Chapter 207
After the annual meeting, there were three days left before New Year's Eve. Ye Lihua urged her to come home, which was a custom of the Shu family. She spent every New Year's Eve at home.
Shu Tian followed Li Han to his villa to do some cleaning. They hadn't met each other's parents, so it was not proper for Shu Tian to take Li Han home. However, he had asked Zhang Bikun to prepare some festival gifts for her families in advance.
The latest electronic product was for Shu Changlei. Some quality tonics, including Cordyceps Sinensis, were for Ye Lihua. These gifts filled the trunk.
Shu Tian suddenly felt heavy at heart on the way home, "Let's take some out. You have taken so many gifts."
Li Han glanced at the gifts and shook his head, "Really? I wanted to buy two for each of them, but Zhang Bikun advised me not to do that."
Hearing his words, Shu Tian wanted to give Zhang Bikun a thumbs-up.
"I'm going home for the holiday, not for gifts. If you take so many, my mother will give them to someone else. I'm from an ordinary family, so my family members won't pay so much attention to etiquette. Otherwise, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua were not greedy for wealth, so these gifts would cause make them feel the pressure.
But Li Han thought that it was the expression of his goodwill.
If it weren't for Shu Tian, Li Han would have bought a house not far away for her parents.
After putting all the gifts in the trunk, Li Han asked Liu to leave first and got in the car to run her over himself.
As the Chinese new year approached, all the outsiders in J City had returned to their hometown. The traffic used to be heavy, but there were few cars today. Although it was all clear, Li Han drove slowly, about 40 miles an hour. Thinking that they would part soon, he didn't want to drive too fast.
Shu Tian couldn't stand it anymore, so she acted mad, "Hurry up. My mother is waiting for me for lunch."
At this speed, she couldn't get home at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Han ignored her words and was unwilling to let her go home.
"Are you so happy to go home?" He was in a bad mood, but she was happy. At the thought of this, Li Han felt uncomfortable.
Shu Tian knew that he would spend New Year's Eve alone, so she didn't provoke him. She tried to please him, "Don't be sad. Maybe you'll come to my home for the New Year in the future."
With that said, he felt comforted.
Shu Tian gave him a wry smile. She had felt that Li Han was moody and difficult to get along with before. After getting close to him, she found that he was easy to be comforted.
"I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"What?" Li Han asked with a disdainful look, but he was expecting.
"Some dry goods made by my parents, such as sausages, air-dried chicken. I'll bring you whatever I eat." Shu Tian raised her hand and gently stroked his head, trying not to distract him from his driving, "Don't be sad. I'll come back early to accompany you."
Li Han sneered, "Accompany me? You'll be back on duty on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Do you want to accompany me or your work?"
Li Han still remembered it. Shu Tian said in a tender voice, "Well, I will come back on the third day of the lunar new year after visiting my relatives on the second day. Two days in advance, OK? I will come to see you in the morning of the third day."
Li Han thought for a few moments and said, "You can come on the fourth day."
Shu Tian blinked, thinking that she had misheard. It was strange that he was willing to delay.
"Are you busy on the third day?"
"Yes, I'll go to the Island with Pei Yu at night on the first day. We'll stay there for three days."
Island?
Shu Tian thought of someone at home, "What about Jiang Chujing?"
"Nanny Li will take care of her. I will give her five times her salary. I have asked her to come over on the first day."
Shu Tian raised her eyebrows as he usually did, "You've prepared everything in advance, but you didn't tell me."
"Can you go with me if I tell you early?"
Shu Tian pursed her lips and agreed.
She heaved a sigh, "It's good to be rich. They can go wherever they want to during the New Year holiday. Ordinary people have to return home. It's tired."
When she teased Li Han, he was about to twist her waist, "What's your problem?"
Shu Tian's back was almost on the door, "No! I'm sorry!"
Along the way, they talked and laughed. They arrived at the Red Garden Community at about 12: 30 a.m. Shu Tian took the gifts out of the trunk. The driver was not there, and it was not proper for Li Han to go upstairs. She held all the bags herself.
"I'm going up. You can go back."
Li Han held his position at the door of her unit, "I don't want to go until you go upstairs."
Hearing his words, Shu Tian turned around and walked into the unit. After walking up a flight of stairs, she saw that Li Han was still there.
Shu Tian suddenly felt guilty. She went home to celebrate New Year with her family, but Li Han had to spend the festival alone. Now he gazed at her receding figure, which would make him sadder. Shu Tian stopped.
She couldn't bear it.
After putting the gifts on the steps, she walked downstairs and ran to him. On seeing his surprised look, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his mouth. Li Han was overwhelmed.
His confused expression amused Shu Tian, so she repeated what she had done, saying, "It's a reward."
He smiled jubilantly and stared at her, "That's it?"
After getting along with each other for a long time, they knew that a look or word was enough to tell everything. Hearing his question, Shu Tian looked around. Seeing that no one else was there, she put her arms around Li Han's neck and kissed him.
Li Han bent down slightly to make it easier for her. His tongue plunged between her lips, tasted her, found her tongue twined around his. He wished there was more of it. The kiss conveyed mixed feelings. Her touch sent a burst of heat straight to him.
After the kiss, Shu Tian's tiptoes were about to cramp. She pouted, smiling, "It's not easy to kiss a tall man."
"It's easy to kiss me on the bed," Li Han said in a flirtatious way, rubbing the tip of his nose against hers.
When Shu Tian whispered in his ears, she caught a glimpse of a middle-aged woman. She quickly put down her hands and pretended to cough. When the woman left, Shu Tian said, "Hurry up. You can go back. I'll go up until you leave."
Li Han was about to refuse, but Shu Tian took the lead and said, "Get in your car, or I feel guilty."
She stood at the door with a smile. Behind her was the shabby door of the old unit. It was noon. The rays of the sun made her smile more touching.
Li Han tilted his face and chuckled. Resisting the urge to take her home, Li Han opened the door and got in his car.
