Chapter 418: Chapter 422: Set Off Fireworks for Her

Qiao Xi thought for a moment and said, "Why don’t we just stay at home?"

It was snowing outside, and the roads here were hard to navigate. The back-and-forth would waste a lot of time, and Qiao Xi just wanted to quietly celebrate the New Year.

"I feel the same way."

Shen Dang thus refused Qu Jiashu.

He didn’t want to leave the house either. It was better to stay home with his girlfriend and do something meaningful.

They hadn’t even made it to midnight when Shen Hongxuan and Ran Jing couldn’t hold out any longer and went off to rest.

Shen Dang pulled Qiao Xi into his embrace, thin lips pressing against hers, rolling and grinding, as his hand caressed her waist several times.

Every place he touched seemed to ignite a blaze, and Qiao Xi felt a tingling sensation spreading from her spine throughout her body.

She went limp all at once.

She sat on his lap, his hands snug around her waist, so she wouldn’t fall off.

They were still in the living room, and even though the servants had all gone home for the holidays, Qiao Xi’s body remained taut, unable to relax completely.

She pushed Shen Dang away.

"Not here..." her voice soft and tender.

A tickling itch spread across Shen Dang’s chest, as if someone had gently scratched it.

Placing her hand over his heart, Shen Dang’s thin lips grazed her jawline to her ear, murmuring in a low husky voice, "Xi Bao, I’ll set off some fireworks for you."

His breath quickened.

The lust in his eyes was almost uncontrollable.

Yet, he restrained it.

He wanted to set off a fireworks display for her, to make this New Year’s Eve memorable and regret-free.

Qiao Xi collapsed into his arms, her palm feeling his heart pounding steadily and fiercely, matching her own heartbeat.

The world around them hushed, the fireplace quietly burning, silent snowflakes falling outside the window.

This gave Qiao Xi a sense of life-or-death togetherness with him.

Qiao Xi’s eyelashes trembled lightly, "Isn’t it unnecessary? You already did it last year."

A rosy flush crept into the corners of her eyes, like a dash of blush, her eyes delicate and stirring.

Shen Dang kissed the corner of her eye.

He was hopelessly attracted to her.

Qiao Xi’s long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, tickling his jawline.

Shen Dang touched his jaw and then swept his fingers over her lashes.

Confused by his actions, Qiao Xi asked, "...What are you doing?"

His eyes twinkled with amusement, "So beautiful."

Qiao Xi: "..."

What’s beautiful?

What was he talking about?

Shen Dang chuckled softly. "Fireworks are a New Year’s essential; just wait, I’ll go get them."

As Shen Dang helped her stand up, he placed her on the ground, ready to fetch the fireworks from the storage room.

"I’ll come with you."

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, a swift flicker of a dark glint in his eyes, "You’re coming with me?"

Qiao Xi didn’t notice any change in his expression.

"Why, is there a problem?"

"Nothing. Let’s go."

Shen Dang took her hand and headed toward the storehouse.

Although there were no children in the house, Ran Jing would still have the servants prepare a lot of fireworks to store at home before the festival.

When relatives visited for the New Year, they’d set off fireworks in the estate at night.

The door to the storehouse was open, and they walked right in.

Inside, it was pitch black, not even a sliver of light came through.

Such darkness could easily make one feel insecure.

"Turn on... mmm..."

The rest of Qiao Xi’s words were lost against her lips.

Shen Dang had her wrapped in his arms, bowing his head to accommodate her, repeatedly kissing her with gentle movements.

Qiao Xi closed her eyes, the darkness amplifying her other senses.

In the quiet storehouse, she heard the subtle sound of trickling water.

It made her cheeks flush with an involuntary red.

Pressed against the wall, her back felt cool and refreshing, while her front was engulfed in warmth. The contrasting temperatures made her chest roil, her heart pounding.

Soon it would be a new year, and at this moment they held and nestled each other, keeping each other company.

The temperature seemed to climb.

During breaks in his kisses, Qiao Xi exhaled in bits and pieces, "The... fireworks... you haven’t set them off."

Clarity returned to Shen Dang’s eyes.

Yes, he still had to set off the fireworks for her.

Shen Dang reached for the wall switch.

With a "click," the storehouse suddenly filled with light.

Her clear pupils were also reflected in his eyes.

Qiao Xi’s eyes brimmed with moisture, her usually cool phoenix eyes now resembling a pair of pitiful rabbit eyes.

Just looking at him almost made him surrender to her.

Shen Dang lowered his head, nuzzling her neck, his drooping eyes and brows revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"We’ll go back to bed after the fireworks."

Was it to sleep, or did he have something else in mind?

Qiao Xi’s mixed expression didn’t expose him, she lightly patted his back and casually said, "Let’s talk after the fireworks."

Look what he’d done to her.

Luring her to the storehouse was hardly innocent.

No, that’s not right... it was her who insisted on following him. Wasn’t she willingly walking into the lion’s den?

Shen Dang led her hand towards a shelf, "Pick any."

Qiao Xi had a clear view of the whole storehouse now, with all sorts of items on the ground and the shelves.

There were fireworks of different varieties.

She pointed to several larger fireworks.

Shen Dang moved the fireworks to the doorway.

As Qiao Xi was about to leave, Shen Dang wrapped a scarf, hat, and gloves around her.

Qiao Xi looked up at his focused face, and suddenly felt a stir within her.

Indeed, a man in earnest is charming.

"All set."

Shen Dang playfully slapped her waist, took her hand, and led her to the door.

Minutes away from the New Year, Shen Dang ignited the fireworks under a snow-laden sky.

A series of "bangs" echoed.

Fireworks soared midway into the sky, exploding like flowers, casting light shards across the canvas of the night, illuminating the horizon.

Gloriously beautiful.

Qiao Xi shot a video, capturing Shen Dang’s clear-cut silhouette in the background.

Before the fireworks were over, she couldn’t wait to post the video on social media.

[Happy New Year.]

Everyone was celebrating the New Year, and her friends were flooding the social media feeds.

Qiao Xi saw the notifications on her app and was about to check them out when Shen Dang, standing under the porch, began to kiss her.

Qiao Xi tilted her head back to meet his lips.

The splendid fireworks in the sky reflected their tightly embraced silhouettes.

Shen Dang licked her lips, "Xi Bao, happy New Year."

A smile began to form on Qiao Xi’s lips, "Happy New Year."

Before she could finish smiling, she was kissed deeply by him once again.

After a few moments, Shen Dang released her, carrying her back to their room.

He seemed impatient.

Undoubtedly, it would be another heated night.

...

Xie Baola saw Qiao Xi’s post on social media. After watching the video and reading through the comments, she dropped her own wishes for a Happy New Year.

Right now, Qiao Xi was oblivious to where she was.

Her eyes only held the profound and transient image of Shen Dang.

She was too busy to respond to her friends’ blessings.

Shen Dang had no intention of letting her go.

It was as if he wanted to embed her into his being.

They were intertwined to the brink of death, indistinguishable from one another.

Meanwhile, Xie Baola had pulled her car over to the curb.

She got out of the car, the wind billowing her clothes.

She leaned against the car, tilting her head back, squinting at the lights ablaze in the tall buildings.

She took out her phone and made a call.
