After My Ex-Boyfriend's White Moonlight Proposed to Me

Xie Ning returned to the compound for the New Year.

Uncle Zhong smiled when he saw him: "The old man is looking forward to your coming."

While talking, he took his luggage over: "Last time you asked Wu Shu to bring the snowflake cake. The old man liked it very much. He wanted to taste a piece of it every day, but he was afraid that if he ate too much, it would be gone soon."

Xie Ning smiled: "Grandpa likes to eat, I will buy more in the future."

"The old man loves to eat whatever you give him." Uncle Zhong sent his luggage to the room. "This room is cleaned every day. No matter what day you come, you can stay anytime."

Xie Ning said: "This time I will live until the end of the year... Where is Grandpa? Has he gone out?"

Uncle Zhong sighed: "Just fell asleep. It's been cold for the past two days, and the old man's health is not very good. He woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep. Today, he felt sleepy after lunch."

Xie Ning: "Then don't bother him, let him sleep more."

Uncle Zhong nodded repeatedly, smiling until the wrinkles on his face were crowded together: "The old man must be happy to see you when he wakes up!"

Xie Ning glanced at the room, and the furnishings in the room remained unchanged, exactly the same as when he moved out.

The pots of unknown flowers he kept on the balcony also stretched their branches and leaves against the winter sun, and it seemed that they were well taken care of on weekdays.

Uncle Zhong watched Xie Ning hang the clothes in the closet, and then saw him put a rabbit doll on the bedside, and smiled: "I don't know that the young master likes this?"

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why he brought it here.

When I was packing my luggage, I always felt that only with this bunny doll can I sleep comfortably at night.

"It's cute, but it's a little small." Uncle Zhong said, "A plush doll, it needs to be bigger so that it's comfortable to hold."

Xie Ning thought for a while and said, "I like this."

The Xie family has few descendants, Mr. Xie only has two sons, Xie Zun and Xie Jing, and Grandma Xie Ning never remarried after her death.

After the two sons got married, they moved out one after another and had another house, but they still went back to the compound to spend the Chinese New Year with Mr. Xie.

On New Year's Eve, Xie Ning's parents and uncle's family rushed back to the compound one after another.

The New Year's Eve dinner was prepared in their own kitchen. Xia Wan and Xie Zun's wife, Su Jinyan, sat on the big sofa in the living room, chatting and making dumplings.

Making dumplings is a unique activity of the Xie family during Chinese New Year. The skins and fillings are prepared in the kitchen early in the morning, and they just need to wrap them by hand.

Even Mr. Xie came over to make a few dumplings, and personally put a copper coin in one of the dumplings.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, whoever gets the copper coins will be blessed.

"Where did Ning Ning go? Why haven't I seen him all day?" Su Jinyan raised her chin and smiled at Xia Wan.

Xia Wan wrapped it slowly, but now she frowned and said, "Stay in the room, this kid is just bored and likes to be alone."

Su Jinyan said: "It's good to be quiet. Our family An'an loves to make trouble. He often plays outside until midnight before returning home. Let him come back early. He said it was a social gathering at work and he couldn't refuse it."

Xia Wan knew that she was showing off her son in secret, so she twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled halfheartedly, and didn't answer the question.

Su Jinyan said again: "The relationship between you and Ningning is still cold? I said that there is no deep hatred between you mother and son. He is stubborn, so you just give in and let things go."

The smile on Xia Wan's face froze.

She frowned: "Sister-in-law said this, I haven't been submissive enough these years? He likes men, should I still laugh and watch him go astray?"

Su Jinyan advised her: "Same-sex marriage has been legal for so many years, why is it going astray?"

Xia Wan said coldly: "Look at the people around, how can anyone marry the same sex? I stopped him for his own good!"

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Seeing her like this, Su Jinyan's tone changed, "What are you worrying about?"

Xia Wan looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said, "It's not your son, so naturally you don't worry about it. If Xie An also likes men, wouldn't you stop him and accept it easily?"

Su Jinyan was choked by this sentence, and said calmly, "He is an adult, as long as he doesn't commit murder and break the law, he can decide other things by himself. Of course, I respect his wishes."

Xie An has had several girlfriends, and she has a straightforward sexuality. Su Jinyan never worried about this issue.

Xia Wan sneered in her heart.

Easier said than done.

Who doesn't know that Su Jinyan urges Xie An to get married every day, hoping that he will have a child soon so that he can inherit the huge property of the Xie family.

Now respect his wishes one by one, if Xie An is really with a man, she is afraid that she will be the first to turn his face.

On New Year's Eve, Xia Wan didn't want to make a fuss with her, but she lost the interest in gossiping, and stood up sullenly: "Sister-in-law, wrap it first, I'll go and see if the chicken soup in the kitchen is stewed."

Seeing her like this, Su Jinyan turned around and complained to Xie Zun.

Xie Zun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you poking her heart like this? It's their family's business, you are the one to worry about."

Su Jinyan snorted: "The old man's heart is too partial to Xie Ning, he didn't discuss with us about the 10% shares, and transferred them directly to Xie Ning. We, An An, have worked so hard in the company for so many years. Feelings are working for Xie Ning."

Xie Zun knew more than Su Jinyan, and shook his head: "This is dad's compensation for Xie Ning. You also know that at the beginning, the old man was afraid that I would fight with Xie Jing, so he assigned Xie Jing to start a business in the south, and Xia Wan took him with him. Xie Ning followed, the old man and this little grandson only meet a few times a year, thinking about it, and Xie Ning is in the south..."

He paused, didn't continue, and turned to say: "Xie Ning doesn't know anything about shopping malls. The old man didn't want to train him at all. No matter how partial he is, he just loves his grandson. Xie An is the heir in his mind."

Su Jinyan responded: "Our family An'an is already excellent."

Xie Zun said again: "While the old man is here, be careful with what you say, don't irritate Xia Wan, she can't solve her heart disease, let's not meddle in it, everyone have a good New Year."

Su Jinyan was taught half a lesson by him, and nodded reluctantly: "Understood."

Thanks to the old man Xie, the New Year's Eve dinner was quite harmonious.

Xie Zun took the lead, and everyone stood up and said a few words of blessing, and wished Mr. Xie a happy new year.

After Xie Ning finished speaking, Aunt Rong came over with dumplings and divided a few into each person's bowl: "Everyone made these with their own hands, full of good luck."

Xie Jing poked a dumpling in his bowl that was about to spill out, and said, "This must be made by Xia Wan."

Xia Wan turned her head to take a look, then stretched out her hand to pinch the flesh on his arm, and twisted it: "If you don't like it, just give it to me."

Xie Jing hurriedly said: "I don't dislike it, I will eat, I will eat."

Mr. Xie watched them making trouble with a smile, which was a bit of joy for the whole family.

Xie Ning took a bite of the dumplings in his bowl, and his teeth were suddenly knocked by something hard.

It looked like a stone, but when I looked down, I found it was a copper coin.

Mr. Xie said with a smile: "The copper coin I wrapped was eaten by you this year."

Everyone followed suit: "Good omen!"

Mr. Xie said: "Ning Ning is lucky. There will be happy events in the coming year."

Xie Ning also smiled with everyone.

For some reason, he suddenly thought whether meeting Zhuang Yan would be a happy event for him.

……

On the night of New Year's Eve, it snowed again.

A thin layer of snow also accumulated on the edge of the window sill. Xie Ning lay by the window and watched the scene of heavy snow falling for a while.

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, and the glass windows are covered with a layer of fog, which seems to blur the scenery outside the window.

The phone rang, and Xie Ning saw that it was Zhuang Yan who sent a photo.

He repeated the trick and made a snow rabbit, but this time the rabbit was smaller, about the size of a cup.

Zhuang Yan: The snow is not heavy enough today, so I can only make a small one for you, do you like it?

As a director, Zhuang Yan has a basic skill in photography. Even if the photos are taken with a mobile phone camera without any filters, both the composition and the picture are eye-catching.

In the photo, the Snow Rabbit is held in his palm, and behind it is an upside-down blessing on the wall.

Xie Ning: The pile of rabbits is not very good, but the photos are quite good.

Zhuang Yan's message came back quickly: I want to hold Mr. Rabbit in my palm.

Seeing these words, Xie Ning blushed unknowingly.

He exhaled lightly, and returned an ellipsis to Zhuang Yan.

Xie Ning: ...

Zhuang Yan: You haven't answered me yet, do you like it?

Xie Ning: ...I like it.

He looked at the photo, put down his phone suddenly, and drew with his finger on the foggy glass window.

Xie Ning has solid basic skills, and with just a few strokes, he drew a blue whale.

Fearing that the fog on the window sill would dissipate quickly, he quickly took a photo and sent it to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan didn't expect to receive such a gift in return, so he gave a low laugh, and his whole heart softened.

Zhuang Yan: Do you want Mr. Blue Whale to jump in from your windowsill?

Xie Ning: ...

Zhuang Yan: That might be a bit difficult.

Xie Ning: You think too much.

Zhuang Yan: Although you didn't ask, I still want to say that I also like your gift very much.

"Ning Ning!" Before Xie Ning could reply, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head subconsciously, and the smile on his face had no time to hold back: "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Mr. Xie looked at him and said with a smile: "You are in a daze again, what are you thinking, so happy?"

Xie Ning shook his head: "I was just chatting with a friend."

Mr. Xie said oh, and instead of continuing to ask, he handed over a document instead.

Xie Ning reached out to take it, and was surprised when he saw the title on the cover: "This is..."

It is a purchase contract.

Mr. Xie asked: "I heard that you recently moved to the lakeside villa?"

Xie Ning: "Yes."

Mr. Xie said again: "It's nice there, but the villa is too big, and you don't like too many people in your family. Living alone, it's too spacious and too lonely."

Xie Ning just shook his head: "I live pretty well."

Mr. Xie's tone was gentle: "This house is a single-family house. It's not as small as a single apartment, nor as big as a lakeside villa. It's very suitable for couples or couples to live in. This is a New Year's gift from grandpa."

Xie Ning quickly said, "Xu Qing and I have already broken up."

"The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come." Mr. Xie smiled, "I don't like that kid from the Xu family, he's too frivolous. Grandpa doesn't mind that you like men, but he doesn't approve of you being with him. Ah, people who are not from one world."

Xie Ning's expression moved slightly.

In these years, he used Xu Qing, his boyfriend, to reject the blind date that Xia Wan arranged for him. Mr. Xie never expressed his opinion, and this was the first time he knew that Mr. Xie didn't like Xu Qing in his heart.

Mr. Xie went on to say: "Whether you like men or women, I have no opinion, old man. I just hope that our family, Ningning, can find someone who really likes you and is worthy of your liking, and spend this life happily."

Xie Ning's nose was sore from what he said, and he hummed lightly.

"This house is what I prepared for you and your future lover." Mr. Xie said with a smile, "It won't be crowded for two people, and it won't be too spacious for one person. The location is very good and the transportation is convenient. There is a shopping mall far away, and I have searched the whole city, but I can't find a better place, so you can accept it."

Xie Ning looked at Mr. Xie, and felt warmth in his heart: "Thank you, Grandpa..."

"Family, what are you saying thank you for?" Mr. Xie smiled and shook his head, "Your father was sent to the south by me within two years of your birth, and your mother was worried and insisted on following. Although I wanted to send you It's not easy to separate your family of three..."

Mr. Xie sighed as he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It would be great if I kept you at that time. After so many years, we, grandpa and grandson, can only meet each other during the Chinese New Year."

Xie Ning lowered his head and said, "It's all in the past, won't I come back to you now?"

Mr. Xie nodded: "Since the past is over, I won't mention it."

Xie Ning looked at the house purchase contract in his hand, and still hesitated: "This gift is too expensive, my cousin..."

"It's so expensive." Mr. Xie knew what he was worried about, and said, "An'an's New Year's gift is a car, a global limited edition, and he likes it very much. I wanted to buy one for you, but I remembered that you haven't tested it yet. After passing the driver's license, it was replaced by this house. I didn't favor one over the other."

Only then did Xie Ning feel relieved, and accepted the New Year's gift.

During the conversation with Mr. Xie, the phone kept vibrating several times.

Xie Ning opened it, and Zhuang Yan sent a few more photos. He seemed to have gone out, and took several photos of the snow scene at night.

Xie Ning inexplicably felt that some of the landscapes were particularly familiar.

Zhuang Yan: Are you celebrating the New Year in the compound?

Xie Ning: Yes.

Zhuang Yan: My grandfather also lives in the compound. He and Mr. Xie are fishing friends.

Xie Ning was taken aback: Fishing friends?

Zhuang Yan: Well, the friends who went fishing together, they made an appointment to go fishing two days ago.

That's it.

Before Xie Ning could return, Zhuang Yan quickly sent another message: I'm celebrating the New Year with my grandfather today.

Xie Ning opened his eyes slightly, which means...

Zhuang Yan: I am also in the compound.

Zhuang Yan: It seems to be quite close to you.

Zhuang Yan: Do you want to come out to see me?

Xie Ning: It's so late...

Zhuang Yan: Let’s celebrate the new year together.

Xie Ning held the phone in his hands, and his heart skipped a beat.

Zhuang Yan said again: You don't want to see it and it's too late.

Zhuang Yan: Mr. Blue Whale cannot jump in from your windowsill, but he has already walked to your door.

Xie Ning was surprised:! ! !

He subconsciously looked out of the window towards the gate, but was blocked by the trees in the garden.

Zhuang Yan: I am waiting for you.

When Xie Ning came back to his senses and walked to the gate in a daze, he realized that he was holding the phone tightly, and his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of his chest.

Outside the gate, Zhuang Yan was covered in snowflakes, with his hands in his pockets, looking at him with the corners of his lips curled up in the interweaving of falling snow and cold wind.

He smiled, his eyes twinkling brightly like stars.

"Happy New Year, Ningning."

The author has something to say: I feel like I'm writing a fairy tale about the blue whale and the rabbit.

Zhuangzhuang: We already have a house, when can we live together?

Ning Ning: Don't ask Ning Ning, Ning Ning doesn't know anything.
