Chapter 1247 - (Title Is A Spoiler)

Unlike the rest of the mansion, there were no Christmas decorations in the indoor forest. There were, however, beautiful fairy lights hanging on some of the trees and shrubs, lightly swaying here and there like leisurely fireflies.

Iris and Jin Liwei, along with the butler, led everyone through the main trail to the centre of the indoor forest. Before long, they all saw the koi fish pond. There were gasps as their eyes feasted on the scene in front of them.

Small red candles were burning on top of lily pads floating on the pond. They cast a captivating illumination on the clear water, reaching underneath where the colourful koi fish swam curiously along the firelights.

Aboveground, two rows of bigger and taller candles lined up the edges of the mini bridge leading to the islet in the middle of the pond. A carpet of red rose petals covered the entire bridge.

Jin Chonglin stood just outside the pond while holding a video camera and recording everyone's arrival. He flashed them with his killer smile before nodding at his older brother.

Jin Liwei nodded back. He and Iris instructed everyone to stand a little farther away from the main trail and to keep quiet. While doing so, they all glanced at the islet in the middle of the pond.

Lu Zihao stood there together with two of his sworn brothers. He was busy listening to Wang Yingjie who was busy speaking to someone on the phone. Yu Mo circled around them and recording everything with a handheld video camera like Jin Chonglin.

Moments later, Jin Liwei shushed everyone. All the murmurings stopped. It didn't take long for footsteps to be heard. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"What's happening?" a female voice asked in a tiny, nervous voice.

"Relax," another female voice soothed her. "Everything will be fine."

Finally, everyone saw the new arrivals. Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan were leading a blindfolded Long Jinjing. Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui followed behind them.

Lin Yehan was also holding a video camera and recording the event. He gave a signal to his sworn brothers before looking at Jiang Ying Yue. She nodded and together with Lin Yehan, they both led the blindfolded Jiang Ying Yue on the bridge while Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui joined the rest of the spectators.

Jiang Ying Yue transferred Long Jinjing's hand to Lu Zihao before retreating.

"Zihao?" Long Jinjing asked, her voice a whisper.

"Hm, it's me," he replied.

She sighed in relief, her nervousness decreasing by half due to his presence alone. Although she couldn't see anything, she could hear the gentle splashes of water and smell the fresh earthy scent of nature. She knew that they were in the indoor forest. But that was it. She didn't know what was going on.

After she and Lu Zihao spoke to Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui earlier, Lu Zihao excused himself, leaving her to have some heart to heart talk with her father and stepmother. Later, Lin Yehan and Jiang Ying Yue arrived and blindfolded her, saying that she was among a small group of randomly chosen ones who were selected to win a big Christmas surprise.

She didn't doubt their claim for one bit because her sister Iris and brother-in-law Jin Liwei had always been excellent in throwing parties and making their guests enjoy themselves. Maybe this was another one of the couple's ways to liven up the atmosphere and make the Christmas gathering memorable for everyone.

Back to the present, Long Jinjing stuck close to Lu Zihao's side, taking comfort in his presence. Her excitement was quickly trumping over her nervousness.

Lu Zihao's lips touched her earlobe, causing her skin to flush red, before his devilish whisper asked, "Are you ready?"

She nodded like a pecking chicken. Finally, the cloth covering her eyes was removed. At first, she didn't notice anything amiss. She blinked her eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. Then she hesitated when she saw the setup around her.
