When Sheng Ning arrived backstage, Liu Yilan had already finished her performance and was waiting at the door with perfect posture.
"Liu Yilan from the General Union Dance Troupe reporting."
"Sheng Ning from the General Union Dance Troupe reporting."
The voices were strong and powerful, their figures still energetic and sprightly, just like when they parted at the Song and Dance Troupe.
The two exchanged a smile and hugged each other excitedly.
"Have we finally reunited?" Sheng Ning teased, trying to appear relaxed.
"Yes, of course." Liu Yilan let her go and looked carefully at her face as tears involuntarily fell, "I never thought we’d meet again here, in this way."
"So, how do you feel? Excited? Happy? Surprised?..."
Before Sheng Ning could finish, Liu Yilan gave her a smack on the head, making her head tilt sideways. Housekeeper Xing saw it from behind and felt both furious and anxious, feeling that if it weren’t for the Family Head’s presence, Liu Yilan would’ve been in trouble.
"How dare you ask? Who gave you the courage? Huh! Explain this to me."
Liu Yilan’s fierce demeanor emerged, arms crossed with a cold gaze, looking quite intimidating. The large group of staff behind her was dumbstruck. Is this... is this still the Liu they knew?
"Explain what?" Sheng Ning maintained a smiling face.
"Still smiling? You still dare to smile?" Liu Yilan’s brows furrowed as she pointed her slender white finger at Sheng Ning’s forehead, scolding, "Why am I the last one to know? Why didn’t you tell me the first moment? Tell me! Tell me. I just want to know, what do you see me as in your heart?"
"Uh... don’t say that, if our Living Yama hears, they might overthink it."
"Cough, cough..." Liu Yilan almost choked on her own saliva and then pinched Sheng Ning’s face, "Alright! So after not seeing each other for such a long time, your skin has grown thicker, huh? I bet nobody has been keeping an eye on you, thinking your wings have grown, right?"
"No, no, my dear Yilan, let me apologize to you, okay? I was wrong, it’s all my fault."
At first, it was impossible to notify her, being far away in Europe, but later she was capable of it. It’s not that she didn’t want to, but just as she took over the Feng Family, she was so busy she barely had time for her kids.
Moreover, she thought she’d soon return home, and Liu Yilan would definitely e back for the New Year too. They’d meet then. But she overlooked one point; Liu Yilan might have already heard from Chen Huaying and perhaps thought she had died, feeling heartbroken at the news.
Indeed, she hadn’t handled this thoroughly.
"Hmph! I wasted so many tears for you." Liu Yilan, not satisfied, pinched again.
"Don’t pinch! You should know how precious my face is; it can’t be pinched."
"Oh, my! I didn’t know the head of the Feng Family is so precious."
"No, no, no... It’s your hand that’s precious. Your hand is an artist’s hand, worth thousands of gold; if it’s touched or injured, it’s a disaster."
Finally, Liu Yilan couldn’t help it and burst into laughter, her expression instantly changing from cloudy to sunny, "Sheng Ning, I never knew you could be so glib."
"I’m just happy to see you." Oh dear! The image she had cultivated over the past two months is all gone now.
