Chapter 802 - 276: Arrangements Before Leaving Modu, Little Moon’s Role-Playing

January 21st, 9:30 AM.

Because Chu Yanyan was bored, she came over to play with Xia Zhijin. Li Yuan didn’t bring her, he only took Zhong Tingyue to the company.

As for Bai Weixi, she went to find her parents and Li Zixia, preparing to buy some New Year goods from Modu to take back to her hometown.

Driving Zhong Tingyue’s Porsche 911, Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue were chatting about everyday life in the car.

"Little Moon, how did you and Mrs. Gu use to spend the Spring Festival in the past?"

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Li Yuan, recalling the scenes of past New Year’s celebrations, and slowly opened her mouth:

"In the past, most of the time, it was just me and my mom celebrating the New Year at home in Sucheng. Sometimes, we would go back to my grandma’s place for the New Year with my mom..."

"Grandma’s house is in the Subei area, near the sea, not very far from Sucheng. When I was a child, the happiest time was celebrating the New Year at grandma’s house; it was very interesting there..."

Li Yuan asked: "What about your father’s side?"

Zhong Tingyue’s tone suddenly paused,

"He was very busy, with many women and kids outside, rarely having time for me and my mom. My relationship with him is quite ordinary, and in a year, the times we meet are very few..."

"Growing up, I was no different from a typical single-parent family and never felt fatherly love. After I was born, it felt like I was just a tool..."

As Zhong Tingyue talked about these things, she didn’t show much sadness. She is a very strong and independent girl...

"Let’s not talk about these unpleasant things. Being with you, we should be happy."

"Hehe, senior, my mom asked me a few days ago how we should spend the New Year this year, whether with her or with you back at your home."

Li Yuan, driving the Porsche with one hand while holding Zhong Tingyue’s small hand with the other, laughed and asked:

"Oh, Little Moon, what did you tell Mrs. Gu?"

Zhong Tingyue smiled playfully: "Hehe, senior, guess!"

Li Yuan imagined the scene of Zhong Tingyue telling her mother these words and smiled, saying:

"I think you probably would have said this."

Li Yuan pictured the scene of Zhong Tingyue talking to Gu Lanxin, his lips curving slightly, mimicking Zhong Tingyue’s tone and expression.

"Mom, I don’t know either, let’s see what Li Yuan’s plans are first!"

Hearing Li Yuan’s response, Zhong Tingyue’s bright, clear eyes widened with an exaggerated expression.

"Senior, how did you know that’s what I said?"

Li Yuan shrugged and smiled slyly: "Because we have a connection of the hearts! Hahaha!"

Seeing Li Yuan’s funny demeanor, Zhong Tingyue immediately burst into laughter, as bright as spring flowers, dispelling the chill outside...

The time spent with Li Yuan is always exceptionally relaxing and joyful, like a butterfly hiding under a towering tree, enjoying itself under the tree even if there are storms outside...

"Senior, when are you leaving Modu?"

Li Yuan thought about the timing,

The 2009 Spring Festival is on January 26th, and today is already January 21st. He first needs to accompany Xia Zhijin back to Shancheng, and then return to his hometown in Northern Anhui before New Year’s Eve.

In Shancheng, he needs to stay with Xia Zhijin for at least two or three days, so he would need to leave Modu within the next couple of days.

Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue, patted her head, and said with a smile:

"Today is the 21st, so about the 23rd, I plan to go to Shancheng first, send Zhijin home, and then fly back to my hometown in Northern Anhui."

"Oh, it’s almost the Spring Festival, so tickets must be tight. Do you want me to help book your tickets?"

Zhong Tingyue still wore a smile on her face.

Li Yuan shook his head: "I’ll let Zhijin book it, it’s more convenient. Her cousin is going back with us."

"Zhijin’s cousin? The pretty girl named Chu Yanyan?"

Zhong Tingyue was momentarily stunned, her mind recalling a similarly beautiful figure, remembering the "Milk Tea Girl" award ceremony a few days ago, where her response left a deep impression.

Because of that incident, she didn’t have a particularly good feeling towards Chu Yanyan.

After receiving the 100,000 yuan reward from the "Tea Color Moonlight" company, on stage, she wouldn’t even say a good word about Li Yuan or the company, making Li Yuan almost unable to step down...

Unaware of Zhong Tingyue’s little thoughts, Li Yuan continued to smile and said:

"Yes, she’s Zhijin’s third uncle’s daughter. We can take care of each other on the way back."

Zhong Tingyue nodded and didn’t continue the topic, then asked:

"Senior, what are your plans for the development of the ’Tea Color Moonlight’ milk tea shop next year?"

Hearing Zhong Tingyue’s words, Li Yuan smiled slightly, pinched her smooth, delicate cheeks that felt like snow, and teased:

"My dear President Zhong, what are your plans for the future development of ’Tea Color Moonlight’?"

"Why don’t you say something first!"

After being teased by Li Yuan’s playful touch, Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks blushed slightly, her charmingly seductive eyes stared at Li Yuan, and her enticing red lips, which one couldn’t resist kissing, opened haughtily.

"Hmph, if I say it, you can’t laugh at me, right?"

Li Yuan chuckled: "I solemnly listen to President Zhong’s commercial plan, and I promise not to laugh."

"Unless I can’t help it!"

"Hmph, naughty senior, if you laugh at me, I’ll, I’ll, bite you while you’re sleeping tonight, hmph!"

Zhong Tingyue’s beautiful eyes glared at Li Yuan and gave a soft hum, using her eyes to deliver a threat.

However, she didn’t know how much destructive power such a unique threat held for someone like Li Yuan, a "mentally mature man."
