[BL]Reborn With An Old Enemy On the Day of Our Marriage

Chapter 74 - Flaunting Wealth

The exciting meal came to a close.

In the end, none of the Lin family stayed at the Zheng house for the night. Naturally, Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing’s suggestions were just to tease the frightened Chen ShiYi. They didn’t actually intend to have a sleepover, because even if Lin Qian stayed, they wouldn’t be able to do anything anyway.

However, it seems that Zheng BuLu genuinely wanted his buddy to continue chatting with him for the rest of the night. He urged Lin YaZhi several times but was suppressed by Chen ShiYi.

On the way home, Chen ShiYi didn’t forget to tell Lin YaZhi not to have much contact with Zheng BuLu.

The listening Lin YaZhi: ????

Wasn’t he the one who was supposed to say those words to Chen ShiYi?

Shao SiJia, who was listening to their conversation, was much sharper than the clueless Lin YaZhi. She felt that somehow, her younger brother and his wife had something to do with Chen ShiYi’s sudden mood change. She whispered to Lin Qian: “What did you do to our stepmother, ah?”

Lin Qian: “….” How come his sister was able to find the source of Chen ShiYi’s problem so fast?

Lin Qian smiled and replied: “Nothing much, we just came out of the closet.”

After a stunned silence, Shao SiJia looked at her brother like he was some sort of lunatic. “Even if she\'s our stepmother, you could\'ve at least given her a good start to the year, ah.”

“It’s not that I didn’t want to let her celebrate. Things just got out of hand.”

Shao SiJia: “….”

Shao SiJia thought back to Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing’s unbridled flirting at home and guessed what had happened. Shao SiJia gave Lin Qian a hateful look and asked: “What did you and Zheng PingQing do?”

“Nothing.” Lin Qian gave her a ‘you know’ look.

Shao SiJia bitterly replied: “…Don’t hint at it, ah. When you suggest things instead of saying it outright, it makes my brain conjure up all sorts of things!”

Lin Qian didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed. “It’s the New Year, and we’re a couple full of sap. What do you think we did?”

Shao SiJia gave Chen ShiYi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, a sympathetic look. She sincerely wanted to invite Chen ShiYi to a girl’s night, where they would complain about boys all night long.

……

In the Zheng family home.

When the Lin family left, Zheng BuLu went to the living room to smoke, while He YiJun directed the hired housekeepers to clean the house. When she was finished, she went to Zheng BuLu and smiled. “Old Zheng, arrangements for the house are finished. For tomorrow’s itinerary….”

Since there was no matriarch in the Zheng family, He YiJun was the one who followed Zheng BuLu home every Chinese New Year and explained to him the new year’s events he had to attend. Usually, Zheng BuLu wouldn’t be able to relax until the second day of the new year. Therefore, this year, when Zheng BuLu formally started dating He YiJun, he promised her that he would go back to her home on the second day of the new year and meet her family.

When Zheng BuLu first mentioned this, although He YiJun’s expression remained graceful and elegant, on the inside, she was ecstatic. To Zheng Bulu, it might just be an ordinary act of gratitude, but He YiJun perceived such an act to be an affirmation of her identity.

Finally, this year, Zheng BuLu said he would accompany her.

This year’s celebrations started rough, mostly because of Chen ShiYi and her new family. They kept her awake for several nights, with He YiJun worrying herself to death. But those people were finally sent away. At the thought of tomorrow’s trip, He YiJun couldn’t help but show a genuine smile.
