After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, An Jing and Xiao Changyi planned to follow the local customs and stay up with the four little ones until dawn, while Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya also intended to return to their courtyard and stay up together as a couple until daylight.
But Ye Zhi was planning to stay up with An Jing, the boss, since she had never experienced staying up for New Year and wanted to bask in the atmosphere and experience the tradition firsthand.
However, Gong Juechen had no intention of staying up all night. He was planning to go to Nuan Huan Pavilion and even encouraged Xiao Changyi and Meng Zhuqing to join him, claiming that the Pavilion had recently featured a new Oiran who was exceptionally beautiful and suggested they go take a look. He offered to treat them to the visit.
Xiao Changyi cast a murderous glare directly at him.
