"You're right. She's really nice. I'll try then," he said.

"You should. You see, she's going be alone at New Year's, so you can contact her and celebrate the New Year with her. You can give her a surprise or something like that. As a woman, she'll be touched," Feng Ge suggested.

"Mom, I'll be on TV at New Year's," said Chi Shengxu helplessly.

"Then you can go and find her after finishing your work at the New Year's Gala. Make some time in your busy schedule. I'd be so touched that I'd even cry, if I were her," said his mother.

"It makes sense." Chi Shengxu ended the call, then found Luosang's number and called her. "Sangsang, where are you? I heard from my mom that Nian Junting went to my house to find you. Are you guys having a fight?"

"It's not really a fight. There's a small conflict. I came out alone to relax," said Luosang in a low voice. "I flew to Harbin last night. I want to see the scenery here."

"Why did you go there?"

"I've been spending this winter vacation in Xia City. It's not cold there, so I wanted to come to the North to see the snow. Since my dad went to prison, I haven't traveled so leisurely in a long time."

"Didn't you just go to Australia with Nian Junting?"

Luosang sighed silently. Australia had beautiful views indeed, but except for the first two days, she had almost spent the rest of the trip in bed with Nian Junting and had had no spare energy to enjoy the view.

"Do you plan to stay there for New Year's?"

"Yeah, then I'll fly to Shanghai for work on the second of next month."

"Take care of yourself then." Chi Shengxu hurriedly said, "It's freezing there, isn't it? Put on more clothes. Call me if you need anything. I have good friends who live there, and they can look after you. It's not safe for a girl to travel alone. I'm worried about you. You're like my little sister now."

"Thank you." Luosang smiled. Before New Year's Eve, she had finally sensed a trace of warmth.

...

Without Luosang, Nian Junting seemed to have lost his soul. Before attending his company's award party that night, he even got the buttons of his suit wrong.

While driving to the hotel, Lu Kang said to Nian Junting in a deep voice, "We're going to give the Year's Best Employee award to Fu Xuecheng from the Investment Department, with a bonus of $600,000."

"Six hundred thousand?" Nian Junting sneered. "Is your brain damaged? Why are you awarding an employee so much money?"

Lu Kang wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. "You said that this year is special, because you're no longer single, and that all the bonuses would be doubled."

"It's special, indeed. I had a girlfriend earlier this year, and now, at the last two days of this year, I actually am about to become single again." Nian Junting glared at Lu Kang. "I am so unhappy, but you're still thinking about the double bonus. Wake up! The bonus will remain the same as before."

The corners of Lu Kang's mouth twitched. "But I have released the news about double bonus already," he said. "The employees will feel miserable because you suddenly changed your mind."

"Is that right? You thought it would be full of delightful surprises, yet in the end, it became nothing but disappointment, like what I'm feeling right now," said Nian Junting coldly.

Lu Kang couldn't think of a word to say. At the awards party, employees' cries could be heard from every corner. Manager Zhao found Xiao Si and said bitterly, "Mr. Xiao, didn't people say that our bonus would be doubled this year? I have happily promised my wife a trip to Europe for shopping this New Year. I've even booked the air tickets and hotel."

Xiao Si patted him on his shoulder with pity and said, "You need to understand that Mr. Nian's girlfriend has run away."

"Did God send Mr. Nian's girlfriend to bring us pain?" Manager Zhao was even going to cry. "Next year, I'll lead the whole staff to kneel before her and beg her not to leave."

Xiao Si didn't know what to say.

When the party was about to end, Nian Junting got a call from Sister Lan. "Young Master, come back soon please. Your parents are fighting here."
