The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 598 - 332

Before, she had a tough life, but now and in the future, he and his family would never let her suffer again.

Wenyan didn’t think too much about it and simply stretched out her pinky finger to Shen Jingchuan.

"Pinky promise, hang me up to die if I lie!"

Shen Jingchuan sneered, "Childish, do you think I’m a three-year-old kid?"

Wenyan arched her eyebrows and huffed, "Who was it that made such sweet promises just now, even saying we’d set off fireworks together every year, tsk tsk. If you don’t want to acknowledge it, fine by me, I’m not that eager!"

As she spoke, Wenyan was about to retract her hand.

Shen Jingchuan saw this and thought it unacceptable! He immediately grabbed Wenyan’s hand back and forcibly hooked her pinky.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years, no changes allowed!" He spoke so quickly, as if the words burned his mouth or as if he were afraid Wenyan would regret it.

Wenyan laughed a little as she watched him, thinking to herself, "Little guy, as if I can’t handle you!"

"Let’s seal it with a stamp, then we’ll have reached an agreement, okay?"

Shen Jingchuan: "......" Ahhh, damn, she got the better of him just like that! Darn girl, playing tricks with us!

However, Shen Jingchuan wasn’t at all angry; instead, he found her incredibly cute. How could there be such an adorable sister in the world? When they’d stamped their thumbs earlier, she even unconsciously pouted her lips.

"Here, this is for you." Shen Jingchuan reached out and suddenly pulled something out of his coat pocket and stuffed it into Wenyan’s hand.

"What is this?" Wenyan turned the object over in her hands a couple of times but couldn’t make out what it was.

"Lighter Stick," Shen Jingchuan said, "you don’t even recognize this."

"Ah?" Wenyan exclaimed in surprise, "Lighter sticks come in the shape of hearts now? And they’re even studded with diamonds."

This time, Qin Yulong answered Wenyan: "...His girlish heart is bursting. The one he gave me is covered in diamond-studded bows."

Shen Jingchuan: "What’s wrong, isn’t it pretty? I think it’s especially suitable for you girls, pretty and shiny."

Wenyan: "Well said! We girls are naturally beautiful and shiny haha. When do we start lighting them? I can hardly wait."

Shen Jingchuan turned and checked everyone’s position, confirming:

"Everyone’s here, we can start now. We’re going to light the front row first, then the back row after the first row is done. These few have to be lit at the same time to be magnificent. The fuses are already connected. Yulong, you light the right side; you light the middle; I’ll ignite this side. I’ll count down from three, then we light them together, okay?"

"Okay!" Wenyan and Qin Yulong responded in unison.

Shen Jingchuan immediately started counting down: "Three, two, one, light!"

A faint sizzling noise began as the three fuses were almost simultaneously lit.

The trio took four or five steps back to meet up with the other family members before waiting a while for the fireworks to explode.

Shen Jingchuan said the first wave was called Meteor Shower, with silver-white sparks shooting into the sky. It was incredibly beautiful.

By the end of the first wave, Su Yang remembered to get everyone together for a group photo.

Everyone naturally indulged the two youngest girls of the family, with each person holding up their phones to take photos of Wenyan and Qin Yulong.

The second wave, ’Fire Tree Silver Flower,’ and the third wave, ’Meteor Waterfall,’ were ignited by the three Shen brothers without the girls participating.

After these three waves of fireworks were finished, the sky above the lake opposite suddenly burst with huge festoons of fireworks of various colors and shapes, even forming the words ’Happy New Year.’

Wenyan’s favorite was the last wave of blue fireworks, which exploded in the shape of roses in the sky.

She had only casually recorded a few seconds of the previous fireworks.

For the blue rose round, she kept her phone up the entire time, recording and lavishing praise non-stop.

Just when she was about to switch the camera to the front for a selfie with the blue rose fireworks, Shen Jingxiu silently handed her a lit sparkler.

Without a word, they simply exchanged smiles and then leaned their heads together, entering Wenyan’s front camera view.

Initially, the phone was in Wenyan’s hands, but capturing both of them together, the sparkler in hand, and keeping the blue fireworks above in the frame was quite challenging.

Seeing this, Shen Jingxiu quietly took the phone from her. With his longer arms, it was much easier for him to capture the whole scene.

The rest of the family saw them taking selfies and joined in, taking many group photos together.

Wenyan’s last day of her second year in this world was filled with happiness and beauty.

At the stroke of midnight, welcoming the New Year, she posted an update on her social timeline right on time.

It was a simple ’Happy New Year’, accompanied by a photo from behind of the whole family.

That was a photo Su Yang had taken with the camera set on a tripod.

In the photo, their family of seven was facing away from the camera, looking up at the blue fireworks in the sky.

Starting from the left, Shen Yuan had his arm around Su Yang’s shoulder, with her head resting lightly on him, appearing affectionate and harmonious.

Next to Su Yang was Shen Jinghe, wearing a hoodie cap, looking cool and aloof even from the back.

Beside him stood Qin Yulong, upright and looking up into the sky.

Next to Qin Yulong was Shen Jingchuan, with his left hand in his pocket and his right arm raised in a ’yea’.

It wasn’t really his style, but with Wenyan next to him raising both hands to form a heart, he glanced at her and felt he should also do something.

On Wenyan’s other side was Shen Jingxiu. As the camera captured the moment, he was looking at Wenyan.

While everyone was watching the fireworks, he was gazing at the girl he cherished in his heart.

Wenyan’s social circle was not open to the public, and none of her friends would make any inane comments about the photo.

But the next day, there were some discussions online about last night’s fireworks show.

A City was not without its fireworks displays.

But the blue rose fireworks were indeed a rarity, so they quickly sparked heated debates online.

’Oh my, A City is just A City. Awesome and rich, that blue firework show lasted for, like, seven or eight minutes.’

’What they’re burning there isn’t just fireworks, it’s money, okay? That must have cost hundreds of thousands, right?’

’Hundreds of thousands? Are you kidding? For this scale, especially rare blue fireworks, it starts at a million, plus the other fireworks. The whole show must have cost tens of millions.’

’Damn, A City is that high-end? Spending tens of millions on New Year’s fireworks?’

’NONONO, you guys are thinking too much. This year’s A City fireworks show wasn’t this one, it was way poorer than this. This seems to be just a private fireworks display.’

’Blue rose, so is this some tycoon pampering his girlfriend? The last thing I scrolled past was a drone proposal, and look at this one, directly setting off fireworks for the New Year.’

’I guess so too, why else would they set off blue roses, and they could have ended it with the ’Happy New Year’ message.’

’Ahhh, my gossip soul is aflame again, a whole day has almost passed, haven’t you sleuths figured out which tycoon it is? This is so romantic!’
