'Fireworks by the river? For me?'

"Isn't the private display of fireworks without permission banned now?"

Tan Sangsang waved her hand and said, "There's a vast space by the riverside and a flat dam. We can set off fireworks there. Don't you know that many people do that each year?"

'Uh...'

Yan Jinyi felt a little awkward. She covered her mouth and coughed a little before saying, "I'm very busy and I don't have the time to pay attention to such things."

Tan Sangsang took out an exquisitely wrapped box and said, "This is a gift from me and Mu Mu, happy birthday. Since your birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, it means that you're going to earn loads of money next year!"

Yan Jinyi immediately smiled. The was a small ceramic doll that looked rather ugly and had distorted features but overall, it had an artistic vibe.

Staring at the uneven eyes of the doll, Tan Sangsang explained softly, "Mu Mu and I made this together. It isn't worth much but it's a token of appreciation from us."

"That's very nice of you."

She knew what Tan Sangsang's financial situation was like. Although Yan Jinyi used to be a bandit, she was a person of principle and wouldn't rip others off indiscriminately.

"It's good that you don't mind. Mu Mu and I will be heading home in the afternoon and we won't meet until more than ten days later."

Yan Jinyi said, "We don't need to see each other everyday. Go ahead, go have fun."

Tan Sangsang suddenly sighed and said, "In fact, I don't really want to go home."

"What's the matter?"

"My relatives arranged a blind date for me but I have Mu Mu, and it won't be a good idea for me to get married."

Yan Jinyi patted Tan Sangsang's shoulder and said solemnly, "If nothing works, I'll decide on your behalf. Marry Huo Zihang, he's Mu Mu's biological father anyway."

Tan Sangsang shivered and shook her head immediately. "No, no, I can't. I don't want to be involved with him anymore. Jinyi, don't spout nonsense again in the future."

"Sangsang, why do you hate Huo Zihang so much? He may be a playboy, but he's rich! After you marry him, just enjoy life and live in luxury.You don't have to bother about what Huo Zihang gets up to out there either. You just need to take his money, what's not to like?"

"We can't be together, Jinyi, you don't understand."

Yan Jinyi merely thought that Tan Sangsang purely disliked the fact that Huo Zihang was a philanderer.

"Why don't I introduce you to Tang Qing, who is handsome, rich and powerful, and not as much of a womanizer as Huo Zihang? More importantly, he doesn't let his parents control his life and he's even more domineering than his father. He won't allow you to be mistreated."

Tan Sangsang was speechless. "Jinyi, don't blindly try to set me up with others. You think I don't know that Tan Sangsang is interested in you?"

"But I'm not interested in him!"

Yan Jinyi looked really innocent. Besides, she had plenty of suitors.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this, I have to pick up Mu Mu and take him home. My cousin is arriving soon. Jinyi, see you after the Lunar New Year."

Yan Jinyi waved her hand at Tan Sangsang and was just about to leave when a very luxurious sports car stopped in front of her.

Yan Jinyi covered her face with the scarf and watched coldly as the car window rolled down slowly, revealing Tang Qing's handsome face.

"Miss Yan, I came all the way here to give you a gift. Will you get inside my car?"

'A gift?'

Yan Jinyi recalled the auction house that Tang Qing ran and decisively opened the door to get inside the car.

It was chilly outside and her hands and feet were cold. As soon as she got inside the car, she felt the warm air wafting up to her face.

Yan Jinyi took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what gift do you have for me?"
