Half an hour had passed once Huo Wu’s sparkler had burned out.
It was already 12:30 am.
It was getting late, and normally, she would be getting ready for bed at this time. However, Huo Wu had a feeling that she would have insomnia tonight.
And the reason for this was that she was just too happy tonight.
Although the wind in the northern part of the country was still bitterly cold, her heart was as warm as if it was spring or summer.
Not only did she regain her childhood memories tonight, Huo Yusen even voluntarily took a pretty photo of her. But what made her the happiest was the fact that Huo Yusen didn’t object to her suggestion of switching his wallpaper to her photo.
This was definitely a good sign, as it meant that she had succeeded in getting even closer to him.
Bit by bit.
She could feel the shrinking distance between Huo Yusen and her.
Huo Wu also noticed that once Huo Yusen accepted a person, his bottom line for that person could be lowered and lowered again. If it were someone other than her, Huo Yusen probably wouldn’t have agreed on changing his wallpaper. Actually, if it was someone else, that person wouldn’t even be able to get a hold of his phone.
A phone was an extremely private item as it contained much personal information. But when she asked for it, Huo Yusen gave it to her without any questions.
She would get closer and closer to him eventually. So close that even when her and Jiang Yuqin’s identities get revealed, or even when Jiang Yuqin’s hatred becomes so much so that she would want to hurt her, Huo Yusen would do his best to keep her safe.
He would definitely not let what happened to her in her past life happen to her now.
When they got to her bedroom door, Huo Wu slowed down her steps.
She didn’t want this moment to end.
She didn’t want to bid goodnight right now. All she wanted to do was to stay with Huo Yusen a bit more. Just a bit more.
But she didn’t know what to talk about.
Then, Huo Wu suddenly thought of something weird. “Big brother, I remembered that you can’t buy sparklers here, and I don’t think you can buy them online now. Where did you get so many of them?”
Huo Yusen put his hands in his pocket, and said casually, “Those were ordered exclusively.”
No wonder – these were exclusive orders.
Then he probably started preparing this New Year present a few days earlier.
Thinking about this, Huo Wu’s heart felt all warm again.
“Actually, each of the sparklers has your name printed on it,” Huo Yusen said. When he finished his sentence, Huo Wu made a confused sound.
She hurriedly turned around and ran downstairs to pick up all the sparklers that were planned to be thrown away.
Thank goodness she collected them; she was going to ask Auntie Zhang to throw them away tomorrow.
Good thing she didn’t throw them away, otherwise she would really regret it.
After picking up the sparklers, Huo Wu examined them and found out that the character “Wu” was indeed printed on the bottom of each sparkler.
That was her name.
And these sparklers were gifts uniquely made for her.
Huo Wu felt her eyes tearing up looking at this genuine gift.
How can her big brother be so good to her?
Huo Yuan also finished his phone call at the same time and saw Huo Wu with her moved face. He took out the red envelope from his pocket and said jokingly, “Your dad can’t beat your brother at this. I didn’t have the time to prepare you a unique present, so I can only give you a red envelope. Buy whatever you want and don’t worry about spending too much money.”
Huo Wu had never expected Huo Yuan to prepare her a New Year present too.
She took the red envelope from Huo Yuan with surprise.
The red envelope was thick, and she could tell that there were probably a lot of hundred dollar bills in it.
Although Huo Yuan didn’t have a lot of time to accompany his children, that was solely because of his job. Yet he would count as a good father from a different perspective.
Huo Wu lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and said genuinely, “Thank you, Dad.”
At this time, Huo Yuan’s phone rang again. There were just too many people greeting him due to the New Year. After reminding Huo Wu to sleep early, he went back to his business again.
Staring at Huo Yuan’s back, Huo Wu decided that she should treat Huo Yuan better too.
In the beginning, she had a more biased view towards Huo Yuan due to what happened in the past life. She couldn’t really get close to him because she thought that Huo Yuan was partly responsible for what happened to the original owner of this body. When Jiang Yuqin came back to the Huo family, Huo Yuan sent the owner back to the Jiang family to compensate Jiang Yuqin.
But now to think about it, Huo Yuan’s decision was pretty reasonable, since the owner was originally the child of the Jiang family.
She can’t say that Huo Yuan was wrong because of this. And she can’t just say that he didn’t treat the original owner nicely because of this.
