Seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s face covered in flour, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She had never seen Huangfu Ruiling like this before. Normally, he never showed such a childish side.
Thinking this, she felt an urge to join in. She wanted to capture Huangfu Ruiling’s current appearance on her phone. However, she doubted he would want photos taken at this moment!
Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t oblivious; he noticed Ye Leng’an’s secretive demeanor.
He wasn’t a puppet; when Ye Leng’an was goofing around with his face, he felt it. Yet, he didn’t stop her. Instead, he allowed her antics.
Faced with his gaze, Ye Leng’an felt a moment of guilt. She chuckled. “I accidentally got flour on your face while cleaning your face.”
She doubted Huangfu Ruiling would believe her explanation. Nonetheless, she had no choice but to offer it. Besides, it was just a casual remark; she didn’t expect him to believe it.
Hearing her explanation, Huangfu Ruiling burst into laughter. Then, a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. He reached out and wiped her face.
He was rolling dough, and his hands were flour-covered. Now, he smeared it all over her face.
His movement was swift, leaving her momentarily stunned. By the time she reacted, her face was covered in flour.
Glaring at him, Ye Leng’an retaliated by grabbing a handful of flour and tossing it at him
He immediately fought back.
Before they knew it, the two of them, who had been dutifully making dumplings, forgot about the dumplings altogether. They began playfully tossing flour at each other, like children, turning the living room into a battlefield.
Laughter filled the room, adding to the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Half an hour later, they both lay on the sofa, smiling.
The living room was now a mess.
Looking at the chaos, Ye Leng’an felt a pang of guilt. After surveying the scene, she stammered, “So, what do we do now?”
They had started making dumplings in the dining room, but their antics had spilled over into the living room. Now, both rooms were covered in flour, as were they. It was quite a sight.
Ye Leng’an was the one who initiated the mischief, so she couldn’t help feeling guilty. She had suggested making dumplings, and now things had ended up like this.
Huangfu Ruiling remained calm. “Let’s clean up first,” he suggested. “I’ll have someone come to tidy up the living room.”
It was impossible for just the two of them to clean up the mess. If left to them, they probably wouldn’t finish today. Especially with flour scattered all over the carpet and sofa.
Ye Leng’an quickly washed up and came downstairs.
As she descended, she saw that Huangfu Ruiling had already finished cleaning up and was sitting on the sofa. The living and dining rooms were spotless.
She sat down beside Huangfu Ruiling and sighed as she glanced at the dining room. “I was looking forward to making dumplings today,” she lamented. “But it looks like that’s not happening now.”
They had barely made any dumplings before their playtime began. And now, those few dumplings had been sacrificed during their antics.
Seeing Ye Leng’an’s disappointment, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled and said, “We can try again next time if you want.”
Of course, he felt they should practice first. Otherwise, they might end up with more oddly shaped dumplings that tasted questionable.
“We’ll see.” Ye Leng’an chuckled, checking the time. “Our meal should be arriving soon.”
“It should be here in a few minutes,” Huangfu Ruiling confirmed.
He had ordered the meal before they went to clean up. Judging by the time, it should be arriving shortly.
As Huangfu Ruiling finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
“That was quick!” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, then stood up to answer the door. “I’ll get it!”
Seeing her move, Huangfu Ruiling remained seated.
However, upon seeing the familiar faces accompanying Ye Leng’an, his brows furrowed in displeasure. “What are you doing here?”
The visitors were none other than Huangfu Jingzhang, Zhongyu Liuying, and others, including Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating. A family of four had suddenly dropped by.
What surprised him most was that Zhongyu Lingshan was also with them. Li Yiran, however, was absent. He wondered if she was left behind intentionally or for another reason.
Ye Leng’an’s expression remained neutral. She sat beside Huangfu Ruiling without a word, casting a curious glance at those uninvited guests.
Upon opening the door and seeing the visitors, she was momentarily taken aback. However, she quickly stepped aside to let them in.
She hadn’t expected Huangfu Jingzhang and the others to visit on this particular day. But upon seeing Zhongyu Lingshan behind Zhongyu Liuying, she understood why.
Raising an eyebrow, she observed Zhongyu Lingshan with keen interest. It seemed she found the situation quite amusing.
Sensing Ye Leng’an’s gaze, Zhongyu Lingshan tensed momentarily. She frowned at Ye Leng’an, but soon noticed Ye Leng’an looking away. Her frown deepened.
