ng Wanning smiled faintly, "I won’t misunderstand you."
Yu Xinwei looked at that delicate face and saw ng Wanning speaking earnestly, "As long as it makes him happy, I think taking you to the courtyard is no big deal. He’s been through things no less than you, and being able to find a mont of peace and joy in this complex world is truly rare."
"Miss ng, you are really different."
ng Wanning smiled gently, "I feel fortunate to have entered his life."
She glanced out the car window at the vibrant nightscape, "I used to be in the Beijing Opera troupe, life was simple and pure, fully dedicated to the performances, rarely considering the complexities of the outside world. When I t him, I realized life can have so many waves and surprises."
Yu Xinwei sighed, "I wish I could live as purely as you do. Over the years in the entertainnt industry, I’ve lost too much and beco less and less like myself."
ng Wanning turned her head, looking sincerely at her, "Actually there’s still ti to change, didn’t you say he made you realize the importance of true feelings and freedom? Then strive towards that direction. There are many days ahead, and you can still reclaim those lost beauties."
Yu Xinwei’s eyes welled up with a touch of emotion, "Thank you, Miss ng. Talking with you has made feel much better."
ng Wanning waved her hand, "No need to be so polite. Besides, isn’t the New Year supposed to be a new start?"
The car sped through the night, arriving quickly at the entrance to the courtyard garage.
ng Wanning sent a ssage to Chen Cheng, and the garage door slowly opened, allowing the nanny car to drive inside.
At the garage elevator area, Chen Cheng was already waiting there.
"Brother Cheng." ng Wanning got off the car and called softly.
Chen Cheng reached out to hold her shoulder, "Cold? Back so late."
"Not cold." The petite ng Wanning nestled in his arms, "Oh! By the way..."
She turned to point in the direction of the vehicle, "Miss Yu ca."
Chen Cheng’s gaze paused slightly before turning to Yu Xinwei.
Yu Xinwei smiled slightly at Chen Cheng, "Brother Cheng, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Chen Cheng nodded.
"Well... I’ll head back then." Yu Xinwei said.
"Since you’re here, why not stay." Chen Cheng spoke softly.
Yu Xinwei was quite surprised, as Chen Cheng walked toward her, reached into his pocket, and pulled out two red envelopes, giving them to Yu Xinwei’s assistant and driver, "Tonight, Xiao Wei will stay here. Happy New Year to you too."
The assistant and driver were both stunned, evidently not expecting Chen Cheng to arrange things this way.
The driver reacted first, quickly accepting the red envelope, smiling warmly, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, Happy New Year!"
The assistant stole a glance at Yu Xinwei, seeing no trace of displeasure on her face, she finally relaxed a little.
Holding the red envelope with both hands, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, wishing you a Happy New Year too!"
After the assistant took Yu Xinwei’s suitcase from the car, the nanny car left the garage.
"Let’s go, we’ll talk upstairs." Chen Cheng said to the two.
"Brother Cheng, you let..." ng Wanning asked softly.
Chen Cheng understood her aning, chuckling, "Xiao Er and Shulin got drunk, upstairs i Xiang and Li Ya are still playing, so..."
He looked at Yu Xinwei, "You were really beautiful on stage today."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng." Yu Xinwei surreptitiously held Chen Cheng’s hand.
Reaching the ground floor, Chen Cheng led them into the warm house.
As soon as the door opened, the warmth inside dispelled the chill from their bodies.
ng Wanning saw i Xiang and Li Ya still sitting on the Arhat Couch, drinking fruit-flavored beer.
"Ah! My goddess is here!" Li Ya abandoned her phone and barefoot hopped to Yu Xinwei’s side, "You look gorgeous today!"
Faced with Li Ya’s enthusiasm, Yu Xinwei smiled bashfully, "Hello, Miss Su."
"Call Li Ya~"
i Xiang also stepped forward, "Miss ng."
ng Wanning nodded, "Eh? Where is Sister Xiao Er?"
"Sister Xiao Er and Aunt Wen got drunk, Brother Cheng helped them back." i Xiang replied.
Li Ya’s mind quickly spun, "So, now it’s our happy hour!"
Chen Cheng pinched her cheek, "You just know how to play."
He let go, "I’ll make you two sothing to eat, what do you want?" He looked at ng Wanning and Yu Xinwei.
"Dumplings." ng Wanning said.
Yu Xinwei replied, "I’m okay with anything."
"Okay, you four play first, I’ll prepare sothing in the kitchen."
Chen Cheng turned to leave, but heard Li Ya say, "No, let’s do it together!"
Li Ya’s words were like a firecracker, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the room.
She jumped and clung onto Chen Cheng’s back, "You don’t know, I’ve just wanted to stick with you today."
Chen Cheng supported her, "Don’t make trouble, be good."
"I want to, I want to." Li Ya pouted, "I’ve been good all night, won’t you let be happy?"
i Xiang shrugged, "She’s always like this."
"Let’s go together." ng Wanning said calmly, "Just as they are all asleep."
Chen Cheng looked at the serene scene, pressed his lips together, "Alright, it’s not far."
"Yay~"
"Put your shoes on first, it’s cold outside." Chen Cheng said to Li Ya.
"Just hold , isn’t that fine? Hehe~"
...
...
In the kitchen, Chen Cheng stood by the stove, making dumplings for the four girls behind him.
The four girls, who were of similar age and had t several tis before, were quite familiar with each other, chirping non-stop without a dull mont.
"Sister Weiwei, you look even prettier in person than on TV!"
Li Ya held an apple, crunching away while chatting with Yu Xinwei.
Yu Xinwei was a bit embarrassed by her calling her "Sister Weiwei" repeatedly, smiling lightly, "Thank you, you’re cute too."
Li Ya said excitedly, "I really love your role in ’Galactic Lovers’! Especially the last episode, where you walked down the stairs in a wedding dress, it was stunning!"
"Thank you for liking it."
"Sister Weiwei, your skin is so good!" Li Ya leaned close to Yu Xinwei, scrutinizing her face, "What skincare products do you use? Teach !"
Yu Xinwei laughed, "There’s nothing particularly special, just pay attention to cleansing and moisturizing."
"Really?" Li Ya said seriously, "I will try too!"
ng Wanning watched their interaction, unsure what to say until i Xiang offered her a peeled mandarin orange, "Miss ng, it’s very sweet."
"Thank you." ng Wanning accepted it, tasted it, "Hmm, very sweet."
i Xiang smiled, "You were amazing on stage today! Simply outstanding!"
"Thank you for the complint, performing at the Spring Festival Gala is an honor for ." ng Wanning said modestly.
"Then my goddess was also outstanding today!" Su Liya chid in, asking, "Sister ixiang, when will you stop being our Weiwei’s fan?"
"I’m a fan!" i Xiang said earnestly, "I’ve always been a loyal fan!"
As the four were chatting, Chen Cheng arrived with two plates of dumplings.
He smiled, "ixiang, don’t mind Li Ya, she’s causing mischief again."
"Humph humph! Uncle just bullies !"
"Hahaha..."
"Co, eat." Chen Cheng sat beside them.
ng Wanning and Yu Xinwei hadn’t eaten much due to the performance, so as soon as the steaming dumplings were served, they eagerly dug in.
"Hmm! Corn filling! My favorite!" Yu Xinwei nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Brother Cheng!"
"I’m glad you like it."
ng Wanning remained as serene as ever, not expressing any opinion, quietly eating the dumplings Chen Cheng cooked for her.
Li Ya and i Xiang were just there for fun, having already eaten quite a bit of hot pot and dessert tonight, they truly couldn’t eat any more.
Su Liya poked at her dumplings, her eyes darting around, and in half a second, she had a new idea.
"Uncle? Uncle?"
Chen Cheng looked up to see those bright blue eyes staring straight at him, "Hm?"
Su Liya tilted her head and asked playfully, "How do you plan to sleep tonight?"
