Chapter 142 Why Can’t It Be Made Public
As soon as Hua Xiali entered the door, she fell into an embrace. Huo Beixi picked her up and let her sit in his arms. Hua Xiali patted his arm in panic, "You lifted me up so high, what if someone sees us from outside the courtyard wall?"

"If someone sees us, just make it public. Our relationship is not something that can't be seen in public. We are openly boyfriend and girlfriend. If someone really sees us..."

"What do you want to do if someone sees us?" Hua Xiali lowered her head, her eyes full of threats. She didn't want to hear him say anything about giving up his job.

"Then I will work hard and strive to move up further." Huo Beixi said.

"That's about right." Although Huo Beixi's income was not as much as she earned from business, it was more stable. Most importantly, they were close to each other and could meet often. If he were engaged in other industries, it might be difficult for them to meet.

Coming to the kitchen, Huo Beixi put Hua Xiali on the bench and brought out the New Year's Eve dinner that was warm in the pot. Although it was just the two of them having the New Year's Eve dinner, he did not be perfunctory, but cooked several dishes seriously.

Hua Xiali had already eaten half full at home, so now he could eat a few bites with Huo Beixi.

Huo Beixi opened the soda, poured two cups, took the cup in his hand first, and said, "Happy New Year."

Hua Xiali clinked his cup and smiled, "Happy New Year."

"Thank you for coming to have New Year's Eve dinner with me. I finally don't have to eat it alone anymore." Thinking of the past, Huo Beixi's eyes became moist.

"We will have New Year's Eve dinner together every year from now on." Hua Xiali didn't know much about Huo Beixi's experiences from childhood to adulthood. The past was the past, and she would have the future!
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them sat down in the living room to rest. Huo Beixi suddenly said mysteriously, "Xia Li, close your eyes."

Hua Xiali was very surprised, but still closed her eyes. She wondered if Huo Beixi had secretly bought her a gift again. He seemed to like buying things for her very much.

Hua Xiali just closed her eyes with a smile on her lips, waiting for the surprise that Huo Beixi would bring her.

After a while, she really felt a slight coolness on her neck, but Huo Beixi didn't let her open her eyes, so she kept her eyes closed. However, she had already guessed what it was, but she didn't know what material it was. Huo Beixi would not buy a toy to fool her.

"Open your eyes!"

Hearing Huo Beixi's voice, Hua Xiali slowly opened her eyes, and saw a round plastic mirror in front of her. Her face appeared in the round mirror. She slowly looked down, and saw a hint of golden color on her fair neck in the mirror. Then she reached out and touched the golden thing.

How could one describe the size of this necklace? Hua Xiali thought about it and felt that the thickness of this necklace was about the same as the ink tube of the ballpoint pen refill in his previous life.

This is just the right size, not too thick, not too rich, not too thin, not too stingy, and there is a solid gold bean hanging below, which feels heavy, but it doesn't feel tiring to hang around the neck. "Why did you buy me something again?" Hua Xiali reached out and stroked the gold necklace, feeling very happy. Being remembered by others, he was naturally happy.

"Isn't it Chinese New Year? I just wanted to give you a New Year's gift." Huo Beixi put down the mirror. "It looks good when you wear it, so don't take it off. Besides, it's cold when you wear more clothes, so no one can see it if you wear it inside."

"Okay, I'll wear it." Hua Xiali said with a smile. Now that he was rich, he naturally couldn't be as shabby as before. However, he couldn't wear it so ostentatiously when he went out, so as not to attract people's attention.

After all, she had seen news in her previous life that many people's gold jewelry was snatched away by thieves on the street, so it was enough to wear some toy jewelry when going out. She had wholesaled a lot of beautiful toy jewelry, so it was okay to wear a different one every day.

Huo Beixi carried Hua Xiali over and placed her on his lap. He just looked at her without saying anything. Hua Xiali asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I also want to be like Leng Yuye, interacting with your family openly and participating in your family affairs openly." Huo Beixi looked at Hua Xiali with a hint of grievance in his eyes.

Hua Xiali was about to say something to comfort him, but Huo Beixi continued, "What else have you not finished? Why can't our relationship be made public? Can you tell me what plans you have?"

"Don't we have five villages under Qinglong Village? I now have a large warehouse in Huazhuang and grow vegetables. I also plan to invest in other villages to start businesses. I want to grow fruits, open a breeding farm, and raise freshwater clams. All of these require a lot of money. I'm afraid the money I have is not enough, so I want to earn more money and then start a business."

Huo Beixi asked in confusion, "You obviously have ways to make money, why do you want to start a business that has a slow return? Take growing fruits for example, it will take at least a few years to make money, and as for getting your money back, I don't know how many years it will take."

"You're right, so I haven't thought it through completely. Now I'm still hesitating!" Hua Xiali was thinking about whether she should start a business in the countryside or in the city. One advantage of starting a business in the countryside is that it will be demolished in the future, but if she starts a business in the city, whether it's a shop or land, the value will appreciate. In other words, no matter which direction she chooses, it will be feasible.

She hasn't made up her mind yet, so naturally she can't make it public. If she has decided to go to the city, then it would be fine to make it public.

Hua Xiali felt that she seemed a little greedy. In fact, she already had a lot now. She could just buy a few more houses in the city and wait for them to appreciate in value. This way, she wouldn't have to rush around every day.

"Soon, we can make our relationship public." Hua Xiali said seriously. Although her words sounded a bit like coaxing, she had no intention of deceiving his feelings.

Even when she knew that he might die, she never backed down. Even if she couldn't save him, she had already decided on him. This relationship was enough to sustain her throughout her life. Maybe they could meet again in the next life!

She had to stay up all night tonight, and every household had left the lights on, playing cards and having fun all night long. No one would pay attention to the time she went home, so Hua Xiali did not go home so early. Instead, she sat on the sofa with Huo Beixi, chatting with a blanket on their legs.

It was still a bit cold in the middle of the night, and they didn't have any heating measures here, not like the kang in the north, let alone heating, and not like braziers or fire buckets in some southern cities. Anyway, they had nothing here, but everyone got through the winter like that.
