After breakfast the next day, the Shen Residence started getting lively. Shen Yue and Uncle w.a.n.g were taking care of the plants in the yard as Shen Wenna and Aunt Xu were making dumplings for the reunion dinner. While City Z was in the north, many families had the practice of eating dumplings for their reunion dinner, so Shen Wenna made some too.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were handling the calligraphy couplets and lanterns.

They worked until 6 p.m. in the evening before the family had their reunion dinner joyously. Because the couple needed to hurry back to the Mu Residence, Shen Yue and Shen Wenna sent them off.

“I got Uncle w.a.n.g to put some gifts into the trunk. Give them to your grandparents and parents. Take some time to visit us after the New Year.” Shen Yue stood by the door and was starting to miss Xi Xiaye already.

In the end, the girl still had to go… Every time he thought about this, he felt like his treasure was being s.n.a.t.c.hed away, and he felt empty and sour inside.

“Please be happy and well, Chen. Send my regards to your parents and grandparents,” Shen Wenna told him.

The couple nodded. “Grandpa, Mother, please get back in. It’s pretty cold outside. I’ll be sure to return with Xiaye after the New Year.”

“Okay, get in the car. It’s getting late soon. They’re going to be worried!”

A rare gentle smile broke across Shen Wenna’s frigid face as she patted Xi Xiaye’s shoulder before she guided Shen Yue back into the house.

“Mmm, we’ll go now. Grandpa and Mother, please go back inside too.” Xi Xiaye felt a little sullen as she sat on the front pa.s.senger seat and waved to them.

“Remember to come back frequently. Give us a call before coming over. Grandpa will prepare your favorite dish at home. Maple Residence isn’t that far away from here…”

While Shen Yue’s voice sounded old, it had a very strong intent in it. Xi Xiaye nodded obediently.

The car started leaving the Shen Residence under the night sky.

The whole City Z was very lively. They could hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks and they pa.s.sed through the streets. One by one, the fireworks went off in the night sky and Xi Xiaye stared at them with her clear eyes.

Suddenly, her phone started vibrating at the side and she came back to her senses. Taking a glimpse, she noticed that it was Su Nan calling her.

“Su Nan?” She picked up the call.

“Xiaye? Happy New Year’s Eve!”

Su Nan’s sweet voice came over from the phone. “It’s the first day of the New Year tomorrow. Come out and relax tomorrow night!”

“Tomorrow night? Umm…”

Xi Xiaye looked at Mu Yuchen hesitantly while Su Nan just went on, “I know you’re a woman with a family right now, but aren’t I too? You know what? Bring your man over as well. I’ve booked a room at Emperor and invited a few good friends. You know some of them too! Consider it a celebration for both our marriages and also a New Year celebration…”

Su Nan’s voice bombarded her ears. Xi Xiaye hesitated before asking Mu Yuchen, “Su Nan’s inviting us for a gathering at Emperor. Do you…”

“You should go out and relax more. I won’t bother your friends’ gathering. Zhou Zimo has invited me to his place for cards, so you decide for yourself whether you want to follow me or go with your friends,” he replied quietly.

Xi Xiaye frowned slightly and after some consideration, she decided. “I’ll go with Su Nan then.”

“Mmm, I’ll send you over. Give me a call when you want to go back.”

She nodded and then said to Su Nan on the phone, “Su Nan, actually I just wanted to call you and invite both you and Ruan Heng over to the opening ceremony of Glory World Imperial Sky Entertainment City. Anyway, I’ll talk to you about it tomorrow night then.”

“The opening ceremony for Imperial Sky Entertainment City?” Su Nan screamed, “Really? Is it really okay for people like us to join such a significant event? I know that only big shots can join events like this.”

“Aren’t I inviting you to become our guest now? Sometime later, Fas.h.i.+on City under Imperial Sky is going to organize a fas.h.i.+on show and I’m sure you’ll be interested. Come over and take a look.”

…

Su Nan gladly accepted Xi Xiaye’s invitation.

Xi Xiaye hung up on the call and turned around to the man who was focusing on driving. “The PR Department is done sending out all the invitations, isn’t it?”

“They were done with it last night. They move pretty quickly,” Mu Yuchen replied.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “I’ll hand the invitations to Su Nan tomorrow then. There should be some invitations left at home, shouldn’t there?”

“Just get Ah Mo to send them over tomorrow. You can take charge of the opening ceremony. Ah Mo will be helping you.” Suddenly, he turned his head to look at her as he placed his hand onto hers. “There’s something I have to inform you about.”

“What is it?” She looked at his large hand in doubt.

He suddenly tightened his grip and said, “I’m going to City B right after the New Year, so I’ll leave things here to you. Can you handle it?”

“You’re going to City B?”

Xi Xiaye was surprised. No wonder he was leaving this matter in her hands. She frowned worriedly. “Is there something wrong with the partners.h.i.+p?”

“No, it’s about the actual contract signing as well as sending an inspection team. Coincidentally, the daughter of Chairman Li from the company we’re working with is getting married, so I might stay over for a night or two,” he replied indifferently.

“Mmm, then you should bring Ah Mo over. I can handle things here on my own. The PR Department has done most of the preparations, so I’m just overseeing things on that day.”

Xi Xiaye gave it some thought with a frown. “Don’t worry, Vice President Zhang is around as well. I’ll go to him for advice if anything comes up.”

“Wow, are you being a humble person now?” Mu Yuchen laughed as he moved his hand away. He put his arm over her shoulder and she did not struggle this time. Scoffing, she looked at him. “I’ve always been a humble person. When are you going?”

“I’ll go by the evening of the second day after the New Year. I’ll be back in time for the opening ceremony.”

She hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Mmm, get enough rest these two days then. It’s going to be pretty tiring for you. After the opening ceremony, most of our projects will go into a more relaxed phase.”

“Are you concerned about me?” A smile appeared on his handsome face as he heard her words, his grip on her shoulder tightening slightly.

Xi Xiaye just stared at him without saying anything.
