Chapter 102 Christmas Arrangements

"Julia!" Zhen Fan knocked on the door of Annie's house, and it was Julia who opened it. Zhen Fan said hello, walked in, and nodded to Annie who stood up inside, "Annie!"

"Zhen, sit down, what do you want? Tea?"

Annie remembered that Zhen Fan liked to drink tea.

"Thank you!" Zhen Fan nodded.

Annie went to pour tea, Zhen Fan said to Julia: "It's time, go to my house!" Then he called to Annie: "Hey, Annie, I have prepared dinner for you, let's go together!"

"Claire hasn't come home yet!" Annie shook her head regretfully, "I'm going to pick her up later."

"It's ready for her too!" Zhen Fan said hastily, "We'll be together when Claire gets home."

A smile appeared on Annie's face. To be honest, she really wanted to go to Zhen Fan's house, chat, and talk. It felt a little scary to be alone at home. With Julia, Annie now liked the feeling of having a lot of people, even if it wasn't for For myself and for Claire, it would be great if she had a younger brother or sister!

Anne was lost in thought.

Several people sat and talked for a while, all centered on Zhen Fan's learning to drive. Julia seemed to like to talk about Zhen Fan's problems, and she laughed unscrupulously, which caused Annie to laugh along with her.

Well, this is a common problem among women, gossip and long tongue.

Zhen Fan also said that Julia was rigid, and described her as a nun in the monastery. At this point, Julia raised eyebrows and said that Zhen Fan was not manly, and Anne couldn't help it because of her appearance. laugh.

The purpose of the two of them is to make Annie happy, so this can be regarded as a little tacit understanding between the two of them.

After talking for a while, Annie stood up and looked at her watch.

"I have to pick up Claire, school is over!" Annie said, smiling apologetically at Zhen Fan, "I'm sorry, Zhen, sit with Julia for a while, and I'll be right back!"

"Be careful on the road, don't rush!"

Zhen Fan watched Annie go out and gave some advice.

Annie closed the door, and when she turned around, her eye circles turned red.

"You really know how to act!"

Zhen Fan sent Annie to the door, and when he closed the door and turned to walk towards the living room, he saw Julia smiling at him with a half-smile, with the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Of course, who told me to have a Hollywood star girlfriend? But, you are not bad!"

Zhen Fan responded not to be outdone.

"How to say?"

Julia watched him with interest.

"Because you have a friend who is good at acting like me!" Zhen Fan smiled and sat beside Julia, took a sip of tea, "You see it too?"

"It's obvious, why can't I see it?" Julia glanced at Zhen Fan with some disdain, "I think I need to spend more time with her, poor Anne!"

"I mean, have you seen the essence?" Zhen Fan put down his teacup and spread his hands, "Because of Thomas? I knew there would be problems with the original decision. It's just..."

Julia glanced at him curiously, shook her head and smiled: "What does this matter have to do with you? There must be a reason for Thomas not to go home, but I don't know if this reason is good or bad for Anne!"

"Want to know the result?"

Zhen Fan blinked at her.

"Don't play tricks, tell me! What's the reason?"

Julia patted Zhen Fan's thigh, which surprised him. Julia seldom made such outrageous gestures. More often, she acts like a quiet girl.

"Surprised you?" Julia smiled at Zhen Fan.

She did it on purpose, and Zhen Fan immediately realized it, shaking his head helplessly.

"Julia, maybe I'm wrong, but I have a hunch that Thomas must have a lover." Zhen Fan thought for a moment before saying it seriously.

In fact, when Anne picked Claire home that day, he quietly helped Thomas deduce it. After Thomas' fortune was changed, although some deduction appeared blurred, the general trend is still no problem.

Yes, Thomas committed a crime.

It must be an additional consequence of Zhen Fan's change of luck.

"Are you a master of prophecy?"

Julia didn't take Zhen Fan's words seriously. She had never seen the sudden change of Zhen Fan's luck for Thomas, so she didn't know Zhen Fan's ability at all.

"I hope I'm wrong!"

After hearing Zhen Fan's words, Julia's expression was not very good, and both of them lost interest in talking. After sitting quietly for a while, I heard the sound of the door opening.

"Uncle Zhen!"

As soon as the door opened, Claire flew to Zhen Fan's side, hugged Zhen Fan's waist tightly, arched her small face, and giggled.

"I want beef stew with potatoes!"

This snack.

The little guy is indeed a pistachio, as soon as he speaks, everyone laughs.

"Okay, Claire, I have prepared something better than stewed beef and potatoes today, let's go together!"

"Uncle Zhen is a good man!"

Claire immediately labeled Zhen Fan a good guy in a serious manner.

Seeing her appearance as a young adult, the three of them laughed again.

"Okay, ladies, do we still have to make our little princess wait?" Zhen Fan laughed loudly, hugged Claire and went out the door.

"Let's go!"

Julia followed Zhen Fan.

Annie followed Julia, watching Claire smiling happily in Zhen Fan's arms. The two of them seemed to be whispering. The rippling smile on Claire's baby fat face made Annie really feel at ease.

"Is this like a family?"

Such an idea jumped out of Annie's mind.

Soon she was intimidated by the thought of herself. Sighing lightly, he walked out.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with hot and cold dishes, and high-quality fruit wine brewed by Zhen Fan.

Claire couldn't wait to climb onto the table, watching Zhen Fan handing out plates and spoons.

"Can we start? Uncle Zhen?"

After the plates and spoons were set in front of Claire, she couldn't wait to speak out.

"Claire, don't forget our prayers!"

Anne stopped Claire's eagerness in time.

"All right!"

Claire's eyes were watery, and she gave Zhen Fan an aggrieved look, as if she wanted Zhen Fan to call the shots for her, and waited for Zhen Fan to set the tableware.

Anne, Claire, and Julia were all saying prayers before the meal.

Zhen Fan didn't speak. Although he didn't believe in God, there was no need to destroy other people's prayers. He sat quietly by his side, looked at Julia beside him with a very serious look, folded his hands, and suddenly felt that this girl It's really not ordinary beauty, especially when she is quiet and serious.

"...in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!"

"Amen!"

"Amen!"

The three women, big and small, finished praying.

"Can I start? Mom!"

Claire pursed her lips, looked at Annie, holding her breath, making people laugh.

"Okay, it's done!"

Annie smiled lovingly and patted her head.

Claire cheered, inserted a fork into a piece of steak in front of her, and couldn't wait to put it on the plate. This is her territory. Seeing her satisfied look, Zhen Fan smiled slightly.

"Zhen, do you have any plans for Christmas?"

Annie just took a sip of her wine, her face turned rosy, and she asked Zhen Fan.

"I haven't figured it out yet!" Zhen Fan shrugged, "This is the first time I will officially celebrate Christmas. You know, we Chinese all like to celebrate the Spring Festival!"

"I know!"

Julia spoke up right away.

"Last year's Spring Festival, Mr. President also paid New Year greetings to all Chinese on TV. If you have the opportunity to go to China to experience the Spring Festival for yourself, it might be very interesting!"

"Of course, the Spring Festival is the most lively, just like your Christmas!"

Zhen Fan nodded. He really had the idea of ​​bringing Julia and those Zoe and Christine to China for a Spring Festival.

"are you alone?"

Annie was obviously not concerned with that.

"We can have a boisterous Christmas together if we can."

Annie asked tentatively. If Zhen Fan can spend the holiday with them, then some family conflicts will be resolved, at least he can feel happier during Christmas, especially for Claire.

"Uncle Zhen—"

Claire actually stopped chewing, wrapped a mouthful of food, and looked at Zhen Fan eagerly.

"I like spending Christmas with Uncle Zhen."

Zhen Fan blinked at Claire and said with a smile, "Okay, spending Christmas with Claire should be a good experience."

When Annie heard what Zhen Fan said, she suddenly let out a long breath, maybe she was just waiting for such a result.

"What do I need to prepare?" Zhen Fan looked at Annie, "You know, I don't understand at all. If you want me to do something, just say it!"

"Of course!" Anne laughed immediately, "We need the cake you baked, and some of your Chinese food, we will have turkey, fruit, smoked ham, salmon, pudding...and of course steak. "

"It seems that I am very relaxed!" Zhen Fan smiled, "But these two days I saw a roast suckling pig for sale in the store, if possible, I will leave this to me. I will make a roast suckling pig myself!"

"If that's the case... of course it's the best!"

Annie smiled. Roast suckling pig is rarely used in ordinary families, but Zhen Fan mentioned it, so leave it to him. Anyway, no one can say no to the delicacies he cooks.

"God, I want to be with you!"

Julia couldn't help but sigh!
