Chapter 822: New Years Plans

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

After resolving matters concerning the Ye family, Ye Lengan spent most of her time with Huangfu Ruiling. Of course, she didnt neglect her alchemy work either, occasionally setting aside a day or half a day for it.

In the blink of an eye, the new year was approaching.

Inside the CEOs office at Huangye Group, Huangfu Ruiling sat behind his desk, while this time, Ye Lengan wasnt sitting on the sofa as usual but across from him.

The new year is almost here. What are your plans? Ye Lengan raised her head, looking at Huangfu Ruiling, and asked, Are you going to spend the New Year at the ancestral mansion of the Huangfu family?

Last year, they spent the New Year together. However, it was because they were both overseas at the time. Hence, she wanted to confirm whether Huangfu Ruiling planned to return and celebrate with his family members.

Upon hearing Ye Lengans question, Huangfu Ruiling paused. He looked up, somewhat hesitantly, and asked, Do you want to go back for the New Year?

It didnt matter to him. Previously, he had only gone back to the ancestral mansion for the New Year because Ye Lengan wasnt in the picture. Therefore, he was fine with wherever she wanted to celebrate. Although he preferred being alone with Ye Lengan, if she wanted to return to the ancestral mansion, he was okay with that too.

No! Ye Lengan quickly shook her head. I just wanted to confirm your plans.

Wherever Huangfu Ruiling went, she would follow suit. Spending the New Year with the Huangfu family wasnt a big deal to her. Plus, she was confident that even if they celebrated at their ancestral mansion, no one would dare to give her trouble.

After her reply, Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow and asked, What do you suggest?

How about just the two of us celebrating? Ye Lengan pondered for a moment, then smiled. Besides, without you around, others might relax more!

This was true. Huangfu Ruilings mere presence could exert significant pressure without him needing to do anything.

Ye Lengans proposal suited Huangfu Ruilings thoughts. He nodded and continued, Where do you want to celebrate? Ill have it arranged.

Lets stay here in the capital. Ye Lengan suggested, No need to travel around. Well just celebrate in the villa. We can even give Sister Li some time off.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. Your decision.

Alright. After a moments thought, Ye Lengan added, Ill go shopping in the afternoon to see if theres anything we need for the New Year.

Huangfu Ruiling promptly offered, Then after lunch, Ill accompany you!

No need. Ye Lengan found it amusing. Im just getting some New Years essentials. You dont have to come. Focus on your work! Ensuring everything is arranged properly will make for a better celebration.

Hearing that, Huangfu Ruiling didnt insist. Okay then!

How time flies! She couldnt help but remark. This time last year, we werent even officially together. Now, were engaged.

At this point, she chuckled.

It was undeniable that a lot had happened since her rebirth. In her previous life, she would have never imagined falling for someone like Huangfu Ruiling.

Because from the first glance, he gave off a dangerous vibe. She had never imagined becoming his fiance.

Indeed, life was unpredictable!

Huangfu Ruiling seemed to reminisce about their past encounters, a hint of nostalgia on his face. Yes! But, I had already confessed to you back then.

However, Ye Lengan had yet to give her answer.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Lengan couldnt help but mock, You dare talk about confessing! Your confession wasnt even remotely romantic. Who confesses directly in a car, and in such an ambiguous manner?

She hadnt found it strange before, but looking back now, it seemed quite unreliable!

Facing her teasing, Huangfu Ruiling said nothing. At that time, he only had eyes for his target, without considering anything else. So, when he saw the right moment, he confessed directly.

Reflecting on it now, he felt a bit guilty.

Seeing Huangfu Ruilings expression, Ye Lengan naturally understood his thoughts. She didnt press further. After all, she wasnt seeking retribution, just making a light-hearted remark.

After lunch, Ye Lengan sent Huangfu Ruiling back to work at the company and then went to the mall herself.

As soon as she entered, the festive atmosphere of the approaching New Year enveloped her. Red decorations adorned the place, and many were busy shopping for New Year essentials.

Since she was only buying basic items, she didnt head to upscale malls, opting for more ordinary ones instead.

However, even in these standard malls, prices werent cheap.

Ye Lengan strolled leisurely, in no rush to buy everything. After all, there was still plenty of time before the New Year.

Ye Lengan!

As she wandered the mall, a familiar voice called her name from behind.

Turning around, she saw a familiar face and greeted with a polite smile, Cuian, its you! What brings you here?

Unaware that Zhou Cuian had also chosen to stay in the capital for the New Year, Ye Lengan was surprised. Previously, Zhu Bixuan had complained to her over the phone that Zhou Cuian had no plans to return home and was struggling to find a job in the capital that provided food, accommodation, and decent pay.

It turned out Zhou Cuian had found a job here, and it seemed to be going well.
