A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 145 Revisiting Rome

The first day of the Lunar New Year marks the official start of a new year.

Early this morning, I turned on my phone and saw many WeChat messages from friends wishing me a Happy New Year.

Shen Nian clicked on each message and went back to the past.

I stayed up quite late yesterday and didn't check my phone before bed. I just wished everyone a Happy New Year in our dorm group chat.

After replying to the WeChat messages, there were still some text messages, mostly mass messages from banks and websites. Shen Nian glanced at them quickly and finally noticed a text message from a phone number she hadn't saved.

She clicked in.

I never expected it to be Chu Yunyi who posted it.

She probably deleted him from WeChat before, which is why he sent her the text message.

The text message read: "Happy New Year, Nian Nian!"

nothing special.

Shen Nian glanced at the message, but ultimately didn't reply.

She felt more at ease with Chu Yunyi than with her father, since they weren't related by blood. She chose to understand his choices back then, but that didn't mean she could ignore the hurt he had caused her.

So, it's best to just stop contacting him. She won't say "Happy New Year" to him anymore.

Shen Nian sat on the bed reading messages, while Mo Ze next to her also woke up.

"Uncle, did I wake you up?"

Mo Ze shielded his eyes from the morning sunlight with his arm, shook his head with a slight smile, and asked in a hoarse voice, "No, what time is it?"

Shen Nian glanced at her phone. "It's only seven o'clock."

I went to bed late last night and was planning to sleep in today, but I woke up this early anyway.

Mo Ze rolled over, stretched out his long arm, and wrapped it around Shen Nian's waist, muttering, "Sleep a little longer, it's still early."

Shen Nian lay down again.

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I ended up sleeping until 11 o'clock after taking a nap.

She woke up with a start, and seeing how late it was, she quickly sat up.

Moze also woke up.

He rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"It's eleven o'clock, too late." Shen Nian hurriedly got out of bed and put on her clothes.

Mo Ze also threw off the covers and got out of bed. "It's okay, I guess everyone is still asleep."

Shen Nian didn't believe it.

The two of them finished washing up in the bathroom of the room and then went out.

I happened to run into Mo Keke, who was yawning and had just gotten up.

The little girl was clearly still half asleep, and greeted Shen Nian and Mo Ze with sleepy eyes, "Good morning, Uncle. Good morning, Aunt."

Then, with his eyes half-closed, he slowly went downstairs.

Shen Nian glanced at Mo Ze, who smiled at her, took her hand, and followed Mo Keke downstairs.

Only the cleaning lady and the cook were in the living room on the first floor.

There is food on the table.

Mo Keke plopped down and asked the aunt, "Aunt Su, where are my parents?"

Aunt Su replied with a smile, "The master got up and took some food to the madam upstairs. They said they don't eat lunch. What would you like to eat? I'll go down and make it later."

Mo Keke yawned again, picked up a millet cake and started eating. "I'm not going to eat lunch either. I'll go take a nap later."

Shen Nian finally believed what Mo Ze had said.

It seems everyone stayed up too late last night to wait for the New Year's bells to ring.

After having breakfast, which was arguably lunchtime, Shen Nian and Mo Ze didn't ask Aunt Su to cook lunch again, and the two returned to their apartment.

Everyone else is still visiting relatives and friends and hasn't had time to get together yet.

Shen Nian and Mo Ze have relatively few entertainment activities.

With winter break still a while away and her uncle having about ten days off for the Spring Festival, Shen Nian suddenly thought of taking a spontaneous trip.

Moreover, their destination was very clear: the place where they first met.

--Rome.

The thought popped into my head, and although it was crazy, I couldn't control it at all.

Just thinking about it made Shen Nian excited and full of anticipation.

She tried asking Moze, "Uncle, is there anywhere you'd like to go during this time? We can go out and have some fun."

Moze looked at her, as if he immediately knew what she was thinking.

Smiling, she asked, "Where does Niannian want to go?"

Shen Nian bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I... want to go to Rome... is that okay?"

Moze was quite surprised when he heard Shen Nian say 'Rome'.

"Rome? You want to go to Rome?" he repeated.

Shen Nian nodded vigorously, "Yes, is that okay?"

Moze felt a pang of tenderness at her cautious demeanor. He patted her head and replied with a smile, "Of course! Let's pack our bags now and leave for Rome first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Really? Can we really go?" Shen Nian's face beamed with joy. She grabbed Mo Ze's arm and shook it, overjoyed.

“Really.” Moze gave her a definite answer again.

Shen Nian skipped and hopped off to pack her luggage.

Mo Ze didn't know why Shen Nian wanted to go to Rome, but since she wanted to go, he took her there.

No matter where!

The next morning, the two boarded a plane to Rome.

When they arrived in Rome, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon. After a flight of more than ten hours, Shen Nian did not feel tired at all.

After dropping off our luggage at the hotel, we went out with Moze.

Moze knew Rome very well and took Shen Nian to an authentic restaurant for dinner.

Authentic Italian pasta, mushroom soup, and steak.

Shen Nian ate with great relish.

“I didn’t get to eat such delicious pasta last time I came. I guess I really do need a guide,” Shen Nian said to Mo Ze with a smile as she ate.

Mo Ze remembered that she had mentioned before that her trip to Rome was a graduation trip, and she came with Chu Yunyi.

Someone is jealous.

She said sourly, "Didn't you do any research before you came last time?"

Shen Nian replied with a smile, "I didn't use any of the travel guides I did. I just walked around every day, and when I got tired, I would just randomly pick a restaurant to eat at. I ended up making a lot of mistakes."

“That kid surnamed Chu is so awful.” Mo Ze suddenly mentioned Chu Yunyi, and Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, immediately noticing that Mo Ze’s tone was off.

She laughed and nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty bad."

Now it was Moze's turn to be stunned.

Looking up, she met Shen Nian's sly smile, and then lowered her head and smiled back.

Okay, what's there to be embarrassed about being jealous!

After eating pasta, the two strolled hand in hand through the ancient streets of Rome, enjoying a romantic and leisurely time.

"How did you come to Rome?" Moze couldn't help but ask curiously.

Surely I'm not going to reminisce about the graduation trip I took with that guy surnamed Chu.

Shen Nian lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes, seemingly a little embarrassed to say it.

"Well... this is where I truly first met the older man, so... I want to come back again and create even better memories..."

Mo Ze paused, not expecting Shen Nian to be there for this reason.

"I originally wanted to stay at the same hotel as last time, but it seems there are no rooms available..." Shen Nian said to herself as she walked forward with her head down.

Noticing that Moze hadn't followed, she stopped and turned around. "W-what's wrong, Uncle?"

Mo Ze pulled her into his arms and kissed her rosy lips...

The passionate French kiss ended.

He whispered in Shen Nian's ear, "Niannian, I will definitely give you the most beautiful memories."
