, "Then, I'll tell Alicia that you liked her designs and will proceed in refurbishing the whole company and changing the wall paints."

"Alright."

In the hospital.

"Hey, it's Christmas already. How much longer are you planning to lie here?"

It had already been two months since Qin Mufeng's accident. Thanks to Qin Yan's regular treatment, the blood clot in his brain had dispersed.

However, Qin Mufeng did not look like he was waking up anytime soon. He lay on the bed peacefully like a corpse that wasn't breathing.

The doctor said he was too exhausted and didn't want to wake up.

Qin Yan pulled out a red string from her pocket which was tied into a safety knot.

She grabbed Qin Mufeng's hand and tied it around his wrist.

To replenish his nutrients, connecting a drip had become a ritual. There were bruises all over the back of his hand caused from inserting needles. Qin Yan took a glance and looked away; her hand could sense the pain.

Qin Mufeng had lost a lot of weight. In the past, he was at an average weight, but now he was just skin and bones; even his fingers were protruding. He looked so fragile that it seemed like he could easily snap in half.

The red string made him look extra pale; it was like a string of blood.

"Hey, I've only given this type of knot to you in my life," Qin Yan placed his hand under the quilt, "I don't like owing people. I'll give you a bit of my luck, so hurry up and wake up. Otherwise…I will find myself another older brother!"

Qin Yan wrinkled her nose as she grabbed her backpack and headed out of the room.

Just before she reached the door, she paused for a moment, and her soft voice echoed through the room.

"Merry Christmas."

Since it was Christmas, Qin Yan decided to spend her time with the big bun and the little bun. So she returned to the Moonlight villa.

"Darling, I'm here!" Once she got home, Qin Yan's fatigue was completely washed away.

Little Xiaobao trotted over to welcome her upon hearing her voice, even holding a glass of ice cold fruit juice in his hands.

"Darling, you're too sweet! Love you!" Qin Yan took it over and gulped it all down in one shot, before happily saying, "Come here, come here, Sister's going to take you to change into some cute clothes. We're going out to eat hotpot in a while!"

The little bun who had always run back to his room upon hearing 'going out', obediently allowed Qin Yan to lead him upstairs.

When they reached the bedroom, he allowed her to try set after set of clothes on him.

"This one's too plain, this one's too dark, this one's too boring… My goodness! Who bought these clothes for you? What kind of aesthetic sense is this! I don't even need to ask, it must be your dad! Has he forgotten that you're only 5 years old, not 35?"

Qin Yan complained as she rummaged through the closet, before finally picking up a piece that she was most satisfied with, "Wow! This one's so cute!"

It was a white short-sleeved shirt with a hoodie that had two long bunny ears and a pair of overalls to match. The overalls even had a large pocket on the front like Doraemon.

"Looking at this style, your second uncle must have bought this for you! He's pretty dependable on this front. Little kids should wear cute clothes and look a little more lively!" Qin Yan nodded in self-satisfaction before asking, "Darling, what do you think? Do you like this one? If you don't like it, Sister will find another one for you!"

Qin Yan didn't forget to seek the Little guy's opinion, though the little one would always agree with her opinion every time.

As expected, the little bun nodded without hesitation this time.

Thus, Qin Yan happily helped the little bun put on the outfit.

After helping the little bun change his clothes, Qin Yan also slipped into her room to change.

The coincidence was that she also had an outfit that was extremely similar to the little bun's. She immediately brought it out and wore it, and even matched it with denim overalls too.

The little bun's eyes lit up the moment she came out of her room.

He looked at Qin Yan, then at himself; his little face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. He even reached out to touch the bunny ears on her hoodie, extremely glad to be in the same outfit as Sister Yan.

When the two of them were done preparing, the sound of an engine revving came from the entrance.

Xi Ting had returned.

The temperature outside the room was low but not as low as Xi Ting. He seemed to have just come from Siberia. He had an icy, cold elegant expression as he strode into the living room with his slender, long legs.

When his gaze landed on the pair sitting on the sofa in matching mother-child outfits, his entire being seemed to melt like a glacier, starting from his frosty eyes…0

Little Xiaobao looked extremely cute in the outfit, and as for Qin Yan, the cute bunny ears matched with the magical age-reducing overalls made her look even younger. Sitting together with the Little guy, they looked even more like siblings.

Seeing that Xi Ting had returned, Qin Yan immediately stood up and led the Little bun over, "We're both ready, shall we leave now?"

Xi Ting nodded, and his gaze stayed on the girl's body for a long time before he finally pulled it away, "Let's go."

After getting on the car, Qin Yan excitedly asked, "Hey, hey, Xi Ting, look at our Little Xiaobao. Isn't he so cute in this outfit? I had to look for such a long time before I finally found this one outfit."

"Cute." Xi Ting replied, but he was actually looking at the girl through the rear view mirror as he said so.

Qin Yan was proud, "Right? We should buy more cute outfits for Little Xiaobao!"

"Mm." Xi Ting made a sound of agreement.

When they reached their destination, Xi Ting alighted first, before opening the car doors for the other two in a gentlemanly manner.

The three of them then headed towards the hotpot restaurant.
