“Sigh, don’t mention it. It’s all because of Lin Haoran, that bastard’s father. He told my mother I was dating someone.”
Lu Ye was annoyed at the mention of Lin Haoran. He really detested the person.
In the darkness, Gu Yan smirked. “Like son, like father.”
Lu Ye found it amusing. “Isn’t it the other way around?”
“No, although Lin Jiangdong is indeed not a good person, he has his bottom line compared to his son.”
Gu Yan just realized she understood the Lin family too much than an ordinary person. She became worried Lu Ye would ask about it, so she quickly interjected, “Then… your mom… what did she say?”
“I simply said I am trying to make things work first. She is very curious about you.”
Lu Ye knew his mom would most likely disagree, but he didn’t want Gu Yan to have this worry now, so he didn’t mention it.
He then continued, “Wife, didn’t you say to wait until you finish your exam? I won’t let anyone disturb your review period during this time. Just study hard and leave the rest to me.”
Although Lu Ye didn’t say it, Gu Yan was well aware that Qin Zhilan wasn’t an easy hurdle to pass.
She looked in the direction of the couch too… even if she couldn’t see his face.
Gu Yan said, “If she doesn’t approve of our relationship… don’t argue with her. We can use the Art of War. Surround Wei to save Zhao…”
“Wife, you know the Art of War!” This time, Lu Ye was truly shocked. “You didn’t use the Art of War whenever you dealt with me, did you?”
A serious conversation was suddenly diverted into a strange direction.
Gu Yan grinned. “What do you think?”
“You did!” Lu Ye exclaimed affirmatively. “At the very least, you used seduction, more than once as well.”
“If you knew, then why did you still fall for it?”
“Sigh. Since ancient times, heroes usually can’t get past beautiful women.”
The two laughed for a while. When they were finally tired, the fireworks scheduled at twelve in the morning were set off. It lasted a long while.
Gu Yan didn’t even know when she fell asleep. She just remembered that before she closed her eyes, Lu Ye waited until all the fireworks stopped. Thereafter, he greeted, “Wife, Happy New Year!”
‘Ye, Happy New Year.’
New Year became much warmer and happier because of you.
Gu Yan slept deeply. She felt at peace and safe. This was her soundest sleep since rebirth.
When she woke up, Gu Yan felt an itch on her face. She opened her eyes and saw a handsome visage that almost poked her nose.
“… What are you doing?”
“Using the method of the prince to wake up the sleeping beauty. I am waking you up, my wife.”
“What time is it now?” Gu Yan rubbed her eyes.
“Seven, what do you want to eat? I’ll grab it from the dining hall. Today’s New Year. They’ll serve delicious dishes for the entire day.”
Upon seeing his little wife waking up, he couldn’t resist kissing her again.
One kiss after the other, he just couldn’t stop.
Eventually, Gu Yan felt something would go amiss if this continued, so she pushed Lu Ye away and wiped her face helplessly. She said, “Hurry and grab me breakfast. I’m hungry.”
