Chapter 255 Eat a Mouth
The Oriental Pearl Tower on the opposite bank shimmered with dazzling neon lights, its illumination covering a wide area and enveloping the rising balloon.
Ye Lan tilted her head back and looked up at the sky, thinking that this money was really easy to make.
Next year, I'll try selling balloons for a day during New Year's Eve.
Whether the balloon is filled with hydrogen or helium, it cannot be taken on the subway, so it has become a common practice.
In the last second of New Year's Eve, all the balloons were released into the air.
If everyone else has it and you don't, you'll stand out, which will trigger your herd mentality.
Even knowing that I can watch a grand balloon parade without spending money, I still feel that buying a balloon makes me feel like I've gone from being a bystander to a participant.
The feeling was instantly different.
It is precisely by relying on this mentality that balloons can sell so well. When the old man selling balloons saw the balance on his phone, his eyes narrowed with a smile.
"Ye Lan." Lin Xueyao blinked her watery eyes and called softly.
"Ok?"
"Lower yourself a little, I want to whisper something to you."
"Oh well."
To be honest, Lin Xueyao, at 167cm, is already considered tall for a girl, but next to Ye Lan, who is 185cm, she looks as petite as a kitten.
Ye Lan bent down and brought her ear close, only to feel her cheek brush against something. When she reached out to touch it, she found it was warm and moist.
Lin Xueyao blinked, looking completely innocent.
But Ye Wanying, standing behind the two, was incredibly excited. She had really hit the jackpot this time!
Xu Zhiqiang, standing next to him, looked uncomfortable, as if his throat was filled with the taste of dog food.
It's the kind that's cloyingly sweet.
Damn, why is there sweet dog food?
Bad review, absolutely a bad review!
Ye Lan grinned mischievously, "Little rich girl, did you just kiss me?"
"No," Lin Xueyao denied vehemently, shaking her head repeatedly.
"Are you sure your mouth is made of iron? How can you be so stubborn?"
"Ye Lan, I'm easily swayed!" Lin Xueyao pouted, a little angry.
"I don't believe it, I'll try it and see!"
After saying that, Ye Lan lowered her head and leaned closer. Lin Xueyao couldn't dodge in time, and when she realized what was happening, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
It looks like... someone is biting their lip...
Ye Wanying instantly transformed into a fanatic, excitedly jumping around on the spot, her bright eyes sparkling like stars.
Several couples nearby were stunned, and each one, not to be outdone, gave their partners a passionate kiss.
This is tough on single guys like Xu Zhiqiang.
Damn it, I can tolerate my godfather cursing me, but why are you all getting involved?
Ye Lan raised her head again, her face beaming, a crystal bead still clinging to the corner of her mouth.
He quickly wiped it off with his thumb. "I've tasted it. It's fragrant, soft, and sweet, just like honey water."
Lin Xueyao suddenly opened her arms, her eyes watery, and said, "You're bullying me."
"Nothing."
Ye Lan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She didn't know why she had kissed him so impulsively. Did her mind have its own ideas?
Wait, why does that sentence sound so convoluted? Aren't ideas born from the brain?
Was I just being controlled by my own mind?
Something about this sentence doesn't seem quite right.
Lin Xueyao turned into a whiny whiner, saying, "I don't care, you're just bullying me."
"Alright, alright, then tell me, Miss, how should I make it up to you?"
"Let me kiss you too, so you can look down."
Ye Lan: ? ? ?
Ye Wanying instantly felt her sugar levels were too high; she was afraid her blood sugar wouldn't go down tonight.
...........
In the evening, in the presidential suite.
Lin Xueyao walked out of the bathroom in slippers, her hair still wet. She was only wrapped in a pure white bath towel, and her exposed skin was as white as snow and as delicate as a touch.
"Ye Lan, help me blow-dry my hair."
"Oh, here we come."
Lying on the bed, Ye Lan put down her phone, which was playing a video of a sword-forging competition. She put on her slippers and went to the dressing table. She first smoothed Lin Xueyao's damp hair before picking up the hairdryer.
Woo woo woo.
Hot air gushed out continuously from the hairdryer's outlet, tossing Lin Xueyao's flowing long hair.
Lin Xueyao closed her eyes, her delicate, curled eyelashes fluttering in the wind.
She remained motionless, like a kitten that had been petted until it went mad.
"After we wake up, we'll buy some gifts and go to your house to visit your parents."
Ye Lan felt that since he was going to take Lin Xueyao to their place for the New Year, he should at least give them a heads-up, otherwise what difference would there be between him and a human trafficker?
Lin Xueyao raised her small face, revealing her long, slender, white neck. "But my family has everything we need."
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Lin Xueyao was born into a wealthy and noble family, whose annual profits were in the hundreds of billions.
What haven't I seen and eaten—things that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water?
Giving gifts?
what to give?
Ye Lan was immediately bewildered.
"Ye Lan, stop blowing it. My hair is already dry. If you keep blowing it, it'll get mushy."
Ye Lan then realized that the hair dryer was still on, so she quickly turned it off and touched Lin Xueyao's hair, which was still smooth and flowing.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
"I remember you said before that your stepmother gave birth to a younger brother for you?"
"Well, but my stepmother treats me badly, so she definitely won't agree to let me be with you."
Lin Xueyao's eyes looked somewhat aggrieved.
Ordinary families fight tooth and nail over inheritance, let alone wealthy and aristocratic families.
If Lin Xueyao brings a boyfriend home, she won't directly take a share of the family fortune, but if she has a child, she'll have another heir.
This is also what her stepmother is most worried about.
Therefore, she wanted to postpone Lin Xueyao's wedding as much as possible, at least until her son took over the company's affairs.
Lin Xueyao is still young, just turned 20. Even if she gets married and has children in a few years, it's still not too late.
It's okay even if you're over 30.
After all, older women have more charm, and there will definitely be quite a few people who want to marry her when the time comes.
But Lin Xueyao didn't want to wait; she wanted to be with Ye Lan right now.
However, marriages in wealthy and noble families are not so simple; at least half of the direct family members must agree for the marriage to be successful.
In other words, Lin Xueyao needs the consent of three people—her father, her stepmother, and her younger brother—for her to be with Ye Lan legitimately.
Ye Lan revealed a wicked smile, "Don't worry, tomorrow I'll make your brother turn against his mother."
