Wealthy flash marriage: Mysterious husband doesn’t meet

Chapter 229 Happy New Year

Jiang Mo sat among a pile of apple boxes, replying to New Year messages one after another.

There are surprisingly many New Year's messages tonight. Those familiar and unfamiliar in the circle, and those who have not been exposed in the past few years, have all sent messages today.

This year, she has hit the bottom of her career, but also achieved new brilliance.

Sensitive people smelled the news that her career was relaunching, and they came to check her face to connect with her.

Jiang Mo kept pasting and sending the message "Thank you, and I wish you a happy new year and peace and prosperity".

Don't blame her for being perfunctory, she really didn't have the energy to reply one by one.

Holding the phone and hanging it down, she buried her face in her knees, feeling drowsy.

When the special reminder sound for her plastic husband sounded, she raised her head again and typed a reply to him: "I've gone back to the hotel."

"I was just taking a shower and applying fragrance, so it took a little longer~"

"I think this year's Spring Festival Gala is much better than last year's! / Smirking"

"Husband, are you looking forward to seeing me on the Spring Festival Gala? Hey, do you think grandma would be surprised if she saw me on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Wow, I feel really relaxed and comfortable today. I don't even have to eat anything. Hey, I really hope to celebrate the New Year every day."

"Your unscrupulous boss didn't let you work overtime, right? Well, he still has a conscience."

"What are your plans these days? Are you going to be in Zhoujiang?"

Gu Jichen entered the studio, the sharp corners of his coat hugging the cold late night wind.

He saw at a glance that the person who told him on WeChat that he had taken a shower, put on fragrance, and was lying comfortably on the big hotel bed watching the Spring Festival Gala was wrapped in a bloated down jacket and huddled among a pile of apple boxes. , almost impossible to find.

There were not many people in the shed anymore, only a few were clearing the tables, and the aroma of hot pot still lingered in the air.Seeing him coming, many people showed surprised expressions, but they just said hello to him.

Another message came on the phone: "I decided to treat myself to a small cake later. Hehe, at worst, I will run on the treadmill for two more hours tomorrow! /色/色/色"

After sending this message, the person lowered his arms and shrank into his down jacket.The sleeves of the down jacket shrank back due to her movements, revealing a slender wrist bone that was dazzlingly white.

Jiang Mo didn't respond until Gu Jichen walked up to her.

In the end, Jiang Mo was aroused by a familiar sweet smell.She sniffed, as if she could smell the brown sugar cookies in the bakery opposite her hometown elementary school where she grew up eating.

She looked up and was stunned for a moment. She squinted her eyes for a few seconds before realizing the person in front of her: "You..."

There was an apple box in front of her, and Gu Jichen was taking things out of several bags.There was wine, food, and even a few brown sugar cookies.

Gu Jichen probably didn't have work today, so he didn't wear a suit.Underneath the black cashmere coat was a dark gray turtleneck sweater. The sharpness and coldness of the whole person had faded away, and he looked much gentler.

After taking out all the things, he sat down on another box next to her.

"Why are you here?"

"Otherwise, where should I be?" Gu Jichen asked.

"It's New Year's Eve, shouldn't you go back to spend time with your family?"

I'm spending time with my family now, he said in his mind.

But the answer he gave was just: "I've been with you."

Alienated and cold, as if he didn't want to mention it.

Jiang Mo remembered what he had told her about his life.

He didn't like his father and his tit-for-tat brother, and there really wasn't much to do in a family like that.

"I went to Zhoujiang today when I was on a business trip. I bought some of your Zhoujiang specialties and brought them to you to try."

In fact, when he was chatting with his grandma in the afternoon, he asked her a lot about her.Grandma was also willing to talk about it. She smiled and talked about her favorite brown sugar cakes at the entrance of the elementary school, the roasted chicken legs at a stall at the intersection of the shopping mall, and the fat man's cold dish under the Drum Tower.

Gu Jichen also bought them all. Fortunately, he went there early and those stores were still open.

Sugar cookies are in short supply and have been sold out.The shop owner and his wife saw that he wanted to buy so much that they worked overtime to make another batch for him.

Gu Jichen has been keeping the brown sugar cake in the insulated box, and it is still hot.

He took out one and handed it to Jiang Mo: "Would you like some? I ate two for lunch, they were delicious."

Jiang Mo immediately took it, broke off a small piece and put it into her mouth. The sweetness of brown sugar soaked her entire taste buds.

"Mr. Gu, you are very lucky." Jiang Mo said, "This store has the best cakes in our county, and you found this store."

"Really? When I passed by, I saw a lot of people queuing in front of their store. I thought it tasted good, so I bought some to try."

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of people in his family. That store has been open since I was a child. It's still the same size now. It hasn't expanded or raised prices. It's simple and delicious."

She ate another piece and said, "When I was in elementary school, I would often go to their house to buy a cake for breakfast. Sometimes I would catch the cake that had just come out of the pan. Wow, it was so crispy that it fell into pieces. It was super delicious. It was rare. But you can’t ask for it. But sometimes I get greedy and will go 10 minutes early just to wait for a freshly baked pancake, so I...my mother always calls me a greedy cat."

When she talked about things from her childhood, her eyes brightened and her interest was aroused.

Different from the interest she pretended just now, now she is really energetic.

He even ate half of the bread in his hand without even realizing it.

"If it takes longer, the crust of this cake will become softer and not as crispy." Jiang Mo said as he peeled off a layer of crust, "But it's still delicious. Apart from my hometown, the cakes are not as delicious anywhere else." , the ones in convenience stores are still expensive, not good.”

After getting in touch with her, Gu Jichen had long discovered that she was really a nostalgic person.

I don’t know if her childhood days were pure, happy and beautiful, but she will always be extremely nostalgic for them.

She likes the small county town of Zhoujiang, the people and things there, and everything there.

Gu Jichen was also very fortunate that the things she brought back really made her feel a little warmth on this cold and silent winter night.

Gu Jichen poured her a glass of wine. She took a sip and her eyes lit up: "It tastes good! What is this?"

She looked at the wine bottle and found that it was just a transparent bottle with no label on it.

"Specially prepared, not for sale."

"Oh." Jiang Mo curled her lips, a little disappointed.

"But if you like to drink, I can give you a way to buy it."

She raised her eyebrows instantly: "Really?"

Gu Jichen looked at her and smiled slowly along with her: "Of course it's true."

"That's great, I just don't have any wine at home." Jiang Mo picked up a chopstick of cold dishes and put it in his mouth, "I want to stock up on some and put them in the wine cabinet."

The things from her hometown, with the familiar smell of her childhood, opened her closed taste buds and gave her a long-lost hunger that she had not felt for several days.

She ate two cakes, a box of cold dishes, and drank a whole bottle of wine.

After eating and drinking enough, my whole body felt warm.

She licked the corners of her lower lips with satisfaction, enjoying the aftertaste of this true "New Year's Eve dinner".

Suddenly a bell rang outside, followed by cheers one after another.

Jiang Mo looked out through a window above. There was no moon today, but a spotlight happened to shine in. The gloomy night sky was instantly lit up, as if it was dawn.

"Jiang Mo." Gu Jichen called her, "Have a happy New Year."
