Chapter 197: "New Year's Money"
Qiao Ruoqing hung her head, feeling both moved and embarrassed.
It was already very disturbing for her to come to someone's house for the New Year, and now they specially wrapped her in red envelopes.
Originally, these two red envelopes had already made Qiao Ruoqing a little incompetent to accept, but she didn't expect to receive a third red envelope next.
It was given to her by Huo Jingyuan, it looked quite thin, Qiao Ruoqing thought that he might have given it because he saw that the elders had given it, so he gave an empty red envelope to save face, so as not to be embarrassed.
Thinking that he didn't prepare a New Year's gift for the other party, he didn't think much about Huo Jingyuan's approach, and naturally took the red envelope.
But when she held the red envelope in her hand, she felt that something was wrong.
It's not empty, it's ...... Hard and thin.
Vaguely feeling that something was wrong, Qiao Ruoqing secretly opened the red envelope under the table and looked at it, and it was ...... A piece of black. Card.
Qiao Ruoqing's whole body was petrified.
This is...... What's the situation? Even if Huo Jingyuan hated her for not preparing a New Year's gift for him and wanted to slap her in the face, then he didn't have to be so open-minded, right?
She looked up at the man sitting next to her, only to see that the man was also looking at her.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
What...... It's not funny at all, is it?
Because Qiao Ruoqing put the red envelope below and opened it quietly, there was a table blocking it, so except for Huo Jingyuan, who was sitting next to her, no one else could see the movement in her hand, but found that she was stunned.
Touching Qiao Ruoqing's arm, Tang Lan asked, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak? ”
Xu Wen next to her joked: "The red envelopes given by Mr. and Mrs. must be too big, Miss Qiao is embarrassed!" ”
As she spoke, she didn't forget to glance at Huo Jingyuan, "Or maybe the young master's red envelope is too small compared to his wife, after all, it's so thin!" ”
Huo Jingyuan looked at Xu Wen and didn't speak, but Qiao Ruoqing's heart was roaring: What small?! It's not small at all, is it?! Is it really good for you to give me such a great card casually?! Huo Jingyuan, what are you playing? Take this for me as New Year's money?!
But of course, she can't say that, especially now.
She still doesn't know what the situation is: this card can't be applied for, and she doesn't have the capital to let Jia Express send an invitation to her, even if it is really issued, it will be issued to her, it can't be for Huo Jingyuan - so this card is Huo Jingyuan's undoubtedly!
But how could a normal person casually give such a credit card to someone else as a New Year's gift?
She had to take it slowly, she had to take it slowly, sort out her thoughts, and think about what was going on.
Feeling that her arm was touched again, Qiao Ruoqing came back to her senses, her eyes flickered a little, "I'm fine, Aunt Tang......"
This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qiao Ruoqing did not feel at ease at all, her head has been buzzing and thinking, as if she heard who seemed to have eaten the dumpling with coins, she also followed up with two words of blessing, but what was said, even she herself does not remember.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Huo Jingyuan originally wanted to accompany Huo Jiang and Tang Lan to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and also pulled Qiao Ruoqing together.
Originally, I asked Qiao Ruoqing to come to the house for the New Year because I didn't want her to be too lonely, so at this time, he thought it should be together.
But Qiao Ruoqing had no plans to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and even when Huo Jingyuan came to call her, she called Huo Jingyuan to her room.
Huo Jingyuan didn't quite understand what the situation was.
He knew that Qiao Ruoqing didn't want to start now, so he hadn't been to her room except for taking her to her room with Tang Lan yesterday.
One is that she is afraid that she will think too much and feel pressure, and the other is that she will not dare.
Home, such an environment is too warm and cozy, and people can't help but want to do something.
In order not to scare her, Huo Jingyuan could only not go.
When Qiao Ruoqing asked him to go, he also struggled a little, but thought that Qiao Ruoqing should have something very important to tell him, so he still went.
When he entered Qiao Ruoqing's room, he saw Qiao Ruoqing lock the door, and the hand he put on his side involuntarily tightened.
This kind of move...... Isn't it something unspeakable?
Because he gave her his credit card, so she had to make a personal promise? But this is not like Qiao Ruoqing's style.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Qiao Ruoqing had already handed the card in front of him, "Brother Huo, you can take this back." ”
Huo Jingyuan was slightly stunned, and it took a while to react: "What? ”
"You take it back." Seeing that he didn't mean to move, Qiao Ruoqing grabbed his hand and stuffed the card over.
His hands were warm, and there was a little callus on his fingertips, and when he crossed the back of her hand, there was a slight pain, and even her heart trembled slightly.
Lowering his head and looking at the card that was stuffed back into his palm, Huo Jingyuan suddenly smiled, "What are you...... Do you want to give me back the New Year's money I gave you? ”
"What kind of New Year's money?!" Qiao Ruoqing raised her head and glared at him with slightly red cheekbones, "What the elders give is the New Year's money!" Don't try to take advantage of me in this regard! ”
Don't try to use a card to move up your ranks, don't even think about this kind of thing!
Originally, Huo Jingyuan's mood was quite complicated, he gave New Year's money for the first time in his life, but he didn't expect it to be returned intact, this experience is really not good.
But when he heard Qiao Ruoqing's words, the dark clouds in his heart dispersed in an instant, and he couldn't help but want to tease her, so he leaned into her ear and asked softly, "Then, where do you want me to take advantage?" ”
His voice was too soft, and he didn't know if it was intentional, and the warm breath sprayed on Qiao Ruoqing's thin ear little by little, and in an instant, it was like a layer of pink veil, revealing a reddish color. Beautiful
Covering his ears with his hands and flashing to the side, Qiao Ruoqing glared at him: "Hooligans!" ”
Very angry tone.
She was obviously talking about such serious things, why did Huo Jingyuan think of that? Why didn't she find out that Huo Jingyuan was such a person before?
Huo Jingyuan was also joking with Qiao Ruoqing, and he didn't really want to do anything, but now that he saw Qiao Ruoqing angry, he immediately stood up straight, but put the card on the bedside table again, "This is for you, you can just take the flowers in the future." ”
After being silent for a long time, he seemed to understand something, and added: "You don't need to pay it back." ”
Qiao Ruoqing's eyes widened.
Huo Jingyuan thought she was afraid of repaying her credit card?
And it's scary because you don't need her, isn't it?
"I can make money myself, I don't need your money!" She expressed her stubbornness word by word.
Thinking of the New Year's gift again, as well as Huo Jingyuan's lonely back, Qiao Ruoqing's heart was even more awkward, "And I didn't give you a New Year's gift, so you don't have to give me New Year's money!" ”
Not to mention that it's still so much money!
Huo Jingyuan sighed lowly, "Didn't you say that the annual party cost a lot of money?" This is to compensate you. ”
"I can't spend more money than you can spend on the annual meeting. Cards! Qiao Ruoqing was speechless, what kind of reasons are these!
And she spent the money willingly, so she didn't need Huo Jingyuan to give it, okay?
Huo Jingyuan found that this girl was not an ordinary strong.
After collecting everything, what is the operation of returning it to him? What he Huo Jingyuan sent out, there was never a reason to get it back.
Looking at the card, he moved his fingertips slightly, and picked it up, "Since you don't want it, it's useless to keep it." ”
Then Qiao Ruoqing saw Huo Jingyuan break the end of the card with one hand and wanted to fold it in the middle.
Qiao Ruoqing was frightened and roared: "What are you doing?" ”
Huo Jingyuan's hand began to exert force, and he didn't mean to stop at all.
Qiao Ruoqing panicked, hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the card over, protecting it in the palm of her hand.
Although even if it is folded, it can be made up, but ...... It's better to take good care of it!
Now Huo Jingyuan was satisfied, "You took it yourself." ”
Seeing that Qiao Ruoqing was stunned, he seemed to be afraid that Qiao Ruoqing would regret it, and immediately said: "If you don't want to spend it, just leave it there, and ......"
After a pause, he pursed the corners of his lips, as if thinking about something.
Qiao Ruoqing's heart rose to her throat.
And also? What else?
If you have anything to say, say it all at once, I can't stand it!
Just when Qiao Ruoqing was about to hold back her words, Huo Jingyuan finally spoke up again: "If you don't think you have given me a New Year's gift and don't want to go, it's too late to make up for it later." ”
Then, he put his hand on the doorknob, "I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala downstairs with my parents, you can come down at any time." ”
Qiao Ruoqing was stunned in place, and after a long while, she lowered her head and looked at the black card in her hand.
Nine silver numbers line up neatly on either side of the centurion's head, each of which is a status symbol.
Huo Jingyuan really gave this to her...... I actually gave it to her......
……
When Huo Jingyuan went downstairs, Huo Jiang was watching the sketch with Tang Lan in his arms, the show seemed to be very exciting, and Tang Lan's laughter was very pleasant.
Seeing Huo Jingyuan coming down, Huo Jiang looked behind him, "Jingyuan, what about Ruoqing?" Why are you alone? ”
Hearing Huo Jiang's voice, Tang Lan also looked over, with a smile on her face, "Yes, Xiaojing, why didn't you call Xiaoqing over?" ”
"She said she was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while." Huo Jingyuan replied.
He knew in his heart that his parents would not care about this little thing, and they would not let her rest because they wanted her to come down and watch the Spring Festival Gala together.
Sure enough, the two elders didn't say anything more, just asked him to take good care of Qiao Ruoqing, and then continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Huo Jingyuan actually doesn't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala very much, he wants to go up and see Qiao Ruoqing.
I don't know how she's doing now, looking at the way she just looked, she was serious.
But he is also serious, his parents have given him the New Year's money or something, if he gives it again, it is not special at all, thinking about it, this is better, and it is also very practical, he can't think of any reason for Qiao Ruoqing to refuse.
Not long after, Qiao Ruoqing came down and joined the ranks of watching the Spring Festival Gala, but she didn't make any eye contact with Huo Jingyuan, as if she was deliberately dodging.
Huo Jingyuan's heart was a little uncomfortable.
Didn't you just give a card? It's not a big deal, is it necessary?
