Chapter 179 Wife, Happy New Year
Everyone was talking at once, criticizing Lin Youning's previous humility.
It was clearly a condemnation, but Lin Youning inexplicably felt comfortable and warm when she heard it.
She looked at her colleagues in front of her, with a smile in her eyes.
"Sorry, it's my fault." Lin Youning humbly admitted his mistake, "I'll treat everyone to a meal after the holiday."
"Really? What would you like to eat?"
"Is your husband coming?"
Lin Youning smiled and agreed on behalf of Gu Huaichen, "If everyone wants him to come, he will come."
Everyone said in unison: "Hope."
Who doesn’t want to have a handsome guy with them when they are eating? Even though he is my colleague’s husband, I can only watch him from afar. But watching from afar is enough.
Everyone was so in sync that Lin Youning couldn't refuse. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll ask him about the time."
Everyone said it was good.
After removing her makeup and changing into her own clothes, Lin Youning sent a message to Gu Huaichen.
After leaving the dressing room, she saw someone waiting for her at the exit of the emergency passage.
After looking at each other, Lin Youning gently curled her lips and asked, "Where are my parents?"
"Wait for us in the parking lot." Gu Huaichen squeezed her hand, "Wen Ci and the others are there too."
Lin Youning: "Then I'll go say hello to them before going home."
Gu Huaichen nodded.
It was still early, and after meeting and talking to Wenci Duan Yingzhen in the parking lot, Lin Youning followed Gu Huaichen into the family car.
"Ningning." As soon as she got in the car, Ji Nutu turned around and gave her a thumbs up, "You are so beautiful tonight."
Before Lin Youning could respond, Gu Huaichen said, "Mom said you are not pretty at other times."
Lin Youning: “…”
Ji Nutu: “…”
"Hey, you little brat." Ji Nutu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glared at Gu Huaichen, "Why are you trying to sow discord between us, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law?"
Gu Huaichen curled his lips, with a rare relaxed and happy look on his face, "How could I?"
He refused to admit it. "It's obviously what you said that's wrong, mom."
Ji Nutu tried to hold back, but couldn't help but pat his arm, "Go away, don't disturb my relationship with Ning Ning."
Gu Huaichen smiled softly, "Okay, I'll go away."
He even asked Miss Ji considerately, "Do you want me to change seats with you?"
Ji Nutu rolled her eyes at him and said, "No need."
The family returned to the old house chatting and laughing.
In addition to Ji and Gu, two aunts also went to the theater to watch Lin Youning's performance. The two of them left after watching the performance because they had other things to do.
On the way back, Lin Youning chatted with the two of them on WeChat.
When they returned to the old house, the old man was waiting for them to have dinner together.
"Grandpa, why haven't you eaten yet?" Lin Youning was shocked. "Aren't you hungry?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "He ate a little to fill his stomach, and he always said that he had to save some for the young mistress and the young master to come back and eat together."
Hearing this, Lin Youning was deeply moved.
But her emotion didn't last long. The girl, who was not good at sentimentalizing and worried about her tears, said playfully, "Dad has completely forgotten his son and daughter-in-law. Has he forgotten that his son and daughter-in-law didn't eat?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
Lin Youning: “…”
Father Gu nodded and said gently, "I think he is."
The housekeeper laughed when he heard this, "Madam, what are you talking about?"
Ji Nutu snorted and took Lin Youning's arm, "Let's go to the restaurant and settle the account with your grandfather."
Lin Youning laughed, "Okay."
Arriving at the restaurant, Miss Ji did not settle the score with Mr. Gu. She recorded a video at the theater and showed Mr. Gu the video of Lin Youning's performance on stage.
After watching the performance, the old man repeatedly praised Lin Youning for her good dancing.
The family was so good at talking and their emotional value was so good that Lin Youning felt a little embarrassed.
Although she thought she had performed well tonight, she felt that she did not deserve such praise from her family.
The atmosphere at the family dinner was so good. The whole family had a very happy dinner on New Year's Eve, which started at around 9 o'clock.
Soon after dinner, the old man prepared to rest.
Ji Nutu and Gu's father couldn't stay up late either, and couldn't join the excitement of the young people. They asked Gu Huaichen if he had any plans for New Year's Eve, and Gu Huaichen looked at Lin Youning.
Lin Youning: “…”
She thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad to rest at home."
"Go out and play." Ji Nutu said, "We are here at the old house. We don't need you to accompany us."
Father Gu also nodded in agreement. He looked at Gu Huaichen and asked, "Yin Jin and his friends don't have a New Year's Eve event tonight?"
Of course there was. But because Lin Youning had a performance in the evening, Gu Huaichen refused early in the morning.
Father Gu: "Go and have fun, spend New Year's Eve with Ningning."
Gu Huaichen smiled, thought for a moment and said, "I understand."
He tilted his head to look at Lin Youning, "Are you tired?"
Tired is okay.
Lin Youning checked the time and whispered, "Are they in the bar?"
Gu Huaichen nodded, "There's an event there, do you want to go?"
Lin Youning was hesitating when Duan Yingzhen posted a few photos in the group. She looked down and realized that she and Wen Ci had also gone to the bar.
Lin Youning raised her eyebrows and was about to say that she would go later. Ying Zhuxing, who stayed with the crew to celebrate the New Year, was the first to protest: [???]
Ying Zhuxing: [Zhenzhen, aren’t you going a bit too far? ]
Duan Yingzhen: […Are you okay?]
Ying Zhuxing: [Have you ever thought about me spending New Year's Eve with the crew? ]
Duan Yingzhen: [It's okay. Think about Ningning. She's not here either.]
Lin Youning spoke at the right time: [Gu Huaichen and I are going there now.]
Ying Zhuxing: [……? ? ? ]
After saying something in the group, Lin Youning looked at Gu Huaichen and said, "Let's go to the bar."
Gu Huaichen curled his lips, "Okay."
The two of them packed up quickly, said a word to their daughter and father who were still in the living room watching the New Year's Eve party, and drove out.
Due to the traffic jam, the two of them had to stop and go from the old house to the bar, and they didn't arrive until 11:30.
As soon as they entered the private room on the second floor, Gu Huaichen was dragged by Yin Jin to drink two glasses of wine, and Lin Youning also took a sip.
A group of people gathered together again. There was a band performance on the first floor. Lin Youning stayed in the box for a while, then she and Gu Huaichen lay down in the corridor to listen to the music.
Before they knew it, the people on the first floor started counting down.
"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one..."
When the last word fell, Lin Youning raised her head and wanted to say Happy New Year to Gu Huaichen. He was one step ahead of her, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, and then said in a low and magnetic voice, "Wife, Happy New Year."
