At 4.30 pm.
Lu Jin Xiao brought Jing Mo Ling to the port.
"Brother Xiao, where are we going?" Jing Mo Ling asked.
"We are going to the sea."
"Sea?"
"Mm. This is our first New Year"s Eve together as a couple, so I wanted to make it memorable for both of us. Will you watch the last sunset of the year with me?" Lu Jin Xiao held out his hands as he asked Jing Mo Ling.
Jing Mo Ling"s heart skipped a beat and she immediately nodded her head, "Of course!"
Jing Mo Ling took Lu Jin Xiao"s hands and he brought her onto his yacht.
Lu Jin Xiao then drove the yacht for some time before he stopped the engine and they were in the middle of the ocean.
Lu Jin Xiao took out a bouquet of light purple and white lilacs.
"Mo Ling, although we have known each other since we were young, we only started dating recently and I don"t really know what to do. So, I can only learn from books and what other people did before, I hope you wouldn"t think that I am just brus.h.i.+ng our dates!" Lu Jin Xiao said anxiously as he gave the bouquet to Jing Mo Ling.
Jing Mo Ling"s heart skipped a beat once again and she took the bouquet happily.
"I won"t!" Jing Mo Ling quickly pecked on Lu Jin Xiao"s cheek, "You are putting in the effort to prepare for our dates, why would I think that you are brus.h.i.+ng our dates? Furthermore, I also don"t know what people do during their dates."
Lu Jin Xiao gleamed happily, and he hugged Jing Mo Ling immediately.
The sunset started at around 5 p.m. and Lu Jin Xiao hugged Jing Mo Ling from behind as they stood at the deck of the yacht while they looked at the sunset.
After the sunset, Lu Jin Xiao then brought her into the cabin, and he started to prepare their dinner while Jing Mo Ling hugged him from behind like a koala.
On the other side. At 6.30 p.m.
Jing Mo Chen told Mo Xi to dress up and brought her out.
Jing Mo Chen drove to the biggest Ferris Wheel in Country X, and he held Mo Xi"s hand when they got out of the car.
"Boss, everything is ready," Feng Rui said when he saw Jing Mo Chen.
"Mm. Thank you."
Jing Mo Chen continued to hold Mo Xi"s hand as he pulled her into one of the cabins.
Inside the Ferris Wheel, there was a table and two chairs. On the table were two plates of smoked salmon spaghetti and two gla.s.ses of champagne. The cabin was also decorated with roses of different colors.
Jing Mo Chen picked up a bouquet of roses that were placed at the side table, "Little Xi, happy birthday."
Mo Xi took the bouquet and hugged Jing Mo Chen"s waist tightly, "Thank you… Husband…"
"It is so wonderful to have you," Mo Xi smiled sweetly as her hands held onto Jing Mo Chen"s waist tightly as well.
"My life isn"t perfect without you," Jing Mo Chen said with a loving smile.
Though such words were cliché to other people, these words were their heartfelt thoughts.
They both knew that having each other was the best thing that had ever happened in their life.
Their lips gently touched as they conveyed their feelings through the kiss. They didn"t kiss for very long, but their kisses were filled with love.
Jing Mo Chen moved his lips away from her reluctantly, but their noses and foreheads were still touching each other, "Let"s eat."
"Mm," Mo Xi nodded.
Jing Mo Chen led her to her seat and pulled the chair for her gentlemanly.
They ate their dinner happily on the Ferris Wheel as it turned around slowly.
Jing Mo Chen slipped his hands around Mo Xi"s waist from behind while they looked at the city together.
The night was beautiful. Cars drove along the roads slowly and the lights of the buildings and cars shone brightly but gently. The moon hung high up in the sky and it lighted up the blue ocean.
At 8 p.m.
A ray of light, accompanied by whistling sound, shot up into the night sky. It exploded into thousands of sparks with a loud bang, and the night sky was painted with different colors and sparks. Another ray of light spiraled up before it too exploded into thousands of sparks.
Rays of light followed one after another, continuously lighting up the night sky and the city.
"Happy birthday, my little Xi," Jing Mo Chen took out a bracelet from his pocket and placed it on Mo Xi"s wrist as he said that.
Jing Mo Chen hugged Mo Xi tightly from behind again and showed her the cufflinks he was wearing, "This bracelet is a pair with my cufflinks, just like our wedding rings. My cufflinks are near my aorta and this bracelet is near your aorta. Our hearts would always be joined together."
The bracelet had the words "Chen ♡ Xi" carved on it and the cufflinks both had the words "C ♡ X" carved on them.
Mo Xi didn"t say a single word. She stared at the bracelet on her hand and the cufflinks on his hand for a while before she turned around and buried her head into Jing Mo Chen"s chest. Her shoulders were trembling a little, and he was fl.u.s.tered when he heard her sobs.
"Little Xi, what"s wrong?! Were you afraid of fireworks?!" Jing Mo Chen tried to pull Mo Xi away to look at her face.
However, Mo Xi hung onto him tightly and he was afraid of hurting her, so he didn"t dare to use too much force. He gave up on pulling her away, instead, he hugged her tightly and gently stroke her back and her hair.
"I"m sorry! I didn"t know you were afraid of fireworks!" Jing Mo Chen apologized anxiously as he tried to calm Mo Xi down.
After a while, Mo Xi"s sobs stopped. She lifted her face and hung her hands around Jing Mo Chen"s neck. Before he could react, she pulled him down and her lips crashed into his.
