Chapter 219 - 219 New Year's Gift
219 New Year’s Gift
When the clock struck midnight, He Miao woke up from her sleep in a daze. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the man who was looking at her with his head propped on his hand.
He Miao was startled. After she adjusted to the darkness in the room and saw that the person was Jing Yan, she heaved a sigh of relief. With a nasal voice, she asked lazily, “What are you doing here?”
Hearing the girl’s cute nasal voice, Jing Yan only felt warm inside. He said with a gentle expression, “”We agreed to stay up for the new year together, but you fell asleep first.”
“I was too tired just now. What time is it now?” He Miao raised her head slightly to look at him, her pink and cute face warm from sleep.
Jing Yan could not help but touch it and laughed, “It’s just past midnight. Miaomiao, Happy New Year.”
“Happy New Year.” He Miao smiled sweetly, then stretched out her hand in front of him, pretending to be rude. “So what is the New Year’s gift you’re talking about? Hurry up and hand it over!”
“Alright, I’ll give it to you now. Close your eyes first.” Jing Yan supported his head with his hand and did not move. After she obediently closed her eyes, he took out a key from his pocket and put it in her hand.
“What is this?” Feeling the coldness in his palm, He Miao looked up at him in a daze. She clenched the key in his hand and was puzzled. “Where is this key to? You didn’t buy a house in secret, right?”
“It’s almost the same.” Jing Yan smiled mischievously. Seeing that she was about to reject him after recovering from her shock, he quickly said, “It’s not a house. It’s a place you’ll definitely like.”
“What is it? You’re acting so mysterious.” He Miao pretended to get up and pushed his arm angrily.
Jing Yan grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. He rubbed the tip of her nose affectionately and said, “I’ll take you to see it now. Don’t be angry with me, okay?”
He Miao glanced at him suspiciously, then nodded obediently.
Jing Yan reluctantly let her go. He stood up, tidied his clothes, and pulled He Miao to the top floor of the villa.
“This is it. Open it and take a look.” Jing Yan led her to the innermost room and stopped, signaling her to take out the key to open the door.
He Miao’s sense of smell had always been sharp. She could smell the strong aroma from the door and immediately guessed what Jing Yan’s New Year gift was.
It was also because of this that she found it unbelievable.
Sensing He Miao’s hesitation, Jing Yan patiently hugged her from behind and held her hand, which was holding the key hesitantly. Together, they inserted the key into the lock.
The moment the door was pushed open, a strong fragrance rushed towards them like a beast that had finally been released from its cage.
He Miao’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at the exquisitely decorated perfume-making laboratory with all the necessary equipment and ingredients.
“Why did you think of giving me this? When did you set up this place?” He Miao strode into the laboratory in disbelief. Looking at the rare and expensive spices on the shelves, she felt like she had found a treasure.
Jing Yan looked at her happy face with a smile and knew that the gift had been delivered to her heart. He smiled smugly and said, “I’m your boyfriend, of course I know what you want the most. As for when I set up this laboratory, it took me a lot of effort. I’ve been preparing it since a long time ago, but I haven’t had the opportunity to show it to you. If you think it’s missing something, you can… Tell me.”
Before Jing Yan could finish, He Miao had already hugged him with tears of joy. She leaned his head against Jing Yan’s chest and whispered in Jing Yan’s ear, “Thank you, Jing Yan. I love it.”
“It’s good that you like it,” Jing Yan gently patted her back and coaxed her in a low voice, “Don’t cry. If Grandpa finds out that I made you cry by giving you a New Year’s gift, he’ll skin me alive.”
He Miao laughed at him and allowed Jing Yan to wipe her tears. She grabbed his hand and said coquettishly, “I’ve made you spend a lot of money. It’s not cheap to set up a laboratory. You must have spent a lot of money, right?
“As long as it can make you happy, what’s the big deal with spending some money?” Jing Yan raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, “Your boyfriend is rich. He doesn’t need to save money. If I can’t even support you, what’s the point of me living?”
“But I can’t let you spend so much money.” He Miao put on a serious face, looked at Jing Yan seriously, and said, “I know you won’t be willing to take my money, so let me make perfumes for you and Grandpa from now on.”
Any of her original recipes would be worth at least a million dollars, so it was clear how much He Miao’s promise was worth.
Jing Yan was very satisfied with this offer. He was not greedy for rewards, but he wanted He Miao to use the laboratory without any worries.
Seeing Jing Yan nod in agreement, He Miao finally heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled from the bottom of his heart. “Jing Yan, you’re actually the best New Year present you can give me.”
