Chapter 473: How Are You Planning To Compensate?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After this shoot, it would be the new year, so they would stop filming for an episode in between.
Shi Jin’s attention was focused on prescribing medicine for Fu Heyan and filming the movie.
Shen Xinghe was now famous. The director saw that Shen Xinghe had a good image and wanted to add a big scene for him. As a result, he spent more time on set.
When Shi Xuexin passed by and saw him, she rolled her eyes slightly.
Shen Xinghe could tell that Shi Xuexin was looking down on him. He had never intended to have anything to do with Shi Xuexin. They were merely maintaining a superficial relationship.
Shi Xuexin hid in the washroom and called Yu Xiuhua. “Mom, I will give you the things as soon as possible.”
“Alright, you must keep it a secret,” Yu Xiuhua said.
“I know. It also concerns my future.”
Shi Xuexin walked into the dressing room and found the clothes that Shen Xinghe had changed out of. She found a strand of hair on it.
This should be his hair.
Everything in the Shi family should be hers. Everyone else had nothing to do with it. Shi Jin couldn’t take it, neither could Shen Xinghe!

After filming today’s scenes, everyone had a few days off.
Shi Jin prepared to pack up and leave.
As she sent Old Master Li a message, she walked out. “Grandpa, I can’t come back before the new year. When I come back after the new year, I’ll accompany you for a few more days.”
“Alright. Anyway, I’m coming to the capital for two days during the new year. I’ll bring you the sweet potatoes.”
Shi Jin could not help laughing. “Save your energy. Be careful not to get arthritis.”

When it was the new year, Old Madam Fu suggested that the two families spend the year together.
She had also seen a lot of controversies online. Nowadays, children wanted to spend New Year’s with their families. However, the couple was usually busy and did not spend much time with each other. How could they separate them at such a crucial time? Hence, this suggestion was quickly accepted by everyone.
“I want to go home too.” Fu Heyan immediately raised her hand. “I’ll bring my mother-in-law along.”
“Okay, okay.” Old Madam Fu agreed.
Madam Qin had a good temper and was on good terms with Fu Heyan. She didn’t get mad because Fu Heyan wasn’t pregnant, so of course Old Madam Fu liked her.
Moreover, Madam Qin didn’t like Second Madam Qin’s family and Old Madam Qin, so she was satisfied with celebrating with her daughter in law’s family.
Hence, on that day, Shi Jin celebrated a grand and lively new year. Almost all of her family members were by her side.
At that moment, she felt a little dazed. Was this a dream?
When she came back to her senses, her gaze swept across everyone’s faces one by one before she gradually returned to her senses. She had never felt so peaceful and at ease before.
She tilted her head to look at Fu Xiuyuan’s cold and handsome side profile. Once the smile on her lips surfaced, it never fell again.
That night, even when Shi Jin returned to Orchid Pavilion, the smile and excitement on her face had not faded.
Having lived for two lifetimes, this was the happiest year of her life.
When she entered Orchid Pavilion, she saw that there were only two lights left in the usually brightly lit villa, barely enough to illuminate the way she and Fu Xiuyuan entered the house.
It was only then that she remembered that she had given Butler Chen and the rest a break.
Shi Jin reached out and turned on all the lights. The living room lit up.
She sat down on the sofa and placed all the red packets she had received on it. Her hands were sore from holding such a large stack. Fu Xiuyuan even helped her hold a bunch of them.
She was the youngest among the family members today, so everyone gave her red packets.
“I’ll come downstairs in a minute.” Fu Xiuyuan stood up and kissed her forehead.
Shi Jin nodded and watched him go to the kitchen.
Curious, she immediately followed him.
Through the crack of the door, she saw that Fu Xiuyuan was making a cake. The sweet smell of cream entered her nose. She couldn’t help pushing the door open.
Fu Xiuyuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular forearms. His movements weren’t very practiced, but compared to that time during her birthday, he was already much better.
“Mr. Fu…”
When Fu Xiuyuan heard her come in, the rose made of frosting was messed up.
He turned back helplessly. He suddenly thought of something and pressed the cream on the tip of Shi Jin’s nose.
Her skin was fair and delicate to begin with. With such a white rose embellished on her, her skin looked even whiter than cream.
“You made me mess up.” Fu Xiuyuan smiled at her. “How do you plan to compensate me?”
“How do you want me to compensate you?” Shi Jin looked up at him.
“Think about it yourself.” Fu Xiuyuan turned back to make the cake.
He rarely did such things, but because this was the first time he was celebrating such an important day with Shi Jin, he was willing to try anything.
Shi Jin secretly dipped her finger into the cake and reached over to his mouth. “Is this compensation enough?”
Fu Xiuyuan was unmoved.
Shi Jin touched a little of it to his lips and ducked into his arms. “Mr. Fu, how about this?”
Fu Xiuyuan looked at her red lips, his desire rising. He grabbed her and pressed her against the countertop, kissing her, only letting go of her when Shi Jin was panting slightly.
Shi Jin leaned her head on his shoulder. “Today, I feel like I’m dreaming.”
Fu Xiuyuan said in a low voice, “Me too.”
“If this is a dream, I want it to go on forever.”
“I hope so.”
Shi Jin jumped off the counter. “Mr. Fu, let’s continue making the cake together.”
The cream had been ruined by her. However, it did not prevent them from continuing.
Fu Xiuyuan held her hand and piped roses on the cake.
In the city, the countdown for the new year sounded. “…Three, two, one…”
Shi Jin turned around. “Mr. Fu, Happy New Year.”
“Mrs. Fu, Happy New Year.”

After the new year, the filming of “Love of a Lifetime” was quickly resumed.
Shen Xinghe’s important scene was about to begin. The reason this was important was because he had to film with Shi Jin.
As soon as he arrived, he brought along the snowflake pastries made by his mother to share with everyone.
Shi Jin opened the box and ate two. She also turned around and sent him a red packet on WeChat.
“This…” Shen Xinghe was embarrassed.
“You’ve already called me “Sis”, how can I not give you a red packet?” Shi Jin said, “Open it and accept it.”
Shen Xinghe opened the red packet and accepted it. However, seeing the amount he received, he was still a little speechless.
He turned around and sent a red packet to Shi Jin too.
Shi Jin smiled. “Why are you giving it back?”
“I’m not giving it back.. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I can’t possibly take your money and not give anything back, right?”
