So, Charlie replied, "Then you should hurry up and go back to accompany Uncle and Aunt. Help me to send a greeting to them. I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year!"
Quinn also replied, "Thank you, Charlie. I wish you a Happy New Year too!"
After that, Charlie put away his cell phone and he concentrated on watching the Spring Festival Gala with his wife, Claire.
When it was almost twelve o’clock at midnight, Jacob lamented, "Although it is really much more environmentally friendly now that firecrackers have been banned, the New Year atmosphere seems to be lacking. It is really a pity...”
"That’s right.’’ Claire who was aside could not help but sigh as she said, "When I was young, I especially liked the smell of the fire and smoke after the firecrackers are lit. It is rare for us to have the opportunity to see firecrackers nowadays."
Charlie replied, "Although we are not allowed to set off firecrackers in the urban area, it is still possible for us to set off firecrackers in the suburbs. Do you want to g o to the suburbs to celebrate and set off some firecrackers there?"
Claire’s eyes brightened immediately. However, her
eyes immediately dimmed in the next instant as she shook her head and said, "Forget it. Everyone is staying at home to celebrate the Spring Festival with their families at this time. Where will we be able to find any firecrackers?"
Charlie thought for a moment before he sent a message to Isaac, “Isaac, do you have any fireworks and firecrackers in stock in Shangri-La?"
Isaac immediately replied, "Yes, there is. Young Master, do you need it?"
"Yes." Charlie replied, "My wife wants to go to the suburbs to set off some firecrackers."
Isaac hurriedly said, "Then I will send it over to you."
"No need." Charlie replied, "You should enjoy the festival together with your family. Don't cause a delay i n your family reunion just because of me."
Charlie smiled slightly before he said in a loving and doting manner, "It's okay. Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."
After he was done speaking, Charlie stood up before h e took Claire's car keys in his hands and stepped out o f the house.
Claire wanted to stop him but she saw that he was walking really quickly and he had already stepped out of the house in a blink of an eye. So, Claire could only sigh helplessly as she said, "Drive slowly! There is no hurry!" 1
Charlie's voice sounded from outside the door, "Okay, wife! I got it!"
After seeing Charlie leave the house, Elaine sighed as she said, "Claire, I have to tell you something that I feel from the bottom of my heart. Charlie is really very good to you..." 1
After she was done speaking, Elaine lamented, "In the past, I used to think that Charlie was not good enough or worthy enough to be together with you. I thought that it would only be a good marriage if you were married to a rich and young man...but I did not realize that the most important time in a marriage is actually the foundation of the relationship. Whether he has money or not is not so important. What is most important is the fact that he treats you like a priceless treasure. That is how you will be able to live happily..."
