When Li Dongyang heard Xiao Qianwen invite Xia Nuan to his hometown for the Chinese New Year, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The important point is that Xia Nuan actually agreed.
In previous years, she would go home with Li Jing for the Spring Festival, but it wasn't good to always go to other people's homes. If Li Jing knew that she had this idea, she would definitely scold her and say that she was being too distant with her.
But going there too often isn't a good idea.
She had planned to spend the Chinese New Year alone in the villa this year, but unexpectedly, she received an invitation from Xiao's mother.
Without even thinking, I agreed. "Okay!"
"Okay, then it's settled."
"I'll have Dongyang pick you up when the holidays start."
After chatting with Xia Nuan, Xiao Qianwen raised her phone and said...
“I’ve already told Nuan Nuan that she’ll be coming to our house for Chinese New Year this year. You’d better break up with your ex-girlfriend, You Shuang.”
Xia Nuan was delighted to receive the invitation and lay on the bed playing on her phone.
I had originally planned to take a short nap, but now I'm wide awake.
In the evening, Li Jing went back to the company after dinner, and then went to the real estate agency to ask them to help her find an office building.
Li Jing was not only busy with Xia Nuan's affairs, but also with the company's preparations.
Xia Nuan said that once the company was established, she would own 50% of the shares, while Li Jing would own 30%, and Li Dongyang would own 20%.
Of course, the funds to start the company all came from her personal account.
After all, Li Jing had helped her a lot over the years. When she had money to earn, she wasn't short of money. But after resting for half a year, some problems arose at home. Xia Nuan knew her difficulties and planned to cover all the expenses herself.
She wouldn't be where she is today without Li Jing all these years, so she is very grateful to Li Jing.
Xia Nuan rolled over in bed.
She lay on the bed, playing with her phone, as happy as a young girl.
Then, as if remembering something, she pattered downstairs in her slippers.
If she remembered correctly, Liang Qiong's hometown and Li Dongyang's hometown were very close, only about 20 kilometers apart. Since it was her first time going to Li Dongyang's home for the New Year, she should at least learn about the other family's customs. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory, and the more she knew, the less awkward it would be.
"Aunt Liang, are you asleep?"
Liang Qiong had just finished tidying up the kitchen and brought back the shoes from outside. She was changing into her pajamas when she replied, "Nothing's wrong yet?"
Liang Qiong put on her pajamas and came out. Seeing Xia Nuan's flushed face, she stepped forward and touched her forehead, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Then he touched his forehead to make sure Xia Nuan didn't have a fever before he could finally relax.
"Aunt Liang, what are the customs for celebrating the New Year where you live?"
"Rules?" Liang Qiong repeated.
"There don't seem to be any strict rules. It's just that on New Year's Eve, the whole family has a meal together, watches the Spring Festival Gala together in the evening, and then visits relatives and friends to exchange New Year's greetings. I guess it's pretty much the same everywhere!"
Xia Nuan nodded. "It seems so. Are there any taboos about visiting the man's house for the first time?"
Liang Qiong looked at Xia Nuan.
She seemed to say something, but also seemed to say nothing at all.
"Are you going to your boyfriend's house for Chinese New Year?" Liang Qiong finally concluded that Xia Nuan was going to her boyfriend's house for Chinese New Year.
"No, it's a friend of mine who asked me about it," Xia Nuan denied.
"Friends?" In Liang Qiong's mind, Xia Nuan didn't seem to have any friends!
The friend she was referring to must be herself.
Liang Qiong saw through it but didn't say it outright. Xia Nuan was already this age, and it was normal for her to be in a relationship. Why was she hiding it?
After much thought, it must be related to her current status.
If her mindless fans found out, I wonder what kind of backlash Xia Nuan's fans would give her.
Liang Qiong understood, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Don't sit in the seat of honor at the table; that seat is for elders."
"Also, if there are 5 people in your family, remember not to sit in a turtle-like position."
"Turtle shell? What's that?" Xia Nuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Liangqiong patiently explained that there are five people in the family. One person sits in the upper seat, one person sits in the lower seat, and two people sit on the sides. This is called "turtle back," which is a common insult.
Xia Nuan listened very attentively.
She noted down every single detail.
After all, this is her first time visiting, so she should make a good impression, right?
This lecture lasted for half an hour.
Compared to the city, there are indeed many more rules in the countryside. Luckily, I asked beforehand, otherwise it would have been awkward when I arrived.
It was already 10 p.m. when I finished chatting with Liang Qiong.
After being bombarded by his parents, Li Dongyang finally got some peace and quiet.
After washing up, I lay in bed, picked up my phone, and after thinking it over, I sent a message to Xia Nuan.
"What are you doing?"
Here he used Xia Nuan's catchphrase from before.
"Hmm!" Xia Nuan replied with a single word a few seconds later.
"Is there something you need?"
"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this." Even though it was all a misunderstanding by her family, Xia Nuan still had to play along with him.
"It's nothing, I think it's quite fun."
"Anyway, I don't know where to go for the Chinese New Year, so it's no problem to come to your house for a visit."
You'd better think this through.
“In our local custom, when a girlfriend visits her boyfriend’s home, she is arranged to share a room with him.” Li Dongyang paused at this point.
"Hmm! You came to apologize to me for this?"
Li Dongyang: "Huh???"
That doesn't seem to be the main point!
The key point is that the two of them will be living in the same house, a man and a woman alone. He can hardly imagine what might happen if things get heated.
Li Dongyang patted his slightly flushed face.
With the added effect of having drunk some alcohol, her face turned even redder.
"There's still a month until Chinese New Year. If you don't want to go, I'll tell my parents."
"Even though he'll face being 'knocked out' by his parents, he can't let Xia Nuan suffer."
After all, she's a celebrity now, and celebrities can't have any scandals.
Xia Nuan finally managed to turn her life around, but if some paparazzi exposes her, all her previous efforts will be in vain.
Li Dongyang is not someone who doesn't know how to behave appropriately.
To be honest, just based on how good Xia Nuan is to his parents, even someone with a heart made of stone could feel Xia Nuan's affection for him.
Li Dongyang wanted to respond.
But looking at the entertainment industry as a whole, none of the celebrities who have been exposed have had a good ending.
It wasn't that Li Dongyang was clumsy; it was because he considered things more thoroughly than anyone else.
Xia Nuan: "I'm not afraid of anything under the same roof, what are you afraid of?"
Li Dongyang: "I'm afraid I might not be able to control myself."
I drank quite a bit with two elders tonight, and I'm still a little dizzy.
Li Dongyang immediately withdrew the message he saw on the screen.
He prayed in his heart that Xia Nuan would never see this message.
A few minutes later, Xia Nuan pretended to be confused and said, "I didn't see what you just sent."
"Send it to me again."
Li Dongyang shook his head; he dared not do it again.
If Xia Nuan saw this, she'd probably curse him to death.
They would definitely say they're like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
