Jing Yao spent the next few days very comfortably.

Liang Xun did not go out again after returning from his business trip in Lin City.

The company had an annual leave, so there were even more family members present. Mr. Liang and Mr. Shen arranged to play chess and drink tea, while the others played cards. Jing Yao even learned how to play mahjong. The others would give in to her when she first learned it.

She was even addicted to playing. Every day, she would play mahjong with Sun Jia and the others after breakfast. She didn’t even want to take an afternoon nap. She was always urged to sleep by Liang Xun.

Time flew by when she was in a good mood. In the blink of an eye, it was already 30th.

On this day, the family woke up at dawn. The auntie at home was also on leave these few days. This had always been the Liang Family’s habit. During the new year, they would let all the servants at home go back. Their salary would still be paid during the holidays.

This way, they would have to prepare everything for the new year personally.

When Jing Yao woke up in the morning, she saw snow outside the window, but it was not heavy. The snowflakes were fine and light, and there was a thin layer on the branches.

Jing Yao loved snow, but was still afraid of it at the same time. She liked to see snow covering the ground. It was clean and pure, but she was afraid of the low temperature brought by snow.

It seemed that it snowed every year during the new year. She had just been brought back to the Jing Family from the countryside for the first year and she did not know her status in the Jing Family at that time.

In her limited understanding, she thought that with a family, she would become a child who was doted on and could have fun during the new year.

That year, on New Year’s Eve, she had a smile on her face from the moment she woke up. She couldn’t help but stare at Jing Mo and Zhang Li expectantly and happily. She knew that children would receive gifts and wear new clothes on this day.

However, she did not know how she provoked Jing Yuan. Jing Yuan told Zhang Li that her heart ached whenever she got close to Jing Yao. At that time, Zhang Li was very wary of Jing Yao and thought that Jing Yao’s fate not only jinxed her, but also Jing Yuan.

Then, she threw her into the storeroom alone and even warned her not to come out. She said that as long as she came out, the entire family would feel uncomfortable.

After that, she stayed in that small storeroom for a day. She could hear the laughter outside and imagine the happy family of three.

It had also snowed that year, and it was very heavy. There was no air conditioning in the storeroom, nor was there any ground heating. At that time, she tried her best to hide in a pile of old clothes that was going to be donated, but she still could not resist the bone-chilling cold.

She did not remember much after that. Anyway, she was in the hospital when she woke up. The person who sent her to the hospital was an auntie at home. It was the new year, but that auntie had to accompany her to the hospital. How could she be in a good mood? She probably knew that she was not favored. From then on, she kept calling her a jinx.

After that, she never smiled again during the new year because she already understood that Jing Yuan could not stand to see her smile. As long as she showed a happy expression, Jing Yuan would definitely think of ways to make her unhappy.

“What are you thinking about?” An arm suddenly wrapped around her from behind, and his warm breath landed beside her ear.

Jing Yao came back to her senses and threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind. She slowly turned around and faced Liang Xun with a smile. “It’s snowing.”

Liang Xun looked at her seriously and smiled. “Do you like snow?”

This question stumped Jing Yao. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying seriously, “Yes, 1 like it. The world is very quiet and peaceful after snow.”

No matter how heavy it snowed in the future, she probably wouldn’t be like that time when she was so cold that she almost couldn’t wake up. She would never be cold again, so she liked snow.

“Then get up. Shall 1 bring you out to take a look?” Liang Xun asked softly.

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, Jing Yao appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, fully covered from the nose down.

As for Liang Xun, he was wearing a dark coat. He was already tall and had long legs, so he looked even more pleasing to the eye in a slim coat.

Jing Yao looked at him and then at herself, feeling a little speechless.

Wasn’t it a little incompatible to stand beside Liang Xun like this?

Liang Xun did not know what she was thinking. He helped her to the door and happened to see Shen Zhao and Zhu Ling pasting couplets while Shen Yu stood in the distance with his arms crossed.

“Yo, Brother and Sister-in-law are up?” Shen Yu greeted them casually.

Liang Xun could tell that he was being sarcastic. He glanced at him indifferently and said coldly, “How can you let the two ladies paste couplets and watch from the side?”

Shen Yu did not speak. He only raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his arm..
