A foreign city, dear you

"Then what do you want?" Ye Lian's tone changed and she was already angry.

"Let Ye Wei stay out for one night tonight, just one night on New Year's Eve, and you can come over tomorrow." Cao Xueqian solemnly stretched out a finger to assure Ye Lian.

Ye Lian couldn't believe her ears.

"Are you serious?" Ye Lian confirmed again.

"I'm not kidding you. We will bear the accommodation fee for this night." Cao Xueqian's expression could not be more serious.

Ye Lian stopped talking. She walked to the bed and sat on the edge.

It was still raining outside, and the raindrops fell on the glass, and then flowed down drop by drop, leaving streaks of water; the wind blew in front of the building, making a whining sound.

This is New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, the night when relatives get together. But Ye Wei, her younger sister, was not allowed by her brother-in-law to celebrate the New Year with her sister and brother-in-law's family. The reason was that ridiculous custom.

Where could such a young and inexperienced girl go on such a New Year's Eve night when everyone was laughing?

For the first time, Ye Lian felt that Cao Xueqian was not as perfect as she admired.

Although he has received a higher education, it turns out that there are times when he is unenlightened, and he can still be so feudal and superstitious!

If Cao Xueqian's image in Ye Lian's mind was like a building, then at this time, the building began to loosen its tiles.

"It's Chinese New Year, do you insist that Ye Wei go outside?" Ye Lian's voice became cold, as if she had already made up her mind.

Cao Xueqian nodded.

"Okay!" Ye Lian threw out these two words without thinking. Without saying another word to Cao Xueqian, she went straight to the bedroom door and opened it.

Ye Wei stood outside the door.

Ye Wei was a little at a loss when he saw Ye Lian suddenly opening the door.

She heard bits and pieces of the conversation between Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian in the room just now, and she didn't know what to do.

Her sister and husband are all people she respects very much. She is like a mother, and her sister worries about her a lot; and her brother-in-law is really closer than her brother. Without his support, she would not be able to successfully complete her studies... She I have always obeyed their orders, but now...

"Ye Wei, pack your things. You can't stay here tonight. You can go out and find a place to stay later. If you are late, you may not be able to find a hotel. There are already many hotels that are not open." Ye Lian With a serious expression, he ordered Ye Wei firmly one sentence after another.

Ye Wei looked at Ye Lian numbly, unwilling to believe what his sister said.

After Ye Lian finished speaking, she returned to the bedroom.

She took out her newly purchased beige backpack, changed her clothes, then opened the drawer under the wardrobe and took out her wallet...

"What are you going to do?" Cao Xueqian followed Ye Lian and asked in confusion as he watched her series of furious actions.

"What do I want to do? Aren't you going to let my sister spend the New Year here? Are you going to let her go out and live alone? Well, I'll go out with her. Is that okay now? Is it as you wish?" Ye Lian Angry.

Seeing Ye Lian's decisive and non-negotiable look, Cao Xueqian was dumbfounded.

Is this still the usual Ye Lian who is always obedient to him?

"I didn't say let you go out." Cao Xueqian quickly clarified.

"Then do you think I will let my sister go out alone? In that case, will I still be a sister? Let me tell you, if my sister is here, I will be there; if my sister leaves, I will leave!" Ye Lian was very determined.

Cao Xueqian was speechless for a moment, feeling that things were a little out of control.

"Ye Wei, let's go!" Ye Lian urged.

It was the first time Ye Wei saw her sister and brother-in-law arguing, and it was because of herself. She felt very uncomfortable and followed her sister silently.

Ye Lian opened the door and was greeted by a cold wind mixed with rain.

"Are you serious?" Cao Xueqian panicked and went to grab Ye Lian's hand, but Ye Lian threw it away forcefully.

Someone was already setting off firecrackers outside.

It's New Year's Eve, but she, Ye Lian, is taking her younger sister out for a float. She doesn't know where to stay, just because of someone's unreasonable idea.

Ye Lian raised her feet and walked out of the door. Cao Xueqian hurriedly took the lead and blocked Ye Lian's front.

"I won't let you leave!" Cao Xueqian said.

"Get out of the way!" Ye Lian shouted angrily at Cao Xueqian.

Lanshan didn't know what happened suddenly. When he saw his mother shaking hands and leaving him, he hugged his mother's legs and cried "Wow".

Ye Lian originally did not plan to take Lan Shan with her, thinking that Lan Shan would be more stable at home with Cao Xueqian.

But when Lanshan cried, she changed her mind.

Ye Lian bent down, took Lanshan's hand, and said, "Shanshan, if you don't cry, mom will take you with me."

"You can't take Shanshan away!" Cao Xueqian stopped him again.

"It's funny! He is my son. I can take him with him if I want."

"You can't, unless..." Cao Xueqian hesitated.

unless? I don't care about your "unless".

Ye Lian grimaced.

Cao Xueqian saw that Ye Lian was not interested in talking to him, so he had to stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Get out of the way!" Ye Lian's tone was indifferent.

"I won't let it go unless..." Cao Xueqian said "unless" again.

"Unless unless, unless what? Can you be more relaxed? We still have to go out to find a hotel." Ye Lian asked angrily with a cold face.

Cao Xueqian still didn't answer immediately.

He looked at Ye Wei and motioned Ye Wei to take Lanshan into the house.

There were only two people outside the door, Cao Xueqian and Ye Lian.

"Unless, unless you pack me up and take me away." Cao Xueqian lowered his head, pretending to be aggrieved and begging Ye Lian to pack him up. His eyes and tone were full of pleading.

Ye Lian made a "puff" sound and was amused.

This smile was like a ray of light leaking out of a gap in a dark cloud, giving Cao Xueqian hope of clearing up.

"Okay, don't leave! Is it okay if I'm wrong?" Cao Xueqian took the opportunity to continue begging hurriedly while pushing Ye Lian into the house.

"Aren't you afraid of affecting your luck?" Ye Lian didn't give up.

"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of you leaving me." Cao Xueqian said without hesitation.

Ye Lian rolled her eyes at Cao Xueqian, but she no longer insisted and followed Cao Xueqian into the house.

A New Year's Eve storm finally turned around and ended because of love.

Family affection and love finally defeated the so-called customs.

Cao Xueqian finally made concessions and changes for Ye Lian.

Ye Lian doesn't know if the family will be really unhappy in the next year. But no matter what, she would not let her biological sister have no place to stay on New Year's Eve.

I hope God will take care of her sisterly affection and protect their family smoothly.

……

So, the family, plus Ye Wei, began to happily prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Ye Lian prayed silently in her heart: "May Qian have all the best and be safe in the new year! May all the family members be well and well!"

At the Spring Festival Gala, the New Year's bell rang, announcing that 2003 (Year of the Sheep) was gone and 2004 (Year of the Monkey) was officially here.

This year, Ye Lian will be 29 years old, Cao Xueqian will be 28 years old, and Lan Shan will be 4 years old.

Along with the New Year's bell, the sound of firecrackers outside rang loudly.

The whole world is joyful and peaceful.

Ye Lian looked at Cao Xueqian.

With a festive smile on his face, he seemed to have forgotten the customs Grandma Lanshan mentioned.
