CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 422: CHRISTMAS "SURPRISE" (PART 2)

"Mm."

"In the future, if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you. If the ground gives way, I’ll support it for you. As long as I’m here, you won’t be bound by anyone. Understand?"

Sheng Jianan rarely said things like this. Tang Yanqi felt her mind go blank for a moment, then she nodded vigorously, "I understand!"

Sheng Jianan smiled and ruffled her hair, "From now on, if you want to go back to the Tang Family, go back. If you don’t want to go, don’t. I’ll give you a home."

After he finished speaking, Sheng Jianan kissed Tang Yanqi on the lips again, and then slowly started the car.

——

The next day, when Tang Yanqi woke up from a bout of headache, the sun was already high in the sky. Unlike the overcast weather of the past few days, today was exceptionally bright and sunny.

Holding her aching head, Tang Yanqi sat up and grabbed her phone. Seeing the time, she was so shocked she jumped out of bed. It was almost noon, and today wasn’t even the weekend, which meant she’d skipped work for an entire morning.

Ignoring her headache, Tang Yanqi quickly called Bai Bing to ask her to cover for her. But she was informed that someone had already arranged for her leave and the excuse given was perfectly plausible, leaving no room for speculation.

Tang Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief and flopped back onto the bed.

Right, how could she forget? The person sleeping beside her was the big boss.

Was it hard for Sheng Jianan to come up with an excuse to get her a day off?

After dozing for a while, Tang Yanqi slowly opened her eyes again. She had drunk enough to feel a headache but not enough to be fully hungover.

Everything that happened last night was still vividly in her mind.

She remembered them going to the amusement park together, kissing on the Ferris wheel, singing inside the pumpkin carriage on the carousel, and Sheng Jianan’s sudden words before they left.

Last night, perhaps due to the alcohol, she hadn’t felt embarrassed, just deeply moved. Thinking back now, Tang Yanqi’s face couldn’t help but burn a little.

She hadn’t been drunk last night, so how did she get the courage to act like that with Sheng Jianan?

Though it felt unreal, it was... really exhilarating.

Rolling around on the bed, hugging her blanket, Tang Yanqi slowly calmed down, and lazily got up to wash and go downstairs.

"Young Madam, you’re up? The Young Master instructed us to make you some hangover tea. I’ll bring you a bowl."

Mrs. Zhang placed the hangover tea in front of Tang Yanqi and smiled, "The Young Master said to give him a call when you wake up."

"I got it, thanks."

After drinking the hangover tea and eating something to fill her stomach, Tang Yanqi went to the yard to call Sheng Jianan.

As soon as she heard the male voice on the other end of the line, the blush on Tang Yanqi’s face started to creep back up. She couldn’t help but think back to everything that happened last night.

Especially when she heard, "Do you want to go to the amusement park again tonight?"

Sheng Jianan’s tone was clearly teasing. Tang Yanqi felt slightly embarrassed and instinctively glanced aside, starting to argue bashfully, "Amusement park? What amusement park? Did we go? How come I don’t remember? Perhaps I drank too much."

"Oh? You drank too much? Then you surely don’t remember holding my hand and saying you wanted to have a few kids with me? No worries, you don’t remember, but I do. See you tonight."

The man’s voice was low, tinged with laughter, a blatant tease. Tang Yanqi quickly retorted, "Nonsense, I never said that."

"Hmm? Didn’t you say you drank too much and don’t remember?"

"I..."

Falling into the obvious trap he set for her, Tang Yanqi bit her lip in dismay, "I’m hanging up, you busy yourself!"
