Chapter 298: Mark of Destiny
After the family had their reunion dinner, they sat in the observation tower of the Gong family estate.
What’s different from last year is that this year, because of the addition of siblings Shen Mojin and Shen Yan, they chose to have the fun together as a family.
A family of six.
Sitting around an exquisite low table on the top floor of the watchtower.
They enjoyed the dessert together, chatting and laughing.
The bodyguards and other servants who did not go home for the Spring Festival stayed in the manor and organized themselves to have fun together.
Some of them sat on another observation deck.
"Happy New Year!" Listening to the sound of firecrackers coming from everywhere in the suburbs, Gong Hong was in a good mood. He created a group and sent big New Year red envelopes to everyone in the manor.
When it was Ningning and the other two's turn.
Facing his handsome great-grandsons and beautiful great-granddaughters, Gong Hong took out a black card for each of them and said, "This is your red envelope. There is no password and no limit."
Gong Lening Qingyue refused, "Great Grandpa, Mom just gave it to us."
Chi Jiujiu smiled and looked at Gong Hong, "Yes, Grandpa, Yanbao and his siblings are not short of money. What I gave them is enough to buy a few buildings."
Gong Hong pretended to be angry, "It is a gift from the elders, I cannot refuse it."
Shen Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he politely reached out to take it, "Thank you, Grandpa Zeng." The more money the better, he will need it later.
Gong Qixu and Gong Lening took it hesitantly after seeing Shen Yan’s actions.
This black card is not ordinary, only eight of them have been issued worldwide.
Gong Hong has one in his hand.
The cards he gave to Chen Yan and his sister were secondary cards.
There were still a few minutes left until midnight, and the dark sky in the distance began to become colorful, with gorgeous fireworks blooming.
Fireworks are not allowed in the city or the suburbs.
But here at Gong Family Manor, there is no such concern at all. Unlike other citizens, there is no need to drive far away to set off fireworks and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"Brother Long, can Xiao Wu and the others start setting off fireworks?"
After Chi Jiujiu finished dialing the phone, she turned to look at Gong Hong and said, "Grandpa, last year you stayed in the villa with Grandpa Hua, but this year you came out with us, so we can enjoy it.
Ajin has already set up a formation around us, so we won’t be choked by the smell of gunpowder.”
Gong Hong: "Okay."
Chi Jiujiu brought Shen Mojin to the fence of the watchtower, then raised her bright eyes and gazed at the scenery in the night sky.
Gong Lening, Gong Hong and three others leaned against the fence on the other side and began to admire the view.
Listening to the "bang bang" sound of fireworks in the distance.
Shen Mojin raised his dark eyes and looked up at the sky along with Chi Jiujiu.
A few minutes passed and the time came to midnight.
Chi Jiujiu held Shen Mojin's big hand, retracted her gaze from the sky, and met the man's deep and moving eyes, "Ajin, we were not able to be together last year.
It’s great that we can finally watch the fireworks together this year.”
"Yeah." Shen Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Bang bang——!!"
“Bang…Bang…Bang…!!!”
Soon, several circles of fireworks were lit up one after another above the Gong family manor, and the dark sky suddenly became bright.
Beautiful flowers bloomed in the air.
The fireworks come in various shapes, some blooming like chrysanthemums, some cascading like waterfalls, and some twinkling like stars, which is a feast for the eyes.
"Does it look good? Jin."
Chi Jiujiu chuckled, took out a top-quality photo-taking stone, and threw it neatly into the air to record the scene.
Shen Mojin commented fairly, "It is so beautiful."
“Fireworks fade away quickly, they are short-lived and yet eternal. But as long as they have bloomed, people will remember them, and it is worth setting them off.”
Chi Jiujiu's eyes were filled with happiness.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned to look at Shen Mojin.
"Ajin, what are your wishes for the new year?" she asked softly.
Shen Mojin looked at her quietly, his star-like eyes full of seriousness.
"Jiujiu, my wish is very simple, I want to always be by your side and protect you." Shen Mojin's voice was low and firm.
After hearing this, Chi Jiujiu was deeply moved.
She held Shen Mojin's hand tightly and said, "Then let's make a wish together. I hope our wishes will come true."
The two smiled at each other, closed their eyes at the same time, and silently made a wish.
Under the brilliant fireworks, their figures looked particularly beautiful, as if the whole world belonged to only the two of them.
"Bang bang bang..." The fireworks are still blooming.
Suddenly, Chi Jiujiu felt a palpitation in her heart. She pulled her hand away from Shen Mojin and slowly pressed it against her chest.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
This is not the sound of fireworks exploding, but the rhythmic sound of a heart beating violently.
Chi Jiujiu frowned and thought to herself, "How strange, it's not just palpitations, I have an inexplicable strange feeling, and my chest is also hot."
There is a tingling sensation on the skin of my chest, as if something has grown there?
I didn't take the wrong medicine and I don't have any heart disease.
What is going on?
"What's wrong, Jiujiu?"
Shen Mojin noticed the movement and lowered his head to ask Chi Jiujiu.
Chi Jiujiu shook her head, "It's okay, Ajin, I'll go to the villa to get you some spiritual fruits. You continue to watch the fireworks with the grandpas, I'll come over later." She didn't interrupt his enjoyment of watching the fireworks.
Shen Mojin, "I'll go with you."
"No need."
Chi Jiujiu refused. After that, she quickly slipped from the top floor of the watchtower to the door of the villa, and then came to the warm bedroom.
Sitting on the edge of the round bed, she placed her slender hands on her shoulders.
The fluorescent light fluttered and the robes were taken off.
"Bang, bang, bang--" Chi Jiujiu listened to the sound of her heart beating violently.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her chest, only to see half a red spider lily mark growing on her originally snow-white skin.
The flower is located just above her left breast.
The green roots extended to the tip of her heart, and the whole flower seemed to grow out of her heart.
Chi Jiujiu was shocked. "What...is this?! Why did I get a tattoo like this? What's wrong with me?"
Bang... Bang...
As the heart beats violently, the petals of the red spider lily grow more and more.
The burning pain only faded away after the full flower was formed, completely covering her upper bust.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she touched the petals, wishing she could take them away.
Unexpectedly, the moment she touched the petals, a warmth came through her fingertips.
Chi Jiujiu felt as if her hand was burned and reflexively withdrew her hand.
A corner of the underworld.
Wuwang touched the green leaves on his heart, his eyes were dim, and his slender fingers pressed towards his beating heart. Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible pain.
After recalling his inner demon, he will be affected by it uncontrollably.
When Wuwang was trying to control his inner demon.
Suddenly, a warm current came over the leaves.
Wuwang was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"I will control Xu Chen, but little Tianji, please don't let me down." I can save all living things, but only you can save it.
