Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 403 New Year’s Eve

It was supposed to be a confession of true love for true love, and it could also determine whether Lu Mingfei's reputation as the "campus beauty killer" could be as thoroughly confirmed as the rumors in the martial arts world, but it came to an abrupt end because of the sudden appearance of the prospective father-in-law.

As a result, the time for Lu Mingfei to hear Chen Wenwen's reply would probably be delayed a lot.

Confession of love is something that depends a lot on the atmosphere and needs to be done in one go.

Why is the Ferris wheel one of the three holy places for dating? It is because the Ferris wheel is private, boys and girls can be alone together, and the pink atmosphere will rise when the Ferris wheel rises.

If you confess to a girl in this atmosphere, she may agree to it out of a momentary excitement. Even if she doesn't agree, she can't escape, and you can still use the remaining half of the circle to change her mind.

Before, Chen Wenwen was blocked in the corner of the booth by Lu Mingfei, and it should have been a situation of "I won't let you go if you don't give me a reply". Coupled with Lu Mingfei's progressive confession, Chen Wenwen might have agreed to Lu Mingfei in a moment of impulse.

The unexpected appearance of Chen's father saved Chen Wenwen, allowing her to escape without having to respond to Lu Mingfei in a hurry.

However, it was not until she followed her father home and returned to her room that Chen Wenwen sighed and lay on her back on the bed. The two little men in her head were still fighting.

In fact, you shouldn't be so concerned. A normal girl would slap a boy in the face when she hears him say something like "Would you like to be one of my girlfriends?"

Chen Wenwen didn't know why she felt so conflicted. This behavior not only violated her beliefs, but was also far from the sweet love she had imagined. How could she have fallen in love with Lu Mingfei so much without realizing it?

Lu Mingfei is just a little more handsome, has better grades, is a little more athletic, and is a little more gentle and attentive to girls.

"..."

It sounds like the Asian version of Naoki Irie... or the Asian version of Chu Zihang?
Why, the more I think about it, the less I can find any flaws?

The only shortcoming is that he is too fickle! He has so many girlfriends, but he still says that kind of thing to them! …

Chen Wenwen turned over and buried her face in the quilt. Her pretty little feet shyly kicked the air behind her, as if this could help her calm down.

Chen Wenwen is not the only one who is troubled by this kind of thing. Her predecessor Su Xiaoqiang actually went through this kind of psychological entanglement period.

Father Chen, who saw his daughter's actions through the crack in the door, turned around with a complicated expression and covered his eyes with one hand.

I can’t stand it anymore. I really can’t stand it anymore.

……

The last day of December passed quietly without anyone noticing.

The New Year's Eve in 2006 did not have the lively atmosphere that it would have many years later, nor were there such strict restrictions as in later generations. Looking out from the balcony, from time to time you could see fireworks "whooshing" into the sky above the street.

One floor of the Regent Hotel was reserved tonight. In the empty lobby, a large LCD screen on the central stage was showing slides, with eight large characters written on the red background: "Moving forward together, creating a better future", and a line of small characters below: "2006 Sushi Energy Development Group Co., Ltd. Annual Ceremony".

Su Xiaoqiang wore an elegant evening gown, held a glass of wine, and followed his father to toast all the uncles in the company one by one.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chairman Su was preparing for his retirement. The elders praised the chairman's daughter to Su Zhenqi for being so generous and decent. Su Xiaoqiang raised a dignified smile and answered the elders' questions without any stage fright.

Finally, after all the uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​in the company left, Su Xiaoqiang watched them walk away with her father before she dared to put down her smile and quietly walked to a corner of the company's annual meeting venue. She let out a long sigh, rubbed her stiff cheeks with her hands, and quietly kicked off her high heels under the hem of her floor-length evening dress.

The life of a rich girl is naturally much luckier than that of an ordinary person, but sometimes it is not as easy as imagined. Just dealing with those covetous elders at various dinner parties is enough to exhaust her physically and mentally.

These smiling tigers, who call her their virtuous niece on the surface, probably secretly intend to devour her family and wipe out the entire family.

Su Xiaoqiang leaned against the huge floor-to-ceiling window, combing her hair boredly facing her reflection in the window. Suddenly, she felt brilliant fireworks rising into the distant sky, and the scattered flames were reflected in her crystal eyes.

She looked at the falling fireworks and suddenly remembered that today was New Year's Eve.

Well... let's wait until the annual meeting is over and give that guy a call. After all, this is our first year together.

It’s a pity that we couldn’t spend time together.

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly thought that he should tie that guy up and bring him to accompany him to attend this damn annual meeting. He should also accept toasts and have that guy answer questions from the elders.

But in the eyes of others, would they think that the Su family wants to hand over the assets to Lu Mingfei or something?

…Just pay it, Lu Mingfei is not an outsider anyway, at most I can recruit him into the family as a son-in-law. And if I let him run the company, I can still be a free and easy rich wife.

Su Xiaoqiang was thinking with a smile on his face, when he saw his old man leading another uncle-like person towards him. So he immediately stood up straight, found his high heels under his evening gown and stepped on them, then put on a dignified smile and raised his glass to welcome them.

Dozens of kilometers away, Lu Mingfei had just finished dinner at his uncle and aunt's house. After all, it was New Year's Eve, and his uncle specially called him to come home for dinner.

As the night deepens, the city probably welcomes one of the busiest moments of the year. Street lights illuminate the bustling streets, and everyone welcomes the New Year in their own way.

Lu Mingfei, wrapped in a heavy down jacket, brushed past countless people. On the phone, he carefully comforted the irritable and spoiled little female dragon, assuring her that he would be home within fifteen minutes. He also asked her if there was anything she wanted to eat that he could bring back on the way.

After some effort to calm Xia Mi down, when passing by the river, a brisk ringtone suddenly rang out on the quiet river bank. Lu Mingfei picked up the phone and saw that it was Liu Miaomiao calling.

Lu Mingfei actually thought about organizing a New Year's Eve event tonight, but Liu Miaomiao's house is locked, the little goddess has to attend the company's annual meeting, and Chen Wenwen, emmm... is still being pursued. Even the paralyzed senior brother has to attend the family dinner and can't come out.

Probably only he and Xia Mi are free.

But he usually stayed together with Xia Mi, so it seemed unnecessary to organize a special New Year's Eve event, so the plan was abandoned. We can only wait and see if there is a chance next year.

As soon as Lu Mingfei pressed the connect button, the girl's clear voice came out from the microphone: "Good evening, Mingfei~"

"Good evening, Miaomiao." Lu Mingfei replied with a smile.

……

Mango TV's New Year's Eve Gala was being broadcast on TV. The young teacher He stood in the center of the stage, about to count down to the arrival of the new year.

Mom and Dad had already gone to bed. Chen Wenwen was alone on the sofa, holding her laptop, covered with a small blanket, looking at the messages popping up on QQ, wondering whether to send a blessing message to Lu Mingfei.

Something so ambiguous and weird happened between Bai Tiancai and Lu Mingfei. Chen Wenwen was afraid that if she sent a message to Lu Mingfei at this time, he would misunderstand that she had agreed to something with him.

But... after all, it was her first New Year's Eve in high school, and she felt that even as a friend, she should send Lu Mingfei a message to wish him a happy new year or something... At this time, numbers had popped up on the big screen in the live TV broadcast, and Teacher He and Teacher Wang stood side by side and counted loudly.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one..."

Amid the lively and exciting counting, Chen Wenwen hurriedly typed "Lu Mingfei, Happy New Year~" into the chat box.

As the sound of "Happy New Year" came out from the TV speakers, the sound of fireworks breaking through the sky could be heard one after another on the street. Chen Wenwen lowered her eyes slightly, pressed her hand on the touchpad, and the finger that was supposed to send was still not pressed down.

At this time, the class group chat suddenly popped up. Chen Wenwen clicked it and saw that the group owner Zhao Menghua had sent a message at 2007:00:00 in 01, "Classmates, happy 2007."

Chen Wenwen suddenly realized that she didn't have to send it to Lu Mingfei in private. It seemed that it would be fine to send it in the class group. As long as Lu Mingfei could see it, it would be considered a blessing, and it could also avoid suspicion...

So I followed Zhao Menghua and sent a message: "Happy New Year everyone~".

Then the classmates took over one after another, and the class group suddenly became lively.

Chen Wenwen quietly dived and watched for a while. Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang popped up one after another, but the name she wanted to see never appeared.

She sighed softly and closed the class group chat window. Only then did she notice that her QQ was flashing in the lower right corner.

She used the touchpad to move the pointer to QQ, and what popped up was Lu Mingfei's chat window.

1月1日上午00:00:04
Lu Mingfei: Chen Wenwen, Happy New Year.

Chen Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and the little deer in her left chest began to jump restlessly again. She bit her lip, modified the sentence that had been stored in the chat box a long time ago, and sent it out.

1月1日上午00:05:20
Chen Wenwen: Lu Mingfei, Happy New Year to you too~
Lu Mingfei: Hey, Chen Wenwen, you haven't slept yet? I thought you were already asleep.

Chen Wenwen: No, didn’t I just send a Happy New Year message in the group?
Lu Mingfei: Oh, I haven’t checked the QQ group yet. Now that you’ve reminded me, I should send a message to everyone.

Chen Wenwen: Lu Mingfei, you are a bit incompetent as a squad leader~
Lu Mingfei: (Little yellow face expression: Hush)

Chen Wenwen: Tsk~
Chen Wenwen: Then you go ahead and post it. I also need to take a shower and go to bed. Good night~
Lu Mingfei: Good night. I wonder if I will dream about you tonight?
Chen Wenwen: …

Chen Wenwen: You are so annoying...

Chen Wenwen: I want to take back what I said just now. I won’t wish you good night anymore!

Lu Mingfei: No, no, I was wrong, Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen: (Little yellow face expression: Tsk)

Lu Mingfei: (Little yellow face expression: crying)

……

Ten minutes later, Chen Wenwen, who had just finished taking a shower and changed into pajamas, returned to the sofa, crossed her legs and replied to the message:

1月1日上午00:25:03
Chen Wenwen: Forget it. Since you apologized sincerely, I won’t take it back.

Chen Wenwen: Now I really sleep, I wish Lu Banzhang can have a good dream~
She turned off the TV and waited for a while, but there was no reply from Lu Mingfei. She didn't know whether he had gone to bed or had gone to take a shower like her.

Chen Wenwen yawned wearily. As soon as she finished her shower, she felt sleepy immediately.

She has a very regular schedule and rarely stays up late, so tonight is an exception.

It seems that she can't wait for Lu Mingfei's news. Chen Wenwen closed the chat window and prepared to log out of QQ and go to sleep. At this time, she saw Zhao Menghua's avatar flashing. She clicked it and saw that he had also sent Chen Wenwen a message of Happy New Year just after the New Year's Eve.

Normally, Chen Wenwen probably wouldn't reply to him immediately, and would wait until tomorrow morning before giving Zhao Menghua a polite reply.

However, thinking about the chat with Lu Mingfei just now, Chen Wenwen's mood became sunny, so Chen Wenwen, who was in a good mood, replied to Zhao Menghua: "Well, Happy New Year."

Without waiting for Zhao Menghua's reply, she quit QQ, hummed a light tune, turned off the computer, and went back to her room to sleep.

……

It was late at night, and the sky was no longer filled with brilliant fireworks. This small southern city finally welcomed the moment of total silence, and everything came to a halt.
The cold wind blew across the empty streets, and cans rolled on the road. Most of the lights in the buildings were turned off, with only a few windows of awake people still lit.

The air conditioner in the house was set to 30 degrees as if it was free. Jiude Mai changed into a loose pajamas and sat on the sofa. She used the remote control with an expressionless face to flip through one old Japanese TV series from the last century on the late-night satellite on-demand channel after another.

However, such loose pajamas seemed unable to hide her beautiful figure. The neckline revealed her fascinating cleavage and slender straight collarbone. Her long black hair was not dry yet and was casually draped behind her.

Su Enxi took her eyes off the telescope and spoke angrily:
"Finally, I slept! Although I can understand the invincible constitution of adolescent boys...but can't the couple across the street just be quiet? Do they really stay up until midnight every night?"

Jiude Mai raised her eyebrows: "That's what you said, but don't you enjoy watching potato chips every night?"

"Fuck! Is that what I want to see? My boss forces me to see it every day! What's even more inhumane is that my boss even asks me to write a work log every day! I feel like my writing is getting better and better. If I continue to read for another two months, I can probably make my debut on an unknown website!"

As Su Enxi spoke, she squeezed her butt onto the sofa where Jiude Mai was sitting, picked up the beer in front of her and drank it down in gulps.

"Wait, that's my wine." Jude Mai said.

"Knowing it's your wine, can't you just take a sip? Don't be so stingy." Su Enxi curled her lips.

It would be fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, Su Enxi felt inexplicably... miserable.

They originally thought that after Lu Mingfei ascended the ladder to adulthood, their mission would be temporarily completed and they could return to the imperial capital to take charge of the situation again.

But the boss said there was no rush and they had to wait a few more months because they still had some tasks to do. Su Enxi was stunned and asked what the task was. The boss smiled and put a stack of notebooks in her hands. The notebooks had four big characters written on them: "Work Report".

Report content: Lu Mingfei’s every move at home every day.
