Chapter 1822 - 1821: Christmas
The boss glanced at the money and chuckled.
The people behind were still curious.
"What’s this..."
The boss watched the two people leave hand in hand and snorted, saying, "No vision at all, can’t you see they’re not ordinary folk? You think they’re like some people who take the pearl and act like they’ve gotten a bargain, not paying you a dime? But when they’re happy, money is no issue at all; it’s just a wild pearl."
He listened, half-understanding, and after some thought, finally grasped it.
Especially when he looked at the money in the man’s hands, he knew it must have been given by those two rich people.
Their boss is indeed smart...
Ye Ning took the pearl back, finding it quite amusing.
After fiddling with it for a long time, only then did she have Mu Yeli put it away.
Many people stayed by the seaside for Christmas.
Although Christmas wasn’t a particularly special holiday, many people celebrated it like Valentine’s Day.
Ye Ning just felt more uncomfortable in the stomach, turning over in bed every night was a problem.
So she had no mind to care about either Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
Mu Yeli shared her concerns, watching over her every night.
Ye Ning would sleep, and only then would he get some rest, letting her lie on him, using his arm as a pillow. If there was even a hint of discomfort, he would immediately check on her.
After a few nights of such turmoil, Ye Ning herself felt quite embarrassed.
But Mu Yeli felt even more tenderness, gently touching her cheek, saying, "What does it matter with me? You’re the one working harder."
On this day.
Ye Ning finally got a good night’s sleep.
When she woke, she had no idea what time it was outside.
Opening the door, the sea breeze blew in.
She stood at the door, listening to Mu Ba on the side saying, "Madam, there will be fireworks over the beach tonight."
"Really?"
"Yes, lots of tourists will be coming to watch, you should come see too."
"Okay, I’ll watch tonight. Right, where’s Mu Yeli?"
"Oh, he’s gone fishing with Mr. Q."
It’s rare for them to get along so harmoniously, going fishing together.
Ye Ning shrugged and walked over to watch TV.
On TV, there were many reports about Christmas, stores packed with people,
and celebrity Christmas outings gossip.
Online, even more people shared photos of skiing and vacationing for Christmas.
Ye Ning looked around, then leaned back and fell asleep again.
In her sleep, she seemed to dream of a child, waving at her.
She beamed at the sight, wanting to see what the child looked like, but couldn’t make it out clearly.
Suddenly woken by sounds outside, she opened her eyes to find she had slept another couple of hours.
Outside, the sky had gone dark.
Many tourists were arriving, no wonder it was so crowded.
Ye Ning walked over.
People outside were gathering to watch the impending fireworks display on the beach.
Their position was quite good; they didn’t even need to step out to see the show.
It’s no surprise they chose this place for a private villa; the location is indeed prime.
Standing there leaning, watching the commotion outside, finally, the first firework was launched.
Ye Ning looked up, raised her phone, took a picture, and posted it on Pinterest.
The fireworks were breathtakingly beautiful.
Truly—
From behind, Mu Yeli quietly embraced her.
"Awake now, huh?"
Ye Ning nodded, looked at him, and said, "Awake, you’re back."
"I’m back."
"Any luck?"
"Yes." He took something out, "A gift for you."
Ye Ning paused, looked down, and saw he was placing a ring in her hand.
The ring was made from that pearl, awkwardly perched there, yet it wasn’t ugly at all.
