Chapter 192

The scene with Gu Xin Hua always made the girl think of some bad consequences. Like using up a lot of BYTs... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... Damn it... In conclusion... it's best to refuse quickly. Cough cough, uh, this..." "Well, my seventh aunt's husband and my fourth aunt's cousin's son came to see me. I might spend the New Year with them." The girl made up a story with a straight face, but in reality, she was panicking. "Then what are you going to do for the New Year? Are you going to spend it alone again?" "Do you want to go back and see Grandpa?" "It's best not to drag this out for too long with this fabricated excuse. Although it's a clumsy one, it's best to pass the buck to Xia Yan and let him think about it. Hua Xin's refusal was obviously within Xia Yan's expectations. After all, how could someone's pain be healed in just a few months? But if Hua Xin agreed, he would be happy to spend the New Year with her. After all, Xia Yan himself has spent the New Year alone for so many years. Every year on New Year's Eve and the first few days of the New Year, his father's side, that is, Xia Fen's family, would go back to his grandfather's house. Xia Yan didn't want to hate Xia Fen and her mother. He had met Xia Fen's mother before, and she was a very gentle aunt. So all of this had nothing to do with them. But he didn't want to see the man who destroyed his family and abandoned him. Even though this blood father of his had expressed remorse and apology to him more than once, otherwise Xia Fen wouldn't have entrusted him with her care so easily. Xia Yan rubbed his hair, picked up the clothes beside him, and said with feigned grievance, "I will definitely go back, but it definitely can't be on New Year's Eve." "Since you've made plans, then I'll just be all alone again, waaaaaah..." "Get lost!!!" "Don't you have a girlfriend?" Stop. Her slightly angry face froze. If Hua Xin could travel back to any point in time, she probably wouldn't choose to skip getting glue on the night she became a girl, nor would she choose to reject Xia Yan's confession on New Year's Eve. Instead, she would choose to go back to the present. The words had barely left her mouth when the girl desperately wanted to shut herself up. When would she ever get rid of this habit of speaking without thinking?! She was already bringing up the most sensitive topics, and now she was deliberately steer the conversation towards someone... uh, herself. Sure enough, upon hearing the words "girlfriend," Xia Yan's ears seemed to perk up, and he said in a low voice, as if suddenly realizing something, "Oh right, I almost forgot to ask you, I want to spend the New Year with her." "She seems to be spending the New Year alone in Shanghai too..." "But wouldn't it be too abrupt to bring this up?" "Will she hate me?" Xia Yan, her previous shrimp-like demeanor gone, asked like a lovesick young girl. Sitting at the table, staring at the slightly overcooked noodles in her bowl, Hua Xin fell silent. She could almost picture Xia Yan blushing like a teapot, looking like a shy, bashful girl. "You... why don't you just ask her yourself?" Hua Xin gripped her chopsticks tightly, her appetite suddenly wilting. The noodles, still with shrimp in them, suddenly tasted bland. Who asked her how she pursued her? This strange feeling made her unable to even come up with a perfunctory answer. "But won't that be too quick...?" "She'll think I'm a frivolous man, trying to take advantage of her during the New Year." "You know that?" "? What did you say, Hua Xin?" "I said it makes sense." "She accidentally blurted out her true feelings," the girl said expressionlessly, taking a sip of soup. "What should I do then..." "You won't be spending the New Year with me, so it's a little awkward to ask her out..." "After all, it's just the two of us, and even if I don't do anything, I'm still a little afraid of what she might do." "?" "What are you afraid of, you big man?" "What can a defenseless little girl do to you?" Hua Xin suppressed her anger, wanting to punch Xia Yan, and tried her best to speak in a high-pitched voice. If she raised her voice even slightly, she would probably break down on the spot and be exposed. "Of course I have to be careful since I'm so handsome." "So, Hua Xin, you need to quickly help me think of a way to ask her to spend the New Year with me." Xia Yan chuckled, his words sounding utterly unfamiliar to the girl. Although she didn't know what had happened, Hua Xin could tell that Xia Yan would never again be the gentle and considerate handsome man she first met. After all, it was her own choice. "Sigh..." Hua Xin sighed, helplessly rubbing her nose. Making her win herself over... that was truly... incredibly difficult. "You can give her a million first, then another million, and finally tell her you have eight houses and several Maseratis. Oh, and by the way, definitely not the Maseratis from Peacekeeper Elite?" "She'll definitely agree to spend the New Year with you." A rustling sound came from the phone, clearly Xia Yan getting dressed. That should be enough to get by... "You're too vulgar, Hua Xin." "She's not that vulgar. How could money possibly move her!" "No, you're wrong. I'm just that kind of vulgar person," Hua Xin thought silently to herself. If Xia Yan gave her a million now, selling herself to him wouldn't be impossible. Okay, just kidding. Even though I'm poor, I still have my dignity! "She usually doesn't accept my transfers." "We only treat each other when we go out." "So it's because you're transferring too little." "Try transferring tens of thousands next time." "..." Xia Yan listened to the girl's suggestion and fell into deep thought. Could it be... that he really didn't give her enough money? If that didn't work, he could just give her his bank card; wouldn't that show his sincerity more? Xia Yan wasn't afraid the girl would donate his money and run away. "Isn't there a better way...?" he said helplessly. "She won't agree to that, give up." Hua Xin snorted, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes. Who told them both to be her? Want her to spend the New Year with Xia Yan? No way! She had to enjoy her long-stored feast while watching the Spring Festival Gala, where would she find the time to play any dating games with Xia Yan? He should stay home during the New Year, not think about going out with his little girlfriend to do naughty things! "I'll try it later, I'll hang up now, okay Hua, Happy New Year in advance." "You're being too early..." Before Hua Xin could finish her complaint, Xia Yan had already hung up the phone. "Trying it again?" "Trying it will kill you..." Hua Xin glared at him fiercely, then put down her phone and started furiously mashing the noodles with shrimp. If she hadn't been chatting with Xia Yan and hadn't been distracted by the time, this bowl of shrimp noodles could have been even more perfect... It's all his fault! Although she scolded him...
