Pei Yue was trembling in her heart after not having any contact for more than half a year.

She was taken to the bedroom upstairs by He Jingxi, and she begged during the struggle, "Young Master He, you said you would let me go last time..."

He Jingxi pressed her lips against hers, lowered his eyes and asked coldly, "Has the contract been signed?"

Pei Yue shivered.

At that time, she discussed with him that if he could get Mr. Gao to sign the contract, he would let her go.

But in the end, he was the one who injured Mr. Gao, and the contract matter also came to nothing.

Pei Yue's suffering was all in vain. She cursed him secretly, "Who asked you to hurt Mr. Gao? According to the trend, she could have signed the contract."

Seeing the aggrieved look on her face, He Jingxi pressed her down on the mattress, covered her and bit her ear, "Pei Yue, don't be so fucking ignorant."

What is good and what is bad, Pei Yue can't understand what he means.

She wanted to talk to him again, but when she saw the burning fire in his eyes and thought that he was the majority shareholder of the club, she suddenly felt cold.

The job that she depends on for her livelihood can be destroyed by just one word from him. She also wants to buy a house in the spring. If she loses this high-paying job, she will not be able to realize this wish.

Moreover, with He Jingxi's ability, even if she changes her job, he still has the ability to make her unemployed.

The thought of resistance in my heart was shattered before it could arise.

She was leaning there resigned to her fate. Maybe it won't be long before he gets tired of her again. Hasn't he been like this all these years? He is capricious and ruthless.

Afterwards, He Jingxi went to take a shower.

After Pei Yue waited for him to come back, she got up and went to wash herself.

I was tired when I came back, so I lay on the pillow and wanted to sleep.

He Jingxi came out of the cloakroom, changed into pajamas, lay down, and threw a box beside her.

Pei Yue opened her eyelids and took a look. It was a square, flat box that looked like it was for jewelry.

She opened it in confusion and found a round, green jade bracelet.

She has no research on jade, but she does have the ability to discern beauty. The green flowers floating on the bracelet are very green and vivid, and the background is transparent and clean, like a piece of ice.

It looked like it was worth a lot of money. When she saw He Jingxi lying down with his back to her, she asked in confusion, "Is it for me?"

He Jingxi said nothing.

Pei Yue put it on her hand in a daze. It felt a little difficult, but after putting it on, it felt just right.

Her skin is fair and slender, and the bracelet hanging on it adds a touch of classical poetic beauty.

She looked at the man's strong back and felt an unspeakable emotion in her heart.

Myanmar is rich in jade, did he bring it back to her there...

Just give it to her. When he abused her before, he would give her some sweeteners and buy clothes and bags. This time it was an jade bracelet. Pei Yue didn't refuse and just wore it to sleep.

——

The club where Pei Yue works does not take a break during the Spring Festival. In fact, many members come to the store for entertainment and they are busier than usual.

Lu Lin's vacation is very short, but there is only one week. Pei Yue has two days off on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. This year, he can only stay with him for two days.

They were both preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, but who would have thought that He Jingxi suddenly called her during the day on New Year's Eve and asked her to come out and go to his grandma's place to celebrate the New Year.

Of course, Pei Yue was not happy. She covered the receiver and asked him, "Can you let me come back after dinner? My brother is at home."

"Ask your brother to come with you."

He Jingxi's words frightened her, and she hurriedly said, "How can he go... Mr. He, please let me come back early. My brother will take the college entrance examination in the summer, and I don't want anything to happen to affect him..."

But she hung up before she finished speaking.

She came out and saw Lu Lin carefully preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. She thought to herself that this was the first few years and she was going to find excuses to trick him out again.

She sat there dejectedly, not wanting to say anything.

Lu Lin saw her unhappy expression and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Yue? Is there anything wrong with the club?"

Pei Yue gave him a guilty look and had no choice but to say, "Well... a colleague is hospitalized with gastroenteritis and wants me to take over my shift. Our club will not take a break during the Chinese New Year."

Lu Lin was disappointed for a moment, but raised a smile and said, "What time do you leave? I'll make it right now. If I have time, I'll eat it at home. If I don't, I'll pack it up and take it to the club to eat."

Pei Yue looked at him and said unbearably, "I'm eating at home, let's do it now. I'll go to the club later."

Lu Lin immediately speeded up, cut out the complex recipes and simplified them, and quickly prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.

Four dishes, one soup, and a plate of dumplings.

Pei Yue ate, thinking that by this time next year, he would have gone to another place to study at a university. I wonder what he would be like when he arrived in the world outside, and whether he would see so much prosperity that he would no longer miss it.

What about this humble little home?

Thinking about it, and blaming myself, why had I hoped that he would pass the exam quickly, take root in the big city and not come back again, but when it was time for him to leave, his heart was full of reluctance.

Now that Lu Lin is gone, she no longer has any relatives or care in this city.

——

Pei Yue finished dinner with Lu Lin at home and left.

It was very cold outside. She got into He Jingxi's car, and the warm wind made her drowsy.

He Jingxi said to her on the way, "Don't put on a bad face and go to my grandma's house to celebrate the New Year. Are you wronged?"

Pei Yue sat up straight and adjusted her expression, although it was still ugly.

He Jingxi glared at her and went to the old lady's villa.

The gift was prepared by He Jingxi. Pei Yue knew that the gift she had chosen was too shabby to handle, so she stopped getting involved in the matter.

The old lady was dressed in a festive red suit. Many relatives and friends came to the house. Pei Yue followed He Jingxi, and many people greeted her pleasantly.

Everyone thinks she is He Jingxi's girlfriend, but she actually has this illusion, is she?

Grandma called her and Wang Yuxi together and gave her the same red envelope, which seemed to be a treatment only given to girlfriends...

But then I saw He Jingxi and I woke up. It was all to make the old lady happy. If the old lady praised another girl one day, He Jingxi would immediately bring someone else over.

Pei Yue doesn't have unrealistic dreams.

The He family was lively at night, and the fireworks were all on a huge plate. He Jingxi went to order them. People who used to hate the smell of sulfur could set off the fireworks with all their heart this time.

The grand fireworks bloomed one after another, which was really spectacular. The old lady couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

This man also has merits. He is really filial to his good grandma. In order to make her happy, he even brought back a person like Pei Yue who could not reach the upper echelon of society.

Pei Yue was sitting on the railing alone watching the fireworks. At some point, He Jingxi came to stand next to her.

She was not in a bad mood, so she said to him, "Happy New Year."

He Jingxi said nothing, and lit a small firework stick in his hand, which burned with dancing fire points, like shining stars.

The fireworks illuminated his face, which was handsome and flamboyant. It was rare tonight. He was not so cold and stern, but seemed gentle and casual.

He stuffed two sticks into Pei Yue's hand, and Pei Yue was waving the fireworks stick. He was behind him, hugging her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, watching the lights in her hand flicker.

The new year is coming, this is the fourth year since they met.
