My Youth Began With Him

“If I spent all the money, I’d ask you for more… Do you think you’re watching a show right now?” Lu Yan was rather agitated by Qiao Fei’s comment.

“That’s not a problem. If you marry me, all my money will be yours…” Qiao Fei could propose anywhere, anytime.

Lu Yan was astonished by his response.

*Cough* “Sis, this is my gift to them. Although Psycho Qiao big-mouthed my finances out loud, I am actually very rich… This money is just for the kids. Don’t worry. Just take it. You can use it for funding their studies abroad in the future or whatever…”

“Auntie, with your money, we could probably go study on the moon…” Pudding exclaimed.

“Yes. Take the rocket back and forth! Blast…” Little Bean even imitated the sound and action of the rocket launch.

The adults all laughed.

During dinner, Qin Chu proactively gave a toast, “Thank you two for celebrating Chinese New Year with us. Your sister is very happy today.”

“Brother-in-Law, we’re a family. There’s no need for the formality,” Lu Yan said with a smile.

“Brother-in-Law, I heard that the operation you did on me was a very difficult one. Thank you…” Qiao Fei respected Qin Chu a lot.

He grew up in the mafia. He was the king of the Russian mafia and was also one of the most powerful men in the world.

For the last few years, there was nothing Qiao Fei was afraid of. Other than Lu Yan, he respected Qin Chu the most.

If it wasn’t for Qin Chu, Qiao Fei would have been long dead.

“We’re a family. You two should eat more. You’ve come a long way…” Qin Chu had wanted to help Huo Mian find her real family and now that Lu Yan was here, he had helped her fulfill her wish.

“Yan, Qiao Fei, eat this. It’s great!” Huo Mian was very ardent to her guests and kept putting food on their plates.

She looked very happy.

It was a rare scene but the four drank seven bottles of red wine. Lu Yan drank a lot but no matter how much she drank, she would not get drunk.

Qiao Fei was from Russia and he was known for being the God of wine.

Qin Chu and Huo Mian were tipsy. After dinner, the four went out to the balcony to watch the fireworks.

The lights lit up the dark sky. Suddenly, Huo Mian felt like she was dreaming.

Qin Chu led Qiao Fei to the side so they could have their men’s’ talk.

Qin Chu knew that he would need Qiao Fei’s family’s power to defeat both Ian and Huo Siqian.

The twins and their grandparents were in another room. The twins were asking the elders for red pockets.

Huo Mian and Lu Yan were alone in the balcony. They leaned against the rails and watched the fireworks bloom in the night sky.

Suddenly, Lu Yan held Huo Mian’s hand tightly…

“Sis…” Lu Yan sounded sentimental.

“Yan, I feel like I’m dreaming right now… This all feels so obscure to me. I’ve been rather anxious the whole day today. I think about you and Dad a lot, especially during festive seasons… I would wish you two would be with me.”

“Me too… After I found out I had a sister, I tried all sorts of ways to see you. If it weren’t for Ian, Dad would have come too… It’s sad that Dad and I haven’t been together for many years during the New Year. Even when we do see each other, it’s a lot of hard work. Dad has a lot of work and he spends most of his time in the lab… I go around to see the world alone…” Lu Yan uttered slowly but clearly.

“Yan, it’s really great to see you…” Huo Mian embraced Lu Yan by her shoulders.
