Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Chaos Year 10

Winter day, outside the window, snowflakes flutter, inside the house, the orange light scatters in every corner, beneath the quilt, the couple shows deep affection.

...

After a love affair, both of them were sweating profusely, but still held onto each other without letting go. He Teng, who had sobered up from the alcohol, looked down at his petite and pampered wife in his arms, gently wiped the sweat from her face and asked, "Tired?"

"What do you think?" He Zhilan replied lazily, and then lowered her head to gently scratch He Teng’s chest with her nose tip like a little cat, "Are you born in the year of the Dog? Tomorrow morning, there will definitely be bite marks all over!"

He Teng chuckled softly, tightened his arms a bit, and changed the subject, "What were you and Dongxue talking about earlier that got her all worked up?"

"Right!" He Zhilan perked up, and raised her head to look at He Teng, her eyes brimming with laughter, "Lin Chan told me he likes Dongxue, and he wants to pursue her. Would you oppose it?"

"It’s up to Dongxue herself. If she wants to be with him, as her brother, I have nothing to oppose," He Teng said. "I’ve met Lin Chan’s parents; they are good people. I’m not worried about them being unsuitable, or that she would suffer."

"What about Kang Xing?" He Zhilan was worried about Kang Xing, "It’s been several years, and Kang Xing still has feelings for Dongxue."

"That’s because Dongxue hasn’t been dating anyone these years, so Kang Xing hasn’t given up. Once Dongxue starts seeing someone, Kang Xing will naturally know he needs to let go," He Teng gently patted He Zhilan’s head, "Rest early, everyone will probably get up early tomorrow, and there might not be any time for laziness."

He Teng knew this well, because right across lived the noisy girl from the Chen Family, Chen Ya’nan.

The next morning, just around seven, He Zhilan was woken up by the laughter and chatter of Chen Ya’nan and He Dongxue in the living room. Sleepy, He Zhilan nearly floated out of her room, and after washing up, she was much more alert and prepared morning tea for them.

It was also an old tradition of the He Family, on New Year’s Day before breakfast, to drink a cup of sweet water tea, symbolizing a sweet and happy year.

On the fifth day, He Dongxue was called back to the hospital early by a phone call. When He Dongxue left, the house suddenly quieted down, and He Teng also received a call to attend a meeting in the city.

"It’s just a meeting, you should be back tonight, right?" He Zhilan clung to He Teng’s arm, unwilling to let go, "With Dongxue gone and you at a meeting, I’ll be so bored at home~"

"I should be back." He Teng said, "The meeting is related to our last mission in S Province and should only take half a day."

He Zhilan was fully aware of the matters in S Province, so He Teng didn’t hide them from her, "Lan Li is still stationed in S Province. Although the charges against Gu En for arrest became untenable because Lan Song’s parents bribed someone, there has been no movement in the capital recently. However, someone has always been watching Gu En and the Gu Family."

He continued seriously, "It’s confirmed that Lan Song’s parents are now in the capital but have not contacted the Lan Family or Gu Family. They only deal with the Zhou Family in secret. So, be very careful whenever you go to the capital, and make sure not to be targeted by Lan Song’s parents."

He Zhilan nodded, "I won’t be going to the capital until after the Lantern Festival."
