Sheng Xuan was shoveling snow by the door when he clapped his hands and opened the door.
Yuan Heng, who was standing at the door with an excited smile, suddenly froze. His smile vanished instantly, and his handsome face darkened as he asked, "Why is it you?"
"Don't you know what manners are?" Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow and glared at him, making a move to slam the door shut.
"Thank you!" Yuan Heng blurted out.
Sheng Xuan stopped what she was doing and pulled the door all the way down.
Yuan Heng strode in, looked at the yard which was mostly cleared, and said leisurely, "With snow all over the city and the ground, snow shovelers are indeed quite scarce."
Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face: "There's no other way, I have to pay back the overnight fee from last night."
Yuan Heng's handsome and flawless face froze instantly, then turned red with embarrassment, and he glared at Sheng Xuan with envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Um... what's so cool about that! Ah Lang! I'm here! I—I have something to tell you!"
A moment later, Ning Lang opened the inner door.
Yuan Heng immediately went inside, beaming with joy, "Ah Lang! Luckily you forced me to go yesterday! Wow! I've taken more than a hundred steps!"
Sheng Xuan watched his excited back and smiled, then continued shoveling snow.
After listening to Yuan Heng's detailed account of last night's events, Ning Lang couldn't help but chuckle and say, "What kind of 'taking a hundred steps' is that! It was clearly Dean Shan who gave you the opportunity and took the initiative."
"Anyway...anyway, today at noon was our first date alone together," Yuan Heng said shyly in a low voice.
Ning Lang smiled and nodded: "Congratulations! Congratulations!"
They've finally taken the first step, and whoever took it is making great progress.
Yuan Heng muttered a soft "Thanks," then headed towards the pet greenhouse in the corner. "A-Lv! Congratulate me! I'm going on a date! This afternoon! Awooo!"
A-Lu buried her head in eating her feed, ignoring him.
Yuan Heng was overjoyed and blew it more than a dozen kisses without stopping, then collapsed onto the living room sofa, rolling around and laughing.
Ning Lang chuckled and said, "You have so much energy but nowhere to use it? Go out and help me shovel snow! We'll have cream bread, millet porridge, poached eggs, and steamed buns later."
"Wow! This is so lavish!" Yuan Heng said lazily, hugging a cushion. "This is quite a lot of motivation. But you already have someone to help you, so you don't need me! I'll help you eat a little more later."
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly without explaining anything.
Yuan Heng stopped there, didn't ask anything, and went off to play with A-Lu while holding a cushion.
Her relationship with Sheng Xuan was complicated, and he had always known about it.
He disliked Sheng Xuan before because he was constantly getting married and divorced from Ning Lang, and was also with that pretentious "Lin Daiyu".
However, he was not unaware of the deep affection and tacit understanding between the two of them.
In short, he has only one principle—as long as his best friend likes it, loves it, or makes a choice, he will respect it completely.
Suddenly, he remembered something and turned his handsome face away.
"Ah Lang, did you know that that disgusting Lin Huier is with that ugly fat Sheng Yu?"
“I know.” Ning Lang replied while wiping the table, “We officially got involved after the auction. Father Lin is racking his brains to get involved in the Lingshan project, but Shengju hasn’t given his approval yet.”
Yuan Heng said in a teasing whisper, "Last night, a playboy who often goes out partying with Sheng Yu secretly leaked some news—Lin Huier is pregnant."
Pregnant?!
Ning Lang was slightly surprised, recalling the news that came from the Sheng family manor a couple of days ago, and murmured, "So that's how it is..."
Yuan Heng muttered with suspicion, "They've only been dating for about twenty days, and she's already pregnant? When did Sheng Yu become such a prolific seed-sower?"
