Quick Wear: Reversing Life

The atmosphere among the crowd below was immediately heated up to a climax, and the venue was extremely hot.

Cheng Hao pushed Liu Xinyan, and she reluctantly stood up and walked onto the stage with a smile on her face.

Liu Xinyan took the KT board of 10,000 yuan bonus from the host and handed it to Cheng Yu.

"Did you do that on purpose?" She gritted her teeth while keeping a sweet smile.

"You are also a shareholder. Can't you be the presenter?"

There was still a fist's distance between their shoulders. Seeing the photographer raised the camera, Cheng Yu stretched out his right hand and put his arm around her shoulders.

The people below started to make a fuss when they saw this, and one man even shouted, "Give me a kiss!"

Liu Xinyan remained calm and said, "Chairman Ruida wouldn't try to attract attention by showing off his affection."

Cheng Yu chuckled: "This is called establishing a good image."

Fortunately, Cheng Yu could only hug her shoulders, and after taking the photo, they both left the stage together.

Cheng Hao, the newly crowned number one CP fan, excitedly waved his phone: "I took several photos of you two, they look great."

Both of them are good-looking, and their slightly official smiles give off the vibe of a wealthy couple who appear to be at odds with each other.

Liu Xinyan just glanced at it and then looked away, but Cheng Yu admired it for a few more seconds.

"You're really working hard as the chairman, but Secretary Zhang, who follows you around all the time, must be working just as much overtime as you, right?"

It seems that being the chairman of Ruida is not that easy. I have never seen a chairman of any group work more overtime than employees.

No wonder Mr. Cheng passed away at the young age of less than 70. It was a high-risk job.

Liu Xinyan smiled and glanced at Zhang Xian behind her. "You must have received quite a bit of year-end bonus this year, Zhang Xian?"

Zhang Xian, who had his half-year end bonus docked a while ago: ...

unspeakable trouble.

Cheng Yu smiled: "Since you asked, of course his year-end bonus will be doubled."

"Come to think of it, Secretary Zhang is already in his thirties and still not married?"

Liu Xinyan acted like a boss who cared about his subordinates, with a suspiciously kind smile on her face.

Secretary Zhang, who had never been asked any personal questions by his immediate superior, shook his head honestly.

"You don't have a girlfriend yet?"

Secretary Zhang, who works all year round, shook his head again.

Cheng Yu said calmly while looking at the tablet in his hand: "Don't be so curious about my secretary."

"Is there a distinction between you and me between husband and wife?" Liu Xinyan sneered, "I'm just caring about your subordinates on your behalf, showing some humanitarian concern."

It is certainly not a good idea for the subordinates to listen when the boss and the boss's wife are arguing.

So Zhang Xian slipped away without a trace to deal with other things.

"Can I have a good rest during the Spring Festival holiday this year?"

Liu Xinyan asked while looking at Cheng Yu's profile.

Last year during the Spring Festival, Cheng Yu and Zhang Xian were both busy working overseas, and only made a video call to their family on New Year's Eve.

When the whole family gets together during the Spring Festival, there are bound to be some frictions.

Last year, Cheng Yu didn't go home. The original owner was coldly received when she went back to her parents' home alone, and also had to face all kinds of difficulties and dissatisfaction in the old house.

Liu Xinyan doesn't want to deal with these things this year, and it's best to have Cheng Yu as a shield.

-

The Spring Festival holiday came shortly after the annual meeting, and Cheng Yu had a rare moment of free time.

After getting up in the morning and walking the dog, I exercised for a while. After breakfast, I played tennis with Cheng Hao in the backyard. It was almost noon and Liu Xinyan still hadn't gotten up.

Chen Ma, who was preparing lunch in the restaurant, said, "My wife sleeps longer in the winter."

Liu Xinyan didn't come down from upstairs until dinner was about to start.

"Mom, did you steal last night?" Cheng Hao couldn't help but ask. How could she sleep longer than him, a sleep-deprived high school student?

Liu Xinyan was too embarrassed to say that she had watched TV series too late last night.

The updated episodes were so good that I couldn’t wait until the next day, so I had to wait until Cheng Yu fell asleep and then secretly hide under the quilt and watch it with headphones on.

Seeing Liu Xinyan coming, Aunt Chen brought out a bowl of blood swallows that she often ate and placed it on the table.

The Cheng family's dining table culture does not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Cheng Hao always plays with his mobile phone while eating, which makes Cheng Yu frown.

But today is New Year's Eve, and preaching will always affect everyone's mood, so Cheng Yu didn't say anything.

Cheng Hao finished his meal in no time, left the table, and went upstairs in a flash.

Liu Xinyan saw it all and said to Cheng Yu, "Why is he always smiling at his phone lately? Could he be in a premature love relationship?"

Although Cheng Yu is not a rigid and stubborn patriarch, he is not an open-minded adult who approves of children's early love. After hearing Liu Xinyan's guess, his brows have never relaxed.

But he is not the kind of person who makes conclusions based on speculation alone.

"Is smiling at the phone considered puppy love?" Cheng Yu asked.

Liu Xinyan rolled her eyes without any dignity: "If I were to play with my phone honestly, would I smile at it?"

She was terribly sensitive in this regard. After all, this mission was largely influenced by Cheng Hao's subjective opinion. If she accidentally created a spark with Chang Xiner, it would not be such a simple matter.

"He's most likely chatting with a girl," Liu Xinyan said. "You're his father, so this task is up to you. Go ask him."

Although Cheng Yu had never laughed at his phone, what his wife said made sense.

...

The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve has always been eaten at the old house.

After giving the servants a holiday, the family took the little mound back to the old house to celebrate the New Year.

Mrs. Cheng Zeng was particularly happy: "Your aunt called and said she will come back to celebrate the New Year with us this year!"

Mrs. Cheng Zeng had two children, one was Cheng Yu's deceased father, and the other was her daughter Cheng Baohua, who married abroad.

Cheng Baohua married a wealthy businessman from abroad and gave birth to two daughters and a son, but the son died young, and only the two daughters grew up.

Cheng Baohua seldom came back in recent years. The original owner had no impression of her and didn't know much about this aunt.

I just remember that she was extremely sad when her young son died young. Mrs. Cheng Zeng and Mr. Cheng applied for a private flight to visit him during a typhoon.

A few years ago, Cheng Baohua’s eldest daughter got married in New Zealand, but for various reasons, neither Cheng Yu’s family went, only Gao Shujun went.

I heard from the older servants in the family that Cheng Baohua’s eldest daughter’s marriage was not going well, which caused Cheng Baohua to worry every day.

In the evening, Cheng Baohua brought his little daughter to the Cheng family. Although they had been pampered along the way, the long journey still made them exhausted.

"Sister-in-law." Seeing Gao Shujun coming out to greet him, Cheng Baohua's face could not hide his haggardness.

"You must be tired from the journey. The old lady is waiting for you in the living room." Gao Shujun said.

Cheng Baohua noticed Liu Xinyan inside and was stunned: "Who is she?"

"Ayu's wife, you haven't seen each other for a long time, I guess you don't recognize each other."

After all, she was an elder, so Liu Xinyan politely called her aunt.

When he entered the living room, Cheng Baohua couldn't help crying when he saw his mother, Mrs. Cheng Zeng, and they hugged each other.

The mother and daughter have indeed not seen each other for a long time. In addition, Mrs. Cheng Zeng is old, so maybe the next time she returns to China will be to attend Mrs. Cheng Zeng's funeral.

"Ayu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Haohao has grown so tall?" Cheng Baohua said with a smile, "Ray, this is your cousin."

Cheng Baohua's youngest daughter is named Ruijier, who was born after his son died young.

Cheng Baohua cherishes his daughter very much because he has a child in his old age, so he wants to bring her with him when he goes home to visit relatives this time.

Rachel is only 23 years old and still in college. She has beautiful chestnut curly hair and light-colored eyes. She understands Chinese but can't speak it well.

"Hello, grandma, aunt, and cousin."

Gao Shujun glanced at Cheng Baohua, then pointed at Liu Xinyan: "This is your cousin's wife, and this is your nephew, who is not much younger than you."

Ruijier was quite well-behaved and greeted Liu Xinyan.

Liu Xinyan didn't care about this insignificant aunt and her daughter. Cheng Yu didn't have much affection for this aunt either, so a polite nod was enough to greet her.

...

The mother and daughter had not been catching up for long when it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the past, the New Year’s Eve dinner was basically eaten together by Cheng Yu’s family, Mrs. Cheng Zeng, and Gao Shujun. This time, with Cheng Baohua and Ruijier added, it seemed a lot more lively.

"How are you doing recently, Lili? Are you feeling well?" Mrs. Cheng Zeng sat in the main seat, and Cheng Baohua sat on her right, picking up some food for her.

"It's fine." Cheng Baohua didn't want to worry his old mother too much, so he only reported the good news and not the bad news.

Mrs. Cheng Zeng nodded and looked at Ruijier: "Is Ray about to graduate?"

Cheng Baohua said: "She is still in graduate school. I will take advantage of the winter vacation to bring her back to visit."

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, we gathered in the living room to watch TV.

The Cheng family has a custom of staying up all night during the New Year, but Mrs. Cheng Zeng was too old to do so and went upstairs to bed early.

Cheng Baohua wanted to accompany his mother, so he followed.

Gao Shujun was not young anymore, and she was used to going to bed early and getting up early. Seeing that her mother was a little sleepy, Cheng Yu asked her to go upstairs and rest as well.

Looking at the couple sitting together, Gao Shujun didn't want to disturb them, so he nodded: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep."

Ruiji was a guest and had no habit of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, so Gao Shujun let her go upstairs to rest.

So only Cheng Yu and his family of three were left in the living room.

Liu Xinyan slept until noon and didn't get up yet, so she wasn't sleepy at the moment; Cheng Yu had stayed up all night for work before and was still able to hold on; Cheng Hao was a top late-night player and was playing games with headphones on with great energy.

In the past, when there were more young people, staying up all night to celebrate the New Year was just to sit by the stove, chat and watch TV together.

Cheng Yu doesn't like watching TV, but now he has to cooperate with his wife to watch TV series.

He soon saw Chen Boyu's face on TV.

This is a TV series starring Chen Baiyu.

"Do you like Chen Boyu very much?" He turned his head to look at Liu Xinyan and found that she was watching TV intently.

Liu Xinyan said casually: "It's okay, he plays this role very well, and this costume is very handsome."

After a while, Cheng Yu's voice was heard calmly: "It's a pity that he is already married."

Liu Xinyan: ???

"No way, he looks very young." Liu Xinyan was a little shocked. Is early marriage popular in the entertainment industry now?

"But whether he gets married or not is none of my business."

Liu Xinyan looked puzzled.

...

As the new day was about to arrive at midnight, Liu Xinyan gradually felt sleepy.

Cheng Hao had already moved back to his room, and Cheng Yu was reading a book.

Having finished watching the newly updated episodes, Liu Xinyan felt a little bored and was becoming increasingly sleepy as she passed the time.

"Go to sleep when you're tired." Cheng Yu said.

Well, it’s true that I’m a little less sleepy as I get older.

Liu Xinyan shook the blanket on her body and then rested her head on Cheng Yu's thighs.

She tilted her head and looked at Cheng Yu: "Aren't you sleepy?"

Cheng Yu moved his hand holding the book a little away, and saw her looking up at him, squinting her eyes slightly, looking a little tired.

He reached out and touched Liu Xinyan's cheek and chin like he was touching a cat, but Liu Xinyan rudely brushed away this teasing gesture.

He chuckled: "I'm fine, not very sleepy, you go to sleep."

Liu Xinyan didn't bother to be polite with him. She was indeed sleepy, so she fell asleep on Cheng Yu's legs.

...

Gao Shujun got up in the middle of the night to drink some water, but couldn't fall asleep again. He looked at the clock and saw it was almost four in the morning, so he went downstairs to check.

The huge living room was quiet, the main lights were turned off, and only some downlights in the corners were still on.

She walked down the stairs and saw Cheng Yu reading a book with a warm light from the floor lamp next to him, while Liu Xinyan was sleeping soundly in his arms.

Hearing the noise, Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at Gao Shujun.

Cheng Yu put down the book: "Why are you up so early?"

"Yeah, I can't sleep." Gao Shujun came over and saw that he was still wearing thin clothes: "Aren't you cold?"

Cheng Yu: "Not bad."

Gao Shujun's gaze fell on Liu Xinyan, and after a while he said softly, "You two seem to have a good relationship now."

Cheng Yu: “Yeah.”

Gao Shujun poured a glass of warm water for Cheng Yu and said, "Let your subordinates do some things. Don't do everything yourself like your father. Take Xinyan out to play more when you have time."

Cheng Yu: "Okay."

...

Neither the mother nor the son was the talkative type, and the conversation ended in just a few sentences.

Gao Shujun returned to his room and the living room returned to silence, with only the floor clock making a light sound.

After being interrupted like this, Cheng Yu couldn't continue reading the book in his hand.

He closed the book and put it down, looking at his wife in his arms.

Liu Xinyan was sleeping soundly and even turned over with her face facing Cheng Yu's belly.

Even through the thin clothes, I could still feel the warm air she exhaled.

His legs were a little numb, so he tried to lift them. Liu Xinyan's head slid in, and almost her entire face was pressed against his lower abdomen.

Perhaps because she couldn't breathe, she frowned.

Cheng Hao had only seen a sleeping face like this when he was young.

After a long while, Cheng Yu finally chuckled.
