Another month was ripped out of the calendar. At first, the couple didn't mind what was happening outside, but when they were granted less work, they finally appreciated that the season had changed.

The streets are covered with snowy white piles, and a crisp cold air comes after some time. The winter season graced the country, and it was close to Christmas time.


Chenle took time to look out his window and watch the snow falling from the sky. Suddenly, he remembered the first time he spotted his omega and his son across that one street. It took him at least a few months to get close to them, and it's been half a year since.

Even if it's freezing winter, Chenle's heart warmed at the thought of finally having them under his roof. Finally, they are together, and their love has never wavered. Half a year is nothing to him. He can wait for them for years and years.



"Here are the updated reports from the sales, sir," Yizhuo informed and neatly placed the documents on the head manager's desk.

Chenle immediately turned from the window and walked back to his desk. "Alright. These are the last reports for this month, right?"

"Yes, sir."

Chenle nodded and faced the assistant with a small smile. "Good work. Prepare a memo for the holiday break. We'll resume regular work on the third of January next year."

"Really?"

Chenle looked at her with a raised brow. "Why?"

"No, it's just..." Yizhuo chuckled amusedly. "Last year, we had to report until December 31."

"Ah, that." Chenle smiled. "We had a year-end promotion last year, but we'll move it to the new year. I bet we deserve a long holiday break this year."

"Effective immediately?"

"Effective next week, Miss Ning. We still have to meet with our producers and talents for the whole week."

"Aww, but it's better! Does watching the snow fall inspire you?"

Chenle shook his head with a light chuckle. "I remembered my family, that's all."

"Miss Sulhee and your son?"

He grinned. "Soon to be my Mrs."

"No way! Where's my invitation!?"

"Calm down; of course you're invited. We haven't planned the wedding yet."

"So that ring of yours is an engagement ring?"

"Yes"

Yizhuo gasped. "You're not planning to tell anyone in the company, aren't you?"

"You all never asked."

"Whatever"

Chenle laughed. "Okay, let's resume work now. We can have the dilly-dallies on Friday. The memo, Miss Ning."

"Will draft it now, sir." Yizhuo politely bowed and retreated to her own workspace.


The engagement ring. Chenle couldn't stop the smile curling on his lips when his eyes darted on it. Somehow, he still can't believe that he'll be marrying the one and only love of his life.
