The snacks and the unfinished hamburger that Lin Xiaowan bought were mercilessly taken away by lluo Zheng.
Lin Xiaowan tried to grab a bag of potato chips as she asked, “Can, can we keep one at least?”
lluo Zheng narrowed his eyes. “Let go. I’ll consider letting you eat it after your throat recovers.”
Lin Xiaowan looked at the empty table and sighed.
“Alright, go brush your teeth and wash up before you sleep.”
Lin Xiaowan failed to carry out her original plan to blame Little Chestnut. She felt that Huo Zheng was not really angry. He did not raise his voice at all; in fact, it was rather gentle. At most, his expression was a little serious.
Lin Xiaowan had been thinking about a matter recently. She decided to mention it to Huo Zheng at this moment. She said, “1 want to use one of the rooms for Little Chestnut. I’ve been doing live broadcasts of Little Chestnut recently. It’ll be easier to film Little Chestnut in a room compared to the living room.”
In fact, their house was not small. Even Aunt Wu had a room in the house for the occasional times she stayed over. However, the other rooms were all in use. There was Huo Zheng’s gym, Lin Xiaowan’s storage room where she built the building blocks and kept them, Lin Xiaowan’s studio, and the home theater.
Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment before she said, “I’ve not used that small room where I keep my building blocks for a long time now. I can tidy the room up and turn it into a playroom for Little Chestnut.”
Huo Zheng was not willing to touch Lin Xiaowan’s room for a cat. He did not respond to her request and only said, “Go brush your teeth first.”
Lin Xiaowan grabbed his hand and shook it. “Can I turn that room into Little Chestnut’s playroom?”
“No,” Huo Zheng replied with a hint of helplessness.
It was rare for Huo Zheng to reject her so decisively so she was momentarily stunned. She asked with widened eyes, “Why?”
“The room is yours,” Huo Zheng said. He did not explain too much. However, seeing how much she wanted a playroom for Little Chestnut, he asked, “Should we move to a bigger place?”
“Where?”
“I have a three-story house in Xilin Imperial Garden. Although it’s empty, someone has been cleaning it regularly. It’s quite close to the central area of Shengjing; it’s a quiet place in the downtown area,” Huo Zheng said, “However, it was built quite a while ago so the facilities are old. The heating system there has yet to be turned on this year. We’ll need to check the place out first. If we decide to move, we can do it after the new year.”
Lin Xiaowan was quite hesitant. She did not really want to move.
Huo Zheng leaned over and easily carried Lin Xiaowan, who was acting shamelessly on the couch. He held her waist with one hand and her butt with the other, carrying her to the bathroom to wash up before sleeping.
Lin Xiaowan did not have the habit of playing with her phone, and she did not keep it with her everywhere she went. As such, her phone was left on the coffee table in the living room, forgotten.
A moment later, the lights in the living room were turned off. It was pitch black, and only a few occasional sounds of movements from Little Chestnut could be heard. After a while, it fell silent.
However, Lin Xiaowan’s live broadcast was still on. Since it was pitch black, there was no difference whether it was on or not.
[Netizen #1: It seems like Little Chestnut’s mother completely forgot about the live broadcast.]
[Netizen #2: It’s obvious that the couple has gone to bed.]
[Netizen #3: It’s already midnight after all.]
[Netizen #4: Sigh. I didn’t get to hear Little Chestnut’s mother cry when she was scolded. Little Chestnut’s parents are so gentle when they talk…]
[Netizen #5: Put away your dangerous thoughts!]
[Netizen #6: Little Chestnut’s father has a really nice voice. It has the charm of a mature man…]
[Netizen #7: Ahhh! I understand what you mean!]
[Netizen #8: Little Chestnut’s father really dotes on Little Chestnut’s mother. As soon as he arrived, he went to get slippers for her. He even spoke to her about eating too many snacks and wants her to see a doctor tomorrow. You can see he really cares about her.]
[Netizen #9: Yes, yes, yes! Not only that, but when she suggested converting her room into a playroom for Little Chestnut, it’s obvious that he refused because the room belongs to her. He even wanted to move so she did not have to sacrifice her room!]
[Netizen #10; If I didn’t hear wrongly, he mentioned Xilin Imperial Garden, right?]
[Netizen #11: I’ve never heard of it. Why?]
[Netizen #12: Xilin Imperial Garden is one of the most central locations in Shengjing. You can look it up yourself.]
[Netizen #13:1 can only say that even if you have money, you may not be able to live there. It seems like Little Chestnut’s parents are not ordinary people…]
[Netizen #14: Alright, alright, let’s just focus on the cat. Don’t think too much when you’re looking at cats!]
[Netizen #15: Seeing that there’s no sound, Little Chestnut is already asleep. Moreover, we can’t see anything!]
The phone screen was on the entire time. After some time, a warning notification, indicating the battery was low, popped up. Not long after, the battery was exhausted, and the phone automatically shut down. With that, Little Chestnut’s live broadcast also came to an end.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Now that it was December, Lin Xiaowan’s birthday was fast approaching.
The company was very busy since it was the end of the year. Huo Zheng worked non-stop for half a month before he could take a few days off to celebrate Lin Xiaowan’s birthday.
“I’ve prepared a birthday present for you,” Huo Zheng said.
They were catching a flight today.
Lin Xiaowan’s throat had fully recovered. Recently, she did not have much to do. It was too cold so she did not go to the dessert shop. She did not want to leave the house at all. At this time, she had just woken up from her nap. Her face was red from sleep.
Huo Zheng could not but reach out to stroke her cheek.
She yawned and rubbed her eyes before she let Huo Zheng help her put on a white wool sweater. She said, “You haven’t told me where we are going. Why are you being so mysterious?”
Huo Zheng chuckled as he helped her put on her coat and wrapped a scarf around her neck.
Lin Xiaowan tugged at her scarf and complained, “There’s no need for it to be so thick. It’s not cold in the car and on the plane.
She waddled like a penguin when she walked due to the layers of clothes she was wearing.
“The weather is bad, and the wind is strong.”
Their destination was Chahar.
When they landed and disembarked from the plane, they got into the car and drove for a few hours, leaving the city. After a while, only large expanses of grasslands could be seen on both sides of the road.
It was already past 8 PM at this time. During winter, the sky had already long darkened at this time. However, in Chahar, it had only turned dark not long ago.
As the car sped past, golden lamps hanging on nomadic tents could be seen occasionally.
Lin Xiaowan had never been to such a place before. She leaned against the car window and looked outside curiously. Although it was winter, the land was not barren.
It became more and more deserted as they drove.
Seeing this, an idea appeared in Lin Xiaowan’s mind. She turned around and asked the man who was hugging her, “Are we going to stay in a tent?”
It would be uncomfortable to live in a tent during winter so Huo Zheng did not have such a plan.. However, seeing the interest in her eyes, he asked, “Do you want to stay in a tent?”
