She did not expect Lu Yan to leave without even saying goodbye .
Lu Yan and Qiao Fei came and left like the wind . Only Qin Chu's family of four saw them there .
It was all like a dream .
20 minutes later, Huo Mian had washed off her makeup and was now heading up in her bathrobe with a glass of wine in her hand .
She had bumped into Zhixin, who came back from going to watch the fireworks .
"Sis, happy Chinese New Year…"
"Happy New Year . "

"Huh? Sis, what's the matter? Why are your eyes so red? Did someone bully you?"
"No, it's not that . "
"Are those nieces of mine not being good again and made you mad?" Zhixin asked with care .
"No . It's just that as I age, I feel and understand things so much better . I always recall those sad things in the past…"
Huo Mian made up an excuse about Lu Yan . After all, Zhixin did not know about his sister's back story .
"Oh, Sis, you really scared me there . I was scared that something bad happened . Come, let me take you out for a drink . "
Before Huo Mian said anything, Zhixin pulled Huo Mian out to the balcony . He also poured a glass of wine for himself .

It was a rare occasion…
"Sis, this is for you…" Zhixin handed over a small black box .
"What is this?" Huo Mian held the box with curiosity .
"Remember that business trip to South Africa the company sent me on a while ago? They're known for their diamonds . Well, I bought this for you . "
Huo Mian put down the wine glass and opened the box . Inside was a brooch in the shape of a plum blossom . Each petal was embroidered with a sparkling diamond .
"Oh my god! This must be really expensive . Where did you get this money?" Huo Mian was very surprised .
"It's not that expensive . It only cost like 400 thousand Yuan . Just my bonus in the latter year was over 200 thousand Yuan . Sis, don't underestimate me . "

Huo Mian was rather touched . She immediately pinned the brooch on her bathrobe .
"I really like this Chinese New Year's gift," Huo Mian said with a smile .
"Sis, thank you for all you've done for our family . I'll love you and the twins forever!"
"What about your brother-in-law then?" Huo Mian chuckled .
When she mentioned Qin Chu, the look in Zhixin's eyes changed .
"Sis, you really love my brother-in-law, right?" Zhixin asked in a serious tone .
"Of course . If I don't love him, would I have married him and had two kids with him?" Huo Mian smiled, thinking that Zhixin's question was stupid .
"What if… What if you realized my brother-in-law betrayed you one day? What would you do?" Zhixin asked .
"Betray me? I've never thought about that . Why? Did you discover that he has a mistress out there?" Huo Mian joked .
"Sis, I'm not joking . I'm being serious here…"
"Why are you asking something that's impossible?" Huo Mian said with her first instinct .
"Are you really that confident in him? I'm saying what if… What if he disappoints you? What if he was hiding something from you?" Zhixin looked at his sister with a concerned look .
"Zhixin, what did you find out?" Huo Mian's smile faded and she asked Zhixin in a serious tone .
Zhixin was not a man to worry about things for no reason so he must have discovered something to bring this up multiple times .
"Sis, there's this thing I've kept to myself for a long time but I was scared to tell you . I'm scared that it would ruin your relationship and you would be very sad after knowing…" Zhixin looked down . He was in a deep dilemma .
