Chapter 140 Taking Song Beiyou Back to the Duan Family's Old House for the New Year
However, what are you afraid of?
A moment later, after the sound of cars commotion outside the courtyard, Qin Shuyao and Duan Yu's extremely excited voices rang out.
"Ah~ah!"
"My God! My God!"
Cousin, pinch me! I need to know if I'm seeing things.
Old Madam Duan came out from the kitchen side. "What's going on? Why are these two so easily startled all the time?"
Lou Yue craned her neck, trying to look out the kitchen window.
Unfortunately, nothing seems amiss yet.
My heart skipped a beat for a moment, guessing that Duan Yao had returned.
Since that's the case, she needs to stay calm and, as always, not get agitated.
Although she knew that she was already impatient, she knew that haste makes waste and was not in line with her status.
I restrained myself and continued to busy myself in the kitchen.
After washing her hands, Madam Duan, driven by her gossipy nature, said, "I'll go see if Ayao has returned. Yueyue, keep an eye on the heat of that fish maw and chicken soup."
Lou Yue nodded and smiled at Old Madam Duan, "Okay."
Madam Duan took off her apron before walking out of the kitchen.
Lou Yue pricked up her ears, hoping to catch a glimpse of Duan Yao's voice.
A few seconds later, she did hear it. The deep, magnetic male voice that had been etched into her mind made Lou Yue's heart flutter.
I didn't really listen to what they were saying, but I was sure that voice belonged to Duan Yao.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Yao's voice disappeared, and it was Old Madam Duan's voice that came through.
Her voice was rather shrill, and you could hear the extreme excitement in her voice as soon as she opened her mouth, "Ah~ Ah!"
This reaction was no different from Qin Shuyao's and Duan Yu's just now.
Lou Yue's hands stopped moving completely at that moment.
They finally realized something was wrong. Madam Duan was indeed more active than the average elderly person, but not to this extent.
So, right now...
She craned her neck again to look out the window.
With just one glance, Lou Yue's eyes widened as if she had encountered some ferocious beast, and the veins on her forehead bulged out.
The plate in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell into the sink with a loud bang.
Fortunately, she was alone in the kitchen, and the plate wasn't broken, so no one noticed her.
But my heart was in turmoil.
Song Beiyou!
Duan Yao actually brought Song Beiyou home for the New Year!
Why should she?
And it happened right when she had prepared her plans. Was God deliberately working against her?
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath. Although she was unwilling, she could only try to stay calm for the time being.
...
Outside the courtyard, Song Beiyou was taken out of the car by Duan Yao.
She specially wore an outfit that matched the Chinese New Year atmosphere: a modern Chinese-style peach-pink coat and light-colored jeans.
The coat is covered with auspicious flowers of various shapes, making it both festive and charming.
Her hair was styled in an updo and secured with a white jade hairpin, making her look radiant.
Duan Yao held her hand tightly in his palm, as if afraid she would be kidnapped, and she couldn't let go even a little bit.
Duan Yao was also radiant, and the smile on his lips was impossible to hide. The more subtle the smile, the more one could tell how excited he was.
Standing in front of them was a trio of exaggerated cheers, one old and two young.
All three of them grinned, showing off their bright white teeth, their eyes fixed on Song Beiyou.
Madam Duan then grabbed the child from Duan Yao's hands with force, exclaiming, "Oh my, my precious Youyou, I'm so happy for you!"
Why didn't you let me know you were coming? I could have arranged for you to eat what you like.
Song Beiyou looked at Duan Yao, "I thought he told you."
Duan Yao said frankly, "No, there would be no surprise if I told you."
Madam Duan agreed.
She was overjoyed, her heart bursting with happiness.
For the first time in so many years, I found Lunar New Year's Eve interesting and something to look forward to.
The common saying that sons bring their girlfriends home for dinner has finally come true in their family.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." Old Madam Duan led the person, "Li Ma, please prepare a few more dishes that Youyou likes to eat."
Go to the wine cellar and get two bottles of good wine.
Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao followed suit like lapdogs, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Duan Yao stood there, looked at his hand that had suddenly been lifted into the air, and then at the back of the figure being led into the house. He couldn't help but smile.
"this......"
His girlfriend is more popular than him?
Why is nobody paying attention to him?
When he went inside, his girlfriend had already been given a large red envelope by his mother.
There was also a large pile of snacks that are typical for Chinese New Year placed in front of him.
Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao stood on either side of them, one helping to unpack the hawthorns and the other helping to open the lollipops, just like coaxing a child.
As they unpacked it, the two kept asking, "Youyou, where did you go the other day? We couldn't find you anywhere!"
"Yeah, yeah, I was worried something had happened to you."
When Madam Duan saw Duan Yao come in, she said, "Stay with Youyou, I'll go to the kitchen and have someone serve the dishes."
Duan Yao grunted in agreement and gave a wink to the two people unpacking snacks.
Upon seeing this, Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao jumped up from the sofa as if they had seen a ghost and rushed to the kitchen to help.
Duan Yao was satisfied and sat down next to his girlfriend.
Song Beiyou took the opportunity to pop a hawthorn into his mouth. "Do I need to go to the kitchen to help out?"
Duan Yao enjoyed being fed, chewing on a sweet hawthorn he had never eaten before. "No need, just sit with me."
Even if she goes in, no one will be willing to let her do any work.
Song Beiyou readily agreed, "Okay."
About ten minutes later, a shout came from the restaurant area, and Duan Yao led his men to the restaurant.
Upon entering, you'll see a large table under a modern Chinese-style crystal chandelier, capable of seating twenty people, laden with a dazzling array of dishes.
Most of these dishes were added after Song Beiyou arrived, and they were all steaming hot, making one's mouth water.
After arranging the seating, Madam Duan quickly pointed to the seat next to the head of the table as people entered the restaurant, saying, "My dear Youyou, you'll sit next to me tonight."
"Everyone else can sit anywhere."
Following the arrangement, Song Beiyou sat down in the seat next to Old Madam Duan after she had taken her seat.
Duan Yao then sat down next to her right after she did.
Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao sat on the other side of Old Madam Duan.
The current seating arrangement is with Madam Duan in the main seat, flanked by two people on each side.
The atmosphere was great, with a strong New Year's spirit.
Just when Song Beiyou thought that was about all the people, the kitchen door opened and Lou Yue walked out.
"Yueyue," Old Madam Duan called out, "You've worked hard, please sit down."
Lou Yue, quiet and elegant, nodded to Song Beiyou and Duan Yao, "Happy New Year."
Song Beiyou nodded in reply, "Happy New Year."
Immediately afterwards, Song Beiyou saw Lou Yue walk to the seat next to Duan Yao and sit down calmly.
Actually, it's not a big deal; the distance between the seats isn't very close.
Just as Lou Yue sat down, an unusual fragrance wafted through Duan Yao's nose to Song Beiyou's nostrils.
