Xiao Qian's original plan was to take advantage of the New Year holiday and have a proper outing with him. After dating for so long, one could count the number of daytime dates they had on their fingers.
He was too busy, only sneaking out at night to be with her when he found himself free. She'd thought that he might at least have half a day off during the New Year.
Seeing her disappointed look, Yu Minglang also felt upset, but there was nothing he could do.
He was already squeezing out the time to come today, after working overtime. Fearing that Xiao Qian would be upset if she found out, he held back on telling her until they had to part.
"I still have work..."
"What kind of work can't wait till after the New Year? Are they trying to kill their employees? Didn't we settle this last time?" Xiao Qian rarely ever raised her voice.
"Business people don't have holidays. There was a problem with the project we're in charge of, and we have to deal with it now."
