Chapter 64
Yu Wan didn’t expect Li Shen would make such a big decision while she was sleeping. After she hung up, she went on Weibo to check it out. Sure enough, Weibo is in a frenzy.
Guangchen’s official account posted that Li Shen formally signed a contract with them and will release a new single soon. Li Shen also reposted their Weibo and asked everyone to look forward to his new song. Immediately afterward, Xingyao also released a statement saying they have officially terminated their contract with Li Shen.
This was the biggest news on the first day of the new year. Before the netizens could happily spend their holiday they were busy watching the show. Before they could fully digest the situation, Chi Lu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reappeared and posted a lengthy statement exposing Li Shen’s romantic life.
It has been almost two months since thousands of people asked for her resignation. During this period, she did not post on Weibo. Even when fans were beating her on Weibo from time to time, she did not respond.
However, after Li Shen announced his contract termination with Xingyao, she released a thousand-word post responding to all the previous queries. She accused the person who exposed the news of having sinister intentions and denied having any romantic thoughts toward Li Shen. She only disapproved of him being in a relationship which is why they poured all the dirty water on her.
This Weibo post is obviously more popular than Li Shen's signing with Guangchen. After all, the celebrity's personal life can attract more attention.
So, the number one spot on the hot search was occupied by “Li Shen’s termination,” then it was changed to “Li Shen signed with Guangchen Records” and finally it was “former agent expose Li Shen’s secret relationship.”
New year, a new beginning, new drama.
“As soon as Brother Shen announced his contract termination, you quickly released a long statement. So efficient [smile] How long in advance did you prepare this Weibo post? Were you waiting for this day? [smile]”
“When I scolded you before, you didn’t even do anything. Now you reacted so fast [smile]”
“Has some reservations about being in a romantic relationship but Chi Lu said that she had no thoughts toward Li Shen. I don’t believe it. [laugh cry]”
“So much gossip on the first day of the new year. This year will be full of harvest [eats melon]”
“Xingyao is really petty. Li Shen can’t terminate his contract without paying for some damages. Since everything is going by the contract, you broke the news as soon as he left. What is this? [smile] I think Li Shen did the right thing to leave."
“I don’t believe a word you said. Waiting for Li Shen to respond. [smile]”
“According to Chi Lu’s statement, Li Shen has gotten back together with his first love from college?? A man can’t forget his first love [laugh cry]”
“Honestly speaking, I also think that Brother Shen is in love [covers face] His recent Weibo posts are very sweet, at first glance, it looks like a man in love. [covers face]”
“I don’t believe it until Brother Shen admits to it [smile]”
“I really don’t understand your fans. Who cares if he is in love. Li Shen is 25 and he still can’t date? Celebrities don’t have human rights?”
“I suspect that Li Shen moved to Guangchen because Xingyao doesn’t allow their artists to date [covers face]”
“I think what the person above said is true. After all Qiao Yichen himself is
“If you’re not a fan, don’t say that it is okay for celebrities to date [smile] Anyway, if it is true that he is dating, I will not be his fan anymore. I won’t buy his new song [goodbye]”
"Because Li Shen is in love, you’re not going to buy his new single. Li Shen’s music is not so cheap [smile] If you don’t buy it, I’ll buy more of it [smile]"
“Ummm, I like Li Shen's songs very much. I hope he can develop better after he goes to Guangchen. As for his love life, I don’t care as long as it doesn't affect his singing."
Li Shen also saw Chi Lu’s Weibo on the way home. His face immediately sank. It’s really not surprising that Chi Lu would do such a thing. He read her post very carefully. It didn’t mention any of Yu Wan’s personal information, only that they met again at a wedding. This eased his expression a little.
When Li Shen signed a contract with Guangchen, Xiao Dong also followed along and signed on to be his assistant again. When the car passed through Lize Park, Park was heard playing inside. Xiao Dong was a little excited and wanted Li Shen to listen but when she saw him sitting in the back seat with a grim look on his face, she decided against it.
Before he arrived home, Li Shen received a call. Li Shen thought it might be Guangchen but when he looked down at the screen, he saw that it was his mother.
He answered the call and warmly said, “Mom, what is it?”
“Shenshen, your aunt called me earlier and said she read online that you and your first love got back together. Is that true?”
Li Shen hadn’t told his mother that he and Yu Wan are back together. He didn’t expect her to find out this way. Li Shen sighed, “It’s true.”
Li Shen’s mother was quiet for a while before she spoke again, “Your first love, is it, Yu Wan?”
In his fourth year of college, Li Shen phoned her that he has a girlfriend for the first time. He even said that he will introduce his girlfriend to her in the New Year. Listening to Li Shen’s tone, she can tell that he likes her very much. It’s a pity that they broke up before the New Year and Li Shen joined the army.
She kept thinking it was because of that girl named Yu Wan.
“You still remember her?” Li Shen was surprised. It had been so long since then and he had only mentioned Yu Wan to her over the phone. It is surprising that she still remembers.
Li Shen’s mother laughed, "Of course. After all, that was the first time you introduced me to a girl. You were so happy at the time, and I wondered how good this girl named Yu Wan was that made you like her so much.”
Li Shen pursed his lips. His mother continued, “I didn’t expect you two to get back together.”
After so many years, he hadn’t let her go.
“I’ll take her home during Chinese New Year to meet you.”
Li Shen’s mother laughed, “You’re not going to stand me up again right?”
Li Shen also chuckled, “No, I will definitely bring her home this year.”
After talking on the phone with his mother, Xiao Dong also drove the car into Li Shen's garage. Yu Wan heard the sound and glanced down from the balcony. As expected, Li Shen had returned.
Xiao Dong drove away after sending Li Shen home. Li Shen walked into the house and said that he bought the stuff he mentioned.
Yu Wan came downstairs and saw Li Shen setting up the table, “Was that Xiao Dong earlier?”
“En, she followed me to Guangchen.”
“Oh, that’s good.” Yu Wan walked to the dining table and glanced at the food he brought back. She hesitated, “Did you see it on Weibo?”
Li Shen paused and nodded, “Yes. Although Chi Lu didn’t release your personal information, you shouldn’t carelessly run around the next few days. If you need to see people for work, ask to meet here.”
Yu Wan thought for a while and nodded, “Ok, I understand.”
“By the way, my mom just called me and asked about what is going on on Weibo.” Li Shen set the chopsticks and leaned on the table as he looked at her, “I told her that I will take you back for Chinese New Year. Is that ok?”
Yu Wan froze. In the new year, she suffered from three different shocks. Going to meet Li Shen’s mother all of a sudden was the biggest shock of all.
“Yes.” Yu Wan quickly tried to improve her mentality. Li Shen had already visited her parents. Now, it is her turn to follow him home during the Chinese New Year!
Li Shen noticed Yu Wan’s nervousness and rubbed her head as he smiled at her, “Don’t be afraid. Although it is only Chinese New Year, there will be no relatives the day I bring you home.”
“Okay.” Chinese New Year is relatively early this year. Yu Wan needs to start thinking about what to prepare for Li Shen’s parents.
While she was thinking about it, Li Shen called her, “How much did you drink last night?”
“.....”
She thought Li Shen would have forgotten about it after this big matter. She didn’t expect him to remember it.
“Uh, not much. Just two cups.”
“Oh?” Li Shen raised a brow, “How big are these two cups?”
“.....”
Unexpectedly, she can’t fool him!
“……”
“....Right, did you buy me medicine? My head still hurts.” Yu Wan rubbed her temple. Li Shen helplessly sat up and pulled out a chair. “Eat first then take your medicine.”
“Okay.” Yu Wan smiled and sat down.
After eating, Li Shen went out in the afternoon, saying he has to go to Guangchen to record. Yu Wan remembered that Guangchen’s post mentions that Li Shen is going to release a new song soon. She is looking forward to it.
Li Shen did not respond to what is happening on Weibo, nor did his new record label Guangchen. Li Shen just goes to the company every day and seems to be very busy.
There are fans on the internet every day asking Li Shen about his relationship. There are also people on Chi Lu’s Weibo trying to look for information. Some haters even tried to provoke Chi Lu and demand proof but she never posted anything else.
In the middle of the month, Li Shen’s new song came out. Guangchen's promotion was indeed not as strong as Xingyao’s. There were no big advertisements before the release, only two Weibo notices.
It’s not that Guangchen doesn’t have the money for advertising, since Li Shen is already at the center of a storm, too much exposure can backfire. This is also what Li Shen wanted. It’s not that he doesn’t intend to respond to the dating rumors, he just wants to respond with his music.
Li Shen V: My new song Love Letter will be available on all major music platforms at noon today. Thank you for your support along the way. [Photo]
The picture he posted is the cover of his new single. He is wearing a formal suit and holding a bouquet of roses like a groom about to enter the wedding hall.
The picture showed his side profile. Light shone from behind him, highlighting each strand of his soft golden edge.
This is his first post of the year. In a few seconds, there are already over a thousand comments.
“Ahhhh, Brother Shen finally posted on Weibo! [shed tears]”
“Brother Shen is handsome!! So freaking handsome!!”
“Hehe, didn’t respond to the dating rumors but promoted his new upcoming song [smile]”
“Li Shen’s job is to sing, not to respond to rumors [picks nose]”
“The new song is called Love Letter and the cover looks like a wedding picture. My heart is fluttering [covers face]”
“A new single is being released so fast! Anyway, I am looking forward to the first song collaboration between Brother Shen and Qiao Yichen!"
“Shenshen, tell Mom. Are you dating? [shed tears]”
“Waiting for noon!”
At 12 o’clock, Li Shen’s new song went online on time. Yu Wan bought it as soon as it went public.
Love Letter continues Li Shen’s signature gentle and lyrical style. When he sang the first note, the hearts of the listeners trembled.
“My love, this is a love letter for you
I must be lucky to have an opportunity to sing for you
When I met you for the first time,
I was fascinated by your smile.
Walking by your side
Is a gift from heaven
Down the road, there are some tumbles
But with you by my side, I am willing to bear the pains
I will bear the most beautiful ring for you
And stand here and to all the gods I swear,
From here on out, for better or worse
No matter how old we are, we will never part
My love, this is a love letter for you.
Your name is on every line
My love for you is eternal”
Chapter 65
The beautiful and affectionate melody coupled with Li Shen's uniquely soft and magnetic voice instantly drew all listeners into a trance.
This is a song that you can help but play over and over.
After the release of the new song, the sales were not as good as Heartstring. This caused many haters to gloat and wait for Li Shen’s downfall.
Some of Li Shen’s fans announced that they will stop being his fans and will not buy his new song. This made Yu Wan worry about Li Shen’s sales. Fortunately, although Love Letter did not get as popular as Heartstring, the sales are growing steadily. She was a little relieved.
Heartstring is the theme song of a TV series so it was popular even before its release. Love Letter is a new song, it is normal for the data to lag in the beginning. She listened to Love Letter and knows that it is a good song. She believes that with time, it will certainly not lose to Heartstring.
Yu Wan registered a few side accounts to buy Li Shen’s new song. She didn’t expect she would do this kind of thing.
While she was helping Li Shen improve his sales, he called her, “Did you listen to my new song?”
“Yes! I also created a lot of fake accounts to buy your song!”
“....” Li Shen was silent for a moment, “Is this important?”
“Of course it’s important. I can’t let those haters be too arrogant!”
Li Shen was dumbfounded by her words, “After listening to my song, you only think about the data?
“....No, your new song is amazing! It sounds so nice! I feel touched listening to it. I’m playing it in a loop right now!”
This isn’t Yu Wan’s biased opinion, it is what people who bought the songs are saying. Some even said that this is Li Shen’s way of admitting his relationship. There are also fans who are hard at words praising this new song. Even Gu Xin, Ding Meng, and Sima Xiaoxiao specially posted on Weibo to praise his song.
Li Shen chuckled and asked, “After listening to my song, don’t you want to get married?”
“....” Yu Wan was silent for a while, “It’s really suitable for weddings. Many people in the wedding industry have already shared this song. My friends in the wedding industry are also posting about it on WeChat.”
“This song is for you.”
A blush crept up Yu Wan’s face as she replied with a soft “Oh.”
“Pay attention to my Weibo later.”
Yu Wan’s heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and said “ok.”
After talking on the phone with Li Shen, she didn’t continue working. She went to the living room and held Lili while she went on Li Shen’s Weibo.
The most recent post is still the one promoting his new song. Currently, there are over 100,000 reposts and comments. She refreshed the page a couple of times until she saw Li Shen’s new post pop up.
Yu Wan silently took a deep breath and read it.
Li Shen V: I met her when I was 20 years old. When I was 21, she chose to break up with me so I can further my career. At 24, I met her again. Fortunately, I still had the chance to be together with her. When I was still in my fourth year of college, I couldn’t do anything. Now I am 25 years old. This time, I will change my role to protect her.
Yu Wan blankly stared at Li Shen’s post. Love Letter played on a loop in her ear. Before she knew it, tears flowed down his face.
The fans were also in a frenzy under Li Shen’s Weibo.
“??? Shenshen, what did you say? You’ve really grown up. Mom is sad, but is touched [sheds tears]”
“Is it Brother Shen’s Lily? Love Letter was also written for her, right? I actually cried after reading this post and listening to Love Letter [covers face]”
“Finally admitted it [eats melon]”
“You will do anything to promote your new song [smile]”
“Is the person upstairs an idiot? When Brother Shen didn’t respond, you pestered him to respond. Now that he responded, you scold him [smile]”
“I already guessed it after listening to Love Letter. This song is Li Shen’s response _(:з∠)_”
“I don’t know who Lily is but she is the luckiest woman in the world!! Brother Shen wrote many love songs for her!!”
“Although I am envious, I feel that Brother Shen really loves her. Also, it’s hard for these two people to get together [sour][sour][sour]”
“....As long as you don’t announce your marriage, I can bear with it.”
“Since you say it like that, I won’t buy your new song. Make me spend my money on you so you can date? [smile]”
“I like Li Shen’s songs. This new song Love Letter is also amazing. It lives up to Li Shen and Qiao Yichen’s names. I will you happiness~”
“I wondered a long time ago why Lily would break up with you! So it turns out it was for your development! I don’t know what to say, I hope Lily can take good care of you!”
Yu Wan’s hand was shaking. She sent a message to Li Shen, “Is this your public announcement of our relationship?”
Ah Shen: En, I already spoke to the company about it. When I asked Qiao Yichen, he replied, “What does your love life have to do with me? You’re not my wife.” [smile]
Lily: Hahaha
Lily: Will it affect your career?
Ah Shen: Chi Lu already posted that kind of statement already. We don’t need to hide it anymore. As for its impact, I hope everyone likes my music more than they like me.
Lily: En!! I believe in you! Your music is enough to make people like you!
Ah Shen: [heart]
Ah Shen: But I will not reveal your information. I hope it will not affect you.
Lily: I’m fine, hahaha. Good luck! I will continue to make accounts to buy your song!
Ah Shen: ….
After going out of WeChat, Yu Wan felt even more motivated. Li Shen’s acknowledgment of his relationship soon ended up on the hot search. With this, the sales for Love Letter quickly rose. However, the main reason for Love Letter’s popularity is thanks to the wedding circle.
Not many couples choose to get married in the winter but most of the couples will pick Love Letter as their wedding song. It seems that it is a more popular wedding song than Sima Xiaoxiao’s You&Me.
Even in the song reviews, words like “marriage” appear frequently.
“Ahhhh, this song is so good! I want to get married after listening to it! But I don’t even have a boyfriend!”
“I’m getting married in March. I will play this in at the wedding.”
“This song is really magical. I want to get married even though I don’t want to get married [covers face]”
“Li Shen’s Love Letter will make people feel happy and warm.”
“This song reminds me of Lily. All of Li Shen’s love song was written for her [sheds tears]”
“Every time I listen to this song, I will cry whenever I think of Li Shen singing to Lily [cries]”
“Although I am a single dog, I stubbornly added this song to the wedding playlist [laugh cries]”
“I’m crying. I suddenly remembered my ex-boyfriend who clearly said he will let me wear a wedding dress.”
Because of Love Letter’s popularity and overwhelming feedback, many fans who previously threatened not to buy Li Shen’s new song returned and gave their own opinion–––
“So sweet.”
The person who can feel the momentous popularity of Love Letter is Yu Wan. As someone in the wedding industry, most of her friends on WeChat are those in the industry as well. Every day, she can hear this song being played at other people’s weddings.
She saw another bride on her WeChat Moments burst into tears when Love Letter sounded. Yu Wan couldn’t help but ridicule Li Shen who was in the kitchen, “Now all the weddings across the country are playing your Love Letter.”
Li Shen tasted the soup with a spoon. Then he turned around and smiled at Yu Wan, “I heard from Gu Xin that Chen Shishi is also clamoring to play this song at the wedding.”
Yu Wan shook her head, “No, she didn’t ask to play. She wants you to sing it live.”
“Hahaha.” Li Shen smiled, “Gu Xin regrets recommending my song.”
Having said that, Yu Wan’s face turned serious, “Gu Xin invited you to the wedding right? Did you agree to sing?”
“En,” He laughed again, “Gu Xin will die of anger when I go up to sing at his wedding.
“.....”
This person acting arrogant again because of his new song!
“I won’t invite other singers to my wedding. I will sing whatever song you want to listen to.” Li Shen’s voice carried some ambiguity.
Yu Wan’s heart heated up. She turned her eyes away and asked, “Is the soup ready yet?”
“Yes,” Li Shen turned off the stove. Instead of serving the soup, he stepped forward and hugged her. He looked at her slightly red ear, “Tomorrow is the 30th. Ready to go home with me?”
Chapter 66
Yu Wan had mentally prepared herself for this. But the day before meeting his parents, she was so nervous, she couldn’t sleep.
Fortunately, this time, Li Shen is also bringing Lili along. Yu Wan felt more at ease with an extra partner. At least Lili can help attract some of the attention away from her.
On the 30th, Xiao Dong came early in the morning to take them to the airport. Yu Wan felt a bit apologetic toward Xiao Dong when she saw her, “You still have to work on the 30th?”
“I can go home after sending you off to the airport!” She added, “You should spend a few more days in Li Shen’s hometown. That way, I can have more days off.”
Yu Wan felt her face heat up when she said it. Li Shen settled down Lili and sat beside Yu Wan, “All right, let’s get going. If you want to take days off, I can a few more assistants.”
“No need, I really like my job!” Xiao Dong immediately started the car and head out.
At the airport, Xiao Dong escorted them to the VIP lounge. In order to be on the safe side, Li Shen still wore a mask and hat, Only his eyes are exposed.
He held the gift Yu Wan prepared in one hand and Yu Wan’s hand in the other while he walked in a hurry. Xiao Dong took a picture of their back and murmured, “Even though Brother Shen is all covered up, he is still handsome.”
Their flight was delayed due to the weather. Yu Wan was a bit worried about Lili and wanted to talk to Li Shen about it. She saw him put down the phone and said to her, “My auntie will pick us up at the airport later.”
Yu Wan blanked. “Didn’t you say it is your mom and dad?”
Li Shen sighed, “My dad has a loose mouth. After my auntie found out, she insisted on coming to meet you. But don’t worry, although my auntie can be a bit animated at times, she is easy to get along with.”
“But I didn’t prepare a gift for her.” Because Li Shen said that it was going to be his parents, she only prepared gifts for them. “Why don’t I go out and buy something for her.”
“It’s okay. My auntie doesn’t care about these formalities. Besides, it’s almost time to board the plane. If you still want to buy something, you can just buy it when we arrive.”
Yu Wan thought about it and nodded, “All right.”
As soon as they finished talking, the staff came over and told them it was time to board. Li Shen carried their stuff and reached out to Yu Wan’s hand, “Let’s go.”
“Ok.”
After the staff sent them to board the plane, a few of the workers started whispering among themselves, “That’s Li Shen’s girlfriend right?”
"It must be. This flight is to Li Shen's hometown. He is taking his girlfriend home to meet his parents!!"
“Ahhh, are they going to get married??”
“Not necessarily.” Worker A paused and said, “Maybe they already got married.”
"..." It makes sense.
A little over an hour later, the plane landed at its destination. Li Shen and Yu Wan only brought their carry-on with them and only needed to pick up Lili.
Lili was gloomy after being detained for so long. When she saw Li Shen, she immediately jumped into his arms. Yu Wan smiled, “Lili loves you so much. You have to treat her well.”
Li Shen soothed Lili’s emotions as he said, “Am I not treating her well enough? I didn’t hurt her when she ate my flowers.”
“Hahaha.” Yu Wan couldn’t help but laugh as she thought about the flowers Lili ate one time. Li Shen spent a few hundred dollars on those flowers and although it is not too expensive, it is difficult to maintain it in the winter. It took a lot of effort for it to bloom. Even though it was able to survive the winter, it wasn’t able to survive Lili.
The second day the flowers bloomed, it was bitten off by Lili.
“Next time you should build a cage and put the flowers in it.” Yu Wan suggested.
“I want to lock up Lili more.”
As they were talking, Li Shen’s phone rang in his coat pocket. He took it out and saw it was Auntie calling, “Auntie? En, we just landed. Okay, we’re coming over right now.”
Yu Wan felt a bit nervous when he hung up, “Is your auntie rushing us over?”
“En. She has been waiting for a while. Let’s go over.”
“But I haven’t gotten her a gift…”
Li Shen looked at her and smiled, “She came to see you. To her, you are the best gift.”
“.....”
All right, she can’t explain it to him.
Li Shen and Yu Wan left through the VIP passageway. His auntie’s car isn’t parked too far away so when she saw them come out, she honked and lowered the window as she shouted to them, “Here.”
Yu Wan looked over. Li Shen’s auntie took off her big sunglasses and smiled as she waved at them.
Yu Wan also smiled at her and asked Li Shen, “Is she your auntie?”
“En.” Li Shen sped up his pace and led her over.
“Your auntie is very fashionable.”
“Yes.” Li Shen laughed then lowered his voice, “Auntie hasn’t married yet so don’t ask her about uncle and anything else.”
“Oh, okay.” Yu Wan nodded and made a note of it.
After getting in the car, Yu Wan took the lead to greet her, “Hello, auntie. I’m Yu Wan. Thank you for picking us up.”
“No need to be courteous, we’re all family.” Auntie put on her gloves and started the car. She looked at Yu Wan through the rearview mirror and smiled, “Have you had lunch?”
“En, we ate on the plane.”
“Do you want to eat something?”
Li Shen interjected, “No, we’ll have dinner in a while. My mom will definitely prepare a lot of dishes tonight. Let’s eat then.”
Auntie gave him a cold stare, “I wasn’t asking you. What if Xiao Yu is hungry? Do you want her to starve before dinner?”
Yu Wan hurriedly said, “I’m not hungry. Thank you, Auntie.”
“Well then, there are a lot of snacks at home that you can eat. What about your dog? Can it eat anything?”
Li Shen replied, “I brought the dog food she usually likes to eat.”
Auntie laughed, “She eats dog food? I thought she only eats flowers.”
“....”
Lili’s accomplishment had been spread to his Moments.
Because it is the eve of the spring festival, the road was more congested than usual. They were stuck on the road for a while, and they didn't get home until four o'clock.
Although there is still some time before dinner, the moment Yu Wan stepped into the house, Yu Wan could smell the fragrance of food. Li Shen’s mother is still busy in the kitchen so Li Shen’s father was the one who opened the door. His father was surprised when he saw Yu Wan and Li Shen standing outside the door. Then he hurriedly invited them inside.
Li Shen’s mother heard the noise and came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. Lili smelt the scent coming from the kitchen and was about to barge in. However, Li Shen pulled her back and said to his mother, “Mom, we’re back.”
“Yes.” Li Shen’s mother looked at Yu Wan beside him, “This must be Miss Yu?”
“Hello aunt, you can simply call me Yu Wan.”
Li Shen’s auntie walked in from behind, “Why do you call me auntie and her aunt?”
“....” Yu Wan was a bit embarrassed and passed out the gifts in her hand, “These are some small gifts for you. I hope you like it.”
“Yes, I like it.” Mother Li turned to Father Li and said, “I have oil on my hands, you take it.”
“It’s okay. I will put it on the coffee table.” Yu Wan was about to put the stuff on the table but it was taken away by Father Li.
"Let me do it. You two have just come back. Take a break and drink some water. There are nuts and toffee on the table. See if you like to eat."
Li Shen led Lili over and took out a piece of chocolate from the bowl of snacks.
“En, thank you.”
Mother Li stood by the kitchen entrance and winked at Father Li. He received the signal and smiled at Yu Wan, “We received so many gifts from you, we still have to offer something in return. Wait here, I’ll get it for you.”
"Ah, no need, uncle." Yu Wan didn't expect that they even prepared gifts for her and looked at Li Shen beside her with some anxiety. Li Shen held her hand that was resting on her knees and smiled, "They gave it to you, you just accept it."
Yu Wan was a little nervous. Li Shen noticed that her fingertips are cold and frowned, “Why are your fingers so cold? Are you cold?"
“You’re cold? Why don’t I turn on the heater for you.” Auntie said and went to turn it on.
Yu Wan hurriedly said, “It’s fine. I can just drink some warm water.”
“No need to be so polite. We’re all family here, relax.”
“.....”
It is really difficult for her to relax in this kind of situation.
Li Shen took her hand and comforted her. Lili also leaned on her leg and called to her.
Yu Wan couldn't help bending over and rubbed Lili. Lili was so warm!
"Xiao Yu, accept this red envelope. Happy new year." Father Li came out of the room with a red envelope in his hand.
It’s a custom for the elders to give red envelopes to the juniors in the New Year, but when Yu Wan saw the thickness of the red envelope, she was afraid to accept it, "Uncle, this is too much..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It is auspicious to give out red envelopes, accept it." Li Shen's father said and stuffed the red envelope into Yu Wan's hand. After completing the task, he gave a "V" gesture to Li Shen's mother in the kitchen.
Seeing that the red envelope was given, Li Shen's mother continued to prepare dinner with peace of mind. Yu Wan saw her alone in the kitchen and was ashamed to sit there and watch TV so she offered to help.
It is her first time visiting, how can Mother Li allow her to help. She said to her, “There’s not much left for me to do. You and Li Shen should go upstairs and unpack your stuff.”
Li Shen’s parents live in a two-story house. Li Shen and Yu Wan’s rooms are upstairs. Knowing that his mother didn't intend to let Yu Wan help, Li Shen carried the suitcase and said to Yu Wan, "Let's go up and unpack."
"Okay, aunt, remember to call me if you need help later."
“Don’t worry, go, go.” Mother Li waved them away with the soup ladle in her hand.
Yu Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief when they were upstairs. After Li Shen put down his suitcase, he went to Yu Wan’s room. Yu Wan was sorting her things in the room. He walked in with a smile and glanced at the red envelope on the bed, “Are you going to open it?"
Yu Wan stopped her movements and took the red envelope, "Your parents are too generous, this red envelope is so thick!"
“That means they like you. Can you figure out how much is inside?”
“Uh…, I don’t have this skill yet.” Yu Wan conscientiously opened the red envelope and took the money out.
She didn’t count the stack of hundred-dollar bills. However, the bill on top of the stack wasn’t a hundred-dollar bill but a one-dollar bill.
Yu Wan was stunned. Although she didn't know how much it was, she is a wedding planner and had an understanding of wedding customs in various places.
A hundred sheets of one hundred yuan stacked together, a total of ten thousand yuan. It means one in a hundred, for the new wife who just entered the door.
Yu Wan's face turned red all of a sudden, Li Shen who was standing beside her slightly hooked his lips: "No need to count, it should be ten thousand and one dollars. It seems that they are satisfied with this daughter-in-law."
Yu Wan only felt her face getting hotter. She didn't know how to face Li Shen's parents anymore.
"What's there to be shy about?" Li Shen saw her red ears and couldn't help but hug her, "They know that I only have you. Why don’t you call them Mom and Dad later when we go down?"
Yu Wan, “.....”
Don't scare her anymore!
