The Billionaire’s Unfulfilled Love

Yuan and Hope’s vacation ended with Yuan’s twin children. They returned to China together. Yuan prefers to spend the new year there. The Chinese have a lot of fun during the Lunar Year.

They celebrate with lion dances, dragon dances, fireworks, family gatherings, family dinners, visiting friends and relatives, giving gifts, decorating chunlians.

According to their belief, the New Year is celebrated for the feast. To honor their God and ancestors.

The night before New Year’s Day is often considered an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also a tradition in every family to thoroughly clean the house, to drive away any bad luck and bring in luck. Another custom is to decorate the windows and doors with red decorative paper and copla. Popular themes in these decorations include good fortune or happiness, wealth, and longevity. Other related activities include firing and giving money inside the ampaw.

“Dad, are the round fruits and candy ready?” Yohann asked. Yuan nodded.

A lot is ready at Yuan’s Ancestral House in Beijing, China. There are so many red lanterns hanging in every corner of their house.

Usually the preparation for the celebration is a month before the new year. Cleaning and beautifying the house, buying new clothes, cutting hair, are just some of the preparations for the celebration.

On the eve of the new year, it is celebrated by preparing foods with meanings such as Chinese dumplings which mean wealth because they resemble Ingots and almost all people, including children , was drinking “Jiu”, an alcoholic drink that meant longevity.

“Dad, why are you giving us red envelopes or something?” Dryce asked. Yes, right? all I know is that it’s blessings or for the money to increase every year.

“According to a legend often told by old people, a demon named Sui tapped a child on the forehead every New Year’s Eve, and the child developed a fever. The parents wrapped the coins in red paper and placed them next to of their child’s pillows. When Sui arrived, he was frightened by the sparkle of the coin. From then on, every New Year’s Eve, parents would wrap the coins in red paper to protect their children.” Yuan’s long story. Dryce and Yohann nodded.

“Wow! Is there something like that?” said Yohann. Yuan nodded.

I just realized now. They are gradually growing. Yuan’s twin children are now eleven years old. They grew up very handsome and very beautiful. They inherit from their father.

“Mom, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have dirt on my face?” Yuan asked. Hope shook her head.

“Nothing. I just noticed that you and Axendryce are growing up. It’s funny.” she said happily. Someone seemed to caress her heart when she said that comment.

Along with Hope’s comment, a series of fireworks went off outside the House. So they better go out to watch it. Many firecrackers and light Judas’ Belt as well as piccolos. Dryce and Yohann covered their ears. A happy smile appeared on their lips.

“Happy New Year!” they happily greeted each other.. Then they jumped at the same time. The coins jingled in their pockets.

After that they went to the elders to bless or pray.

Hope felt very annoyed when she saw Yuan’s parents but she just put it aside and made fun of them.

“Is he the one you’re going to marry, son?” Yuan’s Mommy said smiling. It’s old, but the sophistication is still there.

“Yes, ma.” Yuan responded sparingly after he blessed. The children are also blessed and Hope.

“I’m Hope Dreams.” Hope’s frugal introduction. She could not understand herself. She was disgusted by them. Maybe because the husband and wife used to make Hershey suffer.

Shw never thought that she would see the Lady in person and not just from the source she gathered.

“Dreams? Your famous and from the clan of a Billionaire’s family?” Yuan’s Mommy asked in disbelief.. Yuan scolded her. Hope just nodded so that it wouldn’t be said that she was very rude and sloppy.

“Hi, daughtwe. Welcome to our family.” Yuan’s father said happily. Hope almost vomited when he greeted her.. This is not how the husband and wife treated Hershey because it was difficult.

He smiled sparingly and said his blessing. Even Yohann and Dryce were annoyed because they found out what their grandfather and grandmother did to torture their mother. They just put it aside so there is no trouble.

They happily ate and celebrated the Chinese New Year. After that they sang and the children went to bed early. Yuan and Hope drink with Yuan’s famous Cousins. Hope said goodbye early because she couldn’t stand having sex with them. Most of all, he hates being oppressed by others and arrogant. He noticed that he really learned from their behavior and made fun of Hershey. She felt sorry for her because she became the toy of the rich and unfashionable.

“Why did you leave so early? Is that annoying?” Yuan asked. It turned out to follow Hope. He turned to Yuan and smiled sparingly.

“It’s not.. I’m just not really used to socializing with people before.” Hope reasoned but deep inside she wanted to retaliate and torture the people who tortured Hershey.. She was so used to them.

“Really? Let me accompany you until we both fall asleep.” Yuan said with a smile. He hugged Hope’s waist and Hope nodded in agreement.

“Are you okay here?” Yuan added.

“It’s fine. Why did you ask?” Hope asked.

“Nothing, I feel something is off. You don’t seem to like it here.” Yuan said laughing.. Hope didn’t answer and they stayed in that position until they decided to go to sleep after talking.
