Thus, Duan Ye had a very happy New Year.
After spending the Lunar New Year at home, Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan chose to take their child back to Kyoto on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
They didn't bring a driver home for the Chinese New Year this time, so Duan Ye drove while Luo Qingyuan sat in the back taking care of the two children.
They set off early in the morning and returned to Moon Bay in the evening.
Yang Li had already asked the servants to prepare the meal. Since the food at home was too meaty, Luo Qingyuan specially asked the chef to make some light dishes.
As soon as they arrived home, the servants carried everything inside. Luo Qingyuan took the children to wash their hands, while Duan Ye directed people to carry the things they had brought from home upstairs.
A short while later, Luo Qingyuan placed the children at the dining table, and Duan Ye also sat down. Luo Qingyuan then went to the living room and called Yang Li over.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Apart from Yang Li, everyone else called Luo Qingyuan Madam and Duan Ye Mr.
Luo Qingyuan sat on the sofa and took out a thick stack of red envelopes from her bag: "Go and call everyone over."
Yang Li knew what to do as soon as she saw it, so she happily went to call people, not even forgetting the security guards at the gate and the drivers who had just returned from the New Year.
Everyone came in; there were eighteen people in total: four security guards, two drivers on shift, two cooks, eight servants, a gardener, and Yang Li.
Luo Qingyuan stood up with a smile and handed out red envelopes to them one by one. The red envelopes were very full; she had prepared eighteen of them. Yang Li's was the fullest, while the others were all the same size, but they all felt substantial to the touch.
Everyone was overjoyed, and cries of gratitude rose and fell: "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam..."
After distributing the red envelopes, Luo Qingyuan said, "Thank you all for staying at Moon Bay while I was away. I won't say much more. These red envelopes are just for good luck. I hope we can continue to work together in the new year. This is a belated New Year's greeting. I hope everyone's life will be smooth and peaceful in the future."
Everyone was so happy they couldn't stop smiling, and they kept pouring out a bunch of auspicious words.
Luo Qingyuan maintained a gentle smile throughout, waiting for everyone's enthusiastic discussion.
Duan Ye then came out with his phone: "I've booked a private room for everyone at the New Moon Hotel tonight. Don't worry about things at home for now. The driver will take you there. Have a good time and come back whenever you like."
There was a moment of silence, then everyone jumped up: "Long live the sir!"
Duan Ye naturally stepped forward and put his arm around Luo Qingyuan's slender waist: "Everyone, hurry up and go. We've arrived now, so it's just in time for dinner. After dinner, we can go shopping."
Yang Li invited everyone to get in the car, and Duan Ye led Luo Qingyuan to the dining table.
Once inside the courtyard, everyone eagerly opened their red envelopes, counting their money one by one.
"One hundred, two hundred, one thousand, two thousand, nine thousand... Oh my god! Ten thousand!"
Someone screamed.
So everyone counted the money faster, some even counting with trembling hands. They took turns having holidays, and many even left before the New Year. The host family was very lenient with them. They didn't really expect any red envelopes, after all, the salary they earned working here had always been quite good.
Although Luo Qingyuan had been gone for five years, her son-in-law had never shortchanged them on their wages. The coffee shop had now opened hundreds of branches of all sizes, making a fortune almost every day. Almost all of this money was in Duan Ye's account. He hardly used it himself, using it all to pay wages, and saving the rest.
As for the child support payments for those five years, it was Duan Ye's monthly salary, which was only 30,000 yuan per month. However, he would deduct 20,000 yuan and keep 10,000 yuan for himself in case of emergencies.
And so, five years passed.
The servants were overjoyed. No wonder the red envelopes were different sizes from usual; they contained a lot of money. Everyone felt warm inside and thought that they must work even better here in the future.
Yang Li's heart was warmed. Her red envelope contained 20,000 yuan, which was bigger than everyone else's, but no one was so oblivious as to ask her how much was inside.
Yang Li's phone chimed, and she took it out to check. She found that 50,000 yuan had been transferred to her Alipay account.
Yang Li was stunned, and then the news came that it was from her young lady.
"Aunt Yang, Happy New Year, and thank you for your hard work."
Yang Li's eyes welled up with tears, and she covered her mouth and laughed silently.
At this moment, at the dining table.
Duan Ye asked, "Have you finished dealing with the red envelope issue?"
Luo Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, my parents said you sent them red envelopes too?"
While wiping the child's mouth, Duan Ye replied, "Yes, it's the New Year, so we're just trying to bring good luck."
Luo Qingyuan was in a bad mood, but then she suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about mine?"
Duan Ye's hand trembled slightly, and he blushed for some reason: "You'll find out tonight."
Luo Qingyuan was taken aback: "Does it have to be at night? Can't it be now?"
The two children blinked their big, curious eyes at them.
Duan Ye said helplessly, "Let's wait until the children fall asleep."
So Luo Qingyuan stopped asking, but her curiosity didn't subside at all.
After dinner, Duan Ye went to wash the dishes, while Luo Qingyuan went to bathe the children.
By the time they finished everything, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Both of them had taken a shower and gone to bed to coax the child to sleep.
I drove all day, so I played with the kids for a while and then they fell asleep.
Duan Ye pulled Luo Qingyuan and secretly ran back to their room.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the red wine on the table and two sets of sexy clothes came into view.
There was a men's set and a women's set, a matching set. The men's set looked alright, but in Luo Qingyuan's eyes, the women's set was just a thin piece of fabric that covered absolutely nothing...
As a result, Luo Qingyuan's face quickly turned red.
Gift?
Is this a New Year's gift? Did Duan Ye dress her up as a New Year's gift for himself?
So Luo Qingyuan turned around and wanted to escape temporarily, but Duan Ye grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Duan Ye, we've been married for so long, you..."
Duan Ye interrupted directly: "So what if we're an old married couple? Besides, I feel like we haven't been married for very long."
After saying that, to Luo Qingyuan's astonishment, Duan Ye slowly knelt on one knee and took out a ring box from his pocket.
Duan Ye looked up at her and found it a little funny; they were both still in their pajamas, but...
"I can't wait any longer. I was originally planning to prepare a proper surprise for you during the New Year, but I'm sorry, time is too short."
"Although it was a bit hasty, we really didn't have a good proposal scene. Even though it's been half a year since those things happened, I know you still have some resentment in your heart."
