Before Yu Wan finished tidying up, her mother called. Yu Wan glanced at the caller ID and answered, “Mom, what is it?”
Li Shen heard her call out to her mom and unconsciously looked over.
Yu Wan’s mother asked, “Did you arrive yet?”
“Yes, we’ll be eating in a while.”
“That’s good. How is the current situation?”
“Uh….” Yu Wan glanced at Li Shen and said, “Aunt and uncle gave me a big red envelope.”
Yu Wan’s mother curiously asked, “How big?”
“One hundred thousand and one dollars.”
Yu Wan’s mother naturally knows what one hundred thousand and one dollars mean. She lightly raised a brow, “Then it looks like they are satisfied with you. What do you and Li Shen think? You can't be like this forever. When do you plan on getting married? "
“....” Yu Wan was silent for a while and said, "We haven't decided yet. He just changed to a new company, and I just became an independent planner..."
Yu Wan’s mother interrupted her, “Hearing your tone, do you plan on not getting married?”
"No, just for the time being..."
“How long are you going to put it off? You’ll be 27 this year.”
“I know but I’m not in a hurry. When our work becomes stable, we will get married!”
"What counts as stable? Are you two not making enough money now..."
“Oh, Aunt is asking us to eat! I’ll talk to you later!” Yu Wan hurriedly hung up.
Li Shen, who was watching on the side chuckled, “What, auntie is urging us to get married?”
“Yes, it’s like she’s afraid I can’t get married.” Yu Wan pursed her lips and the phone back into her bag, “When I was younger, she wouldn’t let me date. As I got older, she is urging me to get married.”
Li Shen smiled, “You’re seventeen, not old.”
These words comforted Yu Wan. She raised her hand and touched Li Shen’s face as she joked, “Your mouth is smeared with honey. How can you speak so sweetly.”
Li Shen didn’t move and just stood there and let her take advantage.
Lili squeezed between them and looked at Yu Wan as if she wanted her to touch her as well. Yu Wan squatted down and tease Li Shen for a while. Then she followed Li Shen downstairs to prepare dinner.
There is always a big feast prepared for the reunion dinner. This time, in order to welcome Yu Wan, Li Shen’s mother prepared more dishes than in previous years. Li Shen watched her keep putting the dishes on the table and couldn't help but comment "This year's reunion dinner will not be finished until the fifteenth of the first month."
"Don’t be so dramatic." Mother Li put down the steamed fish in her hand and asked them, "How long are you going to stay?"
“A”
Li Shen answered, “We bought plane tickets to go back to A City on the third day.”
Mother Li frowned, “On the third day? You just came back, can’t you stay a few more days?”
Li Shen smiled and hugged his mother’s shoulders, “I’ll come back to see you the next time I have a vacation. We have work to do, especially Yu Wan. She is busier than me.”
“……”
“....No, I am not. Obviously, you are the one going abroad next month. Don’t push the blame on me.”
Mother Li asked Li Shen, “You’re going abroad next month?”
“En, I’m participating in fashion week and a magazine photoshoot along the way. It won’t take too long.”
“You’re a singer and still participate in fashion week? Does it concern you?”
Yu Wan snorted and tried to hold back her laugh. Mother Li is ridiculing him.
Li Shen glared at her and pushed his mother into the kitchen, “Mom, what else did you make. Let me help you bring it out.”
“Let me see if the steamed pork is ready.”
“ ”
Mother Li and Li Shen were the only ones in the kitchen. Mother Li opened the lid of the pot and took a look. She whispered beside Li Shen, “Your dad and I like Yu Wan. She is beautiful and capable.”
Hearing his mom praise Yu Wan, Li Shen also felt happy, “Of course, your son has good taste.”
Mother Li clicked her tongue and smiled, “You’re so proud. Since you two have met the parents, everything has been settled? Yu Wan is a wedding planner and must plan your wedding as well.”
Li Shen helplessly smiled, “Don’t worry, we’ve got everything figured out.”
“Figured what out? You’re a man, you need to take some initiative. Does the girl have to mention marriage first? Have you proposed yet?”
“I proposed in my fourth year of college!”
“……”
“....” Mother Li was silent for a moment before she said, “That still counts? She must have forgotten about it.”
“……”
“.....”
Mother Li couldn’t help but nag when she saw him not speaking, “Hurry up. I’m not saying to get married right away. Just get it done first right?”
“Yes, yes.” Li Shen picked up the plate of steamed pork on the table and said to her, “Is this ready? I’ll bring it out.”
“……”
“This child….” Mother Li muttered and checked on the soup.
Li Shen’s aunt brought two bottles of red wine, saying that she especially had her friend bring it back from abroad so that everyone could taste them. Seeing Yu Wan’s eager look to try it, Li Shen said, "You can't drink."
Yu Wan immediately frowned, “Why?”
“Did you forget how you acted when you were drunk?”
“……”
“.....”
That was an accident! Zhao Xin and Zhou Xiaoning are good at drinking. When she was together with them, she couldn’t help but drink more.
“Why can’t she drink, it’s the new year.” Li Shen’s aunt brought a wine glass in front of Yu Wan and poured her some wine, “Later when we drink, I will pour it for you.”
Li Shen looked at her helplessly, “Auntie, she really can’t hold her alcohol. You haven’t seen how she acts when she’s drunk.”
Auntie didn’t pay heed to it, “If she gets drunk then so be it. She is at home anyway. Besides, aren’t you here too?”
Li Shen's parents followed suit and told Yu Wan to drink as much as she wanted.
Yu Wan blinked at Li Shen and took a sip from the wine glass.
“……”
“....”
He secretly pinched Yu Wan’s waist under the table and whispered in her ear, “Don’t rely on my family to do whatever you want. Do you still care about your body?”
“I’ll just drink a little.” Yu Wan lifted her fingers and showed that she was only going to drink a little bit.
Li Shen was in charge of clearing the table. Yu Wan didn’t drink much for dinner. Later on, she followed Li Shen downstairs to take Lili out for a walk. They saw a fireworks seller in the neighborhood and bought a few small fireworks to light up in the yard.
The sound of fireworks and firecrackers didn’t end until midnight. Yu Wan didn’t sleep when that night but she still woke up at nine the next morning.
Hearing the noise downstairs, she finished washing up and went downstairs in her pajamas. Li Shen and his mother are already awake making tangyuan in the kitchen. When Mother Li saw Yu Wan coming over, she looked at her in surprise, “Aren’t you going to sleep more? Surely you didn’t sleep much last night.”
Yu Wan smiled and shook her head, “I couldn’t sleep anymore. Are you making tangyuan? I’ll help too.”
"Okay, then you go and wash your hands. I will cook these few that have been wrapped already."
Yu Wan washed her hands and stood next to Li Shen. She looked at the tangyuan he wrapped, “Your craftsmanship is not bad. I remembered that you couldn’t even make milk porridge before.”
Li Shen wiped some flour on his finger on the tip of her nose and smiled, "My craftsmanship has been advancing by leaps and bounds in the past two years, but the milk porridge you better. "
Yu Wan wiped her nose and looked at the fillings in the bowls, “Did you make these fillings yourself Aunt?”
“En, the tangyuan I made just now has sesame, rose, and brown sugar. Which one do you like?”
“I like them all!”
Mother Li heard this and smiled, “Then eat more later.”
While the tangyuan was finished cooking, Father Li came back with Lili. Early in the morning, he took Lili out for a walk with great interest.
“You raised Lili well. When I took her out to the park, a lot of people praised how cute she is.” Father Li happily remarked once he came back. Lili seemed to understand what he said and happily wagged her tail while she barked twice.
Seeing how Lili is acting, Li Shen couldn’t help saying, “Don’t praise her anymore. She will act even more outrageous.”
“Woof woof!”
Lili barked at him a few times, making Li Shen’s parents laugh.
“Okay, since you’re all back, let’s eat tangyuan.” Mother Li’s mother ladled some bowls of tangyuan and put them on the table.
The freshly cooked tangyuan was still hot. Yu Wan scrolled through Weibo while she gently stirred it with her spoon. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Most people would be on holiday but there are still some people whose occupations require them to work during the holidays.
That’s right, she is talking about the paparazzi. ;)
Yu Wan looked up at Li Shen who was sitting next to her, “You’re on the hot search again.”
Li Shen frowned and leaned toward Yu Wan to look at her screen.
“Li Shen brought his girlfriend home for the New Year. It seems that their wedding is fast approaching?” Li Shen chuckled, “Somehow, I feel some deep respect for them to work on the New Year.”
“I suspect they have installed a tracker on you.”
Li Shen took a look at the post. The photo on the top was obviously taken secretly, and the photo was very unclear. Yu Wan was wearing a scarf and down jacket so they could barely see her face.
Mother Li nervously asked, “What is it, have you been photographed by the reporters?”
"It's okay, don't worry about them." Li Shen comforted, "Let's eat the tangyuan first, it will get cold later."
Mother Li gave him a reproachful look, “Why are you so relaxed?”
“There’s nothing I can do. People in this business will be photographed. As long as they don’t go overboard, we generally don’t care.”
“What about Xiao Yu?”
“Aunt, I also don’t mind Besides, the pictures they took aren’t very clear.” Yu Wan smiled at her. Now that she decided to be with Li Shen, she had already mentally prepared herself for this.
Li Shen’s mother pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Shen didn’t respond to the news and only sent some New Year’s greetings. After the three-day vacation, he and Yu Wan returned to A City with a lot of food.
As they February, Gu Xin’s wedding is getting closer. This wedding is very complicated and it is also overseas. Yu Wan and the wedding team are scheduled to go there 20 days in advance to set up the scene.
Li Shen had to go abroad in February and Yu Wan had to leave in March. He was dejected.
Yu Wan originally coaxed him and told him that there it was fine, time will pass quickly, but on the day Li Shen left, she felt that the house had become empty.
Fortunately, Lili is home to keep her company otherwise she would move back to her apartment.
After she finished her work in the evening, Yu Wan lay in bed alone as she looked through Weibo. It was Li Shen’s first day abroad today and there were already a lot of photos of him online.
It is natural to carefully dress up when participating in fashion week. Li Shen brought a professional stylist and photography team with him on this trip. Every photo taken was high quality.
“Damn, Brother Shen is so handsome!!! Men in love are the most handsome!”
“Only Brother Shen can pull off these flashy clothes [covers face] I don’t understand fashion [covers face]”
"Brother Shen is really in good shape. I envy Lily, I'm sour [sour]"
"Sisters, don't worry about Lily at this time, let me take care of Li Shen [smirk]"
"Brother Shen's scarf! He has been wearing it everywhere!"
“Hahaha, finally someone noticed the scarf! Brother Shen really loves this scarf. All the clothes match!”
“This scarf is really versatile. It must be a gift from Lily. [sour]”
"..." This really is the one that she gave to Li Shen on his birthday. She looked at Li Shen in the photo, and the corners of her mouth gradually rose, her mood was much better than before.
Ah Shen: Are you sleeping?
Yu Wan was taken aback for a second by the message she suddenly received from Li Shen.
Lily: I’m looking at your Weibo. The photos are amazing!
Ah Shen: Don’t look at it anymore. Go to bed. I will let you see the real person when I come back.
Lily: Oh.
Lily: You’re not home, I suddenly feel the house is so big and empty.
Li Shen, who is currently abroad, suddenly had the urge to buy a plane ticket home.
Ah Shen: I’ll immediately come back after work.
Ah Shen: Are the doors and windows closed?
Lily: En, I checked before going to bed. Lily is also here.
Li Shen smiled and sent her a “good night” voice recording to coax her to sleep.
Yu Wan heard his recording and felt her heart palpitate a little, missing him even more.
Li Shen is also worried about leaving Yu Wan alone but after fashion week, he still has a magazine photoshoot so he has to stay abroad for a few more days.
The weather over there is nice, very suitable for taking pictures. After taking some photos on the streets, Li Shen received a message from Yu Wan. Rather than text, she sent him her location.
Li Shen was taken aback and quickly sent her a message.
Ah Shen: You came?
Lily: Yes, hahaha. Gu Xin’s wedding needs around 400,000 fresh flowers. President Xu and I came to take a look.
In fact, she didn’t have to come personally but when Xu Yi asked her, she immediately agreed.
Li Shen couldn’t help but smile affectionately, his eyes much brighter than before.
Ah Shen: Where are you going?
Lily: Our meeting already ended. President Xu went back to the hotel to rest. I’m walking around the flower shop.
Ah Shen: You’re not resting? Are you not jet lag?
Lily: I feel excited [smirk]
Li Shen raised his lips again and messaged her, “I’m almost done on my side. I’ll look for you later.
Lily: Ok.
“Brother Shen, we’re ready to shoot the next set.” Xiao Dong saw Li Shen happily texting on his phone and know that he is chatting with Yu Wan. It’s just that the photographer is urging him to hurry so she had to bite the bullet and call after him.
Li Shen wordlessly put away his phone and quickly entered his working state.
The photo shoot was more efficient than the previous set. After it ended, Li Shen didn’t let Xiao Dong follow him and called a local driver to send him to Yu Wan.
It took forty minutes for the car to arrive. Li Shen told the driver to wait a while while he went out to pick up someone.
Yu Wan was still looking at flowers in the flower shop. When Li Shen walked over, he looked through the French windows and saw her back facing him
Li Shen’s eyes softened even though he only saw her back. He slowed his steps and walked to the French windows. He raised his hand and gently tapped the glass.
Yu Wan was holding a bunch of flowers in her hands. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and looked back. Li Shen was standing in front of the French window wearing a coat from the photoshoot and with a smile on his face.
The sun faced him, lighting up his eyebrows and the corners of his lips, making him unable to keep his eyes open for a while.
The door of the flower shop is on his right. Li Shen can reach it in about ten steps, but he can't wait to get close to her.
He took a step forward and approached Yu Wan. He lowered his head with a smile and kissed her on the lips through the glass.
