Chapter 258: I Promise You

As Rong Shen made dumplings, Jiang Bei called her family to wish them a Happy New Year. Hearing her conversation with her family from the kitchen, Rong Shen's heart churned like the dumplings in the boiling pot.

Initially, he intended to call Su Mu, but as Rong Shen walked out with two plates of dumplings at that moment, Jiang Bei dropped the idea of calling and hastily sent a text message instead: Susu, Happy New Year.

As midnight approached, the words about Rong Shen kept appearing more frequently in Jiang Bei's mind. She couldn't deny her nervousness, even looking around for something to defend herself with, only to have Rong Shen see right through her:
