Between The Acts

It was a sunny and lively day on the beach at northern Coro Island.

It was the third week of December, and Christmas would arrive in a few days. The commercial street not far from the mansion had already set up a Christmas tree early and decorated the street with red ribbons. Girls in red cotton skirts distributed leaflets in the street to warm up the upcoming sales.

New Year's Day would be a few days after that. The red ribbons would then be replaced by red lanterns, the red cotton skirts would be replaced by cool cheongsams while the evergreen trees would stay there unchanged. It was a unique heritage in Xin to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day together.

Because it was Sunday, neither Xia Shiyu nor Natasha had to work. Early in the morning, Jiang Chen was dragged out of the door by two energetic women as they drove to the shopping district in the city center, where they went on a shopping spree.
