"Why have you come?"
Li Yuxiu looked up at Wan Yunting as he entered and asked, "Didn't you say you were going back to Hua Du City for the New Year? Why aren't you going back today?"
"Tomorrow."
Wan Yunting went over and stood beside Li Yuxiu, took the concluding documents from her hand, and smiled, "Alright, let's set aside these closing tasks. I'll take you out to relax today."
Li Yuxiu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked up at him. Understanding what Wan Yunting meant, she couldn't help but laugh, "What's there to see? I have to finish these closing tasks first before I can have time for the New Year."
"Oh, these aren't important matters. Just leave them for now and do them after the New Year. Come on..."
Saying that, Wan Yunting pulled Li Yuxiu, not giving her a chance to refuse, picked up her bag and phone, and left the office...
"I can walk myself..."
As they walked out of the office, Li Yuxiu quickly shook off Wan Yunting's hand to avoid anyone seeing their relationship.
Wan Yunting smiled and took her directly away from the office. After getting into the car, he asked Li Yuxiu where she wanted to go. She said she wanted to go to the Great Wall.
Without a word, Wan Yunting drove her straight to the Great Wall. It was almost the New Year, and many citizens had taken time off to wander around. However, due to the snow and cold weather, very few people came out to suffer.
"So beautiful..."
Arriving at the beacon tower of the Great Wall, gazing at the snow-covered mountains, one felt a sense of clarity.
"How do you plan to spend this year?"
Wan Yunting walked over. Both of them were wearing masks and hats, so they weren't afraid of being recognized. He boldly put his arm around Li Yuxiu's waist. Despite the bulkiness of their down jackets, he could still feel the allure of her full waist.
Li Yuxiu turned to look at him and smiled, "How else? Just gathering with family."
"By the way, how long do you plan to stay in Jing City before returning to Hua Du City?"
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Don't we have to go back to work on the eighth day of the lunar new year? I'll be back in Jing City after the fifth day."
Li Yuxiu nodded and didn't continue the topic. After all, they weren't making their relationship public, and she didn't really care about Wan Yunting. They would maintain this underground relationship, comforting each other when opportunities arose.
In fact, Li Yuxiu felt that this was quite good, without too many entanglements...
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.
"Is everything packed?"
"Yes, Dad..."
At the Ouyang mansion, the Wan Yunting family had bags and packages everywhere, with servants loading all the luggage into the cars...
"Yunting, where are Luo Tang and her grandfather?"
Ouyang Zhixin was dressed casually, wearing a long coat. It was already snowing in Jing City.
"They are also on their way to the airport now, just waiting for us to join them."
Wan Yunting held his daughter, who was wrapped in a thick blanket. However, he used his internal energy, so he wouldn't feel cold, and his daughter even liked being held by him now. If anyone else held her, she would cry.
"Alright, let's go out first. I need to say a few words to your Uncle Zhihui and the others about matters at home."
"Okay..."
Wan Yunting, along with Fang Yanxi, his mother Xia Xiangyun, and his sister Ouyang Fanmeng, went out first, while his father Ouyang Zhixin went to find Ouyang Zhihui and the others to instruct them to take good care of the household...
After he finished giving instructions, he came out to the main entrance. The family got into the cars and headed straight for the airport, followed by a group of bodyguards, and a team of hidden guards following in secret!
These hidden guards were trained bodyguards from "Mei Ying" and "Tian Lang." A team of experts had been selected to continuously protect Wan Yunting's women in secret. Even Fang Yanxi, Gu Luotang, and Su Ke'er didn't know that such a group of hidden guards was following them.
Su Ke'er had gone back to her hometown in Shen City a while ago. Wan Yunting had asked her to go to Hua Du City now and directly to her second brother's house...
"Brother Yunting, over here..."
Qi Miaomiao, dressed in a Hanfu dress and wearing a thick cloak, waved when she saw Wan Yunting's family.
"Dad, they're over there..."
Wan Yunting, who had been holding his daughter, led his parents and Fang Yanxi towards Qi Miaomiao, Gu Luotang, and Gu Yuanbai...
"Elder Gu..."
Ouyang Zhixin and Xia Xiangyun came forward and respectfully greeted Gu Yuanbai.
"Mm, everyone is here."
Gu Yuanbai nodded with a smile and greeted them.
Now Gu Yuanbai had come to terms with it. Regarding Wan Yunting having relationships with other women besides his granddaughter, although as a traditionalist, he still couldn't fully accept it in his heart.
But seeing that his granddaughter Gu Luotang was willing and that Wan Yunting took meticulous care of her, Gu Yuanbai eventually came to understand.
Children and grandchildren have their own destinies. As long as Wan Yunting didn't wrong Gu Luotang, he would be content.
"Elder Gu..."
Fang Yanxi also politely greeted Gu Yuanbai.
"Mm..."
Gu Yuanbai looked at her and also smiled and nodded slightly.
"Sister Yanxi, aren't you cold?"
Gu Luotang, dressed in an apricot-colored Hanfu dress and cloak, stepped forward and handed her hand warmer to Fang Yanxi. However, Fang Yanxi held her hand and said gently, "I'm not cold, Luo Tang. You're pregnant, so you need to keep warm."
"Mm, mm..."
Gu Luotang smiled gently. Her relationship with Fang Yanxi was very good now, and they addressed each other as sisters in private.
"It's about time, let's board."
Ouyang Zhixin glanced at the time. They were flying back to Hua Du City on a private jet.
The group entered the boarding gate, went through security, and then boarded the private jet. The plane took off...
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed safely at Hua Du City Airport.
Wan Yunting held his daughter, with Fang Yanxi, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, and Ouyang Fanmeng accompanying him. Ouyang Zhixin and Xia Xiangyun chatted happily with Gu Yuanbai as they walked...
As soon as they exited the airport, they were mobbed by many people.
"Wan Yunting, Idol...!"
It turned out that the news of Wan Yunting's return to Hua Du City for the New Year had spread, so many fans had come to the airport to see him.
All along the way, many passersby were also filming them with their phones. If it weren't for the bodyguards protecting them, these enthusiastic fans would have rushed forward...
Wan Yunting smiled and greeted the fans, then took Gu Luotang's jade hand and led them out of the airport quickly. A convoy of cars was already waiting at the entrance.
"Third Brother...!"
His second brother, Wan Dongming, personally came to greet him.
"Second Brother..."
Wan Yunting went up. Wan Dongming looked at the daughter in his arms and said with a smile, "Let me hold my niece..."
However, as soon as his daughter was in his arms, she immediately started crying. Wan Yunting smiled wryly and took her back, "This girl, she only wants me to hold her now."
"Haha..."
Wan Dongming laughed and greeted Gu Luotang and Fang Yanxi. Seeing Ouyang Zhixin, Xia Xiangyun, and Gu Yuanbai emerging from behind, he also greeted them one after another...
"The weather in the south is so comfortable."
Immediately, Ouyang Zhixin and Xia Xiangyun took off their thick coats, as the weather in Hua Du City was neither too cold nor too hot, the most comfortable time.
"Let's go back first," Wan Dongming said with a smile.
Wan Yunting and the others nodded, got into the cars, and Gu Yuanbai also went with them for lunch before going home...
At his second brother's house, his second sister-in-law Wang Chulin and the two maids, Huang Guilan, had already prepared a large table full of dishes.
"Chulin, aren't they here yet?"
Zheng Peihui, dressed elegantly, entered the kitchen and asked Wang Chulin, who was busy inside, anxiously.
"Mom, Dongming just called me and said he's picked up Third Brother and his family, and they're on their way home," Wang Chulin replied, turning to glance at her mother, feeling a little helpless.
They weren't supposed to come today, but as soon as they heard that Wan Yunting's parents were returning to Hua Du City, they came to join the fun.
The purpose, of course, was self-evident.
"That's good..."
Zheng Peihui was pleased and came in smiling, "I didn't expect Young Wan to bring his parents back to Hua Du City for the New Year. Hmm, so are they staying at the house directly?"
"No."
Wang Chulin, busy with her work, said, "A while ago, Third Brother asked Dongming to buy that villa estate near the back mountain, the one that belonged to Mr. Li."
"Oh my gosh, isn't that villa estate the largest one here?" Zheng Peihui exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, Mr. Li is said to have returned to his hometown to retire and sold the villa. Third Brother wanted to bring his family back for the New Year, so he asked Dongming to buy the villa. We've already organized it for him. They can move in directly upon arrival, without needing any further arrangements," Wang Chulin explained.
Zheng Peihui, who had recovered from her shock, sighed and nodded, "After all, they are from the Ouyang family, one of the six great families of Jing City. Their financial strength is immense."
Wang Chulin turned to look at her and warned, "Mom, you and Dad shouldn't get any ideas!"
Zheng Peihui's expression froze, and she smiled, "Chulin, what are you talking about? What do you mean 'get ideas'? Your father and I are here just to meet a distinguished figure. We have no other intentions."
"I hope so."
Wang Chulin continued with her work, saying, "Dongming has already brought us a lot this year, so please don't bother their family anymore."
These words made Zheng Peihui sigh inwardly.
But she had to admit that since Wan Yunting returned to the Ouyang family and had Wan Dongming take over as the CEO of Chaoting Group in Hua Du City, Wan Dongming had now become a leading figure in the Hua Du City business world.
Therefore, over the past year, for Wang Chulin's sake, Wan Dongming had taken good care of their Wang family's enterprises, elevating the Wang Group to the ranks of first-class groups in Hua Du City.
It was worth noting that the Wang Group had once been merely a third-rate group.
"Alright Mom, you should go out now. I'm busy here..."
Wang Chulin didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging anymore and ushered her out of the kitchen to continue preparing lunch for her third brother and his family...
In the living room outside, her father Wang Anrong was playing with his grandson Wan Tianhua on the sofa. Seeing Zheng Peihui come out with a sigh, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Peihui went over and said, "It's your daughter, she's seen through our intentions!"
Wang Anrong's old face stiffened, and he immediately shook his head and smiled, "No matter what, we are his relatives too. We are here today just to meet his father, a distinguished figure."
Zheng Peihui rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more.
Twenty minutes later, there was a stir at the villa entrance.
"They're back..."
Wang Chulin immediately came out of the kitchen. Zheng Peihui and Wang Anrong exchanged glances, picked up their grandson, and quickly stood up. At the same time, Wang Chulin called out to Wan'er, "Wan'er, your Third Uncle is back! Come down quickly..."
"Third Uncle is back..."
Wan'er ran down from the second floor, a little girl extremely happy. Wang Chulin took her and went out together. They saw her husband Wan Dongming bringing Wan Yunting, Ouyang Zhixin, and Gu Yuanbai in...
