Chapter 110 - New Year

Mu Cheng Yue opened her mouth then closed it again. "Alright."

As Mu Cheng Yue turned around, she saw a man walked in their direction. Her movement halted for a moment before she lowered her head and quickly walked away.

The man, Long Ying, narrowed his eyes when he saw Mu Cheng Yue. He knocked on the door to Yu Yan's office. "Manager Yu."

"I'm almost….. Ying?" Yu Yan was surprised to see her husband coming to her workplace. She showed a smile and stood up almost immediately. Her computer was already turned off and she only needed to lock her office. 

Long Ying caught Yu Yan in his arms and kissed her forehead. "Done with work?"

"Yes, but what are you doing here?" Yu Yan released herself and then turned around to lock the office.

"I'm picking my wife up."

"Heh, you can just simply wait at home. It's rare for you to come." Yu Yan was amused as she looked at Long Ying with an expression 'You better spill out your real intention.'

Long Ying smiled. "We're going to City A."

"City A? But my break is only one day." Yu Yan frowned. Zhang Corporation was known to be strict when giving break to their employee. She had been in this company for some time and naturally knew that on the second day after New Year, she already had to return back to the company.

"Take a leave."

"Fine, fine, but why are we going to City A?"

"Family dinner."

Yu Yan paused when she heard what he was saying. She obviously knew that most families would spend New Year together with their parents as it was the rare time for them to gather together. However, Yu Yan had not returned back home and certainly had no intention of returning to her family just for dinner and met those people.

They had already kicked her out of Yu Family too, so it would be weirder if she appeared on their doorsteps. She was also not sure whether her aunt and uncles would even treat her as part of Kang Family since her mother's surname was Kang.

As for Long Ying's parents….

"You mean yours?"

Long Ying nodded, squinting his eyes slightly. "My brother asks me to return back this year."

Yu Yan was dazed for a moment before recalling that Long Family was known to have two sons. Long Ying was not even recorded as their son and yet he still had to return back to their home during New Year. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was calm about this news.

"Do I need to prepare anything?" Yu Yan finally asked after staying silent for a while.

"No need."

"Alright." Yu Yan reached out her hand to grab his and smiled lightly. "We should go together then."

"Mhm." Long Ying nodded and brought Yu Yan out of the company. As for how he managed to enter the company in the first place, it was obviously because Zhang Liang had given him special permission. If not, it would be impossible for him to even enter this building and not shooed out by that annoying man.

An Lin was the one driving the two of them to City A. Yu Yan was mostly silent on the way as she was thinking about Long Ying's parents. She had never met them and now that they would suddenly have dinner together, she was also nervous. She didn't know how she should act around Long Ying's parents knowing that their relationship with each other was not good at all.

Should she be a filial daughter in law or should she act distant with them?

Yu Yan truly didn't know which one she should choose.

"You don't have to try hard to please them when you're meeting them later. You only need to stay by my side later." Long Ying patted Yu Yan's hand. He didn't really want to bring her to meet with his parents but his brother had texted him a message, specifically asking him to bring his wife along.

The meaning was clear: his parents wanted to meet with his rumored wife.

As for whether they would accept her or not, that was another question. Long Ying would never let them decide for him, though. He didn't want to let them be the one to decide whether he should be married or not.

"Boss, we're here."

"The dinner is tomorrow. You can stay here for the night." Long Ying helped Yu Yan out of the car.

Yu Yan glanced at the mansion before her and internally wondered whether Long Ying had similar mansions in all cities. The one in the Capital City and City F didn't look that much different from the one she saw before her right now. Or was it because Long Ying had one taste so he made all the mansions where he stayed to be similar with one another.

That would be quite amusing.

"Let's get in and have rest for the day."

"En."

The couple went hand in hand into the mansion and rested for the day. The next day, Yu Yan spent the morning to have training with Long Ying while An Lin was arranging for the preparation. After their breakfast, An Luo and San Xia came to the mansion, looking for An Lin.

"Sister San!" Yu Yan greeted happily. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you been staying in City A all this time?"

San Xia nodded. "Yeah, there's some work that I need to do in City A."

"Ooh."

On the other hand, An Luo glanced at his brother as he cracked his hands. Since he had been punished to stay in City A, he hadn't had the chance to meet with his younger brother. Added with the time spent in Island A thanks to his brother, he felt that his grievances were too much. Now, the chance has come to take the revenge he had been waiting for.

"An Lin, I recall there's some unfinished business with us?"

"Wha… Big Brother, we're in the presence of Boss! Restrain your arms ahhh!"

Long Ying turned blind eyes to the pair of brother who were chasing after one another. An Lin was running away while An Luo was chasing after him vehemently across the room.

"Get him, Luo!" San Xia also cheered her husband.

"Call Lan Huo here too."

"Sure, Boss!" San Xia's eyes lit up as she took out her phone. Lan Huo was also in City A today and if she called him here, hehehehe, they could finally enact their revenge against this annoying An Lin. 

Yu Yan watched as An Lin got caught then beaten up. Before long, his face had turned into that of a pig face. It was hard to guess that before this, he was actually a handsome young man.

"Is it fine for him to be beaten up?" Yu Yan asked curiously.

Long Ying squinted his eyes. "He's asking for it."

Just recently, An Lin was bragging again in the group chat and San Xia had protested to him. He knew of An Lin's bad habit of bragging whenever there was something good that occurred to him. Thanks to that, he had successfully earned the hatred of the other members.

Of course, they would be glad to beat him up.

Hmmm, not to the point of crippling him but they should at least beat up his face until it resembled a pig.

An Luo was only satisfied when his brother's face had swollen. He then turned to look at Long Ying. "Boss, my apologies for keeping that inside your mansion."

"Do you have any plan to use it my place?" Long Ying asked coldly. His meaning was clear: did he plan to make out with his wife in Long Ying's mansion.

An Luo could feel his back was filled with sweat when he saw Long Ying's gaze. He knew that if he dared to say yes, he might even be sent overseas without his wife for a month. "No, Boss!"

"Good."

Yu Yan blinked her eyes as she watched their interaction and giggled. She turned to look at San Xia. "Are you not going to help your husband, Sister San?"

"He deserves it." San Xia stuck out her tongue. Internally, she was scolding her husband. Who told him to leave that thing in Long Ying's mansion when they knew how much their Boss hated it when his subordinates played with women?

Not to mention, he hated it when others were doing inappropriate things in his territory. 

Not long afterwards, Lan Huo arrived. He looked confused as to why he got called but when he saw An Lin there, his eyes lit up. "Boss, can I have exercise?"

"Sure."

"Thank you, Boss!"

An Lin, whose face had turned like a pig after his brother beat him up, was now undergoing the second beating under Lan Huo's hand.

Looking at the three of them, Yu Yan was speechless.. They behaved like little brats.
