Chapter 229: Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Nan Ge stayed in Huai City for two more days. For the past two days, she had been staying with Shen Yanqing while he worked almost every day.

From the beginning, she had the idea of interning in Huasheng. Coupled with the fact that she was a professional, she would not cause trouble for Shen Yanqing.

She originally wanted to stay for another day, but Nan Zhe urged her. She still went home early and planned to come to Huai City on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Then, she could go to her maternal grandmother’s house with Shen Yanqing on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

After confirming the time, Shen Yanqing called his father immediately.

On the other end of the line, his father and Auntie Wang were very happy.

Ever since his parents divorced, Shen Yanqing had not returned to the old residence for the Spring Festival often. In fact, the last time he went back was last year.

Not only would he come back this year, but he would also bring Nan Ge along.

This time, the atmosphere at the residence would feel more lively.

After he wrapped up work, it was almost New Year. The family had to pay respects to their ancestors. Shen Yanqing was busy and did not have time to visit Nan Ge in Jiang City.

By the time he had time, it was already New Year’s Eve.

This year’s Spring Festival was also a little different from previous years for the Nan family.

Every year, a few days before New Year’s Eve, the Nan family would go to the old residence to stay. It was the same every year.

This year, Mr. Nan, Mrs. Nan, and Nan Zhe had no intention of going to the old residence.

Nan Ge recalled carefully and realized that this was really the first time their family of four had celebrated the New Year in their house.

Because there were not many people, it seemed a little deserted.

The Nan family had dinner early. After dinner, Nan Ge received a call from Yu.

It was rather cold in Jiang City today. Nan Ge changed into the thickest coat she had and went out after saying goodbye to her brother.

Yu Yu’s grandparents lived in the same neighborhood as Nan Gel s family. Yu Yu must be spending the New Year here now. Knowing that she would not leave the neighborhood, Nan Zhe did not say anything.

Not long after Nan Ge left the house, she saw Yu Yu. The two of them successfully met.

“Why did you call me out?”

In the past, Nan Ge would not go out on New Year’s Eve.

Because her grandparents did not allow it either.

Basically, they would eat at the old residence on New Year’s Eve and watch the Spring Festival Gala. They would sleep early.

There were no entertainment activities.

The old man and the old lady were relatively rigid. Unless her brother suggested playing cards, she, Second Brother, and Third Brother could only sit in the living room and watch television.

In short, it was very boring.

Yu Yu knew what had happened to the Nan family in the past half a year. He also knew that she was here for the New Year this year, so he came out to hang out with her.

“Hey, look what I brought you.” As if performing a magic trick, Yu Yu retracted his hand into his sleeve. When he stretched it out again, there were a few boxes of sparklers in his hand.

It had been many years since fireworks and firecrackers were banned in Jiang City. Other than seeing fireworks overseas or at an amusement park, Nan Ge had not seen such things in Jiang City for a long time.

As large fireworks and firecrackers could not be sold, she did not even know where to buy such small sparklers.

Nan Ge was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised. Her gloomy mood finally improved.

“Where did you buy it? !”

She hurriedly took it and looked at the package carefully several times under the light of the street lamp. After confirming that it was really what she wanted, her eyes lit up.

“It’s not that difficult. If you want to see the fireworks, I have them too. Call Brother Nan and we’ll find a place to set them off. I guarantee that you’re going to have fun.”

“No, no.” Nan Ge did not want to do anything illegal. She waved the sparkler.

“This will do!”

“Alright then. You can bring it back and enjoy it on your own time. I have to go back.” Yu Yu had asked her out to give her something, but he didn’t think of abducting her. “My old man is still waiting for me to go back and play mahjong.”

The Yu family had a large population. Secondly, there were enough people to open a few tables of mahjong.

However, Yu Yu played mahjong very well. His grandfather liked to play with him. Yu Yu had to accompany him every year, so he usually did not go out for the next two days.

After returning home with the sparklers, Nan Ge lit two in the courtyard. After playing for a while, she felt a little cold, so she returned to the living room.

She wondered if she should drag her parents to play mahjong too. Then, she remembered that her father did not know how to play.

Because of the New Year, all the servants in the Nan family were on vacation.

They were short of one person. It was not enough.

She could only give up on this thought.

At around nine o’clock, Nan Ge held her face with one hand and sat in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala with her parents. Nan Zhe, who was beside her, lowered his head and sent a message to someone.

The room was silent.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the doorbell suddenly rang, scaring Nan Zhe so much that his hand trembled and he almost threw his phone away.

Mrs. Nan subconsciously glanced at the courtyard, but she could not see anything clearly. She pushed her son beside her, making him useful. “Nan Zhe, quickly open the door.”

Nan Zhe was lazy and subconsciously refused. “Nan Ge will go.”

Nan Ge did not argue with him. She put on a coat and went out.

The video doorbell was there, but Nan Ge was too lazy to check. She walked out and opened the door.

She thought it was Yu or a neighbor nearby.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, the man she had not seen for a few days stood quietly in font of the car

He was wearing the coat she had bought for him last time. His style was not as simple and plain as usual, but more festive. Not only that, he was not wearing his glasses. His hair hung down gently from his forehead, and the tip of his nose was slightly red from the cold. He was also holding a gift in his hand. Nan Ge admitted that for a moment, she did not recognize Shen Yanqing.

“You… Why are you here?”

As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and approached him before he did.

She looked at the car behind him. No driver.

He drove over himself and especially rushed over from the old residence in Huai City with a gift.

“I was too busy the past few days. I didn’t even talk to you much on the phone, let alone meet you. I can only come and see you today. I had no choice. I won’t be able to wait until tomorrow.”

Yes, they agreed to go to the Shen family’s old residence tomorrow.

Nan Zhe planned to serve as chauffeur and drive her there early in the morning.

However, he had come to pick her up.

Shen Yanqing put down the things in his hand and hugged her back.

“Did you miss me?”

His voice was mixed with joy and a hint of coldness.

He stood at the door for more than ten minutes before pressing the doorbell.

Although this was not the first time he had visited, the meaning was different.

In the end, this was only his second visit and he even had to stay overnight. He was still a little nervous.

When he came, his father wondered if it was a good idea to show up out of the blue.

He had also thought about this question and felt he might be disturbing them.

However, he acted selfishly.

He would indulge himself this once. In the future, as Nan Gels fiancé and husband, he would have to come.

He had to familiarize himself with the process first.

“Yes!” Nan Ge expressed her longing for him candidly. She hugged him and refused to let go for a long time. She even took the initiative to kiss him. Later on, the two of them separated because they heard Nan Zhe coming out to look for her.

Nan Zhe was also quite surprised to see Shen Yanqing..
