Only you in my love novel Chapter 706

Michelle spent her Mid-Autumn Festival with the Shi family. And thanks to her, Lydia had finally stepped foot in a rich area for the very first time. The rows of villas along the Stone Road were brightly lit as if the Shi family was holding a banquet.

All the while, Lydia tried to keep a very low profile. Michelle didn't talk much either. But she would chat with the Shi family and smile at their jokes.

After dinner, Dora took the two of them outside where they could admire the moon and put the lotus-shaped lanterns on the river.

Michelle squatted down by the river and put down a lantern. She then closed her eyes and made her wishes.

Her first wish was that her parents could go home as soon as possible.

Her second wish was that Nina would come back soon as well.

And her third wish was about Leon.

"Lydia, do you think our wishes will really come true?" Michelle opened one of her eyes and glanced sideways at Lydia, who was also making her wishes.

Lydia seemed to be doing it fervently. When she opened her eyes, she said, "I believe that sincerity makes it true."

"Great!" Michelle quickly closed her eyes again and murmured, "Sincerity makes it true. Sincerity makes it true. Sincerity makes it true."

'Please make Leon fall in love with me.'

To show her sincerity, Michelle kept her eyes squeezed shut and prayed for more than half an hour. Then, she ran off to light up twenty more lanterns and made the same wishes again and again.

Admiring all the festive lanterns on the river, Michelle couldn't help but think that at least one of the lanterns would make her wishes come true. 'This shouldn't be considered as cheating, right?'

"Why did you put so many lanterns on the river, Michelle?" Lydia asked. She had long wanted to ask the question, but Michelle had been so busy with what she was doing.

Without thinking, Michelle blurted out, "Cheating."

Lydia was stunned.

It was then that Michelle realized what she had just said.

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head.

The night wind blew gently, caressing their faces like soft silk. At that moment, James approached Michelle while still busily typing on his phone. It seemed like he was replying to someone's message.

"Mimi, are you done with the lanterns? I'll be driving you and your friend back to your house."

"Yes, I'm done now," Michelle said.

Upon hearing their conversation, Dora came over and grasped Michelle's arm. "Why go home now? Stay here a bit longer."

James smacked Dora at the back of her head and said, "Mimi has something else to do at home."

Michelle seemed confused by this. "What do you mean?"

'Why do I not know this?'

"Well then, let's finish up this chat and go home now. Hurry up. I'll be driving you two back. I have something else to do as well," James urged. He was planning on celebrating the festival alone with his wife.

James drove them back to Michelle's house. As soon as they were out of the car, he stepped on the accelerator and quickly drove off to the road.

Meanwhile, Michelle's entire neighborhood was looking very lively. Many people were outside their houses, enjoying the moon. Children were running around. Their laughter rang out through the night air.

"It's so lively here." Looking at all these smiling faces, Lydia couldn't help but smile as well. "Back in my hometown, everyone also goes all out at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

They would bring out pots and pans up to the mountain to cook. They would also roast sweet potatoes." "Really? I like roasted sweet potatoes so much.

They are so sweet!"

Michelle exclaimed. "Me too!"

Lydia nodded eagerly.

"Ah, I want to go see your hometown."

"Maybe I can take you there after I finish my postgraduate entrance exam. We can then climb up the mountain and pick fresh fruits and fish in the fields. We might even catch some shrimps there. Our houses were made of wood, and getting there would be tough. There's no decent transportation that can take us directly. Also, there are so many mosquitoes in the summer." Lydia always wanted to bring her friends to her hometown, but she was afraid that they might dislike going to such a remote place. They were used to the city after all.

"That's okay. We can use mosquito repellent anyway. Will it be like the summers in Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons?" Michelle asked.

Lydia cleared her throat and said, "If you will be staying there for just a few days, you might think of it that way. I've been living there for so long that I don't think so."

"I really want to go."

Michelle smiled brightly at her. She had been spoiled by her parents. It was as if she had never known hardships at all.

It was then that Lydia couldn't help but feel envious. Nonetheless, she tried to keep her thoughts to herself.

She was jealous of Michelle for never having to worry about anything in her life. It also didn't help that Austin also had a crush on her. However, she was already used to this feeling.

Sighing, Lydia looked up to see a man wearing a suit standing by the door of Michelle's house. From afar, he looked like a noble man.
