Chapter 518: 481 The Pressure of Being Alone (1 Update)

On this side, when Chen Duoduo realized that, besides Bai Dingyang and herself, there were no other familiar faces around, she suddenly felt a little pressure to be alone with Bai Dingyang.

With a strong-willed effort, she continued to follow the crowd for a short distance. The throng was so dense, but she was protected in the small piece of heaven that Bai Dingyang had carved out for her and actually felt quite comfortable.

No one jostled her.

Moreover, Bai Dingyang was very gentlemanly. His protective arms circled around her but never once touched her body, even though there were so many people.

Even so, after not seeing any acquaintances, Chen Duoduo still felt nervous and uneasy.

"Bai... Mr. Bai, it seems like we’ve lost track of the others," Chen Duoduo said, looking around but not daring to look directly at Bai Dingyang.

"Mhm, it’s normal to get separated in such a crowd; it’s alright. We can go find them whenever you’re tired of looking," Bai Dingyang’s voice was low and alluring.

"..."

When Chen Duoduo realized what she was paying attention to, her cheeks grew even redder.

Now that Bai Dingyang had said so, Chen Duoduo really didn’t know what to say.

It was their first meeting, and he had taken such thorough care of her. She had met many people, male stars, male models, men who were handsomer and more charming than Bai Dingyang, and she was used to seeing them.

But this was the first time a man had made her, a great photographer who had seen all facets of the world, feel so unsettled and nervous.

Chen Duoduo, what exactly are you nervous about?

Chen Duoduo couldn’t help but curse herself silently.

It was fortunate that Bai Dingyang couldn’t hear her thoughts, or else he would have laughed.

With effort, she continued to move with the flow of people alongside Bai Dingyang. She didn’t know how long they had walked, but Chen Duoduo felt it was very late.

She stopped, and Bai Dingyang stopped as well. "What’s wrong?" he asked proactively.

"It seems like there are more and more people, and we’re getting further away from the others. Let’s go look for them, shall we?"

Chen Duoduo really couldn’t handle being alone with Bai Dingyang. When she had ridden in his car earlier, she had felt comfortable in that cramped and tight space.

Why did she feel so uncomfortable now that they were in a crowded place?

Chen Duoduo felt her thoughts were somewhat abnormal. After all, he had been nothing but a gentleman to her.

No, no, she needed to see Lu Zhu, Lu Han, and Tang Su right now; otherwise, she feared that her clumsy reactions would give something away in front of Bai Dingyang.

"Alright, shall we make our way back?" Bai Dingyang followed her suggestion.

"Mhm."

By around half-past ten, Bai Dingyang and Chen Duoduo finally caught up with Lu Zhu and the others.

Sun Qing had stormed off, Bai Simen had made a call and regrouped, leaving only Lu Han and Tang Su missing.

The group waited for a while longer, and finally, Lu Zhu checked the time, took out her phone, and directly called Lu Han. "Where are you two having your secret rendezvous?"

Lu Han: "..."

Was this his gentle and dignified sister?

Could a woman of her standing really use words like "secret rendezvous"?

"We’re in the car, waiting at the intersection. You’ll see us once you drive out; we’re flashing our lights," he replied.

After hanging up, Lu Zhu said, "They’re already in the car, at the intersection. Let’s go."

Since Sun Qing was gone and Bai Simen didn’t want to share a car with Bai Dingkai, the two women naturally paired up, agreeing to go together.

Bai Dingyang glared at his two younger brothers but didn’t say anything more.

Two women in one car, the three brothers in another, and Lu Zhu with her husband Song Mingxiu in yet another car, the three vehicles set off, one after the other, to join Lu Han and Tang Su.

Tang Su, in the meantime, was snuggled up against Lu Han, responding to messages from everyone. Once nine o’clock passed, many people were free, and there was a flurry of red envelope sending and grabbing in the group chats.

Tang Su also distributed and snagged red envelopes.

In her employee group chat, Tang Su sent out several large red envelopes for them to grab, with the last one containing 666 for each person, wishing each of them smooth sailing in the coming year.

Ade, thick-skinned as ever, "Boss, big boss, the greatest boss in the whole world, how about another 888 one?"

Ruan Mei: "@Ade, you could be even more shameless."

Next, Tang Su sent out a red envelope of 888 to everyone, with a blessing message wishing everyone huge wealth in the coming year.

Ade, now feeling a bit embarrassed, "Tang Su, love ya."

Tang Su: "Doctor Lu is here."

Doctor Lu: "Be careful the next time you come to the hospital, you might suffer."

Ade immediately retracted his statement, then apologized, "I dare not, I’ll never dare again."

Tang Su: "Happy New Year, everyone. We are heading up the mountain now."

Sun Qing was sitting in the front passenger seat at the time, eagerly grabbing various red envelopes in her group chat, happy even with just a few bucks.

She had left earlier in a huff but called Tang Su at the intersection, who told her to wait where she was and that she and Doctor Lu would come right over.

After the three of them met, Lu Han didn’t blame her for interrupting his alone time with his wife. After listening to Sun Qing’s complaints about Bai Dingxian, the downpour of red envelopes in the group chat began.

The two of them had been grabbing red envelopes non-stop since then.

Tang Su had to deal not only with the employee group but also family group chats. The Tang Family Clan Group had already welcomed Lu Han, but Tang Su didn’t want him to join the Su Family Clan Group.

Lu Han agreed too; if his wife didn’t want him to join, he wouldn’t.

Honestly, he really didn’t care much for contacting those people from the Su Family.

Apart from Tang Su’s Uncle and Su Yu, the rest could be forgotten.

However, though the two of them didn’t join, someone couldn’t wait for Lu Han to join their family group.

Su Wanyi @ Su Ruoan: "Tang Su and Lu Han are married now, so Lu Han is part of the Su Family. Why haven’t you invited him to our family group yet?"

Shen Xuan @ Tang Su: "Tang Su, aren’t you adding your husband to the group?"

When Tang Su saw the group messages, she sighed at the thought that Su Wanyi and Shen Xuan were indeed like mother and daughter.

Old Madam Su with a voice message: "Right, hurry up and add Lu Han. I’m waiting to give red envelopes to the younger generations, and Lu Han is one of them."

Su Ruoan didn’t respond in the group chat for a long time, and neither did Tang Su.

Anyway, they pretended they hadn’t seen anything.

Since Lu Han wasn’t in the group chat, he naturally didn’t know how eager they were to have him join the Su Family Clan Group.

After waiting for a while, Su Wanyi @ Su Ruoan @ Tang Su @ Tang Shengyi @ Tang Feng: "What’s with your family of four not picking up the phone or replying to WeChat messages, what are you all busy with?"

Tang Su: "..."

They all knew they were busy, yet still insisted on tagging them, how could they be so inconsiderate?

Finally, the family sent a message in the group chat.

Tang Feng @ Tang Su: "It’s Chinese New Year; we should at least wish grandma a happy new year."

Tang Su replied: "Right, I know. I’ll call grandma right away."

Su Ruoan: "My son and daughter, you’ve worked hard. Let mom send you a big red envelope to comfort you a bit."

Soon after, each sibling received a transfer of ten thousand yuan.

Such a huge red envelope, the first of its kind they had ever received.

Instantly, their little hearts were soothed.
