CHAPTER 421: CHAPTER 421: CHRISTMAS "SURPRISE" (PART 1)

Tang Yanqi rested her head on Sheng Jianan’s shoulder, her voice soft, "Shall I sing for you?"

Before Sheng Jianan could speak, Tang Yanqi began, "With my splendid exterior and dazzling lights, I am a carousel horse in this paradise, only to fulfill the dreams of children..."

Tang Yanqi’s singing wasn’t particularly melodic, with the occasional note a bit off, yet Sheng Jianan didn’t mind, listening quietly.

"The galloping horse makes you forget the pain, in this haven of laughter; looking at their envious gazes, you don’t need to keep me in your heart..."

As she gradually reached the chorus, Sheng Jianan vaguely felt something was amiss. The girl’s gentle voice began to tremble, as if mingled with something else.

Sheng Jianan frowned, decisively reached out to straighten her up, only to see that the person who was smiling moments ago was now already in tears.

Tang Yanqi’s eyes were beautiful, very clear, like diamonds.

Yet, those very eyes were now brimming with tears, a sight that made one’s heart tighten.

Sheng Jianan reached out to cup her face, as if those falling droplets were precious jewels.

"What’s wrong?"

Tang Yanqi sniffled, both crying and laughing, burrowed into Sheng Jianan’s embrace, and nuzzled, "It’s nothing, just happy."

Crying from happiness isn’t something unusual, but what could possibly make her so happy she cries?

Moreover, her tears, no matter how you look at them, don’t seem like tears of joy.

Tang Yanqi went to the Tang Family today, and after returning, she drank and shed tears. Sheng Jianan’s gaze turned cold, what did she go through at the Tang Family?

What kind of family is that? Sons are human, and daughters aren’t?

"As a child, every year on my birthday, I would make a wish to come to an amusement park and try all the fun things, but it never came true. Later on, I just stopped wanting it, and as I grew up, I lost interest. But now, I’ve actually come, and I’m really... quite happy."

Tang Yanqi spoke softly, Sheng Jianan’s cold gaze gradually warmed, was he overthinking it? Is she truly happy?

As the young lady of the Tang Family, not being allowed to visit an amusement park, Sheng Jianan could understand. After all, in his circle, those raising daughters always strive to embody the term "lady of the house." How could such a person visit such a bustling place like an amusement park? Besides, it’s not safe.

Sheng Jianan gently patted her back, "That’s easy, if you want to come in the future, I’ll accompany you anytime."

Tang Yanqi’s tears flowed more fiercely, yet her smile grew ever more radiant. She knew she wasn’t dreaming; she’d never had a dream this beautiful. But now, it was all too unreal.

The carousel spun round and round, and only after a long time, Sheng Jianan brought her down. The aftereffects of the red wine seemed to fully kick in, Tang Yanqi’s head grew heavier, her whole body softer.

Sheng Jianan carried her back to the car; her tears had ceased, but her eyes remained bloodshot. Sheng Jianan didn’t hurry to start the car; the two remained quietly inside.

Tang Yanqi leaned on his shoulder, moved her head slightly, "Aren’t we leaving?"

Sheng Jianan turned his head, reached out to grip her chin, lowered his head, kissed her for a while, then gently released. In the dark space, the two were so close they could clearly see each other’s deep eyes.

"Tang Yanqi."

"Hmm?"

"Remember, you are my woman, Sheng Jianan’s woman."
