Chapter 1475: Chapter 1474: Are We Going Back to the East District?
Carefully calculating, now it’s almost the end of the year. In a little over half a month, it will be New Year’s.
Although it’s not quite the holiday yet, the streets have already started decorating with lanterns and festive colors.
Li Yan glanced at the street outside and said, "Are we going back to the East District for New Year this year?"
Both of their hometowns are in the East District.
Normally speaking, New Year’s is indeed a time to go home and visit the elders.
But Shoucheng’s current situation is special, the tasks are urgent, making it difficult for them to leave. Coupled with various reasons, going home during this period would inevitably be troublesome.
Li Yan asked out of concern for Gu Tong’s feelings, thinking that if Gu Tong really wanted to go back for New Year’s, he could find a way to make it happen, even if they could only go back for a day.
Gu Tong paused and said, "Let’s not go back."
The situation now is special, unlike previous years. If they went back now, aside from numerous troubles, it could also leave room for gossip.
Gu Tong doesn’t really mind whether they go back for New Year’s. As long as the situation is explained, her father and mother at home will understand.
Li Yan smiled softly, having already guessed Gu Tong’s response. He must admit, the young woman is truly thoughtful. In many matters, she always makes the most advantageous choices, considering things with extraordinary thoroughness.
"Let’s see how things go. If there’s an opportunity, we’ll find time to go back."
Regarding this, Li Yan will ask Qiao Chenyi later. If time permits, he would also find time to accompany Gu Tong back.
After dinner, it was already evening.
Gu Tong was extremely sleepy and just fell asleep in the car.
Like that time before, Li Yan helplessly picked up the young woman to carry her to the upstairs room to rest. He gently lifted Gu Tong, only to find she felt a bit heavier than usual.
"..." Could this be the legendary fatigue weight gain, the more tired, the more you want to eat, and the more you eat, the fatter you get?
However, for Li Yan, her weight doesn’t really matter. Honestly, he hopes Gu Tong can eat more, get a bit chunky, her body’s endurance would improve too.
Moreover, in his mind, Gu Tong is really too skinny; when he picks her up, she feels all bones. It’s better to have a bit more meat; it looks healthier.
As the couple walked into the Li Family, the first person they saw wasn’t anyone else but Mama He.
Mama He stood at the door waiting for a long time, saying, "Eldest Young Master, Young Madam, you’re back."
The scene of the Eldest Young Master carrying the Young Madam back home, the servants have long been accustomed to it.
Even if they see it, they pretend not to, treating it as the most commonplace occurrence.
Li Yan pressed his lips together without expressing much, simply answering with a light ’mm’.
Mama He walked ahead of him, saying, "The Second Madam asked several times during meals today whether the Eldest Young Master was back, hoping to have a meal together with him. But... the Eldest Young Master has many things to do and is quite busy, so he doesn’t have much time to accompany her."
Accompanying her is another way of saying "serving parents," however, Mama He didn’t dare to say it aloud.
After all...
Gong Qingwan is not Li Yan’s biological mother.
Therefore, she doesn’t have the qualification to discuss matters of serving parents.
Regarding this, the Eldest Young Master made it very clear when he first returned with his wife.
