Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu did not have any year-end activities. Since Number 1357 was by her side, she approved He Xiang’s leave so that she could return to her hometown to celebrate the New Year.
He Xiang got a flight ticket early the next morning, so she got up at 4:00 a.m. to pack her things.
At that time, Lin Shanchu had just fallen asleep and was sleeping soundly, so she did not hear any movements.
Lin Shanchu slept until noon.
The person beside her was already gone. Huo Xunzhou had already left early in the morning.
He had a lot of things to do at the company.
Lin Shanchu took it and saw that Huo Xunzhou had sent her several WeChat messages.
Huo Xunzhou: [Breakfast is in the kitchen. Warm it up and eat it after you wake up.]
Huo Xunzhou: [I have to attend a luncheon at noon. I’ll order some food for you and send it over.]
The first message was sent at 9:00 a.m.
The second message was sent just now.
Huo Xunzhou really considerate to her and even left breakfast for her.
In the end, she slept until noon.
However, Huo Xunzhou was really energetic. He had been tormented by her until midnight last night, but he was still able to get up early to make breakfast today.
Lin Shanchu guessed that he must still be busy, so she did not reply to him immediately. Instead, she decided to get up and wash up.
“He Kiang?” Lin Shanchu called out habitually after washing up and changing her clothes.
As a result, the person who ran over was not He Xiang, but Number 1357.
“Shanshan, you’re up!”
“Where’s He Xiang?”
“She flew back to her hometown early in the morning today to celebrate the New Year.”
Lin Shanchu paused with her half-stretched arm before she slowly replied,
“Oh.”
Staying up late really hurt her brain.
She actually forgot about this matter.
He Xiang even specifically told her before she went to bed yesterday that she would be flying back to her hometown early in the morning today.
“Looking at the time, she should have landed by now.” Number 1357 glanced at the clock on the wall.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.
The caller was He Xiang.
“Sister Lin, I just got off the plane. I’m going home by car.”
“Stay safe.”
He Xiang heard the tiredness in Lin Shanchu’s tone, she asked with a smile,
“Sister Lin, did you just get up?”
“…I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.” Her assistant knew her too well because she was even able to notice it.
Lin Shanchu was embarrassed.
He Xiang did not expose her. “Alright, I’m about to get in the car. Goodbye, Sister Lin!”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu went to the kitchen.
Huo Xunzhou’s sandwich was already cold in the fridge.
Lin Shanchu heated it up in the microwave, took a photo and sent it to Huo Xunzhou.
As she ate the sandwich, she walked out and sent Huo Xunzhou a message with one hand.
Someone knocked on the door. Number 1357 went to open the door and came back with a big box.
Lin Shanchu thought that the meal ordered by Huo Xunzhou had arrived, so she shouted, “Just put it in the dining room. I can eat it right after opening it.”
“It doesn’t look like food.” Number 1357 walked over with the box.
Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at the box.
The box was exquisite and elegant. It seem to be containing a gown and the like instead of food.
Lin Shanchu instructed, “Open it and take a look.”
Number 1357 opened the box and took out two sets of festive red outfits to show Lin Shanchu.
It was a men’s suit and a women’s woolen skirt.
The design was pretty good, but the color was too festive.
Which brand owner gave her and Huo Xunzhou the Spring Festival couple outfits?
Lin Shanchu took a closer look at the brand, but she could not remember working with this brand.
Just as she was about to call Qi Cheng to ask him, a new message appeared on her phone notification bar.
Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou had replied to her message, so she immediately turned on WeChat.
Huo Xunzhou was not the one who sent her a WeChat message, but his aunt. Huo Xunzhou’s aunt: [Shanshan, did you receive the things I sent you?]
Lin Shanchu looked at the festive couple outfit in front of er and replied: [Two sets of clothes?]
After asking the question, she took a photo and sent it to the aunt.
Huo Xunzhou’s aunt: [Yes, yes, yes! Isn’t it atmospheric when everyone wears red together for the New Year?]
Lin Shanchu: [Yes.]
Huo Xunzhou’s aunt: [Then how about you two just wear those two sets of clothes when you come home in two days?] Lin Shanchu: [Okay.]
She had no opinion on what to wear.
Moreover, red was indeed a festive color.
Before the two ended their conversation, the aunt specifically reminded her: [Make sure you let Zhouzhou wear it with you.]
Lin Shanchu vaguely understood why his aunt had sent the two sets of clothes to her.
Huo Xunzhou did not usually wear such bright-colored clothes, but his aunt was particular about etiquette and could not force him. She had no choice but to send the clothes to Lin Shanchu so that she could persuade him.
All the businessmen were scheming.
Huo Xunzhou was the most scheming.
After a while, the meal ordered by Huo Xunzhou was delivered.
When Lin Shanchu was about to take an afternoon nap after lunch, Huo Xunzhou replied to her message.
He called her directly after replying to the message. Lin Shanchu asked, “Are you done with your work?”
“Yeah, what are you doing?” he asked in a low voice.
“Did you drink?” Lin Shanchu asked, noticing that he was speaking much slower than usual.
“I drank a little.”
“Are you going to be busy for long?”
Lin Shanchu was already in vacation mode, waiting to celebrate the New Year.
“What’s the matter?” Huo Xunzhou chuckled. “Do you want me to accompany you?”
Lin Shanchu snorted. “Dream on. Yun Wu will be back tomorrow. There will be plenty of people asking me out.”
“Is that so?” Huo Xunzhou asked lazily. “What a pity.”
Lin Shanchu said a few words to him before yawning and hanging up the phone.
There were countless events at the end of the vear and various celebrities were vying for the popularity ranking.
Tang Qidai’s matter was quickly squeezed out of the trending list.
There were always so many new things in this world.
The netizens just watched the events unfold and enjoyed the juicy gossips, and then the world would be over.
However, it was not over for Lin Shanchu.
Yun Wu would come back the next afternoon. Last night, she excitedly flooded Lin Shanchu’s phone screen with messages to ask her where to have fun tomorrow.
Although Yun Wu would only return in the afternoon, Lin Shanchu woke up early in the morning.
It was because she was going to the detention center.
Tang Qidai was arrested and detained by the police on the day of the engagement party. Now, the police were waiting to collect evidence and put her on trial after the New Year.
Tang Qidai was surprised to see Lin Shanchu.
“What are you doing here?”
Lin Shanchu sized Tang Qidai up seriously.
Tang Qidai still had the same pitiful face that many fans had once adored.
Putting everything else aside, Tang Qidai was undoubtedly a beauty to have debuted.
However, she looked as if she had aged ten years. From her demeanor to her face, she exuded an aged aura.
When one faced true internal despair with their spirit collapsed, they would be ruined from the inside out.
Lin Shanchu could clearly see the white hair on Tang Qidai’s head. Tang Qidai followed her gaze and slowly ran her fingers through her hair.
“Lin Shanchu, you’ve won. You’ve won completely..”
