Chapter 348 - 341: Loving Each Other VIII
It’s the end of the year, and Leng Yichen has started to get very busy. Almost every day is occupied by work and social engagements, leaving very little time for Bai Yiran.
However, despite this, Leng Yichen still promised Bai Yiran that he would spend Christmas Eve with her. Bai Yiran began to look forward to the arrival of Christmas, even though she didn’t really care about these Western holidays. But this was, after all, her and Leng Yichen’s first Christmas together.
Just like ordinary couples, they would go out for dinner, walk around, watch a movie, feel the festive atmosphere, and walk together embraced in the crowd.
Although she and Leng Yichen were very much in love, they had almost never gone shopping together, let alone watched a movie. On the surface, Bai Yiran could pretend not to care, but she secretly longed for this kind of ordinary couple interaction.
Therefore, Bai Yiran counted down the days. Finally, on Christmas day, Bai Yiran meticulously planned the day’s schedule, reserved a restaurant, bought movie tickets, and even decided where to have dessert after the movie.
But just as Bai Yiran had everything prepared, she received a call from Leng Yichen. He had a Christmas roundtable meeting that he couldn’t miss, with provincial government leaders attending. Initially, Leng Yichen didn’t have to attend this meeting, but he was recently preparing to purchase a piece of land, and among the leaders attending was the person in charge of this land auction.
After weighing the options, Leng Yichen chose to attend the roundtable meeting.
Bai Yiran really wanted to be a considerate and gentle wife, able to graciously accept when her husband couldn’t accompany her due to work. However, Bai Yiran didn’t manage to do so. When she heard Leng Yichen stand her up, she immediately hung up the phone. In the end, even though Leng Yichen kept calling back, Bai Yiran’s phone was always in reject mode.
Leng Yichen frowned at the phone screen as a leader came out of the conference hall. Seeing Leng Yichen’s tense expression while holding the phone, he reached out and patted his shoulder, "What’s wrong, Little Brother Leng? Having a quarrel with your wife?"
"No." Although the other party was a leader, Leng Yichen had no intention of sharing matters between him and his wife.
The leader nodded, "That’s good. Let me tell you, women are all a bit petty. Don’t be fooled by their usual sweet talk and gentle demeanor; that’s because you haven’t angered them. Once they get upset, the consequences can really be unimaginable!"
After giving Leng Yichen a few pieces of advice like someone who’s been through it, the leader turned and headed towards the restroom.
Leng Yichen, with a trying attitude, dialed the phone again, only to be met once more with a direct rejection after one ring.
Putting his hand back in his pocket, Leng Yichen walked into the venue, thinking he would coax his little girl when he got home.
Since arrangements had already been made with Sister Liu, Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran planned to spend Christmas out enjoying their time together, and Sister Liu had taken Xiao Lang to her home to play early on.
Now, having stood up Bai Yiran, it seemed that after Leng Yichen left, she was the only one left in that large house.
"Oh my! Grandma! You’re cheating!" Cheng Shishi shouted, throwing all the cards in her hand onto the table.
"What! How am I cheating!" Chen Qing glared with her round eyes, arguing with her granddaughter back and forth.
On the side, her son Cheng Gang and daughter-in-law Xia Lian watched the old and young pair, covering their mouths and laughing.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and Cheng Shishi jumped up, "I’ll get the door! Eh? Big Sis?"
Hearing it was Bai Yiran returning, everyone in the house stood up and saw Bai Yiran standing at the door.
