Chapter 22
"Secretary Lin, what's going on?"
Wen Xin was hanging red lanterns on the money tree when she saw Secretary Lin come out of the study with his head down and asked him with concern.
"Ahem, Miss Wen."
Secretary Lin immediately reverted to his elite demeanor and greeted everyone politely.
Wen Xin smiled. "Where's my brother?"
Secretary Lin: "Young Master is still in the study working on some documents. Do you need to speak with him?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me? It's almost noon, Secretary Lin, why don't you stay for lunch?"
"No, no, I need to rush back to the company."
"Secretary Lin, you've worked so hard."
"Ah, of course."
Before they could exchange even a few pleasantries, Secretary Lin felt a chill run down his spine again.
Without a doubt, it must be some unreasonable young master who was displeased that he had spoken a few more words with Miss Wen.
This twisted possessiveness...
Well, his boss has been a morally bankrupt person for years.
For the sake of his own life, Secretary Lin dared not waste any more words and directly asked Wen Xin if she had any plans for New Year's Eve.
"I'll spend the Lunar New Year at home with my brother."
Wen Xin was incredibly clever. Seeing Lin's unusual expression, she immediately understood, "Does my brother have work scheduled for New Year's Eve?"
"It's not really work."
Secretary Lin told her directly about the Wen family's charity auction.
"That's a good thing," Wen Xin understood, unable to suppress a smile. "Brother doesn't want to participate?"
"Yes," Secretary Lin said with a bitter face, but then added, "I can understand. The young master hasn't had a holiday for the New Year for several years. It's normal that he doesn't want to attend these banquets when he finally gets a break."
"Lin Wen, what are you still doing here?"
Qin Zhan came out of the study.
Secretary Lin: "..."
Boss, don't you have any idea why your subordinates are still here?
Wen Xin turned to look at him, her eyes crinkling with a sweet smile, "Brother, are you done with your work?"
Qin Zhan walked to her side and gently took the small lantern from her hand. "Hmm, are you hungry?"
"That's alright," Wen Xin asked him, "Brother, aren't you planning to go to the auction on New Year's Eve?"
Qin Zhan lowered his eyes and said casually, "I'm alone, there's nothing worth going to."
"Can I bring a female companion?"
"No!"
"ah?"
Wen Xin seemed deflated, pursing her lips, "I was thinking of suggesting that I be your date and go with you."
Qin Zhan stared intently at her. "Are you really willing?"
Wen Xin asked, amused, "Why wouldn't I want to?"
Qin Zhan's eyes were unreadable. "I thought you didn't like those kinds of occasions."
Especially when I'm with him!
Wen Xin tilted her head, somewhat confused. "Did I not like it before?"
She added definitively, "It's clearly because you didn't like it, brother, that I didn't go, but I did so to keep you company."
Qin Zhan: "..."
I must have been out of my mind before, missing so many opportunities to assert my sovereignty!
That's why he was punished for losing her for more than two years.
However, Qin Zhan pursed his lips and said, "On New Year's Eve, I originally wanted to spend the holiday at home with you."
Wen Xin didn't mind and chuckled, "Anyway, it's just the two of us at home, so where we go doesn't matter for the New Year. Besides, let's just say we're going out for fun."
Qin Zhan's lips curled up, his tone incredibly gentle, "Whatever makes you happy."
Secretary Lin, overwhelmed by the cloying scent of romance, was speechless.
A pay raise is on the horizon, so why does he still want to bite his clothes and cry?
He shouldn't have stayed here!
...
The Li family also received an invitation from the Wen family.
After Li Qingchen and Han Yuying's engagement was finalized, Han Yuying seemed to have taken some kind of miraculous elixir, and her physical and mental health improved in no time.
Madam Han kept praising Li Qingchen as the lucky star of their Han family, which directly diverted his attention and prevented him from thinking about anything else.
Then, he "heard" about the Wen family's charity auction, and most importantly, the Qin family's heir would be attending that night.
Li Qingchen, who had previously been unable to see anyone, suddenly became incredibly energetic.
He immediately told Madam Li that he absolutely had to attend the auction that night.
Li Qingchen believed that as long as he could meet Qin Zhan, he would be able to persuade the young master to approve their plan.
Then he'll be able to drag Li Nan's illegitimate son, who can't be brought into the light, back into the mud.
Li Nan, who released the information: Just laugh!
Li Qingchen first fell into the river and lost consciousness. After waking up, he and Bai Yueguang experienced a "life-and-death separation and poured out their hearts to each other".
Afterwards, they discussed engagement matters, and Li Nan deliberately kept the news from him, so much so that he still doesn't know about Qin Zhan and Wen Xin's relationship. His confidence is so high that it's almost foolish.
Just thinking about the scene of Li Qingchen seeing his ex-girlfriend appear with Young Master Qin on New Year's Eve made Li Nan feel so happy that she rewarded her employees with two more hours of overtime.
Although his plan had been approved by Qin Zhan, that young master was simply a devil, and not a single flaw or shortcoming in the plan could escape his notice.
A few days ago, Li Nan was subjected to that person's sharp tongue for a whole hour, which almost made him doubt that he was mentally challenged.
So even though it was almost Chinese New Year, Li Nan was so busy that she practically lived at the company.
But it's worth it!
He would never give Li Qingchen the slightest chance!
Was he an illegitimate child?
laugh!
...
On New Year's Eve, Wen Xin got up early and, after putting up the couplets with Qin Zhan, went to the kitchen to make dumplings.
They were going to attend an auction that evening, so they had their reunion dinner at noon first.
After lunch, a team came to their home to do their hair and makeup.
Because it was the New Year, Wen Xin chose a red cheongsam with heavy embroidery, a white fox fur shawl, her long black hair was tied up and secured with a hair clip inlaid with tiny diamonds, she wore a pair of pearl earrings, and on her snow-white wrist was a precious blood jade bracelet with a translucent color.
The charming young girl instantly transformed into an elegant and noble socialite.
When she walked out gracefully in her high heels, Qin Zhan was slightly stunned, his eyes filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but be moved.
He stepped forward, his long, pale fingers gently stroking her hair, and whispered in admiration, "So beautiful."
Wen Xin pursed her red lips slightly, smiled sweetly, and said happily, "Brother is very handsome tonight too."
Qin Zhan chuckled softly and extended his hand. "Let's go."
Wen Xin took his arm without hesitation.
The Wen family is a long-established and wealthy family in H City, with a history spanning hundreds of years. They live in a Su-style garden in the old city.
The banquet hall was bustling with activity. Elegantly dressed upper-class celebrities held wine glasses, exchanging pleasantries with those around them, their expressions smiling, creating a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
The Li family is a prominent and wealthy family in H City, and Mrs. Li is surrounded by many people who flatter her.
Han Yuying, holding Li Qingchen's arm, accepted the blessings from others with a shy expression.
As for why the "dying" white moonlight was able to attend the banquet tonight?
Of course it's because of deep affection!
Upon hearing that the Wen family was going to hold a large-scale charity auction on New Year's Eve, attracting celebrities, Han Yuying immediately sat up in shock from her deathbed... no, she immediately recovered without any medicine, and said to Li Qingchen with deep affection: as his fiancée, how could she let her fiancé attend the banquet alone?
She would always be by his side!
The male lead, Li Qingchen, was once again deeply moved.
Yu Ying...
Ah, Qingchen…
Xiao Jin, who was watching from the sidelines, almost threw up his dinner from the night before.
Ahhhhh, Master, someone is using "gutter oil" to kill butterflies here!
