Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Waiting for Him to Ring in the New Year Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Waiting for Him to Ring in the New Year Shen Zheng looked at the person sitting in his room, eating the al that was ant to be for him and scrolling through the phone with relish, and began to doubt whether this was really his sister.
Thinking about the pile of work he had left before the New Year, he had a headache.
As for Shen Yan, he couldn’t manage that much and focused on his work first, not wanting to end up miserable and alone on New Year’s Eve while everyone else was joyfully celebrating together.
Weibo really exploded with a shocking piece of gossip.
But it wasn’t about Shen Yan, it was about Mu Jinchen and Chu Jinghe.
Their couple fans went crazy earlier!
[Oh my god! The CP I ship has co true!]
[Help! Such a sweet and beautiful confession! I’m gonna die…]
[Did Mu Jinchen choose to confess to Chu Jinghe at this ti because he wants to take her ho for the New Year?]
[Absolutely, Brother Mu is so smooth!]
[Announcing they’re together directly, it’s so beautiful, so sweet!]
The couple fans were going crazy at the scene.
The solo fans of each star had dark faces.
Quite a few of them unfollowed on the spot.
[Starting today, I’m not a Hehe fan anymore, goodbye.]
[Jinchen fans don’t like Chu Jinghe, I’m out!]
[How should I put it, I always feel like the two of them are putting on a show to erase those rumors, and they’ll probably find a reason to break up after a while.]
[The analysis above makes sense. If they really liked each other, they should have co forward and admitted it openly when they were questioned.]
[Probably scared of being labeled as ‘underground lovers’ or ‘the other woman’, huh.]
[Do you guys get it? It’s a confession! Mu Jinchen confessed to Hehe, it’s not so fake romance. Are you all blind? Or illiterate? Can’t even understand the title.]
The couple fans, solo fans, and so casual fans started arguing.
Shen Yan scrolled through the comnts section of the two’s posts with interest, and in no ti, she had finished all the dishes beside her.
Only then did she rember what she had co for.
Looking up, she saw Shen Zheng with a bitter expression, buried in work, and silently finished the bowl of white rice.
The forced confession by Mu Jinchen to Chu Jinghe definitely had so ulterior motive behind it; Shen Yan could see it at first glance.
Perhaps, it was even a scene stirred up by Chu Jinghe.
After the confession, Mu Jinchen took Chu Jinghe away from the island.
Unable to witness the drama in person, everyone went online to dig up the couple’s history.
Shen Yan also joined the public in gossiping.
[I’ve always felt sothing was off between the two, look at this comparison picture, see how tenderly Mu Jinchen looks at Chu Jinghe.]
[No wonder Fake Princess was always targeting Chu Jinghe, apparently she knew sothing was going on between them all along.]
[Roll, don’t bring my Yanyan into everything.]
[Did I ntion Shen Yan? I said Fake Princess without naming nas, why are Fireworks fans so eager to jump out and claim it?]
[Crap…]
With this move by Mu Jinchen, the netizens who previously mocked them imdiately changed their tune, and the negative hot search turned into one filled with blessings.
The public image of both of them was finally stabilized!
Moreover, the incident of Chu Jinghe’s drowning in Hai City was also glossed over.
It didn’t affect her at all.

The island quieted down.
Shen Yan wandered around the island aimlessly.
Shen Zheng buried himself in overti work every day, only managing to see Shen Yan during al tis, otherwise he’d be locked in his room.
Shen Yan continued to enjoy the island as leisurely as she had before.
It’s just that there were many activities she couldn’t participate in.
Even if she was well-covered, she still stood out too much.
On New Year’s Eve.
The island residents went ho for their New Year’s Eve dinner.
There were quite a few tourists still on the island, and so of the island staff didn’t have ti off either, they still had to organize various events to stir up the festive atmosphere.
There was talk of a bonfire New Year’s Eve dinner on the island, inviting all tourists to join.
Coming out to play, everyone wanted to have fun.
As for the New Year’s Eve dinner held on the island, everyone was very enthusiastic!
As night fell, fireworks were set off at a designated spot across the island. On the ground, stars twinkled, reflecting off the shimring sea, radiating extraordinary splendor!
The festive atmosphere of New Year’s Eve was thick in the air.
Shen Yan stood at a high point and could feel it.
Liu Su ca over, “Do you want to join us?”
Shen Yan shook her head, “I’m not suited for it.”
“Go on,” Liu Su said, “With a mask on, no one will notice you.”
Seeing Shen Yan’s yearning expression, Liu Su couldn’t help but invite her to join.
Shen Yan heard the joyful laughter coming from the bonfire and looked down, “No, I won’t trouble Uncle Liu. I’ll go back and have dinner with my brother later.”
“Young Master Shen is still busy; I doubt he’ll make it for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Shen Yan looked in the direction of the fireworks and rembered the night of the New Year’s Eve.
“I’m sorry for delaying Uncle Liu’s New Year’s return.”
“My family can understand,” Liu Su, worried about Shen Yan being alone, decided to stay.
Shen Yan, hands in her pockets, looked up to enjoy the blooming fireworks.
Liu Su watched Shen Yan’s silhouette and suddenly sensed a strange loneliness about her.
“Do you want to send Mr. Qi a ssage?”
Shen Yan turned to look at him, rembering that Qi Si hadn’t sent her a single ssage since he left.
Thinking about how busy he must be, she shook her head.
Qi Si really couldn’t make it back.
There were several new ssages on her phone.
All of them were anonymous.
Every single one contained well-wishes!
Her VChat friends all brought their blessings too.
Shen Yan replied to each one.
She also posted well-wishes on VBlog, selecting so comnts to respond to.
In the Fireworks Fans group chat, Tugen One sent out several large red envelopes.
Everyone who grabbed one received a couple of hundred yuan, a total of thousands from just one envelope.
Besides Tugen One, the other rich individuals also sent out thousands or tens of thousands in red envelopes.
Liu Su went back to see what was happening with Shen Zheng. By the ti he ca back out, Shen Yan was nowhere to be seen.
No one knew where she had wandered off to.
The dock at the harbor.
Shen Yan, feeling the sea breeze, stared at the frequently bursting fireworks ahead.
Hmm.
This was indeed the best spot to watch!
Just after eleven at night, Shen Yan saw a boat approaching from the sea.
As the boat drew near,
the tall figure standing at the bow gradually beca clearer, and Shen Yan watched without blinking.
Not until that tall figure, carrying the cool night breeze, ca up to her did Shen Yan blink, “Mr. Qi…”
Qi Si’s deep eyes reflected her figure.
His suit jacket, once more, draped over her shoulders, wrapping her with his scent.
It ward her frail body!
Shen Yan tightened the loose jacket with her hands, “Thank you.”
Qi Si simply stood beside her, shoulder to shoulder, as they admired the fireworks across the way.
Shen Yan’s fingers pinched the hem of the garnt and noticed a tear. Turning her gaze to Qi Si, “Mr. Qi, are you injured?”
Her peripheral vision followed down to his waist where a visible mark was on his white shirt.
It was a bloodstain!
Shen Yan’s dark eyes narrowed slightly.
That was… the trace of a bullet graze!
“It’s a scratch,” the voice, muted by the night wind, was hoarsely deep, “Were you standing here waiting for ?”
Shen Yan’s gaze moved away from the mark, “Mr. Qi had said he’d try his best to co back.”
Qi Si’s lips, firm and cold, pursed slightly and no more words were spoken. He silently remained at Shen Yan’s side, no—it was Shen Yan who waited for him so they could ring in the New Year together.
This year, soone had accompanied him to celebrate the New Year twice!
