Le Yao had been acting very relaxed, but only she knew that the longer it took, the more anxious she became. She wondered how Nangong Jue was doing. However, no matter how anxious she was, she could not stop time.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.
The members of the Han family acted very normal. They chatted and laughed.
Everyone seemed to have reached an agreement and did not mention Nangong Jue, afraid that they would make Le Yao feel uncomfortable.
“I made dumplings.” Liu Sujuan didn’t return to the village this year because of what had happened to Le Yao. She stayed in Xiling City to celebrate the new year with Le Yao.
Because Nangong Jue hadn’t returned, they all knew that Le Yao was going to wait for him.
“Sure.” Le Yao came over with a smile. She also tried not to make everyone worry about her.
Nowadays, firecrackers were not allowed in the city. The traditional New Year vibe was much fainter. Therefore, everyone just ate dumplings and watched the Spring Festival Gala. Then, they would wish each other happy new year on their cell phones and send red packets in some group chats.
After eating the dumplings, Le Yao prepared to go next door.
This was because there were customs in the countryside. Married daughters could not stay in their maiden home during the new year, unless it was a family without a son.
Although it was a little sexist, this had been a tradition for thousands of years. Le Yao did not want to break it.
“Don’t. It’s almost New Year’s Eve. I’m already married…’
“Lan.” Nie Baozhen held Le Yao’s hand. “This is the city. We’re all young people and don’t care about those old traditions. I’m your sister-in-law, so stay. Besides, this house is yours. You’re in your own house, so…”
Le Yao smiled. “I know you don’t care about those customs, but that’s mine and Ah Jue’s house. I want to go back. Shuo Shuo is still here. Don’t worry, I’ll come over for dinner tomorrow morning.”
Nie Baozhen glanced at her husband.
Han Xiangdong didn’t stop her. “Let’s go. I’ll send you there.” Le Yao did not refuse and followed Han Xiangdong out of the room.
“Lan, don’t worry. Ah Jue is such a powerful person. He’ll be fine.” Han
Xiangdong guessed that it might be because there had been no news of Nangong Jue. His sister was worried that she would affect his parents’ mood here.
“I know. Thank you, Brother.” Le Yao nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. He’ll be fine too.”
Han Xiangdong nodded and watched her enter the house before returning next door.
Le Yao went back and took a shower before lying on the bed. She flipped through her cell phone. Everyone in the star student group sent red packets. She clicked on a few and sent them too. Then, she sent a big red packet to the family group. After that, she opened Nangong Jue’s WeChat and sent him a red packet of 521 yuan.
However, after sending it for a long time, no one collected it.
Instantly, her heart sank.
She felt that she couldn’t wait any longer, or she would go crazy. She immediately called Tao Qing. “Tao Qing, I’m going to look for Ah Jue.” “Young Madam.” Tao Qing looked a little helpless. “Sir Jue is working. You…’
“But it’s been so long. What can’t be done? Even if it can’t be done, there should be some news. However, there’s no news. It’s New Year’s Eve today.” Le Yao didn’t want to hear the other party’s explanation. “So, I must find him. If you can’t help me, I’ll find someone else…”
“This…” Tao Qing paused and sighed. “Alright, I’ll apply and bring you there..”
