Chapter 142 I'll just share a room with Duan Yao.
While observing the situation, a meal was completed.
The sky had already darkened, and the courtyard, adorned with lanterns, was filled with a festive atmosphere.
After the meal, Madam Duan took Song Beiyou's hand and said, "Come on, let's go to the yard to set off fireworks."
Qin Shuyao chimed in, "I bought a lot of sparklers, Auntie, let's play together later."
Duan Yu scoffed, "What's so interesting about a fairy wand? It's definitely more exciting to watch a rocket launcher, cousin."
"Auntie, let me take you to ride the firecracker."
One is called "little aunt," and the other is called "aunt." If you didn't know better, you'd think Song Beiyou and Duan Yao were already married.
The way he called out was so natural that Song Beiyou's lips twitched.
Lou Yue stood on the other side of Old Madam Duan, and these words sounded rather harsh to her ears.
He subconsciously glanced in Duan Yao's direction.
Duan Yao did not come out with them; he remained seated.
He seemed to be on the phone, probably discussing something important with someone from the conglomerate.
After all, in other people's eyes, he is someone who works all year round.
This glance was accurately captured by Song Beiyou, causing her lowered gaze to darken.
They quickly disappeared again, pretending they knew nothing about what had happened.
Madam Duan patted her hand, "You're about the same age as Shuyao and Duan Yu, would you like to play with fireworks?"
Song Beiyou nodded, he really wanted to.
In the past, there was no chance to play fireworks on New Year's Eve; we could only look up at the sky and watch those fleeting glimpses.
Since we have this opportunity at the Duan family's old residence today, let's give it a try.
Madam Duan's eyes were full of Song Beiyou, and she was more and more delighted with him. "Tell Duan Yu to get ready, so we can have some fun later."
After saying that, Madam Duan had a sudden inspiration. She let go of Lou Yue's hand and led Song Beiyou to a corner, using a coaxing tone for a child, "Baby Youyou, would you like to stay tonight?"
Let's stay up all night here!
Look, you and Ayao have both been drinking; it won't be convenient for you to go back.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow, I'll make the snacks I made for you before, how about that?"
Song Beiyou was amused by Madam Duan's tone, "Okay."
She shouldn't have stayed in the first place; it's not appropriate for a girl who's not yet at the point of discussing marriage.
But tonight is different. Who told someone in this family to want to cause trouble? Well, then, let's stay.
Seeing that Madam Duan was in a good mood, Song Beiyou added another layer of happiness to her mood, saying, "I can share a room with Duan Yao."
When Madam Duan heard this, she almost laughed her dentures off.
Covering her mouth, she looked at Song Beiyou in disbelief and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Really?"
At this rate, wouldn't it be just around the corner to have another grandson or granddaughter?
He wanted to laugh heartily, but he was afraid of scaring Song Beiyou away, so he restrained himself.
Song Beiyou nodded, "Okay, don't tell anyone yet, just you and me, to give your son a surprise."
The main reason was that Lou Yue couldn't know; Song Beiyou wanted to observe and see how things went.
Let's see how far she goes.
The two spoke in hushed tones, and with fireworks constantly going off outside, no one else knew what Old Madam Duan and Song Beiyou were talking about.
Lou Yue did not feel awkward because Old Madam Duan suddenly let go of her.
He turned around and walked toward Duan Yao, who was still sitting at the dining table.
Duan Yao was indeed on the phone just now. Even on New Year's Eve, Yan Li still made time to report something about the conglomerate.
However, the call had already ended.
He didn't go to see Song Beiyou because he felt something was off about him, and the face of a strange woman lingered in his mind.
The woman's face belonged to none other than Lou Yue.
Duan Yao considered himself to have an excellent alcohol tolerance, able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but he couldn't explain the situation at this moment.
A strange sense of guilt welled up inside me, and I wanted to slap myself.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. After a brief moment of relief, Song Beiyou's appearance returned.
At this moment, Duan Yao felt that his mood was not as heavy as before, and he felt much better.
Unfortunately, Song Beiyou's appearance vanished in just that short moment.
In her place, it was Lou Yue again.
Duan Yao resisted this change in himself. He got up, wanting to find a tap to wash his face and see if it would make him more awake.
Just as he was about to stand up, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. "Brother Yao."
At the sound of the word, Duan Yao stood there stunned for a moment, feeling as if his mind had gone completely blank.
I was thinking of washing my face, but I've completely forgotten about it now.
Lou Yue noticed the slight emptiness in his eyes, and then looked at Song Beiyou, who was already holding a rocket outside the courtyard. She asked nervously and excitedly, "Brother Yao, what are you planning to do? I'll go with you."
Then he said, "Shall I take you back to your study?"
Duan Yao did not respond to Lou Yue's words, but instead made returning to the study his objective.
I left the dining table and walked straight to the living room. Then I headed towards the elevator, got on, and pressed the button for the fifth floor.
Lou Yue stayed by his side the whole time.
Lou Yue's heart was pounding in her throat the whole time, until now the elevator was halfway there.
Her palms were sweaty, and a hint of secret joy began to stir within her nervous heart.
However, just as the elevator was about to reach the fifth floor, Duan Yao suddenly looked at her with a chilling gaze and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lou Yue's heart, which had sunk, was suddenly lifted again, pounding loudly.
After forcing myself to remain calm, I said, "You've had too much to drink. Your godmother asked me to take you back to your room to rest."
"Get out!" Duan Yao's eerie gaze did not disappear; instead, he suddenly roared at Lou Yue.
Lou Yue didn't understand where things went wrong. Although she was unwilling, she remained calm and said, "Okay, I'll leave immediately after I get you to the fifth floor."
Once he finished speaking, Duan Yao didn't say anything more.
The elevator quickly stopped on the fifth floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, neither Duan Yao nor Lou Yue stepped out.
Lou Yue didn't look directly at Duan Yao, but reached out and pressed the button to open the elevator door. "Brother Yao, we're here. Go and rest."
Duan Yao neither responded to her nor took a step outside.
Seeing this, Lou Yue cautiously turned her head away.
Duan Yao's forehead was covered in sweat.
This scene instantly reminded Lou Yue of Madam He's words: if the other party is covered in sweat, it proves that the effect of the mixture has reached its peak.
Taking action in this situation guarantees a win!
Lou Yue didn't want to miss out, and all her ambitions surfaced at this moment. She reached out and tentatively grabbed Duan Yao's shirt sleeve.
With a soft voice, she stepped out of the elevator first, "Brother Yao, let's go outside."
A miracle occurred; Duan Yao actually cooperated and allowed Lou Yue to lead him out of the elevator.
Lou Yue finally breathed a huge sigh of relief the moment the elevator doors closed.
At this moment, she could no longer hold back. All her affection for Duan Yao erupted at this instant, and she opened her arms to hug him.
Unfortunately, something went wrong again. Before her outstretched arms could even touch Duan Yao, he suddenly grabbed her by the neck with his large hand.
They're holding me down tight!
The force was so great that Lou Yue couldn't speak; she could only stare wide-eyed at the person in front of her.
She started racking her brains, trying to find a solution.
Just then, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared beside her and Duan Yao, looking her up and down with a smile, "Miss Lou, why bother?"
